Conversely, outright ignoring recommendations about COVID or climate or something similar, simply because "science isn't always right" or because you "aren't a scientist" is a different thing altogether.

Isn't that a strawman though? How many people actually give an answer like "science isn't always right" when choosing to ignore recommendations about COVID? Perhaps it's the circles I move in, but most people who think COVID recommendations are junk (which doesn't mean they don't follow them) can give far more reasoned and deep explanations for their views than the people they disagree with. Absolutely standard to get an answer like "because I trust the experts" (i.e. "I have no idea") from people who are the most passionately in favour of masks, lockdowns etc. You don't see that in reverse, because people disagreeing with authority by definition can't make an appeal to authority.

The problem was that there were no dependency solutions at the time that really nailed it. Most systems used something similar to Ruby's Bundler system, which was terrible to work with. Personally I like that the Go team is patient and takes the long view when adding features to the core tool set and language.
That's the wrong approach -- you're going to want to be able to reboot (or replace) servers for security patches if nothing else.

But if you're regularly rebooting servers because they stop responding, something has gone very wrong.

I don't love Java like I love Clojure but I think Java may stage a comeback with GraalVM: it has cut down startup times to almost match with native C/C++ . I am taking all my java projects meant to run on AWS Lambda and am running it through GraalVM to cut startups time and also memory size.

I disagree, I think the tribalism is artificial and primarily bound the constraints of our ability to perceive reality due to our corporal form and its limitations. Fundamentally we're very empathetic but its all about being able to put the right information in front of the right people at the right time.

Its a matter of information logistics and applied correctly; people like people. Its when people quarantine information and selectively release it (e.g. only negative information) that tribalism can grow.
Speed humps make a huge difference. I lived on a road where it was 25 but naturally you would want to go 35. After installing speed humps people would slow down instead of coasting down a hill gaining speed.

I am a major fan of Rust. I upvoted your comment because it is mostly factual, and correct!

I agree that Rust is still early for most adopters.

There are a subset of people who need to solve problems that would normally be solved in C or C++, but they don't know or don't want to use those languages. Those people generally love Rust (I am in this camp).

Then there is everyone else, who either like Rust because it's a cool language, or don't for any number of reasons all of which are fine!
The notion that inequality is ok as long as everyone is getting wealthier is based on the fallacious assumption that people reason about wealth in absolute terms. Wealth is purely relative.

It's probably more useful to think about the problem in terms of social cohesion. As wealth inequality increases, social cohesion decreases---the wealthy dehumanize those less wealthy, and the less wealthy lose faith in the fairness of the system. Eventually you get to a point where the "poor" (who may in fact be quite rich, historically speaking) don't feel any investment in social order, and find it more efficient to take from the wealthy than to create new wealth, since the greater proportion of any marginal wealth they do create goes to the wealthy anyway.

See for example the Ultimatum game for a similar micro-economic effect, where individuals reject unfair outcomes even if it means losing money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimatum_game#:~:text=It%20wa....).

The wider aspect to this, is that this is occurring as part of the new governance system that is currently revealed. That is technocracy. Everything will be measured, and the system will self-manage and re-allocate resources as it sees fit.
I've noticed that Rust uses LLVM as well, but aren't there some significant compile time differences or am I recalling that from Go?

I do definitely wish there was an easier way to go about Rust's C FFI, though. LuaJIT has spoiled me. All you do is preprocess headers and then you have access to all of the exports without having to do any work whatsoever.

Show HN: Arnold's puzzle – a brand new math puzzle based on discrete geometry
I’ve seen this and I was so spooked that I uninstalled the app. I am not naive enough to believe nobody else does it, but it was just too egregious.
I was about to post that the article seems to consist of snippets gathered from elsewhere. The bit about using captured carbon to grow plants and carbonate fizzy drinks was the original pitch ClimeWorks AG had before they pivoted to seeking direct donations from the public. These are also uses of captured carbon that do not result in its long term sequestration and so are orthogonal to discussions about mitigating climate change. It'd be nice to have seen that noted in the article, and to see some sources cited.

One critical point that article does touch on is that CCS at the point of emission is regarded by some as an unproductive distraction and that money would be better spent elsewhere (I.e. switching away from the emitting activity). That debate is a microcosm of general analysis paralysis that crops up in discussions around reducing carbon emissions - we seem to have a propensity for getting stuck searching for 'perfect' solutions at the detriment of deploying things that at least nudge the dial in the right direction (merely 'better'). We can (I'd almost argue must) do anything we can agree as merely 'better' today and then do 'perfect' if/when that becomes possible.

Then again, green washing is a real and strongly incentivised phenomenon so agreeing even on what's truly 'better' is often not straightforward. At the very least I can say with relative confidence that quite often CCS = usually better and CCUS = usually green washing. But even then the devil is in the details - CCS might not be better once the total energy cost is understood or if those energy inputs are themselves not decarbonized or fully accounted for. Carbon use might be beneficial if the usage does result in sequestration for a significant period.
This idea is cool! How long do you plan to run the project?
I want to work for companies where the management knows that performance reviews and most other HR things are a bullshit formality. I should be continually getting feedback from a proper human relationship from my boss. If I am letting them down I want to know right away, not next quarter.

Most of these processes are designed to compensate for managers who don't know what the hell they're doing and shouldn't be in charge of anyone.
Everyone's definition of 'clean' will vary, but when I think 'clean' I'm also thinking clean code. Some of the examples of clean templates given in the comments here pull down 2MB over the wire, ~500k-1MB of which is frequently JS, and that's before I've written a single line of custom functionality myself. For reference, React + react-dom is ~35kb gzipped.

Does anyone have any examples of templates that focus on clean, lean code as well as final layout? I'm thinking framework-agnostic low-to-no JS, coupled with something that doesn't use thousands of lines of CSS for a homepage layout.
Not everyone has a vested interest.
The meme of the Rust Evangalism Strikeforce exists for a reason - because a person can't say anything remotely uncomplementary about Rust without getting dogpiled and downvoted into oblivion.

The Rust community has proven itself, outside of the Rust specific forums, to be exceptionally elitist.

And, as shown in a sibling thread, the founders of Rust are right there on the dogpile attacking the character and dissecting the comments of any dissenters.

Just curious, how well-known is jane street outside of the OCaml world?
Yeah you're not alone. Have you used concepts at all yet? Rust's generics are similar to, but different than, C++ templates generally; concepts is the closest thing C++ has to them. That being said, even when you understand them, you can create some monstrosities, just like C++.

To connect it back to your original questions, Rust relies heavily on generics because if you want runtime performance, but you also want safety, you pretty much need ways to evaluate safety at compile time, rather than runtime, so you don't have the overhead of runtime checks. This basically implies generics need to exist and be used heavily.
Positioning jokes aside, learning CSS is easy.

Where most of us developers struggle with is making beautiful websites vs just something that works but looks ok.

One of the reasons bootstrap is so successful is that it's easy to use/integrate and produces a website that is very pleasant to look at.

Can someone explain the seeming asymmetry between men's and women's experiences in online dating?

Average looking and better women seem to get huge amounts of matches: if you're better than average this can be hundreds per day in a big city.

Going by my own experience and friends experiences, as a guy, even if you're better than average looks with a good job, nice photos etc, are lucky to get a handful of matches per week.

So what I don't understand then is if all these women are getting huge amounts of matches, how can men be getting less matches? Is it literally only the top 0.1% of men that are getting the majority of the matches?

i.e. are women who are say 7-8/10 on the looks scale only matching with guys who are 9.5/10 on the looks scale, so guys who are 7-8/10 getting zero matches?
To expand on this... there are virtually zero intentional homicides at gun ranges and gun shows where hundreds of weapons are present.

Also all gun laws are discriminatory toward the poor and minorities disproportionately.

I was wondering how one could come up with a brand new puzzle like 2048 that would be interesting and exciting. It seems like I succeeded in developing such a puzzle.

Arnold's puzzle is based on open mathematical problems in combinatorial geometry. Related topics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobon_triangle_problem

Given a small number of lines, one can solve the puzzle by randomly trying. As the number of lines increases, the complexity of the game grows not only quantitatively (you have to go longer to the goal), but also qualitatively: you have to invent new techniques and approaches because the old ones are not enough.

The game feels like a jigsaw puzzle, each piece of which fits any other piece, but the overall picture does not add up.

Are you the only "Engineer" or the only "Full-Time Engineer" (i.e. employee)?

First, neglecting meetings is a huge miss. If you believe they are unnecessary, it's your responsibility to explain why, and to provide a work-around to your other team-members so they can get what they need.

Second, your question about production ready vs hackathon is a classic tradeoff with startups. There was missmanaged expectations around creating a Minimum Viable Product, vs a production ready system. Somewhere your team and yourself did not have aligned understanding of what was being delivered.

Third, did you speak to your team about their perceived value of things like meticulous ticket tracking, well maintained rep, monitoring etc? Those things do matter in the long term, but reductively in the short term, unless your business is going to generate money from your issue tracking work et al, it's a waste of time.

Ultimately it comes down to your ability to make the case as to why the time spent on the work you did, ultimately impacted the business at it's current state.

From what you wrote, while you weren't slacking off, you spent a non-trivial amount of your time on things that were not of value to the business.

Did you have anyone on your team with startup development experience?

Right, and their issues there all pertain to interoperability, not to issues with the Rust language and its implementation. They seem to view Rust as production-ready, and a language that would bring relevant benefits to the Chromium project, were it not for the C++ interoperability difficulties.
>My assertion, paradoxically, is that polarization has greatly diminished the quantity of information being produced and consumed via today's press despite the sea of content they produce.

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.

Noam Chomsky

I agree with Chomsky here.

>In today's polarized media, each side of the media discourse has established its perspective, and the content they publish conforms to this perspective.

"Each side" is very interesting. The sentence is far more accurate when you remove "each side" The US media is tremendously uniform. There is no side here.

This level of uniformity cannot come about naturally.

>"A free press is one of the pillars of democracy." - Nelson Mandela

The interesting thing, people have started to realize how bullshit journalism has become. Suddenly big tech is going ham with censorship basically implementing the same uniformity.

As we can see, there's no free press. There will be many who will try to justify why there's no free press.
> A superintelligence could identify 0-day exploits and quickly spread across thousands of computers and thus render itself immune to your idea of just switching it off. What do we do then?

How about simply pulling the plug of the computer or even just the network cable?

More to the point, how would an AI even learn about such mysterious exploit if it doesn't have access to an external network in the first place? Even run-of-the-mill supercomputer centres aren't directly connected to the internet for security reasons, so why change that with a potentially dangerous computer program?
I think I want any effort of this nature to be open source and managed as a public good. Nothing against MS specifically, but I think the only way to get broad acceptance of results is transparency.

Perhaps, but I've yet to see evidence of needing any level of sophistication beyond "move the mouse" just to show you're online and in most companies that's even overkill as 15 minute breaks are typically not an issue. If they are, time to look elsewhere.

I created my program because I had a ruthless boss at the time, but I don't think any spying was ever going on. I use it now out of convenience when I take extended breaks and peace of mind from potential jealous co-workers complaining I'm not online when I should be or something stupid along those lines.

It could be personal preference, but I've found that since iOS7 or so it's actually become worse. Since then, I've found autocorrect and other text input related actions like selection and moving the I-cursor around became much more frustrating to do. There have been various tweaks since then, but it's never felt as seamless as it did in earlier versions of iOS.
This reminds me of a Burning Code celebration my team once had at ocean beach in SF.

We'd been slowly migrating from Angular 1.X to React (internally: the Angularpocalypse) for a few years and we'd finally migrated over our last few pages. The result was about 100k lines of JS and Rails code that could be safely deleted in a single PR. It had been such a long slog, though, that we felt the team deserved some catharsis.

We took a team-offsite day to gather on a nearby beach and burn the deleted code. In the interest of not wasting that much paper, we burnt a complete list of the deleted files in super-tiny font on a couple pages. We also each grabbed our least-favorite areas of the codebase to print out, including several dramatic readings. My selection was a section of code from about 4 years prior with a comment like //TODO: replace this asap.

I highly recommend it to anyone facing a long, clearly-delineated migration. Gift your old, shameful code to the flame.

Hi all,

City Guesser is a side project of mine that I've been working on, on and off. I had a lot of fun doing it, and I wanted to share with this community.

The game is deeply inspired by GeoGuessr (streetview guessing game). The site uses leafletJS maps and OSM tiles. To show video, I utilize the YouTube embedded player to embed walking videos into the site.

Hope you guys enjoy.

All I have are second-hand accounts as to why. They have a sizable Siri team in Boston and a good friend of mine interviewed there. This friend asked a number of questions regarding tech stack and their SCM only to discover what a complete mess it was. It was enough so that he was turned off by it. Again, second-hand account. It leads me to suspect that the struggle has always been to technical issues rather than product.

It also might be that Apple hasn’t seen voice control as an area of growth or enhancement to experiences long term. Maybe those who have Alexas and all of its processing capabilities end up just using it for timers and dictionary definition lookups.

You can't beat their model because they don't include all the data they use in the competition dataset. It's a highly sanitized and simplified toy problem used for hiring and marketing.
