Your understanding of the 2nd amendment as an individual right is because by a line of NRA propaganda that started somewhere in the 1970s, and is unfortunately now established jurisprudence. But historically your understanding is dead wrong.

In the post-Heller legal interpretation, the start of the 2nd amendment is fluff with no meaning or force. But the phrase, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," was central to the intent of the amendment in an era where every able bodied white man from 20-40 was expected to participate in an organized militia organized by local government and the state. The protected right to bear arms and what arms you were to bear belonged to the militias. And the militias included so many that they really were, "the People".

You can't have a perfect transfer process, thermodynamics prohibits that, and you have to have some kind of physical media which will fail over time, and thus require regular upkeep and maintenance, as well as a constant supply of power (which is also not infinitely available or free.)

TANSTAAFL.
This is a plot point in various SF works.

For example, in the Honor Harrington books by David Weber, the Manticore system colonists traveled to their target a couple hundred years in hibernation. But as it was likely propulsion technology will advance before they reach their destination, they also left part of their money in a trust fund back on Earth, to make sure the Manticore system won't get squatted in the meantime.

This proved to be a sound idea, as practical FTL drives have been invented after the colony ship has departed and they have been greeted by the Manticore Trust navy upon arrival, that has secured the system a couple years earlier, arriving by the newfangled hyper drive. :)

> Python works on every platform, and distributing is just a "pip install" and "pip install -u"

Until you have a dependency which has a C dependency (like a crypto framework, SQL connector, etc). Suddenly you need an entire compiler toolchain, dev dependencies, all the library headers, and a decent amount of time. Also the errors thrown when these compile steps fail are anything but helpful for new users. If you are lucky there is already a wheel for your platform/arch.

> Surely thats easier than "Download the correct binary for the platform, unzip it, change permissions, add it to your path, then do it all over again for every update"

This is trivial to automate using a script and has a ton less failure modes to deal with than Pip would have (do you have the correct Python version?, is there a compiler installed for C modules?, etc).

It doesn't matter whether their behavior is considered "instinctual". What matters is that they can quickly adapt their behavior to entirely novel scenarios:

I don't get it, why didn't anyone just fork it and outcompete the original one?
Rust is unique in that it attracts:

- Language theory enthusiasts, a famously pedantic group

- Systems programmers, a famously exclusionary group

- Unwashed masses of web developers who have never done either of the above before

Frankly I'm amazed it's been as civil as it has been
Does it profit anyone to make that distinction? Unless the quibble is a
genuine nit (spelling error or one-line change), have the quibbler implement the desired
change. Oftimes the quibbler misjudges how much code would have to change to
accommodate his "minor quibble." Better to have him figure that out
first-hand, than the original author having to convince him herself.
Okay, I massaged the GitHub API logs[0] with jq to make a readable version of the issue history[1]. I was firstly (based on the blog post) feeling bad about the maintainer... but after reading the issue report, it turns out multiple people were working on the issue and the author responded... 'this patch is boring'. That's... certainly not good to people who are trying to resolve the issue. He even goes to threatening to delete the organization if people talk about the issue.

> it's not a maintainer's responsibility to follow best-practices, respond to feedback/PRs, or respond in any coherent way to anything asked of them.

I mean, I'd say that it is a maintainer's responsibility to do some of these things. If they can't, they should allow another interested&qualified person to be the maintainer instead. I understand that it's their right to abdicate these responsibilities. It's not illegal or anything. They can choose to be irresponsible, yes. But personally, I think that maintaining the repo is the maintainer's responsibility. And I think the responsible way to do that involves "following best-practices, responding to feedback/PRs, or responding in any coherent way to anything asked of them."

I'm NOT saying a maintainer should have to add features to satiate the masses. I'm merely saying that a "maintainer" has some small duty to "maintain" a product, and also acknowledging that they have a legal right to abdicate that responsibility.

I'm not sure anyone should be immune from social criticism. They can always make someone else the maintainer and avoid any future work/limelight/criticism.

I won't touch the childish vs. adult debate as it pertains to abdicating one's responsibilities.

I am also NOT saying that people should "expect to be be served high-quality open-source software for free, and then outrage when it isn't." But it seems like it's a maintainer's responsibility to allow (and maybe even facilitate) competent, motivated individuals to contribute to their open-source project.

I also don't know exactly what the reddit brigading involved, this is the first time I've heard of this story. Harassment obviously is not okay and, not coincidentally, is illegal.
One thing that isn't considered is that these "benchmarks" are a rat race to the bottom in code quality. You can't blame the author(s) from wanting to win this fictitious wall of fame. I don't know why exact numbers like "6.9987 million/sec" exist. There should be a saner way to run benchmarks, which in turn creates sanity among developers.

This viewpoint is, of course, unrelated to the community discussion here. I mean other languages have unsafe (or c's void *), but they don't appear to fight about it. I don't mean to say anything bad about Rust. But it seems to attract people who want the absolute best performance at any cost. IMHO. May be I am wrong. That may be something Rust people can try to change??

Good god, is this supposed to be ironic? Imagine trying to paint Reuters as biased. Next thing you’ll be telling me that the Associated Press is biased as well.

And really? USMCA? You mean NAFTA 2.0? Imagine acting like “passing” USMCA has any meaning. It’s just NAFTA. Tell me when we pass the TPP. Oh wait, we messed up and now that ship has sailed without us.

This is news whether you like it or not. Sorry, there is no “spin” here. Reuters reports news. They report the stock market being up, they report yield curve inversions, they report it all. There’s no hidden agenda, get over it.

It's not for everyone, but getting into distance and running really helped my sleep and energy levels in general. It does take a lot of time to train for a full marathon IMO, so I'm not sure that would be very manageable as a solo founder. But, eventually squeezing in 7-8 hours per week to train for a half marathon could be doable depending on your schedule and other commitments. I personally found that my increased energy levels made up for the time commitment in productivity and general well-being, although I have to temporarily sacrifice other hobbies and some social life in the middle of rough training cycles. Finding friends to run with helps make the latter more tolerable.

I struggled a lot with sleep issues in the past - both falling and staying asleep - but I surprisingly found it really difficult to not fall asleep early and stay asleep for at least 8 hours after some very long runs during training. It takes time to build up endurance, but once I was able to run ~5 days a week with a few 6-8 mile runs without excessive effort, I found it easy to maintain a schedule that keeps me tired enough at night to sleep quite well. I also found that marathon training improved my time management skills a lot.

If you don't run at all, couch to 5k is a good place to start. Measure weekly distance and increase mileage at most 10% of week after that. Reddit's /r/running is a good place to find more learning resources.
>>>It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

I think "as easy" is plainly incompatible with "much harder" or "impossible".

You cannot make something plainly much harder than something else, and still pass the "as easy" test in the law to a T.

You also cannot pass the "accessible" test that way.

>> intending to frustrate the consumer from exercising their rights.

I don't believe it is legal, because these are statutory rights.

To use an analogy that involves another statutory right, it would be like a company preventing you from exercising your right to return a broken product "because it's their business model to ship defective products and we cannot kill the economy by preventing that business". Companies do get away with that, because people can't find the energy to pursue it, especially for small violations, but when sued those companies do lose.

You cannot determine that it's legal just from the fact that companies get away with it.
So, where is that? That branding and design they made?

Seems like this was a big scam.
People being people. I disagree with both the author’s code choices and his treatment. I imagine most feel the same. Rust will be fine. The lessons learned about choosing dependencies wisely and taking responsibility for those choices will be scarce.

Running software is always more of a performance than an institution.

Some floss developers choose to work for free. That’s fine or even admirable.

That doesn’t mean that everybody needs to. If a dev isn’t being paid then they should have the absolute right to refuse all maintenance or even just destroy the project.

I’d keep my code closed source if there was a risk that it would start getting used and suddenly I’ve got an extra job for zero pay.
It helps me, when interviewing people (already past the HR screen), to make assumptions about what we don't need to talk about. I'll still do my checks on your knowledge to make sure you aren't just a cert collector who has no real hands-on knowledge, but it tells me that there are certain things I probably don't have to dig into.

Aside from that, I'd agree - it's a variable to plug into a dumb screening system to make you appear on the "good" list.

Hey! I'm still waiting to hear back from the astronomer I paid to do the research. I still intend to report back with their DOI from the resulting paper. I recognize when I've exceeded my domain knowledge and need an expert.

To be clear, I think we're well in the realm of academic discussion; no one is stopping any global constellation due to astronomy concerns. As I've said many times in this thread and elsewhere, I think it's a growth opportunity for the astronomy community to move towards space based observation platforms, and with the plummeting cost of lift (ie SpaceX Falcon and Starship) I don't think that's an unreasonable position to hold.
While there were definitely a bunch of shady things going on (e.g. Paulson helping Goldman negotiate a 100% payout of AIGs CDS obligations) during the crisis, the treasury actually made a profit of $15.3bn on TARP.
A pension is a plan where your employer promises to pay you money _after you retire_, in perpetuity. In the "olden days", or when working for the government, one often would work at the same employer for 20+ years, and a pension is a way for that employer to support you. (My dad has multiple pensions from when he worked at a large company, and then later for the local county government.) In general, it scales up the longer you worked for a company. This was back when companies and employees were "loyal" to one another.

That seems to be a lot less common now.

> If this is the issue, one of those forks will become the new mainline repo everyone contributes to.

I know that is how it is "supposed to work". However, I've very rarely seen it actually work that way.

The problem is the "first-mover advantage" and it is a hard one to overcome. If you make a "maintained actix-web" fork, most people will still find their way to the dead project. Even worse, many resources and tutorials will point to the old library. A search for "actix" will almost certainly give confusing and frustrating results to the novice.
Theres nothing wrong with it. Calling someone an armchair psychologist is an anti social behavior.
Either you own an equal share - 50/50 - or... you don't.
That's exactly what I was thinking! Blood vessels and capillaries. Cool project.
I disagree here, but only within the confines of the language I used. A maintainer of open source code is willingly submitting their own work to be used for free by others. They have no responsibility to extend it at all, but to maintain it is to do so in the interest of the users... they have a responsibility to do it to the best of their ability, and if not, the maintenance should be given to someone who will.
The DOJ has already begun anti trust investigations into the tech cos. If you think this is something one political party is for and the other against you may be in a filter bubble.

I want to preface my comment with "I agree with you"

However, in this case patches and reproductions were submitted and rejected as "boring". Whether the author really meant to use the word "boring" is neither here nor there, the result was that the fix was ignored, even though that's how open source works!

I've watched from the sidelines with no skin in the game (I use Rocket) and my conclusion from all of this is that the maintainer should have created an actix committee or group of maintainers to help shield from the inevitable bugs and issues that crop up. If the OG author wanted to step back to take a break from all of this, then fine, the rest of the group can continue to churn and work.

The original article that called out the behavior also called out other incredibly popular crates, like reqwests, for their underlying HTTP stack, yet there's not a shitstorm about those libraries. The obvious difference that I can see is the maintainer response to said criticisms.

EDIT: I also want to make clear that I hated the comment about never writing rust again. I'm not condoning that behavior at all
I’m not so certain emotion and logic are so fundamentally separate you know.

Perhaps logic is just our way of explaining our otherwise unexplainable decision making systems.
Oh yeah that's way harder. I'd be OK arguing that we could fling something at Alpha Centauri and have it stop using tech with a very low-risk path from today's state of the art, but even just the 3D printing needed for self-replicating probes (such a printer has to be able to print something exactly as complicated as itself from asteroid material, which is really going to be incredibly hard to do, not to mention energy intensive) is a long, long way off and there's no way I'm going to be able to convince you of the viability of that!
One would prefer to have innovation without killing millions. Electronic calculators are a thing before that. It’s a natural progression, WWII just made it a little bit faster, at the cost of about a hundred million souls.
There's no such thing as "real" minimum wage since the factors that result in having minimum wage must be included (taxes/regulations/cost of living etc). Just as looking at the wages of illegal immigrants doesn't represent the "real" economy, the gig economy, whose companies largely operate under artificial, VC inflated markets, and depend on heterogenous labor markets,can't gage "real" wages.

If you're wondering how low a wage can be and still retain employees, the answer is pretty close to zero. Even baring the no/very low wages that predominated human history, in the 20th century mining companies were able to avoid paying their employees money at all and instead provided tokens serviceable in stores the mining companies owned. The goods in those stores were sold with inflated prices, essential making the cost of labor close to zero.

The case against minimum wage is largely based off of highly isolated factors typically favoring shareholder economics.

We really can't reach any actual conclusion at this point.

We may say today that interstellar travel is impossible, but tomorrow we may find a solution.

We may say today that we are alone, only to be visited by intelligent aliens somewhere in the next millennia.

We may never be visited by anyone or visit anyone, but the universe may be full of intelligent life.

We simply cannot compute anything for such a problem, with so many unknowns.

The problem is that on i386 the TLB entries are keyed only by linear address and not by page table that the entry came from and writing into the page table register (even rewriting the same value) is documented as triggering TLB flush.

On typical RISC platforms that directly expose TLB to supervisor TLB entries usually have few bits that can be used to record for which process is the entry valid and thus there is no need to flush whole TLB on each task switch.

(Modern i386 CPUs actually have somewhat similar mechanism, but it is only usable by hypervisors, not by normal operating systems)
