Furthermore, programming in Rust has some unique challenges (like the borrow-checker) that make traditional line-for-line or function-for-function re-writes unfavorable. The average Rust re-implementation tends to do more re-architecture than the average $FOOLANG re-implementation, which tends to make them more education.

There's also an aspect that Rust is still seen as "unproven," compared to its rather bold goals and claims. A re-implementation of something existing is a good opportunity to see how well Rust-in-practice manages to approach Rust-in-theory, and in some ways is better for that purpose than a green-field Rust project.

Personally I prefer post-mortem write-ups rather than links to an active code-base, but you take what you can get.
As somebody that's in JS all day but rarely touches backend, hearing about go, rust, kubernetes, docker, etc make it feel like backend is similarly fast-changing.

The difference seems to be in the narrative about the older tech. The "rails is still fine" crowd is loud, which is great. There is no equivalent for older JS tech. Though I would be willing to believe that's because things like jQuery are full of dated patterns that lead to bad times.

Not only did they leave old code in the system, but they made changes to it without reviewing whether the old code would still work correctly, despite still being callable:

In 2003, Knight ceased using the Power Peg functionality. In 2005, Knight moved the tracking of cumulative shares function in the Power Peg code to an earlier point in the SMARS code sequence. Knight did not retest the Power Peg code after moving the cumulative quantity function to determine whether Power Peg would still function correctly if called.

If you want to leave the old code in, fine, but then it still needs to be tested.

I enjoyed the story but found the author(s) practically peddling Shannon's importance as if any of that was needed. All in all the writing in form and substance seemed to me of low quality and in search of dramatic revision and editing. Great history job and lazy writing,
> From what I've read on some pilot forums, Boeing made a few errors:

I'll agree with #2-4, but #1 was the entire point of MCAS - to reduce the response of the aircraft to pulling back on the yoke in high AOA situations. Disabling MCAS when pulling back on the yoke would thus make the aircraft less safe, and cause it to (rightly) fail certification.
SEEKING WORK | Remote, Montreal

I'm an independent consultant/data scientist, interested and able to work at many locations in a data pipeline: from the app layer to custom processing algorithms (including machine learning stuff).

https://cjauvin.github.io
The separate apps thing is overblown (although that sentiment seems to be shared in these comments). If you're making a monolith web app, you can be safe just chucking it into one django app. If you're concerned about code organization, you can do that in one app with either sub apps or just turning files into packages later. I think this is a more productive strategy for django beginners.

If you've identified some clean, generic problem where you want to reuse the code or open source it, make it a separate app. If you have a web site with areas that barely interact with each other, make it into separate apps (a chef's website where the recipes are separate from the cooking classes calendar). If you know what you're doing and feel like separate apps will help with organization, then split them up as well. Otherwise, one is fine.
Completely agree, though sometimes you HAVE to go through existing source when you do something wrong. I've implemented libraries based off of specs and white papers, and even then there's some vagueness that doesn't work in practice when there are holes.

Love to see things like this all the same as they tend to solidify protocols/specifications. This of course can have both good and bad results.
In one case, $200k is being given to a high school in exchange for an education that may be of significantly higher quality than the public schools in that area (it varies widely).

In the other case, $10M is being given to the university in order to fund a building.

The better question is, what are the similarities? Different amounts of money are being given to different parties for different purposes. Everything is different. The only thing that's the same is that they're all sort of vaguely related to education.
I think the point is that big corporations don't believe in the value and depth of talent. They're not trying to find the world's top software engineers; they just want to find enough good engineers to fill their quota. What that means is that they don't care about depth. They don't care if the candidate is a genius in their domain; they just want to hire people who can reliably solve coding problems; that's it.

It's quantitative, not qualitative; it's not about how well the candidate can solve problems - The 'if' is much more important to them than the 'how'. Unfortunately, not many people have the ability to objectively measure the quality of a technical solution, that's why they don't bother at all with the 'how'.

Vey interesting but again will the same amount of core and memory result in the same amount of transaction per seconds?

How can we easily know what is the optimal number of CPU core and Memory needed to achieve X Transaction per seconds ?

I know benefit of memory depend on cache hit rate, or how large is your working set. But assuming 100% cache hit rate how many core do you really need ?

> Currently in the US the largest health insurance provider is actually medicare/medicaid.

Medicaid is more 50 different insurance providers (it's run by each state—with separate programs for, at least, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, and it's not even a single insurer in every state, e.g., California uses a number of county-level managed care plans as well as a traditional fee-for-service plan.) And all of them are separate from Medicare. Which also is less of a single insurer with common coverage policies than it seems on the face (even excluding Medicare Advantage, which is just publicly subsidized private insurance), since whether any given procedure in reasonable and necessary and therefore covered in any given geogrpahical area in Medicare depends on local coverage determinations made by the private insurer that is the Medicare Administrative Contractor for that region and claim type (there are separate contractors, with different geogrpahical regions, for regular part A&B claims, home health and hospice claims, and durable medical equipment claims.)
I don't see how he's portraying it differently. He's still essentially banking on some utopian vision actually coming true. Replacing welfare? Sure we may be able to decrease it, but what are we gonna do with the minority of people that squander their UBI check? Let them starve? His VAT proposal isn't even on the same order of magnitude of what it would take to pay for the program. Heck, even if you add up the proposed VAT tax and all the purported savings it doesn't even add up to the cost of the UBI checks let alone the administrative overhead:

(5-6bn in welfare cuts) +

(8bn in vat) +

(5-6bn in magic economic growth) +

(1-2bn in cutting stuff he doesn't really elaborate on) =

(1.8-2.1trn).

So even if all his fantastic predictions come true we're still short of the 3.1 trillion to give 1k UBI checks to all ~260m adult Americans.
>When you get an offer to leave your boss gets more leverage as well to offer you more comp.

That's a good indicator of sub-par company that you're better served if you avoid it, in the long run.
Take a look at the example: https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus#gitstatusd. Even though this example uses ZSH, it's just for exposition. It launches gitstatusd, writes a request to its stdin, reads the request from stdout and prints it. You can discern from it the format it uses for requests and responses.

There is also a formal description of request/response format in `gitstatusd --help`, or in https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus/blob/master/src/options....

I think a solution could be to have classes based on age groups..giving kids 5 years to finish 5 years worth of curriculum so they can finish at their own pace and then grade them at the end of the five year term.

This way, if something is easy or interesting...or tough or boring, kids can choose how they want to tackle it. Having many different ages in the same class without the pressure to finish everything crammed within one year should help. Here is where maybe bright kids can teach kids that need help..or older kids can help younger ones.

Example: ages 5-10 study together in huge single room schoolhouses ..each one on whatever they want to learn. Ages 11-15 is another group etc. amongst them, they can be in sub groups according to interest or ability. A class can have 4-5 teachers who can tackle all of the subjects. Volunteer parents.

Test and grade them at the end of five years. Only test them every year or semester.
Reference is from interviews, alluded to on his policy page "A Universal Basic Income at this level would permanently grow the economy by 12.56 to 13.10 percent—or about $2.5 trillion by 2025—and it would increase the labor force by 4.5 to 4.7 million people. Putting money into people’s hands and keeping it there would be a perpetual boost and support to job growth and the economy."

For browser I already use firefox, so I could easily add ublock origin (or, I suppose, adblock plus). Having a DNS level adblocker is just a nice to have for anything not browser based that decides ads are a good idea.

In all honesty it's pretty rare that I use anything not browser based that might have ads, but on principle I'd like to keep it around.
Market participants can sell anything short by picking up the phone. Retail accounts still can’t sell Lyft short because there are no shares available to borrow. Also there is still not yet an options market available to all, but again if you’re a trader and you can get someone to write you an option there you go.
So if oil is found in Fed land in Alaska, Exxon will get to pump it for "next to nothing"? No special taxes, per barrel fee?
This has actually been studied quite a bit, and it would appear that the increased optimization of dating apps has caused a huge inequality in the dating "market". It can even be quantified with the Gini Coefficient, a measure of economic inequality. [1]

> It was determined that the bottom 80% of men (in terms of attractiveness) are competing for the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are competing for the top 20% of men.

And anecdotally, it is consistent with what I have observed. I am troubled by the effect this might have on our society. I am sure that it is sowing resentment among those who have been left behind. Our society is more sexualized than ever; people are bombarded with messages about how great sex is, and yet it is less available than ever.

We could then classify the exporting of Dollars as the 2nd most profitable "business" [0]

"Last year, the United States exported $65.3 billion of its currency — mostly $100 bills."

"Printing dollars, after all, is a very profitable business. Ranked by value, greenbacks finished second on the list of America’s most valuable export products, just behind refined petroleum. But exporting money is much more profitable. It costs the federal government around 14 cents to produce a $100 bill, and a few more cents to send it overseas.

In exchange for each of those bills, the United States gets an interest-free loan of $100. At the end of 2018, foreign holdings of American currency totaled $773.9 billion."

Thanks. I also think our current government is one of the worst, the problem is that the western leaders doesn't genuinely want to help us from our point of view, it seems that they want puppets like the South Korea and Japan. Human rights, environment issues are just tools they use to make us look bad.
