> Rust and C have an advantage because both are fairly close to the metal, Rust in no_std mode isn't much different than C but the compiler is angry at you all the time.

Those things the compiler is angry about? Those are things that would be runtime errors in C.

`rustc` is pedantic because it needs to be in order to provide the assurances it gives. There is a subset of "valid" Rust code that `rustc` rejects because it isn't smart enough to understand it would be safe, but I would guess that those cases are less common than than the cases of "seemingly valid" Rust code that is in reality problematic if it were accepted.

Beyond that, I would like to hear what errors have made you feel like the compiler "is angry" at you instead of feeling the compiler "is trying to help me". We spend an inordinate amount of effort on 1) accepting code that we should accept by improving ergonomics, 2) provide extensive suggestions when "seemingly correct" code hits the wall of `rustc`'s understanding, language design or things addressable by ergonomics, and 3) provide as good explanations as possible for all other cases. Because of this, I believe the experience of a newcomer today is much better than even a year ago, even though it can still be improved.
The success rate of AA is somewhere around 5-10%. Perfectly accurate stats are hard to acquire due to the nature of the disease of addiction, and the programs themselves intentionally do not track efficacy rate (after all, a program based on religious ideology instead of actual evidence has hilariously become the defacto prescription for drug addiction in the american legal system. Why ruin a good thing?). You would achieve a similar efficacy rate by giving addicts a sugar pill and telling them it was a miracle drug that cures addiction.

Also instead of taking the time to write out multiple comments expressing your doubt as to the efficacy of AA, you could've found the information you needed in a single google search.

It's amazing how weirdly managed some TLDs are. There was the controversy with .io, but my favorite experience was .pn (Pitcairn Islands apparently.) I had a .pn domain for a year, that I bought directly from their nic. The trouble is, it's practically all managed manually. Luckily I didn't really need to, but I was not sure at all how to renew a .pn domain because I purchased it from a form that let me specify nameservers and a domain - that's it.

Some registars support it but generally only with business subscriptions like Gandi's - so it's actually cheaper to buy it directly. But I still find it fascinating how not-automated it all was.

I'm going to answer this question a little differently, because enforceability can also depend on facts and circumstances. Think of the binding / non-binding distinction as more of a social commitment signal. The No Shop means that once the company and investor both sign, they're pledging to work together to figure out this deal along these high level terms for the next 30 days. They've made a commitment to each other. Venture is a relatively small community and going back on your word gets around. Social consequences can be just as bad as legal ones.

If the right thing to do is fucking over their employees, they definitely did the right thing. I'm sure plenty of people agree with you and don't see a problem fucking over employees, especially on HN. But the actual right thing to do would be to make sure their employees take time off every year and can't accrue so much vacation. Problem solved without anyone getting fucked over and with happier, more productive employees and a better business outcome. Clearly such solutions are beyond the grasp of the average business owner / CEO / COO. No, let's work them to death and then fuck them over, they are not people, they don't deserve better, seems to be the default philosophy and the one you are espousing here. Just because the law allows one to be the asshole you describe doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Far from it.
> In a large scale war consumer electronics and massive quantities of consumer goods would not be a priority. Thing s like food, bullets, clothing, fuel, tanks etc would be and all of that can easily be manufactured in the US.

I'm not so sure. A modern army also needs things like radios, navigation aids, data-link terminals, etc. in massive quantities. The supply chains for those things have more in common with consumer electronics than with those for food, fuel, and bullets.

In WWII, I understand that the US converted its civilian manufacturing base from making things like civilian cars to making tanks and airplanes. I'd think it'd be a lot easier to covert a manufacturing base than to build one from scratch.
Nobody in Italy even cares about those contests (for one, they'd consider "ACS" a contradiction terms).

my latest theory is that people like participating in the news cycle more than they are inclined to consume it. click-bait and fake news lets people instantly rage / share, where as good journalism would be valuable to people who want to pause, comprehend and have an outlet that isn't just sharing, raging, etc.

which is probably why even big brand journalism hasn't really changed. the list of outlets that i block on twitter and apple news (the latest of which is forbes, for yet another installment in their "latest iPhone update has a NASTY SURPRISE" articles) grows weekly, but i can't get out of the clickbait content tsunami.

> This is a mutual agreement between two informed parties.

YC has put so much effort into founder education over the years precisely because that frequently has tended to not be the case. Quite the opposite.

I'm not sure what you're defining as informed here (mutually responsible for understanding what is being signed, sure), however I would point to knowledgeable as the more important term. The problem continues to frequently be that founders and early employees are nowhere near as mutually knowledgeable as their counterpoints in the VC world, who are elite professionals at these deals and do them for a living.

There's a great statement above by @mnemotronic that summarizes the routine imbalance between the two sides: "I'm a software guy. Most of that sheet is a foreign language to me."

I can sympathize, I've been dealing with VCs since the late 1990s and the terms/legal side is still an immense chore.

> I also don't understand why you invoked class warfare here, which really undermines any credibility to your argument.

No it doesn't, because it's not invoking class warfare, it's making a point about the typically dramatic financial condition and personal risk imbalance between the two sides (the personal damage absorbed if things go south). Founders and early employees can easily see their lives ruined if a venture fails, it's a not uncommon outcome, HN sees such stories posted regularly.

Lay waste to everything of value until the enemy surrenders on terms you can accept then leave. Sure there will be resentment but traditionally this is how wars were "won" prior to 1945. The rebuilding of Europe and Japan after WW2 was the first big break from the status quo.

Obviously this assumes a conventional war without nukes. Nuclear powers don't get in shooting wars with other nuclear powers (see Cuban missile crisis) so it doesn't really matter.

90% of this is wrong. Oracle bought Sun in 2009, and continued to make substantial contributions for years after that, and they still have developers actively contributing to Btrfs. The idea they merged the ZFS and Btrfs teams is absurd, the two file systems are nothing alike either in terms of design, on disk format, or code base.

Btrfs is on maintenance mode? Based on what evidence? There's 1k-2k commits per kernel cycle. There are dozens of developers actively working on it. Facebook is certainly using it in production for high availability in concert with Gluster FS, they're also using Btrfs almost exclusively with Tupperware, their containerization service.

Red Hat has quite a lot of device mapper, LVM, and XFS developers so it makes sense for them to work on storage solutions that continue to build on that. And Red Hat hasn't been significantly contributing to Btrfs for many years now, so their lack of interest isn't new and hasn't affected Btrfs development.

They almost certainly do not want to get into a possible public argument and hounding them for answers will have nothing but the opposite effect. Large companies have their own way of doing things and what you or I think is irrelevant.

Upvoting the parent. The comment is worthwhile and merits discussion. Should not have been downvoted.

The comment that this is a way of reducing investor risk and may yield a higher valuation is well-taken. But founders should not agree to it, because their risk is far, far, far higher than that of the investors.

A founder gets one shot, or maybe two or three shots, in their lifetime. An investor gets many shots across a diversified portfolio. A founder puts their career and their financial future across in this one basket. They put their sanity and their personal happiness in this basket. An investor puts nothing but a small portion of their, or more frequently other people's, wealth in this basket.

Making it less likely that a founder will get a payoff is just stupid. A founder should do everything they can to reduce their risk, even at the cost of a lower valuation.
I have a feeling you're less likely to have a company try to pull something on you when it's a very large company, especially one that operates in multiple states. That's likely because there might be a state where the law is a bit more specific and clear cut and having to deal with the resulting PR disaster from a case being brought pretty quickly overshadows most the money that might have been saved.

Additionally, Walmart in particular is no stranger to class-action suits brought from it's employees. Given how little Walmart pays the average employee and how profitable it is, this behavior would have a very little and well bounded guaranteed upside (saved money), but a large unknown possible downside (lawsuits, bad PR, etc). When profits are good, that risk reward ratio probably just doesn't look very worthwhile to most companies.
> Routine trips to the grocery store, helping with the homeschooling, and brief tickle sessions help to not be isolated in my case.

Doesn't that sort of betray your point that you're "at work" and not "at home?" I'm asking earnestly. I'm about to have twins and I work full-time from home, for the past 3 years and with no intention of going back to an office or to a co-working space.

I am trying now to get all of these sorts of ground rules decided on, and listed out, so that they can be established shortly after the children arrive.

My wife and most of my family already understand the "at work" vs. "at home" distinction and do their best to respect it on the rare occasions that they're around the house during a work day.

"but the investment [...] means that there will be a new ecosystem being built"

No, I don't think so. Any one company has a negligible impact on the size of the ecosystem. If everyone moved at the same time then, tautologically, the whole ecosystem would move. But there's a coordination problem involved. Each player is incentivised to wait for many others to move before doing so. If there was just the ecosystem issues, they would all stay in China forever.

If Foxconn is going there now, it somehow believes it's worth it to go now.
It's true, I was truly lucky :)
Going from memory here, since I can't find any references.

I believe there are problems in the handling of exceptions in constructors and destructors, which permeates into other parts of the language such as how arrays are constructed, etc. For one, the only way a constructor can fail is through an exception, and that's pretty heavy-handed for a language which markets itself as "don't pay for what you don't use." So you can't do RAII in C++ without exception handling. (Note that Rust solves this by not even having constructors.)

There are also some problems with exceptions being slow code paths, but that probably varies by compiler.

I've always avoided dynamically typed languages because of these types of issues so I guess this seems like a solved problem to me - just use a statically typed language. Clearly there are many people who are using dynamically typed languages for whatever reason though so I can see how better tooling might be useful to them.

I certainly make use of Stack Overflow, I was taking issue with the idea that significant time is spent copying and pasting code from the site though. I often refer to it to answer a programming related question but I almost never then copy and paste code. I'm looking for a pointer to a library or API, to understand some confusing or poorly documented behavior or for a workaround to a bug etc. and getting an answer to my question rarely leads to copying and pasting code in my experience.

Annual and quarterly unaudited is normally implied. Sometimes monthly too. Most good Series A investors understand that audited financials don't make sense this early and their lawyers will draft something like the audit requirement can be waived by the investor in any year, or that audits won't be required until 2-3 years out.
OP is probably referencing domain front running. Basically when you search a registrar for an available domain, if the domain is available they'll put a 5 day hold on the domain, making it available solely through that registrar but not others. It forces the searcher to buy it through that one registrar if they want it. I couldn't find any direct evidence of GoDaddy doing it, but there's a lot anecdotal reports of them doing it, and it's confirmed that Network Solutions was doing this.

Here’s my not coworking solution which has the advantage of letting you sing along with Bon Jovi at the top of your voice.

I built a 2x3m shed/office. Windows are second hand double glazed windows from gumtree. Power and ethernet are cables tacked to house, under a path and then running over ground under hedge. I used fallen branches from a local park to make a little fence so I cant run lawnmower over cables.

Heating was tricky. I landed with a 500w electric heater and raspberry pi as a thermostat. Optical relay and temerature sensor cost about £5. I have a cron job checking the temerature every 2 minutes and turning heater on/off for a target temperature. Some old computer fans blow the hot air at my feet.

There's no "pre-drive" inspection required like there is with all flying vehicles (it's not even safe to fly a low-complexity hang glider without a detailed pre-flight). The upkeep I'm talking about comes with constant and rigorous inspections of all of your single parts, and the consequences that come with failure. If one of your lift-generating blades has microcracks in it because it's been vibrating after an improperly set nut got a little loose, you could experience fan failure during flight and crash.
