He claims he'll litigate for the rest of his life. I suspect he'll keep finding new ways to refuse to comply, each time getting a type of citation that is different from the others based on the letter of the law (though not its spirit), and appeal each one as far as it'll go.
If you want an easy time finding a job, Java or Javascript will definitely accomplish that.

It is not however impossible to find jobs in Rust at the moment. I think January's Who is Hiring post had 5 rust job listings. Rust is still not used in a wide range of industries, but you can find a number of opportunities in crypto, fintech, security, and even a few big data shops.

And yes, there's even more jobs that aren't always out there on public channels. Good reason to attend your local rust meetup.
This doesn't conflict with what I said, and I do not disagree.

Yep.

There have been three occasions where the IT contracting firm I was working for sent me to work on government IT projects as a contractor. None of them were for Revenue, but it is Revenue who do these checks for all other departments. On one occasion my employer managed to pull a few strings to get me on the project (DSP), on the other two I was told no government work for me (HSE and DoT).

On one of the three three occasions I was forwarded an email from Revenue that said "he expresses a desire for personal privacy that indicates he would be unwilling to fully embrace the governments data sharing strategy".

I did write to a few news outlets about this, none were interested. Even the ICCL wasn't interested, which really surprised me.

>Eating meat is natural

Relieving yourself outdoors is natural, and we've been doing it for ages. Killing intraspecies rivals/competitors is natural, and we've been doing it for ages. Dying of a preventable disease is natural, and we've been doing it for ages. I don't think we should base our behavior off naturalistic fallacies.

Is eating meat better for your health than abstaining? Usually not. Is eating meat better for the environment? Usually not. It's very easy to just eat meat and dismiss veganism as impractical because that's the socially dominant position to have.

It's easier than ever to transition to a more vegan diet. There are hundreds of replacement products to ease your transition if it's something you care about. There are ethical, environmental, and health-conscious reasons to reduce or eliminate meat consumption. Conversely, many arguments for eating meat are just appeals to tradition or appeals to nature. The industrial production of meat, which is universally detested, actually supplies the vast majority of meat consumed in the US.
Yeah, Inventory is up which will hopefully lead to price drops. I've seen a few over the previous months but nothing that's extreme which does make it appear as simply stagnation.

> My litmus test for how actually necessary a job is: what does the organization do when the worker takes a month of parental leave?

this seems more or less orthogonal to how necessary a job is. really what this question tests is time sensitivity. if you're the only engineer working on a project that needs to be done within a year, you could conceivably go on leave any month other than the last one or two of the year. if you're a fast food worker and you want to take a month off, they will either need to hire someone else entirely or make you carefully coordinate getting your shifts covered by co-workers. I don't think this implies the fast food employee is more necessary than the engineer.

FYI, async/await (a promise type + async function decoration + await expressions) was actually invented by C#. It was designed to operate seamlessly with .NET's concurrency framework, the TPL, which uses a thread pool. So it was actually the case that Javascript took async/await and removed threading.
My family had government cheese growing up. Was very very soft, only lightly more dense than cream cheese. Was hard to cut because was too hard for a butter knife but too soft for a carving knife.

In a related note. I had a new client in fall of 2018. The purpose was to build a system that collected and tracked competitors prices across a portfolio of enterprise products. When we first started talking the Director of Operations indicated that they were looking at hiring an entry level pricing analyst who would track competitors prices and use that market information plus other internal information to set appropriate prices for their own company. This was across about 4000 model/part numbers.

About 40 to 50 hours into the project I have a show and tell demo on what I had developed so far. At the end of the meeting the Director of Operations leans back and says.
"What I envisioned as the never ending, never caught up task of collecting and organizing competitive pricing is now going to be 1 or 2 hours a day for someone."

Developer me was proud to hear that. I heard/understood the real business requirements and developed a system that automates away 90% of the repetitive drudgery of the overall task leaving someone better able to spend time on edge cases and what is changing in the market.

On the other hand I felt slightly guilty that maybe now someone who is already too busy will get this added to their plate because it is just an hour or two a day. And, that someone else who could really use an entry level analysis job, won't get one because I automated it away before they could even get started.

In the end developer me will keep building stuff like this because that is what is valued and helps pay my bills.

I agree that American "cheese" definitely gives a cheeseburger that classic flavor, but I disagree that there aren't plenty of other cheeses that work on a burger. Cheddar, provolone, gruyere. Hell, even Swiss. It's not the same, obviously, but personally I enjoy it more. YMMV, of course; we're literally talking about personal taste here.
It seems to me that gyroscope data is merely input, rather than personal data. In other words, I'm not sure asking permission before accessing gyroscope data makes any more sense than asking permission before accepting touch screen input. Or for desktop applications, asking permission before accepting keyboard/mouse input.
No distributists either.
You can draw a small amount of current from the logic signal in high state and store it in a small amount of capacitance, a low enough power device would be able to operate off of it. There is a class of sensors which use and interface called 1-wire which is ground and signal/power (2 pins).

You don't need a very accurate clock (quartz) for ~100 Mhz SPI. A ring oscillator is just a chain of inverters. If you want to match the bus frequency accurately you can train a PLL against the signal clock.

Not sure what the point is about the pullup, to flip the bit you need only to overpower the output buffers of the other chip.

Cramming it all in a 0402 would be a stretch but I could see it being possible with the right resources. Having only 2 pins would be pretty useless if you can't snoop the address though. And modern NOR devices on a motherboard is almost certainly using the high speed 4 pin serial interface rather than standard SPI.
Surely it asks explicitly for permission to use the sensor?
You only need one girl to replace the previous one. If you keep more than one, then your herd size increases (which you usually don't want).

When I was a kid my family raised three young kestrels (small birds of prey that look like a hawk) who had lost their mother. They had an outdoor enclosure and we did not handle them much, but they understandably got attached.

Once we released them, they stayed in the area and would often swoop out of the sky and land on my head. It gave visiting neighbors and friends quite a surprise! We gradually saw less of the birds as they ventured farther out and eventually they moved on completely.
There is no way to interpret AnCap charitably. It's like asking me to interpret antivax nonsense or climate denial charitably. And it should be met with the same incredulity and ridicule. While we're at it let's go ahead and say the holocaust wasn't so bad, because the nonsense that is AnCap will lead to the same ends. And if you want to flag my comments as being against "HN guidelines" go ahead. If they actually evaluate my comments and decide that I am being "uncharitable" then this forum has devolved into what I have always feared it would become. I've been on HN for over 8 years now.

The Internet and Pinyin input methods has rendered these calls of reform largely irrelevant. Handwriting skills outside the education system are on the decline due to digitization, but the positive side is that any literate individual can utilize Chinese characters in online communication with trivial effort. For non-trivial ones there are always online dictionaries which can be accessed via online search in seconds.

An opinion on the Chinese language from 1984 is not applicable in 2018, pretending that it does is disingenuous.
Big companies definitely hire people -- at all levels -- who are completely irrelevant. Managers have a big incentive to hire more people because they will then have more direct reports. Directors want more managers. VP's want more directors, etc...

I was on a small team at a big company in 1998. Due to recent mergers there were duplicated teams across the company. A big initiative came out that our team was in line to respond to. We (about 10 of us) put together a highly functional prototype in a couple months, put it forward showing we could take it on. Another team went out and hired 200 people and had no other presentation than an org structure. They won, and I learned a lesson.

> The same applies to a luxury car

Yeah I don't think Luxury cars give a big level of satisfaction.

For me, I have always felt that I can easily spend $20 and have a weekend of fun, or $100 and have a night out at a bar. The $20 for a weekend feels better.

That's the point. There are better forms of entertainment. The problem is that socializing is also a need our brain has that takes a back-seat.

Edit: Current society has most of our motivations to do things kinda met: games & tv, social media & game groups, porn. More or less you can control most of your basic motivations without the need for socializing or doing things that cost more than a bit of money. I'd argue 200 years ago it would be impossible to be satisfied even at that level without major social gatherings and such.
Thanks for catching that, we will fix that ASAP!
They are launching processors in the middle of the year. If they reveal too much 4-6 months out, Intel has way too much time to adjust their prices, change their marketing, put pressure on suppliers, etc.

This leaves a lot of guesswork. Intel has to be prepared for multi-chip, chip + CPU, faster chips, slower chips (maybe this was a golden sample), etc which makes it much harder to adjust in preparation.
You may know it already but as a PSA: you can usually avoid source builds on `brew install` and `brew upgrade` if you do it without options (such as `--with-lldb`). Unless you customize your installation using options, Homebrew will install your package from bottle, which is infinity times faster than building from source.
There are several reasons:

1. Key distribution is a difficult problem. Where do you go to look up what the public keys are? The only obvious answer is the email provider, which brings us to...

2. Your email is already in practice secure from everyone except you, anyone with access to your email address, and your email provider. Your IMAP, SMTP, and POP connections are all secured with TLS anyways, and the MX connections between your email provider and your recipients' email providers are likely to be secured with TLS as well if at least one of them is Big Email Provider. (Even if that's not the case, this communication is occurring over the Internet backbone which is generally only tappable by the sorts of people who could probably get into your personal email account via other means anyways--the extra value is probably illusory).

3. Secure email doesn't actually secure any headers. Given that From/To/Date is going to be implicated by SMTP logs anyways, and these are the most useful headers for intelligence analysis, there's not much that oculd have been improved.

4. You lose the ability to do full-text search (or even header search, if you designed it to hide the headers as well).

5. Anti-spam measures become basically impossible with encrypted email; you'd have to push everything client-side, which is going to get annoying when you're trying spam detection on your smartphone for 10x the messages and you have to spend extra time decrypting each one.

6. Deploying any automated public-key infrastructure requires somehow automating the verification process. The verification process that can be automated is "this came from a person who has access to this email account," but the verification process that people want is "this came from the person whose name is associated with this email account," which we don't know how to automate.
> Employment today is increasingly a heavily biased and ethically corrupt way of implementing UBI.

I've see this said similarly before but find it unbelievable. Why would any company want to employ people en masse as a benefit primarily for the employees?

How would that even arise? And if it did, how wouldn't another more efficient company out-compete them?

I accept that it's possible companies don't want to invest in or take the risk of automation, but that's nothing like it being some kind of conscious UBI-like policy decision.

You seem to be attacking a straw man. Nobody said that anonymity was the sole driver of bad comments. Certainly I didn't.
nickp mentioned some alternatives, basically verified C or model-driven development for cases where it really matters.

Anyway, if we stick to standard commercial projects, I'd say the languages I enumerated are solid C++ (and Rust) competitors, because C++ at least isn't used to develop only super-performant or low-level bit twiddling SW, and I don't see why Rust would be either.

Obj-C was a solid C++ competitor on anything Apple and now Swift maybe even more so. It's a great language that can get you 95% there and I can almost guarantee that the remaining 5% won't be Rust, but rather C or C++.

Same goes more or less for Android with Java or Kotlin. Having a GC didn't stop them from becoming the platform standard, despite the embarassing growing pains they had.

It's really a game of platforms. Almost no one would pick a language because it's memory-safe, it's just a standard feature for most kinds of software developed nowadays.

For the SW where Rust and C++ would both be good fit (gaming?, audio, video, etc), C++ is entrenched and it's very unlikely that companies will have to justify using it instead of Rust in 2019 or 2020, erc when it's already the default in the first place.
And, that someone else who could really use an entry level analysis job, won't get one because I automated it away before they could even get started.

You didn't take a job away from anyone. You freed up someone from drudgery so that they could do more valuable work instead. This is EXACTLY how society gets richer. We have hundreds of years of evidence that this is the case.

> What would you think of a boarding school, where there is a meritocratic selection of child candidates from among primarily underprivileged families? The families that are selected receive a payment. The child is housed, schooled, and given rigorous training in a prestigious performance art.

If this is a public, regulated social institution, then I see no problem with it. I don't want to say that children shouldn't be made to do work, but removing them from a family environment to be exploited absolutely draws the line. I just don't know where precisely to make that legal distinction.

> Parents often override the personal autonomy of their children "for their own good."

And that's fine. We have a fairly good understanding of what constitutes child abuse, it's the removal from the family that needs to be carefully considered.
"Meat processed in a humane way" - there is no such thing. "Humane meat" is an oxymorone. 1) What is the definition of humane 2) Whatever that definition is, i really doubt it includes killing a sentient being that does not want to die.

Also moral stand is - an injustice is happening and you refuse to support it- in this case innocent animals are killed, the environment is trashed for future generations. etc. Ideological stand - I personally belief in A and B. An Ideological stand or belief is by definition subjective. A moral stand - there is a victim involved.

Yes, you are trying to antagonize.

For any average non-foodie person such as myself, the selection of any major metropolitan city (quality, variety, diversity of ethnic origin) is far more than sufficient.

If you're trying to make some obscure, excessively-specific, metric-based argument based on number of stars and specific obscure cuisines that are missing to satisfy the extreme foodie, that's also trying to be antagonistic, because it's aimed at an exceedingly narrow audience.
Not at a 10x price difference it isn't, at least if you're at all price conscious and looking for workstations / small clusters. This makes it far cheaper to just re-run simulations as necessary to get the same statistical guarantees with regards to memory corruption errors.
