Innovation in America is essentially dead. First VC's don't know a good product when they see one, and they won't do due diligence on new products. So, they look to the tech companies that control the markets. Second, the services the tech giants are providing result in "soft GDP" dollars. We need VC's to be more community aware, and stop chasing cotton candy. WeWork is a rent seeker that has inserted another layer into the rental arbitrage process. That does not help the U.S. economy.
It's too bad that Sears never really got into online. They were once the top catalog retailer, and known for consistent quality, good warranties, and boring products. Somehow they missed the Internet, retiring from catalog operations just as Internet shopping got going.
Well in this case they can't find out where he lives because the register won't give up his information.

Your point isn't wrong, but you've linked to a weird package to make it; the http crate is an attempt to standardize some of the types used across multiple implementations. That takes longer than actually building the functionality, as the whole point is that you have multiple implementations, and then consolidate afterwards.

It's also not an "official document"; that's just a package that exists. It's not run by the Rust project.
Small nitpick, but what you are referring to is not an affiliate program. An affiliate program is where a website gets a cut of the sales for providing links to a retailer's site. So, The Wirecutter makes money by using affiliate links to Amazon and other retailers on their product review articles.

It would lower costs, and it would also put them on an equal playing field with the other domestic manufacturers, rather than having to compete with other companies who have lower costs due to not having such expensive union health care plans.

As for needing a solution sooner... it’s not like this is going to be the end of it. Health care costs were a major point of contention in 2008 as well. I’m pretty sure they were a major problem for GM well before that.

A pardon wouldn't have any different effect; she's not being targeted (legally speaking) for any action before Obama left office, so even had he pardoned here for every federal crime she might have committed from the day she was born to the microsecond Obama’s turn ended, she would be subject to the exact same thing she is experiencing now.

Now, if Obama has pardoned Assange things might be a little differenct for Manning, but that's a weirder counterfactual assumption.
I think that the EFI argument is something of a red herring, no one is suggesting a return to the Quadrajet.

OTOH, EFI can be done as a modular (and replaceable) product rather than as part of monolithic whole-vehicle design, but that last bit of goodness or regulatory need is likely not met.

You only mentioned one tradeoff for Rust and that is the complexity of the overall language.

A common UX dilemma with the listings of e-commerce websites
To be clear doctors could and had already been prescribing OxyContin and other opioids to 11 year olds. The studies where about guidelines for use not ability to prescribe. In this very specific case, the system was working correctly.

Opioids are addictive and become less effective over time. Opioids can also be a valuable tool for relief of severe pain over a short to moderate period. The actual issue is not the drug in this case it’s a drug company pushing for more scales.

PS: I have seen a friend become addicted while in cancer treatment. But, I have also been prescribed opioids after major surgery. So yes they are clearly extremely dangerous, but they can treat levels of pain that are difficult to describe.

They are assuming left leaning Presidents will do the right thing. It's, at best, a little naive.
The answer is a combination of 1 and 2. Not every computing device is actually useful. For example, you can find plenty of brain parts that look vaguely like GPUs or FPGAs. None that look anything like a standard CPU. This would be basically impossible to build out of cells, and not useful anyway.

The same thing applies to quantum computers. They’re much much harder to build because they’re more delicate. We’re talking about effects that usually are completely destroyed by a single unwanted atom coming in and hitting something. And there are a lot of atoms flying around in cells. Propagating any quantum signal from even one cell to an adjacent one is impossible. Finally they’re less useful. I can’t think of problems a biological brain needs to solve that require even a moderately fast CPU, let alone a quantum computer, which provides speedups over the CPU for only certain specific problems.

But none of this really matters, because your comment is one long isolated demand for rigor. You wave away my long list of examples because you think something very distantly related exists (in which case, with those low standards, quantum computers already exist), or because the examples are clearly impossible or not useful (without equally seriously considering the same for quantum computers). This is what I mean by skepticism of QC being driven mostly by intellectual fashion.

> "easy" languages like Golang in favor of other languages with more powerful abstractions.

Go is easier to learn than C# (I'll omit Java in this comment as I have more experience with the former), but that doesn't make Go an "easy language". The name itself implies that mastery doesn't come immediately.

The powerful abstractions that you mention, including generics, are indeed good things, but pardon me but I suspect you've never seen how badly and easily they can be abused in certain environments. You've probably seen the Factory<Factory<NaturalNumbersFacade>> joke somewhere, real live enterprise software is sometime like this, but unironically.

> Generics are the death of enterprise software

That's an hyperbole, I've never made such strong statement.

>Even the Actor methodology you're citing as part of Golang as good is actually a fairly sophisticated abstraction with lots of implications for the runtime and execution order. Why is that specific programming abstraction given a pass because of its benefits, but writing a generic linked list is going to be the death of your programming organization?

Goroutines and channels are simpler than the threaded multiplexing that C# does with its stackless coroutines. My argument is mainly related to the many ways you can mess up async/await in C# vs the 2-3 ways you can deadlock in Go. I link to a talk, an image and a blog post related to the subject.

> You also defend the structuring of many enterprise groups even as you suggest that they lack training, refuse to pay technical debt, and place unreasonable burdens on developers.

I don't defend nor encourage this, but that's what happens in real life. It's the result of many factors at play, some of which I described in the post, some of which even I don't understand. If I did, I would be way more rich :)

You can refute my assessment of reality, but "being complicit" is not exactly appropriate when 80% of the enterprise consultancy jobs out there are like this.

> Why would we want to pander to a methodology that asks junior developers to proceed without training and places focus on process and hyper-specialized domain experts rather than clear communication, sound architecture and sustainable velocity?

You can't change how things work until you understand why the work the way they do (or at least you can't reliably change the world unless you do). Refusing the current state of things is step 0 of N, and I've learned in my experience that change in big systems comes incrementally, you can't "distrupt all the things", so Go is (in my opinion) a step in the right direction.

I would recommend you talk with somebody you know that has this type of work experience, they will be able to convey to you how these things work better than I can, probably.

Rust isn't there for http services yet (if you're being conservative). Come back this time next year and things will be different though.

A nice thing about Rust is that there is so much safety is built into the language that even random libraries tend to work quite reliably.

Traditional hosting is hurting WordPress
I use KeePassXC in multiple groups with different synchronization software (Dropbox, self hosted client side encrypted Seafile, etc.), for each group I use a different .kdbx and .key (of course that one not synchronized).

There are multiple .kdbx apps, like MiniKeePass on iOS, which is decent, but it's lacking active development at the moment.
I work at a place where it isn't uncommon for folks to work remotely, however a large marjority didn't start out that way -- and I think there is value to that. One or two years of in-office work at a company allows you to learn more quickly, adapt to the culture better, and forge relationships that you can leverage in the future. Maybe job boards should have catagory/option for in office positions that allow for future full-time or partial remote work.

"Average is Over" by Tyler Cowen. It maybe isn't revolutionary, but it tied up a LOT of loose ends in my head about where we are and where things are most likely headed.

His thesis statement is that scientific and social progress is now largely in the hands of AI and that those best able to utilize those technologies to augment their decisions, and everyone else will suffer.

I think he overestimates AI in the short term, but in the long term, I don't see how he's wrong. I've started to study AI again (having worked in an AI lab 20 years ago).

From Wikipeida:

Cowen forecasts that modern economies are delaminating into two groups: a small minority of highly educated people who are capable of working collaboratively with automated systems will become a wealthy aristocracy; the vast majority will earn little or nothing, surviving on low-priced goods created by the first group, living in shantytowns working with highly automated production systems.
It is nearly impossible to do so given the private nature of these numbers but having worked in the industry extensively I can tell you the returns are generally atrocious and that no one invests in VCs to be fiscally responsible in the traditional sense.

Investors who put money in VC are generally so wealthy that by the time they are ready to invest in VC they have exhausted all other standard investment opportunities like stocks, private investments in mature companies, personal trusts and real estate and are simply looking for anything with a higher chance of return than a bond.

I’d estimate 90 out of 100 times the VC burns entirely through the money, 9 out of those 100 break even, and 1 out of 100 is profitable. 0.1 generate a return of something like Apple or Google.

That 0.1 in a 100 chance is good enough for the investors as they don’t feel any pain when it’s lost.

That’s why VCs have no interest in sustainable but mid-size businesses, only 100x opportunities. Their public marketing will push that it is because they are visionaries, the reality is that they have no interest or expertise in building mid-size businesses and the returns are so awful for their ‘visionary’ picks that without that 100x investment working out their funds would consistently be total losses.
The Office will leave Netflix in Jan. 2021
It's strange that we accept a copyright system that allows a show like Seinfeld to remain outside the public domain over twenty years after it ended.

Intellectual property exists to encourage science and the useful arts. It doesn't exist to extract every last penny of value out of a show for its owners.

In a world where copyright existed for twenty years, rather than 95-120 years, Seinfeld still would have been made. No one is green-lighting a television show with the expectation of huge distribution agreements decades later.

I'm not generally one to bash corporations, but US copyright law is among the clearest examples of corporations writing our laws to the detriment of consumers.
"speed of developer iteration" is a phrase I've heard outside of Dark. Specifically, "developer iteration" is how fast you're able to iterate on ideas with your code. If you can ship stuff faster, you can iterate on your ideas faster.

Sure, on the main economic left-right axis, which has very little to do with this issue.
I applaud the effort for the project because it's really ambitious. The delivery at this point on the other hand makes me a bit skeptical. I've watched the hello world app a few times and my impression is that it relies on lots of convention over configuration (same reason I disliked Rails). The "cards" or files on the canvas look a bit chaotic and their relations are not clear at all what thing triggers which event. The slackToken thing is confusing too.

Have you tried user testing the platform with random developers, giving them a laptop with the instruction, "Here you go, this is the readme, getting started guide, go build a todo app"?

I'd like to see a more detailed look of the language itself with a slower pace of explanation.

Just by watching the video, Dark feels like I'm interacting with a cloud backend rather than building stuff in a programming language.
Seven steps to make travel to scientific conferences more sustainable
I don't disagree. But the cost of attendance includes a line item for "personal expenses" (which includes books and all that stuff). For 2019-2020 academic year at Harvard, that line item is $4,193[1]. There's also a line item for "travel expenses", but when using their net price calculator with my circumstances when I went to school, that kept coming back as zero.

By zero'ing out tuition, fees, and room and board, that leaves $4,193 as the cap on demonstrable need, which federal loans and many scholarships will use as a max limit on cumulative aid. This is unrealistically optimistic, and serves to needlessly cap the potential ability to raise funds via merit scholarships or loans, shifting part of the cost burden to ongoing cashflow.

Which, I'll concede, isn't necessarily too hard due to the plethora of work-study and student jobs available. But I only knew that after the fact, and the prospect of getting stuck far away from home without the money to make ends meet and the knowledge that your family is too far away to help you get home and too poor to help financially is terrifying to a kid right out of high school.

I also learned, through the work that I did for the university I went to, that the cost of attendance isn't as black and white as it's made out to be either. Although universities may differ in policies, they can make accommodations in your individual cost of attendance letter if you can justify the deviations. But I only learned of that flexibility after experiencing the system, and it wasn't clear at the outset. So I didn't even realize that was a possibility when evaluating acceptance offers and aid packages.
