> Every feature under the sun.

Have you gotten this impression from actually using Rust, or merely from people who themselves have not used Rust? It deliberately omits a ton of ideas from other programming languages (exceptions, classes, data inheritance, monads, and more), and the features it does have are intended to compose well and without a huge amount of mental burden.
Pinged them manually via email, as their forums don't have a functional log in yet (being working on apparently).

Discussion around improving the manufacturability seem welcome: :)

We'd definitely love to have some DFM help! You're right that we weren't really
thinking too much about that when we designed it; mostly, we wanted it to be as
lightweight and high performance as possible. But it'd be great to have you or others
help on the DFM side of things, especially if you're more familiar with how exactly
machining costs are calculated, and what steps / features can be modified for
the greatest improvement in cost.

Are there other Linux distributions left that still support i386?
Humans are generally prone to this, alas.

A great essay on the topic: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...
It's easy and satisfying to play the victim, but to equate people experiencing criticism for hatred of gays to the rounding up of all members of a religion into reeducation camps seems pretty extremely disconnected.
It sounds like party members are projecting their own insecurities.
So... I’ve not had time to read the whole paper, but my initial impression is that this is not really worth consider as a “cryptocurrency” - instead, it’s a limited application of “blockchain” to what amounts to a multi-party private currency.

That in and of itself isn’t a terrible thing necessarily, but I guess I’m failing to see the utility it provides.

OTOH, Facebook is big enough to push this into much larger adoption than existing cryptocurrencies have managed. If they do that, and if Libra is eventually opened enough that it can be traded on the open market without a “trusted” intermediary, then we might at least see the infrastructure, public acceptance, and public understanding of what cryptocurrencies are significantly improve. That could lead to a stronger ecosystem in general.

Personally, I’m trying to figure out if I can have an “account” that is truly anonymous. If so, then I’ll pay attention and study it more. If not... well, then I’ll ignore this unless and until that is possible.
> Not that documentation is bad but it is rarely correct. Now you have to spend time trying to match documentation that doesn't match the code you see.

It depends on what you mean by documentation. If you mean articles on Confluence or whatever, yeah, that's hopeless. If you mean comments in the code, I couldn't disagree more.

I don't buy the common argument that comments easily become inconsistent with the code. I can't imagine changing a line of code and completely ignoring the comment above it, and I'd definitely require a fix if I saw someone else do that in a code review. That's just a ridiculous level of sloppiness.

> There is no need to document what a function does, that is self evident from stepping through it.

I'm afraid I disagree here too, though again conditionally depending on what you mean. Straightforward logic shouldn't be littered with superfluous comments. But on the other extreme, the fast invsqrt algorithm needs more of a comment than the canonical "what the fuck?"

Yes, given weeks of head scratching any arbitrarily-dense block of code will release its secrets, but that's not good engineering. Anyone can build a bridge by dumping a hundred billion dollars of concrete into the bay until it's dry; good engineering is doing it cost-effectively. A well-placed comment in some non-obvious logic can save time for a developer (likely you) every time they interact with it.
Man, when my company got shut down in the dot com days, after the 10am all hands, I said screw it and took my entire team out for drinks until about 4, out of my own pocket.

As far as I'm concerned, that's the way you do it if you're going down with the ship. Drink with the crew, pay for them, and tell stories and try to make plans as you slip into the waters. 19 years later, I'm still friends with all but one who disappeared to the offline somehow.

Ended up giving my director a slightly embarrassing hug when we got back in, but we'd been through enough over the past that she forgave me and we're still friends.

What we can infer from the gradual evolution of various species on Earth is that brains do seem to evolve larger, more complex, more efficient - though are often bottlenecked by other costs.

If you look at a snapshot of all life on Earth over tens of millions of years, the average brain size of dominant species has clearly increased.
Why would people move to Detroit for lower salaries to live in Google provided housing? They would just find other jobs in the bay.
No problem! If it's not too much trouble and you can share your data (and queries), I'm always happy to see more details about use cases that take advantage of ripgrep's Unicode support and its associated performance characteristics. At some point, I'm going to have to redo my previously published benchmarks, and it would be great to get some real use cases like yours in there. :-)
The existence of central banking criticism doesn't justify throwing out the financial manual on what makes a good payment system.

The number of conversations I've had with bitcoin evangelists where they argue about the lack of refunds, chargebacks, or dispute handling being a feature, not a bug, is not solving problems with central banking.
Upvote this! Just because other regimes had done something bad, it does not remove the fact that this is also bad. 2 wrongs don't make it a right.
> people do not need to profit from housing to build it

Yes, I'm sure that you volunteer your services to build new housing all the time.
> Why is this a good move in the trade war then? What am I missing?

Because then America is poorer in the world and is not the biggest customer any more. Thus it cannot bully the rest of the world.

Yes, it can house more people, but you can also demand a lot more for the same area in smaller units, so rent per square metre goes up.
You bring up a good point. Why is this happening? Because there's value in having a bunch of people of the same profession being grouped to together in a location. It's easier to share ideas, collaborate, and get things done. It was already evident from all the innovations that came when Venetian glass blowers were all forced to live & work in the same little location. Silicon Valley is no different. Maybe this will change in the near future once VR and AR and our internet speeds get much better.
So far in my quick bit of research since this story came up I have not found a law that would prevent it. There are laws about discrimination based on race, religion, Etc. but not about employee / non-employee. I have yet to find either a California law or Sunnyvale city ordinance that would disallow an owner from preferentially selling or leasing a house to someone who was employed by a specific entity, even if that entity was themselves.
Crime exists. I advocate that everyone apply whatever measures that fit within their means to ameliorate it, or avoid it altogether.

It applies on the small scale as easily as the grand. If you insult someone's mother, watch for and avoid the retaliatory punch. If you violate the privacy of a billion people, call them morons for trusting you, profit greatly from their personal information, and continue to demonstrate eroding ethics, then install a safe room in your house(s) and hire some bodyguards.

That said, individual violence is reasonable, after the non-violent and collectively-violent possibilities have been exhausted. There always has to be some way to effectively retaliate against anti-social behavior.
...yet. Hence why I said "I could see a scenario in the not too distant future..."
People at the border facilities are encouraged to leave back to their home country and to use the US Immigration system properly.

> I think companies are also free to tell people they aren't welcome if they're going to use that extension.

Or a particular browser. Or a specific operating system. Or the wrong brand of device.

You can probably see where I'm going with that, but in case it's not perfectly clear, I'm trying to say that a company might want to dictate a lot more than just what extension you're using in a browser. Not everyone is going to agree that they are right to do that.

Bear in mind that there's more to consider here than the legality of what they're doing. The openness of the Internet, the interoperability of different operating systems and devices over a particular somewhat-standardized protocol -- these aspects aren't regulated by a law, but they're still important. I'm one of those people who remember the Browser Wars and I don't remember them fondly.

Of course, it's not just about technical aspects, either. There's the whole grey area of whether it's okay for LinkedIn to metaphorically rifle through our proverbial pockets, looking for stuff they don't like and don't want to admit on their virtual premises.

So no, I wouldn't agree that things are as clear cut as you present them.
It's just a hedge, bro!
Visa is not obligated to integrate Libra anywhere. They just put a foot in the opening just in case it will take off. If it doesn't they lose nothing ($10M), if it takes off they are having saying in where it goes.
Houston also famously has no zoning laws, which massively exacerbates problems associated with sprawl.

You can easily generalize the sentiment. Most countries are distracted by useless debates while the environment is ignored.
As a person living in austria, I strongly believe that goverment build housing and strong regulation of pricing and the market is the only way to keep housing affordable for all people and not make it a speculation object like in germany/berlin.

Did you know that in the late 90 the housing was good and affordable?

And that a big chunk was owned by the city or state?

That these things were then sold for pennies, to companies who only want to exploit people?

Did you know that after there were laws passed against raising the rent exorbitant, many companies cheated?

They raised the cost that you have to pay for the house services which are included, without doing that services or charging way to high

A bigot is raised into bigotry, though. Sometime's it's as much choice as one's religion: not that much.

I despite bigotry. It is irrational, hateful, stupid. At the same time, I think it's important to recognize the aspects of it that are a part of all of our psychologies, namely our cognitive biases. That might help us better develop strategies for defeating bigotry.
I got a shocking example of this recently. I was towing a trailer behind my vehicle for a 14' boat (the trailer was quite a bit longer than that). I was really surprised that I could not see it AT ALL in my rear view mirror when the boat was not on it. Meaning there is at least 16' behind my vehicle where I cannot see something about 2' tall or shorter.
Seriously, all these language mechanisms like RAII make it a lot harder to write modular code. Look at the mess that C++ got itself in, with its constructors, default constructors, move constructors, rvalue references, exceptions (required as a consequence of constructors), and what not. It's hard to believe Rust could make it significantly less painful.

Programming is mostly not about initialization and deinitialization. If it is, you're doing it wrong, you have too many small objects.

Yes, stack allocated STL containers can be nice for quick "scripting". But I will happily write a few function local deinitialisations to enjoy much less convoluted and interdependent, slowly compiling code.
It's true, but where/how it survived in Europe seems like it's a regionally or even city localized bottle re-use cycle which might shift the balance of costs and re-use.
Kudos to him.
It was, there are probably some videos of us double, or triple barreling them and blowing clouds everywhere. My throat still hurts thinking about that day.
Well, if that’s the issue, as a non German who doesn’t understand the situation or surrounding political environment very well, wouldn’t a much better solution then be to crack down on illegal hotel businesses?

Seems like this law is only going to make things worse: the rent freeze will make renting even less appealing to owners, only increasing their desire to run their property as a hotel. No?
A lot of people misunderstand what concentration camps are because they get confused by the Nazi death camps.

Wikipedia has a list of concentration camps, including the ones currently run under the Trump administration:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concentration_and_in...

All of them are bad. Some are worse than others, with Nazi camps being a well-known and egregious example.
The difference housing cost as a percentage of the small tech city salary is an irrelevant statistic.

The relevant statistic to compare is actual housing cost vs actual compensation in both types of places. For many types of tech jobs, the number still favors big cities, if not in percentage terms, then in absolute numbers.

And when it comes down to a real life decision, there are plenty of other factors (financial or otherwise) besides that one statistic.
Gold has been the longest most stable 'currency' historically. Governments with some of the largest economies hold large supplies of gold (and they're not trading it for BTC). It's value has been on par with inflation since we've started keeping track of its value. This creates confidence among buyers.

People agree it has value because the most powerful players in the global economy agree that it has value. There is also a limited amount of it.
It already ships with its own libraries, so it may not even be affected. If it is, then a new snap is going to be created for it. Right now you can also use flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.Steam
I would say that yes, it does matter how the compiler is faster. Turbo Pascal, for instance, has a fast compiler (still faster than Go's last time I checked) and it is fast because it was hand-optimized in assembly to be so. That's impressive; especially so back in the days of the 286.

Golang's compiler is fast because they don't check everything they could, the language itself was intentionally dumbed down, and because it doesn't bother dealing with dependencies as tightly (or as well) as other languages. I'd say it is important to know that.
Or both. Some cheap LEDs have terrible high-pitched humming noises from bad AC to DC converters/transformers.

(A big reason that there's a growing movement questioning if we should have more dedicated DC wires/plugs/sockets in our homes and do AC to DC conversion once for entire circuits instead at the socket/in the plug "wall wart" for every single device. Also interesting that USB A sockets are probably the closest we have to a ubiquitous home standard actually moving in that direction.)
This is awesome. I hope they follow through on actually making this affordable and not only for Google employees (which I agree, would likely be illegal).

Pols in the bay area suck. All of them. They are against affordable housing and against families. But, they love money more than they hate families. So way this approach will help and pave the way for the other major companies to do the same.
Valve will continue to distribute their own libraries because this kind of thing is why Linux is a nightmare.
HotStuff: BFT Consensus in the Lens of Blockchain
Same. Many many years ago I straight-up deleted my LinkedIn account (in an attempt to cut down on recruiter cold-calls, which didn't work) and I've never suffered as a result.
Of course it won't help the narrative when the Lakes right now are near record highs due to lower levels of evaporation and more rain in the autumn months of the past few years (according to Army Corps of Engineers' data that started records in 1918, anyway). These fluctuations aren't uncommon. Last time they were this high was the mid-80s.

But you're right about the political ramifications of where the Great Lakes Compact line gets drawn. Waukesha, WI is one place that comes to mind where their own water supply became inadequate (mostly due to radium levels) and they requested to have access to Lake Michigan's water. My understanding is within a few years, they'll have the infrastructure in place and be able to legally draw from it.

It doesn't take a deep imagination to think of what a few dozen new such situations will do to Michigan let alone the other Lakes.
beautiful example of testing a market combined with a little pickup artist style negging. Bravo

> "Don't use Booleans as parameters"

... except I think it's perfectly fine in languages that support named parameters. In fact this isn't even specific to booleans. Say we're using Python,

draw_rect(width = 5, height = 10, top = 5, left = 6)

is much more readable than

draw_rect(5, 10, 5, 6)
It's data you made public by publishing it to LinkedIn, where default privacy settings is "anyone who can log into linkedin can view this content."

It gets complicated when you start thinking of things like blocking other accounts from viewing your profile, or adjusting visibility settings. Arguably LinkedIn has a duty to protect the integrity of their privacy controls, which would entail implementing anti-scraping measures.

> Q. Doesn’t Steam use 32 bit libraries? How can I play my games?

> Q. How can I run 32-bit Windows applications if 32-bit WINE isn’t available in the archive?

It means they are dropping 32-bit packages for good, not just the distro.

I'm using GOG, not Steam. They don't commonly rely on bundled runtime. Proposed solutions with lxc and such are quite annoying. And it's not about 32-bit Wine, it's about WoW64 Wine requiring 32-bit libraries to run 32-bit stuff. Lot's of older games are 32-bit and will never be converted to 64-bit.

If there is no 32-bit multiarch, how are we supposed to build 32-bit Mesa and dxvk / d9vk for example? And if we can't, everything will be stuck with outdated versions. It's a huge mess they are pushing for. I hope Debain won't do this horror if they can avoid it.
Then I would have to commute out to spend time with my family, who live nowhere near my work, or any workplace of my industry.
Bet they could get a great deal on lightly used 737-MAX planes available from these sellers. (insert Amazon Marketplace link :-))
I'm generally against zoning restrictions. But, there's only so much a city's infrastructure can take. Let's say they build another 100k 3 bedroom units, where is all the waste going to go?

Is there a good reason for all of these people to live in one little area? No, I don't think there's a really good reason. Everyone wants to take advantage of what the city has to offer, but nobody actually wants to pay fair market value.
I agree Huxley was a bit closer (at least with regards to the West), depicting a "soft tyranny" rather than the "harsh tyranny" of 1984.
Its a big country with lots of space. Remote work and virtual offices work. Companies should spread out some.
> it's the argument from NIMBY's that keeps getting pushed aside

It gets pushed aside because it's a bad argument, and it's often asked in bad faith.

"Hubs" for various industries pop up all the time. Hollywood for movies, NYC for finance, etc. There are very real advantages to the strong ecosystems created by gathering so many specialists in a single area, both for companies AND for workers; working for Google making a Google salary in a small office in Topeka instead of SF sounds great until you think about whatever happens if you lose your job somehow, and suddenly you have no local options for jobs of that tier.

Plus, most of the NIMBYs are trying to avoid density to preserve suburban sprawl-type neighborhoods, which themselves are anti-environment and classist. Pushing people out to metros where they'll contribute to yet more sprawl is A Bad Thing.
Plausible, but unlikely

1) This occurred in exactly the same set of minutes since the email direct from the airline arrived and Google parsed it and posted the flight info to my calendar

2) The hotel locations and dates for the fake reservation were exactly matched to the airline travel dates.

It is also possible to win the lottery, but to post such an exactly targeted advertisement is for all practical purposes impossible without access to the email. Only three parties had access to it: The airline, me, and Google.
> If anything we need some simple core digital privacy rights ala the constitution or charters of rights.

Exactly. That's the core of it. We certain do have a lot of laws that apply online already. Harassment, for example, applies just as much online as in person. Medical records are still protected, regardless of how they're stored.

What we lack is much of anything relating to scale. Some behaviors are just a completely different beast at scale. The first thing that comes to mind is election interference. I don't think highly-targeted ads/content should be permitted in politics. Selling personal data without permission should also be illegal. Right now it's ad companies selling ad campaigns which isn't a big deal. But how long before it's so easy to run facial recognition, etc that you'll be able to buy bits of location history, etc on people, license plates, etc for a few dollars?
Who could? They are all grounded. Once relevant authorities consider them safe I’d fly them again (and they won’t fly until then). So my answer is, I would as soon as I can.

As for choosing: Almost every single time I fly there is zero choice of plane if you fix the departure and arrival city, date, and approximate time. In the cases where there are multiple airlines it’s not uncommon to see late plane changes.

Especially between 737-800 and MAX8 because they are commonly operated by the same carriers and the swap is simple from a seating perspective.
And to top it all off, those competitors would have the pick of your (former) employees who didn't want to move.
