> I disagree with this notion that "if you're going to have bugs anyway, what's the point of Rust" [...] [citation needed]

Well, this can be related to an actual real-world concept, that is "programming in a certain language with the syntax/runtime of another".

In my experience, all the times I've seen this happening, the project was just terribly written.

I program in Rust, and if I happened to put an excessive¹ amount of unsafe code in Rust, it means that simply, I'm not programming in Rust. In my opinion, in real world this phenomenon happens for beginners, lazy programmers, or bad programmers, especially for Rust, because it has a steep learning curve, and it requires an effort, when designing a project, that other languages don't require.

So there is a point, although theoretical, that a good programmer in an unsafe language, can produce a more stable project than a bad programmer in a safe language.

With that in mind, I still wish as others to see unsafe languages disappear :-)

¹="excessive" is of course subjective.

>Isn't it common knowledge? 40% of employees work in companies with a worker council, it's pretty much the default for large enterprises.

Yes, these are very different job markets, and totally different markets in general with a very different cost of living. If you want to compare the job markets, you'd also have to take that into consideration.

The main reason why software engineers in the US make more on average are the FAANG companies and VC backed startups that pay insane salaries for their employees, primarily in the Bay Area with extremely high cost of living.

I don't think an entry level Google engineer making $120k living in the Bay Area can afford a better lifestyle than me making €60k (before taxes) living in Germany.
Side loading on Android does not require a certificate. What people are suggesting is allowing side loading something like fortnite to by-pass the App Store, like what is possible on Android.

Side loading is not the same as installing apps as a developer for testing.

2nd, sure you need a passcode etc to accept the install, this every-now-n-then gets by passed.
It's not accurate at all - in comparison to the US. Obviously management having a pay disparity is common (which is in itself interesting, and economically not that obvious - more likely a social effect of a hierarchy), but the disparities in the US are larger. (The US has fairly extreme inequality compared to other wealthy countries, generally regardless of what you're looking at, so it comes as no surprise that it's the case here). Furthermore, the actual statistics likely under represent the issue, due to how stocks and capital gains.

If you mean to say the inequality in NL or Germany is unreasonably high - sure! But the US is even less equal.

Edit: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/16/ceos-see-pay-grow-1000percen... also looks at older income inequalities, and the development is pretty stark.
I work with relatively immature team and a monolithic app that does not deal well with errors. The static infrastructure works flawlessly which caused a huge debt in the form of lack of error handling. The application while processing huge transaction load also has strict real-time requirements and no scalability requirements (load is well controlled from within the org).

When I joined, the team was in the process of migrating to cloud, yet with no understanding of what that means. The basic plan was to split the app into smaller services and get them running in containers, with no provision to get the team to learn to support the app, debug problems, deal with spurious errors, etc.

We are currently migrating off to get be able to focus on improving the app instead of spending entire learning budget (I mean developers' limited focus ability, not money) on learning cloud tech. Improving here means refactoring, properly separating modules, building robust error handling, etc. There might be time when when we decide to get back on cloud but currently I see this is only distracting from really important issues.
I don’t see why this is would actually be a bad idea—it just sounds like the offer wouldn't be taken up much. Most systems that allow people to express some preference to be kinder to someone else probably won’t end up causing harm—the worst case is that they just don’t cause anything.
It does, thank you. What do you mean by equal in your first assumption? How does that choice impact your conclusion?
exactly, the original factory is likely the construction/logistic bot production center, it'd be slow but not necessarily inefficient, so it can stay while the bot build the modular factory elsewhere
The paid apps also subsidize the support and distribution of free apps. This makes the App Store and platform more attractive and helps developers in the end OTOH, it is pretty wild that Facebook has never paid a dime to Apple for software distribution, aside from $99 a year.
I fail to see how this is a problem, honestly. A part of choosing to distribute to the iPhone platform is making sure all transactions related to the product you distribute go through Apple.

I don't see anybody complaining about Sony taking cuts and requiring transactions go through the PlayStation Network, even though purchasing things for Fortnite there does not in any way, shape or form need to involve the PlayStation Network to be properly facilitated.

> It relies on the idea that these authors were women who took pseudonyms because of the society they were in rather than fully by choice.

There is zero dichotomy between the two. Of course peoples choices are dependent on society they are in - both unconsciously and consciously as they weight consequences of their decisions. "Fully by choice" does not mean "you have to act like autistic person with no knowledge of society you operate in".

> Wouldn't using a masculine name and wearing masculine clothing be grounds to consider her in fact a him, a transgender man?

Not necessary. You cant translate our society into them that straightforwardly. Quoting wikipedia: "Sand was one of many notable 19th-century women who chose to wear male attire in public." The reasons varied from practical to basically expression of radical feminism. It also allowed

India also has this in the form of reservation system. f.e., for the prestigious IITs

Less than 14.5% of the total seats are available for the general category students.

The total category wise distribution in the IIT’s for academic year 2019–20 is as follows

* OBC-NCL – 27%

* Scheduled Caste (SC) – 15%

* Scheduled Tribe (ST) – 7.5%

* Persons with disability (PwD)- 5% in each category (namely OPEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST)

* 2 seats in each institute for ‘Defense service candidates’
Foreign nationals- up to 10% (supernumerary)

* Female candidates- 17% (supernumerary)

* Economically weaker section- 4% currently(It will go up to 10% in a couple of years)

Total percentage of reserved seats - 85.5%

This quota system is present in all govt funded and public sector jobs and colleges.

It's 'infinite' on a technicality. Having your last few technologies on repeat all so your investment in tech-making infrastructure doesn't completely go to waste just barely qualifies, nothing more.

It feels like the only reason they even left it in the game was that it became a bit of a measurement of how well your design scales past the end game - I cannot tell you how many otherwise meaningless 'X000 science per minute' base videos there are on YouTube, but the number is not insignificant. Most of the time it's just 'bot speed++' over and over again, since that's how many of those bases work without running into extreme update per minute (UPM) problems.
You say monopoly over and over as though I made that argument. Rather I think it's fairly irrelevant here. Rather the actual consumer experience, and consumer agency is to me far more important. This has been explicitly degraded by Epic, unless exclusivity is now good for consumers.

You celebrate this as "playing hardball" at the cost of consumers, but probably would outraged if steam were return fire.

As for their claims on we're just trying to help the devs get better cuts, I'll believe them when I see an explicit legally binding document. Right now, I trust Epic about as much as I trust tencent.
I had a co-worker who used to joke about that, but now that I've spent 4 weeks making a JSON template for basically just two VMs, I'm starting to take his idea more seriously.

Time to deploy is a known value. The impact potential of having a workflow where ssh'ing into production is even possible can cost you buckets as:
1. You're messing with production, obviously.
2. Your infrastructure isn't stateless.
3. Your infrastructure is likely not HA.
4. You likely don't have canaries in place to mitigate the impact of bad production deployments.

And the impact of all of these on direct revenue/productivity can be immense. SSH into prod is a crutch.

Signing the Geneva conventions (I-IV) has nothing to do with their acceptance - it's a willingness to continue the conversation. The conventions themselves specify this process. There's a ratification step, which was has never occurred in Israel. The only part of the Geneva convention Israel has ratified is Protocol III, which specifically allows for the red crystal to be used instead of the red cross and crescent symbols.

Signing the convention in 1949 was a smart thing to do. Watching the world give less than a wit about it in 1949 is the same reason it hasn't been ratified in Israel.

This "finding" is absolutely tasteless. Studies found that SATs have little to no correlation to graduating from a university, same thing with GREs in grad school. African American students are proven year over year to have far less educational resources in their communities, live in poverty, etc. And far less African Americans apply to get into Yale compared to their white or Asian counterparts and the ones that do apply have a better shot of getting in due to their hard work than the African Americans that don't apply. And on top of that still has to deal with inequality across the board. So yes, to the 5% of Yale students that are African Americans, their acceptance was very well deserved. Knock off the bs about IQ this and IQ that. Try that crap in the real world at your job and see how far that gets you.

> and a well documented way to install third party software

I have made a few packages for Debian ARM Linux when I needed them. I wouldn’t call the documentation great, but it’s not too bad either. Same with the infrastructure, the OS support versioning and dependencies, can be configured for custom repositories and to verify signatures…

It’s not terribly hard to make them fully working, install/remove/start/stop systemd services, support upgrade/purge/reinstalls, matter of a few shell scripts to write. The command to install a custom package from a local file is this:

sudo dpkg -i custom-package_0.11.deb

However, this all was for embedded or similar, where I had very good idea about the target OS version and other environmental factors. Not sure how well the approach would work for a desktop Linux.

Here on HN I've occasionally seen people talk about $150/hr as a "low" contracting rate.

And others talk about how they could not achieve that in their wildest dreams, and consider $80/hr "good".

I was recently contacted about a contract proposal, in the USA, and they were offering $50/hr for some quite advanced cryptography work for a BigCorp end customer. I turned it down but it's good to get an idea of the market rate.

Rate expectation seems to vary a great deal depending on which geography and network-bubble people are in.
It wasn't supposed to negate his points, I said I agree to them too.

The issue is that Apple would be still be comfortably profitable at a much lower and less predatory level of Apple-tax-rate. They are fundamentally not entitled to the profits of the companies who have to be on their market. The value they provide to the developers and customers collectively for simply hosting and reviewing these apps is not 30%. As other commenters have pointed out, they are willing to pay a portion of this extra 30% if and only if it goes to the people who build the applications. It's not a supply-demand mismatch issue, it's overreach and exploitation.

On the other hand, I don't quite get what your point is about Apple being a healthy business or them not accumulating debt (which is arguably wrong, Apple has ~91,807,000,000 USD in long-term debt (out of 142B USD in non-current liabilities)). I don't think that is relevant here, let alone discounts my point about the excessive profits they've accumulated.
