Your first sentence is similar to saying that if the Mafia moves into your neighborhood and starts demanding protection money, then you consent to their abuses because you continue to live in your home. That's intimidation, not consent.

There are plenty of alternatives to living under a monopoly of violence (a state). Anarchy means "no ruler". Thus, by definition it doesn't tell people how to live. There is no central "plan", dictated from on high, though that doesn't mean there are no rules. The premise is that individuals should be permitted to organize themselves, to experiment and make room for diverse forms of society. Another term for this is polycentric law.

How to implement? A great start would be to make taxation voluntary by cutting them from the top down. Allow people to not pay for the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, government compulsory education, corporate welfare, or the numerous other unethical, irrational failed policies forced upon the population. The state is not needed for society to function -- in fact, I'd argue it's a parasitic hindrance that's convinced its host of its legitimacy and necessity.

Since anarchist philosophy can't exactly be boiled down into a single HN comment, I'd suggest reading Kevin Carson, David Graeber, Stefan Molyneaux, Noam Chomsky, Proudhon, Bakunin, and other well known anarchists if you're serious about learning more.

Wow, that wasn't something I expected to see stated in wikipedia, but there it is ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_bat ):

> Aesthetically, wooden bats are generally preferred to metal, both for their traditional appearance and satisfying traditional "crack", far superior to alloy bats' hollow "ping".

That seems to fall a bit short of "neutral point of view".

Once again: we are not talking about the brokenness of C, but about whether rewriting billions of lines of legacy code whenever a safer language comes along because surely it contains bugs is the most economically sensible way to improve software quality.

I am not talking about providing all the benefits a rewrite would, but I am suggesting something that would be orders of magnitude less expensive, and still very effective (and may actually have some benefits that a rewrite won't), with the net result of being an overall more effective strategy (and I am not talking about runtime tools but about whitebox fuzzing, concolic testing and static analysis tools).

But you don't need to. We are talking about rewriting internal code that no one intends to touch, not about improving APIs.

Sure, so wrap C code with Rust. That's a whole other matter than rewriting it.
> I've never heard of or been part of any organization (academic, non-profit, corporate, open source, etc.) that respects the basic need of developers for uninterruptible concentration.

What do you think is the cause of that? Could it be because organizations aren't led by people who've experienced this problem themselves? Or do they just fail to prioritize it?

Certainly there's a need for quiet periods. There's also a need for periods of communication. Could it be as simple as dividing the day further, where X hours are reserved for no-communication time? Or, providing a separate no-interruption room for those who want to use it? Or is it just a matter of building trust with colleagues, as you say?

Perhaps voice these sentiments within your company. If nobody says anything, how will they know?
You know, sometimes i get slightly eye-rolly at the tone of Julia's articles, but fuck, this sort of attitude in programming is so much better than the alternative (i.e. lkml).

Cyclone is pretty different from C. It has parametric polymorphism, type inference, built-in support for region allocation, sum types (both open and closed) and pattern matching... and sadly also an unsightly surface syntax.
I’ve found that binding C++ to a scripting language makes a lot of sense when dealing with safety issues (and other problems).

While I have worked on plenty of C++ projects that had sections with performance-critical code or frequently-allocated data structures that need careful control over memory, I have never seen an entire program in this category. For that matter, I probably haven’t seen one with more than 40-50% of the C++ code in this category. Invariably, you start to see people write painful code to do trivial-things-that-are-not-trivial-in-C++, intermixed with the things that might actually benefit from C++.

You can offload a lot of less-critical C++ code, forcing it into a higher-level programming environment where fewer things can go wrong, in a language that is accessible to more programmers.
Say yes to Soviet-style apartments in Manhattan!
The other day I thought "I'm finally gonna dive deep into C++, and I'm going to start out right, with a mindset toward modern C++ and statically forbidding memory errors, etc."

First thing I did was write up a test program that looks something like this, to see what errors I would get:

int x = 42;
int* px = &x;
px++;
*px = 12;

Compiled on GCC with -Wall. No warnings. I thought for sure some warning must prevent pointer arithmetic. After asking around I guess what I did above wasn't really pointer arithmetic, at least not in the compiler's eyes, so it's not warned against.
Ask HN: Is part time product worth developing?
He claims he coached 'skilled journeymen' programmers.

The 'master - journeyman-apprentice' pyramid jargon is part of the 'software craftsman' movement. In this structure, 'masters' train 'journeymen' who serve an 'appreniceship' and help them breakthrough into 'mastery. Lots of jargon from the old guild structures.

So Kent is implicitly (imo) claiming to be a 'master'. At the least he is claiming to better than "talented journeymen" engineers at FaceBook.

That said, I grant you he may be using the words without that implication. Not likely, but possible.

Whatever. All these agile/methodology guru types like to pass themselves off as skilled programmers without any supporting evidence and should be (imo) ignored totally when they pontificate about how others should program etc

YMMV. That's fine. Peace. Out.

why not have a separate command rather than shell aliases?
i.e.

$ tagopen e4 # uses .tag-locations to open $EDITOR

you still have scary global state, but at least it's limited to the `tag/opentag` command.
Plus, you can do `tagopen` without arguments and show a menu :)
You don't actually have to use iCloud for what I described. I mentioned iCloud Drive because it's built in to iOS and OS X, but any app can register as a document provider, which allows it to be accessed from document pickers (what I meant when I said "can open files directly from iCloud Drive" - it's not only for iCloud Drive) and to be an icon on share sheets. For example, Dropbox does so. This is an iOS 8 feature, for the record; it's just the iCloud Drive standalone app that was new in iOS 9.

You do have to use iCloud for some other things, such as full system backup, integration with the builtin photos app, etc.
I look in src/ but nothing says SoundCloud client to me. I recognise the structure of this app as following current conventions but the logic is scattered by concerns I don't care about - e.g. I don't need a package called constants, I know what a constant looks like.

It becomes ever more bizarre to me how resistant to increasing population density some people are the more time I spend in cities with comparatively high population density. Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo etc.

Do you want to not have the expense of purchasing and maintaining a vehicle?

You need a few other ingredients of course but population density is a prerequisite for so many wonderful things.

As an aside, if you have never lived in an apartment building that has a supermarket or at least a convenience store actually in the building you are missing out on an amazing level of convenience.

I would question if 100% memory safety is a goal worth achieving in itself. Everything comes with a price. At some point, making memory management more safe starts to come with some trade offs, performance, code flexibility and others. Sometimes "good enough" is actually good enough.

Why C++ will probably not be changed by other languages is the freedom it provides. It is a language equivalent of giving you absolute power of everything, including digging a massive hole, falling into it and not being able to crawl back out.

Yes, Rust is safer in and of itself, and "encourages" safety, but it is also like riding a bike with a safety wheels and cushions strapped everywhere. At some point it will start just getting in your way more than helping you.

In the end it boils down to purity and elegance vs. efficiency and practicality. And I'm bigger fan of efficiency and practicality than purity and elegance.

The movie is based on the books. There are a ton of Warcraft books - I haven't read them but after seeing the movie I might.

22% on RT is ridiculous. I bet that goes up a lot over time. This story of good/evil people, where each group has good and evil people within it, along with good and evil magic is as good as star wars in my opinion, just in 2016-level graphics instead. It's another lesson that races, religion, etc. don't define whether people are good or not.

Can someone explain how searching files is "embarrassingly parallel"? I imagine storage drive to be sequential, the reading head can only be in one place at the time. For SSDs, this may be different, that I don't know. Does this speed up only apply to SSDs? Or is the I/O not the bottleneck here and instead the project benefits from the searching of memory cached files being somehow well parallelizable (memory still seems basically sequential, but is much faster, maybe fast enough to make this problem overwhelmingly CPU-bound?)
Academia is about theory that is correct (and therefore potentially useful). There is a huge potential conflict of interest whenever you use a commercial stack in your research, for the providers of the stack are not really interested in providing error-free robust products. Lingering errors in Mathematica are well-documented, for instance, and all they do about them is to put up smokescreens. Does one need to wait for a huge scandal for the change of attitude here?
I would be very surprised if there weren't any bots that "short stacked" in that time span. Not sophisticated bots coming up with amazing strategies but rather bots designed for automating a mundane task.

Making Sense of it All // ContainerSched 2016 keynote talk
How does providing N examples of failed attempts at improving C safety have any relevance to C++ safety?

Have you seen Sutter's video where he presented the static analysis that the Visual C++ team was working on? The whole point is that with some additional code changes (especially around pointer usage) one WOULD detect errors at compile-time.

When and if this static analysis will be released remains to be seen, but this blog post sounds petty.
But which scripting language? C++ header are fairly hostile interfaces for wrapping. You end up with either tons of hand-written glue code or littering your header files with annotations so they can be sorta wrapped.

Python is not very good as an embedded language (globals and locks). Lua is OK but AFAIK making C++-like classes in Lua is a pain, and the language is a bit annoying for other reasons.

> It's always particularly frustrating to Google for some weird error message and find a Stack Overflow discussion which has been killed off because the question was inappropriate :)

I'm a bit torn on those, tbh. The answer to those types of questions (and many other low quality questions) are typically in a blog post or in the docs a couple of positions further down in Google search results. At the very least the latter will provide a few interesting leads and hints on what's wrong.

A user who asks such a question on SO directly, without as much as a reference to the latter, is basically sending the message that they can't be bothered to do their own research or thinking, and are de facto abusing the time of those who do. But they'll never learn the problem-solving skills that are so critical to being a good engineer.

Sure, a good samaritan could do the work, figure it out, learn something new in the process, and answer. Maybe they'll even answer it another few times for the feel-good factor. But at some point they'll get bored or irritated, and therein lies the rub.

(One could of course argue that some engineers lack the curiosity and the basic problem-solving abilities that are necessary to be a good engineer. But that is another problem altogether.)
To clarify, Lysander Spooner was an abolitionist. There's a delightful twist to his argumentation, so don't write him off as merely a racist confederate by the parent's selective regurgitation of eight grade public education history.

And the Federalist Papers are a rather dry rehash of the Divine Right of Kings, dressed up in the language of protecting individual rights in order to dupe a newly freed people into accepting a new, better-disguised oligarchy. In my opinion, the philosophy of the U.S. Constitution is much better discussed in Spooner's "No Treason".

As for "Failed State", see every government in the history of mankind. Further note the parent's blatant misunderstanding of anarchy by labeling it a state. Anarchy is alive and well today, and always will be so long as free people organize themselves.

1. We are not talking about code that is under heavy development. I specifically said that rewriting code may be sensible if you intend to make big changes.

2. Obviously, verification tools (and I'm not just talking about static analysis, but also whitebox fuzzing and concolic testing) do have their downside. The question is not which approach yields the best overall result, but which is more economically sensible given the goal.

> it would be nice to see one or two representatives of each thing in rust

Absolutely, as long as it's done while analyzing the cost vs. benefit. What isn't so nice is to have the software industry waste precious efforts rewriting instead of developing new software, without analyzing where a rewrite would yield the most benefit. Obviously, anyone is free to choose what they want to spend their time on, but I think that as an industry we should at least encourage projects with higher impact first.

So increased smartphone usage may be impairing our reflective abilities, but to play devil's advocate, what is it imparting instead which is beneficial?

That may very well result in better thoughts, particularly for people who never had very complex ideas in the first place.

From Majoritarianism [1], quoting anarchist anthropologist David Graeber:

> "Majority democracy, we might say, can only emerge when two factors coincide: 1. a feeling that people should have equal say in making group decisions, and 2. a coercive apparatus capable of enforcing those decisions." Graeber argues that those two factors almost never meet: "Where egalitarian societies exist, it is also usually considered wrong to impose systematic coercion. Where a machinery of coercion did exist, it did not even occur to those wielding it that they were enforcing any sort of popular will."
