Coming from being a former MailChimp tech support agent (regular tech support, not compliance support), I can say that while I was in tech support, all account data is accessible on the company’s backend and for closed accounts, their data is available for 3 months after the close date. Open accounts aren’t pushed to dormant status until 2 years after no send and no login activity. Pretty happy that I’m no longer there; MailChimp was fine but they don’t pay their support agents enough for the kinds of stress and bad management they have to go through.
I suspect the answer is, Rust ignores the general case, and simply doesn't let you do anything that's not provably correct.

Cooling and power dictate just how much computation you can squeeze out of a data center. There’s even a fancy CS theorem about it. ARM really makes x86 look antiquated in this regard.

Medium term, I expect Intel to look much more innovative than current. Long term, we’re either all dead because the robots won or uploaded to the cloud hive mind once our contributions to the universe outweigh our costs.
No. But would take a stand against Patreon, and only Patreon, if such a thing were to occur. Patreon is "free" to cultivate their public image as they see fit and I am free to stop using them, discourage others from using it, etc. Nothing to do with their take on free speech.

The argument that you’re being “forced” to hear arguments you don’t want to hear is equally as farcical. Just, like, turn off your screen man.
> For the vast majority of symbols, stock borrow is cheap at institutional size

Stock borrow costs vary from symbol to symbol. The ones you want tend to be the ones you pay for. Moreover, cheap doesn't mean free. Shorting half of one's portfolio is rancidity expensive compared to buying some puts. Even that is pretty expensive for total hedging purposes.

At the end of the day, most long-short funds are not market neutral. The ones that are operate on minuscule time horizons, and are better categorized as shadow market makers than funds. (Both in their operation and fundraising mechanics, the short-term traders tending to be more likely to deploy permanent--versus limited--capital.)
>I don't think anyone is saying that there should be a law that forces Patreon to allow everyone on their platform.

I am saying essentially that; there should be a law that forces Patreon and other companies (those oligarchic payment processors, Google, Facebook, twitter, etc) which basically qualify as utility companies to allow people on their platform, unless those people abuse(d) those platforms for severe unlawful activities (crimes). Or they should lose their service provider status and all those "safe harbor" exceptions that come with it, e.g. DMCA safe harbor.

Same as the your local electricity provider (probably a monopoly in your area; tho you can always run a generator aka your "soapbox" pendant all those comments in here are talking about :p) should not be allowed to stop serving you because you wrote a blog ranting about their bad customer service.

I am also saying: Companies are not people, and (their) money is not speech, and I'm all for limiting companies' "free speech" in that their "free speech" cannot discriminate other people. Companies are already limited that way anyway to a degree, be it anti-discrimination legislation when it comes to the work place or the current state of "protected classes" on which they may not base a refusal of service.

It's misleading to talk about sugar when the problem is obesity.

I don't have answers to your questions as I am not an expert on nutrition and it would be stupid to hold opinions on what I don't know. However, I don't have to be an expert on nutrition to note that the UCSF link is contradicting other domain experts (may or may not be damning) and is being intellectually dishonest (definitely damning).

Ebooks leveled off at around 30-35% of sales a few years ago and are in slight decline. I work in libraries with ebooks and though our trend is still upward, that's more about unmet demand and the curve has leveled in the past two years. I think the market for ebooks will slowly grow as the technology improves, but it's a long way from overtaking the physical book.

According to that we should all be using COBOL

Also the Dependent Haskell work of Richard Eisenberg I'd argue is more important as an attempt to shrink the language than add expressive power. The main thing it does is combine existing language features, which only yields more constructs insofar as the old features had friction. You can think of it roughly as taking the convex hull (or probably better bounding parallelepiped) of the existing feature space.

Seen in this light, I've never such a thing attempted at this scale (GHC's size and GHC/Haskell's age), and very much commend it. Hope other things can do the same thing someday.
heck all the theorists of the hyperreal, too, including Baudrillard, Postman:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality

"Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins.[1] It allows the co-mingling of physical reality with virtual reality (VR) and human intelligence with artificial intelligence (AI).[1] Individuals may find themselves, for different reasons, more in tune or involved with the hyperreal world and less with the physical real world."
Note that this is not the case for virtual kubelet-based implementations, and your point here and above are specific to how Kata works (the article is talking more generally).

> I do think it's important for it to be consistent with browser standards.

There's no browser standard about .mjs. In fact the web doesn't really notice file extensions; it goes by media types and attributes. A browser knows that something is JavaScript because it is served with the application/javascript media type (or similar), and it knows it is a module because the <script> element has a type=module attribute.

A lot of the talk about "browser equivalence" is extremely loosely worded and leads people to think that .mjs is a browser thing, but it's not. It's a Node thing. What they want is for code to work the same way whether it's running on Node or running in a browser. The problem they face is that Node hasn't got the type attribute to decide whether something is a module or not, so they can't use the same mechanism the browser has.

The solution they have devised is to assume that .mjs is a JavaScript module and .js is not. The consequence is that if you want the same code to work in Node and on the web, you've got to change what happens on the web to follow the Node idea of naming things .mjs. Otherwise when you import a module named .js – which works in the browser – it will fail in Node. So this isn't about making Node match what happens in the browser, it's about making what happens in the browser match the Node approach, which is not a standard in any sense.
I work with ereaders and every so often a member of the press or community stakeholder will ask me when the book will die. My half joking response is: eventually, but not before I retire. I also have a prepared half-joke where I ask the person to think about the book like they might review a piece of technology. It's inexpensive, lightweight, durable, has a UI we've spent our whole life learning, is browsable and though not searchable, they've come up with some clever workarounds to make searching possible. It's also got a great screen resolution and the battery life is excellent. The book has a lot going for it compared to the ereader and it has a long life ahead of it.
'Toxic' and 'hate' are at very least abusable just like 'fake news'. We need to be careful and verifiable about how something is 'toxic' or 'hate' - since as seen by any marketing slogan with soundalikes to defined terms undefined terms will mean what they want them to nothing more.

Toxic should have a meaning and something /explainable/ in detail why it is toxic so that it can at least be a seed for discussion. Say for instance that League of Legend's gameplay is a breeder of toxic interactions due to its dependence on unknown teammates, anonymity, and the ability to allow disgruntled or incompetent actors to deliberately throw the game above and beyond under-performance by giving XP to the other team deliberately.

Even if one disagrees with the reasoning it can lead to actual counter reasoning and it is less readily abusible as it needs a rationale for why something is toxic.

As opposed to toxic as in 'pointing out that beloved approach X doesn't seem to work that well' just because it is disagreed with.

It is for this reason why I personally think hate speech is an ambiguous term that should generally be defined more fully if it is used in a context where the definition will matter. Saying that you dislike this platform because it is full of hate speech is fine - it is a matter of personal opinion. Saying that the law should do something about hate speech needs to be well defined.

Hate crimes are recognized and respected as a doctrine because they highlight an additional and separate aspect that makes it more heinous than just the initial crime. If someone burns an innocent man alive they are a horrible person who should be charged for the horrific murder. If someone burns a given person alive as an example to all of their class (minority, sexuality, religion) - they have committed two crimes - both the grisly murder and what may be termed 'ethnic intimidation' - it was a threat to the victim's whole class of people as an additional party wronged.

Ask HN: How do you negotiate a big raise in startup equity?
This transcript shows Patreons malintent rather than alleviate our concerns with it, because they cut out essential context and in Matt Christiansens call with Patreon they admit the real cause was that they don't like his brand [1]. I challenge you to find racism and anti-semitic content on his channel.

Transcript: "exactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with y'all", the last word should be "the alt-right".

Context: How is it not clear from reading this that he is saying that you act like a negative stereotype you've created? The alt-right Sargon is arguing against are (known for being) racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-homosexual. They used said slurs in the chat accompanying the livestream.

Transcript: "kikes are ruining everything"

Context: calling them out on acting like nazis - "And I see, like, 'kikes are ruining everything'. [laughs] Good—good—good job. Should tackle field [I can't understand this sentence]. You're making your movement look like you're not full of Nazis[clearly an ironic remark]! Great! Bravo!"

Context: him calling the alt-right out for turning on one of their own because he is married to a Jewish person - "It's just like how Mike Enoch was treated, when people found out his wife was Jewish. It's just like, he had to go dark, he had to go off the internet, because of the way these people treat him. It's like, holy shit, that's one of your own? Oh, he's married to a Jew, well, I guess, that's a bit of bad luck to be married before he was an alt-righter. Yes, he did, well, there we go. Kind of like 'Millenial was sucking a dick'. You know, it's like, it's crazy. You guys have no decorum. There's no level too low to go to."

They do have to be here to be voted down, though. But they show up often enough in threads that deviate into gender politics (particularly as regards hiring and women in tech,) gender biology and, unsurprisingly, feminism. And codes of conduct. For some weird reason, a lot of people seem to believe software codes of conduct are a feminist conspiracy.

That's fair. When I say I'm terrible with money I mean more in the realm of saving vs. spending. I have a small amount in savings for emergencies/cash flow safety but I definitely do not have 6 months worth of expenses set aside or hundreds of thousands of dollars in my 401(k) as some of my peers seem to. Also, if I'm being totally honest my retirement plan is basically to never retire, partly for financial reasons but also because I like working in my current industry and staying busy and don't see that changing.

Part of that comes from being in a high cost-of-living area with a child and student loan debt, but I also know that a part of it is due to the fact that I buy things I don't need way too often.

The thing is that the description method in the Error trait in the stdlib is broken. I can't find the post on the internals.rust-lang.org atm, but the author of Failure has a plan for backwards compatibly fixing it and eventually moving (parts of) failure into the stdlib.

The other thing about Rust error handling is the amount of boilerplate to convert between errors. Error-chain and failure are two iterations on how to deal with it. Failure seems to be the current best practices.

Alternatively, not responding to mass media scandals as if they're indicative of real life.
I hesitate answering because I am not really a software engineer, but I think a strong understanding of philosophy will probably help. I see a lot of other comments in this thread recommending empathy, organizing, hermeneutics, etc. Most of that goes under the admittedly large umbrella of philosophy.

Software engineering/programming is somewhat distinct in most fields because you can by some abstraction recreate and scale a thought with high fidelity. In the past, we could transfer or spread thoughts through books or other media. This might've created some sort of mimetic action on the consumer of the media, but it would probably be some corruption of the initial thought of the author. Consider for example, Marx claiming that "what is certain is that I myself am not a Marxist" (not that I am intending to start a political discussion, just to point out that sometimes artists distance themselves from the art). By contrast, a computer program is a thought that is enacted with precision each time it is called. Which is what makes the content of program so philosophically important. Ethics of course becomes paramount because speech is now action in a much more salient way than it ever was before. But the questions of values and of aesthetics should also be considered.

You will probably have to carve out your own fields of study within philosophy and how it relates to computer science beyond the usual accelerationism, trolley car problems, digital physics, etc, but I think it will be well worth it if I'm just giving my two cents here.
