I was a WebObjects developer back in the early 2000s. It was great for it's time. It's architecture is really quite similar to Rails, I've often wondered if dhh was exposed to it, or came up with Rails architecture separately from shared influences.
Just how naively was the Python written? ~1600 hours vs. 4 hours of execution time sounds like some extremely naive starting code. Is it fair to even compare them?

Two main reasons:

1. You can detect very common errors (e.g. typos) at compile-time instead of maybe detecting them at run-time. This makes the code much much more reliable (or equivalently you don't need to do nearly as much testing).

2. Dynamic typing prevents IDEs from doing extremely useful things like real code completion and symbol renaming.

If you're thinking "but I edit Javascript with code completion" or "code completion isn't such a big deal" then it's probably because you've never used accurate code completion, e.g. Microsoft's Intellisense for C++, or pretty much an Java IDE.

Rust's support for cross compilation, both in the compiler and the tooling (cargo, multirust/rustup) is amazing. Last week I was working on a hardened system project. It involved building a system consisting of just a kernel and a single process. At first I was going to target a unikernel, so I pulled the "x86_64-rumprun-netbsd" target, read some docs on rumprun, and in about 30 minutes I had a Rust project running as a unikernel, all well supported by Rust and its tooling.

For various reasons I had to drop the unikernel and switch to Linux combined with the program (I set the program as init, so Linux boots, runs the program, and that's that). That was super easy as well. I grabbed "x86_64-unknown-linux-musl", and the Rust program runs like a champ as the init process on this Linux "system" with no libraries to speak of.

I'm also immensely happy that I added the .cargo/config "target" option to Cargo's code. "cargo build" is much nicer than "cargo build --target=name_of_the_target_which_I_will_never_remember_x86". Cargo's code was fairly simple to dive into, and Rust's team has made the contribution process smooth and bulletproof (thanks to all their Github bots and unit/integration tests). I think that pull request was resolved in about a week (mostly due to waiting for the team to meet and confirm that they wanted to add that flag to the config file).
Just that now, the CDM piece ships by default in Chrome, Safari, IE/Edge and is automatically downloaded on demand on Firefox. They're probably fine with ignoring the existence of any other browser.

Interesting, I must have been using it just a year or two after you -- by the time I was using it (in Java), I don't even remember if the Java was still just a bridge to ObjC or not (at some point I think they rewrote the core in Java?), but there were no problems with buggy bridge to ObjC components, it worked fine. There were sometimes frustrations with the architecture, but buggy ObjC bridge wasn't one of them. (the statefulness of the architecture wasn't a good fit for the web as it was then; although interestingly was a similar approach to what React does, but actually exposed in public URLs, which was kind of disastrous).

They got really screwed by their first banking partner. This is when having a good lawyer would have helped.

The correct course of action would have been to politely tell the bank that they would not free the bank from their duties under the contract but would welcome any new introductions. Under their duty to limit their damages, the startup would do everything possible to find a new bank partner, and if they did the original bank partner would be free from their obligations without paying any damages.

This way you get the bank to help you but still be liable under the contract if things do not work out.

Of course nothing here is legal advice, every situation is different, so do consult a lawyer for your own situation.

I tried Slash and it's got some neat features, but I could never quite make the switch. I think a lot of my frustration with most third party keyboards is the autocorrect. The native iOS keyboard is kind of scary good at deciphering the shit I managed to punch in, and it seems like Gboard is just as good if not better (someone earlier said "implausibly good").

Every other keyboard I've tried I've started hating pretty immediately. Maybe it's Google's RDF at work, or maybe they just figured out how to leverage iOS autocorrect/suggestions a little better. Either way, I'm hooked.

And yes, I know that "good autocorrect" being my biggest complaint, maybe I could type more accurately. But honestly isn't this the point of AI?

I've thought similar things - Coda hasn't kept up with my progression as a developer - but after speaking to our designer at work I'm not convinced they have a problem. Coda is not for people who do full-time software engineering - it's much more targeted at designers, people who are iterating rapidly, possibly for clients, and for whom FTP is a perfectly reasonable deployment mechanism.

Unison is niche, but the only good piece of software in its category as far as I'm aware.

And Transmit is one of the best pieces of software I've used. I unfortunately have no use for it, but many people do.

Finally, I'm pretty sure that Firewatch did ok, so I'm sure that's some funding for them too.

I think Panic are in for the long haul. They're never going to be 'huge', but I think they're going to be financially successful for years to come.

Not sure what you mean by that.

I still think that you are not really thinking about how many non-language pain points go takes care of. You don't really worry about a library being the wrong version, you need extremely little special training for a new developer to start on a go code base (compared to FP which requires a paradigm shift for most people), the people that have to setup the servers generally appreciate something that only requires a static binary to be dropped on the server and executed. Almost none of the things that make go great are actually related to programming languages, where as some of the best things about scala are all of the elegant ways you can express computation.

Great to see all this progress :) . I have three questions about Rust static binaries on Linux through musl, and how they compare to Golang static binaries:

1. At low level (binary format, system calls), is a Rust static (through musl) binary "as static as" an equivalent Golang binary?

2. The article says "for technical reasons, glibc cannot be fully statically linked" . Did this apply to Golang too? Is Golang using musl too on Linux? If no, why not / what is their strategy/tooling to produce static binaries?

2. From my own biased observation/reading of Golang writings and usage of Golang binaries, I feel static-by-default is hugely appreciated, for the portability. Did Rust consider it?

I see, thanks for the distinction.
Because it's rarely in someone's self-interest to give honest feedback, which is true for investors, potential employers, departing employees, and almost anyone else in a position to issue some type of denial. Instead, they part with something ambiguous, non-committal, and ideally flattering because it covers their butts and allows them to backpedal if necessary. Since the stated reason for declining the relationship is airy, you can't really get in a shouting match over it if the applicant/founder/whatever disagrees, and you don't offend them and preclude the possibility of future engagement.

Politically and socially, it's almost always best to speak in platitudes, be ambiguous and non-committal, and refuse to give concrete information or rationale that could be used in the future to show that you were wrong about something. People usually do have a specific objection when they're turning down a request, but they just know that it doesn't help them to tell it to you, which is why it's always wise to cherish those who care enough about you to be honest.
Absolutely, the not too distant future is going to be interesting one way or the other, it is too late to change the inevitability of demographics and the subsequent bubble they've produced. Of course the truth will get you down votes on hacker news

Here's just a few examples of listings with mostly fake reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DN9UKHC

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D0JDZFO

Most top listings are saturated with fake reviews. If you want to understand the depth of the fake listing problem, look at the thousands of people trying to create new listings in high-competition markets. Search Amazon for:

"silicone oven mitts"
"bamboo cutting board"
"meal prep container"

Click any result, then scroll down to the "Sponsored Products" section for that item. Repeat this, really dig down into the "sponsored" lists. Notice the amount of copiers.

Now look at the reviews. For new sponsored products in these categories virtually all of the entries are from review-mill programs. There can be hundreds of fake reviews on a single listing. Many of the negative reviews you may see on these are fake as well, from competitors!

Review-mill programs work by having the reviewers buy the product through amazon (they are reimbursed or discounted). Then they do a write ups. Many are short and organic looking, the more easily spotted ones contain lots of text and multiple photos of the product.

Object Storage versus Block Storage: Understanding the Technology Differences: http://www.druva.com/blog/object-storage-versus-block-storag...

The authors really know their stuff. They spent that "just a day" writing down what they wanted to say. I spent two full days editing it for readability, querying them about technical details ("I'm not sure what you meant when you said... Could you clarify this point?"), and ultimately making them incredibly proud of the result. (Which was very popular in terms of pageviews, because it's good and useful data.) It still was their voice and their expertise; I was there to help them get the message across.

As I understand it, uncooled commercial IR cameras aren't photodetector-based: their sensors are actually heat-sensitive and rely on heating from IR to produce an image. This limits sensitivity and resolution and increases noise.

Higher-quality IR imaging equipment is photodetector based (as in, they operate on the photoelectric effect); these require very low temperatures to operate and need the sort of active cooling the author refers to.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermographic_camera , which goes into detail on the different technologies involved.

I do recommend using rustup to all Rust developers now, despite still having reservations about its done-ness, and not being ready to commit to putting it on the main website (I guess that's something of a contradiction).

This blog post marks the beginning of the phase where we will seriously try not to break things on upgrade - I consider it 'in production' now.

Even now I think it provides the best installation experience and I have much higher confidence in its reliability than the older multirust shell script.

That said, if you are on Windows you might want to be more cautious. Just this week I broke rustup's networking on Windows, and there are periodic reports of intermittent self update failures (though these don't cause data corruption).
The problem with this is that it's really hard to get a user to click a button they don't have to. Additionally, many people already give low weight to reviews that are strictly 5 star ratings, so encouraging more of them probably won't help people determine how good a product really is.
I understand the trading game aspect and the recruiting aspect... but then why is it called 'Starfighter'? That name doesn't seem to be related to either and makes the think there's some third aspect I don't know about.
I believe languages with heavier runtimes would need to compile those runtimes to wasm as well, which could include a GC. Needless to say, languages like C++ and Rust will have an advantage here.
When I was little, my parents told me to always tip 10%. When I grew up, my peers told me that 15% was the right amount. These days, the servers tell me that anything less than 20% is an insult.

Strange. Yubico's dainnilsson is usually quite forthcoming with responses to questions, but his final response in that GitHub thread worries me (he seems harrowed). I am genuinely curious what reason there could be not to open-source the code. I am not expecting any trade secrets in there; any competitor's biggest challenge by far is getting the hardware right and getting an assembly line going.

On the other hand, keeping the code closed does garner a lot of distrust.

Good question! This is the whole point of parsing sentences to deduce semantic meaning.

He bent the fork and He could fork the Github repository

Remember the deductive reasoning puzzles when you were a kid? [0]There are some facts in these sentences and let's use some deductive reasoning to figure it out.

He followed by bent means that He has to be the subject and bent has to be the main verb of the sentence. The the following has to belong to fork. It is never not that way with grammar. I can go a lot deeper here but I'm going to keep this short. We can train any machine to deduce that fork has to be a noun and that it is a direct object of the verb bent. Fork means one thing in this sentence. It is a tool to eat with.

The modal could in the second sentence requires grammatically to have a verb following it. It not so much guessing what can fork mean, an action or an eating utensil, but rather, what is its function? He has to be a subject. If it was on the other side of the verb, it would be him. Because of the the, the Github repository has to be a noun phrase. By deduction fork has to be a verb. Therefore fork is an action of dividing into another part. Like I said before we can go deeper, for example, the capital G in Github means it is a proper noun so it can't function as a verb and the verb takes an object. Whether a verb takes an object or not can give semantic meaning to the verb too.

This is an example of how the existence of the in a phrase allows machines to deduce meanings of the same word in different sentence.

> Although, I'd say we as a society have the opportunity to live relatively scarcity-free in the not too distance future (enough food, energy, clothing, shelter for everyone)

For centuries its been true that every generation has had the resources to live "relatively scarcity-free" in terms of having the resources to provide enough food, energy, clothing, and shelter for everyone, based on the standards of a time in the not too distant (from the point under consideration) past.

The problem has always been:

(1) Resource distribution,

(2) Standards moving forward over time.

I don't see much prospect of that changing in the not too distant future.
It might not apply to you, but in my experience, people that ask questions that would faster be answered by google never actually learn the topic they're asking about. I think 90% of my knowledge was stumbled upon while looking for the answer to something else.
