Yes, that’s the difference between “safer” and “actually safe”.
It’s also a fallacy that rust code is memory safe. I audited a couple of large rust projects and found that they both had tens of unsafe constructs. I presume other projects are similar.
You can’t use “unsafe” and then claim that your program’s memory safe. It may be “somewhat safe-ish” but claiming that your code is safe because you carefully reviewed your unsafe sections leaves you on the same shaky ground as c++, where they also claim that they carefully review their code.

That might be true of VHDL / Verilog programmers I guess.
I found one from the early 2000s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOxSWzi9G_g
Python’s become very widely used in industry - it’s definitely a plus when looking for jobs these days. TIOBE now says it’s the most popular language in the world.
I don’t think it was specifically DARE here but I do remember some super cringe anti-drug ads in the late 80s or maybe early 90s.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.
I mean he should know since he was one of the people paying to influence the election.
Democracies usually have laws and some kind of government. There are no laws in Freetown Christiania and there’s no individual who has direct power over another.
I think this is a common misconception about anarchies - that there’s no social control of any kind. If you look at actual real world anarchies like Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen they don’t believe in a complete absence of organisation. Far from it - they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they’re all about human collaboration and concensus.
For instance when hard drugs became a problem in Christiana the residents got together and banned hard drugs. It’s not a law as such but everyone’s in agreement that if you try to sell hard drugs you’ll be ejected.
It’s not a perfect place and it’s hard to say that their brand of anarchy works well as a system of government. It seems to have been a mixed experience for many people who’ve lived there. But it’s definitely been an interesting social experiment.
There are plenty of documentaries on youtube if you’re interested.
Some things just sound like a horrible idea - because they are a horrible idea.
But you can check the other news community for that.
Hey Prince Andrew, if the truth hurts then maybe it’s you that’s in the wrong?
We have ranked voting in Australia. It works pretty well.
I think the timeline’s a bit off here.
OP describes how primitive computing was in the 80s and 90s, and speaks of a number of developments which appeared “leading up to the year 2000”. Let me give examples of all of these developments which were actually from the 1970s or earlier:
My point is that I think these advancements were made a lot earlier than OP’s saying. Sure, some of them took a while to spread but we pretty much started the 80s with all of this already in place.
You’re just saying that all comparable systems are also horrible. VTOL fixed wing aircraft are expensive and unsafe unfortunately.
It seems like the peer review process is broken too.
