I have always thought of a hypothetical where a police officer takes a stack of cash off of somebody under the name of civil forfeiture and then doesn't arrest. The victim them kills the police officer and claims self defense because he was the victim of an armed robbery. I can't say that I would find a fault in his argument.

Rust has a nice standard library, but much nice functionality comes from external crates. If you haven't yet, you should check out the Cargo tutorial[1], which is an intro to the package management and build system. I have used a JSON library, which worked well out of the box. I'm sure there are others up there for your other bullets.

I will say that all strings in Rust are Unicode, so the support is there.

Edit to your question about large projects: I think Rust's type system will prove to be a long-term benefit for large projects. The type system / borrow checker combination is the secret sauce of Rust.

[1] http://doc.crates.io/index.html
There is a very small amount of boilerplate. And I would argue strongly that it's a good thing; it indicates to the reader of the code that an object's behavior reads from some initialized value, or equivalently that its behavior depends on some initial value which remains fixed through the computation. The reader monad gives you a simple language to express this common pattern, as well as the ability to easily set the behavior.

-- This function will always return the same thing given the same input
function1 :: Int -> String

-- This function depends on reading some configuration which
-- needs to be provided upstream
function2 :: Int -> Reader Configuration String

You don't need to pass parameters explicitly in each signature; indeed this is exactly what the reader monad obviates: the details of what is being read are not expressed inside the function (until the point that they they are actually used). This is hardly an onerous burden, in my opinion. And if typing `Reader X Y` is too annoying, you can just make a type alias.
They're generally good and I like to use them to ship since they have keys to my building and can drop boxes in the lobby.

However a few weeks ago they marked a package "delivered" when it wasn't (I got a text saying it was delivered which was nice). It came a 2 days later marked 3 minutes after the delivery was due. I figured it was stolen but the shipper indicated that this happens frequently and they wouldn't consider it missing for a couple days.

A relative works for the postal service, its a good gig, good benefits etc.. but they have to realize that for packages at least, the competition is formidable.
As others have mentioned, you are completely wrong in your assumptions. It is you who shows zero clue in reading comprehension and communication. I'm well aware of the benchmarks used by industry and academia. I've been working in the industry for many years, including multiple ML-based products used commercially and running in production serving a large number of customers. Machine translation was just an example, and there was no assertion that company A is better than B; I was in no way "asserting it to be true". I was merely providing an illustrative example to highlight the fact that * popular press * articles about ml, such as this one, are quick with subjective opinion, without providing in writing the necessary citation and metrics to back their claims. Furthermore, they do so at a generalized level, without going into specific subdomains. My initial post was intended as a constructive comment, so take it as such.
To those that played and were not impressed with game/system stability: okay, okay. I wasn't there, I don't know.

...But, according to the nightly news, it was a tremendous success. The word 'ever' came up a lot.

PMG was the first successful overnight/viral planet-wide/client-side launch. People who had never heard of it saw it on the news and then visited their local app store in response.

And according to the googleblog, it took a tremendous expenditure of money, hardware, electricity, skills, and knowledge to pull it off.

Makes me wonder... Did some other game/app go almost global, but fall short for the want of those very resources described in the blog post?

Something for app devs to think about.

"String manipulation" is a bit broad, but Rust's string types are already pretty rich.

[1]: small caveat here: this crate works on stable, but is more convenient on nightly. (Think "right now it's "go generate" but eventually it will be easier than that). We're close to stabilizing the stuff that it needs to be convenient on stable, but the earliest that could land in stable is Dec 22. (I just did this math yesterday.)
People in places without functioning banking systems may also appreciate it.
I get this idea but the gains from this sort of "perfect drivers" scenario are pretty fuzzy.

Maybe the biggest gains for this concept would be on the highway, but in a city with pedestrians and cyclists, where there certainly does need to be stop lights, and much, much more cautious automated drivers, I'm skeptical the effect would be large.

The Rust stdlib is indeed quite a bit slimmer, largely by design AFAICT. String manipulation and Unicode sopport are very much there.

Gold and Platinum support can help with architectural analysis. I'm also guessing Google had a vested interest to help Pokemon Go do an analysis of their architecture. Doing so could help find any inefficiencies to lighten the load on their cloud servers.
> Yes, and I can tell you even though I spend every day working with extremely large scale systems I wouldn't have told them "you should expect 10x larger", yet alone 50x. Their initial estimates would still have been an very large launch.

The generic 1X, 5X and 50X are hard to understand in this context I think. Pokemon is so popular it's very difficult in imaging what the real numbers actually are. For instance on launch day in America and Asia I would have expected insane numbers (many hundreds of million).

I also feel like the 1X, 5X and 50X number placeholders are useless in this conversation because it doesn't give a sense of scale at all.
I definitely have to agree, but they're getting serious competition on that front now. The Surface Pro is very close in ppi to the rMBP. Vendors are asking for this to compete with Apple.
I'm sure you don't intend this, but this reads like you misunderstand the anxiety of many of us fundamentally: it's not rational. The fundamental hardship of anxiety for many of us is that we know that it's not rational, and can reason out why it shouldn't be causing such an extreme reaction, yet that doesn't remove the feeling where everything is closing in on you.

> not the 'company' that most people can relate to.

Putting a face to someone else who is struggling with the same issue is very helpful to a lot of us. And while I understand the point you are raising, I can't begrudge the author for not knowing someone I personally know to name here. If this were a profile of someone specific being used to highlight anxiety, then you'd have a point, but this is just a single sentence intended to offer faces familiar to the maximum number of readers.

This sounds like a specific anxiety related to your feelings of personal safety. This is absolutely something that triggers anxiety, but there are many, many other forms. For example, if you suffered from claustrophobia-related anxiety, Tokyo would not solve your issues at all.

Not sure if I'd agree that weakening of patent protection has made it infeasible. To my eye, technical risk startups are still very defensible, it's just that the early technical advantage needs to grow into a branding or data advantage that is more defensible long-term. And I'd say the reason for this is a combination of more people getting into tech startups and consumers being conditioned to accept less. Flashy couldn't-be-done-before technology makes customers stand up and take notice, but pretty soon they start focusing on the parts that are really useful in their daily lives, and chances are there exist 80/20 solutions that get most of the way there but can be implemented by any one of a number of competitors.

I still think that technology risk tends to be underpriced by VCs today. The pendulum's swung too far, where everyone assumes that the tech is just a commodity and what really matters is how many Facebook ads you buy, and that's left several openings where consumers are not consuming because existing solutions suck too much.
> But rust's standard library isn't as mature as that of go.

I'm not really sure that's true. Rust probably has a smaller standard library overall, but there are things that it has that Go doesn't: B-trees, native OS string encodings, functional tools, round(), etc.

The bigger point is that the crates.io ecosystem readily has support for everything you're asking for, and it's much easier to pull in third-party dependencies in Rust.

True, that would be an extra bonus if Heroku started allowing replication to non Heroku instances, but as long as they support logical replication to a Heroku Follower instance then you can upgrade to new major versions with near zero downtime - set up logical follower running latest postgres version and then promote to master once it has caught up. Currently you can't have a follower that is a different version to master - meaning an upgrade requires either a full backup and restore to new version resulting in significant downtime if you have a large database or using the pg_upgrade utility which is generally not recommended as it is not guaranteed to work.

Uber is selling unorganized, uninsured, unchecked drivers. I believe no legal taxi company can do that since they're liable would anything happen to you. If Uber had to form, insure, optimize, thus manage, they'd require additional workforce, time, costs, and wouldn't give it to you for free.

The customer interface is (was? I don't know if taxi companies competes on the app side) way above and that's the value here. Better information and information model, almost no idle time.

"The way they treat you in jail is malicious and purposely antagonistic. It's a mild form of torture that doesn't rise to sensational levels but it perpetuates and sustains an atmosphere of distrust and hatred towards authority figures."

I was taken into jail (a holding cell in a county prison) for failing to pay a fine for a non-moving violation, and sat next to murderers, wife beaters and cop-killers awaiting transfer.

When I asked for a method to remove my contacts which were causing me significant pain and discomfort (they are NOT over nights), I was told "deal with it, this is jail".

Purposely antagonistic and mildly torturous is definitely their intent.

But I don't blame them, based on whom I was surrounded by. I wouldn't give an inch to the guys laughing and joking about beating up their girlfriends, her kids, the cops, etc, either.

> Whether it's a stolen car, drugs, or money made from selling a stolen car and drugs. It's all (mostly) similar.

It's not that similar IMO. Stolen cars have owners to whom you can return the property, or litigants who can sue you to replace it. But selling contraband, unlike theft, doesn't have a victim that can be compensated by returning the proceeds. The government steps in and declares themselves the victims of this crime and claims the proceeds.

No one cares if you're a non-golfer. Atheists in quite a lot of the country (and the world, for that matter), are a notable minority group. "Persecution" implies a bit more gravity that I'd aim for in describing it, but certainly there's enough of a cultural "thing" about it that it should no longer surprise anyone that atheists might want to congregate together and talk about it.

Nice contribution!

Author here. Thanks for reading and for sharing this analogy—it very aptly captures the sentiment. Thanks for that.

I just wanted to say that not only was this post extremely difficult to write, but I really hesitated to publish it. When we start talking about privilege or lack-thereof, the conversation generally veers towards comparisons, which is only natural. If you grew up more fortunate than someone else, you say, "Wow, I can't imagine what that must have been like," whereas if you grew up less so: "I grew up with less than this guy or this girl and I'm not complaining" or whatnot. While that's a natural first instinct, I think we can, and must, move beyond that, to have real discussions.

I definitely had more opportunities and grew up in much more fortunate circumstances than many people. As some people have pointed out, just being born in America and having a mostly stable home was very fortunate. Just because I grew up poor, I don't claim to know or understand your circumstances, unique set of challenges, or anything about growing up as an orphan in middle America, a black kid in Compton in a broken home, or a refugee fleeing a war-torn country. But we shouldn't be comparing the sharpness of spikes or depths of the abyss below us— we should be focused on getting as many kids across as we can, and providing safety nets to as many as possible. Talking about these things is hard, but I think it's a good start.

Yeah. Ingress solved this problem by only having the equivalent of Pokemon Gyms and not spawning anything at random locations, so they could fully curate where they were directing users too - and even then it required a certain amount of common sense and local knowledge from players.

The method could be circumvented using Xposed + Magisk modules on android (I believe iOS had a method as well).

However this is all irrelevant considering they spent a month or two deciding to ban these devices and it only took 3 weeks for new scanner apps to pop up that potentially will never be brought down [1] the owner claims they will never be taken down now in his posts which makes me wonder if he is balance loading thousands of accounts to prevent Niantic from banning his application from working - which really it was bound to happen eventually just needed the time for some to write out the necessary code and figure out a quick way to authorize and potentially keep creating accounts.

In all honesty I believe the ban on rooted/jailbroken devices was really to remove people who were not contributing as much money to the game. In my experience a rooted device usually signifies the user wants to pay less for/in apps.

Of course many users need rooting for backing up, tweaking the interface for better performance, but in the end most rooted users did this method to install hacked apps or circumvent some restriction that they would normally have to pay for (such as wifi tethering).

It is silly and I am more then just frustrated that I had to spend hours getting Magisk installed to keep playing but in the end they are a business and the main focus is making money.

[1] https://fastpokemap.se/

edit Apologies I must have read over you mentioning the Magisk method!

edit2 also I have a lot of friends who bought phone's pre-rooted so it goes to say it's not really a smart maneuver on Niantics part to just assume people are rooting devices purposely.

Good catch, but what you're saying is at least what I was trying to convey. Still doing it like this would mean two potentially larger index lookups plus calculating the intersection between them rather than satisfying the filter from one index alone - for fetching the rows, it will be equivalent from there on of course. Still, I may have overstated the cost - I admit didn't even try separate indices in this case.

This is a terrible assumption. The deal being offered is Manhattan -> Manhattan, and only below 125th street. That's a population of ~1m people[0], which doesn't even factor in age demographics. There are 1.6m commuters into manhattan each day and only 225k cars registered in manhattan[1]. Only 30% of employees in manhattan live in manhattan[2]. Basically, the share of people using uberpool will almost exclusively come from pre-existing public transportation.
