Let's put a number on the complaint-review-hours with the current stats.

A human can do X cases/hour, but if you have more cases than humans can handle your backlog will start to grow steadily. At this point you either hire more people or start to automate things, after all you don't want a city of people moderating stuff.

So what's your target number and what do you guess the actual number is?

I wish I had been given this advice many years ago, but I got some negativity that trigger a cascade of depression ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=226480 ). I was very young, and I didn't ask for feedback. It was not great waking up to a HN post. In a way, I was not prepared to accept honest criticism for something that I was building.

Granted, it was a bad idea to build a non-tech business on a new programming language in a region which could not hire people to fix the language, so it was the right call to give into the depression and move away from my language. However, it probably took me a decade to try again recently.

When I reflect on history and how things could have unfolded, I realize I was onto something and I was at the wrong place to exploit my ideas. As an example, if I had persisted, then my language could have been what Hack & HHVM is today. However, I was in the mid-west operating on my own.

This time, I'm swinging hard with my new language, and I hope to redefine a portion of the computing landscape. Or, at least, improve it within my myopic universe. I haven't published much, but I have a novel language at the moment which is enabling me to do things that are hard to imagine.

I love using Go for CLIs. Previously, I developed CLIs with JavaScript (NodeGH, something with the same goal as GitHub's CLI), and "kind of" with PHP as well (for internal tasks on a server). Nothing compares with writing one with Go, though.

I used to be the maintainer of a CLI for a PaaS until a year ago:

The only real downside of using MSVC is the mind boggling amount of storage it hogs with libraries you'll never ever use not even once if your goal is to just build simple C++ programs. MinGW might be the only viable approach if you are storage constrained (LLVM/Clang also supports MinGW of course)
Is there a patch somewhere that turns the nag off permanently? I'm definitely not updating several of my machines to Catalina in the next years, and the nag is just an useless distraction.
If you can’t do the thing, you usually can break it up into smaller constituent things. Keeping with the pull-ups. My wife can’t even do 1 pull-up, but she’s broken it down into a couple of foundational movements and she’s doing them, and getting stronger every day. Doing reverse pull ups, and miniature flexes at the base of the pull up motion, and a couple of others.

She’s probably got another 4-6 months until she can do the full pull up, but it’s coming.
How about applying to non tech industry companies... most big companies have software engineers. Ive worked in shipping/logistics/warehousing, consumer goods/manufacturing and legal all of which, in large companies, had older software engineers. (These roles werent in SV - europe and apac)
Oh come on, MySpace was an absolute disaster from a speed and usability point of view. It was obvious anyone could have done better than MySpace.

At the time I was using mixi.jp which was "MySpace done right" and was hugely engaging. (It's quite possible that Mixi might have become Facebook had they not committed commercial suicide later with some very stupid decisions. The only social network I know that deliberately tried to limit their userbase.)
One can work from the couch or living room table in a pinch, but if you need privacy, or the contract mandates a certain level of confidentiality (like other people not being able to see the screen, or having to lock paperwork away) you will want to invest in a separate room for work.

Also, at least in Germany, not sure about Switzerland, you can only write off the rent, taxes-wise, for a separate office room with a door. You can't write off a desk in a room used for other purposes or a space in a hallway.

Not to mention if you have roommates or a spouse and kids.

What are recommended rust crates for building a WebSocket game server?
I am learning rust (having SOLID C# .NET background) and would like to try building a game server for a useless non-monetizable collaborative game with javascript clients based on websockets. I expect this use-case will force me to learn important things from the rust stack (and the language itself) along the way.

I would like to know which crates to start with to fulfill the above requirements. Is there a single "silver bullet" combo or are there more options to consider?

Thanks for all your inputs.
Do you have a reference for the claim about Plato and Aristotle? As far as I know, 2 being the first number was a fact of ordinary Greek.
> Even I thought Disney plus might be the beginning of the end for Netflix, that it finally met a Goliath it couldn't best, but now even that isnt obvious anymore.

I think Disney painted themselves in a corner buying every studio and putting it under the Disney banner.

Disney have long stood for family values programming which is never edgy or pushes the envelope.

That was the reason behind Touchstone and the purchase of Miramax (and prob a few other Disney owned subsidiaries I've forgotten) to push out adult centric content and keep it separate from the Disney = family-friendly marquee.

The Disney brand today is this monolithic umbrella brand and with all their streaming content going under the Disney+ channel it's going to be hard for people to cognitiviely disassociate the brand from the content.

For example who's going to think I fancy watching Pulp Fiction tonight, let me see if it's on Disney+....
The child is probably playing a different game than the ancestor who acquired the wealth in the first place.

The game the (alleged) idiot is playing is "don't lose the family fortune". If you weren't born wealthy but want to be, you are playing the "make more than you spend" game in one of its variations. There is for example an obvious slow way that might give your children a better shot at the "don't lose the family fortune" game and there are also many also many higher variability games like the "lottery" and "startup" games.

Not every game requires the same skills and personality type.
> but I don't think it's the kind of thing that should (or even could) be taught to teenagers.

Disagree with you here. I think even elementary kids should be taught git and if done right, they'd be able to pick it up quickly.

I think books/manuals/references are the wrong way to teach git though. They should be shown how git works and shown what git is. Text material should be supplementary.

There are youtube videos that walks you through setting up repos, cloning, adding to staging, committing, pulling/pushing, etc. Also, youtube videos that explain the internal structure of git and its objects.

Being shown what a repo, head, master/branches, cloning, etc are and having these ideas explained is far better than being given a sheet of paper with a list of commands/instructions to clone, push/pull, commit, etc. Which sadly is what a lot of incompetent and lazy teachers do.
This reminds me how I loved reading old blogs of Turbo Pascal+inline assembly hackers. Shaped a lot of my outlooks on technology.

yeah, I also give out ULAs to my clients in VPNs (both OpenVPN and WireGuard), but it's mostly for local, in LAN traffic. I still haven't figured out how to convince Windows to actually prefer ULAs to IPv4 like I can do on Linux.
> Generally, happiness is a reward from doing what your genes want you to do.

I disagree. Generally happiness comes from being happy/content/thankful for what you have (as opposed to "having a lot"). You can be happy having no children, no fortune, no fame, etc. Conversely all of these do not guarantee happiness - Robin Williams committed suicide despite having them all, I think it's fair to assume he was not happy.
you do not need the vtable to be inside the object itself. For example c++ std::function act similarly to an rust impl trait. But the lack of static reflection (or equivalent builtin functionality [1]) means you have to build a dedicated class for each C++ concept (the equivalent of rust trait), although libraries can help.

[1] the currently non existing equivalent in C++ has been sometimes refererred as virtual concept. Once upon a time, in the 2.x era, g++ had an extension known as 'signature' which would do exactly that.
I think it's mostly just that intelligence is not terribly important for success. Tenacity, street smart, charisma, connections, passion are all more important than IQ.
I'm not sure we're disagreeing. My point was that you need something separate from the language to deal with certain language compatibility issues.
To be honest, I haven't really explored this yet, it's just that DHT feels like the most sensible approach. It's a rather ambitious project and I'm currently making the core functionality work (and interoperate with Mastodon where applicable). I'll probably do a Show HN post at some point.
In the end it's not about the money. As you said, there are lottery winners who lose everything in a few years, and there are people who build a new fortune after losing everything.

That doesn't mean that being born into a privileged life doesn't have advantages, but it's about way more than just the money. It's also the connections you have. The best example right now is Trump, who is a complete and utter failure as a businessman yet people keep throwing money at him.
If you look at figure 2a, it looks like they are dropping successively more concentrated samples of SARS-CoV-2 onto the sensor and getting immediate spikes in the response.

But it's not clear whether or not this technology could be developed into something that can be used at home or in the field. That is the real challenge you need to overcome in order to make a test with a quick response. Packaging a sample, sending it to a lab, getting a technician to put the sample through the test, recording the result and communicating it back to the patient - that is what takes time not the actual performance of the test itself.

As much as I like Go I don't think it's ideal for CLI apps.

IMO Python is the best at creating simple to complex CLI apps due to it being interpreted and simple. It's an overcharged bash.
I haven't looked at the C++ reflection proposal in a bit, but I think that attributes are reflected so you should be able to use your own attributes to mark non serializable objects

Not knowing your environment, trying to find other doctors could help.

A lot of practicians have surprisingly little knowledge or very old views on depression. Some will very strongly argue against medication for instance, while others try multiple simultaneous approach. Some will throw the same medication every time they hear "depression" and call it a day, while there is a variety of drugs on the market and a regular follow-up on the situation can help find ones that effectively work.
Have you tried applying for a position in a public sector IT-department? The public sector should not age-discriminate, at least in theory.
I qualified that statement with "most of", and if anything comments like yours promote laissez faire attitude towards pharmaceuticals, the consequences of which are disastrous - as can be seen by the opioid epidemic etc.

Look, drugs work. They work incredibly well for some people. You absolutely should avoid them if you can help it. Makes sense, no?
If I wanted to be rich I think I'd have to put much more effort into work life. I really don't want to do that.

If it comes down to working and possibly getting rich, or spending time in the pub with mates. I'll choose spending time with mates 100% of the time. I'm also very lazy, I don't think you can get rich being as lazy as I am. Hell, if it comes down to getting up before 9am to make money or sleeping in, I'll choose sleeping in.

I try to work the absolute minimum I have to that allows me my lifestyle which I'm comfortable with. If that means I never get rich, I'm fine with that.
That's true, but a lot of people think the school you attend matters. For example, in the context of hiring, if you have 2 otherwise candidates but you can only choose one, most people would choose the person who went to Stanford over the guy who taught himself to code or attended a lesser respected school (in most cases). Some companies are stupid enough to only hire people from fancy schools. I think Google did something like this for a while, but thankfully they stopped.

Thus, attending a fancy school is a big advantage if you've got the money or have another way to get in.
...but they aren't fully allocated. They're allocated at about 5% - maybe less.

How would that be worse than a few key districts in one or two swing states running everything? Presidential candidates can afford to ignore entire sections of the country because they don't matter.

One could at least make the argument that the population centers should have more weight because that's where most of the people are, and those cities have the greatest financial and cultural influence. But why should, say, Iowa be as important as it seems to be in every Presidential election?
I think what TheOtherHobbes means is you can survive adversity and pursue fulfilling interests without rising to the level of 'rich' - unless your interest is something like having colleges name buildings after you!

Indeed, it would be a poor reflection on our society if you had to be in the top percentile for income to merely be economically secure.
At some point you start getting lots of customers who purchase less but are more likely to require significant customer support resources for what they do purchase. At scale, things that might have looked O(n) at one volume of customers can change.

Even if you could double your customer support resources, it means a very different structure and needing to ensure you both hire in the same quality of employees up and down the escalation chain as well as adapt your organization to handle the vastly larger communication and problem resolution processes.

Noe of that is trivial and it's quite easy to take a great org and make it terrible by just adding a bunch of people.
Beyond Compare is really good on Windows; does the Mac version (which from changelogs appears to be a bit different from the Windows one) have actual problems apart from looking "rough"?
Git is not for kids, it should be learned only by people that will need to code regularly in the future.

But, if do need to learn git, it's not hard at all.

The problem is that most people teaching git suck at it.

Git has been poorly explained since the begining of time, and because it has a terrible UI, plenty of gotchas and untold prerequisite, you can't really fiddle with it and learn it by yourself without putting a lot of efforts.

It's a shame, because it really is a simple system to use... provided you understand it, which a lot of teachers don't.
Sorry to hear that. It's indeed an unfair situation and nothing is wrong with you, it's the industry that has a problem.

Have you considered building your own company? That's quite a change of skills, but that's what I've seen most "older" developers do.

Correct, DNA is just one element of a complete organismal informatics, you need vastly more than just the genome sequence to ressurect a species. Relatively simple microbes, or recently extinct mammals where you have a semi-plausible scheme involving suitable host cells and embryo implantation technology are exceptional cases.

One thing to realize is there are significant numbers of species that have such complex ecological dependencies that we don't know how to keep them alive outside of their natural habitat anyway, even if we could manufacture them from scratch. I've worked in labs studying mycorrhizal fungi, parasitic and mycoheterotrophic plants, soil protists, rare insects... Often, even if the species is well-characterized and we have plenty of living samples, the life-cycle still cannot be completed and a viable population cannot be maintained in artificial conditions.

Environmental genomic sampling is relatively easy to do, trendy, easy to get funding for. Conservation biology produces vast amounts of this data. But it mostly serves as an "ark" in terms of individual genes, gene products, limited gene networks, not the integrated individual. We've got very good at collating and maintaining vast databases of this stuff and very bad at stopping the actual biodiversity getting destroyed. Research on "how actually do we keep more species alive in the first place" does not get enough money or attention.
You might be right that's why they don't exist, but if so I'm not sure it's well-founded. The same legislation prevents discriminating on gender, but there's no problem (that I'm aware of, and there seem to be plenty of them) with women-specific recruitment/careers things.

You can't use age (resp. gender) as a factor in your decision making (bloody difficult to prove one way or the other most of the time I imagine) but that doesn't mean you can't run jobs4oldies.com or Women's Careers Day with Special Guest Sheryl McHighflyer.

That doesn't mean you should, but I'm pretty sure it's not illegal (in the UK, or generally against the spirit of similar legislation). IANAL.

Wow, you know nothing yet you're completely invested in strong opinions.

Go do some reading, consider relaxing your opinions while you do it.
Detecting spike protein omits the unwrapping steps that are part of the PCR test protocol.

And this test appears to be formalized for saliva from the start, which is far more practical than throat swabbing. Some studies indicate that PCR would very similar results if it was switched to saliva, but that would require recertification. Switching would probably be a net negative because swabbing is far from the only bottleneck and because protocol change artifacts would taint statistics.

That's why I added 'Generally' and 'should be found'. It would be fair to say that Robin Williams was ill.
Amazon doesn't operate like that as a business. They make intentional and calculated decisions especially when $$ is concerned.
Looking at the market, there is definitely an exponential growth. How would you measure expanding capabilities?
Agreed.

Wee need to teach thiss type of logical reasoning about statistical information at the high school level. It needs to be instinctive, and our default instincts are completely wrong for the task.

Statistical information has become extremely salient. Covid-19 is the current example. Most information is statistical. The same is true in many work contexts, where companies generate statistical knowledge that people need to interpret.

Meanwhile, this logic toolset is typically much weaker than our other ones. Average numerical ability is actually quite good, comparatively. The average person would perform ok on classic logical reasoning (Socrates is a man...). Throw in some statistical information... bogus conclusions (or no conclusion) are more common.

It's doable. Nothing too hard here. It's on par with simple algebra. We just haven't adjusted education to the needs of the times.
In many ways modern medicine changed a lot in the last half century. Similarly to how modern culture changed a lot. In particular the way in which we believe we have discovered everything there is to know is constantly evolving.

Not all hyperbole are straw men, the original question was about how the current distinction between medicine and non-medicine works. Historical examples are relevant, but not what intended in the question.

This appears to be a non seqitur. Why did the success of Asian countries make you think that this would be about something else? Especially since a lot of South Korea's success was tied to the their extensive testing efforts.

Taiwan's success attributed almost entirely to their taking a far more aggressive approach to isolation than WHO was recommending (also notable, Taiwan is not part of WHO due to China's efforts to keep them out).
I have the same issue for physical problems. I don't like to complain and I'm not really expressive. Physical appearance may also play a role (I'm 1.95m/95kg.) I had a double hernia with sciatic nerve inflammation go undiagnosed for quite some time before I took my wife with me to the doc and she complained in my stead. In any case, I've been postponing going to a psychologist for exactly this reason: I'm convinced I won't be taken seriously.
