Man, everybody had blackberrys in the US. It was a huge success. Apple took a risk decision of having a purely touch-based smartphone, and the bet paid awesomely. But by any other aspects, the blackberry was a more useful and powerful device for professionals than the IPhone.
There is an automated tool - c2rust[1], automating a huge chunk of the translation from C to Rust. Moreover, it has a refactoring tool[2] that is scriptable in Lua. One of the good examples of such conversion (still not finished though), while still producing the same output is a rewrite[3][4] of XeTeX engine to Rust (as part of Tectonic[5] engine). It is able to parse arXiv articles dump and generate valid PDFs still.

There is some concept[6] of converting Java to Rust, but it is far from being as useful as c2rust tool. Would be nice to integrate with c2rust somehow, if someone wants to help.

I actually really like 10.14 - I'm kind of shocked you're still on Mavericks. My 2010 MBP (with upgraded SSD) still rocks 10.13 fine.

I tend to agree with your sentiments, and my political comments are typically pretty anarchistic, but I don't think we should let language become a barrier to communication instead of a bridge. I can understand how some conceptions of "liberty" are increased by certain security measures. If you can safely have a picnic in the park, you have the liberty of safely picnicing. If the park is full of bandits who consistently take baskets from picnicers, you've lost the liberty of safe picnics even if the official government isn't the one who took that liberty from you.

Again, I'm not arguing for increased security, just for understanding the way others use language.

A job isn't solely about pursuit of money. Presumably, you are doing work that adds value for someone and/or society.

It's also a form of security should the online income suddenly dry up. It can also be a source of healthy social connections.

I was a homemaker for a lot of years. I did a lot of life enhancing stuff for me and other people. Trying to translate that into an adequate income post divorce has been enormously painful.

Some people successfully turn hobbies into careers. Others can't pull that off.

If someone's life works, changing some piece of it could cause it to come apart rapidly. Why risk that?
Scott Aaronson is probably one of the most underrated scientists of our time. He's very approachable and has responded to comments and emails of undergrads like me in a few hours. Not only is he part of the team that practically invented quantum supremacy, but his blog is the most informative blog out there for ethics, morality, nerdiness, theoretical computer science and the philosophical implications of complexity theory.

I've been using and loving MessageEase [1] for several years now. There's a learning curve, but as much typing as I end up doing on my phone, the investment was well worth it. It's also hugely customizeable and makes coding much easier on a phone--not that I make a habit of that.

That should be solved. Cities have noone else to blame but themselves for poor public transportation (see California's train).

It really is a waste to have people commuting like that, it's a city problem though, not a car problem.

Yes, cars should be limited in your cities, and yes you need better public transportation, but that doesn't mean getting rid of cars everywhere.

You need to structure around roads because you need to connect goods and services to the last mile, but you also don't need to have every citizen in your congested city driving to work. I don't see why you're conflating those two.

Nope, not at all. It would be great if they did though, it would actually give them an incentive to protect artists and photographers. Right now they are taking a real back seat with copyright infringement, which is a real shame because it's the creators that bring all the value to the platform and they're the ones that are losing out, whether it's not being properly attributed for their work or brands reposting their stuff without payment.
"I don't think I've ever met a developer who didn't want to rewrite their predecessor's code and that includes the one I see in the mirror"

Allow me to introduce myself ;) I mostly work on new products and rewriting to me just a waste of time. I am interested in creating features that give actual ROI. The only time I rewrite a piece of code is if said piece presents a major problem (bugs, performance etc)
I did the $600 leather boot thing. They've lasted me 4 years so far, and look almost brand new. I mostly wear them in fall,winter and spring. (They're a little heavy for summer).

I'd wager 1 pair of $600 boots removes the need to buy 4 or 5 pairs of cheaper boots – and lessens the impact on the environment.

It's difficult though for the majority of people to afford $600 up front; so the argument of eco-friendly vs economics is not a choice for most people.
My former one-person online biz (2013) is now 10 people - we run Amazon end-to-end ops for a few large brands and manage ~100k SKUs -- basically the work is all operations research + grunt work. We do mid eight digits in revenue.

A friend of a friend was the COO of a brand, spent a couple mil to position themselves online strategically, but that team couldn't deliver results. As a grad student in ML I spent a disproportional time procrastinating on Craigslist and Slickdeals and flipping inventory between those venues, SUPost (school-centric CL basically), and eBay, so I ended up being rather saavy at ecommerce. I offered to help out their store, then took it over when I got some initial results.

Ironically I think from a pure EV standpoint I shoulda stayed with my ML degree - my friends in the same cohort are averaging a mil a year in combined salary + bigcorp options. There were a lot of heartache and sleepless nights associated with running a company, and looking back honestly I would've had a more peaceful life toeing the 9-5.

=====

I have a few one-person side projects right now concurrently that are providing five-digit revenue that are hard for me to scale, but are enjoyable for me to do:

1. Domain expert in a hobbyist niche with high gatekeeping (skill and/or money) - I create a couple high quality content a year and make residuals off affiliate fees.

2. I flip small businesses in a very specific niche of ecommerce when they don't layer into my big business.

Note: this seems mildly prolific but honestly I have between 2-5 ideas a year of which I try to execute on 1-2 of them. I think of them as cognitive surplus, "Art projects for Fun and Profit-TM". Most ideas end up not working out, so the payoff really has to be about the process, not the result.

I always go out of my way to buy outside of the App Store. Sometimes the app store version is crippled due to constraints from the app store so it just makes sense. Other times, I still do that because I want more of my money to go to the developer.

Oh, and for the few app I installed from the app store (usually because I had no choice), I loathe getting a message saying "Blahblah couldn't be updated because it was open"... It's the worst app updating scheme I've seen.
Pretty bullshit method. Any software that wastes my time begging me to market for them gets uninstalled, period.

This could be done well or badly. I think the biggest challenge would be competing with industry at hiring good employees.

That makes sense, I guess I was focusing in on a particular font in the article that clearly has the mark of Yan Zhenqing's style. I'm talking about whatever font is used in the characters 使使 over the red background. Even the shape of the downward left pie strokes is distinctly Yan's style.

Maybe that's just a testament to the distinctiveness of his style that it is still clear even after being adapted to the constraints of printing, or it might also just be that particular font?

Wouldn't that encourage developers to create more addictive apps, add longer UI animations, and apply other tricks to increase usage time? Valuable apps that require only short interactions would certainly suffer under this scheme.

Just letting developers get paid without taking a 30 percent cut, or not banning open source apps for including a Patreon link [1] would be a great start.

There are quite many different types of airlines. If you show up for some flight, it might actually be operated by personnel that are on the books of some other airline.

There's Boeing which also used to have an airline. It was made illegal IIRC.

And there are things in between these two extremes.

Some airlines have a heavy maintenance organization. Some have outsourced it. Different companies have different market segments and safety records etc.

The point is, there's no one true way for all.

There is a lot of commentary in this thread about the speech being self-congratulatory in nature, but I think the actual overall tone for it is much darker. The speaker is essentially congratulating all of the graduates for working extremely hard for their entire lives, and that, despite all that hard work, they and everyone else around them will continue to work extremely hard with no end in sight. This is especially true for any of the graduates that want to earn lots of money or that want to make big changes to the system. All-the-while the speaker says that everyone else - the 99% - have essentially already lost the rat-race, and lost it before they were born. The rich are stuck in a laborious 'gilded cage' of their own creation, and everyone else is struggling to pay rent.

I highly recommend you read the entire article. It presents a lot of very good points that are relevant with regard to the macro-structure of the new American economy.

I am no fighter pilot, but I (used to) fly airplanes, floatplanes and helicopters. A watch with a 12 day battery life makes little sense to me as I find it too easy to forget to charge it. Even if you put it on a checklist, it may be too late to charge it when you are about to go.

For my flights I mostly use an automatic Glycine 24hr watch with a second dial set on UTC for "Zulu" time. If the watch is running at the beginning of the flight (confirmed with a checklist) it will continue running during the flight.

I have to admit that this Garmin MARQ looks lovely though :)

> But the biggest reason to rewrite it in Rust is safety.

This is not a good reason if there are cheaper ways to get safety (at least for existing codebases). Indeed, there are sound static analysis tools (like TrustInSoft) that guarantee no undefined behaviour in C code. Using them is not completely free, and it may even require adding annotations to the code or even changing the code, but it does seem significantly cheaper than a rewrite (in any language). Such sound static analysis tools are already being used for safety-critical systems in C, and I believe they are more popular than a rewrite in Rust in that domain (where there are reasons not to rewrite in Rust other than just cost, though).
Only barely; you would strap them around the outside of your flight suit on an extra long strap.
There is a relationship formed though, 'we will provide you this information early on the condition that you release not before a date and time we specify.' They both get something valuable from each other, the outlet access to write a better article and to publish sooner when it will get more traffic and the company gets their earning in front of more people.

I’ve got a large number of contacts who I rarely (but not never) want to contact.
I believe that going to lunch with co-workers should be an opt-in thing, on that we agree. If a company required me to go to lunch with co-workers, then that is technically not a lunch break. That should be considered a "working lunch", and should count towards your hours logged for the week.

With that said, I think you are missing out on a key point here, which is that a HUGE part of being an effective programmer within an organization is your ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with other people.

When you step out of your comfort zone and spend time building casual relationships with your co-workers, you will discover that your influence within the organization grows, and you will also find that people tend to be more empathetic towards you if (and when) you inevitably screw something up. If someone regards you as a "friend", they are much more likely to extend you some grace when your bugs cause them inconvenience. You will also find that they are more eager to pause what they are working on and stop and help you with things when you need it, or to answer your questions. In a situation where you aren't their friend and they don't stop and help you, you could easily be looking at days/weeks worth of delays and back and forth while they are being unhelpful.

Sure, you might be a 10x developer within your little silo, but the moment you need something outside of the silo, you will find those interpersonal relationships can often make a huge difference.
The point is that Americans are not legally required to produce identification within American border so long as they're not driving. They're required to honestly answer authorities when asked their name, but that's it.

You need not be baffled. The software industry is good at lobbying.
>I once saw a fascinating pamphlet advocating for graded runways: planes taking off head downhill, landing, uphill. The idea was that you would save a ton of fuel.

It doesn't work, unless you build double the number of runways, at huge expense, because you'd have to have runways going both uphill and downhill in the same direction.

Runways in real airports go both directions, not just one. They change direction depending on the prevailing wind direction. You never land with a tailwind, or take off with one. So a graded runway wouldn't be usable part of the time, unless you built two of them like I said, or made the runway much longer.

Honestly, this idea sounds like something dreamt up by someone who's never piloted an airplane. I've seen other proposals for airport/runway design like this which also were dreamt up by people who had never flown an airplane, and the reasons their ideas made no sense were easily pointed out by actual pilots.

I feel like there's also something to be said about old media and their revenue models. Commercial breaks are written in to most shows, and show length matters.

With newer media, it doesn't matter if you have a 22 minute episode 1 and a 47 minute episode 2 - you create the scene, shot and/or episode length that works for you artistically.
