Rust is maturing. I legit don't think there are too many good reasons to use Go over Rust. You can call Rust from Go but not vice versa.
Think replacing elixir with Rust would ever be a consideration? Rust isn't there yet, but if you are NIF'ing a bunch of stuff, seems like it could make sense at some point?

This looks political but I think it raises a different, more important point about the naïveté people exhibit when it comes to software and complex technology. This was exhibited by the developers of course who promised and/or agreed to a time scale that did I not include any sort of reasonable performance or user testing, but also the faith that the elections folks had that magical technology could simply spring from the ground fully grown like Athena from the head of Zeus.

In addition, whatever you think of the Iowa process, this was in the end a technology failure and unless the tech was deployed to address some other deficiency (which as far as I know it was not — it was just intended to be an optimization), it’s failure should change nothing.

However the failure could be used as a scapegoat. It brings to mind the 2000 election in which a technology failure (of a manual punch) lead to a rushed adoption of a worse approach that had the gloss of magical computerism.
Take a drafting triangle that has 30-60-90 degree corners. Place it between two objects, and squeeze the triangle between them. It'll move to the side faster than the two objects move together.

Or you can just think of it like squirting toothpaste.

The wind pressure on the sail and the water pressure on the keel form the two "objects" being pushed together and the sailboat "squirts" out the side.

Edit: The angle between the sail and the keel is like the angle on the triangle. The keel really was a great invention.
I hate that metric. Most people don’t earn money in their off time. So it’s just an added expense.

Yep I get that, but the artist playing at our charity festival have complaint every time about having to deal with cheques both I (treasurer) and the other finance officer have to sign. Why is it that in the 21st century we can't have a digital online two-signature policy yet have to sign a paper which signatures one easily can forge. That's backwards. We got cryptocurrencies but no way to implement a digital two-signature policy? Odd.

> International law and standards

> 327. In the High Court and the Court of Appeal NIHRC relied on a number of international treaties and judgments, decisions and general statements of treaty bodies. Horner J dealt with these in a section of his judgment entitled “International Law and Obligations”between paras 59 and 71. Again, I find myself in agreement with the judge in his observations and I do not repeat them. The Court of Appeal did not deal with these arguments.

> 328. Although the traditional and orthodox view is that courts do not apply unincorporated international treaties (JH Rayner (Mincing Lane) Ltd v Department of Trade and Industry [1990] 2 AC 418, per Lord Oliver at 499 and R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union[2018] AC 61), as Lord Hughes stated in R (SG) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions(Child Poverty Action Group intervening)[2015] 1 WLR 1449, para 137, such treaties may be relevant in a number of ways. NIHRC relies on the third of these, namely, where the court is applying ECHR via the HRA. As Lord Hughes observed, the ECtHR has accepted that, in appropriate cases, the Convention “should be interpreted ... in the light of generally accepted international law in the same field”. Similar propositions are to be found in Convention jurisprudence, most notably, Demir v Turkey(2008) 48 EHRR 1272, para 69; Neulinger v Switzerland (2010) 54 EHRR31,para 131

EU doesn't supersede sovereignty.

Your points haven't addressed ECHR.
As a consumer, I for one hope the value of the dollar falls (slowly of course).

Housing is grotesquely overpriced. There is no way to reduce the cost of assets like real estate in nominal terms without mountains of pain. Housing can't go down without leaving recent purchasers underwater and triggering a banking crisis. The most orderly way for house prices to be made sane again would be for the value of the dollar to fall until a $500k starter home is "reasonable" in real value terms. Everyone gets a 1.5X-2X raise, a loaf of bread is $10, gas is $12/gallon, and now magically $500k for a starter house/condo is reasonable.

Inflation is an ugly solution to an even uglier set of problems that revolve around the inelasticity of pricing and the blind spots of human psychology. It's almost impossible for the price of assets or wages to fall in an orderly fashion. The resistance is both structural and psychological. Market pricing mechanisms can't work if prices can't move in both directions. Inflation allows prices to fall and debt to be written down in a more silent less painful way. It's a hack to allow prices of all things to move in both directions and thus for market pricing signals to work.

We may not need this hack if we were perfectly rational. A perfectly rational employee would understand if you cut their wages in nominal terms but explained that the value of the currency had increased. A perfectly rational bank would write down the value of underwater home loans to avoid a debt crisis. People do not behave like this. Banks will refuse to write down loan values unless other banks do (game theory), guaranteeing a disorderly debt crisis rather than an orderly haircut. People will always feel like they got a pay cut if number go down regardless of purchasing power.

I pick on real estate, wages, and loans because they are probably the least elastic in terms of nominal price. For those number must always go up (or at least stay the same) or really bad things happen. Other things are still at least somewhat subject to the same forces to varying degrees.
I can say from firsthand experience (albeit a data set of 1) that is happens in the US at the Ph.D level program in a rather well known school with a sculpture of the founder whose shoe is as frequently rubbed for good luck as it is defiled by drunken frat boys.
Agreed, no one in my friend circle cook any more. I learnt it out of necessity - I missed home cooking and then became vegan which made me realise the lack of creativity of the chefs when it comes to vegan food. Now I love cooking just for the sake of it.

> kubernetes is complex and maybe not for all of us

Couldn't disagree more. Kubernetes is extremely easy. I work mostly in frontend, and despise devops. Or used to. Until Kubernetes came along I had no way of easily creating a load-balanced scalable service.

First learn Docker. This is independent of Kubernetes. Docker is awesome in and of itself. In Azure you can deploy web sites as docker images and there are tremendous advantages to that over traditional deployment. Once you have learned Docker you are ready to learn Kubernetes.

If your app consists of multiple microservices then you have more than one docker container. This is where Kubernetes is helpful. Kubernetes has built-in DNS, so your microservices can contact each other using DNS names.

Learn how to deploy containers as Kubernetes ReplicaSets. Then learn how to add a Kubernetes Service on top of it, then learn how to add Ingress. None of this is hard.

Kubernetes is a pleasure to use, because of commands such as "kubectl exec" to log into the container, "kubectl log" to see the log without logging into the container, "kubectl cp" to copy files in and out, "kubectl port-forward" to make a service appear to be running on your devbox and so on.
What do you mean by “global prefix searching” you mean across multiple buckets?

Why bother giving me a file browser if I'm supposedly not supposed to be browsing files?

Welcome to the world of leaky abstractions.
I'm surprised people don't start with the basics on this confusing topic.

The third law of Newton's mechanics tells us that for the plane to get an up force to counteract the gravity, the air must receive and equal amount of down force. Therefore what planes must be doing is deflect air masses down. A plane must be applying a downward force to air masses, with total force value of "mass * g", i.e. supply "mass * g * 1second" worth of downward momentum per second. As simple as that.
>Especially in relation to food, where those who frequently cook almost can't tolerate food cooked by others.

OMG, this was definitely SO true of my grandma when she was alive. She would frequently go gambling and the casino gave her free food and she wouldn't eat it. She'd claim she didn't like it, all of it, couldn't stomach it, not even a bite. So she'd pack a lunch.

It kinda bothered me because as far as I'm concerned if food is free as long as it's not rotten/unsanitary or meat (I'm a vegetarian) and I'm hungry, I'll happily eat it, even if it doesn't taste good.

(The casino's food is/was just fine, btw)
Go is not a general-purpose language. It's a Google language designed to solve Google's problems. If you aren't Google, you probably have different problems, which Go isn't intended to solve.

Nah, it's a narrative that has been built around the use of pellet guns and even live ammunition on civilians who are exercising their right to peaceful protest. Surely a 19-month-old cannot be a "Stone pelter"?

By creating a war-like hysteria in the country, India gets away with doing absurd things: make people believe they are perpetually at war with someone (Pakistan, the muslims, the illegal immigrants, etc) and you can justify bizarre things like firing at civilians, cow terrorism, etc

My doctor tells me the secret to long life includes not eating out too often. Which is short for restaurants tend to cook in ways you wouldn't at home: deep fried food is much more common. They tend to use more salt than I would. Sugar is added to things that don't need it. Cheap oils instead of the better quality ones...
No, because some projects are big enough where they can't be done by a 3 person team. If Google takes 100,000 developer hours to write, it would take a 3 person team 15+ years to create. But you can't take 50 developers working 2,000 hours and get it done in a year. You need something like 100 developers because they are half as efficient when working in that big of a group.
Letting digital twins run the show – Can trucks self-organize logistics?
I've been working on this project for the last year or so, it was super fun to spin off individual applications that represent actual trucks in the field and figure out how to let them plan, divide, and execute transportation tasks without any central management.

A staged DOS is exactly how you perform a back end stress test actually. This is industry standard. It's what testers do every time we want to know when our systems give up and fall over. The key is doing it on a prod like environment before going live.

Your "legitimate traffic" for a finite population of intended users should by definition not be capable of compromising the capacity of your system to operate if you have allocated your resources correctly unless your fundamental implementation is unsound.

Any excess traffic beyond a modest multiple of your expected turnout (I.e. worst case scenario where every citizen of Iowa decides to attend the primary) would by definition be either potential tampering via fuzzing by unintended actors trying to inundate servers to drown out or frustrate your expected userbase,or the most accident/mistake prone gaggle of users ever.

Not saying that happened or that I've seen anything that says it did, I just find your assertion odd that you'd think that a staged DOS in the testing phase against your infrastructure isn't how performance testing works.

A wing is a device that pumps air downward, which in turn pushes the wing upward, by newton's third law. For a large plane, the wing will be pumping many tons of air per second.

Start with a cube of still air, with zero mean velocity. Fly a plane through it, and that cube will have a mean downward velocity.

Thanks for the insights. Personally as a manager I give as much autonomy as I can trust a person. If you ass kick and get shit done the last think I want to do is hinder you.

In terms of honesty and transparency I feel being open and honest to a fault is the best practice. That and also having.my directs feel comfortable challenging me... I make the final decision but its thoes under me who do the work.

Lastly I personally hate "hands on" management roles... all that does is two things:

- have two critical paths... one for managment bullshit plus individual contributor work that are always in conflict

- make me just a god level tech lead as if I am working on a system of course ill.choose tools and processes that fit me best as an IC.

Does anyone know if they hired out of work coal miners to work on the app? After all these are the same people telling everyone to learn to code when their job gets shipped overseas.

That's not what it says. It says the header won't contain PII, which is true. It can be linked to PII, but so can literally every bit of information you send to Google while logged into or otherwise using their services. A disclaimer to this effect would not have any purpose.

I think the parent's point is that if you only consider contractors/staffers who don't have conflicts of interest of this sort, your hiring pool drops to a number that is too small to be useful.

as everybody else in Italy, I had to study the Divine Comedy (which is an incredible work, and I'm glad I had to), and part of doing that is learning multiple interpretations of a single line, variations of people who have read and re-read the work over centuries. It really easily convinces you that, if the art itself can have a given meaning, still many interpretations are bonkers and there might be no hidden meaning at all.

I am sure the same applies, to e.g. William Blake.
Typically a GC runtime will do a collection when you allocate memory, probably when the heap size is 2x the size after the last collection. But this doesn't free memory when the process doesn't allocate memory. The goal is to return unused memory back to the operating system so it's available for other purposes. (You allocate a ton of memory, calculate some result, write the result to a file, and drop references to the memory. When will it be freed?)
Why not C++, if performance was an issue?
It's worth noting that this attack is a property of the Merkle–Damgård hash construction, not of SHA-1 specifically, which means SHA-2 (Git's path forward) is also vulnerable:

https://www.reddit.com/r/crypto/comments/44p5jc/eli5_why_are...

Fossil uses SHA-3, which has an entirely different construction, which is not at this time known to have a similar weakness. SHA-3 is also much newer, with a much shorter list of known attacks.

It is blazing fast in practice. Most merchants accept 0-conf transactions once they propagate p2p. Some merchants already implemented Lightning Network. Together, that means about 2-20 seconds for vast majority of payments.

It is not expensive. Currently fees are in cents per on-chain transaction. And basically 0 for Lightning Network payments.

It is traceable though and that is indeed a big issue going forward. Again, Lightning Network helps to some extent but much more is needed.
China’s draconian response to the new coronavirus, explained by a China expert
That's true - when HFT first became a thing, there were a few studies that compared reaction times between the top traders and the machines and found that expert traders that composed the market making function could make better trades in less time (on the order of fractions of a second) with fewer errors. Of course, that's a distant memory at this point -- the machines have obviously won out on the part of the market's structure but kind of interesting that the humans were quite fast (faster than I would have guessed).
Definitely no argument there. It's not a competition between art and science to see who is more pointless, it's about humanity striving for point-fulness.
