> I'm the kind of guy that likes to re-run his code continually to see if it validates to what I expect it to be doing. In Rust, this kind of workflow just doesn't work at all.

Interestingly, my case is the exact opposite. When I am coding in Typescript or Python I'm out of place, since I got used to first write the types to make sure everything is aligned, _and then_, start writing logic...

Even in Typescript this workflow is not easy to do, since its compiler is nowhere as powerful.

"In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic."
I think GP meant that at least very with Ambani, the money stays in India and is circulated inside the country. The services are provided to Indians, we are paid to do the work, and we spend it in India. It's better because the wealth of the country isn't leaking away, or at least leaking slower.

The other soldier mentioned in that article was the same rank, not a commanding officer (CO). In no way diminishes the seriousness of the apparent murder, of course.
Added CPP. Let me confirm my numbers against that tax calculator. I based this on the rates found in the "About" page, but its possible I screwed up the calculation.
You're asking a great question. I used to work as a professional trader and the answer is that probably nobody really knows. Like you said, any explanation you hear about prices moving is just a narrative fallacy.

People love hearing simple explanations to complex questions like "why did X price move" when in reality there is no such thing. The stock market is an incredibly complex interconnected system, with so many types of participants and algorithms optimizing for different outcomes over different time horizons.

Retail flow can certainly influence the market, but in my experience the influence is more indirect than direct, as algorithms may jump onto the retail order flow signals to profit from it, which may then create positive feedback loops. But who knows, the fact is that a lot of volume is being bought, and that's all you can conclude.

I'd go as far as saying that anyone who tries to connect the stock market with economic events doesn't understand a thing about trading. They're just not connected, except in a few special instruments. They're only connected in so far that people believe they are connected and invest based on that, just like Bitcoin is only worth what people believe it to be worth.
Logged in just to say congrats, this attitude is seldom encountered, even among those building their products almost entirely on freely available foundations.
A failed upgrade of GitLab? Can you give details - I got used to monthly Gitlab updates going very smoothly and now I’m a little afraid. What went wrong?
Not really. Reference counting doesn't prevent reference loops, and reference loops which aren't reachable from code are memory leaks - which is why garbage collectors do sweeps to detect unreachable memory. Rust doesn't have any kind of automatic cleanup of unreachable memory if you bypass the borrow-checker.

Rust is a language for memory management. There is no way to write code in Rust without thinking about memory.

Because interest rates will never go back up, or if they do, they will be counterbalanced by inflation. This is the view of Ray Dalio at Bridgewater and (presumably) many other very smart people. I'm not that smart, but I agree.

Thus, cash and cash obligations are no longer stores of wealth. Equities are, unfortunately. High volatility is just the price you pay. Equity prices are honestly not that high if this scenario plays out.
thanks! I'll add that.

What I would like to know is who the market is. I mean, I'm pretty sure that my investments don't decide if the market goes down or up and, I doubt very much the traditional narrative that the market movements are the result of the aggregate decisions of a lot of people like me.

I would not be surprised if one hundred (random number) people were the one that decide what the market does. The controllers of the investment banks and the big funds are the real players, I suppose.

So, if that theory is right, and we want to know why the market is doing what is doing, we should look to those people. I don't know, maybe even ask them directly what are they thinking.
Chinese venture firms are subject to PRC's National Intelligence Law, which requires all Chinese organisations to support, co-operate with and collaborate in national intelligence work.

This is a given. Look at the push for schools to open in the fall. They're even talking about tax credits for attending sporting events and for traveling and staying in hotels. All kinds of craziness in the midst of a pandemic.

This:

> and has an environmental impact 1-2 orders of magnitude worse than a single use paper or plastic bag

presumes this:

> a bag they'll never use again

...right?

Which seems strange to me, given that people will really only buy the bag if they are planning to use it multiple times.

Measuring it as if it were a single-use bag, would be a bit like measuring the environmental impact of solar panels + batteries, as if they never generated any power (and thus never displaced any grid consumption of "spiky load" coal plants et al) and only existed as a cost of initial chemical construction.

For the raw account details alone it probably has more to do with being able to use it as a pathway to transfer ill gotten gains into/out of US/EUR than it does w/ the contents of the account. For the transfers from stolen accounts it looks like its just discounted based on probability that the transfer won't be reversed in time maybe?

I really don't understand the logic here. If EVs are so easily repaired, wouldn't that mean that no EV customer or maker would ever be concerned with the concept of a lemon car? No manufacturer would need to do any dancing around the law -- no NDAs, no "goodwill" repairs of warrantied defects, etc.

Personally, I think lemon laws are overall very good for car manufacturers: they give people a sense of comfort regarding the worst-case scenario in purchasing a new car. And that's especially important for cars based on new technologies. But I'd love to see whether there's any empirical support for this.

There definitely is a line to be careful with, but I do think this is the vast majority of what is happening with most social justice movements today.

Black Lives Matter is not fighting for cops to shoot more white people to equalize the numbers, they are trying to show how it is possible in lots of similar situations to deescalate situations without killing anyone, even with violent offenders if training is good, and officers don't have a bias (explicit or subconscious) against the type of person. It is also very obvious to show that minorities are being over-policed and often harassed for just living their lives.

I think similarly with this issue of the leg up that attractive people have in the world, the only way we can fight it is by acknowledging it exists and trying to actively re-evaluate every decision we make about who we choose to interact with, and how much it is informed by these types of bias. This is not the same as giving the attractive people a -10 on whatever evaluation they are a part of. It is always going to be true that correcting for these types of bias will be inexact, welcome to life, but saying we just shouldn't give a shit about less attractive people is a worse outcome for all of society, and its not like author is asking for infinite effort from everyone to correct this. Talented people exist everywhere, if we don't push those of disadvantaged groups up, only some of them will "pull their bootstraps" hard enough to overcome things on their own. People need to be introspective to correct for their biases, there really isn't a way around that, we are imperfect beings quick to pass judgement.

I have a distinct memory of a part of the confirmation hearing of Sonia Sotomayor, she had written about her need to actively review her background when starting a case, to see if she might have prior experiences that would color her judgement. Republicans tried to spin this as, she acknowledged she is biased, obviously she can't be an objective judge. But she defended herself well and asserted it is effectively impossible, to just be objective without this kind of evaluation. Effectively the same argument that people correctly make about the virtual impossibility of just being "race-blind", we all have things we have experienced that color our perceptions of different people, ideas and places, we cannot ignore that fact and just go on asserting we are good objective decision makers with no special effort to account for these things.

It's 404ing for now, so maybe the contents actually defy the title when I finally will get to RTFA. I have to say, I'm amused by a lot of the contrarian articles showing up on HN recently. There seems to be a growing tendency to shed a lot of the saccharine optimism of the last decade.

I would love to see some quality benchmarking of a non-trivial threaded solver in Rust.

While I found this short piece to be fascinating, I had figured since it was in Lapham's it'd be a bit longer. I was surprised when I reached the final sentence and scrolled down that there wasn't a beginning to another section...I suppose I'll have to read the book to learn more :)

Understate inflation so real rates are negative, then your savings either dwindle or you give in to the pressure to take more risk.
My highest upvoted comment this month was for an article I didn't read because it was behind a paywall. So yes, I think there is a problem. The karma system rewards you for being on time more than it rewards you for being correct. It also seem to reward snark a lot.

For example, some time ago there was an article about why dynamic linking was worse than static linking along supported with a set of benchmarks. Many people posted highly upvoted, snarky, derisive comments about how the author was wrong and questioned his benchmarks. No one tried to reproduce his benchmark figures (had they tried to they would have found some bugs in them).

I'm confident that if someone were to post an article about why static linking is worse than dynamic linking it would be met with the same kind of snark. So it's not the subject.
You cannot claim this without any evidence. I can present scientific papers showing that homeopathy does not work better than placebo effect.
Do they? I mean, logging in is one thing, but transferring? I believe the hacked account owner can just get their funds back, and PayPal is very trigger happy at freezing accounts (especially new or idle) that get a large (a few hundred or more) sum at once.

So if you were to gain access to a stranger's account, you'd have to transfer the money to an existing, old and actively used account. Which is likely to be your own or your friend's.

Seems like a huge risk, so the hackers just sell the account to some idiot willing to try it.
People want to learn what you do at work. Real projects, real code, with usable output. Blog posts tend to teach in an idealized, shallow way - because it's easier to write about and easier to teach.

If you, instead, put in the work to show every step, every detail, and every hack that sort of quality is extremely valuable to beginners.

So I could say, go look at the Stack Overflow developer survey, or State of X 2020 survey, or Google Trends -- and that will help, for sure. But the most valuable thing you can do is show someone what you /actually/ do at work.

Not OP, but: It does not for me, fwiw. However we release often, so i'm not releasing a binary into a distributed ecosystem where i expect it to live for years and years. In that scenario i would be wary of non-stable, since a looming issue in nightly could persist for an uncontrolled amount of time.

However thus far we have never had to push a release due to a bug found in nightly. We also have never had a build break because of nightly, or even upgrading.

The only breakage i'm aware of was, oddly, a semi-recent Rustup change. Our CI was not pinning the Rustup version, and the argument defaults changed so the downloaded Rustup did not have the components needed for our CI setup.

We will however migrate to stable once Rocket becomes stable. Thus far however, we've not had any trouble on nightly. I can only assume this is a result of the Rust teams excellent QA/tests/care/etc, combined with the language itself being very easy to write error-free code.

Paranoia is common, especially during times of high stress.

I used to believe people were born beautiful and there is some truth to it but even the people I've thought were most beautiful, if I look hard enough, generally I can see they're just normal people who spend more time on grooming, style, clothing, posture, presentation, charm, etc... Maybe they got lucky and some of it came naturally, not necessarily genetically though possibly but more like serendipity to gain those habits or skills.

Take the most beautiful person you know and see them when they're sick and they rarely stay attractive.

In any case it's arguably learnable. I don't know if this example will resonate but certain cities have a culture of beauty. Tokyo is one. People dress up to go out, at least most women do. I use to think it was either (a) they were born attractive or (b) the city attracted beautiful people. But, I've changed my mind. Instead the city culture has set a standard and people, in general, feel pressure to try to adhere to it.

I know it's an anecdote but a very attractive women once told me the only difference between attractive and not is effort. We all probably know exceptions but in my experience they are fairly rare. I'm not saying everyone can be a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 but I'm confident the majority of people can be 7-8 even 9 with effort. Many of the most beautiful people I know, put them in drab clothing with no make up and try to remove your memory of their prior attractiveness and they just look like plain ordinary people.

I don't think the current social climate is conducive to this advice anymore. It was probably helpful in around 2008 to 2015.

It's hard to think of a situation where being unlikable is an advantage, today. Even in situations pg likes to point out – for example, if you think for yourself, you often upset others – you can do that privately rather than publicly, and still get the same advantage.

EDIT: there is one situation where you must be “unlikable” in a certain sense: if you think a company should do x, and someone else with equal authority thinks it should do y, and the decision is important. But even then, it’s probably easier to convince them with social aikido (or to let yourself be convinced), not assert dominance.

Try taking that to the local grocery store.

Leaders of "justice" movements want power. The best way to get power is to make an outside group the enemy and tell your followers their problems are only because of the enemy. Next, you position yourself as having the answer and if your followers will only continue doing what you say then they will be lifted, their problems will subside, and the enemy vanquished. As long as you can keep an enemy front and center and your followers problems never subside your power will continue to grow.

it's the oldest playbook in humanity.
You don’t need a complete meltdown to profit off of gold. You just need a little pandemic and some inflation to see a spike. The trick with gold is to rebalance it when it spikes. It’s not a very good “buy and hold forever” asset class.
