Yep. My father was a landscaper, and I built a number of railroad tie retaining walls, so I get the load problems. It shouldn't be a problem, as the area already has a good gap.
Thanks for considering! I think I wrote the nitpick poorly, it's still early for me. I meant that you're currently linking to https://content-security-policy.com/ as the "official site" but it's not really, just a useful reference (but great to link to and in any case it does link to the official CSP2 recommendation eventually so you're fine). The most "official site" though at the moment is the combination of https://www.w3.org/TR/CSP2/ and the newer https://www.w3.org/TR/CSP3/ that's already implemented by Chrome.

I've reminded myself that v3 still hasn't fully stabilized into an official recommendation despite being in final-draft since October (it's basically closed for new things) so for now awareness of 2 and 3 is probably going to continue to be important for anyone responsible for producing a moderately complex string (guess who that is on my teams ;)). Though even at just level 2 there are a few things I could say about differences in behavior just between Chrome and Firefox... Testing is crucial!
Same here. I get my happy vibes at work when I make a thing.

Even if it's a small factor, an open office doesn't actually help with collaboration, so it's all downside and no upside.
Noise and distractions. You must be one of those lucky people who can think without the narrative of others talking over their internal narrative. I can't program if I can hear people talking, or any other kind of intrusive noise.
Second author here. Many people carry over 'real world' privacy expectations to online interactions, often unwittingly. While this may be technically naive, I don't think it is wrong for people to assume established social norms around sex and privacy, which have existed for millennia, are suddenly null and void b/c they go online. Porn stores in real life often have curtains, dark windows, etc. to protect privacy, and some people likely have that mental model ingrained, even if they do have a suspicion they are being tracked.
I think the problem is largely that "10x programmer" is ambiguous between "10x more valuable" and "consistently produces code 10x faster". I think people accept the idea because of the first meaning, but efforts to hire 10x engineers frequently look for the second.

There are certainly lots of programmers who produce 10x more value than others, and some who produce 10x more than average. They create good project plans that don't need reworking midstream, build tooling pipelines that save work for their whole team, catch obscure-but-expensive bugs in advance, and make sound design/infrastructure choices which save huge amounts of renovation down the line. And yeah, for sufficiently-hard problems they sometimes come up with clever technical solutions other people wouldn't.

I suspect there are engineers who can frequently output quality code 10x faster than most of us would, but that's reserved for incredibly specific tasks. Most code-writing genuinely can't (or shouldn't) be accelerated like that, so it's limited to arcane problems like rendering or codec work where brilliant optimization can trump general diligence. John Carmack might be an example, or Dennis Richie, or Gary Tarolli (who apparently first authored Fast InvSqrt). The Microsoft gurus who hand-edited the EQNEDT32 binary for a bug-fix, too. But there are maybe a few thousand programmers in the world doing that sort of work, in a very specific set of fields.

Meanwhile there are a lot of companies trying to hire "10x engineers", often for "make our website and backend" tasks that can't possibly be solved with a brilliant coding trick. And a lot of those companies aren't looking for someone who will do the architecture and task-analysis and tool-building that makes 10x-value engineering possible, they're looking for someone who will solve simple problems inhumanly fast. In practice, that mostly means cutting corners, hard-coding values, and skipping on documentation.
This is sadly not true, and I think your final sentence is a clue about that.

One problem faced by California is the importation (from other states) of HENRYs (high-earning-not-rich-yet) who neither understand the fresh-and-local CaliFrench or CalItalian aesthetic, or any other cuisine either. It’s led to a lot of restaurants springing up that pretend to offer the same kind of fresh experience, but are really just terrible. The Grove in the Bay Area is an example of such a restaurant.

Ultimately, it is educated consumers that lead to great food — without the demand side of the equation, the supply side whithers. Tokyo surprises not only by offering excellent traditional Japanese items like sushi, onigiri and hashed beef, but also by having pancakes, pizzas and little selections of bratwursts that are world class. This is not because of a diverse population — there are no Italians behind the counter making the pizzas — but because of a very picky and educated consumer base that demands wholesome and authentic food.

California’s consumer base isn’t really growing in the right ways, and the downstream effects of that are food that ultimately worse, even as the packaging of “California” gets better.
The idea of 9x extra hidden value lurking in the system is a nice concept but unlikely to be present. It's unlikely to be present on the advertiser side because if advertisers were actually reaping 10x the value of their digital ad costs, ad prices would rise significantly because advertisers would be willing to pay significantly more than they do today. The excess positive value is unlikely to be present on the consumer side because as already commented the consumer is reaping a huge net negative hidden value as a result of the ubiquitous tracking it drives.
I guess they should care in the sense that poor ad performance will cause marketers to question the effectiveness of ad buying with WP?
I don't think it's particularly helpful to compare the present day to the late 19th century. The fact that things used to be worse does not excuse the fact that things also used to be better; living standards for the average American have regressed in many ways since the 1970s, which should be a cause of urgent concern.
It looks like it's more about breaking into the C++ domain than the C# domain.
humans feel already threatened by their own. putting them into 'minority' groups etc.... they would be threatened by another intelligent / linguistically advanced species and dominate / destroy them. perhaps they would serve as slaves... otherwis they would not survive.

Jurisdiction might prove a challenge here (state/federal courts?) but we already deal with this kind of things on oceans so I'm sure we'll muddle through like we usually do.
Interesting. Anecdotally, this checks out. All of my middle/lower-middle class friends from high school have long been married and raising families, almost in all cases raising them with their extended families. Most of my professional tech friends are barely getting started in their late 30s, and everyone who's started had basically put their career into a slower gear first.

I made a similar choice a couple of years ago to downgrade my career into a slower-paced, less stressful scenario with less money, and again personally for me the results have spoken for themselves.

Unless I'm Elon Musk, the whole business of business isn't really designed in my favor, so it's logical for me to partake but only just so.
Like I say, _in this case_ the car's AI was not at fault.

I don't know how good or bad is Uber's car AI. If by "crap" you mean that image recognition in general is brittle when exposed to real world conditions, as opposed to the controlled experimental conditions in published results, then I agree.
That just sounds like an upper middle class way of brushing off a problem that can affect everyone. You can be alienated and isolated no matter if you live with your mom, in your home town, in your home state.
I'm not an iOS developer but if it does exist not many apps use it. Snapchat, MS Teams, Discord, and a few others don't do it by default at least.
> you just can't figure out how everywhere else went so wrong

My thoughts exactly. After having lived there for a short while, it's just mind blowing how well this works, and yet nobody else seems to be doing it (with some exceptions like Denmark or certain German cities etc.).
Many antiquities like mummies were (are?) commonly smuggled. The connection seems an easy one. But I enjoy your hypothesis.

I met my husband less than a decade ago in a bar. I still talk to strangers in bars now too. Its not any more creepy to socialize with strangers in bars now than it was in the past, as long as you respect boundaries and aren't a creep about it.

Hmm, that's not enough evidence to connect him -- he could be withdrawing Bitcoin to cash for something entirely unrelated. Him cashing in Bitcoin is circumstantial.

"I bought some bitcoin for cash a decade ago" explains cashing Bitcoin, so what have you got left as evidence.
Okay, so this is speculation, basically. I thought that may be what the parent was saying, but wasn't sure.
I have seen plenty of collapsed dry stone walls.

Often the reason for the collapse isn't obvious - I suspect rather than a catastrophic event, it's more that the stones right on the top of the wall aren't held in by interlocking and friction as well as the other stones, so storms and animals can dislodge them. Plants growing in the top of the wall can knock stones off too.

If plant matter gets inside the wall, pools of water can form between stones, which then freezes and pushes stones apart and cracks them.

Do that for 2000 years, and the walls turn into a scattered line of stones in the ground 30 feet wide.

Yes, leaks are possible in all languages.

In Rust you can leak due to reference cycles for example: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-06-reference-cycles.html

C# will clean up reference cycles, but an unintended reference can cause leaks (if you forget to remove it).

In both languages such leaks are not good, but at least they aren't memory safety issues.
I'll definitely agree with that. Broadly, I like the direction Microsoft has been headed in, I guess I'm just disappointed that there has been no more information (even them saying they've shelved the idea) after the huge outpouring of support.
Woman takes 10 years to create and complete film “Kathryn Upside Down.”
All I could think of was Les Nessman from the old television show WKRP in Cincinnati:

"Les believes that as the news director, he should have his own private office, so he puts masking tape on the floor around his desk indicating where his office walls would be. He insists that anyone who approaches his desk must knock at an imaginary door and wait for permission to come in. He mimes opening and closing a door whenever he sits down at or leaves his desk; once he even took out a set of keys to lock the nonexistent door."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Nessman
That’s one legal concept, and one that’s consistent with common law: law is made through court rulings and decisions.

But it’s not the only legal concept, nor the most dominant or best, and in civil law systems, it’s required that all law be available and readable for free for the public, which means law has to be written into laws, and can’t be defined through court rulings.
If you get exclusive datacenter IPs it's much less likely to be rejected and it's not significantly more expensive.
but similarily as OP mentioned, the screen encompasses all classes. Even the lower classes around the world, while taking advantage of this connectivity to the rest of the world, will experience similar symptoms perhaps. I'm thinking of cab, rikshaw drivers in India who now all have phones which is great in improving their lives but may result in disconnectedness from their communities families maybe not as much as first world countries.
> Could you imagine how bad it would be if Congress got excited about the potential for internet crime in 1985, tried to guess the form of the problems that would arise, and then wrote laws banning and permitting things that they thought would lead to trouble?

That's not the case with git. By default it preserves the original commit time.
I don't think that is true with iframes, which is what plaid uses to allow users to enter their banking information. So plaid still can get all your keypresses but an app that uses plaid does not.

To be clear you have to trust plaid, and you have verify that the web app is actually using an iframe and not just faking the plaid interface. But you are not just trusting a random web app with your banking credentials.
Why is it unreasonable to think that people act on the information they receive? That is after all how normal politics works. If people talk about how bad the potholes are in the roads, someone will demand that something is done about the potholes. If people talk about how Jews eat the blood of children, someone will demand that something is done about the Jews.

It's not sensible to say "lack of information about X is the only thing stopping Y from happening" because that can be true of an infinite number of falsehoods. Lack of information about the riches of Atlantis is a major factor in people not setting off into the sea. And so on.

But let's say they were very smart and did not get all those bugs. Even then, why would someone claim the compiler double-checking is not useful?

I have a pretty good grasp of Javascript and can pretty much always predict what type something is going to be. Of course I make mistakes, but even if I didn't: using TypeScript is still great, because I don't have to manually keep track of all those types.

Is the author's purported "wording" in the article from extensive coding experience in rust and c#, or any other language?

Or, did someone prod a journalist with little familiarity in programming theory, to write positive "spin" on Rust being explored by Microsoft? Is it even news for the world's largest software company (by market cap), to explore the use of emerging languages?
I miss the social aspects of living in Italy. It just felt easier to connect with people there. People are kind of weird and standoffish here in the US, and in some cases feel a bit fake. If you ask if someone wants to grab a beer (or spritz/wine/whatever) in Italy, and they respond enthusiastically, it seems there's a good chance they'll try and make it happen.
And you should also start looking for a new job. It means you're 100% utilized, you have no free-time, no real opportunity for growth, and no chance to improve the situation. You have one job (or one set of jobs). You take a single day off, a week, you come back to a fire. You spend a day or a week fixing that fire and you're back in the same grind. It may be fun, but you can't be promoted without killing that business line. You can't work on new projects/products without killing something.

If you have decent management, they'll set up firewalls between you and the people requesting work. Trainees or people of some experience but perhaps not as quick under pressure. Reduce the burden, start automating what can be automated. But if that's absent, if the pressure remains. Enjoy the glory, but look for an exit. You're one vacation away from returning to a layoff.
A lot of people take whatever jobs they can get, and their pay barely covers their housing/food/childcare/medical expenses.

Very extreme stance! Especially for so deep in thread. Sometimes it’s nice to make your ideas more specific as you go deeper in conversation, not just radicalize and double down.

Yeah, the vibe is the entire reason why they're popular.

It's like the "I f*cking love science" image of science: science looks cool and fun if you're an astronomer posing next to a telescope, as opposed to grad student tediously running spectroscopy against thousands of images.

And developers look way cooler when they're models smiling and pointing at a computer screen than when they're heads down writing actual code.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Your point may be valid that Snapchat deserves the same or even more criticism, but then perhaps the fact that they don't is the real problem.
Snapchat already had their "end of the world" moment when they were brand new around underage sexting.

I hang out a every once in a while in the Rust discord (official and comminity) and theres always a bunch of questions, probably close to the amount of what SO shows. I haven't dipped into it myself but from what I hear the Rust book (available for free on their site) and documentation are really good. So maybe that in combination with other tutorials is a reason why SO isnt so active. It's a similar deal with Elixir, elixir SO isnt too active because almost everything is asked on the Elixir forums, so if you go with SO as your sole popularity meter you're not always going to come away with accurate conclusions.
did not look at the code yet, but the algo for subdiving might be a nightmare.

square and triangle are weird for distance, maybe. but they can all hold precise subdivisions of the shape inside each other. hexagon "bleed", so why exactly they boast so many times in the article that h3 is so great for nesting different details levels? even their diagrams show very bad bleeding (worse than it should be if optimized) and they never mention it on this summary.
So you're going to try to silence, or censor, a company into not choosing a more relevant algorithm? Their original algo changed and it "censored" more relevant content. I had a few videos on youtube giving my own personal experience of 9/11 but they quickly got overshadowed once the algo changed to prefer dramatic conspiracy content over regular content, even if it is more relevant. I don't like being "censored" either and I'd rather youtube change the algo.
Microsoft uses a lot of different techs. Isn’t a lot of their cross platform and web code for office 365 build with React?

That doesn’t mean they aren’t moving forward with .Net or C#, but the main thing they want to sell to developers in 2019 is Azure where it used to be enterprise licenses for VS and windows server. And they don’t need C# for that.

Also, they seem to be wanting Rust as a replacement for C and C++, so it’s probably mostly unrelated to C#.

Second author here. The paper is written for a social-science audience (I'm the CS person, hence ACM template), so it is written that way to help get non-experts on board. Otherwise, there is ample research people don't understand how private browsing works, and there are plenty of ways to track people during privacy sessions. There are some very creative people working in adtech today and I don't doubt there are numerous methods that are being used to get around every single protection out there.

I'd vastly prefer that creative energy be directed to socially beneficial ends, but I have respect for the technical chops of people in adtech. However, it is fundamentally depressing that so many smart people spend their lives shattering the bounds of decency to get an ad impression for some useless item that will go into a landfill in 18 months. Aside from privacy the biggest tragedy here is the waste of brainpower spent promoting mindless consumerism in a world rapidly moving towards climate catastrophe.
That's true of anyone who believes something with the utmost conviction - but we're talking about the general population here, not just those already into flat earth.
