no kidding

I agree with a lot of what you've said. However, I know from experience these "MBA types with a medical degree" (why not "medical types with an MBA", btw?) don't stop caring about patients. Sure, there are a few who worship the almighty dollar above all else, but IME* a real concern for patients is still the foundation of their worldview. I will take a hospital run by business-minded physicians all day over a hospital run by business-minded ... businessmen.

*source: am a physician

Physician-owned (even for-profit) hospitals historically provided the best care. The ACA ("Obamacare") outlawed new physician-owned hospitals. Now we find that PE-owned hospitals both cost more and provide worse care.

Neither patient protection nor affordable care.

I think this is probably a proxy for some linear combination of IQ and industriousness.

"so far" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there =)

I was the same the first two times I tried to use rust (earnestly). However, one day it just "clicked" and my productivity exceeds that of almost anything else, for the specific type of work I'm doing (scientific computation)

This is exactly the approach taken by Walter Bright in Dlang, IIRC.

Well, despite that physician-owned hospitals have better outcomes than profit-above-all-else hospitals run by MBAs, Congress outlawed future physician-owned hospitals in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

A key advantage of hledger, and why I migrated from ledger, is that hledger internally orders transactions chronologically, whereas ledger inexplicably orders them in the order they appear int he file, irrespective of the date attached to them.

This [ledger's approach] totally breaks the ability to break different transaction types into different files and then import all files into a master file.

> Central banks are the government

The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is, despite the misleading name, a private corporation. [1] This is true I believe of many central banks. Nevertheless, and perhaps this is what you really meant, central banks can _act as an instrument of government_, or, more cynically, serve to enrich the political class and politically well-connected.

It was later noted on Twitter/X by someone that the rust version was not compiled with `--release`

> What rights in the US would have helped here the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't already do. Section 9 and 10 seem to cover this well

A fair question. First, as I was not making a top level comment, but responding to another comment, I was not specifically addressing this case, but instead making a broader statement about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (and the attendant judicial interpretations of same) versus the US Bill of Rights (and likewise legal interpretations). (Side note, a sibling comment thread makes the same argument).

In particular, Canadian courts have pretty consistently allowed more exceptions to the charters compared to US courts and Bill of Rights. Additionally, the charter makes much weaker protections in several specific circumstances, for example in section 24(2), whereby evidence collected illegally may still be used in criminal proceedings (see R v Grant 1990). But section 1 is the real kicker.

As a specific example, you referenced Section 9 of CRF. In R v Ladouceur [1], the Canadian Supreme Court found that although random traffic stops (fishing expeditions) violated Section 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they were permitted under Section 1 of the Charter.

Section 1 contains the prefatory text:

"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject *only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society*" (emphasis mine)

The fact that such weasel words / escape hatch would be enshrined into something that is purported to be as fundamental as the Bill of Rights essentially nullifies the entire thing, in my opinion. Indeed, section 1 is often quoted in Canadian jurisprudence as justification for all sorts of -- again, in my opinion -- government overreach.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Ladouceur

Unfortunately, Canada does not have the same legal protections (both in written law [i.e., the Bill of Rights] and in jurisprudence) as in the United States.

> As a foreigner, the only I have ever heard or seen of the RCMP is how courteous they are, with their red jackets, on fictional TV shows and movies, and how agressive they seem on the news.

Canada has cultivated this image [of niceness] when in reality, their jack-booted state enforcers are just like every other country's.

It's also been made harder because of the insane Obama-era "Cash for Clunkers" [1] program that massive depleted supply of used vehicles in the US with the purported effect of an economic stimulus.

My research group left D for Rust several years ago due to nonresponsiveness and poor language development trajectory.

While I wish Adam and the others success with OpenD, I hope they can take the opportunity to pick a more unique/memorable name.

And yet the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) outlawed physician-owned hospitals, when experience demonstrates they have the highest levels of care (superior outcomes) and often cost less.

Hospitals and their venture-backed owners of course love this.[1][2]

Don't get me started on what a farce "non-profit" status is.

Interesting anecdote, and entirely rational.

Time and time again, the leftist vanguard eventually find themselves on the wrong end of ideological purity. Remember that Lenin was on the outs with Stalin at the time of his death, and Trotsky met an unfortunate end.

Although I haven't used Nim, something I miss while using rust is `static if`. You can sort of approximate / do a subset of this with #[cfg(xxx)] directives in Rust.

I understand staging and prod running the same executable, but wouldn't dev typically be a debug build?

I use FreeBSD as fileserver, serving NFS to linux clients.

What do you suggest as an alternative? SMB/CIFS was -- when I last looked, which was a while back -- much slower for this use case.
