So 1/4 people worry about money constantly. My guess is you could ask that question about a great variety of topics and get a similar result. I think the thing we are testing here is the cross section of those who are by default fearful and their exposure to whichever topic is on offer.
They claim there’s no pollution from our local plant at least, but we don’t burn plastic.
No. Reading censored foreign media doesn't get you in trouble, and it's extremely widespread. Posting anti-government opinions is what gets you in trouble.
None of the above. It's compiler magic. It's a keyword that says 'await on this awaitable object' (currently only a Future can be await-ed).

You can read the OP which contains links to more blog posts on the reasoning. I think this is a bad decision precisely because of the questions you're asking. At least making it a 'magic method' (i.e., Future::await(...) or future.await()) with no implementation would have been better in basically every way. A 'dot' operator already exists and this just makes it confusing.
Why can't we do both? This attitude that we can't ever do anything differently unless it's perfect is why we still ship stuff to China to be landfilled. At least if we keep the waste here we're taking ownership of the problem rather than sweeping it under the rug. Taking ownership is the first stop toward taking action.
That's a lousy example because Netflix movies are definitely encrypted.
this makes my eyes bleed
Yep, married now, probably 1 or 2 kids eventually. To add a bit of nuance to my first post, growth assumptions of 6% per year on the portfolio mean that the eventual expense associated with children is probably already baked into the plan, given how conservative a 3.5% withdrawal rate is. Not too bad to worry about financially.

Reasonable insurance means anticipated medical expenses are limited to out-of-pocket maximums per year, which is reasonable.
I have a mixed opinion about his first point.

There are two basic approaches to take with dependency management.

The first version is to lock down every dependency as tightly as you can to avoid accidentally breaking something. Which inevitably leads down the road to everything being locked to something archaic that can't be upgraded easily, and is incompatible with everything else. But with no idea what will break, or how to upgrade. I currently work at a company that went down that path and is now suffering for it.

The second version is upgrade early, upgrade often. This will occasionally lead to problems, but they tend to be temporary and easily fixed. And in the long run, your system will age better. Google is an excellent example of a company that does this.

The post assumes that the first version should be your model. But having seen both up close and personal, my sympathies actually lie with the second.

This is not to say that I'm against reproducible builds. I'm not. But if you want to lock down version numbers for a specific release, have an automated tool supply the right ones for you. And make it trivial to upgrade early, and upgrade often.
Immutable law of the internet--if you write a piece about financial hardship, you get out of touch scolds in the comments preaching frugality and self denial.

Take one single second to consider that maybe virtue alone isn't enough. The world has changed since you were young. Take some time to learn about it, and develop some empathy.
I haven't had to worry about money so long as I've been in software development. It's a great feeling. I grew up in rural poverty and I live in fear of losing what I have. That's why I'm currently working more than one remote dev job concurrently and earning 2 fulltime salaries; to amass as much wealth as I can before the current bubble pops.

> Many of the latest advancements in technology still have origins in university programs and the algorithms that one learns are still ever present in every piece of code that you write.

Were these advancements done by degree-seeking students? Probably not. These advancements are coming from psuedo-employees of the university. Instead of receiving payment, they're receiving a piece of letterhead.

Technical colleges do exist. Many institutions now have 'applied sciences' degrees for the associates level.

>One other thing I would like to import: the widely available, clean bathrooms all over the place. That was super nice.

Don't forget how almost every public restroom even has a washlet.

But we can't have these things in the US. Americans can't even be bothered to flush the toilet, and like to scrawl graffiti on bathroom walls. The only way we'd have the super-clean public bathrooms of Japan is to keep them locked, or have a pay-per-use scheme with cameras monitoring them to see who pees on the toilet seat without cleaning it.
Why not JS/C#/Python style `await foo()` is discussed here:

https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Await-Syntax-Write-Up-t9NlOSeI...

Main points against:

1. Interacts poorly with the ? operator for propagating errors. You'd need to do (await foo())?

2. Chains poorly. `await foo().bar().baz()`

- a. What are you awaiting? foo() or foo().bar().baz()

- b. What if you wanted to await foo().bar()? (await foo().bar()).baz() is messy.

- c. What if you wanted to chain promises? Like httpRequest.send().body() . In many libraries such as Python's requests, the first returns a future for a response with headers and only a later call waits until the body is returned. `await (await httpRequest.send()).body()`

Why not .await() or .await!():

Copy/paste on Docs at least used to be a feature you got from installing an extension or "app" in Chrome... I think maybe that now is preinstalled? (Or I've just had it for so long I don't notice)

On the other hand copy from the Docs menubar and custom right-click menu works for me right now in Firefox, with no addons that I'm aware of, so maybe this whole discussion is outdated.

This issue isn't Docker, Docker itself obviously can't deal with this. The issue is the examples and tutorial people provide on Docker packaging often don't talk about the requirements (pun intended) for reproducible builds at all.

Or they don't talk about need to run as not-root.

Or they suggest base images that are often broken in subtle ways (Alpine Linux).

Or they talk about multi-stage builds for small images, and neglect to explain that you've just destroyed your caching (this is fixable, but you need to know to expect it and how to fix it.)

Etc.

> All control flow mechanisms except await have their own statement: if, for, while, match. Howcome await is different? The dot await syntax might hide an await within an expression, as "just another method". You'll need to hunt it down.

Not quite; Rust is an expression-favoring language, so `if`, `match`, and even the `loop` keyword can all appear deep within expressions (the first two do so somewhat commonly; the latter is comparatively rare). In addition, the error-handling operator `?` is also used within expressions. (And while we're on the topic, let's remember that even C, a statement-heavy language, also has `?` as a control-flow operator that is not in statement position.)

Onboarding often requires things like criminal background checks, medical exams, city-issued permits, driver license validation, training, etc. You can't just show your Uber driver profile screen to Lyft to qualify as a driver for Lyft. You're in for a world of trouble if your onboarding flow is: "oh, I see you drove for Lyft for ~2 weeks, welcome to being one of the company owners, here are some health benefits!"

I just told you Uber/Lyft shareholders get zero dollars out of the operational money.
Economy is not zero sum. By working you create added value.
It feels like something out of Asimov’s Foundation trilogy. A telltale sign of a civilization in decline when the most advanced energy form accessible to mankind is being replaced by wood burning and windmills. Meanwhile people delusion themselves with arguments that renewable is more advanced. Our first energy source was renewable, but the energy density of wood is pitiful compared to nuclear.

>It might not be better to never create it if that means crippling the world's economy and all the death and suffering that would go along with that by never using plastics. What price is worth paying? Or perhaps you see lack of technology as a good thing?

Technology spawning problems that need solutions that require more technology, which makes new problems, so on and so forth...

There's a way to advance, and there's a way to advance in the short term at the expense of the long term.

Plastic, and your general policy regarding it's application, and the handling of it's externality falls squarely in the mortgage the future to squander now bucket. Blow up the world and minimal footprint to the point the only thing that can put off catastrophe is "the next big breakthrough." This guarantees development is directed entirely by the excesses of those who have already passed, leaving those just coming in to clean up the mess.

Sustainable development by definition minimizes the long term impact of technological adoption, and incentivized development of systems that are closer to an ideal closed loop system. Doing this ensures that at anytime, a stable system exists from which to innovate and that your capacity to observe the ramifications of changes is generally significantly higher, since you have time, data, and an understanding of how effects propagate throughout the physical and ecological network. Minor tweaks are generally buffered by long cycle processes.

Point being: one way of doing things results in a constant crisis of the week.

The other way results in the foundational understanding that actually enables any crisis to be accurately dealt with, and that overall, the system is in a largely stable configuration.

I know which way I'd go for.

Same here. I never buy from vending machines in the US or Europe. In Japan, the prices are low and the quality good, so I bought several things, including ice cream. There's no way I'd buy the garbage ice cream we make in America from a vending machine, but the stuff in Japan is pretty good and a nice treat on a hot day, and was only Y140.

That seems low if 40% of Americans can't find $400 for a surprise expense...or maybe the fact that it's so low is why they can't $400 if they needed it.

Obviously, some time in the past would have been better, but we've missed that already, so "now" is the best remaining option.

When we're currently on a course that is degrading the environment of the entire planet for all of us, the sooner we begin to alter that course, the better.
I define propaganda as deliberately attempting to mislead a significant population for political purposes.

I consider the two biggest problems with FB et al is that they are a paperclip optimiser for human attention, and that they are systematically exploitable by hostile actors. Filter bubbles are merely an emergent feature of that optimisation, not the cause.
Vitamin B1 deficiency causes beriberi, and white rice lacks B1. The article says that Japanese ships actually made a variety of food available but only white rice was free. It was the economic incentive that killed them.

Similarly, corn lacks vitamin B3, and a corn-only diet causes a disease called "pellagra", which was once common in the US among the poor.

If you read the ingredients on say a packet of corn flakes, you'll see thiamine and niacin (B1 and B3) are now added to prevent both kinds of disease.

Casimir Funk, who basically discovered vitamins, helped find the role of thiamin in the etiology of beriberi, and also investigated pellagra. Funk said that pellagra was caused by B3 deficiency in 1912, but nobody listened and pellagra continued to devastate parts of the US into the 1940s.
> equivalent of a 5 megaton explosion

Yep, the man greatly dramatises the story.

Total deaths from immediate "radiation poisoning" were likely less than 100, with possibly 100 more due to radionuclide ingestion.

Immediate DNA damage that does not result in radiation sickness, is much less lethal than popular culture suggests.

Another thing to add, the best protective equipment for nuclear disaster is a good respirator, and a chemsuit, and not the lead "x-ray suit" often portrayed in popular culture. The cause of most deaths during Chernobyl was smoke inhalation, seconded by radionuclide ingestion by people who ate contaminated meals from field kitchens.
The point is full text indexing could be required, but not at the moment when the data is persisted. Logrange groups data by tags, what is already type of a sparse indexing. Also, if records have time-stamps, like records of an application log, Logrange will use the time index for making requests.

When data is persisted and stored into partition (an analogue of database table), an external index could be built for accessing this data as well.

Even having the terabytes of data from multiple applications in one database, the full text index could be not needed for the rare requests like search of a phrase. The query usually narrows the sub set of the data which should be considered, by tags and the time window where the text is looked for.

While I agree with your point it is phrased wrong.

There have been two large scale nuclear disasters. BUT in those disasters less people died (globally) or will die (using LNT model) than Americans die per year from coal ash. By a fair amount too (4x-100x. 100x is the UN estimate from 2006). You could argue that 10x Americans die every year by cars than any person has died from nuclear. Because when it come to nuclear we're really only talking about 1 event that lead to deaths, and the HIGH estimates of that are still under 100k (for reference, the coal ash number is ~200k/yr, and cars are ~33k/yr). Which yeah, that's a lot of people, but not that many when you consider the time frame of all of nuclear power. Other energy sources and utilities have their deaths spread out over decades and location, the problem with nuclear is that it is temporally and physically concentrated.

But let me repeat the main point.

Every year more Americans die from coal ash than ALL the people who have ever died from any nuclear incident.

> We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

Sure! And this does not mean that once we are standing on them we can start to piss on their head. (e.g., the python programmers who despise C, or the matlab programmers who despise fortran). There is a worrying trend of ignorant programmers who dismiss "old-school" or "legacy" systems without realizing that they rely on them every day.

You can mock perl, for example, but then you buy a brand-new macbook pro and unless you run "file /usr/bin/*|grep -i perl|wc -l" you do not realize how much your computer depends on the this language.
Exactly. Solar is winning because of economics. Nuclear is losing because of economics.

Not true. XHTML and HTML have validators to check your markup for proper syntax and usage. You know that. You made one of them!

Good writers of markup will always check with those before they ship it. In the case of user supplied markup, that's still an issue today with HTML.
Do you have any customer support (experienced) people in your company ? Usually they have come across such behavior and help you dealing with them.

Your immediate goal should be shield your developers so that they can continue do work without any pressure.

Next, are you clients afraid of you not meeting deadlines or asking something which cannot be added to the product? The reason i asked this because, i had to deal with such customers in the past where

1) Paranoid Customers- Usually i found they pressure you because there is someone above them putting unrealistic expectations / pressure, identify if someone like that exist and try to get a someone higher than your grade level to talk to them .

2) Satisfying Ego / Giving Importance- We found certain situations even though the changes which customer asking don't make sense or they are expecting unrealistic deadlines and feel that we are not giving the enough importance, during these situations getting someone like a director or Vp on call made them feel more important and deescalated the issue.

this is absolutely true, but, what drives experiments are hypotheses, not just wishful thinking.

a hypothesis is "a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation."

it's arguable whether "is cold fusion possible?" is a valid hypothesis, because currently there is no accepted reason, evidence, observation, or starting point for that investigation. only the hope, the wish: "what if it was..."
