The compiler will almost certainly not be #OpenSource, which is just a tiny bit sad, but the advancement of Rust into this domain would be a milestone.
@adamjcook Hopefully it won't go the same way as when Honeywell bought SensoTec, or when Moog acquired FCS. Suddenly a product family which I had used to depend upon becoming a great bother instead: slow tech service and totally untenable delivery times.
On the other hand, it would be most excellent if there should someday exist downloadable VIs for all Emerson products. A bit late for me, as I"m soon to retire. Still, I would cheer.
Not sure about the historic district designation as far as the City of #Detroit is concerned... I had assumed it already was (but I have only been in Detroit for about a year so I am still playing catch up 😅).
@adamjcook I have a former feral who is a real scaredy cat and they do so well with her there. I absolutely adore the staff there. Also I love the history of the place
"Fix the damn roads" is one of the most out-of-touch slogans in #Michigan politics today and I wince every time I hear and see it.
I live in #Detroit and I cannot even get a damn bus to #Livonia because the City of Livonia was allowed, inexplicably under Michigan Law, to simply opt-out. 🤷♂️
@adamjcook Yeah. Every time I’m home from Oregon, I think: holy shit, Michigan has to be one of the most over-built states in terms of horizontal infrastructure in the country. It's astonishing to see the extensive road network and highways that crisscross the state, much of which is in disrepair. I don’t even think Portland has any significant stretch of 8 lane highways, but sure enough, Flint has a 10-laner. No wonder why they needed an emergency financial mamager, as did so many others.
@adamjcook I totally agree - you'd have thought the last guy might have done that if he really cared about bringing well paid working class jobs back to America to massively benefit his base. Instead he engaged in a tariff war against China which Americans paid for and we then had to subsidize farmers for loss of sales to China. I think I saw a number of $300B or more? That money could have been INVESTED in manufacturing.
It is interesting watching #Twitter (from afar) sheepishly backtrack on the #LK99 hype.
There were three, maybe four ringleaders as far as I could tell - which included some that are competent in science and physics that should have known better.
But whipping up useless hype gets people paid by Twitter at the moment.
It all really underscores my position on how unsuitable Twitter is for actual science and public education - and that was fairly true even in the pre-#Musk Twitter Era.
@adamjcook a problem with the "good science" take is that it took two weeks to get into the arxiv paper telling that the claimed phase transitions was a well known hallmark of Cu2 S. And nobody told it before in twitter.
