I was one of the evaluation team members at a large management consulting firm during their review of file sharing services. I got a look at all of them about 3 years ago and it was easy to see that Dropbox's engineers were leading in the space. The company I was at did not select Dropbox, but they had my vote.
I've definitely seen much worse with C++. These kind of errors you get though when you use Tokio and combine many different futures together, the future wanting to have static lifetimes and me using a reference to self inside an async block, hopefully solved this year.
I agree, I've been dealing with the same issues myself for the past 3 years and have just now started to emerge from it and actually have the energy to reach out to others.

I've started the conversation with the peers that I know well at this point and have encouraged them to start looking after their own mental+physical health, seeking treatment/help, because frankly, no one in my org's management chain cares about the consequences they have on others' wellbeing.

What sort of frightens me is that the more I look around me the more I realize that a lot of people seem to be having issues with mental health and stress - some are just better at hiding it than others.

The average life expectancy for a male child born in the UK between 1276 and 1300 was 31.3 years. In 1998, it is 76. However, by the time the 13th-Century boy had reached 20 he could hope to live to 45, and if he made it to 30 he had a good chance of making it into his fifties.

From this history.stackexchange[1] thread, on user found that the average age of death of monarchs to be 44 years in England.
In the same thread it seem that it was 48.5 depending on how you made your calculation and 53.4 years if you made it to 20 year old.

I’m hopeful that this will push more interest into decentralised and open services. Sure not everybody will want to host their own data, but for those who have the know how, why should I trust someone else to hold on to my data?
Maybe I’m biased because I’m living in a country where Amazon has little to no presence and there are just other retailers to fill the gap, other delivery companies etc. so life goes on. I never heard anyone cry for Amazon to come to our rescue.
If you have specific questions on the implementation, I can try to answer them.
> compilers already do that ( yeah, it's one of those RTFM things)

I believe 99% of what people care about the C standard doing, re: UB handling, is requiring compilers to make certain behaviours the default, rather than hidden behind different flags that C newbies who don't understand UB (who thus code most of the bad C!) won't ever set.

Reference counting is a form of GC.

The problem with reference counting is that it don't work with recursive structures and counters may overflow. Overflow or reaching some max value and returning runtime error are both problems.
What a CPU/GPU is up to at any given point is pretty abstract for most people, but they do notice battery life, which a miner would definitely affect. Even fairly non-technical mobile users can be extremely vigilant about battery consumption, so I think this approach is likely D.O.A. on that platform.

On a desktop however, it could be a game changer.
Both effects you mention (sensor fusion problem between camera/lidar; spotty lidar reflections from bike) are possible.

These problems probably should not have prevented detecting this obstacle, though. But, a lot depends on factors like the range of the pedestrian/bike, the particular Velodyne unit used, and the mode it was used in.

One key thing is that lidar reflections off the bike would have been spotty, but lidar off the pedestrian's body should have been pretty good. That's a perhaps 50-cm wide solid object, which is pretty large by these standards. But the number of lidar "footprints" on the target depends on range.

You'd have to estimate the range of the target (15m?) and compute the angle subtended by the target (0.5m/15m ~= 0.03 radian ~= 2 degrees), and then compare this to the angular resolution of the Velodyne unit to get a number of footprints-on-target.

Perhaps a half dozen, across a couple of left-to-right scan lines. Again, depending on the scan pattern of the particular Velodyne unit in use. The unit should make more than one pass in the time it took to intersect the pedestrian.

This should be enough to detect something, if the world-modeling and decision-making software was operating correctly, hence the puzzlement.
> “race” as most people understand it, and “race” as an objective, genetic categorization, are two extremely different things.

Yet they seem to match in 99.86% of cases:

"Of 3,636 subjects of varying race/ethnicity, only 5 (0.14%) showed genetic cluster membership different from their self-identified race/ethnicity."

I'm not disagreeing, I just think it's a stretch to call it fraud.
Wow, pretty bad reading skills there. He's saying, explicitly, that genetic differences between races will be found, and scientists need to start educating people about how to interpret this research and stop sticking their heads in the sand about this really uncomfortable topic.

Though I get the feeling it's not uncomfortable for you...

I consulted at Pivotal on and off over the last several years and got an up-close look at the process. This a heroic feat.

In a short matter of years, they took a consulting services company, adopted some poorly designed abandonware from VMWare, and rebuilt it into a product that now serves some of the biggest companies in the world. Pretty much everything has been rewritten and almost all of it is available in github.

CloudFoundry is not sexy software. It's basically Heroku that big stodgy companies can run in-house. Startups will never use it; they can use actual-Heroku. The crazy thing is that Pivotal supports these huge enterprise software installations inside other people's data centers, often without direct access. It's really, really hard work.

I really hope this makes a bunch of my friends rich - they deserve it.
Sorry.

I suggested if it is legal, and you are setup in such a way as YouTube to host other peoples content that YouTube should not be able to remove content without forfeiting protections it receives as entity that host other peoples content.

Snuff is illegal, so yeah, nobody should be hosting it, and I don't think anybody was arguing for so.

As far as I know as for being "in-bounds" it's because it is legal in general. Can you name something that ICANN can block that is legal to produce and view?

Now if YouTube does not want to be treated like I am suggesting very little has to change, and one or both of the following would -- to me -- give them the right to control the content.

1) YouTube was a subscription.
2) When you posted a video to YouTube they bought it out right and were now the copyright holder.

The problem I am having is YouTube has found it in the juxtaposition of being both a for profit entity and a public place, if you will a communication or broadcasting facilitator. This is much like power and phone companies found them self's in.

I am also open to the notion that they can curate the videos found on the site, but in doing so they take WHOLE responsibility for ALL content on the site -- not just the ones that fit their current needs. This means though, that should somebody upload some unsavory illicit content, that they are also on the hook legally and financially for the distribution and copying of said content. They don't get to have their cake and eat it too. Its too much power for any single entity to have.

Also, maybe I am a dick, I don't really care if people are "offended", and I think the notion of "the right to not be offended" is hogwash. If you don't like the content, then don't view it. If you think some content causes people to do things prove it. This is a age old topic. First it was the "damn video games" causing people to kill people. Now its the "damn gun videos" that is causing people to kill people -- only this time video lost.

Note, I am NOT pro gun, or own a gun, or likely will own a gun
While laws like this allow for large grey areas where all of this is up for debate, the focus of the GDPR is largely on two things.

(1) Companies that collect data and "process" it. If you're hosting it with reason, it's no big deal. If you're actively doing something with it, then you can run afoul of the law.

(2) Companies that share their information with third parties. It puts a much larger onus on companies that have your data to use it appropriately and only for intended purposes.

If you read through the wording of the law, it's perfectly possible to have an e-mail service that complies with everything.

I think the crux of this particular argument though is whether or not you "own" the emails you sent. I think at the most if you pushed this issue to the max you could get a company to scramble your email address so that it doesn't identify you anymore... but all of this is more a thought exercise about minute details. The true intent of the law is the major points above.
> You're mixing up "undefined behavior" and "implementation-defined" behavior. Implementation-defined behavior is fine. "Undefined behavior", as the term is used in the C spec, means that literally anything can happen.

Actually I didn't. My point was rather obvious: the whole point of the standards specifying UB is precisely to let implementations define the behavior themselves.
Fundamentally, creating policy based on racial capacity cannot end in a moral place. Every single time governments/societies start down that path, it ends poorly.

Frankly, who gives a shit. It seems better to me to live in a world that's .000005% less efficiently allocated than it is to live in the caste system that always emerges from that path.
Dual (or triple? I don't know how many you want) actuators don't help very much if the software doesn't know how to activate them properly (as it seems is the case here).

You absolutely need a system to ensure a controlled stop in any type of critical failure in ability to control the system. Assuming you have that, it seems reasonable to regularly verify the controls are functional (jiggle the steering, modulate the throttle, gently tap the brakes) every so often, and rely on your controlled stop procedure in the event of failure.

I do have the common sense to avoid safety critical systems, thanks; however armchair engineering is a national sport.
I agree. Make it simple, attractive, and keep it's format familiar. Export to PDF. Nothing else.

> Velodyne did not "make a blanket statement of innocence without proof".

I agree, if anything I supported this statement with my comment.

The difference is that regardless of the narrowness of their claim, it will have a broader impact on how people judge Uber. Nor do we even know if the Lidar was functioning properly, which is an assumption Velodyne is making when they made their claim.

We simply need more evidence before we can fully judge Uber. And before we can give Velodyne a complete pass in terms of the functionality of their Lidar.
#deletefacebook really isn't going to go anywhere, outside of a vocal minority that don't rely on it. The train stops once the general population realizes they can no longer login to their favorite sites without it. Social Auth is a thing, and it's MASSIVE.
It is not possible for the algorithm looking at the LIDAR input data to have the same level of discrimination as humans, so this would be a possibly in my opinion.

I don't foresee companies continuing to pay for the ability to switch cloud providers. Mostly because I doubt the pricing differences between providers will ever be significant enough to justify moving.

I also suspect that providers will not keep feature-competitive with one another. It seems like every month, AWS is releasing new tools, and there's no way that other providers are maintaining this pace. My suspicion is each provider will specialize in non-overlapping domains. So unless your company will always be running a lowest-common-denominator site, you'll eventually encounter a vendor lock-in feature.
Yeah, sync projects are just pure pleasure to work with. The language is ergonomic, errors are easy to read and tooling is the best ever.

The problems right now start when you want to go async. I follow the development because I want to see easy, safe and fast way of writing async programs, and there's lots of interesting development happening with Rust.
Thanks for pointing out the "h" and "p"! This is so lame; it's kind of like the fake IRS agents who called basically everyone in my family over the last month.
Doesn't seem like a correct characterization from my perspective. File distributions was "hot" from the early 00s until cloud everything of recent years. I think Dropbox is/was clever but not surprising, because that was the sort of things a lot of people were doing (or speculating about) at the time. Especially since most things were based on files and not web like today. The main reason it didn't develop wasn't so much lack of insight as that the Internet become increasingly hostile towards stand alone solutions, including the increase in phones and other different clients.

I definitely think that part of Dropbox bet was that the Internet wouldn't develop much in the future. A bet they aren't alone in making.
No, they allow migrating, but doing so will cause facebook to reactivate your account. Basically, using any 'login with facebook' service after deactivating your facebook account will reactivate you.
My hope is that, over time, we figure out simpler ways to achieve the safety goals that Rust is pioneering right now, and so there will be simpler/easier alternatives that do the same.

If in ten or twenty years we can't do better than now, we've failed to make progress.

So yes, in the future we will hopefully consider Rust "too complex".

(Disclaimer: I don't have much experience with Rust, speaking as an outside observer).
>Magically attributing significant qualities to people because of their race is racism. Magically attributing significant qualities to people because of highly salient surface characteristics is bigotry.

It seems this type of racism and bigotry is quite fashionable in the media, because it has the veneer of beneficence, when in reality it is patronizing.

Moreover it appears that many who espouse this viewpoint are also the loudest critics of racism. It reminds me of how sometimes the biggest homophobe is actually a closet homosexual.

> Global mutable state is marked as Unsafe in Rust.

It's also the simplest way to avoid dynamic allocation and the associated OOM issues. So, short of doing static analysis to bound heap usage at compile time, that makes things worse.

And Toyota already got the static analysis wrong for their stack usage. At least globals will fail to compile if they won't fit.
Is this compliant with GDPR? Could the US or other legislative bodies simply enact a law and say "do what you're doing in the EU over here"?
So how is this going to be enforceable on organizations outside of the EU?
Note that it says "the right of the people" (as a whole), not the right of "people" (all of them).

The right is not there for everyone. It's only applicable inasmuch as you are part of the militia, and can be restricted if you're not.

Regulating the militia (just like saying what e.g. is due process) is up to the law, and can be arbitrarily restrictive as long as the overall right of the American people to form an armed militia is not infringed. For example, prohibiting hunting would be just fine.

a) it would be great if the world worked that way, and b) it's a fantasy that the world really does work that way right now.

It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot closer than it used to be. That quip from Blazing Saddles isn't a lie, you know. People used to want to work with Black people before they'd work with the Irish. Irish peasants were even poorer than contemporaneous American slaves! Now where has that attitude gone?

What you take as a starting point, I see as a distant goal that will take a lot of hard and uncomfortable work to reach.

By "starting point" I mean as a foundational principle. I certainly wouldn't disagree that humanity has far to go. We're not going to get there with an authoritarian attitude like, "The beatings will continue, until morale improves." The 21st century version is, "The toxic groupthink and mass-guilt by race will continue until attitudes around race improve!"

By all means, go for it. If you can figure out how to do that you will become a very successful person.

(Author here.)

I wrote this piece hastily, and it really wasn't intended for this broad of an audience — I won't redact the existing wording I still think it's roughly right, but I do regret a lot of it.

Rust's docs are amazing in certain contexts — the book is great, the built-in support for documentation on types/functions/etc. is amazing, and compiling code examples are a very laudable idea.

What I'm speaking to here is more once you get into the broader ecosystem and start using a lot of non-core libraries. Oftentimes I found that the front page docs explaining the basic premise were concise and well-written, but that things got quite a bit harder when you started diving into individual classes and functions (put another way, as you started deviating from the happy path). This doesn't apply everywhere, but often the comments are very minimal and the documentation relies heavily on "types as documentation" in that there's a big list of all the traits and the functions on those traits that are implemented. In many, many cases there's little in the way of detail or examples.

I've written quite a bit of Rust now and have used many of the headliner projects. So far there have been very few crates where I didn't have to resort to eventually checking out the source tree and figuring out how to do some particular thing by examining its source code and test suite. I won't call out any single project in particular, but I found this to be the case in every one of `actix`, `clap`, `diesel`, `error-chain`, `horrorshow`, `hyper` and `juniper`, just to pick a few from the top of my `Cargo.toml` (it also happened with many other libraries). It's great that you can do this and open source is awesome, but ideally I could get by on just documentation, which is what you can do in many other languages.

Unfortunately, read with little context, it sounds like the tone of my piece was intended to crucify, but it's not. It can be simultaneously true that Rust's docs can still use lots of improvement and that the Rust team is doing an amazing job of improving them (there's just a lot of work and a long way to go). Both these facts are true with Rust.
I went so far as to edit all comments give blank, remove all likes and untag all images before deleting. This was years ago, but I’m glad others are seeing the same issues and reacting appropriately.
