As someone who has (mostly) enjoyed working with Python and JS (CoffeeScript in the past, and ES6+ and TypeScript more recently), and also dabbled in Ruby/Rails, I've been intrigued by Rust for a while. Its promise of being close in speed to C/C++, but safer and more ergonomic, sounds great. I have not attempted to build anything with it yet, but I've looked at what (I think) is enough examples to be familiar with its constructs, and have seen some benchmarks.

For systems software or libraries that are meant to be hooked into from, say, a JS/TypeScript environment (see https://deno.land, a promising alternative to Node), it seems like Rust has a lot of potential.

But for building applications (which is what I'm focused on currently) it seems Rust has a "No OOP for you!" attitude that gets in the way of modeling your application domain quickly. Yes, you can use impl and trait as an alternative to classes. But it seems like you have to jump through a lot of hoops; define your structs, define a trait for default behavior and remember that &self is provided as an implicit first argument to the methods (this is similarly cumbersome in Python), then define an impl for each corresponding struct (don't forget about &self!). As opposed to just declaring a base class and overriding when you need to in the subclasses. I am definitely not saying classes are the only way to do OOP, but at least give developers the option of using them.

I have found Swift attractive for application development because it gives you structs for one-off (value-based) data types, classes when you need an easy way to do inheritance and polymorphism (and/or need reference-based data types), and extensions as a more abstract way to enhance structs and/or classes (and/or enums). It doesn't force you to use classes (and the community appears to think protocols are a better construct), but the language remains approachable, and you can always start with classes then refactor to protocols when the need arises.
I think I provided the wrong link. To be clear, the Gap Minder tools show the majority of the improvement came to India and China after they opened their economies.

And in fairness, 'capitalism' is a very imprecise term which often means different things to different people.
> I'm not sure which Facebook you're using,

As I said, we're not using it anymore.

Ben Shapiro & BlueLives Matter were 6 of the 10 most reshared pieces of content yesterday & none of the other top 10 are anything but polarizing trashy antagonistic regressives either.

https://mobile.twitter.com/kevinroose/status/128100072722610...

I would be willing to admit, this kind of content does not feature a lot in my personal experience when I did use Facebook. But in general, I'm not inclined to log in & stay logged in, as it doesn't add continuous value. And I don't want to give advertising-dollars to a platform that does, day after day after day, reliably, serve to brainwash America with these reactionary attention-hungry wolves.

I'd point out that the Salem witch trials you raise judged people based on fiction (there are no witches), & killed them. Losing some friends & your job for being a demonstratively terrible awful person does not seem like a fair comparison: there is real guilt, & the consequences seem survivable. I'm not sure that the ability of any one incident to become a lightning rod of attention is ideal, but it felt like being an absolutely terrible person for too long had no consequences: I would like to see more safety nets, more forgiveness, more healing, but there being consequences for actions is an enormous improvement over where we were, and frankly the consequences seem reasonably inline & reasonable in a vast majority of the situations at hand.

I'm sorry that this seems so overwhelming for you. I hope you can find some peace.
This article is great at explaining the questions that I (as a layman) had of why still after many months we don't have much trial data on COVID-19 that we can trust. When I was asking here on HN why the trials are so small and usually don't finish, I got the answer that it's extremely hard to run a clinical trial.

But this article shows that the trials were badly designed for an illness with a large amount of deaths in a small time: they need to be big, and the data collected must be minimal (death/survival), and the opposite was happening.
I'd guess Microsoft?
microsoft? it seems like a better grouping.
I buy 1 GB data a month ago for my prepaid phone for 10 euro. I thought 1 GB isn't much so I buy another one. Turns out you can only top it off to 1 GB. I thought meh.. then I got an SMS message announcing it would expire after 30 days. I dunno, you could put that kind of stuff above the form?
I'm sorry but this reads like an advertisement for Apple products. On an article about computer self reliance your comment summarizes to

'Why bother learning any of that stuff, just get an iPad and an iPhone and let it do everything for you, it can't be fixed or repaired, but hey just take it to an Apple store, and don't worry about that technical mumbo jumbo'

It's not a different kind of self-reliance, it's using a locked down, device that doesn't let you ever learn self reliance. Can you call it self reliance if a person never learns to take the training wheels off their bike?
Having actually worked on a handful of "sev-b" tickets I really don't think the "?" is a big deal.

Jeff's email is public and the original correspondence is copied in unchanged.

I'm not even convinced Jeff sent it as I don't think Jeff reads his public email. At a company of size > 100-1000 I don't think the CEO really has the bandwidth to stop and offer insight into the nature of the problem - does "please look into this" or "forwarding" or "cc xyz" or "?" really add much value?

In hindsight they were mildly fun - the forward chain would create a chain of accountability, starting with Jeff to Diego all the way down to an L4 in their 20s to fix a customer problem - each with their neck on the line but without much influence to solve the actual issue at hand.

It really was less an email and an alternative ticketing interface.
yesterday I finally decided to investigate why gnome-calculator was so slow at starting up in my ubuntu-based xfce desktop.

It's a snap. instead of just launching a stupid binary (it's a f-ing calculator for christ's sake) somebody decided it was better to use a snap, mount a filesystem, add a cgroup and everything.

For me that was the last straw: I eradicated all the snaps in my system, uninstalled snapd and everything gnome-related that I could. Jesus christ.

Again, it's a f-cking calculator.

I don't need a snap for that.

That's what get people hating snaps.

For the record, I'm now using xcalc. It's less pretty but it starts IMMEDIATELY.

I fully agree, but I've yet to meet a VC that really appreciates honest, no bullshit answers.

I've talked with plenty VCs and my impression is they strongly prefer founders that are happy to bullshit them, and ask questions particularly to test that.

My theory is that the good ones do this on purpose, and the bad ones got bullshitted so often that they got used to it.

I don't think it's a terribly bad strategy even. If you're looking for Travis Kalanick style "growth at all costs" type founders, then brutal honesty is pretty low on the list of important character traits.
its funny, i remember thinking i knew the bees knees at like 23 and have been steadily learning how much more i dont know for a solid decade since. its great
I'm not talking about lockdown laws. I'm talking about observing proper quarantine procedures. If you are leaving your house for any reason, you are not properly quarantining even if you aren't violating lockdown laws, and you are actively _part_ of the reason your state "has one of the highest new-cases-per-day number". I am under a proper, strict quarantine.

There are of course also libertarians who oppose it.

As David Friedman put it:

> "There may be two libertarians somewhere who agree with each other about everything, but I am not one of them."

AFAIK, the classic "minarchist" position is that the reason to even have a government is to provide certain important Public Goods that can't be provided otherwise.

Those are (1) National defense, (2) A legal system with courts, jail, police etc, (3) Fighting epidemics. (3) is far less discussed (until 2020), but it's agreed on when mentioned.
No. The HDD market is a duopoly.

You’ll find binned versions of these drives in 3 months sold at 40% off in EasyStores and Elements though.

It’s how they get rid of parts that work fine but don’t pass the specs for these enterprise drives.
I disagree. Bodybuilder hard at described in the article is just a matter of effort. High barrier-to-entry means that you need extreme resources to start competing. I think they are quite different.
Yes you can, but to win the jackpot prize (paid by an insurance company) you have to be considered a "resident" of the U.S. I'm not sure if a citizen automatically means you're considered a resident. But you can win all other prizes as well as the savings bonus.

I now switched to xcalc. gnome-calculator is better, honestly, but it's not worth feeling in the 90ies.
I'd actually prefer to recieve '?' because it allows me to respond with what I consider relevant. As someone unfamiliar with the details of the topic, he's unlikely to know what's relevant, so specific questions are likely to be more of a distraction than anything.

You can always buy lower capacity drives and plug more in.
Purely binary performance, it's either working or it's not, is common for digital electronics and rare for body parts. Body parts tend to work less and less well and there's a threshold where it starts causing problems down the line. Body parts also don't tend to have intermittent failures where they can toggle between "working fine" and "not at all" rapidly whereas electronics do.

Once they stated that she had electronics in her that became obvious as a likely source of the problem.
The same objections that apply to Cloudflare in various other “anonymization via CDN” posts apply here as well: it’s only anonymizing the data Google sees, but the operator of the proxy can still harvest and profit from non-anonymous data. Be sure you trust the operator of this proxy^ to act in your best interest when evaluating whether to use this.

Can I transfer my deposit out, then transfer it back in to get additional tickets?
It's surprisingly easy. It turns out that whatever you eat consistently for a few weeks starts to seem like "food". I've been vegan for 20 years and switched overnight after reading "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins (the combination of animal welfare, health, and environment really sold me). I used to be a huge meat-eater but within a few weeks I didn't really miss it at all.
> It's absurd to think that people are so lazy that they cant pick up a phone or walk a few blocks/cycle/drive to get their meal.

You don’t have kids. Calling me lazy because I don’t have time to load up for small children in the car to drive a few miles then have to wait 0-25 minutes — potentially having to get out of the car and unloading said four kids to pick up the food, then reloading them to return home. Such an assumption that I am “lazy” is just bullshit and represents a failed understanding of a good portion of the market. We aren’t all childless adults sitting around smoking pot playing XBox waiting around for a key lime pie to be delivered. (Not saying you are, but that people who value their time more than the delivery costs are “lazy” is exactly the point you are making.)

I am happy to pay 25% for the time I am saving. It’s the same reason I don’t wash my own car: sure I could do it, but I have more valuable uses for my limited time.
No. If the delivery service knows that they need to send 4 orders to a single neighbourhood, instead of sending a driver back and forth 4 times, they instead can have the restaurant prep the 4 meals at the same time and send the driver to that neighbourhood once. Pizza places do this all the time. You'll often see them with multiple delivery bags in their car.
This is a typical middle manager mentality of treating CEO as a messenger of God.

It makes sense to me (B.S. Physics, 2010) it’s easy to tell arbitrary stories with quantities defined up to a constant.
Yes you are right. In a worst case scenario where you never win a prize, you do have opportunity cost because you could have earned more from a Marcus or an Ally.

Broadly I agree, but I think that is location specific: can you imagine doing that over the whole east coast? Is the beach\seabed stable enough? What about rivers going out, can we cope with them? Will anyone want to live in Miami if there's no beach? Will we need Mexico\Canada to do their sections to match?

I think smaller local mixed solutions are more likely given the scale and the US approach to government...
Nothing. Prove me wrong.
In my experience, buying the “latest and greatest” hard drive is a recipe for disaster. They should put a sticker on the box that says “warning: will likely die within one year.”

Maybe I’ve just gotten unlucky over the years though. Can anyone else confirm/deny that the latest hard drives tend to be unreliable?

(Cue sampling bias...)

EDIT: The article is about an enterprise HD, but I meant to ask a general question about consumer-grade drives. Presumably enterprise drives are much more reliable, because reasons. (It would be fascinating to know those reasons though!)

>If desktop Linux is ever going to be mainstream

Who says it needs to be? What if what appeals to Linux desktop users is precisely what differentiates it from the mainstream?

Snap is regressive. What we have now works better, faster, lighter, and more secure. No, you can't have a convenient means of shipping your proprietary electron 10G garbage monster to end users. We don't need it to be "mainstream".
He mentioned several times that asking for reviews wasn't common (in his opinion) at the time, and so there's little else that could reasonably explain the jump in review count.
I agree with you 100%

The larger issue is that Jeff's subordinates will then treat their subordinates in the same way. If this becomes common, it will extend to other behavior or communication. This will result in horrible company culture, where bosses treat their underlings like shit. Do not normalize this type of behavior! That is not good for employee retention, nor employee productivity/morale. It all comes from up top.
I think DDG and Bing do all of that as well and in many cases better with low budgets.. The moat is that content creators do whatever Google wants and debug experience problems only coming from Google since it has the overwhelming number of users.
If you're not a digital nomad yourself or otherwise living in digital nomad desirable locations it would make sense that you never encounter any organically, and that just leaves you with those that are pushing the lifestyle.

I don't understand how you could be skeptical of the idea, it's pretty simple. Step 1, have remote job or contract work. Step 2, choose not to stay in one location. The end.

I remember having an ongoing debate with someone who reported to me about the etiquette of emails.

He held that every subsequent email in a long thread should start with, "Hello [name]," before the first paragraph. I thought that was reasonable for the first email, but when things got to the 3rd or 4th response, it was normal to just write your response, first paragraph starting on the first line.

Most of the company did that. He and I had issues. We never resolved this (I gave in on this, as I was trying to resolve our lack of alignment on many fronts), but I find it completely normal in most of the companies I've worked in since.

Especially since those of us who are emailing each other all day long are doing it over and over again, day after day, and getting the friendly formalities when we see other in real space, or on calls.

There's a passive aggressiveness to holding out for higher formalities when the cultural context is otherwise totally fine with shorthands that come with working and communicating with some people a lot.

> Of course, there will be some extra requests from bots, but having such statistics is better than nothing.

I think this is a bit understated. A simple number coming off the image requests is going to be very unreliable. On average, you will not be able to discern bots and real users.

A plotting of the hits over time may be more usable.
Reading further, I found it's built on top of Algolia's Service.
The American nuclear family was supported by the state, notably through housing policy; for instance, the best neighborhoods in the country have "single family zoning", which literally prohibit extended families in suburban neighborhoods. In fact: even after redlining, which persisted in many forms into our own lifetimes, many areas are still single-family zoned. These zoning ordinances are all turn-of-the-20th-century racist devices.

The movement isn't dishonest. Its critics are simply ignorant. That's not surprising; they've been kept in ignorance deliberately.

> After achieving CNCF certification in Nov 2017[2], GCP began using the term 'Kubernetes' within the product name, rebranding it as 'Google Kubernetes Engine'.

No, that is if you want runtime support, etc.

If you just want to run some computational code (which is the case for most of the Wasm use today), it will Just Work, as you say.

In fact, that is how I sped up a webpage: I just wrote myself the minimal support needed to run the code that computed X, and that's it. I don't want the entire world or standard library for computational bits to work.
Can you reference the point in this research where the process should have taken this into account but didn't? Looking for specific points in primary sources if you don't mind.
Animation studios. I worked for one that produced content for Netflix and they were struggling with space issues. With just over 1PB of storage data, it gets tricky to fit more hardware.

You have to keep archival data in case the studio decides to comes back, not forgetting you have to keep revisions, the raw formats, the rendered formats, the render raws, audio raw, audio mixed.

Television Studio's and Broadcasting Companies all occupy lots storage too.

At least for coil speakers, arrays of smaller speakers can perform better than one large speaker (or at least, better than the sum of their parts).

It looks like the ones from the article are meant for earbuds, but if these MEMS speakers someday become cheap enough to create a large phased array of them it might make for neat hi-fi system.
