Rust has seen lots of quiet uptake. What you don't see is hiring for people for Rust because most organizations don't experience a whole-sale shift to Rust, and you just retrain people on the inside.

I'd wager there are lots of people like me - writing small tools at work in Rust, but the employer would never hire for Rust.

I think we'll see broader market adoption in the next 2-5yrs though, in terms of people actually hiring Rust developers. There's still a little maturing to do in a couple areas to clean up some papercuts.

Disclaimer: I really like Rust am a little biased.

But it takes more feed to make one pound of beef than one pound of chicken.
Some ones that come to mind:

1. Unemployment due to AI and automation will be moderate, mostly affected by the transport sector as autonomous driving improves.

2. The political discourses will tend to extremes because the political arena is now in social media. Image ads generated by GANs and optimized for conversion will be widely used, memetics will be more relevant than ever.

3. The run for exploration of the pacific will intensify, big companies will invade small islands for mineral exploration. It will be the new US and China economical battleground.

4. Financial solutions that democratize access to markets will grow. Billions more will have access to foreign stock markets. Educated high-middle classes around the world will be getting richer.

5. Service apps like Uber will be responsible for allocating significant part of the emerging countries work force. Work laws will need to be rethought around the word.

6. Software developers are going to be OK, the software dinner keeps happening.
What about masers? The atmosphere should be fairly transparent in that frequency range so no need to worry about scattering, and the wavelength is short enough so you don't have to worry too much about near field effects.

It’s already happening everywhere in Europe. In Berlin where I live district authorities are already experimenting with car-free zones and I can hardly remember a situation where personal or rented car would be necessary. The main reason for it is the air pollution, which will continue to drive this change until early 2030s, when the share of electric cars will be big enough.
Near a depression are you?

> SpaceX crash-lands something on the Moon (before the first half) and Mars (after the first half)

Well, that or Musk rightfully claims the next decade, just like the last, where he came out of nothing. If so, and given a decline of the USA, a climate of desperation means he ends up elected president.

Well then I see what you see, when you say you want him to crash-land ;)
All knots significantly weaken the cord they're tied into. A very significant margin of error is built into the ropes to account for this.

Rappel only exerts a force equivalent to your weight, plus a little extra because of bouncing that naturally occurs during descent. 1kN = 224lbs force, so if you weigh 200lbs you can expect to exert about 1kN of force on a static rope. About the weakest static rope people frequently rappel on is a 7mm line, and a typical one[1] is rated to 12.4kN. So abrasion, knots coming undone, losing control of the brake strand, etc. are much larger concerns than static rope breaking due to knots.

Static ropes are ideal for rappelling, but climbers will often use the same rope they lead climb on to rappel on, and for lead climbing applications your rope must be dynamic. The weakest ropes you would usually lead on would be something like 7.5mm half ropes. A typical example[2] doesn't list a maximum breaking strength, because this statistic isn't relevant for dynamic rope. The purpose of a dynamic rope is absorb force during a fall: if you take a lead fall on a static rope, it's unlikely that the static rope will break, but hitting the end of a static rope is just as bad as hitting the ground with the same force. When you hit the end of a dynamic rope, it stretches to absorb this force, giving you a gentle fall. The maximum force on the rope listed is 9.9kN, which is from a UIAA-standard test fall: these falls are far more violent than anything you are likely to experience in actual usage. Ostensibly the rope can handle more force than that, but 9.9kN of force would probably kill you anyway. Luckily the rope stretch means it's unlikely you'd get anywhere near that level of force: a typical lead fall is in the range of 2kN. So again with dynamic rope, margins of error are very high, and abrasion, knots coming undone, losing control of the brake strand, etc. are much larger concerns than static rope breaking due to knots.

This is all fine and good on paper and in a lab, but does it work in the real world? The answer is yes: real world accident statistics[3] indicate that the most common accidents on rappel are simply rappelling off the ends of your rope. I wasn't able to find a single accident caused by rope breaking due to knots. Ropes do break, but this is typically attributed to abrasion over sharp surfaces, or long-term wear, and even these accidents are rare.

EDIT: Just to be clear, although there is a correlation between thickness and strength, the thinnest ropes aren't necessarily the weakest. The examples I give are examples of some of the weakest ropes I have used. This also shouldn't be perceived as a criticism of these ropes: as I said, these are more than strong enough. Thin ropes are certainly more susceptible to abrasion and aren't as durable, but this is a tradeoff for having a very light rope for moving fast. I used these ropes because they are the best ropes for the situations I planned for.
EV certificates are a scam anyway.
I think using emacs while being unaware of this is possible, but severely limits how comfortable you'll be actually using it. If you don't intend to heavily invest in learning emacs, one is probably much better off using something like VS Code or Sublime Text.
I don't know, e.g. Qt has a license for commercial use, but most people would say the project is open source.
Well, I have a Ford Explorer and CarPlay and the Ford UI are all touchscreen. And a smaller one than my 3.

That said, I miss CarPlay for Messages (recently added to Tesla but not as good) and better Spotify controls (how exactly is Tesla sorting albums?). I guess Waze, too.

It's odd to have an acronym that includes Netflix but not Microsoft - I'll give you that.
In Australia, we normally have the resources to have controlled burns throughout the year to reduce available fuel and keep the wild fires smaller and controllable. The government chose to pull back funding for our fire services, which resulted in reduced controlled burnoffs and an increase in the amount of fuel available for fires in high risk areas.

Once the fires did kick off, we also had fewer appliances and equipment to fight them. This is partly a natural disaster, partly a failure of a civilization to protect itself.
Socialized healthcare doesn't mean doctors are a government employees. It's still private profit driven companies running their businesses. It's just the government instead of your insurance company paying.
I think there are usually two reasons.

1 - A significant portion of our economy is healthcare middlemen. With single payer or nationalized care, all of our Blue Crosses and Cignas (and the jobs associated) would evaporate overnight.

I'm not arguing that we need trillions of dollars of our GDP locked up in middlemen, but it's very hard for a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

2 - We hear about long wait times in other countries. And the stories are mostly true. There's nothing wrong with waiting, but we've been conditioned to expect near-immediate resolutions.

People in the United States with high-quality private insurance* can usually be seen by a specialist within a few weeks regardless of how severe or immediate their problem is. The truth is that unless that person has some kind of advanced or rapidly progressing disease, they could wait for months without any problems. But that would be a major change to the way we think. It would mean allocating care based on need, not based on ability to pay.

*High-quality private insurance is usually one of the perks of working for a great company. I would argue that only a small minority of Americans have truly high-quality coverage. But all of the people who don't have high-quality coverage envy the others and vote with them, a la "temporarily embarrassed millionaire."
That argument was discussed and resolved when the Articles of Confederation were disbanded some 200+ years ago. If anything military spending would be a good reason not too socialize anything as it has clearly gotten out of control.
I don't see how this is any more informative to your average layman?
I think it is the little things. One of my family members drove up to see me recently and I let them park in my garage. I was blown away when I walked into the garage with the smell of oil and gas. Granted, their car is an early 90s corolla, but still. Then I worried about oil leaking and put down a drip mat.

The thought of owning an ICE vehicle after owning a Tesla Model 3 for a year (Nov 2018 is when we took delivery) just does not sound appetizing whatsoever. My wife, who was originally a skeptic, is the one that suggested we sell our 2011 Ford Fiesta after purchasing the Tesla.
SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."

If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I haven't yet found a programming language that I'm not productive in. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally. Last year, I quickly picked up Typescript, and soon helped the rest of the team understand it better, and I completed 23 days of Advent of Code in Rust.

I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

By should I am speaking in terms of competitive markets resulting in prices reflecting the cost of production + minor profits.

Cosmetic surgery prices are generally reflective of costs including advertising etc. It’s not cheap by any means, but you simply avoid overhead occurring in other parts of US healthcare. Dentistry is another example where prices are generally reflective of costs, at least compared to say hospitals.

Learn how to secure your Kubernetes cluster from the ground up
I find that a little surprising, because one of the side effects of 64-bit address spaces is a lot of redundancy in pointer representations stored in RAM. 64-bit pointer-based data structures have more redundant zeros.

Much of the energy in a computer goes on communication between chips, so increased memory use means increased energy use. As well as more going on inside the CPU transferring all those redundant pointer bits around

And phones are notably sensitive to energy use.
It's a shame Volvo hasn't brought that car to the US for almost a decade. I may consider the new XC40 electric when it arrives over here.
A glass bottle you return isn’t “cheating” any more than bringing your own bag, IMO.
It's funny, people often compare Tesla (or electric cars in general) to the transition to iPhones from our flip phones and the complaints are the exact same: "I would prefer tactile controls"
That's all possible, of course. But tax incentives for clean energy and market penetration strategies might account for such price reduction. At least I hope so.
AGPL or "pay for a commercial licence" is becoming more common. Still open-source, but if you don't want to open source all of your services, then you can pay for a commercial licence instead
Computation is a rabbit hole, there is no end to its depth.

Comparing the definition of C++ to Haskell, one will see that there's orders of magnitude more incidental complexity in the former than the latter. Every professional Haskeller I've spoken to who previously did professional C++ has emphatically agreed.
Yes, Zuckerberg and his team have effectively withdrawn from China. They spent years trying to come to an agreement with the Chinese government, but could never find consensus. They opened up a dev shop in China, only to have the mandatory government license revoked some time later. Facebook has also instituted internal policies forbidding hosting data centers in countries with records of human rights abuses, although admittedly I haven't been able to verify whether they stick to that. It's not farfetched to see that Facebook missed out on tens to hundreds of billions in potential revenue, hence skin in the game.

Per Reuters[0]:

> Zuckerberg effectively closed the door to China in March [2019], when he announced his plan to pivot Facebook toward more private forms of communication and pledged not to build data centers in countries with “a track record of violating human rights like privacy or freedom of expression.”

There is a different cursor when you hover it. At some point you can't help people anymore.
The solution to this problem is pretty simple: throw all these guys in prison for price fixing and set price caps on the drugs. Look: if the power company was allowed to set the price of electricity to whatever they wanted, how much would your electric bill be? Some industries require regulation. You might not like that but it’s a fact.

If the government was to set up its own insulin manufacturing plant and sell the insulin at 20 dollars a vial, every private manufacturer would drop their prices to match by nightfall the next day. Let’s not act like this is a confusing or unsolvable problem. This is a trivially simple problem with several perfectly obvious solutions.
And Google Cloud doesn't support IPv6 on GCE instances or VPCs on January 1, 2020.
Android, WPF and Universal Windows all use XML to specify UI, and the programming language of choice to specify code. That's still two languages, even if it removes the need for a third language exclusively for styles. In each you could use pure code to build the UI but readability and maintainability would suffer a lot, so nobody does that. Once you have the view separated from the controller, writing the view in a language better suited for nested UI seems quite natural.

What are examples of MVC using only one language?
Because ee.co.uk.billing.info would get taken down pretty quickly. Using this method the domain only has to work for one day before they move on to the next one.
Is it actually UB or just stupid? I've never tried to dig in and understand C++ at the standards level, so I don't know, but you don't get to just "call" UB; it has to be UB by the standard.
Starlink is done by SpaceX, not Tesla.
Try Codesandbox and Figma (both run in the browser) with your kids. Figma is really underrated as a general graphic design tool, the pen tool for vector shapes is top notch, and you can use blend modes for images. Google fonts are already integrated, it can be used to learn e.g. logo design.
HipHop was a cross-compiler which facebook abandoned for HHVM, a rewrite of the PHP engine with faster internals. It always had compatibility issues, but the improved performance made it interesting (afaik nobody outside facebook really got that much into Hack the language). PHP7 was a rewrite of the internal data structures which put it on close enough performance footing. Because HHVM was never a drop-in replacement for PHP and moved further away over time the community ended up sticking with PHP7 and now pretty much only facebook uses HHVM, with the big players that moved to HHVM all transitioning back to PHP7.

> Tactile controls are antithetical to updating the UX with software updates.

Tesla already has some tactile controls - they're on the steering wheel. I think people are just asking for more of them. If Tesla continued along in the same vein, a few more software defined controls wouldn't hurt UX updates at all - they would just give users more options for the UX functions they use most often.

> It doesn't appear either complaint is inhibiting sales.

People buy cars as entire units, they don't buy features piecemeal. I could just as easily claim Tesla is selling cars in spite of its dearth of tactile controls.
I hope you see the difference though

Ah yes, you're right. I'm so used to thinking in Equities that I assumed it was obvious. We never expressed views in the underlying commodity, always in companies that are levered to it.
Training is an abstract term these days. Could've meant training an algorithm, or training a person, depending on context.

Hence the training for "what" or for "who" not being immediately parseable.

Until @ryacko said "Whom do you think I'm talking about?", I wasn't sure either.
It is upsetting to some because some people assume a resource can't have feelings. Like saying "women are objects." Obviously this isn't what is meant with Human Resources but in today's world people want to argue over naming conventions as if their perspective of a name or even a definition is the only right one because it fits their goal. Make no mistake if you called Human Resources instead Team Builders someone would eventually a few years down the road get mad because you can only build buildings with objects and so the name doesn't do justice to the feelings of people again.
Same here with fiancee moving from the US.

Here we finally got the MRIs that were recommended but family couldn't afford years ago. Sure, we had to wait for 3 months and the doctor's visit + MRI cost us a total of $35 (hadn't reached the $120 yearly out of pocket limit) but it was a known non-emergency.
The lack of wanting to improve the site really shows. Of all the dating sites I've tried POF is by far the worst, nearly ever user I've had contact with was a spam bot. It's totally useless.
- The PC as we know it will die and everything will be done through cellphones/tablets. This means that the mouse and keyboard will probably die as well and apps will adapt to other more common interfaces such as voice-commands.

- Social networks that are less "company controlled" will become more popular: users will be able to change the algorithms behind what their social networks are showing them. They'll also be able to prove that the networks haven't "hampered" the data in any particular way. These technologies will help the laymen to better filter out fake news and we'll have less "flath earthers" groups becoming popular.

- AI techniques (machine learning / neural networks) will not just be useful for apps, but will be part of the development process itself: our IDEs will have powerful AI technology to help us code.

- Solitude apps will be even more specific: we'll be able to find/filter people with very particular interests and hang out with them. Finding your partner or best friends through apps will be even more common.

- Cities might experiment with shared-living areas where people live together with one another in common places and are incentivised to participate in activities with each other with a stronger push towards community rather than isolation.
Raising prices is good if that leads to increase in supply which then pushes prices down. It's bad if it leads to no added quantity and inequality (unfairness) in allocation/distribution.
I really want to agree with you — and I do to some extent, but I’ll counter with what made the iPhone:

It did a cell phone absolutely right.

- Visual Voicemail; Full internet browser; Music player; Fluid, Threaded SMS conversations; Contacts that looked like contacts
...

For every phone use case, the iPhone delivered a sense of “Finally!”

The Tesla experience had that aura to me when they pitched the battery swap technology — that’s when you said, “holy hell, they nailed it”

However that was dropped, and all other releases have felt lumpy and pumpy. The only thing I believe we all truly love is the acceleration... and really, that wasn’t a “product first” choice, just an attribute of the electric technology.

I really want Tesla to be successful — they just don’t know who they are.
Depends if you are lefty or righty.
