Where did you work if I may ask? In the companies where I worked there was never such a thing. I worked in 2 companies in Hungary, 2 companies in Germany, 3 companies in Japan and one in the US.

It was always basically assumed that you will study all the necessary things on your own time and when you sit in the office then you make productive things, a.k.a. as you deliver. You always had to code and show some progress of a specific development task each week. There was never such thing as time to research/study.

Yeah, I don't live in the UK, but I don't think I've purchased ice cream with plastic in years.

The hardest part for me would be milk. I buy milk by the gallon (usually a gallon per week), and my kids love to drink it. I make yogurt and occasionally make cheese, so we would probably not suffer too much if we can get milk relatively cheaply. Milk does come in cardboard containers, but I'm pretty sure they're lined with plastic, not wax, and I honestly don't know where to get milk in glass containers.

Meat would also be hard since it always comes shrink wrapped in plastic and I don't know how to get it otherwise. We have a butcher nearby that would probably work with us, so it's solvable.

Instead of trying to eliminate plastic, maybe I'll try this with eliminating all waste. Food scraps will go to the compost and packaging will need to be recyclable. It would be interesting to see what I can cut out that isn't recyclable.
"XYZ Entertainment" or whatever it appears as sounds pretty traceable. Would be easy to find out what their services are.

I can't speak for the American system, but as I would propose for the UK it would work like council tax, assessed on the value that you own - which is the full value of the property. We kind of gave up on tax subsidies for mortgage borrowers with MIRAS.
Sounds like you’re over reading into what was essentially a two-point comment... there was no snarkiness in that comment at all - just a statement that rust is not really offering much benefit for this circumstance. Yeesh... projection

There are no employee rights in modern capitalism. In the 19th century, they worked 80 hours a week in mines, had child labor, no vacations, women were ignored, indentured servitude existed. All this and more until unions and labor laws.

Karl Marx's entire philosophy was based on the abuses of workers he observed.

Nowadays people mock progressive causes as 'socialism', mock unions and worker protections, demonize progressive politicians, and idolize oligarchs. Even though it's all against their own best interest.

Your idealistic notion of 'rights' doesn't exist and will never happen. You have no rights as long as someone controls your purse strings, which with booming inequality is more and more people nowadays as well.

I can't wait until most jobs are finally automated and we're done with this whole capitalist system entirely and have to figure out what to do next.

Dr. Drew was on Scott Adam's podcast recently talking about this. Apparently even free housing is insufficient because most of the people relevant to this discussion will not accept even free housing. Nor will they accept mental healthcare even when provided for free. The only way to get them into the mental healthcare situations is to compel them by force, and that is not something people are interested in.

Correction: Scott Adams, not Rogan
Mental healthcare may be relevant to this issue. But the cost of housing is not.

These people cannot hold jobs because they are mentally ill. They need state provided institutional care, otherwise they will remain on the streets.
Russian alphabet is pretty close to perfect. Apart from relaxed unaccented vowels and very rare exceptions one of which you mentioned if you see Russian word you have never seen before you can almost be sure you can pronounce it correctly (apart from accents, that you have to remember). There are no things like head/heat/heed.
> There's nothing about being embeddable that's a limitation.

An always-running in-memory server process is going to be a lot better at concurrency than multiple embeddable libraries trying to take locks out on the same file on disk.
Which is why for decades many dB offerings offered raw or cooked storage. Cooked being that they used the file system and raw being using the device directly. I'm not sure of the upsides and downsides today as I last worked in that area about 20 years ago, but was very much a case of raw a noticeable performance gain. But then you are equally tied into the vendors backup mechanisms.
They say it undermines management. But it works well at our workplace: a build error or some strange thing comes up on Slack, and if it's difficult to fix, a ticket gets made and appropriately scheduled. Where's the problem?
> as long as people are able to discuss politics with their friends, they have a outlet to vent without being able to actually form political resistance.

> Another interpretation could be that China cares about, or simply consideres legitimate, the expression of dissent, but is terrified by the consequences of mass protest movements such as that of Tiananmen Square, preferring to maintain a rigid control on the direction and pace of change.

These statements are practically identical the only thing that changes is how charitably you're framing the suppression of political dissent and if you're viewing things from the POV of the political class or the regular people.

Maybe in a Utopia the homeless would use shelters but many refuse to for very reasons.
You can tell truths up an down, have all kinds of sources that provide evidence to your claims, and HN will downvote you if it is self-criticism of US government or capitalistic practices that lead to censorship in similar ways as China. It can't possibly be nearly the same here, said the HN downvoter.
It is a ban of plastic bags from supermarkets. People have some decency, but with ban there is no way to dispose excrements.
> I'm not sure rust is really aiming to be something used for data science workflows

I’m not totally convinced rust knows what it’s aiming to be, other than replacing c++...
by doing that too much you drag down a city to rat's hole, more homeless coming, working people move out, economy slows down, less money left to help those in need, similar to what socialism does: great on paper, horrible in practice. should we not care for those homeless? NO, should we always put them first? NO. it's a balance of arts, going in any direction a little too far will break it.
Reminds me of the Southpark where Cartman is traversing San Francisco in a moon suite.
>Ah, so we're back to imprisoning the homeless (at huge expense) rather than providing, say, public toilets or shelter facilities.

It's weird to frame it as a "rather" when in fact you need both. You need to have public bathrooms and come down hard on shitting on the street.
I specifically said I want to pay more as long as everyone else in my position also pays more. I also don't want hospitals to have to rely on altruism, they should rely on tax.
No, it will not be correct, but of course you will be understood, no problem. I had a friend that pronounced these words with г for ironical purposes.
> I personally have been focused on making positive changes with 15 solid minutes of effort. Because that's all I'm going to have before I'm interrupted. It's annoying and I would much prefer a quieter work environment, but that's clearly not what the org wants.

Doesn't that just feel terrible? I bought noise cancelling headphones because of the open office concept. When that wasn't sufficient, I moved and am now remote. When Slack came in, I used the IRC bridge and setup ignore rules for all the botspam. Now that's gone and I found a web plugin that would do it. Slack changed their code and that no longer works. Every effort seems to be going toward a more disruptive world. 15 minute chunks are no sufficient to do quality work, in my opinion.

We shouldn't spend our days screwing around and our nights on work. If I have to work nights to be productive, I shouldn't have to show up during the day. Even if I didn't have a kid, I'd have a personal life.
I don't know what is a performance plan. Can you elaborate? I have never worked in a company where there was such a plan.

Is this public to employees or you just simply whip everyone until they work themselves to death without telling them the reasoning?

Also I assume you are in the US. In most European countries you can absolutely do nothing about someone who works full time on your team unless they let's say causes you financial losses or punch you in the face, so you can basically shove up your plan to your bottom part in other cases.
I'm not sure how much better you'd get than sqlite if you were using a straight forward rowid select with a prepared statement. Sqlite is pretty damn snappy for something like that and using a prepared statement amortizes the cost of compiling the SQL.

Seems incredible to me that people keep thinking that intelligent people have to share the western liberal view of the world that we all have been indoctrinated under.
Of course, the style of control is different, but the effect is the same. In the West we have an illusion of freedom and choice. We get to say whatever we like, we get to go an vote for any approved candidate, but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is what the oligarchy wants.

The biggest issue is that the media is owned by the oligarchy, and so as you note any opinions that fall outside the accepted norm are ignored. This completely perverts democracy as unbiased media is crucial to having informed public that can vote meaningfully. It's simply not realistic to expect individuals to do their own research and become experts on many different subjects in order to vote because any individual subject can take years of study to grasp properly. The job of the journalists is to do this research for the benefit of the public and then present it in a way that's meaningful to the layman. When the media stops doing its job democracy dies.

Build. More. Homeless. Shelters. California is so damned NIMBY'd up that they refuse to build shelters and act surprised when homeless people sleep outside. Then they throw their hands up in the air like "uh, it must be the weather"

It's stupid. In New York we have more homeless per capita and in absolute numbers but we have nothing like the street issues that west coast cities have. It's because we actually house the damned homeless. And for fuck's sake, it's not the weather. Our parks aren't by any means pristine but we don't suddenly sprout tent cities every summer.

The whole CA homeless crisis is a self-inflicted wound. For reference, an article in SF Gate: "67 percent of Bay Area homeless are unsheltered. In New York, it's 5%"

> The triple scourges of drug abuse, mental illness and family breakdown have produced anomie and derangements far deeper than those seen in the 1930s

Completely unsourced nonsense. As if there were no homeless families or mental illness in the great depression. Even drug abuse isn't a modern thing, though the chemicals have changed.

I mean it doesn't even pass the basic (heh) smell test of "would you rather walk the streets of San Francisco in 1931 or 2019? I mean, come on.
Thanks so much for doing this original research and writing it out so clearly. I'm not in the life sciences, but about 40% of my funding is NIH, and this does seem to mostly match my impression of the biases people have of biomedical funding as well as the reality of things. There did seem to be some cognitive dissonance about people saying that funding is harder for younger PIs, that students don't have creative flexibility, etc. versus what I was actually seeing, so I'm glad your study captured that. I appreciate the nuance in the claims.

PS: have you thought about writing these findings up to publish? I'm not exactly sure of the venue, but maybe even a slightly more general audience magazine?

I'm trying to find that episode on YouTube, but no luck. Google searches show that they don't like each other much. Got a link?
There are public toilets in some of these cities. San Francisco has had self-cleaning public toilets for a long time, but probably has the worst feces problem of any first world country. On Google maps, it appears there are at least 20 public bathrooms in SF within a few miles radius. That's way more than I see when searching for the same thing in Santa Monica, another homeless mecca that doesn't have anywhere near the same problem with defecation. I'm skeptical that these toilets have much of an effect. Don't get me wrong, I do think there should be public toilets, and perhaps more of them. But if the homeless were that easy to reason with, perhaps we wouldn't have so many on the streets in the first place.

The effect is most certainly not the same, the fact that we are able to carry on this conversation on an American news site is evidence of that.

If the only thing that mattered was what the oligarchy wanted, Trump would have never been elected, because from all accounts he was widely loathed by those in power, even within his own party, not that it makes him a good president, but its compelling evidence that they have less power than you are assuming.
How many exactly? Do you have concrete data?

My understanding is that the vast majority of the homeless in NYC do sleep in shelters because... well, NYC has plenty of shelters.
How many people never see the small news website telling the unabated truth but are only getting 65 patreons every month and a few tens of thousands of hits, if that?

Now compare that to the viewership of USA's political propaganda network, Fox, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc. The things mass media says will make it to the general public, true or not, the small dissenting voice will reach a select amount of nobodies.

Read what I wrote. What I want is always-running in-memory. Being embeddable doesn't mean you need to have the sqlite model where several processes access the same database. None of the sqlite uses I've had required that at all.
> I can't wait until most jobs are finally automated and we're done with this whole capitalist system entirely and have to figure out what to do next.

We have to figure that out much sooner than all jobs are automated.
That's a caricature. In fact there are a near infinite variety of reasons for being homeless, and many homeless folks not only can hold jobs, but work them already. Yet they're on the streets anyway because of financial pressure, look like the "these people" you want to lock up, and would probably get picked up under the same ordinance.
> “because we care about your privacy, we have partnered with Bank X to develop the first credit card with truly private transactions”

It would have been awesome if Apple provided the lender and Visa/Mastercard/AMEX with a non-transferable license to use client/transaction data with Apple being the owner of the data.
Nope, just pointing out that it's more productive to focus on fixing your own country instead of worrying about China. If you have exact same problems, but you ignore them and obsess about China instead then you're not helping anybody including yourself. Worrying about China is akin to worrying about the weather on Mars, there's nothing you can do about it and it doesn't affect you. Meanwhile, what your own government is doing both affects you and something you can have an impact on.

So really talking about China is the real whataboutism here.
These minimum guaranteed income ideas are really interesting to me. It would remove a lot of the ritual humiliation we put benefit claimants through when they are desperate and often feeling worthless before we push them to sell themselves into a job. Not to mention the reduction in the cost to administrate the welfare system. Some might choose to use their income to take a stress break from work or write a novel or paint something; there may be untold benefits to such a system to society.

It's not about my personal preferences. If you're concerned about an instability period on your healthcare you can literally keep you old healthcare for up to 18 months with COBRA. Adding the contract-to-hire period doesn't really impact instability, at least as far as healthcare is concerned.
Before deep diving into CS theory, I would go deeper into programming first to better understand how a computer really works. The best intro on this topic I found is "Programming from the Ground Up" by Jonathan Bartlett [1].

"Programming from the Ground Up" starts at the bottom with CPU architecture and goes up from there to how functions work, dealing with files, code libraries, high-level languages, etc. Having a solid understanding here will provide immediate benefits in coding and serve as a strong foundation for some of the other recommended texts.

If you're interested, I recommend buying directly from Bartlett Publishing [1]. Bartlett published the book under the GNU Free Documentation License and there are multiple copy-cat versions on Amazon.

I think this is accurate, having lived all over CA and the Northeast. Northeastern cities build shelters because otherwise homeless people would freeze to death in the winter, though. Sometimes the shelters are only available during the freezing months.
Our public bathroom facilities are pretty sparse compared to some in other countries. Taiwan for instance has fantastic public restrooms in every subway stop.

This is ironically one of the ways using any AV can increase the attack surface of a device, leading to its compromise. I don't know if ClamAV has ever had an issue, but it seems lots of people here have forgotten the zoo of not-that-long-ago Windows Defender exploits that could be triggered by it scanning various files, like in a spam email the user never even looked at but their client downloaded a copy of anyway. The issues are often made worse by the AV processes that get owned already having root privileges.

tldr: The bottleneck is in the linear algebra libraries. Unoptimized Rust is 2x faster than unoptimized Python. Optimized Python is 2x faster than unoptimized Rust because it can vectorize matrix multiplications, but Rust can't.

My takeaway: stick to a GPU where everything is more parallel.
You could easily solve this problem by converting a small portion of major parks into homelessness crisis centers. Somewhere for people to sleep safely, with facilities, and resources for reintegration. Everyone blames the homeless though, they will rarely vote to actually help them but seem content to assuage their guilt by dropping a dollar into the can or praying for them. As if that helps.
That's also what a comment above notes, quoting an SFBay article[0]: 67% of Bay Area homeless are unsheltered, 5% in NYC.

So there might be a small number of homeless folks who can't / won't live in shelters, but that's what it is: a small minority.
