Nonsense. Russian(Ex-USSR), China are more extreme in central planning and inward focus than India will ever be.

The real problem is insatiable desire among Indians for Managerial/Administrative jobs. Or Govt bribe income potential jobs(Again in Administration). Most people want to be in abstract boss level administrative/managerial jobs because they think they can just give orders and make 10x more money than people who do 10x work to make things happen and make 0.1x money.

Indians do well in administration/management because it's the most aspirational job here. Lastly India is a country of shopkeepers and resellers. We are NOT an engineering or industrialization intensive country.

There is a fundamental cultural problem and that is unlikely to be solved soon given the misaligned incentives.
In 2018, China had 600k flu cases and 153 deaths. So the new virus has caused 10 times more deaths in this Jan. Is it serve?

This is the one place where Rust differs from many other languages: Dependencies and libraries are typically brought in a source-dependencies and built with your own code.

This typically makes the first build of any project considerably slower than for other languages, since you have to also build all your dependencies, but I think it allows for a really simple and predictable way to work, not to mention support any kind of architecture, across all packages.

It's obviously a trade-off, but I think it's a trade-off which is clearly worth it.
The socially normalized buried nose produces an interesting effect when passing by someone in a hallway or sidewalk - the deferred acknowledgement:

I rarely have my device out while walking in order to indicate that I am receptive to an approach. When I see an incoming buried nose, I assume they are too busy and keep my gaze past them as they are clearly not going to be available for a nod or pleasantry exchange.

The thing is, after the acknowledgement window has passed and we are closing proximity, I perephrially see them look up at me at the very last second before passing.

Not sure if it's just me misinterpreting social circumstances, or if there's a new standard of interaction that I need to figure out.

I don't think I mind this change. I mostly use my own mail servers, but when I setup a Discourse forum a couple months ago, it was so easy to turn it on with Mailgun that I gave it a try (the forum was migrated from an existing forum that sends about 9,000 email notifications per month, so I was going to be pushing the limit a little bit on the free tier right away). I definitely wasn't, and am not, willing to pay $35 a month for sending email for a forum I'm paying $20/month to host, and for a service I could setup in an afternoon on a $5/month VM, but if they want to charge me $8/month to send 10,0000 messages, I'm absolutely fine with that...the API, bounce processing, reporting, etc. are definitely worth a few bucks.

Mailgun was the obvious choice when I set it up, since it would be completely free for the volume I send, and I'll probably stick with it for that forum that's already using it, but now maybe I'll look around at the other options again for my next project.

> Very useful for dating

Really? By far the most useful thing for dating seems to be the ability to be in the moment while conversing and being able to feel the flow of feelings and emotions - that's what makes a good interpersonal intimate conversation good and speeds up any dating goals one might have... Overthinking stuff, or even thinking a lot in general (while conversing) - does not.
I definitely am capable of thinking non-verbally, and I agree it can help with programming. But I just can't wrap my head around not having an internal monologue at all. How did you even write this comment? What was the process that led you to put together this particular series of words, if not 'hearing' them in your own mind as an expression of your thoughts first?

Edit: Thinking on this more, I may not have had an internal monologue when I was younger. I recall when I was maybe 11 or 12, I had a sudden, distinct moment of increased self-awareness, after which my internal monologue became my predominant mode of thinking. My first thought was that all of my mental activity up till that time had been in a fog, and that I really hadn't even been a fully conscious being. I crossed some kind of cognitive rubicon which my previous self couldn't even understand. I assumed this was a normal phase of mental development at the time, but now I'm curious if others have had similar experiences.

Standard raised prices to its monopolistic customers but lowered them to hurt competitors, often disguising its illegal actions by using bogus supposedly independent companies it controlled [1].

The evidence is, in fact, absolutely conclusive that the Standard Oil Co. charges altogether excessive prices where it meets no competition, and particularly where there is little likelihood of competitors entering the field, and that, on the other hand, where competition is active, it frequently cuts prices to a point which leaves even the Standard little or no profit, and which more often leaves no profit to the competitor, whose costs are ordinarily somewhat higher [2].

Dollar per kg to orbit of the Space Shuttle was pretty respectable - if you count the mass of the orbiter as part of the payload. If you don't, it's absolutely ruinous. (~$5,000/kg with orbiter, $20,000/kg for what it could carry in the payload bay, 2020ish dollars - yes the orbiter outweighed its payload 3:1)

Look, the Saturn 1B - the man-rated, 20,000kg-class, safe predecessor to the Saturn 5 - cost ~$330m 2020 dollars per launch. The Space Shuttle could carry 24,000kg to orbit at a marginal cost per launch of somewhere between 500 and 700 million dollars. (This ignores all the costs attributed to the Space Shuttle program that were incurred even if a launch never occurred)

The Saturn V, of course, could put 140,000kg into LEO for ~1,250 million 2020 dollars.

So for half the price of a shuttle launch, you can put the 80% the mass into orbit on a Saturn 1B. Or for double the price of a shuttle launch, you can put 5.8 times as much mass into orbit on a Saturn V. Or double the shuttle's orbital payload mass - but on a trans-lunar injection trajectory instead.

And this is all comparing the shuttle to the technology of a decade and a half earlier.

Yes, a Shuttle Two - get rid of the reinforced carbon-carbon (hell, maybe even move to an ablative heatshield), ditch the SRBs, ditch the wings, lose the cross-range capability and maybe even move the fuel tank internal - might have been viable. But the closest thing to that (the X-33 program/VentureStar) never got the funding it needed, and even then might have been a bit too ambitious. Time will tell if an affordable SSTO ends up ever happening, but I'd bet on things like SpaceX's Falcon SuperHeavy/Starship (fully reusable TSTO craft) being the real successes.

Not entirely true. Moving from std::vector is required to not invalidate iterators and references when moved from. This is why strings can be small buffer optimized and vectors can't be.
Your disconnection example doesn't imply parallel consciousness to me, it implies extreme flexibility of a general intelligence processor in our heads. This theory seems to be field proven with many example of people suffering massive head trauma yet their brain was able to continue functioning.
This is definitely not true, at least most people don't experience it this way once they learn meditation/mindfulness/etc.

What happens instead is that if you are in the moment, you can much more easily see and feel which things actually exist in the current moment for you to consider, and to actually react to those surroundings that actually matter, instead of those that have been served up by the internal dialog which is based usually on worries, fears, ego beliefs etc.
Living in the moment does not make you live like an animal. It makes you appreciate and focus on that which truly matters for you, instead of distractions that a constantly thiking mind always throws at you and makes you feel like everything is says matters and is very important.

Those things that are truly worth considering, already exist in the moment. If you have a real need or want to do something today - it will be in the moment and it will present itself. It is a total nonsense that a person "living in the moment" can never complete any complicated task, accomplish a complicated goal or plan for the future when that is required. - And that is being a good person, not simply "feeling like one".

We have highly variable prices here in the US. It's all about demand. During periods of peak demand, energy prices spike, and providers bring more costly dirty plants online as a stopgap. This has bad environmental effects, and is expensive in money terms as well. Batteries offer a compelling solution to such problems even outside of places like Australia.

The way I look at it a microservices architecture is going to be the equivalent of a monolith with a number of unreliable network connections, being held together at the devops layer. You are pushing complexity from the application layer to the devops layer. Personally I don't see that as an advantage in itself.
Because there's a big trend towards overengineering. I checked the Azure search solution, and my god it's complex. I ended up doing it in sqlite, and it perfect for a small fts document search engine. The article is similar: try to keep it simple; there are barely any cases where you'll use the real benefits of something lkke Azure search.
Definitely didn't expect to find this way of thinking on HN. Putting people into buckets of what they're good or bad at because of what their ancestors did. You're just perpetuating the numerous issues the caste system has, spewing this shit.

How hard is it to start working on a compiler like this?
It sounds your argument is based on claims of hypothetical second order systems effects. I think that systems thinking is important - but makes it very hard to discuss further if the other party (me) is not deeply familiar with the domain (german economic life and people) which I'm not.

I.e. 'actively harmfull' -> but just dropping state investment won't magically teach peoples how to do business in a customer oriented way. So you need some second order effects to kick in (i.e. people would then focus on market needs more etc).

I can't really comment on that. I don't know the german psyche enough to postulate on the second order effects.

Most of german industry has been grown historically in a corporative manner, so I'm a bit skeptical you could drive US style individual entrepreunship in just by dropping this or that government program.
Yet public housing is a terrible failure in essentially every city with housing cost issues in the US.

Here's [1] a paper on information density vs speed of speech, done by the University of Lyon. I am not sure how accurate their methods are, but they seem to believe that some languages convey more information per syllable and for 5 out of 7 languages, that ones with lower information density are spoken faster. Note that the sample size was only 59 and only compared how fast 20 different texts were read out, all silences that lasted longer than 150 ms were edited out as well.

You can do that with this. Because it does technically contain a nested function called _ it's just GCC usually makes that function a normal function if it contains no variables from the parent's scope.

If you reference the outer scope inwards, however, you will end up with an executable stack. And you won't have a borrow checker to tell you the the value that the lambda mentions is no longer at the same address. In fact, you have no flags to warn you of that event.

C++ has lambdas. GNU-C has a hack that is truly terrifying to behold if you use it to the full power.

I personally quite like the "double monolith", one for the website and one for the api, but I think there are some really large deployments like AWS for instance, where using microservices makes a lot of sense, but it's tricky to pull off operationally because as the organisation changes shape, the code base needs to drastically change too, and probably a lot of teams just can't keep up, monoliths are more rigid but they don't crumble as easily.
Yeah, I don't know why Prelude.head doesn't return a Maybe. Anyway, the point stands.

• In Java forgetting to check for null will crash your program.

• In C, forgetting to check for NULL will lead to undefined behavior.

• In Haskell, you either have to (a) check for Nothing, or (b) explicitly say "crash the program if this is Nothing" by using a function like fromJust or head, which internally does (a). This is always an improvement over C, and often an improvement over Java.

Side note: I like Rust's convention of consistently naming these might-crash-your-program methods "unwrap" and "expect".

The CRISPR debacle is a funny story because on one side you have a public institution and on the other side you have a private institution.

However, both in reality are publicly funded whether that be through government grants or tax breaks on endowments. I think we should do a trade: an institution that in someway benefits from the public should get credit for the discovery but patent goes back to the public.

Edit: I realize there’s a chance that whatever I just said, there’s a small European country that already has implemented this idea.

At least language is a huge help. For me crucial insights won't come readily formed in words, they come as abstract occurrences that need to be converted to words. Some of insight is lost in this conversion, I think, because the mind has to switch over to linguistic mode and serialize the memory content. Still, when putting ideas to words it also makes them more clear and distilled. As they say, you don't really understand the phenomenon unless you can explain it clearly.

That's one of the biggest problems with rust. In many cases, the dependency graph is such that not a lot of crates can be compiled at the same time. Compound with the fact that building some crates can takes minutes, and overall build times can be terrible.

Just look at the CPU usage on a >= 16 cores machine while building the rust compiler itself. The only time all cores are used, essentially, is while building LLVM.
I do think in both and I feel there are multiple good answers to your question, but one that I find especially interesting is that while I do use words, they don't always mean what they mean in the general language.

So for exapmle when I use them to speak to someone, I usually use them in the common way. I transcribe my thoughts into words only in those ways in which those words are exactly used by other carriers of that language.

However, when I dream or reason about some new or abstract concept, I do still some of the words as anchors to hold on to specific parts of that concept, but I am not too strict about using the words that mean(in the common sense) - those exact parts of the concept. I just find the word that somewhat closely resembles something in that concept and use it. But it is just used as an anchor, to let my mind navigate around that concept. Many times, if I was to try to explain this concept to someone else using those exact same words - they wouldn't understand it, because they would be missing the very specific connections that my mind made just for this concept, for this thinking session. And those change all the time.

If the concept proves itself useful, I will just translate it into regular English (or other language) and write or remember etc. But it happens much later, not during the conception and reasoning stages.

> Are you afraid that thinking in language categories prevents you from accessing deeper truths?

I am not afraid of that and I don't think that it does so necessarily. Because if you use words simply as anchors, you can basically anchor them to any imaginable (as deep as you wish) information or concept or part of the internal world, you are basically not limited by the language. You are just using words as pointers, with arbitrary precision and pointing capability. If I am not limited by the implied requirement for those words to be used in the same way by other people (which I am not during this early stage of thought) - then words can basically be infinitely flexible.

Now I don't usually just use random words either, I automatically finds ones that sort of fit approximately, but this non-strict usage just allows to bend the boundaries and achieve great flexibility.

I do sometimes think without words though, when that just seems more efficient.
