Life is not fair. I will either fight the rules, try to change the rule or find a way to adapt the rules to benefit me.

Which is the same as what you are trying to do, trying to change the rules to fit your preference.

How timely. Currently am frustrated by indy consulting. I have watched several colleagues successfully launch into independent consulting. Honestly, it's a mixed bag. They speak very positively about it, but when I ask more direct questions, I hear about trouble getting paid, Net60 and longer durations between checks, long periods between gigs (7 weeks was what one friend just reported).

Every time I attempt to go indy, I land a good lead, go through the preliminary stages, and then the deal goes flat. It's almost like there's a blacklist out there and my name is on it for some reason. I know that is likely untrue and I scour Google with my name to see if some oddity comes up but really there's nothing. It should be no more difficult for me than others and yet it has been.
Record keeping is already in place for the air miles programs. It's a solved problem.

Similar to the Siltronics (Intel's wafer supplier) comment above, We can certainly gets some hint from ASML, the only supplier of EUV lithography system. There are already backlogs to fill and Samsung and TSMC seems to be holding majority of those orders according to their investor meeting notes.

So unless ASML has some EUV system sitting around waiting for Intel to pick up, their 7nm ramp won't be anywhere near TSMC or even Samsung.

So 7nm could just be another 10nm, it shipped in July, but it is still no where to be seen in November.
My wife was applying to be a licensed clinician in a remote town back in March (Alamosa, Colorado).

One of the interview questions was, "What is a self-care ritual you currently have that would be made more difficult by moving here?" Its slightly morphed version of a common interview question in mental health around self-care.

Her answer was simple, and had an immediate echo from the other clinicians. "Target"

If you don't know Alamosa, Colorado, it is a decent sized town that is about 2.5 hours from civilization. It has a new Walmart Super Center and a Tractor Supply, but that is about it until you get to pueblo for a Target (2.5 hours away), or Colorado Springs (3.5 hours away).

All of the clinicians said their favorite part of the yearly meeting in Denver was going to Target.
Rust outright forbids a few Bad Things, such as "simultaneous" reads/writes on the same piece of memory, and read-after-free. E.g. reading partially-committed data from non-atomic writes is a really nasty form of data corruption that can easily occur in simulation-style code.

Of course, no language can protect you from all bugs, but some languages can protect you from at least some bugs. Rust can, and does, protect you from all data race-related bugs, and few other classes of issues.

He's spot-on with that last part: you only need a few. The same few contacts (4-5) have brought me more work than I can actually do, and I often have to say no. It's pretty hard maintaining a relationship with all of them, though: when you say no, they have to look elsewhere, and that's when the relationship can falter.

I agree with you. My spouse and I foster. We see the effects of trauma day in and day out; both in the children and their bio parents. People cannot get the help they need from a psychic. The trauma has rewired their brains and they need to learn tools to cope with that. A psychic won't teach them any of those coping tools. A psychic is a cigarette to a drug addict. It's another addiction that takes the edge off.

This is fantastic. I'm most interested in the eventual arrival of Zen 2-based APUs for upgrading my tiny home server. Getting a (hopefully) 8 core, 16 thread part with integrated graphics at the end of 2020 would be a fantastic value if prices stay similar to the current announcement (sub $200). Seeing AMD continue to make incredible progress on their chips makes me very excited!
If the press paid attention to this, I think we'd have a chance at an agreement that did something.

Instead, it's like a participation trophy for politicians.
This is going to open the flood gates. I am sure lot of people were just waiting for this moment for Rust adoption. I for one was definitely in this boat.

Also, this has all the goodness: open-source, high quality engineering, design in open, large contributors to a complex piece of software. Truly inspiring!

Here’s the answer I was looking for, in general I think the HN crowd is too reductionist to begin to understand these concepts. Most of them are seeeking intellectual validation or safety. Really open your mind up and these concepts are incredibly evident, I think inherently these realities are on a level that logic simply can’t reach. That doesn’t mean they aren’t real, as the shaman would say you don’t need to believe me, I can show you.
Facebook and Google Are Not the Enemy
Hi HN!

We started this to share our thoughts around interesting content (articles, products, podcasts) on remote working. We feel almost all the content (websites, newsletters) online around remote work focuses largely around jobs. However, a lot of people want to talk and read about others’ experiences, know more about distributed teams and how they work.

This is our attempt to deliver such content weekly. We started this only a month back and is still in nascency. Would love to hear any feedback you may have for us :)

Looks cool. A related project is MIT's ClimateColab:

https://www.climatecolab.org/

They run annual contests for climate solutions. For several years they had a conference at MIT for all the winning proposals, with VCs attending. In the first couple years the winners presented their ideas to small groups at Congress and the U.N.

But neither of those entities was interested in the ideas anyone presented. Now they've scaled down to a few tightly focused contests sponsored by people who actually want to implement something.

The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is nearly old enough to vote. (source for the uninitiated: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/greater-internet-fuckwad-theo...)

I don't understand why the founders think "this time will be different". The disconnection of digital communication makes it easier to be abrasive, even if real names are used and the comments are private. We have ample evidence of this from other platforms with direct messaging and identifiable individuals.

The majority of the messages will still be "kill yourself, you [expletive, slur]". The rest will be spam.
you are correct that marginal pricing mechanism are no longer enough to solve this problem. we have moved on to the legislative phase.
I dressed up as a fortune-teller at a Halloween party in a house I shared with a few people. It was a fairly big party, 40-50 people. As a joke, I set up a little booth under a sheet and started telling fortunes.

People went wild for it. Many of them knew it was me (slightly drunk) and they still sort of believed me. People waited in line for 15-20 minutes. I told people mostly jokey things that were positive. I started getting adventurous and told people random things - if they didn't like what I said they were genuinely sad. What surprised me the most was that people would take anything seriously from a tipsy fortune-teller beneath a sheet.
> It can't be fraud if your intentions are good, apparently.

I'd love for any lawyer to chime in, but I believe that's the case, yes.

I believe it's similarly not murder if you can prove it wasn't your intent, making it manslaughter or other classifications.

Huge IANAL disclaimer.
Can you refute their points more directly?
Are there that many people looking for a new low level language for server side software?
Absolutely! The more people that are working together on climate solutions the better as far as we're concerned.

It looks like that initiative is working together through a Google doc for now? Perhaps they might be interested in also leveraging a forum-type environment to foster ongoing discussion in addition to their document! Love what they're doing though. If you're involved with that, get in touch!

Just as note, people underestimate the pollution volume from cigarettes, because they are small I guess, but since millions are smoked every day in countries like France, it makes a lot

I estimated that PM2.5 pollution from cigarettes can represent up to 5% of vehicle traffic pollution (estimation made for Paris, using their data of traffic pollution, and cigarette sales)

Also, when someone is smoking in his idling car in traffic jams, there's actually more pollution coming out from his cigarette than from the rest of the car (cf that old paper https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6312-cigarettes-more-...)

Of course it's just one factor among others, but each of them is worth efforts
Mobile data has been fast enough for many years now, depending where you live.

My 2 year old phone has 20Mbit/s upload and 79Mbit/s download on a good day. I don't upload videos, but if I did I expect that's fast enough in the background.

The phone upload is way faster than my "fiber" connection at home was, when I still had one.
> ~$20(!) for something Facebook enables at no monetary cost?

These costs are not something that Facebook does not suffer - all these infrastructure, development, maintenance and other expenses exist for every online service.

In case of Facebook, though, these expenses are paid by you being not also the user, but also its main product. And, as much as I would like to think otherwise, Friended - as a VC-backed service - will also go in the same direction once it finishes its "growth" stage and enters the "milking" stage.
I posted this earlier but it failed to gain enough upvotes, thx. BrowserFS is a pretty darned nice library that I'm using to make an extension based file manager.

> "being rational wasn't invented until the 1930s

Rationality -- which is to say reason and logic, was already formalized over 2000 years ago, by Aristotle and other greek philosophers. It wasn't reason that the ancients lacked, but empiricism as embodied in the scientific method -- although even that was used to some degree by people such as Galen and Aristotle.

Reason alone can take you down deep rabbit holes, because it's heavily dependent on what you take as postulates, and without empirical measurements, it's difficult to figure out where to start the chain of reasoning from.

It took a long time to standardize measurements and record keeping to the point where people could do accurate experiments that could prove theories that people had developed through reason.

For example -- the ancient greeks had already developed the idea of atoms! [0] But they had no chance of proving that atoms existed, so it was one theory among many. What ended up becoming the general accepted theory of matter was hylomorphism [1]. They lacked physical and intellectual tools that they would have needed to be able to distinguish the two theories through experiment, similar to the status of string theory today. Some religious ideas that seem absurd today -- for example the catholic belief that bread is literally transformed into the body of christ -- were justified by the belief in hylomorphism. In the case of transubstantiation, the church claimed that while the accidental properties of the bread, the form of the bread were unchanged, the underlying substance of the bread was completely different -- in the same way that for example a petrified tree was transubstianted from wood to stone, while many of the accidental properties and the form where unchanged.

Thank you Alex Crichton, Niko Matsakis and all other core devs, Rust is by far the most well designed programming language I've ever dealt with. It's a masterpiece of software engineering IMO.
Clickbait title. Read the article hoping for great news in the emerging aerospace sectors. What I actually found was a rather large serving of humblebrag with a generous side of monetary privilege.
Wouldn't a carbon tax on the source, when fossil fuels are extracted, be more effective?

You'd still be paying more for longer and more frequent flying, but you'd also be hitting personal jets harder than full flights, less fuel efficient planes and flight paths against better ones - and it would be reduced even further if an airline managed to electrify.

Although that still ignores the additional warming effect of radiative forcing caused by flight.

I fix out of bounds errors fairly frequently, but every single one of them is a trivial typo that is caught instantly and takes under 10 seconds to fix and re-test, literally. The reason for that is that in my domain all the memory requirements that matter [1] are known statically down to exact sizes, which are mathematically provable. Making good use of this fact makes most memory safety bugs either impossible (like the usual double frees, use after free, etc.) or trivial to address (like out of bounds accesses). The common approach, which frankly horrifies me, of dynamically allocating different objects all over the place at runtime and trying to care about it to the least possible extent is just utterly alien in this domain (which I think is the point of similarity to game engines). Consequently, things like the borrow checker, that are fundamentally designed to make this common approach safer and less bug prone elicit a "um... why?" sort of reaction from people like me, because they seem to be completely beside the point [2].

[1] Yes, there are scratch buffers for things like log output and other details of convenience. None of them impact the actual simulation and all are easily handled by a trivial bump allocator over a static buffer. Bugs are unlikely and rare, but if they do happen they don't really affect anything of consequence.

[2] The borrow checker is just a random example, I also tend to avoid most of "modern" C++ for the same reasons and write in a fairly orthodox style.
It's appalling that even proper science research can be fraudulent.

All water connects, sooner or later. The problem should be fixed if for no other reason on account of this fact.
Or you rethink completely the problem, and beam the energy to the plane.

Surely you can see some causal relationship between the two though? On a “whole society” scale, how is merit defined? If you come up with some rigid concrete definition, someone else may disagree. So democracy stands for the proposition that the most reliable way to define merit is to trust the majority of people’s consensus. How else would you propose that merit be defined and evaluated, long term, on the scale of an entire society?
The problem is a relative one. I could make the same argument about anyone and everyone, we very clearly have not achieved perfect knowledge, necessarily we are living a sub-optimal existence. Suggesting you know better is a slippery slope, I may think I know better than you, and for your own good you should only eat vegetables and other plant based foods. Even the things we believe to be true are often later to be proved false, we should not be over-confident in our understanding of the world and life. Live and let live, educate by all means, share your experiences and education, continue to support free inquiry and self-reliance, but we should not try to control other peoples behavior so directly.

Why would it be different for async code than sync code? The goal of Rust's checker is to track lifetime of an object so for example it knows that at the end of a function the object should be freed. Async shouldn't matter here.

But the US is over 24% of global GDP [0], so that means we pollute less per unit of Global GDP than the combined rest of the world on average.

I'd say there's room to improve, but if we compared all countries this way, we might have a good conversation.

For instance, Germany may be skewed as high pollution per capita, but roughly 1/2 of their economy is for exports. Penalizing them because they make things there for people around the world wouldn't seem fair.

Let's say people have religious experiences, where they sense or feel something that's as real to them as what you see in front of your face. I have.

Are they supposed to ignore that, not dig into it, and pretend it didn't happen? That's as irrational as asking you to believe it without such an experience.
What is your savings rate?
There are much better ways for the judiciary to maintain their finances than relying on arbitrary non-cost based fees for public access to public information. Judiciary funding is around $7 billion/year. Pacer makes maybe $150 million/year. Agree that Congress should fix Pacer fees, but the judiciary is not free from blame here.
I tend to agree that compelling content is a core reason this hasn't taken off, but that is in part because such content is resource intensive to develop. APIs & devs are exactly what is needed to lower the barrier and make content development easier and more accessible.

> Wouldn’t taxing wealth reduce the real value of properties?

Yes. That's almost like magic. You get cheaper properties, the property tax revenue is used to reduce your other taxes so your net income does not decrease (on average, of course). So you actually get more money to spend otherwise than into your mortgage. Almost like alchemy. Turning taxes to wealth...
First of all, resume standards may depend on your country. I'll assume US.

* Start with your basic information (name, email, etc) and a short (as in 2 sentences) summary of what you're trying to achieve.

* List your skills and stick to technologies. Don't mention the whole "organized, fast learner, good team member" shit. It is unquantifiable and assumed from a professional. Everything you list should be briefly mentioned either as part of a past job XP, or a side project.

* List your work experiences. Use action verbs and highlight what you did and how it helped the company.

* List your side projects with links to demo and repo

* List your education.

Don't add the "hobby" section. nobody cares that you like rock climbing or walking your dog.
