Okay, but then the question becomes, how often would it have to happen before you increased the salary of your current staff as well as the offer to new hires, to reflect the new market reality?

I mean, the broader question seems to be, is this just a thing we're going through or has the world changed and are developers just demanding more money for the kind of work you're doing?
Quite the opposite; jemalloc has been the default, and using the system allocator has been the "hassle" since well before 1.0.

However a few key platforms have jemalloc disabled because it's buggy (deadlocks or worse). I think as of a few days ago it's pretty much universally off on windows.

Also whether jemalloc is used depends on how you build your thing -- dylibs use the system allocator (because they're subordinate), static libs (rlibs) inherit from the thing they're linked into, and executables use jemalloc (because they're in control).
As you might imagine, no, it's not. Linus, by choice, doesn't write most of the code in the kernel, and what code he does write is, again by choice, not primarily driven by what would most amuse him. The Linux Foundation organizes the major Linux development conferences (LinuxCon, Plumbers, Collaboration Summit, etc.), where development plans are discussed in person. Plenty of subsystems have formal workgroups hosted/organized by the Linux Foundation. That's what governance is. This isn't about being the parliament to the figurehead monarch Linus.
I don't follow the author's complaints about terms and conditions. I suppose language like "we can change these terms any time and your use of the site constitutes acceptance" sounds ominous at a naive level, but what's the alternative? It would amount to some form of preventing users from using the site until they click "agree", and then doing that again every time the T&Cs change, right?
I dont agree with this at all

I've never heard of this, and have family that served in the Pacific during WWII. I'm also having difficulty discovering any sources that mention the practice, let alone reliable ones.
That is the true price of admission...a company, scaling in the billions, can opt out if they think their initial efforts were not productive...

If you are in a position to help others and you do not that says something very profound about you...effective benevolence is hard work...always has been...
Actually, going by the analogy, you'd do precisely the opposite: solve the most intractable cases first, because they're the ones that would be soaking up the most of your long-term resources. Like Murray[1].

It's not clear that Google are taking this tack, but, as with content, I feel it's time to introduce the concept to the Web.

Author and publisher accountability.

Advertising providers, and advertising publishers, who forward "bad ads" are given a time-out.

Perhaps 10 minutes for the first instance, but increasing durations for repeat ocurrences. Days, weeks, and months for gratuitious violations.

Ad providers and publishers who find they're being timed out for violating standards are, likely, going to clean up their acts, and find ways to ensure that mistakes don't happen. Including direct vetting of content -- on their own if not by Google.

This is in Google's interest, because, as with others on this thread, the way I fought bad ads in 2015 was to install 60,000 lines plus of /etc/hosts entries, uBlock origin, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uMatrix, and, for added pleasure, Styleish, to rewrite site CSS myself. On all my own platforms.

And across the desktops of users I administer for.

Virtually all advertising is worthless, targeted advertising doubly so, and Google are in for hurt if they cannot reverse this perception. Meantime they're best positioned to buy themselves a few more years of time.

The other end they could try fixing is to make the results of directed product search -- that activity that happens when people are actively seeking products or services -- not suck as abysmally bad as it does now. Boot camp for vendors of how you should, and shouldn't, write ad copy, take product images, etc., might not be out of the question. Not that Google's to blame for all of this (not in the least) -- Amazon's product search pages are as bad as any I've seen online (Ikea, by contrast, does well, the moreso because they showed me what I wanted to look for at the store).

Or maybe it's time for a true Federated Retail initiative.
Yes, yes, very good. But seriously, if you are paying your employees below minimum wage, then one of the following must be true:
-Your business doesn't make enough income, possibly a sign of a bad business model; or
-You are intentionally paying your employees as little as possible, which I see as profiteering.

Perhaps there are other reasons?
i don't buy it.

We're talking about the authors here, not just readers, so yes, having an click-though for a change in Terms of Service seems appropriate.. Sending an email to users when they change is also appropriate.

Terms of Service shouldn't change often enough that this should ever be an issue.

Future of Job Market
String Theory Might Merge with Loop Quantum Gravity
Supply obviously decreases, but my point is that demand decreases so much that prices fall.
No one has mentioned it because, for the U.S. at least, it's not an actual advantage.

U.S. treasuries transact at a global volume of about $1 trillion per day. $100 billion is a lot of money, but not enough to create any significant leverage in negotiations with the U.S. federal government.

U.S. jobs and U.S. customers are far better leverage, because they vote. Cash doesn't vote, and the Federal Reserve can create as much of it as the U.S. needs at any time.

> By complaining that when you update nightly you have to update your code that uses unstable features

This isn't it. I feel like, when using unstable, that I've had to update packages that would not have needed updating were I using stable (and still would have worked fine). Maybe I just got a bad impression and switched away from nightlies around the time wider-demanded features started to stabilize.

> Again, it really sounds like your complaint is just that procedural macros aren't stable.

No, this really isn't it. I fully expect that code using unstable features is going to require changes when I update. I think the root of my gripe comes about from intermediate versioning being punted to "just run nightlies", meaning that rather than being able to reference older versions of packages that work with my compiler version, I'm effectively forced to upgrade and create breakage in my code right then.

> I'm sorry they've taken longer than you wanted to finish, but we have lots of work on our plate.

Please take whatever time is required to get them "right". And thank you in general.
Do you feel the same way about Goodwill?
You're likely hanging out with "the wrong people". In other words, you probably have existing relationships and connections with people that have grown in their douche-dom as SF has. There's still a lot of cool, quirky, and non-money focused people here.
The updates and the theme-hacking are what drove me to migrate from wordpress to a static generator a month ago. I still had to do some hacking to get my non-vanilla posts to display right, but generally I found it way easier to hack on the generator templates than to dig into wordpress's crazy innards.

(This might just be due to WP having generations of cruft though - for me the hard part was always figuring out which arcane PHP method I needed to hook, and how WP wanted me to hook it, in order to add something to this or that part of the page.)
I seriously can't wait for Oracle stock to crash so Google can just buy them outright. First order of business: Fire the legal department.
My computer is not always up, or connected to an open (even moderately) network. What's more, I sometimes have to delay for 2 days an update because it requires an update at the wrong time, if I didn't missed it... And that's without even speaking about the reliability of my internet connection - I don't want to try to reach even 3 9 on it.
So yes I have a computer at home, but it's not a properly managed server, and I don't want it to become one !
From the article, it seems Oracle is only claiming one billion in damages.
Yeah, the Cargo.lock file means that * constraints aren't a problem until you need to update a library, e.g. to get an emergency bug fix. And, you are right that cargo update's --precise option allows manually getting the same benefits of explicit requirements, but even doing this once seems like more work than just including the right version, especially with the risk of `update`ing wrong (although, again, Cargo.lock can save you here, if you're tracking it in version control). The combination of `cargo search` (built-in) and `cargo add` (external, others have linked it) makes it pretty easy to just add the right versions at the outset.

> I'd also note that while theoretically restricting versions works, in practice having multiple versions of a single crate within a rust project often leads to build failures due to crate A having a public API that uses types from crate B, and crate C using both, but not getting the same version of B that A got. This leads to type errors at build time.

This is a problem, yes, but focusing on it by itself is somewhat of a red-herring: if A doesn't restrict B's version there's no guarantee that A compiles against whatever version of B that happens to be chosen, i.e. you don't even get to the point where there could be problematic interactions.

In any case, there has been serious discussion about how cargo can solve the problem of crates exposing other crates in their API, and the current proposed solution is to make cargo more strict about allowing multiple versions of such crates. #2064 is the relevant issue.

Running a Business is a lot like Parenting
My career is as a physician in post acute care settings. From my experience one of the biggest, if not the biggest, issue regarding home care for seniors is the cost. The agencies near us are rather expensive for most seniors. It's covered by Medicaid for those who have it and some insurances provide benefits, but otherwise if you are a senior who needs care for several hours to 24 hours a day, you are typically paying about $20 an hour or $200 a day. Medicare does not cover it, and a lot of people cannot afford it. Which is why when we discharge people and make the recommendation for home care, and connect them with an agency, many patients and families do not follow through with it, beyond what their insurance may cover for a short period of time.
Mind you I realize this doesn't mean the caregiver gets paid anywhere near $20 an hour or $200 a day, so I applaud Honors intentions of making them full time workers with, I hope, benefits.
But the bigger issue is how do seniors pay for these services? It will probably require a change at the level of CMMS.
All I came up was pay for services instead of income for children.

Imagine the minimum income for children was diverted into services. So the government buys free clothes, school breakfasts+lunches, and medical insurance. This decreases the cost for a poor family to raise a child which allows you to give less money per child, and reduces the incentives for child farming.
I actually kinda wish I did tech support for my grandmother. She's a nurse and I occasionally call her for things. However, my father used to be a sysadmin and seems to have things set up such that she doesn't need help with anything.
Essentially this is exactly what we have with Redux and pure JS. Gaearon has led the way here:

- Redux as your single state tree/graph

- Normalizr to denormalize data and store it in a graph, including pulling nested resources out as records

- Reselect to query on your denormalized data

And the best thing is this is production ready, in JS, today.

I'm not necessarily saying it's illegal, or unethical. I just think it would be a bad idea. It looks like they have done decent work and have not accused players of cheating. But the issue is making international news, so I'm definitely assuming some named players are talking with lawyers about how to deal with this. And I personally would not want to deal with those lawyers, even if I had done nothing illegal or wrong.

Head off to G+ and look up Andreas Schou. He used to run a homeless shelter in Boise, Idaho. Kind of fell into the job, previous boss was incompetent. Or skimming. Or something else. But he was out and Andreas, just another volunteer, was in.

Looks cool, but at first glance (screenshots) it appears to lean heavily on a "git"-like model with branching and merging and rebasing. These are not concepts that I would expect a so-called "non-technical" market to understand or embrace. Something much simpler may be required for such people.
Some things that will help:

Nulroute via hosts reddit/youtube/etc. Maybe setup a cron job to do this automatically at fixed times.

Make it a habit to leave the house at least once a day. I used to approach this and think about it like taking myself out for a walk, just to get some natural sunshine and talk with other people in meatspace.

Start exercising. Get a copy of "Starting Strength" or just start "Couch to 5K" (a great free jogging program) or go on /fit/ and look for a simple workout routine. Do something to get your body moving...it helps with depression, anxiety, and just general relaxation.

Stack something on your desk to make it a standing desk. This can be helpful if you're worried about slouching over too much. You can be a ghetto as you want here; even a bunch of books is better than nothing.

Stock basic cooking ingredients. Make it super trivial to go from "I'm hungry" to "I'm cooking". It's not too hard to, for example, make healthy meals out of eggs and avocados or salads.
Over at MongoDB, Inc. atomic means nothing at all.
Oh, look, it does't actually matter. What matters is whether or not advertising on Facebook, or anywhere else, actually makes you more money. Instrument that, calculate bang/buck et voila.

It's super expensive -- IIRC, Lava Mae was quoting $1 million to convert one bus into a bathroom and run it for a year. That said, getting approvals in SF to build a permanent facility is non-trivial and expensive in its own right, and it would only serve homeless in the immediate area (one of the features of Lava Mae's approach is that they put the truck in different parts of the city on different days of the week).
Medium started out with Twitter sign in, which means their early users were all Twitter "influencers". The way I look at it, it's a blogging wrapper layer built around Twitter social graph. When you sign in with your Twitter account you automatically follow everyone you follow on Twitter on Medium.
They don't pay contributors in a Patreon- or tip4commit-style scheme; they employ certain core developers. If you are not a subsystem maintainer / lieutenant, you're not going to get a job offer from them. (And even if you are you shouldn't expect one.)
I am also type B and prefer statically typed languages and the compiler telling me as much as possible what's wrong with my code. I really hate finiding errors at runtime that should have easily been detected by my compiler.

I didn't finish the entire article, but my immediate thought was that this has something to do with these new phone drop spots that I've seen at grocery stores.

You apparently can just put a phone in one of these ATM-like machines and get money out, which immediately struck me as a clever way to buy stolen phones on the cheap from criminals, with indemnity... which would definitely lead to situations like this when those stolen phones are resold to unsuspecting consumers.

Half the time I see Medium posts, the other half I'll see something hosted with Jekyll + github pages. Which technically isn't Self Hosted, but still quite different from just writing in Medium or something of the sort.

However I suspect HackerNews readers are not the average, and I do think there's a down trend on self hosting blogs, versus using Medium/Wordpress/Tumblr or even Blogspot.

As someone who eats strictly keto (low-carb/high-fat), I actually have to make a concerted effort to get enough salt in my diet due to my naturally retaining less water than non-keto people.

This includes making somewhat high-salt food choices wherever reasonable — bacon, pickles, salted butter, cooking with salt in general, etc. — as well as actually adding a salt/electrolyte solution to the water I drink throughout each day. Not only is my blood pressure fine, my most recent blood test sodium levels are actually on the low end of normal (so I've been trying to bump up my salt intake even a bit higher).

Not sure if this says anything interesting about salt, except maybe that carbohydrates could be the real problem that got salt unfairly blamed.
