This is partly due to urbanization and city ordinance. This is an issue near and dear to me here in Texas. Feral hogs are, like many other wild animals, adapting to the ecosystem created by humans. One downside though is that you cannot hunt/kill them in city limits. It's very commonplace for feral hogs to bed down in suburbs and populate there, so no matter how many people go on hog "hunts" from helicopters with rifles, it won't change the fact that in that neighborhood park you have hogs rutting in a no-kill zone.

There's no nice, fully socially acceptable answer, because even in Texas the majority of city folks are not comfortable with the reality of killing another living creature, and they certainly aren't comfortable with people using firearms inside the city. Unlike deer issues, you can't do crossbow hunts for feral hogs because they're dangerous and travel in packs. You need firearms with high magazine capacities to safely do feral hog abatement hunts.

In addition to all of the above, Texas is uniquely difficult to resolve this situation for because of the size of the state. Texas is big, and feral hogs range across the entire state. In many ways, there's simply not enough people who are interested and able to spend their free time during the week shooting hogs. Because of population centralization in cities, people do it as a weekend trip and usually with a company that charges them to handle the logistics, because it's also not okay to just walk on random land here as every part of the state is private property unless otherwise designated. Managing the feral hog problem here costs the state billions of dollars and is like trying to hold back the floodwaters by putting your finger in a collapsing dam.
It is funny, because just last week there was an article about them not all being blonde. Popular sentiment on HN was "that is strawman actually no one says they were all blonde and it would be dumb to expect them all to be blonde".

The argument was that given all the rape and slavery they engaged in, some gene mixing is to be expected.

If you don't learn proper technique but type often, you will organically develop some method of typing that may work for you.

But it's easy when learning a skill without guidance to end up into a local maximum. It's easy to end up in a situation where you're typing reasonably well, but could do way better with training.

I'd argue that typing occupies a big enough place in our life that we should be very efficient at it.

> I would never consider a state that didn't even have parental leave benefits, simply because I would rather my descendants live in a state with some level of protections for employees versus employers.

I can understand that, thought I don't personally relate. Once they're grown my kids will likely be able to live in whatever state they want, I just want to make sure they have a good environment for growing up. For me, things like school choice are more important (which California is actually pretty good on).

Also, I haven't personally been in a position where using the state sponsored parental leave made sense. Instead, a combination of saving up vacation time, working from home, and whatever benefits my employer provided for me made more sense. Not a complaint, just an observation.

> - which is often not good enough.

Except that it mostly should be good enough.

async-std tried to mirror rust's libstd, and tokio adapted it.

Similar the global `spawn` and the value returned from it work kinda the same +- some naming differences.

Even the `LocalExecutor`/`LocalSet` can be abstracted over to erase their differences.

That also true for all simple usages of timout.

The remaining differences are:

- different internal implementation details

- naming differences which are not that easy to abstract away

- some detail about time/timeout handling I forgot which for many use-cases doesn't matter

- the AsyncRead/AsyncWrite traits but this is going to get into std so this will go away soon

- some "advanced" features like the fact that tokio overlaps the non-blocking executor thread pool with a blocking worker thread pool, but that in many case not a very important feature.

- some differences in e.g. how to specify the number executor threads etc.

Most other differences are "old legacy left overs" from the pre-async/await futures time periode.

So while a generic in-language abstraction likely won't happen anytime soone one which uses feature flags and re-exports as basis should be very doable in the close future.

(I don't know how good the mentioned one is.)

The reason I reach for Postgres over MySQL isn't features or technical superiority. Although those result from the reason. Which is, PG devs consistently have "taste", they have "good" style. They make good choices. MySQL devs are not consistently strong in these areas. I'm guessing that MySQL is now so full of tech and design debt (like OP issue) that they're just stuck, without choice.
>criminal empires

True, you can’t stop math but you can try to police it. You can regulate consumer access. Doing so means one less “gone dark” area, which makes LE job easier.

>security exploits

To your point about low level criminals: Now that the cat is out of the bag, yes, surveillance worked way better when people didn’t know about it. Yes, more sophisticated criminals will try to employ their own encryption. If I were in LE or the IC, I’d still rather not deal with the oceans of data produced by essentially unbreakable encryption via big tech.

Will address point about uncapped value to an encryption exploit below.

>Snowden-style leak

Yes, which is why it is imperative to continually improve and audit such systems, including maybe removing such single points of failure as you noted, both from an insider threat perspective as well as from exploit discovery processes.

It would be helpful to consider how to build recoverable encryption in a way that minimizes the risks of the existence of the exceptional access mechanism, from all angles: technical, social, etc
I get what you are saying... but S7 is so simple to embed that yes, that would make a (minor) difference. It is really, really easy to embed. Like, takes 10 minutes to get going level of simple. So having to do nothing other than include one header and link one object file (or add to the build) is nice. I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other on the all-in-one-file issue, but as someone who uses it in an embedded context all the time, I'd have to say the fact that it's all in one makes zero negative difference to my work. And it's really nice to be able to just leave s7.h open and grep over it to figure out how to do just about anything. This simplicity can not be said about Chicken, Racket, or Gambit, mind you. (Guile though, also has a low barrier, I really like Guile too...)

Maybe it's the reddit filter but most comments seem to be jokes? I don't see comments attacking OP on the post you linked...

Now to address you actual point, what would a PR person do here exactly? "Tesla is investigating the issue and will not provide any comments at the current time"? They fixed the car so their internal metrics will ensure that whatever issue caused this will get fixed. It's not economically sensible to fix any percentage of cars right after delivery.

I understand that Tesla light passions and that PR has got (ironically) bad PR in the last few years, but I fail to see how your comment is related to the issue.

This is alluded to in Price #2: No Packaging. I’d argue that grouping functions into namespaces largely resolves this problem.

These two slides in the Clojure, Made Simple talk are my favorite counterpoint to even shallow objects being easier to work with than data. See starting at 50:00:

https://youtu.be/VSdnJDO-xdg

If you don’t want to click through, the list of HttpServletRequest methods is bigger than the map itself! Each one is its own little DSL, and they are not consistent with each other. To do anything with the data, you first have to figure out which method gets the bit you want out of the thing. And that’s a simple case—the complexity only goes up from there.

The map OTOH is just a map; you have hundreds of simple, composable functions that you can use to slice and dice the data however you need.

Want the keys? (keys request)

Want the keys of the headers? (keys (:headers request))

The user-agent value? (get-in request [:headers “user-agent”])

None of these are specific to a servlet request; they will work on any piece of data. And it’s trivial and transparent to build more specific functions out of them that fit your problem domain.

Very well put. The game is about concentrating wealth into as few hands as possible. If we allow it to continue in that direction, it will keep getting worse and accelerate.
If we allow the economic elite to have their way and we turn a blind eye to their manipulations, it will be a signal for them to dial up the manipulations even more.

If you are not sufficiently connected to the financial and political elite, you will eventually lose everything. It will happen in your lifetime.

I agree, a bug can lead to excitement. A bug somewhere deep in a framework that is now causing issues on production, no amusement to be found.
“fatigue” is one those symptoms that’s heavily affected by placebo/nocebo since it’s predominantly psychological.

Be very careful with how you phrase that. Fatigue is very much a physical thing, not psychological. It's just that medically, we have no way to quantify it, so it doesn't show up easily in lab tests. That does NOT mean it doesn't exist, or that it only exists in the head. (edit: and before someone says "lactate", keep in mind that that only measures muscle strain, one of the few forms of fatigue that we do know how to measure)

How people experience fatigue has a psychological component, but saying to someone who has been fatigued for years that their issues are predominantly psychological is very dismissive. Odds are they've been hearing that from their physicians for a long time already.

Holding title changes everything in legal terms, and since antitrust is a legal issue, that is what matters.

Retailers haven't paid for the products on their shelves.

Net payment terms aren't net of sale to customer. They're net of delivery to retailer. Some products sell before payment is due (i.e., perishable foodstuffs); many do not (i.e., electronics, toys, most non-food items). Title transfers before payment is due, since transfer of title is a huge consideration for a myriad of other legal issues, like product liability. Usually, title transfers when received by the retailer, but sometimes it transfers when handed off to the shipper. Actual timing depends on the contract between retailer and manufacturer, and there is an entire body of law dedicated solely to this.

Returns to manufacturers (for working/undamaged goods) are literally beside the point here, since they only happen for products that simply fail to sell through to end customers, even after substantial discounts by the retailer. Generally, outside of book sales, this happens rarely, and when it does happen the manufacturer almost always just provides discounts on other goods. (For books, returning unsold copies to the publisher is SOP, and the publisher usually takes them back and refunds the store because they want the store to purchase future books. Unlike other retail, book sales are heavily hit-driven and transient, so financial considerations differ.)

In the case of new products: for small manufacturers without a record, stock is usually provided on consignment with the manufacturer getting paid after units sell; for big/established manufacturers, the stock is purchased by the retailer at a substantial discount from wholesale price or for exchange of services such as marketing efforts by the store to move the product.

> Google only develop Android and Chrome to fuel their ad business, those two product can’t turn a profit on their own

The Google Play store has multiple billions of dollars of revenue. Revenue which comes from consumer spending, not ads.

An article from SensorTower (https://sensortower.com/blog/app-revenue-and-downloads-1h-20...) says that in the first half of 2020, people spent $17.3 billion through Google Play.

Assuming Google gets a 30% cut of all of that, it would be $5.2 billion of revenue for half a year, so annualized that'd be over $10 billion/year. Perhaps Google doesn't get a 30% cut of absolutely every transaction (different rules could apply to books, music, TV, and movies), but it gives you a ballpark number.

The Play store and the Android OS aren't the same thing, of course, but creating Android obviously helped put Google in the position to get that Play revenue. And if it were to stop developing Android, that would probably hurt Play revenue.

I can definitely confirm the issues. We had memory issues, stuck tasks and lost tasks (despite late ACK). It really requires a lot of fine tuning to get right. We started switching to AWS SQS four years ago and created a thin Django/Python wrapper [0] for it. Now we handle tasks in the hundred of millions a day and I don't want to think about how that would have turned out if we didn't switch.

But honestly, people working on Celery in their free time (i think) so who am I to complain. I can see that monetary support would be necessary to make it better. But in my opinion the project just got too big and it will be difficult to fix all the underlying issues.

I agree with the content of the article, but feel a summary is sufficient to get the point across. Beginning with a quote:

> If someone claims to have better information than a mainstream financial market on the value of Google stock, or of copper, they ought to either use this knowledge to make a huge amount of money or stop talking about it. However, it is not true if we are discussing prediction markets. Current prediction markets are so bad in so many different ways that it simply is not surprising for people to know better than them, and it often is not possible for people to make money from knowing better.

Ok so why is this?

- Betting markets are illiquid, there is not enough activity for good price discovery.

- Betting markets are capital inefficient. In real life I can short a security without putting up any cash up front, paying interest as my position ages. To make a x:1 return in the betting market I must collateralize (lock away) the entire "1" at the outset. Another example: Say I think Trump will make it to the end of his term as president, right now on PredictIt I can make $1 for every ~$0.80 bet. In real markets I'd sell "no" shares to collect the $0.20 premium for essentially free (if I'm right). On PredictIt I have to stake $0.80 upfront (by buying "yes" shares) for every $0.20 I want to make.

- Betting markets are EXPENSIVE. PredictIt takes a 10% fee on profits and then a 5% fee on all withdrawals. So not only do you have to be right, you have to hit it on a huge margin!
