I can agree with the initial frustration coming from a GC-ed language until one figures out the right way to design code and structure data in a language with manual memory management. But I got over it eventually.

I'm also curious about this nitty gritty bit. I see this:

Generally, Self : Sized is used to indicate that the trait should not be used as a trait object. If the trait comes from your own crate, consider removing this restriction.

I guess you needed that sized restriction for some reason, assuming this was a trait of your own?
I think you're already ahead of the curve with the portfolio. Though I'd recommend some changes to it.

- Drop the tech stacks from the top portion

- Reorder it so for each project you state what it was you did, what technology you used and what impact it had

Then when applying to jobs put the portfolio link in your cover letter. From personal experience, almost everyone you send it to will click that link.

Another thought: you could pretty easily setup custom project/portfolio landing pages per company you were applying to.
The GDPR is not arcane or incomprehensible. It’s quite simple, there are a million explanations out there about how to comply, and even in the case you don’t get it right regulators will invariably give you the benefit of the doubt.

Many things might cause low levels of business creation. I am entirely unconvinced that the cost of regulation is one of them.

Drew Houston was rejected by YC when they interviewed him for his previous idea. When they attempted to judge him as a founder, prior to any success, they completely failed to identify one of the best candidates they had ever seen.

After another attempt at getting YC's attention, Drew Houston even got shooed out of YC's offices and went home feeling rejected and having "sour grapes" about the situation.

He only got into YC because he created a demo video that HN loved. And that HN post easily could have been buried by a bigger story or whatever. A quantum of luck was involved.

This should have permanently disproven the entire concept of judging a founder's potential in interviews. Unfortunately, people love the feeling of being a judge. Deciding the fate of other people, however incompetently, is an irresistible joy for many.

Paul Graham talked (in his speech at Stanford) about his own inability to correctly judge founders after a decade of trying. Calling it guesswork. Too bad that he retired and it went unfixed at YC, but something crowdfunding-ICOs may be the ultimate fix anyway.

It's entirely possible that Velodyne worded it far more softly, as to not directly attack Uber - as this article somewhat comes off as them doing.

Who knows what other greater context the particular statements were in. After this past election I never trust these types of one-line quotes taken from a larger interview.

Fair point, but changing the language won't change the amount of global state. and the associated complexity, nor will it make subsystem supervision work correctly. Changing the language will not prevent unbounded recursion or the associated stack overflows and subsystem failures. Changing the language will not fix mis-analysis of task switching overhead. And changing the language will not fix manufacturing issues with the PCBs.

As far as I'm aware, one of the very few toolchains that even try to improve on this over C are Ada/SPARK.
Disclaimer: Am a C++ programmer

Watching from a distance I have to concede that from a safety, dynamism of the community and package management using cargo Rust has improved upon C++ in meaningful and measurable way.

However on the complexity of the language front, I wonder if Rust will also join C++ in the realms of "too complex" 10 years from now. Would love to get some Rust experts to weigh in here on their thoughts about managing complexity of the language long term and whether being a simple systems programming language is an end goal.

I can only speak for MongoDB (and I use Atlas extensively), but in your example I would have two connections open to the MongoDB cluster on each web node (no matter where it's deployed). One connection would connect to the primary and handle all writes. The other connection would use the option "readPreference=nearest" which will connect to the geographically closest replica node.

Edit:

Looks like you can also tag the region your nodes are in and specify those tags directly, pretty neat.

You certainly do.

First, you could just resign and choose not to participate in ongoing violations of privacy. By not giving them your help, you are already making a small difference.

Second, you could threaten to resign because of this. Better, you could get together with others of like mind and threaten to resign en-masse. If enough people do this, upper management will take notice. It's just a matter of how many Google and Facebook employees have the will to do it.

Third, when privacy issues come up, employees could try to influence their companies to err on the side of privacy. In companies this size there are always many situations which aren't guided by explicit policy or direction from on high, and where employees can use their own judgment or advocate for one course of action over the other. This is where people who care about privacy can make their voices heard.

Finally, Google and Facebook employees are smart, creative people. They are more than capable of figuring out other ways they can make a difference -- if these issues are important to them. The main question is: are they?

With all the media attention around Facebook and Google privacy violations it's becoming harder and harder for their employees to stand on the sidelines and claim ignorance or pretend there's nothing they can do. By not doing anything they are choosing to continue enabling these companies. They could act instead.

Placeholders Considered Harmful
Let me provide a few questions on prostitution:

Readers of HN

1. Would you move to Nevada to work in your spare time as a legal prostitute? It's all the benefits of being an Uber driver, but with much better per-hour pay, no vehicle lease, and relatively no upkeep costs. You get to chose the clients you service, but you have service. To offset the pain of moving, in addition to the money you make as a prostitute, you also get a sizable pay-raise for your day job.

2. Do we start to encourage women to move to Nevada to work as prostitutes, with campaigns similar to STEAM campaigns? Not everyone can get a six-figure tech job, so the money and self sufficiency that affords is a good alternative to a low-paying entry-level position.

3. Your teenage child tells you they have decided to be a prostitute to save-for and pay for college. You've put away enough money for them, but they refuse to take it, and instead want to earn their way. Do you encourage them? What if you didn't have any money saved up? Would you support their decision?

My point of view isn't to demonize those who have gone into prostitution now, in the past, or in the future, but recognize that it's not a choice that pretty much any of us would make for ourselves, nor the ones we care about.
I would talk to a lawyer.
It sucked in comparison.

Met my first wife at college, the "old school" way. Met my current wife through OKCupid (after seeing another girl I was dating at the time using it).

I knew more about my second wife before I'd ever messaged her. Saves a lot of wasted effort simply basing the book on its cover.

This looks really interesting!

Also, the title here says "Python", but I don't see Python in the docs. I assume it is similar to Go, where you just import a library?
> "Your friends will miss you!"

The company seems to have a strong culture of gaslighting and manipulating users. When I saw that screen, there were people there that definitely wouldn't miss me and who would probably be appalled that their identities were being used in that way.

When other people quit Facebook, it's likely that your photo is being presented to other users (who you may not really know) telling them that you will miss them. It's terrible.
> It's important to note that in C++ you can easily run into problems with what you're describing: structs (objects) with different sizes being put into a vector.

Baloney. In C++ vector<any> or vector<variant> accomplish this task without any problems whatsoever.

>but that the political systems were willing and able to implement the ideas. Our current political system can't or won't contemplate even small changes to the Way It's Done.

Enlightenment was long political struggle to push ideas forward. Voltaire was imprisoned.
The actual social change when it happened included blood and death. If you want to find contemporary analogies, maybe people in countries like Iran or Saudi Arabia have may have same level of difficulty when trying to push new ideas into reality. Europe was similar mix of theocracy and aristocratic rule back then.

Today's liberal democracies allow easier transformations without spilling so much blood. Intolerance to new ideas is several orders of magnitude smaller than it was during the enlightenment.

It's easy to lose the sense of proportion and exaggerate today's difficulties.
This has been answered ad nauseam.

The Obama app was clearly a political campaign app
They did not use fake quizzes to steal user data
they asked supporters to contact their friends explicitly
they did not download friend of friend data surreptitiously
they did not buy or re-sell data in violation of FB's TOS
they did not lie and claim to have deleted it when required
they used user submitted data to build a database of potential supporters and contacted them to encourage them to vote
they did not engage in psychometrics to spread fear and fake news
they did all this domestically with US residents

1) GC is lazy, whereas RC is eager;

2) the use of "pure" RC may lead to memory leaks.

> Crop failures can just as easily happen under a capitalist mode of production; this seems somewhat orthogonal to the question of whether people not working in the off-season are "unemployed."

The point was that if the people had employment opportunities, they'd be less likely to die from their own crops failing, either through acquiring savings during downtime to pay for food or being able to move out of farming when the crops failed. I mean, the seasonal pattern of agricultural labour still exists for millions in many developing countries, but none of them have any shortage of people who used to work on the land seeking work in their sweatshops.
That is what I concluded too.

And if your nodes can be of different types, you probably need to make them "enums" instead of "objects".

So essentially you need these tricks to work with graphs, which means that your program design is really not as easy as with a garbage collected system, or manual memory management.

I think that many new users have problems with complex graphs in Rust, especially cycled graphs.

I've had the "opportunity" to read several 4+ page resumes like this. (Current record is 9 pages!) Candidates are definitely not doing themselves any favors. I expect that you used source control at your software engineering job. Listing it as a bullet point on your resume is just wasting your space and my time.

Another favorite is people who don't trim down previous experience. Every time I add a position to my resume, I go back over every other position and remove or compress bullet points based on what I think is important from that job now. And, of course, I've completely removed things like irrelevant college summer jobs. This is the main mechanism that allows my resume to still fit on a single (!) page.

You're absolutely right. It it a deeply human response to an incredible frustration. After decades of struggle, to help the poor, vulnerable, and oppressed, it's down a couple of faceless corporations that don't seem to care.

Because if they just knew, if they just understood, if they just had a little human empathy and sympathy for the pain and suffering... Why then they'd take all their money and smart people and Solve the Problem! That this is perhaps an excessively simplistic view doesn't occur to people who fervently believe that it's simply a matter of making the useless arrogant dweebs do the right thing.

Instead, it's scorched earth with good intentions. My heart aches for the wonderful people saving lives out there. For their deep frustration, and for the purity of their beliefs and intentions. Yet, it's perhaps abstractly possible that empathy and good intentions might be subtly different from good policy.

> She said that lidar has no problems seeing in the dark. “However, it is up to the rest of the system to interpret and use the data to make decisions. We do not know how the Uber system of decision-making works,” she added.

> “In addition to Lidar, autonomous systems typically have several sensors, including camera and radar to make decisions,” she wrote. “We don’t know what sensors were on the Uber car that evening, if they were working, or how they were being used.”

There's still a ton of variables here besides whether or not the Lidar detecting the pedestrian. Including the other sensors, how the software works, etc. All things out of the scope of Velodynes knowledge.

Velodyne is not saying that they are certain the car should/could have stopped in time or avoided the crash. Their perspective is merely regarding the functionality of Lidar being able to detect the person.

Not to mention we don't even know whether the Lidar malfunctioned yet either...
> One are outcomes dubiously tied to boycotts - did Sea World change their orca problem to protect revenues, or because they feared legal intervention?

They feared legal intervention due to the public attention drawn by the boycott.

Affecting revenue of a targeted actor directly is not the only mechanism by which boycotts are intended to have an effect.
Good, this is how it should be. The powerful should be fearful of the masses.

I'm honestly glad that this sorry state of affairs is cause for you to openly question a major source of your media consumption.

I'd really encourage you to not stop there and discover for yourself, by your own words, the plethora of "democracy-shaking stories" you have indeed missed from the BBC.

Personally I use the British Brain-washing Corporation (and other news outlets) as a way of orientating what narratives are being spun to the public, and what narratives not to pay attention to.

I'm curious why nobody seems to have compared Pinker's book to Julian Simon's 1996 tome The State of Humanity. It's also full of statistics and graphs showing the vast improvements in human life over time leading up to now.

Simon's book has been co-opted by the libertarian right (Cato Institute etc.) to show that all is peachy and no government intervention is needed - that's lamentable.

However, the underlying facts marshalled and documented in the books of Simon and Pinker - that life is measurably getting better on so many fronts - ought to be better known.

EDIT to add: Here's a short article by Simon summarising the message of the book: https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/state-humanity-...
They likely never delete anything. They simply transform you back into a "shadow profile" and keep monetizing everything they know, but conceal the data from you and the rest of the public.

I believe they always retain all data forever, as a trade secret. They don't need no stinking laws to do that.

This is a component of not requiring users to pay for premium service. When you "create an account" you're simply "activating/linking/merging" one of your shadow profiles to your IRL identity (or not-so-IRL personas), which (possibly) has always existed (long before you showed up), claiming it as yours, and publicly exposing whatever Facebook is willing to show you that they know about you/that persona/whoever.
