Any Faraday cage, bag or not, will eliminate surveillance of the phone until it comes online. Physics wins again.

Sadly, I’m old enough to remember that Ada was the result of a US initiative to standardize a capable language for embedded development.

A good friend worked on the well regarded Telesoft compiler…

Total nonsense. Just avoid Minnesota…

I'm surprised the author of this article thinks Go is a "system language".

Go uses GC, and therefore can't be used for hard real time applications. That's disqualifying as I understand it.

C, C++, Rust, Ada, and Mojo are true system languages IMO. It is true that as long as you can pre-allocate your data structures, and disable GC at runtime, that GC-enabled languages can be used. However, many of them rely on GC in their standard libraries.

The Go creators declared it a systems language and it's stuck around for some reason.

Their definition was not the one most people would have used (leading to C, C++, Rust, Ada, etc. as you listed) but systems as in server systems, distributed services, etc. That is, it's a networked systems language not a low-level systems language.

I think the broad consensus (and I agree with it) is that a systems language cannot have a mandatory GC. The issue with GCs isn’t just latency-optimized applications like hard real-time. GCs also reduce performance in throughput-optimized applications that are latency insensitive, albeit for different reasons.

Anything that calls itself a “systems language” should support performance engineering to the limits of the compiler and hardware. The issue with a GC is that it renders entire classes of optimization impossible even in theory.

You can preallocate your data structures and control memory layout in Go.

Also, despite GC there’s a sizeable amount of systems programming already done in Go and proven in production.

Given how much importance is being deservedly given to memory safety, Go should be a top candidate as a memory safe language that is also easier to be productive with.

I think there are some major problems with this thinking. How does this relate to human artists who studied prior art and then produced something?

I’ll grant you that AI isn’t actually intelligent, but I’ve seen many images and video that exhibited a good bit of originality, and were at a minimum a derived work…

Ayn Rand had many insightful ideas, however she took them to an extreme.

What you see as “corrupt government” others see as a “virtuous cycle”…

The main problem with your thought process is that your conflating “wealth accumulation” with “wealth creation”!

One reason foreign enrollment is declining is concern about (mainly) Chinese espionage. That’s entirely reasonable, given the vast amount of stolen engineering and research…

Buy a Tesla with FSD. No, it’s not L5 autonomy, but it’s already safer than the average human driver…and autonomous cars will only get better.
