The first two are developer tools. It's fine to have to use nightly at dev time (better, in fact, due to compile time improvements!), and then ensure your build works on stable too.

Also, rustfmt is a binary which can work without nightly once you've compiled it.

> They are oblivious to, and typically poor for, what the aggregate architectures look like at scale where you bring all of this IoT data together either logically or physically...

> For starters, they need to be deeply aware of the spatial, temporal, and topological relationships between nodes...

I'm not totally clear on what you mean by this. Can you elaborate? It sounds to me like you're commenting on the difficulties of implementing distributed sensor grids using existing IoT platforms (which is a very valid complaint), but not all IoT applications are meant for that. Yes, on the one side, smart electric meters connect to a smart grid, but on the other hand, smart thermostats may only need to connect to smart heaters (in the same home). Ideally the latter connection happens without ever talking to some server on the internet.

I agree, though, that IoT entirely breaks web architecture, even just on a logistical level. Forbes put out a meta-analysis last year (http://goo.gl/S0IqvF) projecting a doubling of internet-connected devices by 2020, with 75% of the expansion coming from non-traditional devices like sensor grids. Those tend to "want" to be servers a whole lot more than traditional devices, and assuming even 1% of that growth needs to be secured, you're looking at about 50 times as many SSL certificates as have been issued total, to date, in the history of the internet.

We don't just need new platforms, we need entire new protocols.

I don't think it's denial, because it has simply been true that even as many tasks have been automated away, there have been multiplicatively more tasks that haven't yet. Nobody really knows whether we should be optimistic or pessimistic about that trend continuing, but I think we should be more aware that it isn't fundamentally different than similar trends in other types of work in the past.

I think this response has something to do with the fact that artificial stimulation is often regarded as deceptive in western culture. So the decision is heavily influenced by how people see it being judged by their social environment. You can achieve an interesting twist by asking: Would you hook your brain to a pleasure machine if everybody else agrees to use it too (and of course it wouldn't cause any social or cognitive side-effects, boredom, fatigue etc.)?
I think it's interesting, I just wonder what the 90hr/mth positions will looks like? Are companies going to hire founders as technical architects, marketing consultants, unofficial legal aids, mentors - what? And what level of success in starting a company qualifies one for entry?

There are so many types of founders, in so many industries, with such varying skillsets, that I'm confused how an umbrella program could ever hope to serve even a fraction of them.

That said, good idea, keep going with it.

Because I think folk will be inclined to refer to and even hype this Craig's List hosted "event" as something akin to a launch of Perl 6 1.0.

Some will be well-meaning.

Some will be malicious.

But it won't matter. Perl 6 and Larry won't be even close to ready by October 5th (imo) for the expectations and exposure that would inevitably follow.

Imo we get just one more shot at fairly easily getting a significant chunk of the tech world to voluntarily strongly focus on Perl 6 for 15 minutes. We can and hopefully will maintain control of when that happens even if we can't control anything else.

It's going to be damn hard (but just about doable, one hopes) to make Perl 6 good enough -- as a flawed but at least interesting 1.0 -- to withstand and ultimately profit from the spike in scrutiny following a launch this christmas. If we launch (in the public's eye) now, I predict we'll get widely dismissed and will have already blown most of the unique and precious opportunity currently still available if we instead make sure that the launch, and perception of a launch, waits until christmas.

So, I do hope they record this Craig's List presentation for historical purposes but keep it for private viewing only until after christmas. (Or maybe put out a very short video of some highlights, making it clear it's not yet the launch. And maybe, just maybe, spend a couple weeks or so producing something reasonably slick, blending highlights with some other material, to try attract more contributors in the run up to christmas.)

Imo, Christmas really needs to wait until Christmas and I pray that it does.
More relevant, is that it seems safe to include the link even in name searches that also includes additional keywords, since google lost on account of them judging a very old news about him still relevant for listing in a general name query, and the court saying: not so.
OK, this is one of things where you have to be very precise with the terminology. HLS does enforce the use of MPEG-2 Transport streams, but it does not force the use of the video encoding that is packaged in the stream. It is very typical (in fact it's the norm) to see HLS using H264 for the actual encoding work, and MPEG2 TS is actually a pretty decent specification for throwing around video streams.

I don't know that you can really say that DASH is more technologically neutral. I mean what are you saying, that HLS is not technology neutral because it forces you to use an MPEG specification, but if you opt to use an MPEG specification up-front, that's neutral?

Anyway, as someone that writes the client code for these things, I much prefer the HLS approach. If you go the DASH approach, you get into one of several potential messes. Either you have to say that you're only implementing one specific profile, in which case content providers complain that you're not supporting their chosen profile, or you have to write an absolutely massive client that can accept anything thrown at it.

Apple's affection for HLS stems from this same reasoning in my opinion. They too are more concerned about the client side - they want to keep the format simple for clients to handle, so that they don't have to bloat all of their code handling all of the different options. Because don't forget, the servers don't have to deal with this complexity - they choose which bits they want to use and go with it. Clients have to be able to handle everything in the spec correctly.
How is this compare to no-script?

War can only destroy capital, perhaps the most breathtaking destruction of capital in history was WWII. So War would be antithetical to this hypothetical capital maximizer and it would be it's among its top priorities to avoid it. Similarly, the market system based on human rationality is far too volatile for our capital maximizer, it would look to replace that ASAP.
>How many Jobs/Apple movies do we need?

One good one I suppose. Made for TV movies and low budget cash-ins don't count. I love the 1980s tech era and would love to see more films handle that. Not sure if this film goes this far back but the rise of mobile is just as good of a story, and probably more relate-able to modern audiences.

>Why don't we have a decent Tesla movie?

Honestly, because it would be terrible. Tesla works as a backdrop to Edison's success but he's a bit player in almost every way. This is like asking why we don't have a Paul Allen movie. Sure, those would be interesting, but not $50m plus dollar investment interesting for a risk-averse Hollywood system.

Also, general audiences won't be too impressed with the guy who failed at a lot of things even though his technical achievements are impressive. Tesla is also a very unlikeable person from the writings we have of people who have met him. He doesn't have the Jobsian charm we're going to see in Apple movies. He doesn't have a Jobsian narrative. He was a stern and asocial weirdo and most likely would be somewhere on the autism spectrum today. It also doesn't help that his ideas went full wack-town towards the end. In a desperate attempt to make money things like death rays, perpetual energy, bullshit medical devices, etc became his norm. Not to mention his vision of wireless energy was ultimately a non-starter as it would pollute the spectrum enough to make things like TV or cell phones impossible.

On a related note, I think creatives struggled with telling Alan Turing's story, but at least with Turing we have all his influence, published papers, his victimhood, and his amazing WWII experiences. Even then, the Imitation Game wasn't very historically accurate. Tesla doesn't have any crowd-pleasing themes of overcoming adversity and his dark side is really dark - endless advocating eugenics, wanting to sterilize the poor, never having any sort of romance, becoming bitter, ultimately failing at his dreams, etc. He isn't this kindly grandfather type his fans make him out to be. He's a mess, honestly. A smart mess, but a mess nonetheless. I think any movie that makes him look relatable or a "hero" would ultimately be dishonest. By the business standards of the time, he was treated fairly. He just couldn't launch his own businesses successfully.

Yep. CFEngine is still around too with quite a few companies using it in very large deployments (many tens of thousands of servers).
I wonder what Robert Nozick would think of recreational drug use.

That is as close to that "machine" that we have in reality and its pretty clear people are willing to accept/risk the negative impacts and use such drugs.

This being the case, I'm pretty sure, people would use that machine if it was legal and cheap. Similarly, I'm pretty sure at least some of those people would prefer it to real life.

Similarly, the only reason I prefer "real life" is the relationships I built with people. If I had been given the choice, say, 10+ years ago to have such a machine ... I'd prefer it to RL and the effort it took to build the kind of life I want.

So its a philosophical question with answer of "it depends on the person and RL situation they have".
Economic systems are optimizers (each with slightly different objective functions).

One of the first things we learn about optimizers is that they are rarely globally suited to solving problems, and that the best technique is to identify and apply the locally optimal solution over the range of input.

TLDR: We need to admit that there is not a globally applicable economic system, and learn to apply different models where they are most efficient/least disastrous.
> Or are we experiencing a textbook example of the tragedy of the commons?

We sure are. But advertising, not ad-blocking, is precipitating this tragedy:

1. The commons in this case is a healthy marketplace where the users are the customers and thus vote with their dollars. The invisible hand depends on this.

2. But then a competitor comes in and offers something for "free". This is a trick, a lie. The other important principle of the free market is that there is no free lunch.[1] The advertisers pay the website with money that is added to the cost of the products they are selling. Guess who buys those?

3. Here's where the tragedy comes in: Consumers are fooled by this. You've undercut the straight up competitors that charge for their product by fooling consumers into thinking you're offering what the other guy is offering, but for free. Come on, who could turn down that? The straight-up businesses that want to compete the honest way can't. They either have to cave and switch to ads, or die.

4. The tragedy continues: Since we are now the products not the customers, businesses don't compete for a dollars by producing a product we are willing to pay for. Instead, they compete for our clicks (what they're selling to the advertisers). Competing for clicks, as most of us see every day, yields horrible products for us.[2] But of course, we are not the customer.

5. And like every tragedy of the commons, what we are left with is a misused and polluted[3] precious resource, the web.

I haven't even got into the harm advertising itself cause to society, nor how it distorts the free market, suppressing innovation and true competition.

> Is there reason for people to enter a market with a single obvious leader though?

Were there not search engines before Google? Isn't AWS the cloud computing "leader" while Google is trying to break into the space? There is no such thing as an obvious leader, only juicy prey waiting for the next hungry org to eat its lunch.

> I got the impression that making peering agreements with people on any sort of scale was a bit of a bear.

Hardly. Peering agreements are of similar difficulty level as any vendor negotiation, whether it be with a specific network or an interconnection fabric (IXP).

RISC-V is not that close to ARM, and it's not mature enough for Apple to move to it. RISC-V is interesting but I think we'll see it adopted in commercial embedded systems first.
I am upset my free riding will come to an end. I hate ads on the internet and run an ad blocker, but I also really want free content.

It'll be interesting to see how the internet evolves. If ad blockers are used by a lot of people, but not all, I expect to see the quality of content continue to fall lower and lower. The Buzzfeed crowd will be the last to adopt ad blockers.

I think it would be better if browsers just turned on ad blocking as a default. Force the web to find a new model sooner rather than later.

I wonder if Google and facebook have contingency plans for such an event.

If Microsoft wasn't so afraid of antitrust laws, I'd suggest they just introduce an adblocker built into windows and turned on as default. They could KO google in a quarter or two.

The current title, "Firefox Is Going to Support Chrome Extensions", is neither the headline nor the subject of the page; Chrome isn't mentioned. The title is simply "WebExtensions" and it's Mozilla's wiki page on the subject.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Graphs are unsupported," exactly, but in a language as low-level as Rust, all that other stuff are library features, not language features.
Oh this is nice! I really could not stand monodevelop unfortunately.
From page 19:

> But all those other languages include explicit support for null pointers for a good reason: they’re extremely useful. [....] The problem with null pointers is that it’s easy to forget to check for them.

There is no inherent reason for that; just that mainstream languages which support `null` haven't been checking `null` usage. Some of the recent ones do. For example, Kotlin has non-nullable types by default, and null types have to be explicitly marked and checked for null-ness.

Even for Java, null analysis is built into Eclipse with the help of annotations. Though, ofcourse, it would be far nicer to have it baked into the language.
unsurprisingly, well designed! And very informational.

If you're a bootstrapped startup, you should probably consider a bootstrap template. There are a lot out there, and it allows you to leverage a designers thoughts, ideas and work that they've already done, and adopt them to your own, all to the tune of $9. Unless you absolutely know what you're doing, or unquestionably need a designer, its better to pay for something prefab and build out from there.
This feels to me like design overload. Someone tried to do too much or too many ideas in a single page. I'm with you, I don't like it.

Once upon a time, would-be magicians believed that a mastery of obscure knowledge and arcane incantations could change reality.

We are their heirs. Unlike them, we don't have to dream or lie. We speak correctly, and earth and fire heed our call. Unliving metal stirs at our command. We summon daemons and bind them to obedience. We build constructs of pure thought-stuff, and conjure them into being through effort of will.

We are wizards and sourcerors, conjurers and magicians. We are what poets can only dream of.
Depends on your definition of a hard problem. Most systems programming requires none of these things.

It may come as a surprise to some but most systems engineering has very little hard computer science involved and is mostly about achieving very simple tasks in reliable ways with very robust error handling.

You rarely implement novel data-structures or algorithms. Not shipping with cyclic data-structures in Rust is not really a problem for most systems applications. That said, you actually -can- build them in Rust, and it's likely there will be nice libraries with various different allocation/memory management and other runtime tunables and performance tradeoffs.

If you exclusively consider hard computer science problems as "hard problems" then no, Rust is probably not for you. Consider Haskell or Julia.

This makes it unsuitable for gfx outsourcing work. In my last job (gamedev) people were starting to use more and more of the profiles built-in the image formats we were exporting (we settled on .tiff, but also supported .png, and few others).

Though I remember that sometimes previews (or was it layers) saved in the .tiff were making it 10x, 20x (not kidding) times bigger, so a special "save" plugin was done to filter these out, and on regular someone wrote a script to check for such.
The complexity of raising Series A
I should of added more detail. Any place that offers some semblance of mental health and homeless services gets everyone else's homeless shipped to them, or they just start coming themselves. You need a federal level mental health program that houses and manages homeless, but it's expensive, and these people are the hard cases, often with little hope of recovery.
More specifically strategy has an overall large plan and tactics take care of one specific goal.

So a strategic plan to prevent the use of a harbor might be a single strategic sized nuke. You could say the tactic and strategic levels merged into one. There's only one tactical move as part of that strategic plan. One call does it all.

A nuclear tactical plan to prevent the use of a harbor might involve as a small part of the overall mission a nuclear torpedo to put a pesky submarine out of commission so a naval invasion can happen without being sunk by the sub. Or a nuclear artillery shell to clear a tank battalion guarding an approach to the harbor from your forces that'll take control of the harbor.

Typically dropping a bridge with a nuke while retreating is rarely/never strategic, it's tactical as a tiny component of an overall retreat involving numerous tasks.

Another characteristic is strategic "button pushing" rarely is authorized on the front line, but tactical "button pushing" is usually authorized at the front line. So M16s tend not to be strategic.

Threads were introduced in UNIVAC 1108 EXEC 8, first demoed in 1967 and running in production from about 1969. They were called "activities", but were created with "fork". The OS, which ran on multiprocessors, used them internally, and applications could use them as well. EXEC 8 also had synchronous and asynchronous I/O (callbacks). It's called OS 2200 today, and still running.

When I went from EXEC 8 to UNIX in 1978, my main observation was that the I/O was better but the CPU management in UNIX was much worse.

Rust is a way better replacement for C/C++. If you didn't need those then you don't need Rust.

See: Erlang, Haskell, Idris/Agda, Scala.

And frankly: Your definition of "hard" is a bit restrictive.
