Could such a workaround come to the Rust language in the future. Maybe other programs will need a "safe" way to implement something similar that is currently impossible with the safe methods offered by Rust.
Well, yes, possibly.

However, it may turn out to be a canvas of "art", who knows?
Well, he has the basics like data control structures, database usage, a little bit OOP. I think the missing link is how to build real world processes with it.

I'm sure we will find basics that are missing and will have to fill that with knowledge, but we have a good starting point.

By what you said above, don't underestimate yourself there. Building scripts that touch real things to make it better working for you (and others) is a great step on the journey to write good code! Thanks for your feedback :)
Yep. I'm not disputing the injustice (at least, as his essay lays it out -- some comments on the article tell a different story of him being difficult to work with).

But contracts not being renewed -- happens all the time in the "real" world. My point is just: good people don't get their contracts renewed all the time, often for silly or dumb reasons, and it's not some cosmic injustice because most people find another job.

The fact that finding one of these jobs is so difficult should not change the basic risk/reward stature of at-will employment.
My statement ("you don't get to set the price, the when, the where, or the how") was shorthand for "the worker must be “free from control” of the larger company". Apologies I wasn't more clear initially; editing my comment to bring it in line with what the statute says would remove context, so I just leave it as-is, even though I didn't comprehensively express the idea initially (which was my mistake).

This is why online car shopping needs to be a thing. I experienced the exact same thing. I'm a highly informed customer who knew every car I wanted to see but almost every sales guy ignored that fact, besides at a Honda location. Which isn't surprising that I ended up with a Honda.

I would have bought it online if I could and it's very possible I wouldn't have ended up with a Honda, that has to play a role in each company's auto sales.

> He complains that you need to redraw your GUI at 60 FPS, but this is wrong, you should be able to draw with it only when needed.

Yep, he did that, as stated here from TFA:

> The solution was to redraw only when needed: as a quick hack I introduced a global boolean doRedraw and set it to true only when an input event was received or the internal application state had been changed (e.g. the framebuffer had been updated). Then the drawing would only happen when doRedraw was set to true. Surely this could be done in a nicer way, but the general concept would be the same.

His issue was this...

> I really don’t want to do a Donald E. Knuth here and spend too much time on a problem that has already been solved on the OS graphics library level in a perfectly satisfactory manner. I just want to call drawText() and be done with it!

I love this book. It’s fun to read and also really informative.
With enough coding, you can "do anything" in any Turing complete language. This is meaningless. It doesn't mean it is advisable (simple, maintainable) to do so. C does not support a syntax for closures, so you'll really just be calling functions with an 'environment' arg or something similar. What's the point?
If I can’t extract even a speck of nutritional value from an article after three minutes I give up. Terribly written.

A "secret sauce" is a thing that makes your product better, that no one else knows, and that they would likely have difficulty in reproducing in a timely fashion.

You'll still have to go over the firewall, you'll just be closer to it. It will be nice to see if the new region decreases the latency between the cn-north-1 or cn-northwest-1 regions and AWS global regions over DX connections. Right now, the majority of private leased connections in/out of China surface in HK, so ap-southeast-1 has been our region of choice for the global side of DX connections.

Notes from Meeting with Alan Kay
It could be taught to most people, but aptitude correlates with enjoyment - if they don’t get joy from creating things, or they don’t enjoy spending time in a world they have to use their imagination to fully see, then they will probably never learn to code. I don’t know if you can get people to enjoy these things if they don’t already by the time they’re 25 or so. Everyone is naturally either more cerebral or more somatic, and environment can affect this balance, but once the brain is done developing there’s not much that can be done to change it. In my experience, somatic folks take a lot less readily to software and try to figure out a way to avoid figuring out the actual problems.
Indie workers may get rewarded for their crunch efforts. Usual startup worker caveats apply that far more indie development companies bankrupt than succeed, and even in a small, early startup not all stock is equivalent (depending on funding sources and corporate politics).

You can poke through this bug https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/18208 and the referenced skia bugs. There's a Metal backend in the works already, but if you really for some reason refuse to use OpenGL even though it works fine Skia's Vulkan backend works fine and MoltenVK exists now.

That makes sense, thanks. I apologize for my acerbic ignorance in the above comment.
There is no GFW in Hong Kong, so you enjoy unfettered Internet access.

Have people stopped developing Android apps?
A lot of open sources are abandoned in general. Google has a good track record regarding the maintenance of their open source projects. Google has abandoned some proprietary products (Google Reader, Google +, etc.), but it says nothing about their open source strategy.
True. Couple of things on that.

Yes, the existing supply chain is not geared towards EVs (which is serious problem in terms of chanel masters and such). Still the knowledge and tools and processes and people are there. Combine that with the fact that an EV is actually less complex an ICE powered car incumbents, I assume, should be able to switch easily (biggest issues being internal struggles keeping them from executing as a lot of powerful people in these companies have to loose a lot). Still, the basis is there as is the purchasing power and the aftermarket activities and such.

As far as Tesla is concerned, they have production hell and delivery hell. On top of that I suspect they have a kind of procurement hell as well with Panasonic as one the most important suppliers. Together that results in Supply Chain hell. So while Tesla's SC is geared towards EVs im not sure on the execution side.

But this is just my outside point of view.
Very excited, this is the fast & productive non-electron native Desktop Apps UI I've been waiting for.

Most people use Electron because most native GUI's suck as they're antiquated APIs are unproductive with slow dev/iteration times. Flutter lets you build beautiful Material Apps using a refreshingly modern Reactive UI with built-in hot reloading.

Dart is like a cleaner Typed version of JavaScript, a bit more static and restrictive in someways but still really easy to pick up and learn if you have any 'C-like' language experience.
So you favor comments that sound catchy at the expense of being true?
I think the pipelines are absurd, too (actually, I think the entire Unix shell is a Rube Goldberg contraption that we would be better off without), but that's not the focus of the comment I was replying to.
So, write a short pitch story where Anna has been using web archival for a month or so, while on the bus remembers this discussion on a topic she had with Jamie and having seen a relevant web article some time back. She then uses the search feature in the app on her phone to find it, highlights the important quote, and shares it to Jamie.

BTW can Jamie receive this highlighted document if she doesn't use Polar? Say as a PDF? That would be cool, and really help spreading the word about Polar, simply by usage.

While bonuses can help, expecting them to prevent resentment is, in my opinion, misguided.
In that case, why use a whiteboard instead of a collaborative text editor like coderpad, repl.it, or even gnu screen?

Testing in an environment completely different from 'production' isn't going to give a super strong signal on collaborative problem solving imo.

And they will also use gait detection and cross reference with other data. It's a lost cause.
I think it's a combination of CYA, government regulations, and simplifying operations for AWS. Without an ICP, you're not allowed any web presence in CN, which would require AWSCN to either modify services that are publicly available by default or not offering them. Instead, if they make an ICP a requirement, they have a defensible position with CN regulators, who really just want a throat to choke.

As AWSCN is reasonably far behind compared to Global regions, and they've already enough complexity just doing business in China, so I think it's completely reasonable the trade-off they've made or been forced to make here regarding ICP.

>The best developers I hired were far from ideal candidates.

The author seems to be suggesting that there is a negative correlation between a candidate’s CV and previous accomplishments and their future accomplishments without offering any evidence. How many of Google’s top developers fit in this bucket? Many of the top devs I’ve met were prodigies—it wasn’t a misfit toys story that the author claims. Sorry, it’s a nice story and it may be true but this is a pretty bold claim.
It's important to note that this study focuses on data from 15-year-olds taking a math test.
I assert that drawing broad conclusions based on that sample is suspect and may be, in fact, bullshit itself.

Same here, I ended up going into an Audi dealer after the Bolt fiasco, and it was a night and day difference. When I asked a question about a car, they answered it happily! When I wanted to look at a car, they took me to a few. When I wanted to test drive one, they pulled up their inventory of cars and asked what one I want to test drive.

No "you don't want that", no "we are trying to keep the miles down on that one", no condescending talk about how some other car is probably more in my range.

And unsurprisingly I ended up getting an Audi!

It's one of the big reasons why I think the whole "online sales" thing is perfect with Tesla. They have showrooms in many places where those who want to look at and ask questions about the cars can go, and when you actually want to buy, you buy it like something off amazon, and it gets delivered when ready.

This was a really cool service, sad to see it go. It took 7 days to receive the fitting suit. We ordered 1 jeans, 1 t-shirt, 1 long-sleeve shirt and it took about 40 days to be shipped from ZOZO then about another week to arrive.

Overall I was really happy with the service and the novelty of it made it a great gift.

Quarkus Why Compile to Native
In general it's just really disappointing that in 2019 the development frameworks we have available are still objectively worse in terms of developer productivity, reliability, and documentation than what we had with Microsoft Visual Basic or Borland Delphi back in 1996. I totally understand that these modern frameworks are superior when it comes to cross-platform compatibility and easy application distribution, but everything else seems like a step backwards, or at best sideways.
"Native" is actually overloaded in the era of hybrid web apps - there are two pivots:

- Native code - does the GUI framework compile to machine code?

- Native widgets - does the GUI framework use platform widgets, or a platform agnostic layer?

In the context of Revery, we used "native" to mean "native code", ie, "compiles to machine code" - and further clarify in the README. It's important for us to make this differentiation - because often people look at the framework and assume its JavaScript.

Do you have a suggestion on how to clarify this?

Note that, if you're interested in using the platform UI - there's a project called Brisk (https://github.com/briskml/brisk) that is very similar to Revery, but uses platform UI frameworks (Cocoa/Win32/etc).
Cross platform desktop app development will always fall short.

Not all platforms have the same user interfaces/paradigms. What is the Windows equivalent of the OSX dock? What is Linux's equivalent?

Most cross platform frameworks solve that kind of problem by letting you write platform specific code. The problem there of course is that you're just writing multiple apps again, often in a non-native or at least second class, language. (By second class I mean it's not what the OS authors intended their apps to be written in.)
Literally everywhere? I don't think I've worked in a work environment to date where at least half of anyone in a management position was not a complete BSer. It honestly made me wonder if that's what it takes to move up.
