So, Apple got swift, Google got Dart and Go, i guess Amazon is trying to "have" rust ?

I hope Amazon will keep the open source nature of Rust. This post is obviously from an engineer, but i fear the day business people will start looking into ways to leverage the contribution Amazon made to Rust.
> The elephant in the room not addressed in this essay is the widespread use of bad faith arguments, and the absence or dismissal of evidence in preference of beliefs and feelings

This highlights both a problem an opportunity. How many people know how to make a good argument or how to spot one? How many know what good evidence looks like or how to spot beliefs and assumptions making their way into something?

I would argue that many don't know how to spot or make a good argument. That they can't spot assumptions or what make for good evidence. People are taught something very different and it shows.
In the US they have to apply for it to be over the counter and pay a bunch of money in studies. It's a pretty expensive process.

So, in the US it's over the counter if people will seek it out. This way they can charge more. If it's not over the counter it's something generic that people will not go out of their way to a doctor for. In the last 10 years in the US I think the only prescription drugs moved to over the counter is allergy medicine, which seems to fit this pattern: People will not go to a doctor for seasonal allergies typically.
> The only legal option I can see is "move out of CA", which probably means get another job. Which, you know, people sometimes do if they feel strongly about the right to carry, but likely wasn't in his set of considered options.

You didn't consider "report it to the DA, state police, or FBI" as an option?

I absolutely did not read this in the GP's post. Whether it is what he meant or not, it's an ungenerous take. A more generous take is that with the resources available to him, reporting a bribe solicitation to the appropriate authorities is much less risky than it would be for (say) a random citizen of San Jose.
We do need to remove emissions, but we're likely past the point where that will be enough. We've already triggered too many feedback loops. We have to do all the above and more.

You don't seem to understand what my claim is, and your example was just speculation that doesn't reflect reality.

I never said there were goal-posts... if anything I said they couldn't exist, and even if you could score, you'd get points in the wrong game.

Your comment seems to assume that your use case “big data engineer” is the only use case or the only Java use case and that the only context in which Rust can grow is to rewrite the existing tools that you use today (as opposed to greenfield projects like firecracker or bottle rocket). Your edit also writes Rust off as “idealistic” and not “pragmatic” without support, which is very far from the impression I have (based on my usage and seeing it used in real applications). In general, your comment seems like generic programming language flamebait.

There is only so much information that a single brain can analyze and parse. This is why decision makers employ a team of brains to parse it for them, rather than attempting to do it all themselves. Delegation has very significant performance advantages. More screens isn't the solution -- better parsing and analysis is the need.
Don't ask them what they want, ask them what problem they have!

That's your job, as a founder, to design a solution that fix the problem. (It can be as small as a landing page with your value prop on it and some fake demo)
I haven't used it myself, but my understanding as an outsider is that a lot of the excitement around Rust is that it's bringing a new model of memory safety: with the borrow-checker, you can avoid the performance penalties of garbage collection, while also avoiding the bugs and security risks seen in C.

People who care about such things are really hyped because it's a truly new idea in a mainstream(ish) language.

I think combining peat bogs with plantation forests might provide a workable solution. Trees sequester best early in their lives when they're growing fastest iirc then cut them down and place them in a bog where they don't decompose.
They probably do. Unfortunately, the mechanics of Reddit favor any random dope posting something that is exciting and sounds good over smart and careful people taking their time to make sure they get it right.

And of course, "Hey guys I've got it, this is totally it!!!" goes up much faster than "I found something that might be interesting, let's check it out, but I'm not sure yet, so don't anybody go off half-cocked".

The newsletter part is what I was driving at. If they host that sort of thing, then are they lumping in private newsletters or mailing lists for sexual abuse therapists (or survivors) with unabashed pornography?

This is just one reason why people should not eagerly condemn everything that is "sexually explicit" and hand-wave it away ("Yuck, of course no one wants anything to do with that.")

On a site called Hacker News, people should grok that, but the audience around here isn't what it once was. Do you people want Gilead? Because this is how you get Gilead.

I can't disagree more. Stuff like minecraft(which I assume you mean) just have no lessons to teach. They are great games. But they can't grow beyond that. They can't be masterpieces precisely because they don't tell a story.
I recall that. At the time I knew someone who claimed to be in contact with the perpetrators, and I had heard that the city made an arrangement for a permanent installation of that piece.

My comment in on point, not off-topic. I had no intention to "hijack" the top comment, didn't even think about that until I've seen your comment. I don't see Rust as a replacement for Java and I also pointed out that Rust has to win the mindshare of C++ programmers first, before even reaching other ecosystems. Rust is mainly a replacement for C++.

I've tried cricket bars before, they tasted quite good. I just wonder though, why not make them out of a vegetable protein like pea or oat protein instead? That way they could target the vegan market too.
> but still came away with the feeling there was literally no one using Servo

Code from Servo is in every single copy of Firefox, so it's pretty popular as code goes.

> And I find it wholly unappealing to abandon the existing corpus of literal decades of knowledge having been poured into those language ecosystems all in the name of whatever it is that Rust delivers on. I just have too much experience in the industry to throw away my time and play with toys.

Rust doesn't throw away that corpus. Rust draws heavily on that corpus. It leverages LLVM (used to compile C/C++), integrates with C libraries, integrates with GDB, draws a ton of design decisions from actual experience using C++, and so on.

It's a tool that runs inside Firefox, AWS, Microsoft, and a lot of other high-reliability, high-performance areas. It may be young, but it's quickly building (IMO compelling) evidence that it's very much not a "toy." ;)

I honestly have never done cooperative multitasking, but I think cobegin/coend were:

coend

when the construct is entered a b and c were all executed in parallel.

My thought was that a construct like that would be clumsy to do with library-based multitasking

Network effects are why even big players like Google fail to compete with Facebook or WhatsApp. Network effects are much more powerful than privacy concerns and stuff. Without a brilliant strategy to win market share, no technology can win that race. Embracing niches (universities or other special interest groups) and expanding from there seems to be a way to go.

>Make me think. Little learning curve is OK..

The same argument I used to hear when User Interface was transitioning from command line to GUI for many enterprise applications. The inherent flaw in the article is that the author assumes that enterprise users are "power users". Most often they are not, their job is to sell a product or monitor a process or ensure that bugs are getting fixed on time so that a product can be shipped.

They use software to achieve a particular objective, software is a tool not the goal. Tool should be as easy as possible and as idiot proof as possible.

And also, it is not that enterprise employees are lifer. There are attrition, people leave jobs, new ones come in, process changes, new methods are introduced etc.

> However, while Wizards and guided tours are an excellent solution for casual users, it’s not necessarily the case for power users

There is literally a multi $billion company who makes guided tours for enterprise software.

WalkMe is seeing increased growth as of late.. it is now valued at or more than about $2 billion. And, the startup said it surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in the second quarter.

That's what I meant by legal, unscheduled.

Technically they don't go after buyers for unscheduled drugs. If you buy in bulk large enough that they suspect you're a seller, but don't have any reports of you being a seller they'll give you a love letter which is, "We confiscated your package. Don't do it again." and that's the max penalty for buying 4-aco in the US. If a law is unenforced in the US, it is legal. To prove it is enforced if they ever want to go after sellers, they have to capture multiple sellers at once in bulk to prove there is no bias. The legal system is interesting in the US, isn't it?

Also, where I live (Oakland) it's totally outright legalized, so no problems.
Does this mean the "Media Guidelines" is going away? If we want to redistribute cargo or rust with some patched changes, I'd like to be able to do it without coming back and asking for trademark approval every time. Even if the resulting binary says "unofficial/unsupported build".
You are not alone. I think the use of method chaining especially takes away from the aesthetic of newer programming languages.
I've noticed a variety of small support vehicles in old city centers of Europe. Think of a small parts truck or forklift you might see in a factory. They're be sized to fit on sidewalks and between bollards. Larger trucks/vans unload as close as possible and these support vehicles handle take over for the last few meters.
How do you handle CSSOM changes which don’t generate mutation events?

I wrote a similar library and this was a pain for react-native-web apps, eg Twitter.

Nested iframes were also an issue, since the recording script needs to run in a context with access to all frames, in all origins. (IIRC you have to disable site-per-process in Chrome, at a minimum.)

Agree with you.

I think extreme capitalism has driven greed to a point where people no-longer consider the ethical or social issues as they do not contribute to the bottom line.

However i do have faith that more emphasis is being put on the climate and people are gradually changing behaviour to prioritise industries helping transition to a net-zero society.

The screenshots thing came to my mind back in 2010 when I worked at Intel and we were never quite sure how they monitored us. I created my own C# application that with calls on user32.dll. It not only move the mouse and perform clicks, but it's also named as a vendor utility (e.g. LenovoUpdates) that can be minimized to the system tray. I use it to open up various programs (email, browser, code, etc.) and I get to define where it clicks and how long in-between each set of clicks. If you were to open it up, you'd have no idea what the hell it is. The buttons are so generically labeled and the saving/loading features are done using F-keys. Still going strong after 10 years :)
Some subreddits are super hard yes (like /r/roastmystartup), but that doesn't mean that all of them are!

The phytoplankton back adapted to the high acidity.
The phytoplankton we have today evolved to fit our current acidity.

They are two entirely distinct sets of species that evolved to optimally adapt to the conditions of their time.

But now we're changing the acidity of the oceans at a much faster pace. In a matter of years, not millennia.

The plankton does not have the time to adapt to these conditions and will thus die. Just like we've already seen in coral reefs.

The population will rebound eventually, but that again, will probably take millennia.

Humanity will be reactive but hopefully some of us can be proactive.
In my opinion, it's a nearly impossible feat, but possible. I think the only way to get it to work is to generate an organic base that loves it and shares it in that same ilk. It had to get started somewhere and we got there. Our first concern was, once people got on would they like it? The answer thus far was yes, our percentage of daily actives was nearly triple what we thought, given no critical mass. The next question is, getting more people on. It's been growing well enough organically the last 24hrs but this very question is really one I don't know if there's an answer to yet, and maybe we're going to answer it here.

Because gboard predicts email addresses, and I have several Haskell-related mailing lists in my whitelist, gboard always tries to autocorrect "Haskell" to "haskell-mailing-list@..." when I am trying to text my pal about Haskell questions, so I get messages like (because I sometimes just swipe and send, without checking the message, like a moron):

"Hey, do you know in haskell-mailing-list@something.org if the Prelude..."

So, now I've turned off EVERY bit of AI bullshit everywhere, and I deal with mistakes myself.
I wish people had a better sense of this earlier social arrangement.

I think some of that has to do with the everreal presence of government in today's day and age. In the wild west, well it was the wild west. Other than the long arm of the law there was very little government or regulation, people did not feel the need that the founding fathers did. In all reality they were pretty free.

Contrast that with today and we have moved more and more issues to the federal level, we have pretty much abandoned the republic for an empire and now we are pushing social issues and regulation to a federal level. This does not end well, it never has.

When we has 50 strong independent governments that had more to do with peoples day to day lives and the federal government just stepped into the states business or rights issues, people had 50 shots at finding a representative government. Not so today, as more and more, the states (governmentally) look like cookie cutters of one another. I think this has set the "all or nothing", "I am not giving one inch" mentality that pervades discussion today, on almost every subject and it is coming from both sides. At a certain point, one side or the other is going to believe they need to stand up to federal government, because they no longer have a representative government and the ones that have guns tend to be of the mentality that those chickens are coming home to roost for their side.
> It could literally lead to revolts.

Forget the third world altogether, it has already led to revolts in France, the entire movement of the yellow vests is based on rural low middle class people revolting against the state for an increase in fuel taxes along several older other sticking points

But, if you want to sell this idea to the people, give it the nationalist spin, say that the country is suffering as a consequence of dollars escaping from the country per the subsidies, and subsidies have to be changed/reformatted to help the nation itself, etc, etc

E2E Encription with Rails and Stimulus.js
The following two articles I read earlier are not analyses of these laws specifically, but I found them useful to understand a little bit about the French perspective:

• One of these two — https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/caroline-fo... (“Why the American Press Keeps Getting Terror in France Wrong”) and https://unherd.com/2020/10/why-is-the-anglo-media-portaying-... (“Why is the Anglo media portraying France as the villain?”) — points out ways in which the English-language media seems to have a different perspective from the French. For example, after a sword-wielding maniac decapitated a teacher on the street and was shot by the police, the New York Times framed it in the context of ongoing American conversations about police violence, emphasizing the police response more than the beheading (original headline “French Police Shoot and Kill Man After a Fatal Knife Attack on the Street”).

• This one — https://unherd.com/2020/11/the-age-old-clash-between-islam-a... (”The age-old tension between Islam and France”) — takes a longer view, and it does not take the position of saying that Islamic values are against obviously-good French values: it shows how French/Western values have also sought to impose themselves on the Islamic world in an uneasy way, starting from when Napoleon took to Egypt “a printing press, a hot-air balloon and a small army of intellectuals”.
