My anecdote. When I was deep in programming I tended not to listen to music I really liked but ones with a fairly steady volume & pace and also quite rhythmic. Dance music such as The Shamen worked well. I wouldn't be actively listening and enjoying the music but if I needed a little mental break I could mentally drop into the music without the risk of losing my thought train.

When concentrating I often listen to classical piano now, composers such as Erik Satie.

I found the modern music was great for coding but if I was writing the classical was better, I suppose the vocals muddled my language train for writing.

Yes, we do. The ecosystem is great and microservice architecture may be manageable even in small teams, but it's always a process that defines the success. From my own experience, the biggest technical problem of microservices in Java can be the performance of the whole system (in a monolith there's much less logging and state management, no network latencies and mismatching parallelism settings). Discovery, auth, messaging, configuration management etc are solved.

It's very interesting to take apart some typical American fast food like McDonalds or Subway and taste it bit by bit, cleansing your pallet as you go. The bread is literally as sweet as an iced bun or something. Most of the individual components are tasteless with only things like sauces and pickles providing flavour.

I've noticed the same thing in supermarket sandwiches and things in the UK. The one place I haven't noticed it is France. You can buy a sandwich from a railway station or something there and it will actually taste good.
I used to do the same but in analog way when I moved to the Netherlands. The weather there affected so much my mood that I started to keep track of it together with the daily color of the sky.

I kept a big paper sheet next to my bed with a bunch of pencils.
The problem I realized later on is that mood changes quite a lot during the day, so just checking once a day might not be very representative.

I had "the diary" for 4 or 5 months until I moved out to a sunnier place :)
The system knows the weight of the grain container before the customer takes any grain.

It also knows the weight of the container after the customer takes some, so it's not too hard to figure out how much was taken.

There will be exceptions where this is not the case (e.g. grain accidentally spills), but it will work 99.9% of the time, and then as the article mentions, for the other times there will be an attendant to sort out any issues.

Beyond the pay itself is also the financial anguish and unnecessary work the employees might have to go through if there is a missed car-payment or loan-payment or down-payment on a house...

If the future of grocery shopping is between grocery delivery that you order over the Internet (linked to your account and browsing habits) or using such a surveillance store, the privacy implications are probably not that different either way. Privacy is already in a bad enough state that stores like that probably don't make a big difference anymore either. They are just more creepy because commerce exclusive to the 'real world' seemed like the last safe haven for privacy (provided you were able to pay in cash and didn't use loyalty cards or other offline cookies).

I also can't help but think that they just put those employees there for PR reasons. No matter how Amazon tries to spin it, a majority of jobs will be lost. Maybe that's inevitable, but then we should face it instead of pretending you can just put them somewhere else in your automated store.

Limiting free speech may not be your intention, but it's exactly what's going to happen when you remove transparency.

We have a similar this situation in Germany right now. A private corporation designated by the government can delete Facebook posts as they see fit under the guise of hate speech. Facebook had to agree, because they'll be hit with fines if they don't.

What should be controlled by law is now in the hands of a corporation and they are quietly removing content that is clearly not illegal.

Removing transparency is a dream come true for corrupt institutions.

Without knowing the specifics: renting land from the feds inside a national park is not entirely the same as renting land from a private person in a commercial zone.

From a park-management perspective services offered inside a national park close when the park closes. The park-restaurant doesn't get to reopen that park or its services any more than the hotdog vendors force Wrigley Field to open on the weekdays...

Just like a mall closing for safety reasons: even though there is a buck to be made there are also liabilities and requirements. If the park isn't offering its rangers/personnel/management/responsibility then they don't want to be simultaneously advertising to the public that they're open for food sales. They're not open, they're closed.

> If you really want to fight the root of the problem, it's not likes and comments, but education.

I agree, but it's impossible to educate everyone on any subject. I think in this case, people who are experts in the matter, should give a reputation rating on the article. That would be really great. For example, I am no expert in theoretical physics, but I may enjoy an article about it, but how do I know it's not a bunch of bullshit I am reading? If I see that Stephen Hawking gave it a 5 star reputable source rating, I "know" I can believe it.
There's some bias to this, though. Good management is much more "everything and everybody just seemingly by if self seems to be more or less in the right place" and less "Steve Jobs screaming at everybody about rounded corners and then everybody realising five years later that this is actually a much bigger deal than everbody except Jobs saw at the time" -- in other words, pretty invisible.
That bit sounds to me like Intel is trying to pull a "Volkswagen": have it perform better in benchmarks than in real life (when hopefully secure execution will be enabled).

Yeah, I also recommend doing this for user generated content as well. Also, once you have this you can set infinite expiry, and remove the must-revalidate cache headers saving you a bunch of 304s

or if preserving the user's filename is important /<sha256>/<random garbage from user>.txt

Your users will keep the same filename in different directories and randomly clobber your service for you.

It's a good article, but touches on a pet peeve on mine:

It bothers me when people who have written C or C++ mention lifetimes as a novel concept. What's novel is that in Rust the compiler cares about lifetimes. As a concept, though, lifetimes aren't novel and thinking about lifetimes conceptually is essential to writing C or C++ that's correct enough that it can be exposed to untrusted input. It's great that the Rust compiler relieves this cognitive load on the programmer compared to C and C++ leaving it up to the programmer to take care of.

20 minutes?

In France we have these manual scanners that you can carry around the supermarket and scan items as you put them in your bag. Then when you exit the store, semi-randomly an employee will rescan part of your items, or all of them (it happens more often if you often forget to scan things - which can happen, but it can also be wilful shoplifting of course). Then you pay and the gate opens.

Most of the time it does take about 30 seconds, also you don't have to get your stuff out of your bag and you know all along how much you're going to pay.

I think I haven't used the regular lines for years.
It's been 40 years or so since I read TAOCP in any depth. But you seem pretty familiar with it, so I'll ask you the following, maybe you remember:

I think it was somewhere in Volumes 1, 2 or 3 (but maybe an entirely different book not even by Knuth) where one of the exercises says something like:

19. M50 ...solve this quite complex problem .... For the instructor who assigns all odd numbered exercises.

A little bit of humor in an otherwise quite dry set of books.
Because it forces you to handle edge cases.

Java is also harder than JavaScript because of this.

Yes, the edge cases Rust forces you to handle are different than those of Java and probably make more sense to solve, but I think this is still the root of the "problem".

While edge cases are part of "the rule" they feel like exceptions of it.

Most of the time you write 80% of the program code in 20% of the time and the remaining 20% eats 80% of the time because of the edge cases.

In many cases you can simply ignore the edge cases, because well they will fail, but nobody cares 90% of the time. If the remaining 10% make too much problems, invest some time in workarounds, but 10% of the remaining 20% isn't that much, so this often will cost you also just 10% of the 80% of time.

If you can't ignore edge cases in your software, because even a 2% chance of people getting injured is a huge problem, you use Rust and fight with these cases.

It turned out that Linus had confused "IBRS" and "IBPB". That seems to me that he didn't understand it.

I'm not sure why saying "I don't understand this" would confer _incompetence_ rather than just not understanding. Understanding is easily gained with good communication. The original patch set clearly doesn't explain the point of the patches well, and everyone gets things wrong as well. There's no shame in saying "I don't understand this", it's not a final statement equivalent to "I will never be able to understand this".

Uh, no, "irrational" is defined as a subset of real numbers.
I went through university not knowing how to study, and as a result, I now have a "worthless" degree. One thing is, that the university and the degrees I took was a joke. 3-6 hours of "class" (100+ people crammed into an auditorium), no graded homework or feedback during semesters, and examns was just handing in 12-15 pages of analysis, and then getting a grade on my report sheet. No contact with educators, no counselling, guidance or otherwise interaction with lecturers, educators or other staff at the university. I could sit a home 30 hours a week and still get my "degree". Basically no feedback from the university on how I did, where I was heading etc.

For me, this means I made a lot of stupid choices. For one, I never understood the degree I took, but relentlessly kept on "fighting", as I thought that it _had_ to make sense to me someday. It never did. Swapped studies during my masters, but got into a "soft" IT-programme that didn't resonate with me either. As a result, I never learned to study, because I would get stressed out that the material never really made sense to me. I couldn't connect it to anything in the real world (and perhaps more important to me - no job postings ever seemed to ask for the skills I was acquiring).

Today, two years after i finished with an A+ (I wonder how...), and average grades in general, I have a galloping depression, and just wish that I could do it all over. No doubt I was perhaps immature or used to be a "natural talent" through high school, and therefore thought University was just passing examns. That hurts me a lot, and I have a hard time letting that thought go. I don't think anyone will ever be able to convince me, that the university or classes I went to was working as intended however. In my mind, education cannot solely be based on people reading and writing for themselves.

I wish someone would have shown me a guide like that when I started, and helped me manage my ambitions and performance a bit more throughout university. I'm now a worthless member of society, even though I have a degree. I don't think anyone is happy with the outcome, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one to blame. At least thats what I keep telling myself.

As Zalastax was saying, by the standards of Coq, Rust doesn't have a strict mindset.

Rust isn't the first language to emphasise correctness. We've had Ada for decades, but it's not taken over the world.

Going to the extreme, full-bore formal methods will never be taught as introductory material on programming courses for the masses, but they will continue to be taught at good universities.

I'm not sure this is a bad thing. For most applications, ad-hoc develop-and-test makes good sense. RAD is important in some domains. Both formal methods and highly strict languages have their downsides.

There's more to correctness than language, of course. A shift toward correctness could be as simple as encouraging students to put runtime asserts in their Java code.

"Mamothhunter of Lies"
How ITIL started
"Sugar" usually means sucrose which contains both glucose and fructose. They do have very different effects and fructose is much worse. But in the majority of products you find both together. Glucose (aka dextrose) is much less sweet and used in things like energy drinks. Fructose on its own is more sweet than sucrose and used in "naturally light" products (same sweetness, few calories, no artificial sweeteners). But in an average intake you're going to find glucose and fructose in roughly equal amounts, I think.
