That's a proposal, one, and, two, it doesn't mention anything about diamonds being tracked that way, only other ores. An important thing to do, but not entirely relevant to the discussion at hand.

My knowledge comes from my knowledge of what people have said about Brilliant Earth, which charges a premium based on the notion that its diamonds come from Canada.

https://iwantwhatitsworth.com/blog/brilliant-earth-diamond-s...

> Small problem: Everyone who’s worked in the diamond industry—for more than a week—knows tracking diamonds all the way to the mine is flat out impossible.

The only other info I can find says that diamonds could theoretically be tracked, but not in any way which implies they'd be tracked chemically, just that they could be tracked through a supply chain, in a way ultimately dependent on the goodwill and honesty of the diamond industry

https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/brilliant-earth-...

> Second, the video is incorrect when it states baldly, “Diamonds can’t be tracked.” It is true, there is nothing gemologically in a diamond that offers any proof of origin, as there sometimes is with colored stones. But there is no reason that diamonds can’t be tracked. Bananas are tracked. Coffee is tracked.

> If a manufacturer buys directly from a specific mine, establishing a diamond’s origin should be relatively easy. All it has to do is segregate those specific goods and then make its systems open to audit. For an extra 2 to 3 percent, I can’t imagine many manufacturers would have much problem doing that. (There are probably some manufacturers that would eat the diamonds if it meant an extra 2 to 3 percent. But that’s another story.)

> So just because diamonds haven’t been tracked traditionally doesn’t mean that is not possible—or that companies aren’t currently doing it. In addition to Brilliant Earth, the Forevermark, Canadamark, and Rio Tinto’s new Canadian and Australian diamond programs all make provenance claims.

I think I've made my case as to why I doubt this would be sufficient.

Caddy is written in a memsafe language.

(I don't use caddy, but I always saw the "HTTPS by default" thing more as a nice thing to have, but not hugely important given that you can have the same with external scripts in apache or nginx. But being memsafe is the real distinguisher and one that certainly isn't reachable with a pull req in apache or nginx.)
The annoying part is doing the database lookups to check for collisions / canonicalization, so what would your lib be generalizing?

Bosch is the brand. Don't remember the exact series number, but its the most expensive model typically available in Home Depot or places like that. I don't want to slander them too much, because the product really is quiet, and very durable. But those ended up being the least important factors for me.
I personally only ever used SES for forgot password notifications. My mailing list is really small right now but if I had large lists I'd probably run it myself using SES and pay for a private outbound IP. The costs aren't outrageous - $25/mo.
I miss the days when you had to live off the manpages and vendor packages. As a former Solaris admin in a defence sector company, we were 100% airgapped. Mobile phones were handed in as you walked into the security office. None of that github internet stuff, no googling a problem.

The place had literally piles of OReilly books and that was it. Those were gold.

Yes, if it isn't your sibling, high school chum or college roommate, putting everything in writing up front is generally the best policy. Even if it is one of those categories, a contract is very valuable should some problem arise.
I’m an illustrator, have an iPad Pro and a high-end Wacom. Work with a lot of people in the animation industry. No one is regularly using iPads for anything besides sketching/toying with ideas.

If Apple made a big push to improve their hardware, get full blown Photoshop with Adobe’s brush engine, this could conceivably change. Everything’s too piecemeal right now though. File management is still terrible, Photoshop brushes are only available in Adobe’s terrible apps, lots of Bluetooth buginess from app to app, inconsistent UI patterns etc. The newest Procreate update and Affinity designer are pretty cool, but it’s still not there yet.

Andy, is it a coincidence or have some features of Zig been inspired by Go? More specifically: defer, the syntax for the array type with [] as a prefix instead of a suffix, and the syntax for array literals.

This is the current average size of tuna now, from what I gather. The average size 50 years back was much bigger. In 1979 a guy caught a bluefin of around 1,500 lbs. Tuna are big fish.

> If you stole a candy at age 14 from a local store, it is surprise to label you "criminal" at age 35 no?

Where is this point coming from? If you got caught stealing candy at age 14, you're not going to become a convicted felon. NEVER. When you commit an armed robbery, I think it's fair to label someone as a former criminal.
Anyone who's ever touched bitcoin or run a node is risking prison time. It's luck that running a node didn't get your door kicked in by the feds for being an unlicensed money transmitter. At a certain point you just stop caring and hope they can't lock up everyone. Seems to be working so far.

That works OK as a deterrent against (some) individuals, but there are numerous historical examples of its failure to scale.

your logic makes no sense.

You don't necessarily have to redirect, but you should at least include `<link rel="canonical" href="..." />` (as given example StackOverflow does) so that search robots and other website (scrape and/or API) clients know which one is the canonical path, to avoid duplicate efforts.

Those obligations we have are their rights. Really, go set fire to a horse and see what the courts do to you. The courts punish you because the animal had a right to not suffer and you'd have violated them.

I hunt and fish, so I'm not a granola munching hippy. Yet, animals still have rights. I can hunt and kill a deer. I can't hunt and kill a deer by intentionally causing excessive pain. There are laws against that. Those laws are the animal's rights.
The problem with incremental improvements is you have to keep backwards compatibility. This is a big issue when it comes to keywords. For instance this is valid C#:

using async = Task<string>;
class BadIdea {
public async async async(async async) { }
}
Quite, but my point is that good enough is sufficient for many real-world purposes, as opposed to theoretical ones.
Duplicate the means of production. If we really end up in a world where robots make the products and robots make the robots, then the means of production are information products that can be copied like software. (And there will be open source robots too, but copying without permission is the fallback position if commercial robots are too patent-encumbered to reimplement by legal means.)

I get that, but an account “reset” is always possible. Even if Google encrypted all of your mail and other content with a key you exclusively control, it would always be possible to simply drop the encrypted data, update all keys/passwords, and regain access to any incoming email. This is a smaller attack surface but still significant.

It’s also not actually possible to be an email provider and have no access to read plaintext and the point of send and receive. It can be encrypted at rest but you have to allow read for transmit which means a Googler working for the “spooks” could simply intercept there instead of at rest.
For example: "The motivation for this design philosophy is to enable users to write any manner of custom allocator strategy they find necessary, instead of forcing them or even encouraging them into a particular strategy that may not suitable for their needs. For example, Rust seems to encourage a single global allocator strategy, which is not suitable for many usecases such as OS development and high-performance game development."
I think you're extrapolating a lot: this person is the exception, not the rule.
The area between Jarvis and University/York is pretty unpleasant to walk around once you're south of Front, in my opinion. Walking in the rest of the city is quite nice.

I suppose it can be attributed to the expressway being there, but shit - I dread visiting the area on foot.
why do people think coding bootcamps are a replacement for a CS degree? 99% of successful bootcamp grads already have a previous Bachelor's degree and use the bootcamp as a career changer.

We're close with Michelin-star sushi chef and he's never tried to hide the fact that all of their fish has been frozen at some point. He finds it odd that diners care about it so much, but he's also of the opinion that all fish tastes better after it's been dead for at least a day. Certain fish even tastes best after a few days frozen.
It was some article here on HN a while back that framed this much better for me.

It's NOT that Robots are going to take all the jobs, it's that automation and productivity advances are going to reduce the people necessary by a drastic degree.

There's lots of stats like Ikea factories making 17x the bookcases they did in 1985 but with the same number of staff. But even in our technical and development niche, look at something like Instagram. They went from idea to billions of users with what a decade ago would have been a laughably small staff.

The future is the top 10% of staff executing with an army of automated services at their command to do the work that 90% of their colleagues used to do.

We're just more clever at subsidizing Boeing in ways that don't look like a subsidy.

For example, the Air Force bid that was about to be won by Airbus got re-spec'd in order to match the requirements with what Boeing happened to provide (number of engines, iirc).

I actually find refactoring legacy code to be one of the most challenging things I do at work.

While I definitely wouldn't want to do that for all 40 hours of work I wouldn't classify refactoring as "remedial".
> Hell, I wrote a Terraform competitor that was certainly no worse at planning than Terraform is.

So why is Terraform so popular instead of your tool? :)

Both approaches have tradeoffs, and what you've mentioned are clearly advantages of the full-PL config style. The problem with a full-blown programming language, though, is that the flexibility makes it more difficult to reason about effects without actually running the code. If you're just using it to generate a declarative data model that then gets applied, you're still doing fully declarative management, just with extra steps.

It's not _necessarily_ a good thing to have something like if conditionals in a provisioning system either - the goal with these systems is usually to reduce uncertainty about outcomes, not multiply the # of branches you need to reason about. Ultimately I agree Terraform has issues with restrictions of HCL, but I don't think I'd say choosing a programming language instead of a purely declarative style is a no-brainer.

What do you mean, 'waiting to fail'? How long should we wait? A decade? Two decades? The success of reddit would seem to be at odds with your opinion.
My family uses dropbox because of the platform support. And using one drive for personal stuff, and having a business account can be pretty messy from what I've seen.

I have extra storage with google for my photos but I keep my dropbox account for keeping important stuff on every device. In fact I find Dropbox works better on my Android devices than google drive.
Search for emails should be the same between the 2. But I believe Gmail will search other things (like Hangouts chats and maybe other products), while Inbox's search just does email.
I upvoted you because I didn't know that delicious.com was del.icio.us.com until I read the comments.
I am in your situation. I've been working on a MVP and I'm close to release this software.

But I met an investor, interested to invest, who asked me if I have a team or any plans. So they expect us to have a team. I'm the kind of freedom guy, thats why Im in business, dont want a boss, not going for the money.

But there is a problem with success. I fear that if it will be successful, I'll have to partner with a CTO as I'm not the stronger tech guy. And I will not have time to do everything myself.

What I thought about is to contact people I read on the internet, anywhere on the internet. Its likely that they have a job but you never know. If they have time to write on the internet maybe they are not that busy. And I identified someone that I would like to partner with if needed.

This idea with dating a co-founder would be very useful. Even if you dont find or need a co-founder, just to meet like minded people is good. I'm happy I answered you because I understand you.
(I like the discusssion about morality as well, but can't fit it into the discussion about the best system. Therefore it follows in a second comment.)

It's really hard to argue that way for me. How do you set the limit between the never existing utopia, and the best realistic society? This is the fourth version of a response and each previous one included a description of how I see utopia.

If we accept that no matter what utopia we describe, it will never happen, then I think whatever is already there is the best that can be there. To define a difference we would also need to show how to change the current situation to get there. I don't think that is possible.

Taking a card game metapher: You can reshuffle, you can give different people different cards, you can rename the cards. But you can't decide to play a board game instead. To get to the top of skillful card playing, one would need to be a really good card player. So we can assume that all people at the top are good card players. But once you are at the top the incentive to change the system decreases, because you gain most from the existing system. Also you are a really good card player. Changing to board games may even decrease your success rate. It is the logical conclusion, and therefore probably the best that can be.

How would you describe the best system but exclude utopia?

Successfully copying another country's technology is very hard and if you can do that you can usually start innovating when the vein runs out. The US got its industrial start by stealing British power loom designs. For many years Japan had a reputation as a bunch of copycats who couldn't innovate.

I can think of lots of examples where one country tried to copy another's technology and failed to produce a successful industry. And I can think of a number which copied successfully then went on to innovate. But I'm not sure I can think of any countries which did a good job at copying technology then failed to go on to start innovating.
NB: that is sorta true right now (as the sentence says, "seems to"), but it's also an area of active work; we don't expect Rust to end up that way.

To elaborate a bit:

Right now, the standard library relies on an allocator. The language itself does not. If you want to write your own types and back them up by your own allocator, you can 100% do that today. But that doesn't help you with any of the stuff in the stdlib.

We have work on:

1. A trait for allocation, so that allocators can have the same APIs. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32838

2. Swapping out that allocator entirely, wholesale. Tor and Firefox both want this. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27389

3. Allowing you to swap out the allocator of stdlib types on a per-instance basis; this almost had an RFC for the needed machinery, but was postponed. Will probably come up again in the coming year after #1 & #2 get resolved.
Surely that only means the price will rise to become an exotic delicacy, rather than "gone"?
Because those projects are very conservative about making things default. Apache famously has (had now?) bad defaults that no one should use, just for compatibility reasons.

Keep in mind that caddy is not only https by default, it's HTTP/2 by default as well. How long until that is by default in Apache?

And I don't think those are even the killer features of Caddy. They are the things that drive people in, but the real killer feature is how easy it is to configure.
I appreciate my own experience is only anecdotal evidence but I see people using them all the time. It is mostly homeless people who use it to make phone calls but I've often seen people charging devices.

They used to be used a lot more but I heard they started blocking video so the homeless couldn't use it to watch inappropriate content.
A good friend worked at Bombardier until recently and I got the full sales pitch and walkthrough of a model of one of these planes a couple of years ago at an overseas airshow. They were really nice and had some innovative features. Unfortunately, this was a big bet by Bombardier and it failed. "They are fucked" were his words, when I asked him about it today.

Not sure where people discussing this as a US vs CA or that this is somehow a win are getting those ideas from.
This is incorrect. Both Apple laptops and mice support right-click out of the box. You can configure it from the System Settings -> Mouse / Trackpad.

Public folders for legacy users were supported for several years after new users stopped getting the feature. The actual number of people still accessing public links after those years was quite low...

But yea, it certainly sucks to have to remove functionality, especially from such long time and loyal users. I just want to make the argument that this wasn't done to somehow trick people into upgrading their plans, but with the goal of creating a better product (which sometimes means a simpler product).

edit: For a timeline breakdown...accounts created after late 2012 stopped getting public folders. Public folders for legacy users kept working until March of this year. That's ~4.5 years of support for a feature only accessible to legacy accounts. They certainly did not foresee Dropbox Professional when they made the decision to stop creating more public folders. https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/public-folder
