I think the key difference here is that in your code you’re saying you “know” that it’s safe to write to these certain sections of the array from different threads. That’s an invariant that‘s held in your memory (or in a comment maybe).

The rust equivalent is doing the exact same thing but requires you to formalise that invariant in your code by using one of the methods defined above.

I can see how initially this looks like an extra hoop to jump through but after using it for a while I’ve found the opposite is true: because those invariants are checked by the compiler it’s one less thing I have to keep in my head and I can concentrate on the real problem.
Yeah the "if GET" code raised my eyebrows a bit, I know rails can handle separate GET and POST funcs.
Garbage men report real high levels of job satisfaction. When asked why, they’re answer is simple: everyday the job gives their life meaning - they clean up for others and for everyone. Their role is fundamentally important.

Contrast this with my job. Energy researcher. Let’s assume energy research is necessary. Odds are that in my career I won’t make a ground breaking discovery. So I get up drag myself to work knowing that most likely than not nothing I will do that day will mean anything to anyone.

Not to say that sanitation work shouldn’t be automated. But the lack of respect for ppl’s livelihoods commonly shown in HN, or in general neoliberal circles, is astonishing.

A quark system might be nearly as complicated as a galaxy. Certainly, a particle of carbon is much more than a simple point-space. "Particle" is a misnomer and hopefully we will one day resolve the Standard Model particles down into more specific classes of systems.
Yeah, we've had a couple of leads like this but each has wasted an enormous amount of our time. The general story has been they'll bring in several companies, we'll compete to get their business. We'll win the "competition" and then they'll assure us they're right about to pull the trigger for years.

I've found that a large portion of clients that have vague idea of what they want are window shopping or very early in the purchasing process, that usually when I have vague requirements I'm usually pretty far from writing a large check. And it's really difficult(for me at least) to tell the difference between "I want to write a large check to solve a problem which I don't have any proposed solutions for" and "I have no idea what problem I want to solve, and if I even want to solve it, but I'd like to bring in a highly paid expert and chat with him for free to figure out if I even want to solve this problem".
No, I think it's pretty common in this case. [1]

I don't think Facebook has a monopoly on eye-ball shares in particular. They might have monopoly on social networking as such but given they're not the only thing a person will see in a day by a long-shot, I can't see how they're being more anti-competitive than a TV network (which also has a large but limited share of views).
Even if we currently have the greatest standard of living that does not mean that the rate of increase in quality of life hasn't slowed (or reversed) nor that our standards may soon see regression.

People that want to do harm are many times just looking for an excuse to do so, regardless of them claiming it was just the other way around (as in pretending a logical argument led them approve of violence). So in other words just because some bad people use a fact as an argument does not make it false or not worth sharing.
“Non-blocking” code is basically just code that takes a short enough amount of time that we don’t care that it blocks the thread. It’s inherently a matter of judgement.

I think what was meant by "adjust your models of reality" was simply "show empathy".

Showing empathy is definitely an actionable advice and should be a prerequisite to any attempt at communicating with another human being.
SSL Cert Rotation with Ruby Runbook
Kafkaesque would be...

- I don't know what my responsibilities are.

- I don't know to whom I am obligated.

- I cannot discover either.

- I am being punished for failure to deliver.

- Everything I can possibly do is not enough.

- Every 4 weeks, men in grey, face-concealing masks sedate me and graft what is possibly the upper half of a deformed baby onto my back. They cry constantly. I am not allowed to have mirrors. It has been 18 months, and I can barely lift the weight of them any more.
> Some people decide to get married after knowing each other for a few weeks.

This is a high risk scenario. Being vulnerable early demonstrably can accelerate a relationship, but as I mentioned this is a high risk approach that most people would not recommend as the norm.
Summarized well by these lines:

> Back in the day, front end, back end, operations, and DBAs separated because they needed different skills. Now we accept that a software team needs all the skills. We group by responsibility instead — responsibility for business value, not for activities

> We once layered by serving data to software. Now we layer by serving value to people.

This is a nice narrative for the rise of developer products, where there used to not be a market.
Image Recognition: How can I change the floor pattern in a room's image?
I need to use some AI technology like Amazon Rekognition to recognize the floor of an image, get the path, get the perspective and insert a new pattern.
It’s easy to come to a point where we only talk in coded ways to follow the letter of the rules.

People start saying “thanks for your feedback, we’ll look into this issue when planning the next iteration” as code for “you could be pissing in the wind”, and most communication becomes non sensical where you need to feel if they actually mean what they’re saying in text form.

Then we lament that face to face time is needed to communicate efficiently with people.

Of course, Commodore being Commodore (notorious for not sticking to spec and instead frequently just using whatever parts they had in stock or could get a good deal on), there are C64C's with "breadbin" motherboards and breadbins with C64C motherboards (C64G, etc.), and while most C64C's have the 8580 SID and most breadbins have the 6581, this is not true 100% of the time. You really have to open any given C64 to see what you're actually dealing with.
For the cases where a question would be too condescending, or things that are mostly a matter of taste, I phrase them like you did: using the words 'I think'. Still leaves open the possibility that I missed something obvious, or that it's ok to disagree with me.

I hate to be the rain on parade guy, but... you are talking about chemical engineering that will involve working with gases like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane at a large scale. You're simply not going to be allowed to even purchase the raw materials you need in the quantities you need unless you are running a proper chemical company, complete with all the certifications and HSE work. The investment cost is huge, and requires a lot of specialized engineering plus the purchase of a suitable industrial estate that is large and has a wide safety zone against all surrounding neighbours.

If you're serious about this, I'd recommend reading Max Gergel's book "Excuse me sir, would you like to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide", and then imagine what you would need to go through in order to start an operation 10x to 100x bigger than Gergel's in todays regulatory regime.
Pre smartphones I would have hated this, but I'd argue it's probably easier on mobile than desktop now, so probably quite useful. 99% of everyone I know has email pop up. You'd just click the pop up and click the button in the email (I assume).

Well, here’s the thing about that: if I measure myself against the expectations that are being put on me, I’m orders of magnitude short. Compared to the expectations put on everybody who carries the title “programmer”, I’m not even qualified to be in the same room as one. But who’s setting those expectations? Not other programmers. Certainly not anybody who could walk over, roll up their sleeves and say, “See? Here’s how easy it is. Just do it like that next time.” No, these expectations come from “project management professionals” who cringe at the thought of typing a formula in to Excel. These expectations come from people who attended a two-week seminar on managing programmer “resources” and whose sole contribution to the practice of developing software is asking “are you done yet? Why not? Are you the one who’s stupid, or is it somebody else who’s stupid?”

> half the developers I have worked with are more capable than me

Really, though, how do you measure that? If you have the self-awareness and humility to consider that it’s possible that somebody might be better than you, you also have the introspective capability to improve - which makes you better than a lot of the people out there.
This was about gates on the platform, not gates to get into the station. Those new station gates have been a complete boondoggle however. Translink spent $200 million [1] on a system which was supposed to save $2 million a year in fare evasion but people just jump through anyway. They try to put a bright spin on this saying revenue went up $30 million, but they don't talk about ridership level increases at the same time. Even if they saved $10 million a year, it would take 20 years to pay for the system, far longer than the useful life of the fare gates.

During the "Autonomy Day" announcements, I believe Elon Musk said he assumed the company would be liable for any damage caused by driverless vehicles. When the cause of an accident is a manufacturing flaw, the manufacturer is liable. Tesla has been sued several times regarding autopilot, but in all those cases they argued that the product wasn't flawed, it was just missing features that a human driver was expected to provide. I'm not sure what Tesla's expectations of their customers are for this feature. Maybe the owner had to agree to use it only when in line of site and stop it if it was not operating safely.
It’s cause the plan is poorly thought out. I kind of agree with him, the same way her plan to implement Medicare for all wouldn’t work. It’s not that either is a bad idea but the plan for implementation is wanting

People are ignorant and have prejudices, and prejudices don't shake easily. It's not like there aren't similar prejudices about western Europe (Italy is filled with crime! Irish are drunk! etc).

The rise of low cost flight in Europe has thrown down barriers and people travel more, but it's only a tiny minority of the population who decides to travel to eastern european destinations.

Sort of off-topic but for context, the “Department of Work and Pensions” (DWP, previously the “Department of Social Security” but renamed for ideological reasons) has been repeatedly caught making blatant lies in publicly released material in recent years, and are widely despised by anti-poverty and disability-rights activists. So do not take their statements at face value.

Maybe human potential isn’t that great. At least not for most people.

At a local grocery store they employ mentally handicap people to man the check out counters. They aren’t even aware that the automated counters make their jobs totally useless.

They are extremely slow at checkout.

And yet, I am very pleased with this grocery store because they’ve given a menial task to people who would otherwise have nothing. A chance to be in society and interact with us. Maybe, given the self checkout, it’s theater; but I don’t care. What’s the alternative for these people? Euthanasia? Do you see value in their lives?
We the people? No. Pass a law first before you claim "we the people" want anything.

And "we the people" wanted internment camps for the Japanese, and believed in the racist philosophy of Manifest Destiny, so maybe "we the people" shouldn't be in charge...
He promised to pay a certain amount into an established scheme.

That is typically not the case with pensions. That is the whole problem here! With a pension, you promise your employees they will get a certain amount of money in retirement. With an American 401k, you promise your employees that you will contribute a certain amount of money to an investment that they control.

So when a pension plan runs out of money, that means an employer is reneging on promises they made to their employees.

This actually happened and was on video as well. It was the first week smart summon came out. A Tesla was moving, already behind a car, then the car just backed out into it. A typical parking lot crash that happens all the time. Parking lots are terrible places for accidents.

Of course many in the media took the video and created a headline which was VERY misleading.. "Tesla smart summon gets into accident"... while yes, that is true, it was no fault of the Tesla doing smart summon.

I can see how going to a meetup for an interest orthogonal to your own could be fruitful. If I’m a hardware/embedded person and I go to a python meetup it’s possible someone works for a company who is looking for some one off embedded work.

Not really; one Michigan-specific consequence of the financial crisis was a takeover of city governments by state-appointed "Emergency Managers." These managers were given broad, non-democratic executive latitude. In Flint's case the appointees were Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose. They are currently being charged with a multitude of crimes for their actions which caused this (so are a dozen other employees, but they all reported to Earley and Ambrose) and they are responsible for the drive to "save" money, damn the consequences.
