I've spent a lot of time poking it and running it through scenarios to get an understanding of it - haven't used it in production though. Might look at trialling it there in a year or so, once some of the early bugs are shaken out.

It has a lot of promise, but adopting it right now is going to require you spending a lot of time reading source code when you, like I did, find the docs are out of date, or have giant holes.

Things I liked:

Tiered storage - the ability to offload old data to S3 / Azure / HDFS, and then reload it upon transparently by a consumer, is awesome. (albeit with some delay, but their reasoning is that historical reads don't need millisecond latency)

Inter-cluster replication is a lot easier than running up a Kafka Connect cluster to run Mirror Maker 2, but there's a slight caveat that it doesn't work for chained clusters (A -> B -> C). A message from A won't be replicated to C by B. But Pulsar assumes A is going to replicate to both of them if they need it.

Schema registry baked in is nice. Pulsar's replication automatically replicating the schema to other clusters is verrrrry nice for consumers on a different cluster. It's doable with Confluent's Schema Registry, but it's another thing to manage.

Load balancing brokers - haven't seen it any action, but they attempt to redistribute partition ownership based on load.

Only downsides were the docs were sparse or out-of-date in places, especially the BookKeeper ones. There were some configuration fun and odd errors with the BK command line tools (and they could never tell me which bookie was the auditor) and there's two scripts that do very similar things, but not quite. That said, having an auditor process that checks for under-replicated segments automatically is nice, once it's working.

There's several tools for Kafka that do similar, but nice to have it out of the box.

Can't really comment on its capacities to act as a message queue, but it has that too.

But yeah, I reckon I'll look again in a year.

On an interesting note, Pulsar is very similar design to the PubSub system - near-stateless easily scalable brokers with (another layer) then BK as the storage layer. They moved to Kafka, but then, they have Twitter sized problems so YMMV. https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/insights/2...

Isn't this what was commonly done on proprietary Unix, even before Linux existed? From what I have read about that era (I started with Linux so I didn't live through these times), the GNU tools were better than what came with these Unix systems. The authors of these guides probably have a similar opinion about the BSD tools.

Will you personally volunteer to spend days in cramped classrooms with 25 kids?

Volunteer, no, obviously not. Pay me more than what I get now, sure. I'm not afraid of children. Nor am I retired or in any risk group. I know the data about the risks perfectly well - I'm in far more danger from simply getting to and from the school in the first place. It's other adults that can infect me, not children:

https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-a...

Worldwide, relatively few children have been reported with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Data from the Netherlands also confirms the current understanding: that children play a minor role in the spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children. The spread of COVID-19 among children or from children to adults is less common.
Brendan's "convincing" argument can be summed up as "Linux is better in all areas" and listing some relatively new technologies like BPF but which are horrid to program much less understand, and he lists no technical details. Whatever short-circuit suddenly happened in his head, he can be treated as a hostile witness for all intents and purposes. Him and I had a long one on one discussion and I'm not in the least convinced by his "arguments".
Rust's type system doesn't have a notion of "looks right visually," so the compiler is ipso facto unhelpful there
PC makers switching to ARM was the thesis of the linked post.

Regarding your thesis:

'Creaming off most valuable consumers' somehow didn't stop Huawei, Samsung, etc. from being huge profitable enterprises. Partly because it's not quite true (Apple has a position in some countries, in others it might as well not exist), partly because there's more to things than a benchmark comparison (Apple survived for a long time when Mac processors were inferior), and partly because we'll see a response from Intel and AMD. It's going to be an interesting few years in this sector.

> They'll drop it as soon as something cheaper comes around.

My bet - nothing cheaper comes along. Because Reliance's biggest competitive advantage is close links with the government, regardless of the party in power. A hypothetical competitor would find it difficult to get spectrum allocated, have trouble with land usage rights, tax issues like Vodafone had.

There is a reason foreign companies set up joint ventures with Reliance, Tata, Birla etc. Ostensibly it's because these companies "understand" the Indian market. In reality, it's because they have spent decades "lobbying" political parties and will continue doing so for several decades more. A company like Sky wouldn't know how to get started with political lobbying, wouldn't be comfortable with outright bribery, can't make a long term commitment to staying in India. So they set up Tata Sky - they supply the tech, Tata supplies the connections.

I'll share an anecdote along the same lines, albeit much smaller in scale:

In 2004 an acquaintance asked me for help with sharing an Internet connection to the residents of his condominium after he had failed getting a common router/switch solution to work. The router was not playing ball unless all clients presented themselves in one and the same subnet, which prompted the unmanaged switch to pass traffic directly between the ports, and that was a no-no for historic reasons relating to Windows and its malware of the time. So I repurposed an old anno 1999 ATX motherboard with a mix of Ethernet cards - the board offered 6 PCI ports and the condominium has 5 residents - 256 MB of RAM, and a low-power passively cooled Pentium III to act as router and switch in one, running OpenBSD with some dhcpd(8) and pf(4) to manage clients and traffic.

16 years later this set-up is still in use 24/7 due to ISPs claiming logistic problems preventing them from installing gateway equipment in the building. It serves a VDSL2 line of 60/20 Mbit/s coming in over the POTS. At its peak the computer had 6 years of uptime. It is still running OpenBSD 3.5 due to poor #OPSEC on my behalf.

Chess master literally dominates most if not all ranked players below master level.
Yes, but you still can't write garbage collected code, which is tremendously useful in many circumstances. E.g. when using closures you really don't want to be thinking about memory allocation, and closures have proven a very useful concept. There are countless of reasons why the availability of a GC is a productivity booster.

So I wouldn't describe Rust as a language that fits all domains and/or programmers well.
The Rectangle Rule
But isn't this part of the point? Philosophically science is about being interested and studying broad range of topics and areas to judge everything for yourself and make your own conclusions, not trust expert opinions. In my experience, whenever I have to rely on an expert opinion I usually feel bad later when I acquire more knowledge in the area myself, as those opinions are almost always wrong.
Can confirm. I don't remember which one I discovered first, but the YouTube you-may-also-like algorithm led me to the other.

Your best bet might be a white noise machine or similar artificial background noise (quite music).

The borrow checker only checks, it does not solve the problem. In other languages the problem does not even exist to begin with.

It is not a trivial problem to solve (as you claim), otherwise we would have never needed the borrow checker to avoid memory bugs, nor higher level languages to speed up development by avoiding the problem altogether.

If you are going to end up sprinkling clones, heap allocating and reference counting, then you could have used C#, Java or JS to begin with which are plenty fast with their JIT/VMs and not think about memory at all.

Finally, comparing against Python is a very, very low bar for performance.

For someone who has good grounding in FreeBSD and the above technologies already, I can see how that decision would make sense (if you know dtrace well, you probably invested several man weeks into it -- why throw that away?). Typically the situation will be the reverse however (almost anyone you can hire at any level will know more Linux than FreeBSD) and the technological benefits you list do not seem like they would make up for that.

ZFS: these days it's developed on and for linux first and foremost, as far as I can tell (FreeBSD moved to ZFS on linux, correct?).

Dtrace: linux finally caught up and basically went one better with perf/ebpf.

kqueues: as you said, io_uring looks like it will take care of that (and probably put linux ahead).

pf: I can see how pf is compelling if what you want is first and foremost some firewall box, and you take whatever OS comes with the firewall (I haven't used pf, but most people seem to agree its significantly nicer than iptables et al).

Belief in experts is itself sound scientific reasoning about the available evidence on experts.

It’s like a chain of custody in legal evidence. If someone presents evidence in court and states that there are logs, seals and timestamps proving the chain of custody and disproving tampering, it is not “an act of faith” to believe the evidence was preserved accurately, even though you only observe details about the chain of custody, not the state of the evidence itself at all times.

It’s similar with expert opinion. You can think of the evidence (which you don’t personally observe) as passing through a series of chain of custody transactions - initial data collection, data preparation, actual study or research, proposed models, fact checking and testing correctness, presentation of results, use in an application / prototype / clinical trial, etc.

Believing in the fidelity of this chain of events is itself amenable to scientific and inductive inquiry.

Just like some rare case where police or attorneys lied about chain of custody with evidence that did get tampered with, sometimes this model of continuing trust at each step of the chain is wrong. Sometimes the chain of events that led to an expert opinion is untrustworthy - someone falsified data or lied, or there was an undetected error.

But that means it is a statistical process with an error rate, not that it contains any aspect similar to faith.
A lot of modern electronic music actually has generative elements in it. Granular synthesis is very often random-based, though it's more in between an audio effect and generative. Especially in modular synthesis there exist very advanced and interesting arpeggiator modules. I know for a fact that these techniques are used during certain psy-trance livesets (forest psy, among other things).

I mean you still could argue it's not music, but I bet the audience on the dance floor disagrees.

Lie? Given how much chaos and contradiction comes out of the public health establishment every day, do you really think people who disagree are just lying, or have they seen other reports than you?

https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-a...

Here's the public health arm of the Dutch government summarising the evidence:

Worldwide, relatively few children have been reported with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Data from the Netherlands also confirms the current understanding: that children play a minor role in the spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children. The spread of COVID-19 among children or from children to adults is less common.

No lie - current best understanding.
You pointed out the possible starting point yourself: one of your acquaintances is already involved with the scene. That seems quite sufficient for the scene to keep existing.
Ditto here, my friend Jan de Leur, architected the solution for the KVSA, the company that arranges for a very large fraction of all container shipping in the world to be distributed across shipping companies and vessels. We're talking 1983 or so here, the system used QnX, a very early service oriented operating system and was absolutely rock solid and scaled horizontally across many systems (it had to, given the typical system of the day). Using commodity hardware in a cluster of several 10's of PCs the system was hardware fault tolerant and as far as I know never went down except when someone deliberately caused the air conditioning to fail. On a typical monday it would handle several million containerloads without a hitch.

I looked into self-hosted wikis for our team earlier this year. Outline looked very promising, but as the author here mentioned, the documentation was indeed lacking. It seemed to me that they're more intent on pushing their paid plans.

Ultimately we landed on BookStack (https://www.bookstackapp.com/) and people in our org love it. Deployment instructions were pretty easy to follow for someone who doesn't do many server deployments, the UI is great, and the feature set is sufficient for our needs. Plus, the lead developer is extremely helpful in answering questions on Discord.

Sorry, I may not have explained my point clearly enough.

I'm not suggesting that you would use WASM for server work at all.

I'm suggesting that Rust would be interesting for WASM on the frontend because it doesn't depend on a runtime.

Given that you might want to use Rust for WASM you may also want to use it on the backend (that's without using WASM on the backend).

The assessment of Rust via small projects says nothing about the suitability or not of C or any other language.

It's just about the suitability of Rust right now and how it's changed from the last time you assessed it.

If you are good at something and the customer doesn't really understand the process then you can make it look easy, and no one wants to spend a lot of money to pay someone to do something easy. But if the customer knows what it actually takes to solve the problem, the real value of having someone else do it is much more evident. Even if you feel like what you do is easy, there are people out there who consider it indistinguishable from magic.

> there are (in the US) government employees making sure they are safe. The workers are well represented by a strong union, have good healthcare and reasonable wages.

What country do you live in? Most teachers are employees of the local school district, not directly of the government. (When I was a Title I teacher, I was a federal employee, but that's not very common). I was never in a union, because there weren't any in the Detroit charter schools I worked at. And I only made $27,000 a year. Does that sound well-paid to you? Even though we had decent health care, with student loans I couldn't afford the copay, so I forwent any health care unless it was an emergency.
Solaris regularly beats Linux in performance on the same hardware, and the subsystems which are "slower" aren't really: they just don't lie and trade safety for performance, like Linux does. Linux is fake performance at the cost of correctness of operation.
