My experience is entirely different -- writing HPC code for supercomputers at Los Alamos National Lab (on and off for 5 years) made me a true Rust believer.

One of the things I spent the most time on with Fortran / C++ codes was debugging wrong-result bugs. About 90% of the time, the wrong result came from some edge-case where an array was wrongly freed too early, an array was accessed out of scope, or a race condition caused an array member to be updated in a non-deterministic manner. Each of these bugs required hours of debugging and was a huge time sink. Once I started working with Rust, I never encountered any of these bugs. After about a year of fighting the borrow-checker, I feel my overall efficiency has greatly improved.

Now, when I go back and write or read C++ code, patterns that the Rust compiler would yell about jump out at me (multiple unprotected mutable references, cloning unique pointers), and I find these are generally a source of the bug I'm hunting. Like sibling comments point out, a lot (but not all) of the things Rust stops you from doing are just bad practice anyway.

Of course, for GPGPU stuff I have to write CUDA or OpenCL, but those are generally small, compact kernels that are easy to reason about end to end.

I'm not suggesting that you are doing this, but for me, I initially resisted Rust for a long time. Rust seemed extremely complex, and whenever I'd try to use it I would run into a wall. The loud Rust community talking about how great Rust was and how easy it was to use once you "got it" made me feel stupid. Instead of being humble, I became arrogant, and I'd say things like "Rust is too restrictive for the high performance applications I care about" or "I write code that Rust would find unsafe but is actually super well-tuned for this architecture." For me, these were mental excuses I made because I was unable to accept that I was having such a hard time with Rust, and I considered myself a "high performance computing software engineer!"

It took me way longer than most to "get" Rust -- over a year of repeatedly forcing myself to learn and stumble through compiler errors before things started to click. A year after that, and I'm still frequently surprised by certain aspects of the language ("really? I need a & in that match statement?" and "oh god, what does this lifetime and trait bound mean..." are two of the most common). But the parts of Rust that have clicked for me (the borrow checker and associated lifetime mechanics) make Rust very enjoyable to write.

Again, I'm not suggesting that you are falling into the same trap I did, I just wanted to post this to encourage anyone else in the "banging their head against the Rust compiler" stage to power through!

There is often only choice in the market because government regulators prevent absolute monopolies from happening.
No one is going to get a billion dollar judgement over a death from a self-driving car. If you think every tech company working on a driverless system doesn't have an entire legal team behind them waiving away liabilities then I have a bridge to sell you.
There’s nothing they can do because all the legislative time is being taken up by trying to do something impossible.
You can call "sampling" "interaction" instead, if it's clearer. It still happens.

The "shutter speed effect" that your eyes produce are effectively what you perceive as your reality. If you could perceive as fast as a hummingbird or a bee, your reality would look a lot different.

Making a photographic film interact with photons is effectively sampling. The film is sampling the photons in the sense that whatever vibrations/waves the film is made of is interacting in a certain way with the vibration/wave of the photon. This process is going on continuously, non-stop every single moment, for everything.
As far as I can tell, Twitter is hugely dysfunctional and has literally contributed to at least one friend's mental decline. (Twitter seems much closer to single experience since you automatically get everyone's comments).

Facebook seems much more "what you make it", meaning it can be as bad as Twitter if you choose the wrong friends, wrong groups and wrong approach or it can be a place where you meet people with similar interests and filter out the noise.

Especially, you have this effect "everyone hates Facebook" but that everyone is distributed between people wanting Facebook to censor more (and as they'd prefer), people wanting Facebook to censor less (and especially not bother their bullshit), and people using Facebook as a stand-in for social networking or being on the Internet, or just talking with people you don't know very well.

I agree we have a prude-ish society but I think there are plenty of great arguments that can be made about the environment without resorting to shock value. I'm not offended by the sign, but I can immediately look at that person holding the sign and know that they don't have a deep, well considered world view...
This can totally happen. You might have already had the summon view up and targeted already, ready to leave, when your friend mentions something to you and you just stick your phone in your pocket.
Hmm that's not what I expected. I always thought DevOps consulting would be an easier to break into because your professional network is also who you'd sell to.

Because as a developer I know where to find tons of developers, I have a large network of developers. But the only type of software they or their employers want to buy is staff augmentation.
And that was likely the best short clip that would somehow fit the headline. The car is so slow and timid, it looks more confused than the people walking by.
This is not possible. You have to hold down the summon button in order for this to work.
This is the same for the train and shipping industries. I’ve always thought those vehicles had ample opportunities to capture solar rays and wind since they’re out in the open all the time, but we simply don’t have batteries and engines powerful enough yet.

Facebook can not regulate the market when it only controls 19% of it.
It's understandable that you'd need some oversight to acquire the materials. I wonder if it would be feasible to band together as a unified front to encourage an organization who is able to make this happen push towards reality

You're supposed to twist the cooler off to break the thermal compound. Pulling it straight off is a really bad idea.
Aren't you effectively asking the compiler to solve the halting problem?

I think the best you could do would be heuristics - having inferred or user-supplied bounds on the complexity of functions, having rough ideas on how disk or network latency will affect the performance of functions, and bubbling that information up the call tree. It wouldn't be perfect, but it could be useful.
Azure App Service, maybe? Deploying from the CLI is quick and easy. Or you can do it right from Visual Studio or VS Code.

Setting up a database of your choice (Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server) is nice and easy too.
SupersonicScrub's comment (a sibling to yours) says that the engine can be significantly more efficient if it doesn't have to meet the power demands of take-off. Their link says "at least 30%" fuel savings on a one-hour flight (although "the fuel savings will partly come from the latest gas turbine technology"). So maybe the rail system you propose isn't such a crazy idea. Also, it's not totally different in concept from an aircraft carrier's catapult; hopefully gentler...

Q: Why is suicide illegal?
A: Destruction of government property.

Truth is - property and property rights are largely a convention that we agree upon, that convention is how state/government is created.

Remember that there is only one sovereign in every single country on this planet - king, despot, president, parliament or the people. Individual sovereignty is practically non-existent.

You don't own the land or your body. We just agreed to protect each other's freedoms and grant certain protected rights.

401k is stupid (as stupid as employer based health insurance). It should just be an IRA contribution. It’s insane that your employer can choose things like health insurance and retirement saving for you. They should have no business in this.
> The advice may or may not be ethical, but there may be info in there to understand why Facebook became so big. I wouldn't want to do something unethical, but it's handy to know what unethical things work and why because maybe one could distill successful principles from it that are ethical.

What if you could make a company that you viewed as more ethical than the existing competition but to be competitive you would need to do some unethical things that the existing competition does, and without making those concessions your best projections show that your startup will go bankrupt before displacing the incumbent player? Do you let perfection become the enemy of improvement and stick with your ethical means-over-ends instincts, or get your hands dirty creating the sort of company you yourself complain about (albeit less than you complained about the incumbent player)?
If that helps out at all, it's a fraudulent transfer that would get reversed by the bankruptcy court. The business's creditors are entitled to up to 100% of the value of the assets that the business owns, you can't just sell them off before declaring bankruptcy.

It's a link; you have to have a developer account to access.

That said, it's pretty much nothing, other than enforcing https on .dev and .app domains.

Not sure why this is voted up.

It's condescending if your feedback is just bike shedding. Like if you think this module should be broken out into it's own namespace it's on you to explain why as opposed to "Have you considered putting this in a namespace?" -- most likely I did, and I didn't think it was important and now you are asking me to write up why I preferred 6 of one over half a dozen of the other and in non-violent communication forms on top of it. If there is a good reason, then just say it, otherwise it's super frustrating and time consuming.

BUT, if you are going to do that, please do it in your first pass in review, don't do it in your subsequent pass after I've already responded to your feedback. This is just inconsiderate of my time.
It is a negative. Nobody wants to navigate a social minefield where everything they say can and will be used against them in a court of public opinion. If social interaction becomes too difficult and risky, it's better to not participate at all.

This is why people get stonewalled. Why would anyone speak their mind when there are serious consequences?
Out of curiosity, what does CRM consulting look like? Is it autonomous job (configuring servers and applications) or face to to face to work?
That carries the analogy a bit too far. While 'sampling rate' commonly implies a discrete time interval it can also mean an average.

Wave function collapse isn't a physical process but instead a commitment to not try to explain what's behind the equations. (And IMO consequently not science. We don't just give up because it's hard.)

QFT meanwhile seems to say that samples is what you get when two fields intersect. However, Bell inequality and decoherence further implies that there is no such thing as an abstract 'sample'. The spread of quantum information from an interaction is a subtle physical process.
| From the receiving side: "they're criticizing your work, not you."

For a lot of developers they see their work as an extension of themselves. I think this might be the case for a lot of folks whose primary work is thought work.
I beg to differ. Based on IPs from Columbia Uni, NYC, we are a startup working on technology to produce green hydrogen from sea water and renewable energy. We received a NYSERDA validation grant and are on our way to pilot in the Port of Rotterdam in 2020. We are currently looking into the possibility to crowdfund some of our work.

Part of the reason for that is that Medicare is forbidden by law to negotiate prices the way other insurance companies can as a result of the GOP's Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

I've wondered if you could fix some of the problems with the modern internet / political landscape by making targeted advertising illegal.

You would still have advertising, but less incentive to collect data on individuals.

I would love to hear feedback / criticism on this idea.
The car stopped for a pedestrian who was hesitating to cross. I have seen human drivers in my area do much worse than this on average.
It turns out that aircraft have a very sensitive centre of gravity that needs to be close to the centre of lift. If you were to design a "battery bomb" you'd have to carefully engineer the pre- and post-bombing centre of mass and ensure that your control surfaces can respond adequately. In addition, you'll need bomb-bay doors and associated mechanics which adds mass and complexity. All of this takes a toll of efficiency, cost and reliability. However, it's an intriguing idea, especially if you use steerable parachutes that can neatly fly themselves back home, maybe all the way into a recharging slot.
Leading with 'why' often puts people on the defensive as it usually comes off as demanding. Asking someone to walk you through their rational lets them explain it on their terms, and assumes there is reasoning that you're unaware of that they may have discovered.
I mean, basically every train engine you'll see that isn't steam is powered by electric motors. The diesel engine just makes electricity for them, and is not used to directly drive them via transmission like in a car or truck.
ask yourself what is in Google's financial best interests, and I think you will figure out what the path of least resistance is for them to take.
> but take-off and cruise use probably ROUGHLY the same amount per minute flown - because why waste time cruising at a significantly lower power setting?

Breaking it down in my head, I come to a different conclusion. Engine power during cruise can maintain higher speeds at less power compared to takeoff. The wing generates lift most efficiently at the designed cruise speed when not changing altitude. Lower power at cruise doesn’t mean poor time trade off. Since the power is lower the energy (fuel burnt per minute) should be lower during cruise.
That's awesome. Do they have a good track record of privacy? I read what they have on their site, but I can't just take them at face value with something as valuable as a whole genome.
Because it's a racket.
Both government and the CPA cronies are complicit.

Pure and simple.

Rational countries disallow these kinds of activities, and give you all the information about you that they have collected. But Intuit would lose a lot of $79 customers.
More than just one guy - seems pretty systemic, if you ask me.

Sure, and as part of the people, I think we should allow lies in political ads except in particular concrete cases (e.g. lying about polling dates).

As someone who has built at least a hundred PCs, I have to assume that you are either breaking the parts yourself or buying from the shadiest resellers. Or, only built one and gotten very unlucky.
Damn - you're good. I will keep you in mind if any marketing positions open at my company.
What about parameters that are hard to measure?

Take for instances infectious disease models, often a very simple set of ODEs that are capable of capturing the wide ranging dynamics that we observe. One of the crucial parameters in these models is the transmission parameter, which determines the rate at which susceptibles become infected upon contact with an infected. Transmission is a function of a long string of physical, chemical, biological, social and economic variables. I am not sure how feasible it is to determine from first principles this parameter and so it is obtained from fitting the model to data. So in this case, one does not directly measure the parameter, but infer it from the data conditional on the model.
If GET is considered safe, HEAD must be as well. It's complete nonsense to claim HEAD is dangerous while GET is safe. Semantically, HEAD is literally just "do a GET but don't give me the body", so it should have the exact same server-side behavior as GET, except with the available optimization of not generating the response body (since it will be discarded).

The only reason this bug existed is because Rails treated HEAD as GET in some cases but not others. The sensible behavior here would be, in the Router, if the route didn't explicitly specify :head then it should convert the request to GET before handing it to the route. A route that wants to explicitly support HEAD (e.g. by skipping the response body) should explicitly specify :head on the route.

But the existence of this rails bug says nothing at all about the security of HEAD in general.
Disagree, the most monopolistic sectors in the economy (education, telecommunications, health care) are also the most highly regulated.

Some states don't even have charter schools, can you believe that?? They only have one choice for schooling from grade K-12

"amd" "nuc" seems a contradiction, "NUC" is an Intel trademark, right ?

Assuming you're using "nuc" as a generic term, is there an AMD-specific search term I can use to find these rumors? I've been in the market recently for a nuc form-factor machine and I've wanted to go with AMD, but haven't found much.

Yeah, speed beyond just speedy coding should be close to the #1 value for the company because it not only comes with other good things but it simply enables you to execute well on other values. It's fine to bloviate on customer trust as the #1 value, but if speed isn't taken into account then you get into frequent issues where problems come up (e.g. an outage) and while a fix or good rollback point is identified relatively quickly, it takes hours or days to actually deploy it. Those hours are letting your customers down further (and likely costing you money or even their business come contract/subscription renewal). A focus on speed for those systems would do wonders to mitigating that and improving on customer trust.

A lot of these problems seem to stem from people unwilling (not unable, unwilling) to exercise judgement, and apply the rules in an ever-so-slightly flexible fashion.

With the right attitude, a lot is possible, but as you said there is often this "wall of indifference". I think a big reason for this is that it can feel good to exercise power over other people by saying "no". This is doubly the case if you live in a society where everyone is always doing this to everyone else: you feel "small" and pushed around, so when you actually get the chance to push others around you'll instinctively grab it.
Ah, nice! Thanks for the info.
I mean they don’t just have us tell them what to do, and then we go our separate ways after that.

Rather, after we tell them what they should do, 99% of the time they respond with “okay that makes sense, can you give us an estimate for how much it would cost to have you guys do that? Because we don’t have the inhouse expertise for it”
Depends on the plane and the load factor. Assuming a conservative 80 mpg per seat a flight from Moscow to London would consume the following to move your tail between locations:

1554 miles / (80 miles/gallon) * 6.8 lbs/gallon = 132 lbs

I was actually a bit surprised how little it is. It gets better in newer aircraft assuming all seats are taken.

Sure. I have no objection to electric power trains for aircraft. But at that point, we're not talking about eliminating carbon emissions anymore, so the climate angle in this article ceases to be relevant.

I would actually recommend against that. If the user gets prompted for camera access the moment they reach your webpage, it will turn most people off immediately. They need to click "yes I want to try this" before they get the security prompt, it needs to be asking for permission to do something THEY initiated.
That twitter account mostly reports security bugs in 20-year-old C libraries. Nice, but hardly an argument against "C/C++", and completely irrelevant to people writing numerical code in modern C++.

For years, we've been telling newbies not to use the expression "C/C++", which is incorrect. Now the Rust community disingenuously keeps pushing this outdated meme; I say it's disingenuous because they are informed enough to know that C and C++ are distinct languages, yet they use the well-known flaws of C to attack C++ when it can advance their moral crusade for memory safety.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
> A free market should regulate itself.

Hoo boy. I agree it totally should. Been waiting for a while on that one though...
I think you're right that in case of obvious mistake, like a typo, a question would sound condescending (like "I think you can't handle feedback" instead of "let's make sure we understand each other's thinking").
