(Speaking personally and not for OCaml Labs who are driving most of the multicore work at the moment)

You can use multicore right now: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/ocaml-multicore though it's currently at an older version of OCaml, 4.06.1.

There's work currently going on to rebase on to OCaml trunk, show-stopping bugs aside there should be a more up to date version of multicore in the next couple of months - then the focus will be on upstreaming.

Hard to give a reasonable timeframe for release because that's going to depend a lot on how things get upstream.
I think that people are looking for Wireguard to be something that it isn't. It's a fancy Ethernet cable, that's all. You can build a lot of neat things on top of Ethernet cables, like full networks. But it's not the cable that builds the network, it's just a low-level tool for facilitating that construction.

If you want to do something like make a point-to-point VPN, then wg-quick is that layer on top. If you want to build a mesh network from endpoints authenticated with a third-party identity provider, you want something like Tailscale. Wireguard is just a low-level building block that handles the crypto in those use cases; making something high-level is left as an exercise to the reader.
Crystal mostly copies ruby, so it's probably not that naive (though actually I don't know how ruby is on windows).
The notion of a 'meme' as originally stated is a contagious idea. Some people have a way of explaining things that sounds like a really good idea until you are by yourself or talking to a neutral third party and you realize you've been duped, intentionally or otherwise.

To stay small you have to fight bureaucracy. Your management has to have the confidence that the small team you have is 'enough' and you don't need a bunch of overhead people to answer some concern.

Take the sales team for instance. A bunch of people you hired to sell things. Some of them are very, very good at selling people things they don't need. You might end up being one of those people.
Unfortunately, there is nothing inbuilt in AWS to mitigate these conditions, except for monitoring for "anamolous" behaviour.

What Union, might I ask?

The main benefits of a union tend to manifest in the collective set of workers actually being able to set up infrastructure for command, control, and communication. Things like retaining legal representation for members, emergency war chests, and collective bargaining.

>I was forced to hand over a part of my paycheck to my union who did absolutely nothing for me when management went hostile without cause.

How do you mean? Did they not get you representation? We're you not afforded any protection? Did your Union rep stone wall, or just figure you were a lost cause?

I'm genuinely curious. I've been trying to find examples of Union failure states to compare with the pre-Taft-Hartley era unions. The statistics are clear that Unions worked for the group's amongst which they gained traction. At least when the tables weren't so tilted that even an outright failure was better than not trying.

>The facts on the ground as I lived them are- unions do nothing for workers. They run campaigns for Democrats. Democrats empower unions. The worker still gets screwed.

How? Gory details please. I'm aware that there is generally some level of "the Union didn't do enough"; but again, without details it's hard to try to posit what one can do/not do in order to get the best out of a collective bargaing unit.

Also, as some historical evidence to prop up your case, back during WWII, I think it was the steelworker's union that ended up giving organized labor a black eye. I think what these folks are asking for is reasonable; and the expectation at large is going to be the firm's need to accomodate
> In fact one of the reasons things are made in China is not just that it’s cheap, but they have a large human workforce that can be adapted to quickly make or assemble all sorts of low complexity items.

This could be a chance to build new business models to help people retrain.
Strikes are a negotiating tactic. It's not independent of the market. It's a part of it. Workers can use their collective power, too. They get a say in their worth and they're exercising it here.

The market isn't whatever corporations tell you that you're worth.

It was the other students who would take your head off, at my school anyway. Given that there were abundant collaboration-allowed spaces, talking on a quiet floor was seen as horribly rude.
Over the years I've had a few conversations with Apple recruiters about job opportunities at Apple. Every time, they've tried to persuade me to move to Cupertino, because Apple doesn't do remote work. I've had to start prefacing the conversations with "I'm not moving to Cupertino. Do you still want to talk?"

I get why Jobs wanted it that way: the value of hallway conversations and the ability to bounce things off other engineers is invaluable, and until recently it was difficult to make that viable with people flung off in different locations. Moreover, it's really difficult to have most of your team in one location and a few scattered people elsewhere: the people elsewhere just aren't part of the loop in the same way, and it makes things really hard for them.

That said, I'd be surprised if Apple continues with a hard-line stance on that after all of this: I think we're seeing that an awful lot of work that people insisted had to be local can indeed be done effectively from remote.

EDIT: Having read the thread on this one, I apologize for my over-generalization based on anecdote. I work for a company that pushes the ability to remote-work, and the folks I've talked with about working at Apple were all very "yeah, they don't do work-from-home". However, the plural of anecdote is not data. :)

> Maybe the media will take care to spin this as a "failure of capitalism" somehow, but as far as the truth is concerned, it doesn't strike me as favoring more government.

The Fed is predicting 47 million unemployed [1], at a 32% unemployment rate. That's a lot of folks without health insurance. 68k people in the US die every year because of lack of access to healthcare, and 50% of bankruptcies are due to medical debt, under "normal" circumstances. That is a "failure of capitalism" not replicated in other developed countries.

It's not normal to do screen capture, but internet logging and email/chat discovery are almost universal in a large company. Most financial companies will have forensic agents and inspect random emails.

Also, security tools are getting more sophisticated. As legacy AV gets replaced by next-gen stuff, there will be more creepy shit. If you have a tool like Crowdstrike, most developers will do stuff will get them flagged as high-risk.

As a meetup organizer, this is a huge relief honestly. Meetup joining Wework was one of the most concerning things since you know how Wework was lavish in everything.

One good feature though was to book space directly through meetup which was quite handy since as a programming language local group organizer every month I've to look for some free space provider. Hopefully meetup.com can bring that side to this service!

Other theories have been that the original recipe has only three ingredients, but Nabisco quashed that, and that it's named for triticum since it's a wheat snack.
I got to witness it first hand in a fairly large financial organization. It is first come, first served - i.e. early birds get nicer window seats and if you come late there is a chance you actually won't have a desk. If someone was eating at their desk yesterday you may get grimy, smelly keyboard and spots on the screen from them showing something on the monitor with dirty hands.

After a while you get to know that this spot - letter "E" and "Backspace" doesn't work, that spot - mouse right click doesn't work, third spot - second monitor flashes every 10min...

And then there is this constant "I don't belong here" feeling. Sure it is more "efficient" from the space and hardware utilization perspective. For call centers - I don't mind the setup, but good luck to you if you are planning to build software in such environment.
Absolutely, agree with the other points. But the one I specifically disagreed with was paying all of the at-risk employees. These are people who cannot and should not be making deliveries. And I don't think Amazon should be paying their wages for potentially 18 months. As an Amazon customer, you would essentially be paying to fund a completely privatized unemployment program.

"Anyone who, under a special legal order, in public, utters or spreads statements known to be false or statements distorting true facts shall be punishable by imprisonment between 1 to 5 years if done in a manner capable of hindering or derailing the effectiveness of the response effort."

Given that any opposing political speech could be viewed in this manner, it’s a frightening expansion of power.

> Did Yang run on health care reform?

Marginally. His plan was basically the same as Buttigieg's: Medicare for all who want it.

Of course, they never talked about how that would actually reduce your choices as employers opted to stop covering health insurance and you were stuck with the smaller Medicare provider pool.

One of the big structural advantages of the real Medicare for All plan is that it would eliminate "networks" all providers would be required to accept the M4A single-payer.

You’re getting downvoted, but this is absolutely correct. There is no reason at all you would expect the pay of low-skilled workers to increase during a period of increasing unemployment. For every union member that refuses to work without increased benefits, there’ll be a queue of newly unemployed people willing to work for less. The unions have no sway over the supply of labor here, the only thing they can exploit is the threat to temporarily disrupt service during a crisis. Something which won’t go over well with all the country’s unemployed, and everybody who’s going to have to pay the increased prices.
The Rust async/await amounts to the following:

* Magic keywords (i.e., async and await) to manage the state machine aspect of the function for you.

* A standard interface for describing an asynchronous task (core::future::Future). The magic keywords create an implementation of this interface.

* An interface for saying that task progress can be made (core::task::Waker).

That's it. There is no runtime provided, not even optionally, in the standard library (let alone core). A fair amount of this post is giving instructions for how to build the runtime to execute asynchronous tasks.

One important thing to note is that Rust uses a polling-based approach to implement tasks. That is, the core interface to a task is to run it and have it return the result or indicate that is waiting on something else. In the case of the latter, there is a callback mechanism (the Waker object) that the task is responsible for calling when it has more information to make progress--and the caller is responsible for calling the task again when that happens. Many (most?) other implementations instead use a resolution model, where the caller provides a function that is called with the result, and when the function gets called (particularly in the case of tasks that can execute quickly) differs from implementation to implementation. Rust's model definitely maps much more easily to a kernel, since the dominant pattern will be to drain a buffer, poke a device, and then wait for an interrupt to happen (the interrupt handler calling the wake function).

See, that's the issue. The federalist project is not only doomed, but foolish. It never had a chance. You cannot compare the US, a country that grew out of a founding nucleus and produced the states that compose it as it expanded with an attempt to fuse together almost 30 nation states speaking a number of different languages, affected by different geopolitical pressures and concerns, with their own histories, etc, etc, into some federal entity where magically a Frenchman will view the good of a Croatian with equal priority. It won't happen and it's unnatural. You can't strap reality into some preconceived Procrustean bed and torture it into assuming the shape you want it to assume (the new Soviet man anyone?). Not only is it psychopathic in intent, but it won't work. When the seas are calm, we might be able to blandly pretend that we're a happy family, but every crisis in the EU merely shatters those pretensions of the true believers. The 2008 financial crisis, the migrant crisis, the Greek debt crisis, the energy solidarity debacles, etc, etc, etc, and now the coronavirus and soon the resulting economic recession. Each blow will demonstrate the farce that the federal project is.

It is much more sane to begin with the truth and to respect it. Only then, in light of the facts, can we begin to speak of the possibility of a workable cooperation between nations instead of trying to will arbitrary things into existence in some quixotic and destructive endeavor. All it does is conceal the injustices that occur under the veneer of "unity".
A lot of meetups are held in WeWork spaces. I also presume the idea was to rent space from inside of Meetup, as finding meeting space is one of the more annoying parts of running a Meetup (I've run 2 language user groups).

Couple things - they're surfaced in the straight near Brest not because of the reactor, but because it's too shallow to operate. For example, US East-coast submarines have to transit for hours on the surface to get to the dive point because of the continental shelf. On the US West coast (Hawaii, San Diego), they can pretty much dive shortly after leaving port.

More people than the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer would know their position, though. Whoever is the French equivalent of Officer of the Deck and the on-duty navigator would need to know their position. But yeah, there are times/situations where the position of the boat is MUCH more closely held - and that may be all the time on French ballistic missile submarines.
> like wayland to address X security issues

The post does mention X's security issues. We are discussing switching to wayland but XFCE doesn't support it yet.

If we don't switch to wayland, I might add X sandboxing via a nested X server such as Xpra to sandbox-app-launcher. It's already on the TODO list.

> flatpak for sandoxing

Flatpak is not a good sandbox. It fully trusts the applications and the permissions are far too vague to be meaningful. For example, many applications come with "filesystem=home" which means read-write access to the entire home directory so to escape, they just need to write to .bashrc.

We're using sandbox-app-launcher instead.

Partially due to WTO restrictions and feigned ignorance. You're right that it's non-trivial to properly assess the P&L of outsourced labor especially when most of the externalities (ex. emissions spreading across East Asia, population health) are not immediately identifiable. Globalization ignores these externalities in favor of short term profit. To put a price tag on such effects would be to acknowledge them, which nobody will do.

>It seems archaic to bundle health insurance to my workplace. I can purchase auto, home, life, and whatever other insurance on my own, why not health?

Because if you get it through your work, you don't have to pay tax on it. Also, getting it through work also decreases the risk of adverse section on the part of the insurer, making it cheaper.
