Rust also has features which interact in subtle and surprising ways. Generics and operator traits bumping into the "coherence" rules is my personal pet peave. I doubt any user would have predicted that interaction, and even though the compiler gives a detailed pointer to why, it's cold comfort.

Honestly, after hating C++ for years, trying to use Rust made me appreciate more about C++. I wish someone would make a language which took the best parts of both.

"Coinbase Custody" tells me exactly what they're doing. "Coinbase Custodian" makes me think they're launching a janitorial service.
The majority of great employees don't have 4.0 GPAs, but the majority of 2.5 GPA graduates don't make great employees.
You alluded to it in your post, but an interesting side effect of Cash For Clunkers was that there is an entire set of model years basically missing from the used car market.

The people most likely to take advantage of the program were those who liked having new or nearly new cars, so the cars that got destroyed were actually on the newer end of the used car spectrum.

So then when people such as myself, who have no problem driving an older vehicle, went to upgrade, the cars weren't there.

I'm still driving a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix largely because when I would have been interested in a cheap upgrade there weren't any moderately used cars to be found. At this point, I just plan to keep driving it until it finally gives out on me. It's lasted me this long, so why not?

Hi, FYI Arlington is in Virginia and not DC.
TL;Dr version - author takes an article on data centers, an article on long haul fiber, and an article on the structure of the Internet and puts it into a blender.

It is kind of too bad since two of the three articles haven't had a lot of good coverage. One being alternate cooling strategies for data centers, and the other being disrupting the moats that long haul fiber imposes.
Frightening thought: if (at least some cases of) Alzheimer's really is something akin to "Type III Diabetes", the planet and especially the USA can expect absolutely skyrocketing numbers as today's obese adults age.

Either the market is open or closed, and when that changes is a very well-known schedule (for the most part). Even the US stock market would run into some very unhappy people if they partially closed a market (e.g. only allowed buying, not selling) or they closed a particular stock at their whim.

I'm not saying this wasn't risky or dumb, I'm just saying the US stock market is a poor counter-example because both of the things that happened in this case are exceedingly unlikely to happen on the US stock market.

> it totally removes the ability of a random citizen witness to capture evidence

The police/etc have the same problem.

> putting the power of deepfakes in the hands of ordinary people is going to make everybody a less credible witness, no?

"Ordinary people" have a major advantage: parallelism and redundancy. Making one fake and disseminating it to many people is efficient and cheap. Faking many videos in a way that avoids easily discovered contradictions is very hard. Evidence always needs to be corroborated.
As Tychus Findlay might say, "It's about damned time."

The Stream API has to be one of the ugliest warts in .NET, and it's been around since the beginning. I am so glad Microsoft finally addressed it. Every time I use Stream, I am reminded of how badly the Stream API violates SOLID principles.

I like how Microsoft approached the problem from below by introducing new types like Span<T> and Memory<T>, then the Pipes API. It shows that the future of the platform is in good hands.

This seems like an egregious oversight to me, no one thought about controlling the humidity levels in this carefully climate controlled server farm beforehand? They used evaporation cooling to lower energy costs which ideally would saturate the air up to near 100% humidity in order to work best, how would you not know taking that air directly would result in water and humidity problems? They likely had multiple engineers working on climate control by itself, someone should have foreseen it.
i've been trying to explain this to my wife for a while and struggle with it lol. I get all grumpy and oldman like during tech commercials nowadays saying "pssh that isnt AI!". The other idea that is hard to comprehend is just how much data people have. They most likely dont really know what a 'data center' is and the scale of it. They dont see all of the apps/programs we use like we do, it is magic to them and the consumers are constantly getting 'swindled' by a bunch of hype-drivin buzzword mumbo jumbo.
Most users of these products are non-technical, among other things. They have no idea that they should even consider that something like that is happening.

> i've been trying to explain this to my wife for a while and struggle with it lol.

A losing battle, it seems. I find people can't make the pattern connections about good and bad hygiene. So explaining one example doesn't prevent similar behavior in another, even for really "obvious" stuff. Kinda drives me a little crazy.
> Popular email clients have caused terrible ideas like HTML email to proliferate

Regardless of whether it was a good idea or not, this ship sailed many years ago. In the 21st century, email is rendered in HTML, and nobody but a few engineers would even contemplate taking away the ability to render links, formatting and images in email.

Personally, I would argue that email is on its way out. Personal communications have largely transitioned to things like SMS, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Twitter, etc. Transactional email notices are increasingly being supplanted by mobile push notifications. Businesses are making heavy use of hybrid push-pull channel systems like Slack.

IMO, the decentralized, federated nature of email was its downfall. It became a cesspool of spams, scams and unwanted notices. The research I've seen strongly suggests that it only takes a small amount of unwanted noise messages for people to go longer between reading email and reduce the amount of email they send.

Of course these are problems that can be solved, but my prediction is that they will be solved by email's successors. Of course, technology predictions are hardly worth the bandwidth that delivers them, but that doesn't stop people from making them. ;-)
I arrived a few minutes before the beginning of a tech Meetup and most of the people were already seated eating their pizza.

I apologized as I had to go around them and said, "Sorry, I'm running later than I wanted because of a broken subway rail at Wall Street."

Of course they understood. :-)
Ok then please prove that C++ is more complicated than Rust by listing which features of C++ are not available in Rust. It's nice that the compiler can tell me when I do something wrong, but I still have to know how to write it correctly in the first place. In Java it's more or less code and forget.

And yes, I meant memory safety.

My advisor said if you were getting a 4.0, you were wasting your valuable research and development time on homework. Nobody cares much about GPA, when you could have built something amazing instead.

Of course, GPA didn't improve his tenure chance as much as our R&D so, take that into consideration.
I think the touchbar MBPs include an ARM CPU, so in a sense they already started the hybrid approach.

A "brand extension" means you take your famous name with a good reputation and paste it on something else to boost the new thing. This risks the reputation of the famous brand if the new thing is a dud. AdWeek has a list of embarrassing brand extension flops.[1]

Even if it's not a total flop, it can degrade the brand. Holiday Inn Express and Hilton's low-end product lines are examples. The overall result was to move the brand downscale.

"the solid rocket boosters ignited and somewhere in the right booster, a 0.280-inch-wide O-ring failed due to the cold."

The 'solid rocket boosters' being constructed in segments because they had to be transported by rail from Utah. They had to be constructed in that state as part of the deal to get the politicians to vote in the finances.
They haven't launched here. We barely even have dockless bikeshares (and even then they're not allowed in the exclusive Citibike coverage area). We're a rough regulatory environment.

The open drug use, rampant homelessness, and shit on the sidewalks is really sad, and has been that way for at least 10 years.

If T2D can be reversed with fasting (to purge the pancreas of fat), does that mean we could test things like Acetyle-L-Carnitine in larger dosages in the brain to affect T3D? Or perhaps a variant of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin? Has anyone tried experimenting in this area?

Or is this a viral condition as others in the thread have mentioned? Perhaps these are not mutually exclusive?

Individual stocks can be frozen, and things like the flash crash can trigger circuit breakers with little to no warning.

Plus, a company can (hell, typically does) release news after-hours and leave you in the lurch, or go suddenly bankrupt. Ask me how my couple dozen Lehman Brothers shares are doing...
Regardless of how it happened I'm glad, because now we can say that for a while millions of Facebook users had their data literally stored "in the cloud".
In that case what makes you think any self starter will be in your applicant pool?
If by problem posed you mean the one with artifical constraints then sure. Once again, what does that have to do with "math of causation though".
Euler's first major work, the one that brought him fame, was his solution to the Basel problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem), when he was 28. Namely, he found the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the integer, i.e. the value of the series (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + ...), to be π²/6.

According to https://faculty.math.illinois.edu/~reznick/sandifer.pdf Euler gave three solutions in his 1736 paper now numbered E41: http://eulerarchive.maa.org/pages/E041.html ("De summis serierum reciprocarum" = "On the sums of series of reciprocals")

But that's how deoptimisation checks work.
The article reads as if it was as procedurally generated as the bizarre graphics included.
The places where we've seen massive substitution are all industries where humans were in physical danger from the work being done. Risky manufacturing lines, etc.

That doesn't really reflect the situation. Machines have been substituted for humans since at least Eli Whitney's Cotton Gin. Substituting machines for humans has had nothing to do with providing safety, rather it has been driven by the desire for increased productivity and thereby profits. Certainly, this increased has provided massive benefit to society along with various drawbacks. That's literally the history of the "industrial revolution".

Yeah but just because the stock market may have been a poor example, it does not invalidate the rest of his argument. The OP tried to pump and dump, now he's complaining because he got burned.

No such thing as easy money.
Of course the article isn't about the actual cloud in the actual data center.

Pipkin is a code artist, this is essentially a philosophical musing, but of the continental kind, with importance given to phenomenology, with thought on metaphilosophy and suchlike, with philosophy given as first science.

This kind of author specializes in deeper critique in that continental style. Most such works are technically worthless, but that is not the point.
This article is very strange, and lacks a cohesive narrative. It meanders willy-nilly. I stopped about half way through.

Also, the graphics are really bad, and completely distract from the already questionable piece.
I agree, when I can see the addresses match it would do my head in if the compiler says false, its unexpected, its surprising. If i write bad code, fine I'm used to that and I can debug it, if there are these new 'gotchas' thats less transparent. I've not used c11 yet, and don't likes the sound of it!

Right. Evidence is more than a singular "smoking gun" photo or video. You typically rely on a whole collection of corroborating evidence to build a case.

It's the court of public opinion that worries me. That court is very important to the functioning of a liberal democracy. If the facts themselves are always open to suspicion, a society cannot defend itself very well against tyranny.

The much better (and probably worthy of a modern spiritual successor, which this article is not) version of this theme is Neal Stephenson's excellent "Mother Earth Mother Board" from a 1996 issue of /Wired/:

Thank you, the article was really annoying me by talking about everything but the actual problem. Really does sound like somebody tried to cheap out by not hiring the person(s) they needed. I know people that never got past the 8th grade that wouldn't have made such a mistake. They should of at least been monitoring humidity levels when they turned it on and noticed the problem before the entire place got to 100% humidity.

This is remarkable considering how short a time (on a Universe scale) it takes for planets to form. Planets form in tens of millions of years.

I'm excited to see what they discover over the next 4 years. They haven't yet found orbital motion, and are going to do follow-up observations to check for it.

In addition to those confused by the "The data suggest that the planet’s atmosphere is cloudy." statement. The article just cherry picked a phrase from the paper. It just means, looking at evolutionary models of early stage planet predictions, the light produced by this object is most consistent with "a young
planetary-mass body with a dusty or cloudy atmosphere".
