Might as well say the same things for a country that still heavily relies on fossil fuels, still doesn't have high speed rail, still has shitty internet speeds, has crumbling roads and infrastructure, and still uses these horrible air-conditioning units, and wooden (!!!) houses, not to mention their mobile internet situation...

I can propose anything, call it a regulation, and half the country will be ready to defend it to the death, telling opponents "if you don't like it you should try Somalia." The other half will oppose it reflexively.

>the needs of society.

Life in San Francisco works as least as well as life in Sunnyvale. Which needs of society are addressed by Sunnyvale's lower FAR and height limits, greater parking requirements, etc. and why don't these needs exist 30 miles to the north? What exactly is the need for protection from skyscrapers, and how are New Yorkers surviving their presence?
That’s exactly what I did, so yes.

This is a cool topic and OP put some effort into a cool investigation. But half way through I gave up because twitter kept bugging me to open an app and adjust some setting. It also used 25% of the screen showing framing info.

One more thing regarding Stylus: you can conditionally apply custom styles by adding a parameter to the rule, so you can sanitize e.g. the Twitter thread UI when you want to screenshot them without sacrificing the UI for normal use. Here's an example that is triggered by appending ?simple to a direct link to a tweet.

@-moz-document regexp("https://twitter.com/.*\\?simple") {
.translate-button,
.tweet-stats-container,
.stream-item-footer,
.ProfileTweet-actionList,
.inline-reply-tweetbox-container,
.UserNameBreak,
.tweet-timestamp {
display: none;
}

.tweet .time::before {
content: "";
}
}
Great tip, thanks, trying it now. Seems nicer and easier to tweak than spacemacs, from my perspective.
Will this affect more than just Google? I haven't seen any outages from other cloud providers.
It depends on what kind of company you are interviewing to.

Let's suppose it is a great and modern company.

They probably want you to be an enabler, which creates a good environment for the software developers to do great work, either by shielding them from other areas, when they need to. But also you need to display you are able to keep them in line at the same time. Also, obviously, a great communicator: you must always say the right things, at the right time.

You need to also be a great example. That doesn't mean you need to have many strengths and no weaknesses, but rather, that with given what you have, you play the best cards. Developers have no problem following suit from somebody they trust.
Probably not. Recession first impact vulnerable industries that depends on government subsidies, growth and innovations. The alternative energy companies are therefore first to be impacted. This is often exaggerated by reduced prices of conventional energy as consumption drops. You would typically see pull back in manufacturers releasing electric cars or people investing in building solar/wind farms.
AFAICT this does not really use Rust, or the Rust type system at all.

This is just a procedural macro that parses "Rust-like" syntax into an AST, and then 1:1 fold that AST into OpenCL. This AST is not type checked, and if you were to, for example, replace the usage of an `u32` in there with a `type U32 = u32;` then parsing will probably fail, because the proc macro doesn't know what `U32` means.

The OpenCL code that gets dumped into a byte string, is compiled at run-time by your graphics driver. The proc macro can probably, at best, try to verify that it is correct at compile-time, by passing the dump to some OpenCL verification tool, but it does not appear to be doing that right now.

It seems like a contradiction. Fear of recession is rational due to the world that we have all made - it is built around and addicted to growth, inovation, overconsumption.

For zero growth or negative growth world a lot would have to change significantly. From presonal choices to government policies.
This is just Ayn Randian reactionary propaganda, a society based on these hateful ideas is not one I would want to live in.
My accountant says to keep business and personal expenses separate. You don't have to, but if there's ever a tax review you don't want them to go through all your private accounts which is extra work. Same with e.g. computers. You can continue to use your private computer for work, you can also sell it to the LLC, long-term it's clearer if the LLC buys the hardware. There will always be some overlap. For example people usually don't have two mobile phone or two internet connections, instead (in my case) it's assumed 50% private use.
I think the position isn't then of a Director of Engineering. This seems to be more of a technical role. Lead Architect or something. Director of Engineering implies that you manage teams, not directly people/architecture/code.

Well your solution sounds a lot like a traditional chat network or forum, and I agree that they work better for community building. So I think we're probably on the same page there. However I don't think they would work unmodified, as a replacement for the much higher populations of the internet now.

Community driven content feed sites are not great at fostering close communities, but they are great at offering a more shallow community experience to more people at once. I want to blame feed style sites for the downfall of community online, but they are likely just a symptom of an influx of people online and needing a different way to accommodate that. Imagine a global chat network where #science had 20,000 chatters, how would you chat about anything meaningfully? So you can see feed sites as inverting the dynamic of community to cater for larger numbers, which matches your analogy with the ballroom and keynote speakers and also what happens in real life.

Community driven content feed sites definitely offer something that chatrooms or threaded discourse can't, which is discoverability of information over a broad range of topics in a short time period. But it does this at the expense of depth and community, and also at the expense of breadth of opinion.

Threaded chatrooms are actually a pretty cool alternative, and I would love for them to have more wide spread usage. You can enter some.network/#science for general chatter amongst friends, and then when a topic you care about comes up you and all the people who care can dive into a thread to talk about it.
Yes. There is already enough content out there for hundreds of lifetimes.

I didn't choose Russia as an example of economic and social freedom, you did. Russia is not high on the scale of social and economic freedom. In fact Russia has never ever been a democracy in its whole history. You want a better example? Chile.
This is how I would go about it as well. But I imagine that's a big expense for non-small companies, and not only through money but through the time of valuable professionals that could have spend the time improving the bottom line.

I too value less known providers. The human factor in support is priceless.
> There is a limit where this breaks down of course, but perhaps the solution is to accept the limit and have many smaller communities instead of one big one.

I totally agree. My suspicion is that reddit and other community driven content feed sites are a symptom of the influx of people showing up online. They became popular as they're a shallow enough community to work with a large population of participants. More in depth community can only be sustained meaningfully up to a certain amount of participants. Even in teams, there is a limit to how many people can be part of a team effectively and humans naturally break up into smaller groups within larger ones.

I don't know, but (at least some of) the apps that need multiple logins for precisely the scenario you suggest, seem to have solved this. Here in India we have some grocery apps that deliver (mainly perishables) every morning, such as Doodhwala (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bangertech...) and MilkBasket (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.milkbasket...).

So I register with my phone number, I get an OTP (via SMS) and login into the system to add stuff to my basket, etc. My wife also logs in from her phone, but rather than registering afresh, uses my phone number. Now I get another OTP which she uses to login from her phone. That's it. Same account is logged into on two different phones and the login persists.

I don't know if this is by accident or design, but it works. Hopefully it'll continue to work, and they don't try to "fix" it because it wasn't meant to be that way...
No, that doesn't make sense because you don't need the stamp. I have friends who have never left America after moving here and they're Indian and just never had their passport stamped with the visa. They receive H-1B approvals and just stay here, renewing the H-1B approval when needed.

You can absolutely renew your status in the US. It's just when you travel that you need to make sure you have it stamped to return.
>So then is esports really the artificial bubble industry, and not pro sports?

I'm not totally convinced it isn't. Franchise valuations and player salaries have been increasing at a very fast pace, all of which are propped up by television revenue. Should TV subscription numbers drop (as many predict they will), I'm not sure they can recapture that lost revenue.

It's not going to be a killer, likely, since they have other revenue streams such as merchandising, ticket sales, etc. But with many teams signing large, multi year deals just to stay competitive, I could see it causing a number of very painful years. It would not surprise me at all if at least one of the major professional leagues contracted sometime within the next decade.
Rust 1.0 wasn't even that stable or usable in production, albeit it is of course forward-compatible. NLL (introduced with Rust 2018) was a huge improvement in overall usability, and it's likely that we'll see even more such changes in areas such as async. Rust is quite far from true "maturity" in the C/Java/PHP sense.
Bragging about my own: https://github.com/andrey-utkin/taskdb/

My take starts from the most backend thing - the database.
Using PostgreSQL as data storage was a huge win, making all sorts of great features easy to do. Some highlights:

* I use Grafana with my own defined metrics, and it was a piece of cake to set up;

* I have two-ways sync with CalDAV calendaring, so I can see, and change scheduled date of a task in any calendaring app of my choice;

* I can have full power of SQL data management using SQL interface apps like OmniDB.
Cannot challenge with your own inhouse solutions, you say?

Challenge Accepted... and defeated: https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/03/magic-pocket-infrastr...

but to be fair, storage is core to Dropbox's business... this is not true for most companies.

Well, wait. Not taking sides on any particular economic system. But...

The global population is growing, correct?

So there should be at least some minimal growth to keep up with population growth, no?

Otherwise, if there is zero economic growth but a growing population, doesn't that imply increasing poverty?

Anecdote: I've seen recession prediction virtually every month by some trustworthy brilliant person during past 2 years. One of them was Mark Cuban who actually went all cash in last October/November. This is what he had done just before year 2000 bubble popped and he was one of the few surviving billionaires. To his credit, market did went bust on December 21, 2018 with massive drop of 20%. I was literally in awe of Cuban's instinct but then the market almost immediately recovered like nobody's business. I'm now suspecting that government has developed some extraordinary tools to keep market stable. Many conventional laws of economics are pretty much defunct at this point. Massive QEs, printing money and racking up debt has done nothing to cause inflation or any adverse effect. Even Iran situation, North Korea stuff, Seria bombing - all of that barely even registered on market. There is something very very strange going on.

It is largely agreed that Israel won the Arab-Israeli war because their NCO's on the ground were given much more leeway to make tactical decisions of their own. This was in start contrast to the top-heavy and often bureaucratic tactical decision making of the Arab League.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, if you are an army leader, and you know that your soldiers in general have an IQ score of around 82; would you let them make their own decisions on the ground? How about if your soldiers were known for having almost 115?

Yeah, sure, how you decide to make your next password may of course be down to culture, and the decision to have a password manager is perhaps too. However at some point a password manager should be a requirement for even signing up to your service, much less becoming an employee, especially if you already know about the prevalent culture.

> What scares me the most is "justice by social media".

I think a big part of the problem is that somewhere along the line "real world" entities started to capitulate to the demands of social media mobs.

Like there was that case of the young woman who made a joke in poor taste to her dozen twitter followers on a trip to Africa, and somehow it blew up into a front-page story on traditional media and I believe she was fired from her job.

Her employer, and indeed all of us, could choose not to react to this kind of outrage storm, and then it would have no consequences besides perhaps some passing embarrassment until the internet chooses to move on to something else. Social media only has power because we give it power.
Comparing a young language like rust to much older popular languages is not a useful comparison.

I'd say given Rust's age it's popular, and since it is the first contender for a lot of spaces where no other languages have made a serious bid in a while (embedded and real-time systems with higher safety guarantees haven't seen much love since ADA).

It will probably not supplant easy super popular languages like python. But I believe it might find it's niche. A lot of other languages don't have such a USP.

> you still have a paper trail audit, why not just use paper to begin with?

Basically because of ballot stuffing, booth capturing, ballot tampering, fake ballots etc etc. Paper ballots have been a major vurnerebility from experience of several decades in rough and tumble politics. The article on EVMs I linked has descriptions of it. The EVMs rate limit voting to prevent this from being a major motivation for political parties. The approach that seems to be tried and tested and working well seems to be to use dumb unconnected and robust electronic voting machines which can't be hacked without physical possession and the using massive security to prevent physical possession to attackers.

Firstly, if you’re going to post a link it’d be helpful if you elaborate why you believe the content of the link supports or refutes your claim.

Secondly, the link you provided states “in the event of a catastrophe that stops the supply of food”.

From a legal standpoint that's problematic since the government would be imposing a punishment on acts committed outside its jurisdiction--possibly ex post facto as well.
They will go into a yuge database and you can lay pretty good odds on what will happen next.
Here's one way to do it that requires basically zero trust in the software:

1) When voters enter the booth, they throw a large number of multi-sided dice.

2) The resultant throw is scanned via computer-vision. Voter verifies it is correct, and it becomes the voter's ID. Voter votes normally and the vote is recorded alongside that generated "ID".

3) The voter receives a print-out that contains their (ID, vote), however it is randomly shuffled in among other real (ID, vote) pairs. The print-out is guaranteed to have at least one vote for each candidate.

4) The entire list of (ID, vote) pairs can be published nationally. Everyone can verify that the right number of votes were counted, and that their vote was accurately counted since they can find both their ID and vote in the national list.

They can show their receipt to others but cannot prove which one of the many IDs on the receipt was actually theirs.
Consuming will not make you happy. No matter what way you slice it.

Thats the point of the article. You need to draw happiness from within. Thinking the grass is greener on the other side is much easier then dealing with that reality.

Yes, the people who go from "rags" to "riches" have the opportunity to relfect on this without the baggage that comes with being fiscally poor. I live that everyday. My parents migrated to Australia to look for wealth. Their generation worked every second of every day to provide that wealth to their children. Now they all have large bank accounts, but are much worse off health wise, both physically and mentally - diabetes, heart disease, stress - and its is killing them. Killing them before they have realised that working every second of every day, hoarding money, buying large properties, buying fancy cars, is not creating the happiness they yearned for.

My auntie made a million, took a year off, then went back to work. Because thats all she knew. Her husband, who ran the buisness, died a few years later. Both would be looked up to, and other parents would point to them as role models "look, you can do it it, all it takes is hard work".

So yes, in Greece, they struggled with food, but they had community and ultimately, the ones who stayed, adapted, maintained their health and their culture. They are still generally fiscally poor, and they still yearn to be a Greek Australian. But their family unit, culture and way of life is much, much richer. They just cant see it.

Speaking reasonably and from an ecologic point of view you're 100% right. But for the current economic system simple sustenance, i.e. not growing, is similar to death. It's much like a shark, if it stops moving it cannot breathe. I think a lot of it is down to being powered by loans which in essence can be paid back only if the total output grows. Imagine a bank that lends you 100K to set up a business. You'll pay back eventually more than you initially got -say 130K- over a period of the next 10 yrs. The extra 30K will only appear in the economy somewhere if the economy grows. At least that's how this game is supposed to be played.

> They only have 5-10 days vacation a year on average.

Your figures are off by a large margin (70% to 240%). The average American worker took 17 days of vacation time in 2017.

For paid vacation time - the more important item - it depends heavily on experience and company size.

"In 2017, the average worker with five years of experience at a company was given 15 days of paid vacation and the average worker with 20 years of experience was given 20 paid vacation days."

"According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 76 percent of private industry workers ... After one year of employment, these workers were granted 10 days of paid vacation, on average."

This is an incredibly blinkered viewpoint. Sure if you're insulated from the effects of economic downturns (you have a secure job or no dependents, and you have a lot of savings and a diverse investment portfolio, and you're healthy and/or have no need to worry about losing health insurance benefits) then sure, you can relax and tell yourself that everything will work out alright in the end.

However the reality is that recessions mean a lot of suffering and uncertainty for a sizeable chunk of the population. Pretending this isn't the case is extremely bizarre.
That sounds like "trickle down economy". I.E. the idea that when the top capital experiences growth it manifests in growth for working and poor people.

While it does to some degree, it's rather debunked as I understand it.

At the current rate 9$/hr on average for Africa would mean a massive increase in standard of living, so you could achieve the same goal you imply by better distribution of wealth without growth (though that has it's own problems).

What I'm trying to say is that continuous growth isn't necessary to improve standard of living.

Besides history has shown us that growth isn't continuous, rather it's cyclic with a general upward trend.

I think you got it completely the wrong way.

You can get a lot more bored if you're used to be entertained the whole time.

I can only tell from my own personal experience, that reducing entertainment also influences my consciousness, that I'm feeling less easily bored and I'm better able to just enjoy and see the beauty of my surroundings.
Despite my other reply in this sub-thread, no, I don't think recycling is the real problem. Access, price and availability of cheaper alternatives have all pushed cinema into decline.
