The former you should talk about the difference between tolerable and good. There’s a lot of people who have a very low bar for Good Enough and no definition of Good at all.

Agree.
Moreover, Rust compiler contains some dark areas which nobody wants to deal with. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/38528 for example. Basically it means that Rust compiler can suddenly take exponential time and space for compilation.

That bug really bites hard any code heavy on iterators (Rust often praised feature!). It has reliable reproduce test-case, but still it's already year old and was down-prioritized!

Hard to believe anybody uses Rust for real large project given so little attention to crucial details.

Easy to dismiss, but the only difference between my experience and their ARM fiasco, is that I had an 18 month period to realize my payments were only going up, AND I had the additional income to refinance into a fixed rate loan.

It's very easy to blow this off as a 'caveat emptor' thing. Doing so GREATLY misses the point.

It's now virtually impossible for a young couple in Denver to afford anything OTHER than renting. The market is pricing homeownership completely out of reach to a VAST majority of the population.
It's not undefeatable. The guy who invented it in 1970's, Paul Karger, told people the concepts on how to defeat it right afterward. Their advice for building systems in a way to catch a lot of subversion was encoded in the first standards for information security. I included most of those methods in my security framework here:

One compiler made to the highest standard in development assurance is CompCert.

http://compcert.inria.fr/

It has specs of everything it does, proofs it does it in tool with minimalist checker, extracts to ML that can be compared against those specs in various ways (eg visually), can optionally be compiled with a mini-ML compiler or Scheme you homebrew yourself, and passed exhaustive testing by third party with only a few bugs in specs (not code). There's another using formal specs called KCC which could be ported to something bootstrappable like META II or Scheme.

The other requirement from TCSEC was that source be supplied to customer to build with their onsite, trusted tools. I looked into even having compilers done in Perl since it's already widely deployed. David A. Wheeler made brilliant suggestion of either bash or awk. I have put tools for those and more on rain1's bootstrapping page. rain1 or someone there called the concept "Ubiquitous Implementations." Note we've focused on technical content, not presentation, on that one being busy folks. Looks rough. :)

You also need repo security to protect that source with it either cryptographically sealed and/or sent over secure transport. Link below on repo security from David A. Wheeler. Quite a few forms of transport security now.

After Thompson wrote on Karger's attack in 1980's, it took a life of its own among people that continue to mostly ignore the prior solutions. It's a problem absolutely solved to death starting with the person who discovered it in MULTICS Security Evaluation. Far as state-of-the-art, the current path of research is exploring how to integrate solutions for many languages, models, or levels of detail in one picture of a system with no abstraction gap attacks with proof of that for all inputs. That's a bit more complex but just an imperative language to assembly delivered and bootstrapped? Straight-forward but tedious, time-consuming work the first time it's done. :) Also, expensive if you buy CompCert which is only free for GPL stuff. Two of us are eyeballed CakeML's lowest-level languages as a cheat around that for verified bootstrapping.

EDIT: Btw, all that is technical discussion and argument. For fun, you might enjoy the story "Coding Machines" which is about only coding-related story I started reading and couldn't put down. Probably took an hour to read. It covers discovery of a Karger-Thompson-style attack along with how people might respond mentally and in terms of solutions. Some other stuff in that one.

Exactly. The difficult part of creating these kind of value systems isn't just providing more beneficial incentives. It's also about providing the right combination of incentives that remove (as much as possible) any malicious intentions.

> Once those investors have tripled their investment and grown bored speculating

Can you point out to any example in history where an institutional investor has gotten out of investing because they have grown bored, and the profits they have are enough for them?
Intuitively it might make sense to add the probabilities, but it doesn't actually work out that way[0]. The parent used the law of total probability to solve for the probability of hitting at least once because it's simpler:

P(hits >= 1) = 1 - P(hits = 0).

Solving for the left side of the equation directly gets trickier:

P(hits >= 1) = P(hits = 1) + P(hits = 2) + ... + P(hits = k)

P(hits = 1) = 100 chose 1 * 0.01^1 * 0.99^99
...
p(hits = n) = 100 chose n * 0.01^n *0.99^(100-n)

Taking that sum where n=100 yields the same as

1 - P(hits = 0)
= 1 - (100 chose 0 *0.1^0 *0.99^100)
= 1 - 0.99^100

This is too often the case. However, what it does is leaves the ask unasked. When a specific ask isn't made, with everyone's high workloads, it allows everyone just to shrug and say "Okay, not my problem." If you allow someone to interpret that nothing was actually asked of them, that's exactly how it will be interpreted more often than you would like.

If you need someone to take up the cause you have identified, you need to specifically ask them so they have to say "No, I'm not going to do that" if they're not going to pick it up. This is as much for their benefit as yours. When someone must say "Yes, I will do that" or "No, I will not do that" it helps them draw a black and white line around what they are willing or not willing to take on as part of their job. In a world where boundaries are grey, life itself is grey, it's hard to have a feeling of completion in anything. When you have no sense of completion, it leaves you feeling like you never really accomplish anything and being pushed with the current, not in charge of your own destiny.

Help people to say "Yes, that is mine" and "No, that is not mine" it is not only helpful for you to know who is in charge of something, it is helpful for them as well. It will help them to say "Actually, I've got too much on my plate already, I don't have any more capacity to take on any more just now. It would be really helpful if you could ask someone else to take this on."

The market is a horrible contrivance, and insurance is fundamentally unworkable in a market, unlike actual services and products where you know what you're getting and when you'll need it…

But that said, do you have even the tiniest bit of evidence that insurers actually do what you're saying in order to keep their costs up per ACA requirements??

There's all sorts of shenanigans in the industry, but your speculation sounds far-fetched. Remember Hanlon's Razor…

When the whole story with Apple happened, Adobe eventually created a native code backend for Flash.

And for a while they even had a C/C++ compiler for the Flash VM.

So if they really cared, it isn't something that should be too hard for them.

Failing that, it might be an interesting project for a compiler hacker without ideas.

In any case, I see it more like preserving many of the games written in Flash.

We have similar issues. The MVP concept is taken to an extreme; proof of concepts are created, used, but never iterated on.

I can relate to the last bit too; it also feels bad when you know people are looking down at your "lack of productivity" when you're just trying to slow down a bit to build maintainable software.

This tragedy of the commons can be solved on the oceans as we've solved it on land, by property rights.

Iceland and New Zealand have decent systems in place, and have a healthy sustainable populations that they harvest.

The basic idea is that if you own the fishing rights to a certain area, it is profitable to let the population grow big before you harvest it. Thus greed motivates conservation.
The correct solution to the problem this supposedly addresses is for companies to get their security act together. Until they can do that, they cannot be considered competent enough in security to 'hack back' anyway, and instead of hiring specialists to do it for them, they should be hiring specialists to fix their security.
A year or two ago I worked on a project with the idea that ads are going to slowly phase out on at least video - instead the influence will be from product placement and the purchase process (which was the part I was working on) would be incredibly easy to do with minimal and voluntary interruption of viewing. I still think that's the way things are going to go.

I write code on personal projects every day. Sometimes when time is an issue it's just a single line bug fix or an update to some documentation, but regardless I get a little green square on my Github graph every day. It has two important effects. Firstly, it means I have to keep coming up with new things to write code for to stop it getting boring, so I explore a new things a lot. Secondly, it's made me think about how I can stop wasting time when I code, and how I can use my tools better. I've been doing it for about 200 days now, and I've definitely improved already (this is after being a developer for 20 years so far).

> For another (although related), I think they encourage abstract code of the kind that was common in Java frameworks like Spring, which took Java a long time to discourage in favor of simpler, more concrete code, YAGNI etc.

I see the fact that Spring was immensely popular in Java for a while as demonstrating just the opposite: that overgeneralisation and second-system effect happen to everyone, even in a language whose design philosophy was oriented towards avoiding it. I see Java's adoption of generics and lambdas as acknowledgement that omitting those features didn't help encourage simpler code, it just made complex code even worse. I think it's the same for HKT and similar abstraction tools.
I do something similar... though I haven't had reason to set myself a goal. I usually read 2-3 books per week, though. (I count a re-read, because some stories are mental comfort food.)

Actually I have books that I read in different places. There's a copy of All The Songs (the story of every Beatles song) in the bathroom, for instance. I only read a few pages at a time... which is just fine with me. I wouldn't be inspired to bring that book into the living room. On the other hand, I read cookbooks most often when sitting at the dining room table. (And I read a lot of cookbooks.)

Google Kids Coding Logic Example
FYI: Chrome did the same thing with the OS Security.

On Windows and on most OSs, software is installed in a location that the standard user doesn't have write access to, and you require root/admin authorization to install. Chrome bypasses the OS security by installing itself in a way so that it can auto-install software/updates without the explicit consent of the user. If all software did this, it would soon be a security nightmare.

I'm not sure you can say that gold is used in jewellery solely because it is valuable. Gold has physical properties being nonreactive and soft enough to be worked without large scale machinery that makes it a perfect material for making shiny jewellery out by a single skilled artisan. Add in an element of rarity/scarcity and it's pretty much a virtuous circle for why gold is used in jewellery.

If the price of gold was to collapse tomorrow, it's use in jewellery would continue without pause.
How to Scrape Instagram Profiles with Golang
That is a total strawman argument buddy.

The argument "gun ownership serves as a deterrent of crime and has been known to spoil criminal endeavours, therefore we should allow citizens to carry guns" has never been about vigilantism. Vigilante behavior is actually a quick way to get yourself locked up and/or your permit revoked.

There is a BIG difference between defending your home with a firearm, and looking up a thief and paying him a visit with a gun in hand. Likewise there is a BIG difference between keeping attackers out of your servers and collecting thorough forensic evidence, and going all out guns blazing with your 0day collection trying to outhack the hacker.

Is there historical precedent for something to be as widely accepted as gold, which isn't considered valuable today?
I don't see why the "issues" with the <video> tag couldn't be fixed in the video tag?

"Autoplay video is used for ads and thus controlled by browsers" (and <img> video won't have the same development?!) and "<video> can't be saved" (yes, if you use a JavaScript player that interferes with it, if you just link in a file through a <video> tag at least FF and Chrome do have a save option) seem especially nonsensical.

I guess there is some semantic argument for "videos that should act like images", but I somehow doubt that'll happen nicely...

I've never really understood this. I previously had figured that the popularity of GIFs on reddit had been about bandwidth and load times. In that past, video would be too slow for the rapid novelty stimulus reddit offered, while GIFs were lightening. But now every "GIF" people post is a just full movie, and it loads more slowly than YouTube or other websites that are smartly structured to handle video.

Why do they do this?
Yeah, but mp4 saves on bandwidth and is buffered vs gifs.

Doctors and pharmaceutical companies are supposed to help you be healthy, but make more if you're ill long-term.

Banks, credit card companies, and brokerages all make more money if you make poor financial decisions (fees, interest, and active trading, respectively).

Auto mechanics and car companies make money if your car doesn't work or doesn't last past the warranty period.

Even piano teachers only make money if you continue needing lessons, rather than becoming able to learn on your own.

Hopefully enlightened businesses will follow the model that customer referrals are more scalable than bleeding the money out of any one individual.
https://blog.imgur.com/2014/10/09/introducing-gifv/ has some of the details.

It definitely makes sense technically. It should in most cases reduce file size, and also allows you to stream content in buffered so you don't need to wait for the whole thing to load for it to play.

hmm, perhaps, but historically you couldn't and so this combination of historical data, etc. as well as physical properties is what gives it value. But, yes, because of the issues you are talking about, going forward we should expect gold to be a bad investment, not a good investment.
