I would argue that the analogy isn't really there because expensive consumer products can confer utility just by being expensive.

In a very simple, animal way having difficult-to-attain things communicates that you have the ability to recruit significant resources and therefore are a cool and important guy or gal and deserve respect and consideration.

Whereas having a lot of game points communicates that you may be an addict.
Yeah the problem is if you're going to relocate someone to Japan you might as well get someone from India/Poland/Russia/Brazil rather than the most expensive country. Still we did have a graduate from San Diego move there for a few years.

I assume that treating 0 as false was intentional in this case (it probably was written in PDP-11 ASM) and a direct translation of the Therac code therefore would be

Me too, but we do have to remember that that's probably because we were raised in societies that don't value these perks over cash. In societies where that is not the case, non-monetary perks can be many many times more valuable than abstract cash.

In a previous life I was a weapons engineering officer in a western Navy. Sure, some sailors made more money when they were deployed versus me when I was on a shore assignment. But in situations from calm arguments to shouting down agressive drunk sailors, I had the upper hand just due to my rank. Even if I was wrong! Culture is a powerful thing, and it's there whether you think it's important or not.
It takes time to get used to writing Rust, dealing with the borrow checker, and fulfilling the proper trait bounds (Sync, Send, Sized, etc). I don't run into nearly as many compiler complaints now that I've written my fair share of Rust code. I feel like I'm quite productive in Rust, actually.
What I've seen about self-driving vehicles is that they are supposed to let all human passenger just take a nap during the ride. What you are describing is closer to old cruise control where the car would automatically maintain a selected speed.

With enough road re-engineering, a self-driving car could essentially follow electronic rails and also get a lot of real time input about traffic jams, detours, slippery roads, new potholes, etc.
Agreed this could change the game. I think there is a large network effect to this type of product. Once people get used to it, learn how to code it, build tutorials, start using it on projects, and tell their friends about it, they won't want to switch. Right now Universal Robots seems to have a large share of the existing market, but many small shops are still just getting their first robotic arm. Will be very cool to watch.
When I write in Rust, I have feeling "that's how programming should work". I don't know how to express it in more scientific way. Errors handling, pattern matching, Result type - it's all how it should work. I know, some other languages have similar features, but Rust also has race-conditions protection (very important thing), good package manager out of the box, testing tool (cargo test), very smart compiler and great performance - just all the best.

For off-the-shelf electronic parts in small quantities, everybody orders from Digi-Key, or maybe Mouser. Order by 8 PM Central time, delivery by 10:30 AM the next morning if you pay for FedEx.

That's what wiped out local parts stores. You never knew what they had in stock, and the markups were huge.

Also, Digi-Key doesn't have a counterfeit parts problem. Digi-Key deals directly with manufacturers. The supply chain is simple and has no anonymous resellers. If someone finds a bad part and reports it to Digi-Key, their systems can trace it back to the manufacturer lot. So not many duds get through.

It was the timing of the exposure that could have interfered with the results of the Presidential election which is a major news event in the US that many people perceive to have a higher impact on their lives vs. a quietly disclosed hack/coincidence (F-35 example).

Plus in some people's minds a private defense contractor being "hacked" is more along the lines of industrial espionage instead of a major political party being "hacked" during an election. Even worse, certain news outlets reporting that the election itself(!) was hacked which is misleading and could make people think that voting machines were actually hacked by a foreign power instead of the PsyOps which allegedly took place.
Debugging large, stateful Python applications can be a hassle. In Django, projects, for example, your logic can be spread across multiple files containing models, views, managers, etc.

This tool will allow you to control debugging code in one module from within another module. This can be very helpful in helping disentangle complex, stateful code.

In the bread scenario, the high price was driven by the shortage. That is, there isn't enough wheat physically available to fulfill the demand. Typical wheat production ends up with a surplus, which is stored, destroyed, or sold to lower-tier markets at a large discount.

I see the point you're trying to make. But the point remains that the high price of a commodity is a reflection of scarcity, not the other way around.

I didn't downvote you, but I'm assuming most commenters on HN don't want to be compared to bread or other commodities.

I would like it to tell me if I accidentally converted to a narrower type. This is a problem, because I don't necessary see the type I'm converting from due to type inference or simply am too far from the context where that type is declared and have to make assumptions to keep going. These assumptions of course fail sometimes and cause bugs. Same problem with precisions, by the way. I'm not sure how exactly compilers should fix this, the easiest fix seems to simply have different operators to explicitly allow lossy conversions, when necessary. But the bigger deal would be to treat numbers as sets of possible values with solvers or whatever to warn about mistakes where you use unhandled values in the code somewhere.
I wonder about the skill levels of the people working for these organizations. On some level it's still a government job and I can't imagine the govt to be able to attract the best of the best.
I've written web services in Rust, and I'm quite happy with it. Iron is a pleasure to use, and the stuff I write is incredibly performant. There's also something amazing about compiling a project to a single binary and deploying.

Rust is only about a year old. Once the library support grows, it's going to be a giant in just about every space I can think of.
Why should I accept one person's opinion that a theoretical "absolutely miserable" life in the US is worse than living in extreme poverty over, you know, actual data? We all have the agency to allocate our resources as we wish; not being in extreme poverty means that you have more resources to allocate to improving your condition.

Also, is neoliberalism about dividing people up by minority status and then ensuring diversity in our oppressorship? Or is it about reducing everyone to rational market actors and abstracting away everything else? I can't quite tell.

You can use lots of fancy thought-piece buzzwords but I don't see how it makes the content itself thought-provoking.
In the early 1920's NYC was building 100,000 apartments per year. Then government interfered and created the shortage:

From Harvard Economist Edward Glaeser:

"...Radically upping that supply would leave far more New Yorkers able to rent something for a reasonable price on the free market, instead of allowing rents to continue to rise for most while a select few win access, via waitlists and lotteries, to a separate class of apartments at below-market rates.

Once upon a time, New York City understood this. In the early 1920s, we were building 100,000 new housing units, accessible to people across the economic spectrum, every year. As a result, the booming city remained affordable to working- and middle-class people like my grandparents.

How was this possible? For one, the city’s regulations back then were relatively modest, focusing primarily on safety and light. Thanks in no small part to that limited red tape, the cost of producing new units was relatively low, and — surprise, surprise — they got built." (The article continues)

Back in the day, we used WebDAV[0] for remote FS access. This had some issues with file locks (with multiple users accessing the same directory) and cross-platform compatibility (mostly between different versions of Windows and/or Office), but most of the time it Just Worked.

Anyway, there are also other open source solutions like sshfs[1][2] available that sidestep those issues (as long as only one user is accessing the remote copy, anyway).

It's certainly possible that intelligence agencies are mistaken or deliberately lying. We can't possibly know if that's the best interpretation of the evidence they may or may not have. They have been correct in the past as well.

The best and only thing the average citizen can really do is try to put people in office who can intelligently parse classified information and evidence from intelligence agencies.
Well if a general AI already exists, wouldn't you rather use that than develop your own AI just to maximize paper clips? If general AI exists it only makes sense to apply it wherever possible (excluding security, etc) to see if it can find any optimizations.

It sounds like a viable business plan and good incentive to me. Google builds gAI, sells it as a service to solve any problem.
It seems unlikely that email hacking will stop in the future. If the leaked emails actually influenced the elections, it was because of their content. I've heard exactly zero credible claims that the leaked emails were falsified in any way. Perhaps if political candidates/party executives are going to do unethical/illegal things, they shouldn't discuss them over email.

Edit: changed "zero claims" to "zero credible claims"
Did they really need to say, "We also have other data about the attack that we're not publishing because it's classified"? Isn't that kind of safe to assume?
Wow, this should be the top comment.

There are virtualization solutions that provide exclusive access to storage. Hyper-V surprisingly is one such solution and I've been running ZFS inside of Hyper-V instances for a couple of years now with no issue.
This was fun, so kudos, but deeply flawed I feel. It's basically Tim Leary/Robert Anton Wilson's model dressed in psychobabble. I'd give her more credit if she at least credited/referenced them and let's also not forget that psychology is not really a science [1].

For something with far more substance, I suggest metaprogramming by John Lilly [2]. At least he had the conviction to spend more than half of his life experimenting (radically) on himself.

I like "5x less" as a shorthand for saying you have to apply 1/5. There's something pleasing about the idea that you don't need to change your sentence structure to say something is less rather than more, and I think in this case the intent was perfectly clear.
This Rust fanboyism is turning in to the new node hype "use node for everything node is web scale fast because it uses an event loop io instead of thread based io"

If what you are suggesting is true, isn't the biggest problem by far the fanboyism posing as knowledge? Wouldn't complaining about Rust be like living in the age of alchemy, and complaining about someone's particular potion? Isn't the epistemological squishyness of the entire field the biggest problem by far?
Take anything people with titles like "Asia-Pacific chief" say with a lot of grains of salt. They are used to making sweeping generalizations that only reflect their own view of something and often has little to do with reality or statistics.

You can easily find people who will work in dev cycles of years if you give them a $250k+, a good private office, and perks that are usually seen in so-called "Hipster Rubyist" shops like flexible timings. The problem is that companies with a dev cycle of years tend to also expect their programmers to swipe in a time card every day, sit at a shitty desk with a shitty chair, and drink Folgers coffee. Then their "chief" whines saying "We can't find any programmers!".
Small credit unions would be your best bet, but I'm not aware of any specifics unfortunately.
My First Three Months as a Startup Founder (Building a Transparent Startup)
Ask HN: Can European cookie warnings be avoided by using localStorage instead?
I don't exactly what the use of the cookie warnings is, since you can barely use the site if you disable cookies, but even if they were useful, the current implementation on most websites causes most of the page to get covered on mobile.

While designers figure out a better way to present the warnings, is it possible to avoid the need for them by using localStorage instead of cookies?
Hmm. Is it less transparent than vectors which use implicit run-time bounds-checks? Don't RefCells use implicit run-time checks? (Btw I don't know Rust very well, so feel free to correct me.) And what about the question mark operator for dealing with exceptions/errors? Isn't there a lot going on under the hood there?

But yeah, I can understand the sentiment of wanting to minimize that kind of thing in a lot of cases. Perhaps, like C and C++, Rust might consider bifurcating into a "high transparency" language, and a "high productivity" superset of the language. In that case, would all of the existing Rust language make it into the "high transparency" subset?

Like I said, the problem is that no one's defining what a "system" is. Haven't they written a browser rendering engine in Rust? Is that a "system"? Is there any part of the browser that does not qualify as a system?
I thought about that but I'm not sure how flexible the old software is. If it can take arbitrary numbers then yea that'd be the way to do it.
> Why do they make less than the minimum wage? Why do laws allow it? Why are they treated as a "special case" instead of just having a set wage like all the other professions?

It probably has something to do with history or tradition - around the tipping model in the US.

Basically it was the case (and still is generally) that if you did your job exceptionally well, and made the customer feel genuinely that you did an exceptional job at handling their needs and wants, they would tip you - and in many cases, the tip would be very favorable.

This worked great if you were the one getting the tip directly; if you were so lucky and so skilled, you could easily make much more than what you would have gotten as a "fair wage" (indeed - for example for bartending you can make a lot of money as I understand it).

This doesn't work well, though, in cases where you have to do tip sharing - because then you, as an exceptional service provider, are now potentially supplementing others who give average or even sub-par performance (though it can be favorable if everyone was doing exceptionally well - but this is rarely the case).

It also doesn't work well if you have customers not upholding their end - ie, tipping appropriately for the level and value of the service they receive.

I personally adhere to a tip rate of 20% for standard service; if you do better, you get more, if you do worse, you get less (but I tend not to go below 10% - unless you really deserve it). However, I'm increasingly seeing myself as being an outlier; many people either tip poorly, or not at all.

It's perfectly reasonable to say "Rust isn't appropriate for my use case". Your comment higher up was more along the lines of "Rust isn't appropriate for anyone" which is far less reasonable.

Then why did the report attribute any of this to Russia without substantiating those claims?

If my boss drops a request on me to write a report on the "technical details regarding the tools and infrastructure used by the X to do Y", I don't spend time in the report explaining that X did Y. That's not the point of the report I was asked to make. That's a different report.
This is a magic report.

I agree. My words fail to express how horrifying and depressing it was for me to see the uncertainty of everything, but I worked through it and now my experience of everything is both "real" and "not real" at the same time. I feel as if I'm in a state of perpetual cognitive dissonance. However, I've decided that state is beautiful, enjoyable, and the only state of mind I can actually understand well.

I strongly disagree. Though it is possible to fudge through working Rust code without understanding the principles that govern Rust, which is probably more than you can say for C++, not understanding these things is going to make life a lot harder when you do run up against them.
