By German standards, that is not very "inner city". Street lights are on all night, and I cannot see any but the brightest stars even on a clear night. Jupiter and Saturn are easily visible, Orion's belt, too, but Orion's, eh, "sword" is very hard to see. No trace of the Milky Way at any rate.

When I was in a rural area at night for the first time, I was floored to actually see a bright band spreading across the night sky. I had always thought one needs a telescope + CCD to get a view of that.

This is an unviable move.

The next best move is to build laws which enforce behavior.

This always results in additional complexity which cuts into the profit profile of firms.

> Facebook runs a low-support model.

Surely, in practice, you support ADFS and Shibboleth, and then you implement additional support as your clients ask it of you.

If you're doing it the Microsoft way, you throw up your own instance of ADFS, configure that to authenticate against your clients' SAML IDPs, and authenticate against your own ADFS yourself, thus avoiding having to deal with interop concerns within your own application. Practically everybody can interop with ADFS. On non-Microsoft systems, I believe the likes of OpenAM (or its paid-for version, ForgeRock Access Management) can do this, among other options.

It's the first "new" language in a long time that is viable for embedded/bare metal/kernel space, high performance and real time applications.

The memory safety concepts are novel and unique to Rust but enough has been talked about them already.

Additionally, it brings a lot of features from "advanced" programming languages (ML, Haskell) to a more mainstream language. Sum types, pattern matching, powerful macros. None of these are new or unique, but are executed particularly well in Rust.

In addition to the new features and concepts, the Rust compiler and ecosystem are well engineered and have a good amount of support.

It's the first "new" programming language in a decades worth getting excited about. Ok, maybe I was a bit excited about Julia too, but their execution is not as great as Rust's (and they have made some questionable design decisions).

Couldn't you achieve the same thing in C++ by using message passing between threads instead of shared memory?

I know that the parent post used multi-threading as an argument in favor of Rust. But there are many ways to blow of your foot in single threaded C++. For example, consider this single-threaded code:

std::vector<size_t> v;
v.push_back(1);
size_t *first = &v[0];

std::cout << *first << std::endl;

// The STL vector implementation will probably
// reallocate the backing array at least once.
for (size_t i = 2; i < 1000; i++)
v.push_back(i);

std::cout << *first << std::endl;

You wouldn't be able to introduce the same error in Rust. Once you borrow the an element of a Vec immutably, you cannot create mutable borrows during the lifetime of any immutable borrows. So the compiler would reject pushing new elements.

However, the mental cost a Rust programmer pays for that trade (due to borrow checker) seems too high for me

The thing is that most of the errors that the borrow checker will point out are potential programming errors in C or C++ as well. However, current C/C++ compilers will put most of the responsibility completely on you (plus tools like Valgrind). So, to me C++ has at least the same cognitive load if you want to program responsibly.

> Gap said its median-paid employee, a real person, was a part-time sales associate in Alabama who worked a partial year and whose pay was not annualized.

It seems odd to compare the non-annualised salary of a part-time worker to those of full-time/annualised. Is this a strategy by Gap to deflect attention (I know $5375 is extremely low, but I have no ration/scale/factor to compare it by, so I don't know exactly how low. This employee in Alabama could be working a day a month), or is this format of reporting actually required by Dodd-Frank?

The defenders of the GDPR mostly have great faith in their government to enforce vague regulations in a reasonable manner. They're probably right, but:

(a) That weakens the rule of law. It transfers power from the elected officials who draft and vote on laws to the agencies that enforce them. Most Americans think that's bad, and I agree. (Like, now that Trump is the American president, are you happy or sad that he finds his power limited by the judiciary? How sure are you that your own governments' regulators will always be staffed by people whose judgment you trust?)

(b) The extraterritoriality is weird. Let's say Turkey passed a law banning criticism of Erdogan on any website accessible to people in Turkey, and tried to enforce a judgment against an EU national running such a website in the EU. I hope we'd then all agree that's not how international law works. What's the difference between that and the GDPR? Is it just that you think data privacy is good, and banning criticism of Erdogan is bad? I agree, but what's the legal framework here? What countries do you think have the right to impose a similar burden on the EU?

SAML SaaS providers are increasingly used over internally hosted SAML servers like Microsoft ADFS. Okta and Ping, to name a few, make things extremely easy for internal security teams, and likewise for SaaS providers.

I have been on the implementation team inside a large enterprise for Okta and MS ADFS. It was far easier for me to say to SaaS providers "make sure you integrate with Okta" vs having a series of technical meetings to implement a specific configuration for ADFS. It outsources risk, and means SaaS providers only have to manage the integration with one provider for a potentially large customer base.

Yes that sounds like someone who doesn't want to have to wait two weeks to get approvals to create resources in a Dev environment.

But as the team lead, I already had the final say into what code went into production and could do all kind of nefarious acts if I desired. Yes we had a CI/CD process in place with sign offs. But there was nothing stopping me from only doing certain actions based on which environment the program was running in.

I've seen what happens to people who are "just developers" that spend all their life working in large companies where they never learn anything about database administration, Dev ops, Net ops, or in the modern era - cloud administration. They aren't as highly valued as someone who really is full stack - from the browser all the way down to architecting the infrastructure.

Why wouldn't I choose a company if given that option that lets me increase my marketability, and gives me hands on experience in an enterprise environment instead of just being a "paper tiger" who has certifications but no experience at scale?
If by "all constructions wiht HKTs", you mean what can be done with HKTs in Haskell, then I'd say yes. It is well-known that ML modules provide a very advanced level of expressiveness, especially since OCaml's introduction of first-class modules. Also, Scala took this idea further and provides principled recursive first-class modules (which Scala calls dependent object types).

The problem is that modules in ML have a verbose syntax and are clunky to use compared to type classes. OCaml's modular implicits aim to make this better (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.01895), taking inspiration from Sala's implicits.
This is really just a tiny test application made to find sounds for a game, and about similar to what you describe, but to be run directly on the Atari 2600 . However, if you want to sample the sounds, best get a native emulator like "Stella" [1] and run the ROM-file in this one (see the downloads section).

The best way to get a full walk trough of the tones and pitches would be to write a tiny Atari ROM file for this. (It's really just about setting three registers.)

Its not a bubble. $240k is a reasonable salary for a professional with good grades from a good university working for a highly profitable private company. In fact as long as there is such a gap between revenue per employee, and compensation per employee, there will only be upward pressure on pay and conditions.

In reality, software engineering salaries outside of established tech environments are kept artificially low because there is no "guild of software engineers", and therefore anybody can get hired no matter what level of skill they have.

I too run a software startup. The most common and serious error I see in my fellow startup founders is expecting to build better technology with worse pay and conditions. You might be able to wrangle something decent out of some poorly qualified yet smart people, but its a bit of a long shot.

I think you misunderstood Rust. There’s no additional mental cost compared to C++. In C++ you must do thing the same way (keep track of references, variable lifetimes) in order to write any sane program. Rust just help you to declare those things and ask the compiler to enforce it. And no, message passing is not the savior to parallelisation.
I wouldn't use it as an alternative to garbage collected languages since garbage collection is just simpler overall,

I do not disagree, but I think one could argue to the contrary as well.

Since most garbage collected languages do not guarantee that objects are actually (timely) garbage collected, you cannot tie the lifetime of other resources (file descriptors, sockets, locks) to object lifetimes. So, the burden is on the programmer to ensure that resources are correctly finalized. Whereas in RAII languages you can properly tie all finalization to object lifetimes.

Note: I am not arguing that GC-ed languages cannot do RAII. AFAIR D has a GC and supports RAII.
The problem more generally seems to be “I'm locked into proprietary services that don't allow me to use libre software”. I suggest that those services therefore aren't very good.

If libre software fails to compete with a proprietary alternative in terms of features, it's reasonable to criticise the libre software. Similarly, if a proprietary service fails to compete with a libre alternative in terms of choice of how you use it, it's reasonable to criticise the proprietary service.

I'm unsure of all the negativity regarding the GDPR here.

GDPR compliance is catching up with your project's "ethical debt" in much the same way as a project sometimes has to deal with a "technical debt". If it's unimportant, it's of no concern. If you kept up with good practice, it's of no concern. It's only if it's important and you let the debt accumulate that it could potentially be a problem.

While in the US and Canada, "credit card" is the main method of payment, large parts of the world in which Amazon operates offer additional payment methods such as bank transfers, with credit cards offered as secondary option but not owned, let alone used, by large portions of the demographic.

I have to admit to not understanding this, though I think I know somewhat well about money. Isn't this "sovereign money" the way it is in other countries, where banks either have money deposited by some customers and/or borrowings from a central (government controlled) bank or reserve that controls the total amount of the currency/money?

If banks create money on their own for lending, wouldn't that cause an uncontrollable chain reaction on the valuation of the currency, on the ability to control inflation (to some extent) by policy measures like interest rates and other things?

Any explanations, or better, links to articles would be helpful.
This might be a silly question, but even if you do fab it 'yourself', does that solve the problem? It might make it harder, but people can still be bribed, or have other pressures applied to them.
If you live in a first world country, try to find out what your mid-tier technology consultancies (Accenture, Deloitte, CGI, etc) are charging customers.

The real issue is that outside of leading tech environments, too much rent is being extracted from the wages of software engineers.
