Very little right now, given that so few systems are built with it. And then, after more are converted, it will still be difficult to judge how much is a result of the language itself, and how much is a result of improved algorithms, gpu leveraging, and system design.

Rust itself is more about preventing bugs and security problems than improving performance.

> The engines are designed so that a detached fan blade stays contained within the cowling.

Yes, but uncontained failures can and do happen. Qantas Flight 32 is an example of an uncontained engine failure on an A380, though with a Rolls Royce engine instead of Engine Alliance (GE + P&W). [0]

I do think they're very lucky that this uncontained engine failure didn't cause more damage. QF32 was heavily damaged by debris coming out of the engine, so the fact that this seems to be relatively contained to the engine itself is fortunate.

>I don't know. Depression has been recorded for thousands of years, so either society has always been insane (quite likely), in which case it's not likely to turn around any time soon, or there are other causes of depression. Some people can also fall into a depression for no identifiable reason (I can vouch for that from experience).

Of course there have always been depressed people, but the modern phenomenon where supposedly 10% of the population will have it in their lives, or where entire countries experience skyrocketing suicide rates, is certainly not related - I find it very difficult to believe that they all have a biological problem, instead of a cultural or societal problem.

>SSRIs and SNRIs and other medications have saved my life and some of my sanity, and I have high confidence that it's not a placebo - for me - having tried and failed with probably a dozen of these over the years, before hitting on a workable combination.

I don't doubt this - I only said that the vast majority of sufferers of depression do not seem to suffer from a biological problem. From my personal experience, I have seen that most of the depressed people I have known have gotten better not through medicine or medical procedure, but by consciously trying to make their lives better and be the best person they can be. Obviously this won't work for everyone - there really is such a thing as biologically-caused mental illness (see: schizophrenia, for example), but I think it is much rarer than people are willing to admit.

>But that's just me, so this is anecdata.

All data is anecdata. It's not worthless just because it happens to be your actual life and not collated and tallied by some detached scientist, it has meaning and value even without being a part of some anonymous dataset you can take confidence intervals on.

The 4chan poison has been spreading. The poison is when these oh-so-smart culture hackers take advantage of our open systems to constantly act in bad faith "trolling" all of us with fake propaganda across all information channels. It used to be just for the lulz, but the laugh has become organized, funded, and gained much wicked intent behind it. It is a new aggressive societal disease that is taking advantage of our openness and freedom. Similar to external terrorists these internal terrorists are causing society to recoil in horror and become less free as we look for ways to protect ourselves.

Can I ask how you got that info? Are committers listed as paid / unpaid ?
I feel like most comments in this thread focus on the process mining, whereas IMO they are missing the core idea of this article:

> Build a tool that provides those, and only those, to users.

The author probably assumes that it is obvious that this means that the UI of such a tool (be it a CLI or a UI) can be simpler. So much simpler, that it in turn can be made much more powerful. So much more powerful, that maybe, just maybe, one day there will be a time where programmers won't have to spend serious effort on learning and doing source control anymore.
I think you're being pretty hyperbolic in your reaction here. A lot of people like to indulge in their morbid curiosity, and they're free to do so. If that means aimless speculation about the cause of someone's death as a means of rationalizing it then so be it. It's not really your place to be the arbiter of someone's death and others' reactions to it.

A friend of mine died when he was only 24 due to a sudden brain aneurysm in his sleep, and in that same year I had two other friends commit suicide (in fairness one was questionable, but it was by a train). I grappled with that for well over a year, to the point that it caused me a great deal of anxiety and insomnia for someone apparently healthy to die that young. It fundamentally crushed a lot of my own personal sense of control and security. One of the most difficult things for me to process was the utter lack of information - how did he die? Did he have chronic headaches and didn't check? Is there a way I could consider him accountable for it? Something to understand the situation would give me greater closure than the reality that people simply die, sometimes quite suddenly, for no predictable reason at all.

This is an extreme example for me to give, but the message is this: I understand that you're upset by this individual dying and the way others reacted to it (take a look at a comment I made here when John Nash died in a car accident in 2015: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9597349). But what you're doing is policing other peoples' emotions, and they have a right to react to the death by speculating about its causes. That is a natural and very common response that you cannot artificially remove.
Network infrastructure is also a powerful driver of centralisation.

I'd much rather host content from my home (and, living in a very sunny Australian city, power that with PV and battery storage at a low amortised cost) - but I can't, because the network to support that isn't there.

I get about 7Mb/s down and and 1Mb/s up - my link is highly asymmetric. When I finally get off ADSL and on to the new National Broadband Network, that'll still be asymmetric.

I can see why networks are built that way, given the current centralisation of infrastructure, but the build also reinforces centralisation.

Think back to 20 years ago when most business network connections, even for small business, were symmetric. Hosting stuff on-site (email servers, web servers, ...) was far more common.
It's funny how that works, even in Berlin i feel there is more of a stigma if you actually own a car instead of using public transportation, but Berlin is probably an extreme example of a very left-heavy capital.
I'm pretty sure at this point in it's lifetime HTTP worked better than IPFS does now.
Because it's more practical. Freenet was just too slow 10 years ago. Maybe it's better now, but it could never achieve IPFS speeds.

When you consider coordinates, Half Tile Offset is same as using hexagonal tiles, but there are mathematically (and code-wise) nicer alternatives: http://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#coordinates

If you want to preload 6 adjecent tiles as suggested instead of 8, it seems better to make them hexagon-shaped as well (to make the distance to edges more uniform in all directions). I haven't implemented hexagonal tiles of vector data though - any experiences?

On the other hand, if the tile size is relatively small and you preload multiple tiles in all directions anyway, the proportional advantage of using Half Tile Offset or hexagonal tiles diminishes and code complexity prevails. (The scaling table in the end of the original article fails to distinguish that you don't have to preload all (2N+1)^2 square tiles either: you can approximate a circle with small squares and preload just about PI/4*(2N+1)^2 tiles ie. 21.5% savings.)
Run as far as you can from the atttractive ones. Good looks are a crutch. They let people slide by without ever developing character.

It's not like you upload something to the swarm then disconnect your own server and hope people will forever seed. The swarm is a backup and load balancer. You (or some hosting provider you pay) should still be the main seeder of your own content.
Take this picture from above, that's basically the pattern.

Have you been to Puerto Rico? It's quite beautiful!

I was there just this past January. You just described a large and diverse island with millions of people as some sort of homogeneous culture, using terms like "the place" and "a slum." Yes, Puerto Rico has places like La Perla in Old San Juan, which are infamous for being rather unsavory. But that's not at all representative of the entire island.

To be clear, I'm not saying that you're necessarily wrong in your normative claim - that Puerto Rico should be independent - but your positive claim (that most of the island is simply a slum) and your dismissive presentation of such is simply poor.

A more nuanced and charitable argument is that the island could have far more economic output than simple tourism if it were provided with the same support as the rest of the states in America, or that it would fare even better with independence. But you're not making either of those arguments, you're just saying we need to get rid of them as though they're a burden. That's not productive for anyone involved.

One of the issues in the UK that is pushing these changes through is wait times and understaffing. Unless you have an emergency or something life-and-death serious you might as well forget about it. The people don’t like it and wanted change, which is why the Torries and Brexit was voted for.

I don’t think the general public want to see it privatised though, it’s just the governments are pushing it through as their agenda to avoid having to raise taxes (corporate and income tax in the UK is on the low side compared to other Western-European countries).

These things are related, though. A comment by Manish, who works on Stylo: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6pgdxn/stylo_s...

So yes, it's not like just writing it in Rust will make things faster. It's that Rust makes it easier to do "improved algorithms, gpu leveraging, and system design" in the first place.

That also said, its true that there's a lot more to 57's speed than just the Rust work; the UI work also plays a huge part for example, given their focus on user percepted speed related issues.

From the article:

Freenet has a different set of design goals and tradeoffs. IPFS is much close to Bittorrent which AFAICT has never really waned in popularity.

I need to comment because people are missing the point... there's nothing in this text that says the web won't need servers.

Imagine that you and some friends want to launch a small local business and need to host a website. Instead of paying to host it "up in the cloud", why not plug a few raspberry pi's into the walls at each of your houses? Between that and also seeding it from your laptops, the site should have decent coverage. Maybe you could also offer some discounts for loyal customers who choose to seed it. This site will be redundantly hosted in the location where it's most likely to be accessed.

If you're doing something more permanent, then you will want to make sure you have more stable hosts, and not just some peoples cell phones. Just like you do now. It's the same thing as now. If you want to host something, make sure there is at least one computer that is serving it on a decent internet connection.

The difference is that with distributed web technologies, there is a smooth continuum for scaling. You don't even need to assume there is an ISP to seed! All you need is LANs. But if you want to do big things, you can harness the power of thousands of peers all streaming something that they're into.

>Just a reminder that anyone can issue credit.

This is what annoys with me with all the cryptocurrencies. They try to recreate the economics of gold as a money, a money whose supply is fixed. Modern money is a ledger who owes how much. That has no fixed supply. So we would need a cryptocurrency whose supply is not fixed but what anyone can create. Of course, there are challenges there to make it work...

These are complex consumer taxing drip feeds of information, upgrades, service faults, repair services and so forth. It seems to mostly feed dumps.

Slightly industrial grade hardware is often field repairable. I go for new or refurbed durable low depreciation tools worth mastering. Emacs, weather sealed camera gear or even cookware are examples.

Otherwise I use low power almost disposable Chromebook, Chromecast and Moto-G away from a Linux box with cheap reasonable dumb screens and bluetooth speakers.

The haptics of consumer tools are churned far too easily for business models. Windows XP showed how too slowly depreciating good enough assets in the field upset vendors. Constant maintenance and futzing are taxes outside actually advancing any state of the art. I don't drive living in a midstory DC building together saving about +50% of typical American transport and HVAC power budgets.

The linked PDF talks about how, 50+ years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared an "unconditional war on poverty in America."

Yet as of the publication date, 31st December 2006, data indicate that more than 12 percent of U.S. residents still live below the poverty line.

For 2006, a family of four was considered in poverty if its annual income fell below $20,444. For a couple under age 65, the poverty threshold was $13,500, and for an individual living alone, it was $10,488.

GP asked

> Is anyone in the western world that's not leaning conservative looking to dismantle their healthcare system?

It's important to be honest about this: the conservative party have made the decision to de-fund the NHS and in real terms they've considerably cut funding for the NHS. This is even more true when you look at the changes to the NHS and the collapse in social care.

the changes were splitting out public health (eg, sexual health, drug and alcohol rehab, suicide prevention) to local authorities. Collapse in social care was caused by defunding LAs.

I'm thinking this is more of an example of what NOT to do; it's inconsistent and destroys confidence, which in turn makes the user mistrust the author through repeated mistakes and eventually quit. I would argue that far, far more people have fallen to that than some author-instilled urge to continue on due to confidence and ego.

For example:

"2 + 1 = ?": you are expected to answer with a number to complete the equation. The question mark is a good cue -- you know to answer with a number and not, for example, "addition".

"5 x 7 = ?": the same formula as before. You now safely assume that math -- especially math with a "?" after an equals sign -- should be answered with a number.

After that, it degenerates into vague riddles where you're left to guess at the intentions of the author, quite literally. The first place this becomes immediately frustrating is: "2,3,5,7,11,13,17 What are they called?"

Early versions of this game omitted the second line, leading people to guess "19" as a continuation of the prime sequence.

Other popular answers are "prime" or "primes", but the ONLY acceptable answer is "prime numbers." There is no clue leading to the acceptable answer and the only possible way to get it is trial and error or sheer luck.

Primed by that, we face the next problem: "3.14159265..."

Given past history, we can guess that the author either wants us to continue the sequence (unlikely, given the lack of _ or ? cues) or name the sequence. This would be much clearer with the addition of the words "What is" at the beginning -- this is frustrating BY DESIGN, not clever BECAUSE OF design.

A great example of this is the VERY NEXT problem: "1+2+3+...+999+1000"

Given the previous cues (? or _ to show a numerical answer is required, ... to show a sequence to be named), the expectation is that this should be named... however, the author really wants the sum of integers 1-1000. Again, this could have been solved easily with a simple, CONSISTENT cue.

Imagine trying to onboard users and you just say "a date box" without any indication of what they're supposed to use it for or what the consequences of it are.

This game does not build any confidence and should not be likened to good UX design at all.
Nobody is saying we can't or shouldn't have servers.

"But who's going to pay for servers to retain random peoples' and companies' web detritus?"

The same people who do this now. Because nothing in this scheme says you can't have servers just like you do now.

The difference is that you don't need a server to get started collaborating. If you want to host something to have it available offline, that's a built in feature. If you and some friends want to host an event invite, grass roots, you can do that. No need for facebook, no need for big cloud platforms. Share around a web page. People will host it while it's needed.

Personally I'm more into dat than IPFS... but they each of their own use cases. I like stuff that's not going to be "permanent". There is plenty of room for stuff like that. Not everything has to be in some permanent public record for all time. We need more accessible ways to share stuff like that. We need good ways to share stuff privately. Skip this ridiculous idea that Mark Zuckerberg should be privy to everybody's private, personal information. No thanks. Share that stuff on LANs, on encrypted p2p connections. Keep it nearby.

If you want to publish, that's what IPFS is for. And if you want it to stick around, invest the resources to make sure there are servers, whether they be on digital ocean or a bunch of raspberry pi's plugged into you and your friends' walls, that are seeding it. That's on you as someone who's committed to publishing information.
