Depends how you're defining "fancy". I use ZFS because I don't want any drama, and it has delivered that (Linux md was more complicated to set up, to the extent that I lost data). But it's a mature, solid filesystem in a way that BTRFS isn't yet.

I don't and neither does Bram Cohen. Regardless, I agree with your overall notion. The times have changed and customers want a better solution to quality entertainment. Restricting access and content will lead to piracy. Vice-versa will lead to less overall piracy.
> > That's because most ancient societies were blatantly misogynistic.

> ...[This] implies that all women terribly oppressed, while all men had lives of unrelenting leisure. That's simply not true.

No. The preceding statement does not imply either of those things. At all.

Let's take patriarchal societies which also had male slavery of hard labor, since hard labor slavery is nearly the antithesis of a "life of unrelenting leisure". Do you think that US society in the 1700s was at all patriarchal or misogynistic? Yes? So then would you deny that US society had male slaves at that time, or claim somehow that being a slave then implied a "life of unrelenting leisure"? Does having slavery including male slavery somehow make a society non-misogynistic or non-patriarchal? Do you think perhaps these are different dimensions and you are making wholly faulty logical leaps?

Or, let's be less extreme. Would you say that US society in, say, the 1920s or 1950s was at all patriarchal? Would you then claim that in the US in either decade "all men had lives of unrelenting leisure?"

Your logic is unsound to the extreme. Your entire line of reasoning is specious at best and employs reduction to absurdity throughout. You make these stark, extreme claims and assertions (like the quoted text above) with no logic justifying them whatsoever. Are you simply making bombastic statements for the sake of controversy?
The fact that you use the "neoliberal" card on disagreeing opinions and resort to ad hominem attacks shows how deep you understanding of economics is.
From this part of the article, the team seems fairly confident in their ability to integrate the laser onto the same die as the waveguides. This seems very plausible to me, given how standard this integration is in communications applications (eg fiber optic transceivers)

I consider homoiconicity to fit into the "macros". Other languages have macros, but they are at maximal power in the Lisps.

On the one hand, it doesn't seem to me to be strictly necessary to be "homoiconic" for macros to work. On the other hand, it seems like non-homoiconic languages always end up mitigating the power somehow. Maybe it's just correlation rather than causation, but unless you're planning to write a new language that doesn't matter much in practice.

Is FTC cracking down on celebrity posts in general, or are they cracking down on companies which celebrities are self-employed in, and that sell advertisement?

Companies are made of people, and people have human rights. However, in order to have any market regulations at all, we need to limit what companies can say and do. As such we normally separate what people do in the name of a company, and what people do as a private citizen. For example, we expect police to speak and act in a specific way when acting as policemen, but they are completely free to write and say anything under the 1st Amendment when not on duty and representing the police force.

> Forced speech, such as labeling, is an infringement on free speech (ie. the right to be silent).

We already have plenty of restrictions on speech (the most well-known ones being slander and libel, but also plenty of regulations around speech that comes in the form of advertising specifically).

In this case, you still have two options:

a) make the post, but also reveal that it was paid for, or

b) don't make the post

It's not really forced speech when you still have two options, and one of them includes 'not saying anything'. It's also a pretty reasonable argument to make that making the paid post but not disclosing it is misleading, and there are already all sorts of laws restricting misleading speech in advertising.

Also, this only kicks in if the post is commercial - ie, if money changes hands. To give a "bright line" counterexample, it doesn't restrict celebrities from making posts about their favorite products if they have had no communication with the company at all.
> it restricts how you can access the machine in the name is spurious "safety".

Yet, you can also get around any of these things at any time.
I totally agree, simply because all tools have learning curves. It is one thing to learn a language, but it is another entirely to learn a language + debugger + profiler + static analyzer + IDE + build system + package manager + test framework + test runner, etc.. (Just typing this is giving me Node/javascript anxiety...)

Rust has done an amazing job packing almost all of that into rustc + cargo, and while there is a learning curve it is nothing like the learning curve necessary to produce code of similar quality in C/C++.

State worshipping and school/university indoctrination are very real things in Brazil, though.

The center-left that you mention is demonized as "neoliberals" by the extreme left here, so I'm not really sure what your point is about that.
Well, I do think Brazil has a serious problem with state worship and school indoctrination. I can't remember being exposed to any sort of liberal economics thinking when I was at school or in college. Many of my colleagues never really questioned the ideas they learned, and some of them deepened them during their college years. I don't think that pointing this out as a problem is dehumanizing nor authoritarian. For one, I'm completely against the "Escola sem Partido" project, because it is actually authoritarian and limits freedom of speech.

I do agree, though, that many people with right wing ideals dehumanize progressives, but those are more linked with the conservative and religious right than with libertarian or classical liberal ideals.

I consider myself a classical liberal and when exposing my views to left wing people have been called a fascist and many other adjectives that actually are dehumanizing and are the extreme opposite of what I believe in. I just don't care when people say that, because it just shows they don't have a clue of what my ideals are about and don't even care to listen.
It's an interesting one for sure. I wonder how it would apply to Hip Hop, for instance. Rapper has deal (money/product/whatever) with a brand and endorses them through song.

If you have any questions, please ask away! I am hoping for constructive feedback on this class idea (that's why it's a "Show HN").
It's hard to follow this author's arguments because so many of them are simply wrong and off base.

I've used Rust since 1.0 stable release, I have yet to write a piece of unsafe code.
Almost all of my code has run at speeds similar to C/C++. If something in Rust is slow, then it is a bug. Of which the Rust contributors are very good at getting rid of. The new MIR stuff will change a lot.

This guy also makes many blunt assumptions on what other programmers will do.
He says no sane programmer will write a webserver/service in Rust. Uhhh.. yes they will and do. When they need to benefits that the Rust lang comes with, they will/do already.

This guy clearly doesn't like Rust, which is fine. Most programmers have a language they really dislike that is popular. Nothing wrong with that.

As for "replacing" C/C++, no, in the near future it won't It may never. But the fact of the matter is old programmers will....grow older, retire and be gone. Young programmers just getting started in their career/education will look at the ecosystem of tools available to them and make their own choices on what to use. Which in turn has the potential to make C/C++ go the way of COBAL. Rust isn't the only language either. Many new languages will arise in the next few decades that will completely displace some of the most popular languages now. That's how it is. I frankly do no see C++ being used for new programs 20 years from now. Unless it is a new subset of C++ that does not resemble anything like C++ today...which for that matter...is a new language.

Sure, C/C++ programs will be around for at least a few decades. But will anyone new program in them? Highly doubtful. Rust is just one of the first displacing languages. And this is not a bad thing. We SHOULD rewrite many of the things that we heavily rely on. They have to evolve and not be tied down to something written decades past. System kernels will be re-written. Linux itself, eventually, will effectively be re-written. (Yes...it will take a while, may be something else, not called Linux...Redox perhaps?)

If it were up to this author, all language developers would only be working to make C++/C faster/safer.(The author calling C++ "safe" is laughable, he even counters his own argument elsewhere in the article about humans being the weak point. ) No. We have to reject that. Just as Henry Ford said, "If I asked people what they wanted, they would say 'faster horses'".
That would be me.

Many New York artists talk about NYC as if it was cheap but it is simply not true. There is no other place in the US that concentrates so many different types of people. Patti Smith, David Byrne etc all benefitted from there being billionaires, millionaires, celebrities, thespians, high profile doctors, lawyers, and more than a century of civic dedication to arts and culture. There is a shared communal love and support for creative things in NY. Like all cities that grow, gentrification happens. But if you think the LES or east village was cheap in the 80s it's because you were white and middle class. When this author speaks he's talking to white middle class liberal arts types (like me!) and bemoaning the fact that getting direct access to world class culture isn't "cheap anymore" when the reality is if you want that in NY now you move to crown heights. And there will be some myopic look back in 25 years saying the same shit about that place too.

Ask Patti Smith what happened to the Puerto Ricans who lived there before her. Was it too cheap for them?

Define "career success." I live 3+ hours out of LA. I work with scaling distributed back end systems. I make well into 6 figures (admittedly with a 1 in front). Bay area companies try to recruit me often enough but tend to not be able to afford me (and I really like where I work). I'm not trying to toot my own horn, and I may be in a minority; however I don't find myself "having" to move to a tech hub, and I feel successful thus far in my career. Tangentially, I avoid SF like prices: my mortgage in my mountain community is about $800/mo. Sorry to be pedantic, but the correction I'd make to your statement: one can likely incease their chances for career progression (or starting their career) by moving to a tech hub.
