> Of all the things I said, is that really the only one you want to address?

Yes, I guessed (correctly!) that others would inquire about the rest of the comment, I wanted the context. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

> Having said all of that, you probably think I'm in some rare position. However, it's a really big world, and you might be surprised how much sloppy C, C++, Fortran, and COBOL software is out there quietly getting the job done without the constant onslaught of black hats attacking it. We don't all write web browsers and servers. There are a lot of potentially profitable C++ targets in the finance industry, but somehow they survive.

I'm not surprised.

Your argument is something along the lines "a lot of code doesn't have particularly high security requirements" and "sandboxing/airgapping mitigates problems", which are both totally reasonable and indeed are things that Rust core team acknowledge (although the first is becoming less and less true, in "surprising" places, as more things are internet connected). Additionally, the latter is a "defense in depth" strategy that the Rust community is keen on (e.g. https://github.com/servo/gaol): it is understood that code can have bugs, inside unsafe code or not, and so limiting the interaction with things outside the program is always good.

However, neither of these facts support, for instance, an expert being able write a memory-safe regex library in C++ in a reasonable time (e.g. how long it took for Rust's regex library to be written by a single Rust expert), nor do they say anything about code that does have strict requirements about security or correctness (latent memory safety bug might not be exploited, but it can still lead to weird crashes and data corruption).

> Given all of that, I have been interested in Rust for reasons having nothing to do with safety. You have some great features, and I think you should advertise those. If you fixed the pain points in Rust instead of emphasizing the shortcomings in C++, I think you could win a lot more converts (and a lot of new developers who could grow your ecosystem outside of web clients and services).

This was extensively discussed a few weeks ago, e.g. http://words.steveklabnik.com/rust-is-more-than-safety https://thefeedbackloop.xyz/safety-is-rusts-fireflower/ http://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/247406.html http://words.steveklabnik.com/fire-mario-not-fire-flowers .

And, you might be interested to know that the 2017 roadmap https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/02/06/roadmap.html includes many things like fixing pain points, and features for both web and non-web developers.
If you take 10,000 developers and distribute them among 1,000 teams, the expected average ability of each team is the same as if you distributed them among 10 teams. What changes is the variance--the averages among the 10 teams will be more tightly clustered than among the 1,000 teams.
I live in a rural area. There are three options for internet - satellite (limited data allowance - but decent speed), dial-up or a local ISP with a Motorola canopy system. I chose the last option. I get 100 KB/sec max download speed (on a good day). Divide by the 4-5 people in the house regularly using the Internet and it gets really slow, really quick. Many times I just give up and shut the computer off or I browse using Lynx.

And nope - no cell phone signal here either..

> overly-expository self-labeling

When large numbers of people tell you to hide your sexual preferences and your gender identity in shame and even for safety, when they are target of public ridicule (e.g., gay jokes in movies), and when they label you and define your identity for you -- then asserting what you are, in the face of all that, becomes very important personally and politically.

> It's not entirely clear to me why ...

You might find it inconvenient, but if you look around, it's obvious why:

> In other eras ... these previous credentials

Today, right now, discrimination is very widespread against non-male/female gender identities and non-heterosexual sexual preferences. In the U.S., a major political party embraces discrimination; states make discriminatory laws. In other countries these things are outlawed and put people at risk of public violence and death (the latter is true in parts of Western countries too).

If you are tired of this issue, IMHO, it's a bit short-sighted to complain. Imagine what it must be like to have to live with it, every day of your life, with every person that you meet; often just turning on the TV or reading a book. If you are tired of the words used, the people who live with it must be absolutely exhausted, worn down almost to death.

"Unix came into many CS departments largely because it was the only powerful interactive system that could run on the sort of hardware (PDP-11s) that universities could afford in the mid '70s. In addition, Unix itself was also very inexpensive. Since source code was provided, it was a system that could be shaped to the requirements of a particular installation."

I don't know if there's a single document somewhere with an explicit roadmap. Their GitHub page (https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows) includes links to multiple sources that could collectively be considered a sort of roadmap, including the Issue tracker, UserVoice page, team blog, and discussion forums. I've also asked the devs questions on Twitter a couple times (like @richturn_ms) and usually gotten fast responses.

Fair question!

Grammar: kakoune is heavily oriented towards selections.
Things that happen in normal mode operate on the current
selection. It's like using visual mode in Vim, except
it's always on. It takes a little getting used to, since
any cursor move changes the current selection. Part of
its selection orientation is excellent support for multiple
cursors.

Platforms: POSIX only. No support for odd platforms. If
you want to use it on Windows, you have to use Cygwin.

Packaging: basically non-existant. You pull it from github
and build it yourself.

Maturity: kakoune doesn't have version numbers as far as
I can tell. I've had it crash on me, but it's rare.

Community: tiny but vibrant. There's #kakoune on freenode,
which the core team seems to monitor pretty actively.

Syntax highlighting: yes, and it's more flexible than vim's.
You can use it to roll your own colorcolumn, for instance.

Code folding and line wrap: these aren't there in kak, and I
do miss them, but not enough to go back to vim

Tmux integration: awesome in kak, absent in vim. One of my
new favorite things. In general, you can have multiple
editors attached to the same session.

Automation / configuration: There's no such thing as
kakscript, which I see as a plus. Nevertheless, you can
do a lot of stuff here; I haven't scratched the surface,
but there are lots of interesting example kakrc files
out there.

Essentially I'm proposing private-sector communism; let's find a way to raise money from people who depend on open source, and then find a reasonably good way for figuring out who to throw some at. It doesn't have to be perfectly proportional to the popularity of what they're doing, the goal is reduce financial insecurity rather than have a Great Accounting.

Any help/direction to look helps. It also would help if I was actually passionate about whatever field I decided to pursue.

I'm starting to realize more and more that time counts, when you allocate so much of it to a person/company/job and you have less and less, what you do matters.

Anyway as I said I don't really have like a "social life" so to speak, I have a couple of good friends, but I don't know "what's current".

I'm still unclear, "oldest industries" what are you talking about? Glass ware? Factories? Textiles... I don't know, but it's something so thanks for your input.
I don't think product hunt solved this.

I'm not really that impressed with their results. It's more like popularity based marketing channel(what's with all those videos ? ), because of the lack of good search and deep metadata. Heck many products don't even have a rich, textual description. It's almost like aggregating product reviews from relatively unbiased sources(unlike the cesspool that Amazon has become), and filtering by depth and building a decent search around them and a good community would work better. Than after all this, a video would be very useful.

Ah, and one more thing - try to filter out the bullshit apps, the ones without much value on product hunt. "A dating app where you can only date 1 guy"? and other stuff like that. Sorry but i have much better ways of wasting time.

But let's think about an ideal service. Such a service would have 2 forms:

1. It gathers in some form, all the "jobs" i need to do, and how well they are done today, and how much i pay for them - and than from time to time offers me concrete recommendations how to improve my life: "you could save $X each month , if you'll use this new money transfer startup". Or "you could use this recipe book, to save a lot of time and get similar level of food you're making now". etc.

Amazon does that to some extent, but it has still has some ways to go.

2. Another successful mechanism is create a RICH and DEEP tagging system for each product and search/browse through those tags - jinni.com once did it for movies - and it was a phenomenal movie discovery tool. Far better than anything we have today.

Of course, ideally such tool should also include a price comparison mechanism, and maybe "performance levels" per each relevant performance dimension, kinda like the one you get in digikey, the electronic component store, where you can select chips by speed, power,etc.

The question is, how to get there, and how close it's possible to get?

I was initially overly excited by AWS Lambda + API Gateway but now looking at the costs it's cheaper and less overhead to just run a highly available boxes.

For large organizations, I can see the benefit of moving to serverless particularly doing away with server ops for more slower and less frequent tasks..

but for fast response and cost effectiveness, unless AWS Lambda dramatically reduces costs to match a $5 / month digitalocean instance that will respond instantly and can take quite a beating for lighter requests, I'd be more wary-AWS bills can rack up very fast.

> Looking at modern day web development we are seeing the opposite, where the program is many times bigger than it's output, suggesting to me that the modern frameworks do not come from any sound theory.

I tend to agree, most "modern [web] frameworks" were created as hacks to ease some other development pain and only later got polished by the application of some sound theory (or simply by enough development/use-cycles).

OTOH, since frameworks must be generic enough to, well, act as a "frame" for the actual application, one could also argue that more can be gained by some JIT-mechanism that optimizes according to the current usage pattern. (Somebody, IIRC at MIT, published something along those lines just a few weeks ago.)
That even today, MacOS looks very antiquated compared to Windows (talking mostly about the UI and UX here, the foundations of both OS are on par).
I'm legitimately interested to see how much software engineers make if they're not White or Asian. Given the lack of women and minorities I'd say minorities are better off being an MD than a SE. In addition, I'm skeptical that an average SE can get offers at places that give them this kind of compensation.

---

Take Google for an example. [1]

The earning "likelihood" (whether this is cultural, sociopolitical, socioeconomic, etc. is irrelevant. This is just observable fact, given Google's data) of Blacks is 1/17s of Whites and 1/5s of Asians (Google numbers scaled for Black representation in the US).

What I am getting with this? In this model I'm describing, you either work at Google, making $100 or you're unemployed, making 0. This means Whites and Asians will continue to make much more as Software Engineers, because the average wage as White or Asian person as a software engineer is higher, because of the higher rates of them being software engineers to begin with. This results in the average reported wage for software engineering being closer to $100 (the ceiling) even though it's more like $20 if you're a woman or minority.

Therefore, for an article like this to be useful for minorities and women, it would have to illustrate companies that have high (where high is equal to US demographics) rates of employment for software engineers. Otherwise, this might as well just read: "2017 State of Global Millionaires"

I had to chuckle when multiple people insisted it was guaranteed to work, when I pointed out that biology has many ways of surprising you.

We so often assume that biological systems follow simple causality paths and operate in a linear regime. In reality, nearly all biological systems contain homeostatic feedback mechanisms that self-regulate, they sample enormous complexity space in a single generation, and nothing is linear.
My commute is a 15-minute walk, or 5-minute bike ride. :) I chose the apartment based on proximity to work -- could have saved $100-200/mo with a longer commute, but the savings would have been more than eaten up by the gas/car maintenance costs and I hate commuting. I still own a car, but don't use it to get to work.

We live in a 680 sq ft one-bedroom apartment in an older development ($2200/mo). We'll have to upgrade when my baby outgrows his large walk-in closet, but it fits our needs fine for now.

Indeed. It's distressing how this tactic can be (and is) employed by all sorts of unhinged extremists, from radical postmodernists to Trump and his cronies.

> Do you use it for something?

Nope, I just fell in love with a class project and expanded it greatly.

If you decide to go this route, I'd suggest picking an old class project too. Class projects are pretty much cut down to whatever a student can build within 2 months, taking into account that their time is split 5 different ways and they are inexperienced in the language.

It's the perfect amount of depth so you're not writing a toy project, but you are also not overwhelmed and consider this a real "side project" or 2nd job.

If you want something smaller---do a chat app. They're dead simple, and will teach you the network stack of whatever language you are using. Add some bells and whistles like image sharing to make it like Yahoo 2.0, and you'll have something fairly meaty.

But to each their own, eh?

> "Stipulating that you can only get that package of attributes in a health-compromised breed, I don't think you have a very strong argument"

Not sure what you mean by this. Can you elaborate?

If you want an apartment-sized dog that has like, no health issues, adopt a pit bull. Adopt a mutt. Adopt a labrador. If the dog tears up your shit, hire a trainer. If it needs exercise, exercise it more. Etc.

You can certainly choose a breed (or mix) that will have a significantly better quality of life without sacrificing anything personally. In which case, why would you instead choose a breed that is for-sure without-a-doubt no-way-around-it riddled with problems? The ethical negative seems obvious because there are plenty of other dogs that fit the bill without sacrificing their health from jump.

I will agree with you on education being an important factor in choosing a dog. But very few people have the in-depth education required to make that choice in the first place so, like I said, the responsibility ultimately falls on the BREEDER.
