+1 "construct increasingly convoluted notions..." to rationalize or support anything is a huge red flag in this case and, imo, life in general. Understanding the tax system requires trudging through increasingly obscure rules? It's probably a broken, inefficient system. Health care billing system rules are convoluted, vague, and complex? Yeah, it's probably pretty broken. Need a convoluted, complex explanation to rationalize your support for Peter Thiel despite his endorsement of certain political figures? Again, a huge red flag.
A really amazing (and not likely to happen) photo story would be "how Canon make all their world class L lenses".

This story, while interesting, was just a matter of.. yes.. it's manual, they are all wearing white robes, they are likely really skilled at what they do.. and that's it.

Canon L lenses though, that's kinda magic. At least until said photo story is posted, I guess.

Getting to see the complete manufacturing process (including glass grinding, etc) for e.g. the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM would be awesome.

Or why not the "Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM"? ($12,999)

> You can believe that both are bad, while also saying that one of the two is much, much worse to the point that the comparison is unjust.

Your argument comes across that advocating genocide isn't really that bad, because they don't really intend to do it, and anyways, the Holocaust was worse.

I find that entirely unconvincing. Morally bankrupt may be a better description.
Reminds of the strategies freemium devs employ where they do their best to snare "whales" who are players who will causally drop thousands of dollars on various in-game powerups and skins. There was a report a few months ago claiming these players are responsible for 70% of an app's revenue!

I imagine its similar for casinos, so they have no real incentive to actually stop addiction as addicts are their revenue generating "whales."
Of all the invectives to level at Rust, "toxic development community" would be the least applicable. Frankly, I've found the Rust community super welcoming and willing to answer questions from a newbie.

As for the rest of your points - I don't think they're applicable as well. I've found Rust to be super solid and the ecosystem a pleasure to work with. Could you give examples to support your claim?

The electoral college had literally nothing to do with slavery, and everything to do with balancing population-based governance and state-based governance (i.e. the reason we have both a House and Senate).

The 3/5 compromise was used to calculate the population-based component of governance, and at any rate, is no longer used so completely irrelevant today.

> All luddism...

All luddism to date. The article and GP are predicting something new -- a generally anti-technology sentiment.

The post I replied to stated that such a sentiment is already here.

I don't think opposition to Uber or AirBnB demonstrates the sort of general anti-technology or anti-innovation sentiment predicted by the article.

It may very well be the case that this general sentiment arises out of a large confederation of people who have become obsolete for various reasons, who become generally anti-technology due to particular technologies ruining their lives. In fact, I grant you that this is the most probable scenario.

But that sort of confederation doesn't exist in today's world, and there's plenty of opposition to Uber/AirBnB that is not motivated by luddism. Lazy Marathi auto drivers may oppose Uber, but they aren't the only critics. In fact, it's not even clear to me that taxi drivers are the most populous critics of Uber.
Good luck with getting GPS then.

I know with previous versions of .NET you could, using MSBUILD. That's how we actually built things on the CI server.

I wouldn't want to have to do things that way though.

He wrote a rap song as part of his job intended for "Youth Across America." He was asked once if he would perform the song at a company dinner and he declined. His decline was accepted without question and was not brought up again.

I can certainly understand why the request could be interpreted as racist, but from my perspective that seems to be a bit of a strong interpretation to take.
I make it a strong point to keep my personal politics outside of Rust; there's actually many people who work within Rust and its community that I would fight bitterly with about politics, but we instead focus on the technology and work together in a productive manner.

Mozilla isn't using Rust as an excuse to skimp on security elsewhere. For example, Servo sandboxes tabs as you'd expect from a modern browser, despite being written in Rust from day one. Defense-in-depth is fundamental to good security, and being able to rely on the safety properties of your language adds yet another layer of defense.

The name of the game for the software industry is to continually create better tools that systematically, inexorably reduce the attack surface of apps built with them.

Haskell does this in an interesting way by quarantining all side-effect code into Monads and preventing data races with immutability. Rust does it by making memory errors and race conditions impossible via its ownership mechanism.

Think of it as guiderails that reduce the cognitive load on the programmer by ensuring some classes of mistakes/errors/bugs simply cannot get past the compiler. Compared to C/C++, the programmer has less to think about since the compiler handles that for them. That is immensely valuable.

The thought has crossed my mind, since everyone from then is long dead now. It reminds me of the cache of Civil War letters recently discovered and discussed here.

I have a lot of other things I recognize have some historical value, like my father's WW2 diary, and some amazing color pictures he took during the Korean War. (Any other pictures of the KW I've seen are grainy black & white, but my dad's pictures are in crisp, full color.)

.NET binaries can export COM components (just as C/C++ and other languages may), but are not COM components by themselves.

There is some confusion here because the part of the "export surface" design for .NET binaries/modules was originally designed to replace COM's "interface design language" (IDL) in a version of COM that was never quite finished. Coming back full circle the .NET "export surface" design was indeed recycled for the WinRT component model (the COM replacement of the WinRT/UWP stack) in its library metadata format (.winmd), which to .NET tools look like a .NET binary that is missing all of its (IL) code.

Long story short, .NET was not built on top of COM but parts of it were designed to backwards compatibly replace it/inter-operate with it. (...and then some of those same parts reused in COM's eventual actual replacement.)
> I am simply stating that there is no proof he is alive

rolls eyes

Apart from the fact that his hosts, his own legal team, and Swedish prosecutors have all publicly vouched for having interacted with him in the past couple of days and even Pamela bloody Anderson has met him since his last "proof of life", none whatsoever.

Also, there is not cryptographically sound proof that I am alive, so it is not really speculating to suggest that you are interacting with a ghost.

This particular ghost finds it pretty hilarious that anybody could consider it plausible that powerful people wanting to kill Assange would form the largest and unlikeliest group of conspirators ever and then drip feed as much information drawing as much attention to his situation as possible to the press after doing the deed, and consider it unlikely that Assange might do something to elicit shock value.

> Being put on a registry because of your religion isn't a reward, and historically that kind of thing has been followed by extermination.

> You mentioned that the end outcome of being on a registry is historically followed by extermination.

Where did your interlocutor claim that being on any registry is historically followed by extermination? You're broadening their position to introduce contradictions that don't exist in the original.

It's like claiming that someone who doesn't support one kind of tax because that kind of tax has a history of causing very serious problems and very little benefit must necessarily oppose all taxes. If you want to prove that they should, based on their stated position, oppose all taxes, you'll need to demonstrate that all taxes cause very similar balance of benefits and problems to the one they oppose.
Garbage article, this isn't racism, this is a guy seeking attention.
Definitions of sanity aside, whether or not its a "good" idea is a matter of perspective. The 2008 financial crises showed how a lot of money can be made with no real repercussions approving loans, so probably looked like a very good idea to those who profited. Same with the S&L crisis in the 80s and 90s.
Cool how you think you know me.

I think you're right. Once you factor in high efficiency solar panels (like the germanium ones in satellites) land based drones can infiltrate enemy territory and sleep for months or years until they're needed.

Seriously, Ember philosophy of slowly aggregating what's good in web dev and even adopting early some things (like components, and cli) makes me feel very good using it in projects with teams. For solo projects I like to try what is new.
Reading your comment made me think of Erlang, where the guiding principle is the opposite: large systems will contain errors, and will fail. That is what fault-tolerant is, you design your software (language, libraries and end program) in a way that will handle unforeseen errors and failures. Because in large systems there will always be bugs.

Substituting one drug for another to treat a psychological or behavioral deficiency has been a popular prescription for a long time, and reciditivism has prevailed in a majority of cases, upwards of 90 percentile in alcohol and opiate abusers.

> At one time, the JVM had superior configurability - many more runtime options for aggressive garbage collection, profiling, optimization, and debugging.

I'm not sure that this actually implies it was a more robust and production ready system. The JVM seems to be on a similar path of reducing somewhat how much tuning is expected of operators. Certainly we do less of it now on Java 8 (although some of the defaults it sets are truly boneheaded).

True, but when you have hundreds of millions of dollars directed at one person over several years, approval can slide from 66% to less than 40%, even with the best defenses.

Take me, for example. I was a big supporter of Clinton in 2012. I even donated to her campaign. But, several times during the 2016 campaign I actually caught myself thinking that I didn't trust her. And, I had to remind myself why I liked her.

So, whatever they did, it was very, very effective. It really sapped a lot of supporters motivation, at the very least.

While I prefer C#'s delegates/lambdas, there has been an occasional time I've wished for the ability to construct a full instanced object in that case - Java's anonymous inner classes are brilliant at this.

Likewise Java's OOP enums (basically singletons) are something I miss too.

That's a few small features I notice missing when I switch to C#.

Plus, in general I find there's a difference in style. C# libraries tend to be more pragmatic, following on Microsoft's heavy use of reflection and stringly-typed stuff. Not much OOP navel-gazing.

Java, on the other hand, celebrates OOP to a ludicrous extreme.

Also on the community, C# has been working very hard to develop the kind of bazaar that Java has, but they're coming from far behind on that front - far more C# developers restrict them to the first-party tools compared to the Java ones.
I have a huge horse in this fight, because I work for an online casino/slot machine manufacture. The following is my opinion, bl.a

I know at least one physical casino where the tax authorities are very happy looking the other way, as patrons gamble tons of dirty cash. They do look very intently on the income and track it carefully because there is a percentage fee on gambling. Presumably that is why people are allowed to gamble freely.

I can come up with a few arguments against your idea - on the balance it is sound, but what should the limit be on "nominal"?

I can go to the cinema on a weekly basis, which with ticket prices, popcorn and other concessions can be quite an expensive hobby, or I can hit the casinos a couple times a year where I could spend the same amount of money - it is all entertainment and who is to say one is better for me than the other?

I don't know any country that has a limit on how much alcohol you can buy at a time (most have age restrictions, some have time and place restrictions, some won't sell you if you are already drunk), yet there are alcoholics in any place. Should we ban or limit alcohol to some nominal amount? If not, why should we treat gambling differently?

That said, I am all about making it easy for people to see how much they have spent, and of course be honest upfront.
I meant that you have to create those components - they don't come with the library itself, contrary to [1] Blueprint for example.

Rust doesn't need to stop C++ to be successful. The market for programmers is already large enough to successfully support dozens of programming languages, and that market will only continue to grow. PHP didn't "stop" Perl, Python didn't "stop" PHP, Ruby didn't "stop" Python, and yet all of these languages continue to be enormously successful. Why should we expect a monoculture on the systems side?
Six Ways to Help Struggling Entrepreneurs Get Through the Grind
To be clear, I'm not taking a position on either candidate, they both seemed to be the absolute least likeable option.

The line between 'opinion' and 'fact' is mostly invisible, in fact presenting anything beyond the exact quoted words of a person is speculation and opinion. A story that gives context to a quote by its very nature has a bias or opinion to it.

It is very rare if ever the case that a purely factual, dry presentation of facts is presented in the news. For this reason it seems unreasonable to hold that as the standard of news.

As someone whose clients are the companies you listed and a lead on data and insights, I disagree with a part of this.

While it is true that many agencies plan based off share-of-voice, this is simply done because of laziness, and more prevalent, the lack of clear data that matters (we have X dollars, we can reach X number of people, post-campaign, we reached X people, campaign was a success!). Clicks don't matter, I agree, but conversions do. Specifically sales. That is what is paying for the advertising. As ad-tech advances, planning for sales will replace planning for reach. Think of an upside down triangle where digital and audience targeting fill the smallest part. This will be the first place where ad investment will go because you are able to see the direct results on sales. After you saturate this bucket, you can start filling things like lookalikes, contextual, behavioral, to TV and OOH at the top.
