"What you are describing is simply a JIT compiler."

The user is describing the opposite of a JIT compiler: a gradual rewrite of Python apps in Rust to feed into an ahead-of-time, highly-optimizing compiler. A JIT compiler would do quick compiles of Python code while it's running. The performance, reliability, and security capabilities of JIT vs AOT vary considerably with context. For predictability and security, I avoid JIT's wherever possible in favor of AOT's.

But this is student coverage: the expensive problems tend to:

1) come along later

2) not be wel reimbursed (eg: 60%), so if it can wait, many will until they have employment and better coverage.
Sure, it’s a clear intentional misinterpretation. Probably not the worst miscarriage of justice that occurred in that person’s case. Probably they were arrested for something that shouldn’t have even been a crime in the first place. But the person who said it is also an idiot.
Some of this is lack of IT experience in general vs with AWS, and just plain laziness.

Still, it's interesting because some of it requires that you actively work against AWS to achieve (e.g. publicly accessible RDS). Could be that they gave up on, say, security groups and just found that to be the easiest way to "get it to work" (a frequent overriding directive).

In any case, I'd put some of it on Amazon too. Their documentation always struck me as piecemeal and task-oriented; lacking a sense of overall architecture or design.

But, I suppose that's what certifications are for.
their gross return is probably just a couple percent but then they leverage the crap out of it, which they can easily do since the strategy is designed to have very low volatility.
I have no idea how the law would interpret it, but while 'hostile warlike act' might narrow the scope as you suggest, 'hostile or warlike act' would seem to widen the scope to any hostile act, warlike or not. (Are there any non-hostile warlike acts? Accidents such as so-called 'friendly fire' incidents might fit...)
Finally someone mentions this! If Apple would really care about the environment they would make their devices easily serviceable!
No.

A white suspect who said the same thing would probably have gotten a lawyer. The idiom "dog" is widely understood and used outside the black community, like "bro," "dude", "man", and there is no possible way “Why don’t you just give me a lawyer, dog?” was honestly interpreted as a request for a canid that passed the bar exam.
Car rental companies seem to deploy exactly the kind of tactics that motivates my skepticism of insurance companies in general.

Car rental companies are notorious for deploying high pressure sales tactics to bully customers into paying for damage waiver or insurance upgrades. I’ve heard of companies basing bonuses for employees on these conversions and I’ve also heard of companies that just have a hard and fast quota with policies like “you need to get this many upsells per unit time or you are automatically fired”.

The fee structure and legalese for rental cars is often customer hostile for the purpose of scaring people into paying for upgrades they don’t need — and in many cases very large categories of risk are excluded from coverage via tricky language ...

I rented from a company called goldcar in Spain recently. Their rental prices are insanely low (paid 30 euro for a car for 3 weeks). They seem to make money entirely on the extras and the float of your excess deposit. They charge you your excess in full when you pick up the car (1200 euro for the car I had) then refund you when you return minus any damages. I’ve rented from them a few times and they do some shadey things which I’ve learned to be careful about.

- They have a range of constantly changing and sometimes screwy refueling policies: buy the tank in advance return empty, “flex fuel” where you pay a (non-refundable!) fee to pay a deposit on the tank and then get refunded your deposit based on how much fuel is in the tank when you return it, and (only sometimes and seemingly at a different rental rate) buy full return full.
- Once they charged my card in dollars rather than euros (without asking) resulting in a huge 5% currency conversion fee by their payment processor - I can’t imagine that fee doesn’t make it back to them in some amount ... (that really pissed me off and I probably wouldn’t ever have rented from them again but I actually didn’t notice this until much later)

I think they’ve gotten dinged in the past for some illegal/deceptive practices. I personally have mostly come our ahead using them — but only by being careful and knowing exactly what to say/do on each rental experience ... I think from recent rental experiences it has gotten less scammy for me.

The mentality necessary to navigate rental car insurance decision making seems the same mindset required to engage in business with other insurance entities - most insurance markets generally seem ripe to me for similar adversarial game playing ...
Then the state has the incentive to fund the prosecutor's office to 0% because they can make defendants pay for it as soon as they want to defend themselves at all, and prosecutors get the incentive to create massive administrative burdens because every dollar a defendant spends dealing with their obstructionism is another dollar they get from the defendant.

You also screw over the poor because now their defense costs are doubled (on top of the obstructionism) when they couldn't afford them to begin with.

And if a defendant spends $50,000 to successfully prove that it was someone else, now they have to pay $50,000 to the prosecutor's office for falsely accusing them. Unless the prosecutor only gets the money if they win, in which case we get a whole new set of problematic incentives on the other side (make up evidence to win major cases or your office goes bankrupt), and we're back to the original problem where the rich get away with everything by outspending the government and then don't have to pay because they got away with it.
The dilemma klodoph mentions is:

> [Performance] isn't [...] one of the selling points of Rust

or

> this [...] software has been implemented poorly

It sounds like you're maligning Rust (isn't keeping promises) or RustPython (is implemented poorly), and it's easy to read "implemented poorly" as an attack on the implementers.
I’m discussing how the author of the article said that every black person who speaks another dialect can also speak standard English. This has been my experience. I don’t speak to court personnel using the same language that I used to speak to people on the street. I speak clearly and precisely because I am aware of the consequences of being misinterpreted.

Interesting. That whole section reads as a (one way?) free trade agreement. I know the treaty was intended to punish Germany, and that would fit.

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

In some places, it's not merely a theory.

Why the discrepancy? Maybe it's geographic as the other commenters suggests. The Netherlands is in the middle of somewhere while New Zealand is in the middle of nowhere. That sounds plausible to me. I think it might also be cultural. The Netherlands is known around the world for their sex industry, New Zealand is not. This makes the Netherlands a more rational destination for profit seeking predators.
My pet peeve about developer blogs is people who have only been using a language (or framework, or whatever) for a couple of weeks writing about their experiences with it. Sorry, but I'll find your experiences interesting once you've shipped a significant chunk of code in that language, let's say after half a year of full-time experience. If I want to know what it's like to write a toy application in that language, I'll just do it myself, not read a blog post about it written by someone with only a superficial knowledge of it.

> Blogging about blogging

That's something we can agree on. If a "developer blog" has an article called "Why Every Developer Must Have a Blog", it's a strong signal of low quality content - it tells me that the author apparently likes to make sweeping generalizations without thinking about what they're saying. Either that, or they have nothing interesting to say about more substantive topics.

In fact, I suspect that blog posts like "Here's What I Have To Say About Rust After Using It For Two Weeks" are usually written by people who have just read an article about "Why Every Developer Must Have a Blog" and are now convinced that they desperately need their own blog, despite having nothing interesting to say.

> No code syntax highlighting

People have different tastes. Personally, I find it very distracting to be looking at code in a rainbow of different colors, with tokens like identifiers, keywords, numbers and strings all screaming for attention due to their unique coloring. All these types of tokens can be easily identified without syntax coloring if you're familiar with the syntax of just about any programming language. (The only syntax highlighting I ever use is to make comments slightly less emphasized than code.)

> Having an always visible side bar with your profile picture staring at the reader

Another thing we can agree on. What someone looks like has no bearing on how interesting their writing is, and I find it creepy to have someone staring at me from the screen while I'm trying to read.

Warren Buffet did not make his fortune as an absentee investor playing the stock market. Not even close.

He invested one-on-one, in businesses he thoroughly understood, after a lot of research and understanding of the business. Think less scanning a spreadsheet or stock data and more CNBC's "The Profit" -- walking around a factory floor, looking through accounts receivable, talking to the assembly team, talking to customers. THEN making a decision to invest a lot of money and steer the direction of the business.
Probably startup culture is a better descriptor though I do think you often see the same mindset in at least outside looking in attitudes about the newer large SV employers.
Really interesting article. This line was funny though: "can remember the differences between a stack and a heap".
> Took me a while, but I got 97% efficiency with single core DGEMM.

In my experience, it's pretty widely accepted that VLIW (and EPIC) can achieve high performance and efficiency on highly regular tasks such as GEMM and FFT. That's why VLIW has been and continues to be popular for DSPs. The struggle for VLIW is general purpose code that doesn't necessarily have that same kind of regularity.
I find getting by easier now that my kids are grown and out of the house and my wife works and has excellent health insurance for us. People often can get by just fine on less money the older they get. It is when you are young and have kids that you wish you had some sort of payday.
I am a middle aged dev, and I expect to become you. I expect that my skills will become less valuable over time, and that my age will limit my possibilities.

They really don't though. Thus one defendant for so many cases.
But if the logic before (for, say, whether to loan people money) was some sort of flowchart or checklist or whatever, it may be bad, but it's inspectable, and so could be examined, evaluated, and changed. The DL/ML creates effectively uninspectable black boxes.
It's far more likely that the US isn't breaking up Google or Facebook because they aren't monopolies in the traditional sense, and even if they were, US anti-trust law has been neutered by decades of classical liberalism.

There are a number of physiologically plausible mechanisms underlying various plausible therapies that turn out not to have clinical effects. That is why we test them empirically.

We have a situation here that I have seen a few times and I need help understanding it.

We have an article in the New York Times.
Some dude on Twitter reacts to it.
You link to the dude on Twitter instead of the Times.

Why?

Even worse, you did not even link to the dude on Twitter.
You link to some unrelated "thread unrolling" service, carefully making sure nobody who did any of the work gets any of the traffic.

Have they treated you unfairly in the past to deserve this as punishment? I don't get it.

That aside: McKinsey may be a horrible company, but they didn't make opioids. Shouldn't we be focusing on the opiod makers here? I'm saying this as a European who has no skin in the game.

Ah okay makes sense! It's amazing the gaps in knowledge I still have with a lot of things.

I've used Linux daily for like 15 years now, and I know about control characters, but since I never really used emacs (or readline beyond the copy+pasted command here or there) I just completely missed the meaning.
My comment is very clearly in response to the OP's questioning:

>"are BCG, Bain, the consulting arms of the Big 4 any more ethical in what they will or won't do for a paying client?"

This is literally asking "what about the other big 4 consulting companies?" There is nothing "misplaced" about my usage of the term here.

The article is about a lawsuit in which a specific company - Mckinsey is named as a defendant which I also stated. So clearly I have actually provided a reason for my assertion.

Lastly disproportionality of media coverage - of which the OP's does not provide any evidence of, does not make the lawsuit any less credible.
Well, it's definitely a possibility. I am not trying to attack them, it might be the case, or it might not. I was just trying to get possible reasons, and that's what came to mind. I'm sure there are other reasons, that's why I asked.

I really don't know how slow it is, I've not done benchmarks, but given that Rust is supposed to be efficient, it certainly can't be that slow, unless the implementation is really poor, I guess. I'm not saying it is because I don't know. If anyone has done benchmarks, please do share!

The reason for why I got the idea that it is slow, is that I believed the parent[1], and people have repeatedly claimed that CPython is slow.

[1] "to eventually get the same or better performance as CPython."

I assume this means that it is slower than CPython, and CPython is already extremely slow according to some people even on this page.

Sorry for the confusion. :)

Well fuck, we absolutely don't need any new lawyers. They suck donkey balls. And got us into this mess to begin with. Leeches on society.
All of this is a leftover from the days when *nix was a multiuser OS and used as such. It completely ignores the way we use machines now, with only one owner, and expectations of only one user. In fact, I can’t imagine loaning my work laptop to anyone, for security reasons, nor my personal laptop, because that’s just gross AND a security violation.

Computing power is so cheap now, that we don’t need to share machines when working in the cloud, either. We can, and do, log into our own VMs, work on data and software and commit back to an intermediary before final merge into a shared repository.

Perhaps it’s time to return to some version of single user OSes and clean up the relics left behind by no-loner-needed multiuser environments.
I think it is you who has missed the point. I deal with the legal system in my native language. It happenes to be standard English but I’m not so ethnocentric in my thinking to believe that non native speakers of standard English should be not able to interact with the legal system in their native language.
And they can sell information to your insurance company etc. It doesn't have to be only about targetting you with ads. Information about you can be valuable in other ways.

Dealing with unnecessary build and packaging complications, often dictated by legacy constraints, is a distraction for a systems programmer and does nothing for the quality of the software itself.

That phrase is just a series of boo words concatenated together, as in, "wage (booooo) slave (booooo) of the surveillance (I'll give you that one) capitalists (boooo)." It is too woven in with the "capitalists (boooo)" movement to be effective as a rallying point for people that don't want to overturn all of society.

Do you mind being a little more specific? Increased sex drive?
There's a lot of click bait going on in here. A coup in Venezuela wouldn't disrupt a democratic order because there is no democratic order in Venezuela.

The article assumes that Maduro is a legitimate President. That is simply not true, there is solid evidence of plenty of fraud on the last election, the rule of the law is long gone in there, the justice courts are puppets of the regime, the legislative is silenced by force.

What is at stake here is just whether the military keep supporting the caudillo Maduro or not. Democracy is out of this game already.

Your comparison assumes that the alternative to backdoor Roth is a traditional IRA contribution. The (ab)use of backdoor Roth contributions is commonly done by high-earning employees who have access to a 401(k)/Roth 401(k) plan. In this situation none of their IRA contributions are actually tax deductible at all!

So the 'backdoor' Roth contribution allows such people to invest post-tax dollars w/ Roth benefits when the IRS income limits seemingly make it clear that they shouldn't be able to contribute in this fashion. Why does the IRS have income limits on Roth IRA contributions but then allow them to be so easily bypassed in this manner?

> assuming growth and tax rates remain the same.

Big assumption.
No, it's wildly misleading:

>And the basis for this comes from the second
interview, where I believe the defendant ambiguously referenced a lawyer—
prefacing that statement with “if y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know
that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what’s
up.”
As this Court has written, “[i]f a suspect makes a reference to an attorney that
is ambiguous or equivocal in that a reasonable police officer in light of the
circumstances would have understood only that the suspect might be invoking his
right to counsel, the cessation of questioning is not required.” State v. Payne, 2001-
3196, p. 10 (La. 12/4/02), 833 So.2d 927, 935 (citations omitted and emphasis in
original); see also Davis v. United States, 512 U.S. 452, 462, 114 S.Ct. 2350, 2357,
129 L.Ed.2d 362 (1994) (agreeing with the lower courts’ conclusion that the statement “[m]aybe I should talk to a lawyer” is not an unambiguous request for a
lawyer). In my view, the defendant’s ambiguous and equivocal reference to a
“lawyer dog” does not constitute an invocation of counsel that warrants termination
of the interview and does not violate Edwards v. Arizona,

https://www.lasc.org/opinions/2017/17KK0954.sjc.addconc.pdf

It's pretty obvious that the judge does not think that there are lawyer dogs and that the word "dog" in that sentence has no bearing on the judges opinion.
