This article resonated with me. Once, I had a leader that would question parts of my org, or budgeted projects, why they were needed, etc. Her real question was "I need to cut X dollars out of the budget". I could have immediately helped that goal if she asked that exact question. Instead, though, she was going about it in an oblique way, trying to figure out where I was being incompetent.

Pretty embarrassed about our current state of leadership skills. In my current organization, we call this syndrome "bring me a rock". Like, I bring a rock, and she says "it's too big, or too brown, or whatever". Instead of outright saying, "I need a medium, smooth, grey, rock". I can deliver if you're explicit.

Writing a linked list in C is an exercise for undergraduates. I hope that almost all developers can do it with a little effort. Writing a linked list in C is not hard. Using it correctly is the hard part. In a safe language like Rust you can write your linked list using unsafe code and then build a safe interface around it.

>Is this a common state of affairs? Who doesn't have at least a week's supply of food

On the morning of the grocery shopping day, I'd guess most families do not have 7 days of food left to eat.

In America, the average # of grocery trips per week was ~2.[1]

That frequency doesn't seem so strange if the number of trips is affected by: (1) family size such as 4 people including 2 parents + 2 children, (2) refrigerator size of typically less than 20 cu ft (not the luxury 28+ cu ft or extra refrigerator in the garage), and (3) preference for fresh & perishable food instead of canned items.

As someone who's only dabbled in Rust (writing a few <500 line projects in a mostly non-idiomatic style), I've enjoyed every minute. "Fighting the borrow checker" gives an extra challenge and keeps things fun when not stressed for time.

"Why delete the post and its discussion then?"

Because the post and the discussion was leaked publicly.
The author dramatically underestimates the opportunities of scale and future tech in her model.

Amazon is already:

- Installing lockers into apartment communities https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=6442600011 that make deliveries dramatically more efficient.

- Predictive logistics & ordering patterns are a core Amazon discipline and they are world class at it.

- Droning looks like a gimmick today, but why should it be in the future?

Imagine a not-far-out future where:
- Predictive ordering algos keep right balance of product on hand
- Order comes in, robot loads it from GIANT physical warehouse that is NOT in a city center
- Order is sorted into a "locker" or a "single" end point
- Locker end points are put onto a locker-loading vehicle that runs a daily route that ties into the 2hr timeline.
- Single points deliveries are brought by automated heavy delivery truck to city center range from which point they are either droned or courier delivered

- - -

That future ain't that far off folks.

And in the meantime Amazon, who has their shareholders trained to reinvest every dollar of profit into their scale, is going to go and corner the multi-trillion dollar grocery & last mile market.

I'm genuinely curious about this, do you have links to evidence of this? You're asserting a certain causal order, but everything I've seen such as the article this thread is purely observational so doesn't say anything about the causality of it.
I would really love to see them rewrite Windows on a unix or linux core the way Mac did with Mac Os X. Having the software industry unified on a unix standard would be amazing. It would free up so much development effort currently spent making things cross platform (not all of it, but a lot of it).
You could say the same thing for UberEats ;)
> You just go to https://rustup.rs/ and that’s pretty much all.

Not if you're behind my corporate proxy, unfortunately. I set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable properly (which is annoying -- other apps are able to deal with the proxy transparently) so that I stop getting 407 errors, and then I get:

info: caused by: [35] SSL connect error (schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error
(0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.)

I've tried various fixes from the (still open) github issues: set some config setting to prevent the cert revocation check (only works for cargo, not rustup) and installing the cert from static.github.com (doesn't fix the issue at all).

EDIT: I was actually able to workaround this, finally, based on this github desktop issue[0]. It involves registry hackery and disabling cert validation in SCHANNEL which is not ideal (and I will be reverting it once rust is installed). I certainly don't have the mentioned Russian crypto library installed on my machine, so I have no idea what could be ultimately causing cert revocation check to fail on my machine...

No, it's a matter of reality matching expectations. If you expect that the SLA has very likely been violated at some point, hearing that it has not means you should believe you have just been very likely lied to given your existing knowledge, unless you are considering that statement as a source of truth itself.

If you expect that the SLA has very likely been violated at some point, hearing that it has at some point means that the statement confirms to what you already believe to be true given your existing knowledge. That doesn't mean the statement is true, but since it's not obviously conflicting with what you already believe to be true, it at least allows you to believe it is not immediately false.

Instead of thinking about it increasing the likelihood of being entirely true, think about it as decreasing the likelihood it's entirely false. Depending on your point of view that may not be much, but it's something.

Sure, I get the advantages of layers in architecture, especially the growing trend of separating compute and storage.

However there's a difference between architecture and deployment, and having everything in a single package makes operations much easier. CockroachDB also uses a KV storage layer (using RocksDB) with SQL on top.

Clickbait. At least propose what it is that you think needs to be done to address this so-called chaos.

Worth noting that ES2017 added String.prototype.padStart and String.prototype.padEnd. The whole left-pad thing is blown out of proportion.

Second, you shouldn't be relying on npm for deployments. You dig your own grave. If package deletion is a concern, then host a mirror with something like Nexus [0], or pay for a service [1] [2] to do it for you. Over the years there have been a few local npm mirror tools [3], but I don't think any of em have really caught much traction. There's also the option of bundling each release. For that you can use a tool such as Webpack [4], or take it one step further and generate a single binary using something like pkg [5].

Developers also have the option of forking their dependency graph and updating references in package.json. Sooner or later you'll start to find bugs in your dependencies and have to fix them. It's your responsibility, you own all that code. Don't be afraid of maintaining your own fork. If you find a critical issue you'll probably need to be able to deploy your update without depending on a third-party anyway. This is fairly common in other ecosystems. Heck, you can also just check in your node_modules folder into version control.

Don't get me wrong, npm certainly has its fair share of problems, and historically they haven't had the best defaults... But there's usually ways to work around the issues, and they're gradually working towards improving things. It's the developer's responsibility to handle their ecosystem's problems, which is also nothing new in the world of software development.

Because MS is pushing more and more consolized and controlled setup. They want Xbox like environment on PC (UWP). So if want true PC gaming where you can mod what you want and how you want, Linux is the best bet.
That's eventually how it worked out, but time and money were wasted in the process. Lots of man hours invested into justifying existing costs/orgs/projects.

When I could have offered up lower lying fruit if exact cost was identified as the driver up front. The questions weren't easy to translate into actual intent at first. Leadership styles profoundly affect efficiency.
I gave tagged email addresses out to a couple ICOs a while back, and they have been repeatedly sold off and sent spam by completely unrelated companies (usually through Sendgrid, incidentally - though Sendgrid has been good at shutting them down for anti-spam policy violations after the fact).

The ICO industry in general has shown its lack of respect for securities law (though there are exceptions); why would they adhere to a less well-regulated standard like opt-in for email?

The thing is, this is only incidentally about deliverability. Mailchimp cares about deliverability, sure. But ICO related email is going to be a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of messages they send daily for non-crypto related businesses, and having 0.1% of traffic related to ICOs isn't going to meaningfully impact broader deliverability. In addition, Gmail's smart enough to tell the difference between individual senders on Mailchimp's platform.

Mailchimp cares more about stopping email abuse (e.g., users sending spam to purchased lists) than they care about ensuring good deliverability. The two are closely related, but there are distinctions - the former is based on specific standards and policies, and enforced at a lower level than the latter.

I see this move as: considerations around widespread lack of opt-in standards for ICO related senders, plus concern over the level of fraud occurring in ICOs, and potential liability resulting from that.

Edit: reviewing some of the ICO spam I've received, about 30% of it has been obviously fraudulent/phishing - using lookalike Coinbase or Binance domains to try to trick people into sending tokens to a fraudster, for example.
I'd guess that sending a one-sided bombshell like that would tend to stimulate debate rather than suppressing it, at least in a company with a tradition of lively internal debate. Maybe in more top-down companies it's different?

But yes, the people in power do tend to be heard more in internal debate. (Not necessarily just managers though. Good or controversial writers can also have a lot of influence.) And this does mean more soft-spoken people sometimes don't get an equal voice.

Online discussions are often more heat than light. I don't think internal discussion can be replaced by surveys, though? They're both useful.

There are also problems that equality doesn't fix. As the number of people scales up, the power of each person gets smaller. Filling out a survey when you know it's one of hundreds or thousands tends not to feel very empowering, or even a good use of your time.
Is there an example with source code of a complete system developed using Rust?
Except this was a mistake and ultimately completely harmless.

I think the importance of selecting a C FFI is very much undersold.

You pretty much get interop with every major language for free. I've embedded Rust in Python, Java, C# and WASM/ASMJS pretty much with just that one feature alone.

Also makes the migration story really strong, which I think was largely driven by needing to be integrated into FireFox in a sane way.
Yes amazing because for the best part of 20 years, nothing significant has changed and now it’s functional enough to get work done.

And I don’t care about the *nix implementations because the first thing I do is start tmux and use that. Same as I only care for the Linux userland which is what WSL gives me.
Yeah my dude, I'd almost venture to say that you are the outlier here (echo/bubbles, yay!). For many that I know, food is an on-demand lazy loaded resource. Sure, sometimes they buy groceries (usually when they run out of pop-tarts) ... But the odd day when they actually cook dinner, it's a trip to the store for just those ingredients that are necessary.

Is it horribly wasteful and inefficient? yes. Does that get factored into the equation? no.
It could happen, but from Apple's own announcements it seems like they were worried that the Mac was increasingly marginalized as a platform for AR/VR development, which Tim Cook constantly tells us (for AR at least...) is something he's super excited about for the future of computing. Not arguing this is the sole reason, but it definitely seems like a feature to cover high end edge cases like this for the time being.

Much of Apple's own discussions on the eGPU feature at WWDC/the marketing blurb for their own eGPU devkit refer to VR a lot too. Apple added VR support to Final Cut Pro at roughly the same time as well.

> And they seem to generally "dislike" putting discrete GPUs in laptops, going all the way back to the Titanium G4 days.

Not so sure I'd agree with this - every single Titanium PowerBook model ever made had a discrete GPU. Even the iBooks had dedicated GPUs. It wasn't until the adoption of Intel processors that integrated GPUs was even an option for Apple really.
Same. I'm not even THAT low-ranking, and it's still a big deal when I push back against a VP or director on something that's in my area. For some topic where I didn't even feel like an expert, against such language, and with morals concerned? I think I'd just silently start looking for a new job.

Who told you that? I don't think "inherently secure" is a thing in the tech industry.
The difference is that when I buy a plane ticket, I see the price that the company wants and then I can decide to purchase it or not. With Uber, I have to agree to pay first and then they tell me what the price is. That difference, in my mind, is the key difference to what makes riding an Uber gambling, while buying a plane ticket not.
One thing I've always wondered is, if everyone is sharing a straw, does that lead to issues with disease transmission? Seems like it would be very easy to spread a cold around or something worse.
Yes, you are right. But increasing adoption across different zipcodes won't help that much (although, yes, it’ll bring SG&A per order down). The adoption has to increase in the exact same area (your point #2 has to be true, i.e. stops should be so close, like an apartment building) for drivers to make more orders per hour, and for this service to be profitable in the long run.

It's interesting to see how Facebook reacts to internal corporate data being shared, in reverse to Facebook sharing private user data to third parties.

Boz complains that his memo was taken out of context and he doesn't even agree with it anymore, yet everyone is judging! Gasp! Facebook on the other hand totally connects people by creating and selling ad profiles on said connected people. Based on data people shared years ago, out of the context, disagreeing to what they said years ago! And that's a good thing, right? Because it connects people! Ugh.
"We are not able to make any definitive claims that this compound is safe..."
