Ah but did they put AI into the F35? I think putting some AI into would make it better

I would guess it’s due to the price of oil falling and maybe the prospect of peace in the Middle East or at least lower likelihood of war with Iran leading to a belief that the price of oil will fall further in the future or be unlikely to spike higher.

They sell oil for USD and now they get another place to park those USD which diversifies their risk

I’m a centrist. Trotsky had some good points.

My only real criticisms of rust are aesthetical. I never liked how C++ is full of macros and :: and <> and rust inherits that a bit.

I use Go because of the work I do right now, which is deep in Kubernetes and APIs for which Go is just more convenient. Protobuf and K8S are of course supported by rust and many other languages as well, but in Go it’s simply easy… Go was designed from the bottom up to write APIs basically so it’s good at that. And most, almost all, of the K8S ecosystem uses Go which means I’d need a good reason not to use Go for that since standardization, interoperability, and ecosystem are key concerns.

You can use rust for this too, for sure no problem. But with Go you’re doing all of that pretty much out of the box.

The Go ecosystem in general is a little bit stronger due to higher adoption, although I wouldn't really call that a weakness of rust.

And finally less people use Rust which is another consideration for long term maintenance concerns, but to be fair Go adoption is also low.

I’m never an evangelist for any language. Well, if I could simply write everything in typescript I would to be honest because I think it’s just swell but obviously its not for this use case, and the above are the reasons why I use Go and get my teams to use Go for the use case of services, Kubernetes controllers, and since we want to use Go for those things we then also use Go for other random things like CLIs etc just because it makes sense to limit tech stack sprawl.

It’s enough of a problem for Ukraine that they decriminalized desertion if it’s a first offense, which suggests it’s a big enough issue that they can’t simply arrest people for desertion without wrecking their army and instead are incentivizing returning to their unit.

It also suggests that 100k might have gone AWOL but at least some large fraction of that 100k later return to their unit to avoid criminal sanctions.

Hmmm maybe more subsidies for coal will help the US gain an advantage in the solar manufacturing industry
