> Clojure, incidentally has great benchmarking due to being on the JVM.

Eh? Benchmarking on the JVM is notoriously difficult bordering on impossible. There's things like Google Caliper but test runs take forever due to attempting to force JIT warmup and doing GCs after every run. And the project's own wiki tells you the results are basically meaningless for a variety of reasons.

Benchmarking things like C++ or Rust are trivial by comparison since when you call method foo() it's gonna do pretty much the same instructions every time. Highly consistent, highly repeatable, highly benchmarkable. Call method foo() in a JVM language and there's not a single person on the planet that can reliably tell you what's going to get executed on the metal.

That's why you typically profile JVM languages rather than benchmarking them.
Earlier Labs | Senior Full-Stack Developer | Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada | Full time, remote | https://goo.gl/forms/CAbrRRE0Imje5dPD2

Earlier Labs is a two-person software consultancy helping start-ups in San Francisco and Silicon Valley get things done. Depending on the needs of our clients, we take on end-to-end projects or integrate with existing development teams.

Over the past two years, we’ve worked with a wide variety of clients, which means a wide variety of tech, and we pride ourselves on being able to adapt and deliver. Today, we're working with Ruby on Rails and React.js; tomorrow, we could be working with something entirely different. While we are looking for a seasoned engineer, we don’t require you to have experience using a particular language or framework; the ability to pick things up as you go is what’s essential.

We work remotely from our home offices, and you would, too. You’ll interact directly with clients and have the freedom to set your own schedule and complete your projects however you work best.

But we can't really scale nuclear, not in any kind of reasonable time frame. Take this for example [1], billions of dollars and decades to finish. Nobody thinks there won't be a transition period where we have to use existing coal, natural gas and nuclear but in terms of what we should be investing in right now, sustainable should be the focus I think. I have no issue with new nuclear plants where it makes sense, but it doesn't seem economically like it is actually that great of a choice given how expensive they are and how long they take to build.

Yeah, but reducing the number of CAs that are trusted for any given domain is likely positive.

I'm also curious as to how the Chinese government plays into all this. Do they have a track record of making trusted CAs misissue certificates?

Made this on my spare time over a couple of weekends. In my past projects (both for work and hobbies), most of the time when I needed a GeoIP search, it was always for one of the following reasons: getting the user's country to determine if US or non-US (geo lock in some way), getting a default currency to use, getting a default language to use, or timezone of the user.

I figured I'd put this all together in one API service, to make that possible 2-3 steps of things to do in code to be just 1 step.

This is what it comes down to IMO. Anything cryptocurrency related is just surrounded by a cloud of shady characters and scammers, even though the tech is legit. You just can't trust anyone, nor their intentions. Living your life and working in a constant state of paranoia like that is awful.
A wild guess: immigrants arrive in a new country with very little support from family with existing savings, homes and the like. They often need more of a "leg up" than someone whose family has been in the country for generations.

Agreed. My LG G2 had that, and it was absolutely fantastic; but no phone since then has had double tap to turn off, only on.

I guess they're worried about false positives. But LG solved this by only allowing double tap to turn off from any of the default apps (home screen, notifications, settings, etc). You had to quit out of third party apps to turn it off that way.
There is a lot of heat in this post about "oh, it's not efficient enough why are we considering this?" Fossil fuel generated energy varies _widely_ in terms of thermal efficiency for the tech used to do it - the cost per KwH (and secondly the engineering use case) is the real deal maker/breaker.

Coal generated energy traditionally has not been very efficient, but it's cheap cheap cheap! Likewise with your home automobile: fuel is cheap enough for us to afford continuing to drive despite the "low efficiency" of an internal combustion engine.

Lithium batteries might be coming down in price, but their cost per KwH scales linearly with the battery size. You want double the capacity or halve the price? Have fun building something twice as big.

If this design can do better than linear cost scaling and bring energy storage at household electricity prices, while also using cheap materials, it's safe to say it will show up soon at a datacenter near you.
> Next they take your car.

But cars are useful and, on average safer, for many / the majority of people that use them. Guns are, on average, not so useful / safe. Note that I'm averaging this across the planet, not just across one small (5% of global population) country with a lot of strong opinions on the matter.

> Why? Cars kills way more people than guns.

I know it's a pithy aphorism, but in the same way that guns don't kill people, cars don't kill people either. It's a matter of mitigating the risk of misuse of one or the other (or both). And, as I say, cars have a very important benefit for a lot of people. Guns ... less so.

In any case you've missed my point.

We don't have toys that we hand out to toddlers and < 10yo's that encourage the emulation of lethal activities by means of turning a vehicle into a weapon -- but we do with plastic facsimiles of weapons. I was asking should we be discouraging the latter.

You turn that into a 'if the kiddies don't have plastic semi-automatic weapons, then we'll have to give up private transport, and then we won't be able to use commercial airlines'.

Aside: there's sufficient natural experiments out there that demonstrate the benefits of gun control compared to, say, the USA's approach. While I respect your preferences here, it's difficult to make a compelling argument.

Whilst unrelated to the article, my complaint about codecs in Rust is that they seem to be slow. Whilst the reason for this might be the immaturity of the libraries that I've used, but they've always been slower than their C counter-parts. The native JPEG decoder spins up 4 threads to decode the same amount of frames at 3x the time as the libjpeg-turbo does. There's a similar story for the FLAC decoder.

I don't think that any of this has anything to do with the language itself, it's just that it takes time for things to mature. As for the issues outlined in the article - the language is different enough from C and C++ that one just has to accept the fact that you cannot write idiomatic C and C++ in Rust and expect it to be comfortable, performant or safe. However, with Rust, I'd say, that one can achieve 99% of what one can achieve in C today. The only thing that Rust is missing currently is the ability to arbitrarily jump around the call stack due to the way destructors are implemented, but there's a way to mitigate this and it's being worked as far as I was aware.
Proof-of-work blockchains were developed to solve a problem that only exists in a small percentage of distributed engineering use-cases. Unless you need to build a "censorship-free" peer-to-peer ledger distributed among untrusted, anonymous participants, the complexity costs and latency and computation costs simply aren't worth it.

It's the same reason that Ford doesn't build a tunnel under the US/Mexico border to ferry car parts to America.
They later changed the search box, but I recall at the time their motivation was "we want the title of the page to also be a search field, rather than just a search field". It sort of made sense.

Load Balancing HTTPS with Let's Encrypt and HAProxy
Yup you can say that again, u found my old copy and started going over it and it's truly timeless.
I don't think her statement actually says "real people don't need end-to-end encryption". I'm not sure what she is saying though. Not banning end-to-end encryption, not asking for back doors, but having "mature conversations" that have something to do with trade-offs between usability and security. What?
The choice of font and lack of contrast make this nearly unreadable for me...

> Taxation is theft by definition

No, it's by definition not theft. Theft is the unlawful taking of property without consent of the owner; taxation is by definition done by legal authority, and, ipso facto, is not theft.

Now, if you dismiss any moral status of legal authority (not merely legal authority which lacks some proper accountability, but all legal authority irrespective of accountability and structure), then, sure taxation is the moral equivalent of theft without being theft. And if you take the more moderate view that some legal authority is morally relevant, but that that depends on structure and accountability to the governed, then taxation by an improper authority is morally equivalent to theft.

But, by definition, taxation is not theft.

Does Amsterdam require citizens to carry ID with them all the time? When I am out around my home town but not driving myself (using public transit, walking, or rding with friends/family) I often don't carry my ID with me. (I am in the US). If asked to show my ID, I couldn't comply even if I wanted to. It seems strange to me to expect people to have their ID with them at all times.
