In my view, until you make $500-$1K MRR, do it safe without burning a lot of money. Once you hit your sweet spot of $1K MRR, doubledown on sales/marketing either by brining in someone or allocating more time yourself.
I think the criticism, “But you were writing C++ wrong” falls more than a little flat. The Firefox codebase may be old, but even with teams of good, experienced C++ programmers I still see memory errors of the type that Rust is designed to prevent.

Anyway, you are unlikely to avoid pointers completely in a good C++ codebase. Value semantics are very often the wrong semantics for the code you are trying to write. You can end up with dangling references as easily as you can end up with dangling pointers. If you use std::shared_ptr everywhere, then what you have is a slow & inefficient GC.

Let me tell you that most C++ game dev never heard of Rust, so imagine how long it's going to take for Rust to be something usable in that domain?

Right now in the real world of AAA games it is nowhere, it's not even a consideration so calling it "Rust Is the Future of Game Development" right ...

For those who don't work in games, the tech there move very slowly, it's not your typical SV "let's use the latest fun and cutting edge tech".

"Premium" is the key word here.

There was an article in one of the business magazines about a year ago about why so many fast food companies are adding meatless options.

It's not about health. It's not about choice. It's not about the planet. It's about money.

The menus need high-priced items and low-priced items to appeal to different types of customers. Most fast-food joints need a basic product they're known for, and a premium product that costs the consumer more and has a larger profit margin, that the average consumer might occasionally try.

The fast food companies can charge more for a meatless product, and reap bigger profits.

A little greenwashing doesn't hurt, either.

The federal government absolutely has more power than was intended. The constitution only allows the federal government to do very specific things. This includes the power to coin money, to regulate commerce, to declare war, to raise and maintain armed forces, and to establish a Post Office. Everything else is left to the states.

How many powers does the federal government have that are above those enumerated powers? The government we have is not what the constitution defines. It is what the constitution was designed to prevent. But, we have slowly marched towards a central government that the founders feared and warned needed to be protected against. A central government has a much higher risk of tyrannical control.

China has also done mass testing when their contract tracing broke down.

If we could get high compliance with isolation of positives, the US/Europe could use mass testing to "reset" without lockdowns. Test all of Michigan across a couple days and you will identify a significant portion of the infected. Then do Wisconsin. Encourage people to limit travel during those periods and so on.

Manager Advice: Prepare to Be Scrutinized
> if you implement something for me, you pay a hefty cost in time while my cost remains 0. So all the value produced goes to me, and you get very close to nothing.

I think this is the core of our disagreement. If someone makes a feature request, and I think it makes the project better overall and decide to implement it, I have benefited. I wrote the software because I wanted it to be good and useful, and they have helped me make it better and more useful.

If someone asks for a feature that only would benefit them, that's different, but I'm also not likely to implement it. Similarly, if I were getting a large number of unpleasant entitled requests, I might get grumpy, but having those requests come with payments attached wouldn't help my feelings much. I do this for fun in my spare time; I don't want it to be a job.

> If they are profiting off of the response and all you get is the work of answering, then no.

I disagree there as well. I'll answer if I feel like answering, and if they ask an interesting question then I'm happy to do that. It doesn't matter to me whether or not they make a profit from my response. I have several blog posts [1][2][3] where I would love it if someone would make a successful commercial product out of, since that would let more people use the tech, and if someone was working in this direction I would be happy to answer questions.

All those books definitely talk to some degree about those areas. I forget which ones, but they say the anatomy of the maxilla (the upper jawbone which forms the nose) is key to breathing. And dentists talk about a "constricted arch" which I think is a related issue. I don't think I have these issues so I didn't pay particular attention there.

The way I think about it is that breathing is a big geometry problem, and everyone is a little different, and every medical provider has their own viewpoint, and set of solutions they can apply. For example I don't think Nestor has the same problems that I have. He talks about his problems in the YouTube video and in the book.

So you will probably have to look around a lot. It's a big topic. But the common point is that almost all humans have problems breathing, but it manifests in different ways depending on the unique geometry of their head.

It's kind of like if you crushed 100 pumpkins, not all of them are going to be crushed in the same way, but they'll all have some problem ...

And it depends on medical history -- a lot of people seem to have bad breathing because of childhood orthodontic work.

e.g. I found this person through Google:

https://www.righttogrow.org/mf_s_story

When I was a young girl I had orthodontic extractions and wore a cervical headgear that pulled my upper jaw back and made my oral cavity much smaller than nature intended it to be. Before this treatment, I was a fit and healthy child who had no problems sleeping and waking up. After extractions and headgear, part of my vitality went away and I lived a life of constant fatigue, plagued with fainting spells and low energy for more than twenty years

Nothing can survive lies and dishonest tactics. If someone tells you from birth that Group X is inherently pure evil and that anyone who denies or doubts this is either woefully naïve or in the pay of Group X, you have no chance to survive without becoming Anti-Group X, regardless of what the real evidence about Group X is: You'll reject all evidence, destroy all relationships which might lead you to that evidence, and count yourself lucky that no Group X members can get close enough to you to infect you with their lies and various forms of evil.

Who? Science is a process, not a group, so who in specific has too much political force? Does everyone doing science have political force? Be precise in your language, please!

You shouldn't go into computer programming. Typical code looks way worse.
Entering a market that has economy of scale (serving 1000 users cost the same as serving 1 user) need a big marketing budget and a sales team and it can take years until you have enough users to become profitable.
So unless you have a lot of money beforehand compete at something that doesn't scale (for anyone right now). So it will cost the same ballpark to serve your first user as it will cost an established business to serve +1 user.
Eh, I dunno. "Turing complete" is a pretty easy concept to understand: such a language is capable of simulating a universal Turing machine. "Turing incomplete" could just be "not Turing complete."

It's pretty clear that this is a well-defined definition, because every computer language either is, or is not Turing complete.
This Month in Rust GameDev #15 – October 2020
If somebody wants to be a girl or a boy, or some creator wants to call their creation a boy or a girl - what's wrong with either? Again, we're spending a tremendous amount of energy and attention on things that future generations will laugh at. This is no similar than the billions of people who can't learn to wear a face mask properly. We're the laughing stock of the future. Should I refer to my boy or girl to they to be PC-compliant, too? How shameful is to associate your children with specific genders, right? As typical flawed humans, we're blowing everything out of proportion, we keep pressing and pressing, until matters burst into uncontrollable chaos!
hahahaha. Oh, wait. You're serious. Let me laugh even harder. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

For your edification, look up "malicious compliance".

I've never had speed issues with iTerm, but I'm wondering if there is anything else you like about alacritty that might change my mind.

Too many of us still fall into this Calvinistic work ethic that if we just put in the work the rewards will appear through some ineffable mechanism we don't (think we) need to understand. I am currently fighting this battle with myself on several fronts. That shit is hard, especially when you don't have a lot of role models.
(Shameless plug, I work at Blockstack)

Blockstack is working on a new version of our blockchain with smart contracting capabilities. We've created a new language, called Clarity, for smart contract development on our platform. It's lisp-based and is _not_ Turing complete. We believe that decidability is quite important for smart contracts. Algorand has joined our efforts, and they will support Clarity on their blockchain.

I am not involved with the development of Clarity, but I really enjoy writing smart contracts with it!

No. The work has already been done for all those things I want, I just can't utilize any of it. I don't want Apple to do anything other than allow me to install apps outside of the App Store and without the bullshit 7-day restriction on sideloading.

I know what I bought and iPhones are still the best option for my use case despite the limitations. Just because I decided to purchase an iPhone from the limited options (Android or nothing), doesn't mean I have to be head-over-heels in love with it and I can still be unhappy with certain aspects of it. I can still desire improvements to what I consider the best available option.

You can continue to try to do mental gymnastics and twist the contexts here, but you're bending over backwards to let Apple bend you over.

What's even more frustratingly absurd is that you think that you can "hack" your iPhone without going through Apple. The only way to do that is purchasing a Mac for around $1k and to get over the previously mentioned bullshit 7-day restriction is a $99/yr developer account.

Yes, definitely create an LLC (pass-through business). A business bank account (Azlo.com) helps keep things organized but isn't required. You take "owner draw" by transferring money to your personal bank account. Pay all expenses through your business bank account and claim them as expenses to reduce your taxable income. If your expenses are high, this could save you a lot of money on taxes. You can even amend past 2 years of taxes to retroactively claim these expenses.

Some things to watch out for with an LLC:

* Your taxes are no longer due in April. With an LLC you'll get a late payment fee if you don't pay "estimated" taxes by Jan 15 each year.

* You're taxed for any LLC income regardless if it's kept in your business bank account or not. Your business income is taxed on your personal taxes (pass-through business) unless you create a C-Corp, which means filing two taxes each year.

* You can't do payroll, take salary, nor get health insurance through an LLC. For that you need to classify your LLC as an S-Corp within ~75 days after LLC created.

* You have to pay a yearly business tax, sometimes hundreds of dollars depending on your state. Therefore, make sure you dissolve your LLC if you stop contracting.

I recommend Stripe Atlas for creating an LLC.

HP is literally the only company that I never heard anyone praise. Facebook is hated by the internet but plenty of people offline love it. Many hate Amazon but some can't stop loving the convenience. HP, though? Everybody hates them and it's always because of their predatory practices. The company is essentially running its name into the ground for no reason.

McDonald's had an all-veggie burger back in the 80's in the United States, but it went away.

I don't know if it was nationwide, or regional. It came out around the same time as the McDLT, which was awesome.

(As an aside, one of the things that has always bugged me about McDonald's is its menu inconsistency from market to market. The franchisees have too much power, IMO. I have to drive a few hundred miles each year to get McRibs because the local franchise owners won't carry it. And McRibs don't freeze well.)

>> If you started a business mowing lawn, cutting hair, you better be way past $1K revenue in 6 months.

Depends. If you are doing the mowing, cutting then i'd agree -- because it isnt a "product/platform/marketplace business" as much as a service, so you should earn the market rate of the service, less your independence discount.

If you are not doing the mowing, cutting but instead have a scalable business that could grow beyond the 24hrs you can work yourself, then you may not have made $1k in 6mo because you're investing for growth.

Since the article is about MRR, i'm assuming they are talking about the second category, which is true MRR.
With infrastructure, the fact that contractors and suppliers need to be paid today at least puts the debt on the books.

The cost of deferred compensation can be wildly understated for decades (and continues to be) by using erroneous investment return and mortality rate assumptions. Also, the risk of corruption remains for decades as you have a huge pot of money which many are fighting to get a piece of with little transparency.

No one actually considers the figures put out by IL/NJ/CT/Chicago and other distressed governments as accurate, and if they had to abide by the rules that non taxpayer funded entities have to, their debt would easily be 30%+ higher than stated (based on an assumption of a 1% change in discount rate moving liabilities ~15%).

I agree that politicians can also hide debt by not properly accounting for infrastructure and long term maintenance costs, and that is also a big problem.

What do you think a fraudulent ballot is? You can't just make a person up; there are voter rolls. Whatever means you find of coming up with a name and address that will be accepted as a vote, you have to do it (here, hypothetically) 16,000 times. If you use real people's names, which you have to because, again, voter rolls, many of them have already shown up to vote. The epollbook shows that on the screen, and you're standing there being asked for ID by a suspicious poll worker. Meanwhile, you would need thousands of coconspirators, and count on none of them ever leaking. You face the prison sentence to end all prison sentences (we put someone in prison in TX for years for casting an invalid vote accidentally) and, if you pull it off, you have... a chance? of altering the outcome if the election is very close?

There's a reason this just doesn't happen, and it's because it doesn't make sense. As a prediction: America is not going to spend a lot of time and energy making you feel safer about it.

My advice to you is, next cycle, sign up as a pollworker. It's so much more of a shitshow than you can possibly imagine, but I came away from it feeling paradoxically better about the process.
Let me tell you that the future of game development is in developing games, and any particular language has nothing to do with it.
