> If a significant number of people start moving retirement money out of index funds

If a significant number of people start moving money out of index funds, causing a decrease in the price of index funds, then that is just an opportunity for profit-making from other investors, which will stabilize the price.

I have personal opinions of my in-laws having the right to vote. I didn’t anywhere make a claim about taking away the voting rights of the larger population.

The real world implication of my post is that people who live in very sparse rural areas have the ability to influence elections where their vote matters more than mine. I think in today’s polarized environment, this is becoming very dangerous.

Heavens. Stopped there.
As someone who built a career in C++ I like that Rust's generics are a poor approximation of templates(and that includes having worked with some of the modern C++ features). I have months of my life I've lost to the increased compile times from Boost on the applications I've worked on.

C++ also makes it way too easy to reach for shared_ptr instead of unique_ptr leading to all sorts of unfortunate things. Rust makes that much harder and RefCell/Rc/Arc push towards design that are "single owner" which I've found scale out much better once you move into programs that are of a significant complexity.

C++ still wins in portability on some platforms but I have a hard time picking it for anything greenfield at this point.
>With Kafka, such a stream may record the history of your business for hundreds of years

Do not do this. Kafka is not a database! Kafka should never be the source of truth for your business. The source of truth should be in whatever consumes data from Kafka downstream when messages are committed as read. Why? Because in your middle layer you can do all the data normalization, sanity checking, processing, and interaction with a REAL database system downstream that can give you things like transactions, ACID, etc.

Of course Confluent wants you to try to use Kafka as a DB, so your usage of it is very high and you pay for the top support package and they have you by the cajones, but that doesn't mean you should do that. You will miss out on all the benefits of using a real database, with what benefit? Having a simple client API?

I once wrote up something that interested me at the moment and figured I'll post it on medium so people get to actually read it.

To my surprise, medium doesn't let you publish (write yes, not publish) anything, unless you jump through several obscure loops like "engaging with the platform for a while".

My article wasn't particularly important, so I am not too heartbroken about it. But what this tells me is that there seems to be a lot of demand for publishing posts of different nature.
Unfortunately blogs are missing a strong feedback loop. If RSS was the notification mechanism, then what was it that closed the loop so the blogger got great info on what was being read, liked, disliked? Chen gets this right here:
https://andrewchen.co/the-death-of-rss-in-a-single-graph/

The internet is full of people with incredible ideas, many of which are writing them down, but the problem is discovery. How to connect them. If you can unify blogs with a feedback mechanism, with the immediacy of social media then that would be progress.

Unfortunately most mechanisms for discovery are hopelessly low SnR or totally contaminated with advertising or articles gaming some search algorithm. Funnily enough I write a little about it here within the context of one platform which could have been good, but wasn’t.

No, I was just calling out the "you know, the outcomes just aren't that bad here". As I ended on, I think they'll come to the conclusion relatively quickly that there is minimal risk to the public from having such diagnoses, even if they're misinterpreted.
That is not a new problem. To some extent it already happens with debug and release builds, with running on a VM vs a real host, running on a different distribution than the one you developed in, etc. If the performance gains are significant in some domains that would be more than enough to pay for the extra pain.

> This notion of “stream-table duality” might be the most misleading, damaging idea floating around in software engineering today.

No. The notion of a "stream-table duality" is a powerful concept, that I've found can change the way any engineer thinks about how they are storing / retrieving data for the better (it's an old idea, rooted in Domain Driven Design, but for some reason a lot of engineers, myself included, still need to learn, or relearn, it).

The notion that relying on a stream as the primary data persistence abstraction or mechanism in a production is the misleading part, at least for now. I'd argue Kafka pushes us in a direction that makes progress along that dimension, and you can apply it successfully with a lot of effort. But to match what you can get from a more traditional DBMS? The tech just isn't there (yet).

I want to try libp2p, but the docs were completely unusable for me. Example: https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-kad-dht/blob/master/READ...

Whereas similar projects (built by volunteers) have usage examples and instructions on how to get started: https://github.com/hyperswarm/hyperswarm/blob/master/README....

libp2p seems to have much better specifications, although I think (?) it's tightly coupled with IPFS and Protocol Labs. Projects like Hyperswarm seem to have much better 'getting started' instructions, but no protocol specifications (yet!).

For what it's worth, I (software engineer, 49) got a better job when I was 47. I got a job that I thought would be better at 46, too. But it turned out I was wrong, so I tried again.

My take, based only on my own experience, so grain of salt and all that: I think a business's status as a "startup," "enterprise," etc. makes a poor proxy for what it's like to work there. The correlation isn't zero, but there are a lot of factors. It's not simple. At any rate, it's really hard to know what working for a company will be like from the outside. It's good to have your shopping list of nice-to-haves, and it's good to ask lots of questions and try to suss a company out. But be flexible.

I've had the best experience finding work through former co-workers, people I'd like to work with again. There's a better chance of getting hired, you will have some inside knowledge of the company (good and bad) from the beginning, and you know there's at least one other person there who cares.

I'd recommend starting your job hunt immediately. Put out feelers with people you know. Look at job descriptions. Send out resumes. Work on any skills that need learning or refreshing. (But don't let perfect be the enemy of the good w/r/t skills.) Worst case: you're already having some conversations with potential employers when the axe falls. Best case: you've got a fresh job with a better salary before the axe falls -- maybe, by leaving, you even save someone else's job.

Good luck!
What every engineer should know about Kafka is that it should not be used for anything critical like you would use Cassandra or Hbase.

But if you are ok with partitions not being available for many hours or losing all written data because the cluster did not automatically move parution to 3 new replica after 2 of the replica failed ... then it’s a good scalable(speed) product.

There is also no serious multi tenant support. So if you need multitenancy you gotta use kubernete and do one cluster per tenant and automate that yourself.
A quibble I have with the term "stream-table duality" is that it's not true duality.

You can construct a state (table) from a stream, but you cannot do the reverse. You cannot deconstruct a table into its original stream because the WAL / CDC information is lost -- you can only create a new stream from the table. This means you lose all ability to retrieve previous states by replaying the stream. Information is lost.

Duality in math is an overloaded term but it generally means you can go in either direction. This is not true here.
People are typically more afraid of dying than getting sick. For many, it's more difficult to justify a global depression which runs the risk of reaping more destruction than the virus itself based on a bunch of people getting sick, compared to a bunch of people dying.
To expand on my other post, since I can't edit it any longer, the fact that it's many of the largest countries with the most cases is a point of note - the first wave wasn't the largest countries so if that's where we're headed, things are changing.
You want a function that accepts a pointer when you want to modify an outside value within a function without returning the value. In that case, the func accepts a pointer (like in `func(p int)`) and you pass it either a pointer (a var declared as an {some_type}) or the address of a variable (with &variable).

Exactly. Why would you buy into a language that is controlled by apple?

Apple's behavior with open source is kind of "throw it over the wall" which isn't really good leadership.

The good stuff at apple is frameworks and apps, none of it released.

For examples of this, look at Darwin on https://opensource.apple.com

They provide some sources, but they are not complete and are more to look at than to use.

I figure this got through the approval process because it could plausibly get developers to pay attention to apple without letting others exit the apple ecosystem.

Sure, the signal to noise ratio isn’t always perfect either, but there’s still a continuing flow of golden nuggets of deeper industry information, helpful howto answers, and thoughtful commentary and feedback around music software.

In some ways it’s a little like HN, but in some ways I find it superior, like baked in notifications and being able to mute those that are too annoying. It probably helps that it’s adjunct to arguably the best music software directory, with imperfect, yet useful taxonomy, and old school advertising that’s highly relevant to the community.

You're exaggerating for effect, I assume. Rust compile does not require that much RAM.

Now, by default the "cargo" build uses all CPU threads, so if you have a 32 core Threadripper then yes, running 64 simultaneous "rustc" compiles will use 6 or 7 gigabytes.

If there is short term immunity yes (diphteria, tetanos is an example, polio too).

Being exposed to the same antigen while you have an immunity should reactivate this immunity, that's a reason why a "herd immunity" tactic could work, at least for a time

However if the natural immunity w/o reactivation only last a year or less, you will end up with a new outbreak at the end of the period. And if the immunity period is shorter than the recuperation one, you will have a virus that will be a lot more lethal.
