It doesn’t. It’s one of the most annoying aspects of Rust that “Written in Rust” is considered an attractive quality.

But, whatever. There’s no reason to be gratuitously negative. I’m just a bit salty that lesser known languages are often excluded on the basis that they’re lesser known.
The CAFE rules explain why SUVs emerged in the past, but over the past decade many SUVs have been classified as cars under CAFE standards. Most crossovers are now classified as cars.
A lot of CLI tools are quick scripts or other programs that will start, execute, and then die quickly.

If a tool is written in an interpreted language or has to load a large VM on each invocation than a large percentage of the total runtime of the CLI tool will be spent on language-specific tasks.

With a non CLI tool such as a server or daemon the expectation is you start it once and it runs for awhile. In these cases startup time does not matter as much.

Furthermore, for interpreted languages like JS/Python/PHP and languages that require a VM such as Java or C#, not everyone will have or want to install each languages runtime.
We should be able to trust our elected officials to do the right thing. And if we can’t, we need to fix our democratic systems so we can.

It’s not sustainable for a population to continually apply political pressure on each and every issue. Particularly to lobby against well funded opponents.

The result of a system where we can’t trust elected officals is going to be a failing system. Voters will understand they’re being screwed but won’t understand the issues. So they’re end up voting for someone offering simple solutions, like Trump.

It's an upgrade from my perspective. I paid $10K less than I would have paid for a 75D. But I take your point. It's not the best example. Nor are the other two I offered. But they're the best I can come up with, and I think they hint at the possibilities for software-customizable cars.

"You have 8 free articles remaining. Subscribe for unlimited access. " - Seeing this all over the web certainly doesn't help. Several of our local news sites went the same route, which has no doubt cut into their page views. People aren't interested in paying $5.99/week for news websites.

Another reality is that in a lot of areas... well, there's just not much to report on to begin with. Slow news days are quite common. Our local news station will actually call the fire and EMS stations and ask if anything is going on. If there's nothing going on, you'll know because the Facebook feed ends up reposting momsdaily or simplemost blog articles.

Fair. This is mainly for macroscopic systems, not fundamental particles or other species that cannot be distinguished at all, then all you can do is lump the states together and give it a degeneracy.

Thank you for your recommendations...

The OpEd reads more like a speech. I'd assume there are some publicly available speeches (or videos with subtitles) that can be analysed instead.

Some articles mention that anonymous sources specifically take note of the speech patterns of other people so they can use those to throw off the trail. I'd be very surprised if the author didn't at least try to do that, or agree to have the NYT rewrite each sentence while preserving the meaning.

It's an interesting exercise and can and might be able to rule out some authors, but it seems like someone harboring such opinions and wishing to express them to some extent (and has with others -- in the resistance) will be discovered in short order.

Outing this person might be an even bigger story than the OpEd itself. But I put my money on old fashion journalism rather than text analysis.

Python is installed literally everywhere. If it’s a CLI tool, and it’s written in python, the chance that it won’t work is slim.

Go has a massive number of problems. For example, I tried to run Keybase’s standard “go get” build instructions. It failed with 200 import errors. That was the end of my attempt to install keybase on my raspberry pi. Others had said that it works.

Rust requires a massive amount of hard drive space and takes a long time to build. You also have to build it. That’s antithetical to rapid development.

I can't wait until the pendulum swings back away from static typing and the next generation of programmers discover the benefits of literally ignoring everybody and doing your own thing. It’ll be painful, but at least it’ll be effective. And you won’t have to compile anything.
Aren't there ethical considerations in outing the author? Clearly he/she intended to remain anonymous, for obvious reasons.

Interesting that they try to pin the failure of the Bretton Woods system on some shadowy backroom figures instead of 1) the US inflating the dollar well past the amount of gold backing it, 2) governments cashing in their dollars for gold @ $35/oz and making a profit by selling it on the international market for its true market value and 3) the French calling for a return to a true gold standard...because who doesn't like to blame the French?

You can do exactly that with Chrome profiles, which associates the entire browser profile (avatar, cookies, bookmarks, history, etc) to a single account. This can also be an offline/local only account or tied to a google account to sync everywhere.

Cars suffer from a tragedy of the commons, even if you have the best Apple iCar in the world with self-driving, you will still get stuck in traffic because of all the people who don't.

If Apple wants to improve the experience of cars they need to start a political party because that is a local governance problem not a design problem.

> invention of "squishification" as a synonym for eccentricity

I wish I could find a community with which to work on innovation like this. Instead, people largely work in isolation, without the benefits of collaboration. So for instance, I thought "squishification" didn't have quite the right emphasis - process rather than property - and wondered if something like "squishedness" might have been better. Perhaps a new ImproveThisExplanation subreddit, sort of a cross between ELI5, "What If?", and AskAScientist...???
You assume that the feature will result in some net benefit for Google (at some potential expanse to users/public) but there's no such guarantee.

Historically, the great Google products are made from scratch (or bought early) and stand by themselves. Their not-so-good products or features are the result of some elaborate corporate thinking that comes out under phrases like "Identity consistency between browser and cookie jar".

So, while they (may) think it tightens the lock-in, it (may) actually end up doing the opposite and be a disservice to everyone.
Use Chrome Profiles feature which basically gives you an entirely separate browser. Each profile can be associated to an offline/local account or a Google account that syncs everywhere. It allows you to keep personal, work, and anything else completely separate.

You can switch 'people' to have one browser for each account you want.
Everything you said applies to many other languages, including C, which is probably the most common language used to write CLIs if you rank by hours used. Why not advertise the unique properties of this tool (fast, easy to install) than its implementation language?

Does this ultimately boil down to "go install" (or whatever the Rust equivalent is) is easier to deal with than "./configure; make"?

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon and don't understand why it seems to be in vogue to ignore OS package managers, which hide all this complexity anyway.

I don't see that transparency at all, nor in the previous analyses linked to in the article. In fact, the articles seem to explicitly be on the side of their methods being definitively able to identify "the author behind New York Time’s op-ed" [1]; this article is prefaced by the title and question "who wrote the anti-Trump New York Times op-ed?", leaving out any criticism to its methodology, making me doubt any other claim Robinson would unreservedly make.

There is no such binary for the raspberry pi. If it was written in python, it would have worked. It likely would have turned out smaller, too.
Seems great at first, but how is that better than piping the whole CSV file into SQLite and then doing the processing there? I think CSV is great for data exchange but not so great for data processing.

By using SQLite (or any other DB actually) you can decide which data to index, and write arbitrarily complex queries in a rather understandable language. I think XSV is kind of reinventing the wheel here.
I've worked in this industry for years, happy to answer any questions.
i work in engineering and math so my eco-knowledge is limited. yes it seems we need to boast to keep economy grows and that's what domestic gov do. i am in age 22 and i was in euro 2 years ago, i been to shanghai, hang zhou, and if i may i could judge we haven't been really hurt. personally when i was little i can't afford whole day air-conditioner open, and i so couldn't i drive to anywhere far, but these days my family economy status didn't improve considerablely but appreantly they are cheap
This comment shouldn't have been downvoted/killed; at the time it was made, the title of the post was completely uninformative, leaving people to guess what on earth "XSV" might be.
I find these threats doubtful, I don't see the editorial board wasting their life on sustained activism over the years chasing remnants of something they helped to create and what would be served a deathly blow by their resignation already. The author however has a history of activism I haven't looked into, but that usually involves a spin. There's also the possibility of his correspondents' misguided politeness by throwing him something to chew on to diffuse the blame. Mathematical Intelligencer editor could be seen as doing that in a somewhat more intelligent way blaming the possibility of "international hype".

As for the description of alleged emotional states involved, I'm oblivious and not seeing the relevance. Recounting the events and actions taken sufficed for a horrific story. The author deemed it important however to make it into something even more colourful with threats of some unspecified future actions (how does one harass a journal?).

The managing editor you speak of went on leave and has an interim replacement. I can see that entirely appropriate if only because of how retraction was handled by deletion and overwriting, instead of a proper notice in place. This was extremely unprofessional administration, which is usually a duty of the managing editor solely. The other possibility I described is that it wasn't really published the usual way, which is even more damning.

You could. But then you need to write a schema. How do you know what schema to write? You could ask csvkit to do it, but it might not be fast enough on, say, a 40GB CSV file. Or maybe it isn't quite accurate enough. xsv might be the tool you use to figure out what the schema should be.

SQLite (or any SQL database) does not cover all use cases. For example, if you need to produce CSV data, and you can fit your transformation into xsv commands, then it might be hard to beat the performance in exchange for the effort you put in.

This is probably an expression problem. Tools don't always neatly fit into orthogonal buckets. If you think in terms of shell pipelines and want to attack the data as it is, then xsv might be good for you. SQLite is, IMO, a pretty massive hammer to apply every single time you want to look at CSV data.
London did not vote "purely" in favour of remain. In fact, 40% of voters in London voted for Brexit. A lot of people have been romanticizing London as being liberal, multicultural, too worldly and dynamic to fall for Brexit. But 40% is, in fact, a lot, especially for something this dumb.
I liked embedded systems because I didn't have to write a GUI - most use of the module usage was with other systems so I had to design message protocols (no users, yay!)

So only about 400 startups of the 1100 that they tracked that took VC funding ended up with a status of "not dead yet". About 25 were wildly successful exits.

So, the raw odds of being the co-founder of a VC raising startup (using USA population) are about 1 in 150,000. That's actually pretty decent odds.

The chance of being the co-founder of a relatively successful VC funded startup are 1 in 412,500.

The chance for being a unicorn cofounder? 1 in 7,500,000.

Of course, these statistics should be weighted for ethnic, race, education, family backgrounds etc. There are more white/asian male CEOs than black female CEOs for example, which is a tragic and depressing reality.

For context, the chance of turning $10,000 into $3,500,000 through a private arrangement with a casino is about 1 in 36.

If a tool is written in an interpreted language or has to load a large VM on each invocation than a large percentage of the total runtime of the CLI tool will be spent on language-specific tasks.

This is the opposite of surprising and writing scare headlines betrays an extremely shallow understanding of the mortgage market. Simply put, the GSEs were created to underwrite high quality mortgages, in fact they are legally compelled to do so. That's why they exist.

There are more conforming, high quality mortgages than there were in the run up to the financial crisis. You don't hear about zero interest or liar loans any more because they're mostly not available any more. It's a good thing that those products aren't available any more. The average quality of mortgages is much, much higher. The flip side of that is that of course the GSEs have increased the size of their balance sheets: that's exactly what they were designed to do! This is like getting mad at a tree you planted for growing leaves.
huh youre right, some kind of UI fail there but otherwise all good thanks
> Would you also argue that women take more time off to have babies so it’s only fair on employers not to hire them?

No, hiring no women simply because they get babies would be silly.

How long the person will likely stay with the company and which extended leaves they will be taking is of course a factor in the hiring decision. Both of those events incur a real and measurable cost to the company. But there are many reasons why males and females leave or take time off, babies are only one of them. And it is only one factor among many. Expected job performance, personality, the effects of certain team compositions, customer perception, etc all have a bigger effect on the company than the baby factor and thus should be weighed accordingly.

xsv doesn't exist if it was written in Python. It would definitively be too slow. If you don't care about performance and would rather not wait a couple minutes to build the tool on your Pi, then go use csvkit, which is written in Python. The availability of software isn't a zero sum game.
Chrome lets you have different accounts per window, which is nice. Firefox supports different accounts per tab, or the optional Facebook Container extension blocks communication to Facebook domains in all tabs outside of the Facebook container.
Ah, yes, I forgot to mention that. This is basically Firefox learning from Chrome's mistakes after 10 years, just as Chrome learned from Netscape's mistakes. Chrome added in-browser support to profiles, then Firefox added preference and add-on sharing.
