hey.com claims to have "fixed" email - I tried to find out what exactly they do to justify the claim but hit my timeout at about 5 minutes wading through vague testimonials. there's a 37min video that supposedly breaks it all down, I bailed about 5min in, afaict it's a just polished client.
Could one turn it into an infinite loop by sending an email with a reply-to at the same address?

> What type of living hell doesn't have version control?

I've worked (thankfully not as an employee) for a well known BANK which did not have any kind of version control whatsoever. None. Not even folders with dates.

"Where's the latest release?"

"Oh, it's in John Doe's flash drive over there"

I am not kidding.

After a lot of pestering by my company (which was working on a consulting role), they spent big bucks on some unknown version control system used by hardly anyone else. It followed the old Source Safe's "lock" mechanism. Except you had to use their own software and navigate to each file in question (no searching). Imagine how amazing it was to work on a java project and sloooowly open each folder in the reverse DNS package convention until you got to the file you wanted. Very slowly, because all actions happened on the server.

Later on they were bragging on how they were able to create a branch in less than a week. Merging was a day long affair with all code contributors present.

EDIT: still, that was over a decade ago. I didn't know there were companies involved with software in any capacity that still don't have version control in 2020.
Ha, yea. CA gun roster is a classic example. Don’t think the over-time defacto ban isn’t entirely intentional. Peak California.
Now I have not read the paper, but what the articles quotes seems to make some flawed assumptions, that you can measure the difference of effect of the flat tax era versus post flat tax era in these countries, is that even possible without speculation?

After communism these countries where left in very dire situation, their economies where not adopted for a market based economy, everything from diversified private companies, regulatory institutions, monetary policies, relevant tax codes, functional banking system, trade policies etc.

In that kind of environment it probably makes sense to introduce a flat tax, there is just too many unknowns. Initially you will probably experience a good growth because of high demand rebuilding when leaving the old system behind and of course high positivism of national sovereignty.

However as time goes by and your economy progresses and your economical infrastructure gets into place, why would you expect the same, high or low, growth as the early years? Your economy is not organized the same a decade ago, classic apples to oranges comparison.

Also, your national focus has probably shifted to other important areas now when you gotten the fundamentals in place. Over time, the initial assumptions changes about how things works, you can't get perfect regulatory bodies and monetary polices on the first try, so there is probably a lot of tinkering with the system as time goes by, why should the tax code be exempt from that tinkering? Why assume that the tax code was perfect on the first try but not the other policies?
How do you know that the lack of economic growth is due to the tax code changes and not the changes in monetary policies?

As I said in the beginning, I haven't read the paper so I can be mistaken. It probably answers a lot of these questions, but these kind of articles that quotes a few lines and then passed around on the internet as legitimate argument does not help.
This reminds me of one time when I finally got to shut down a particularly hated internal web app. For a few hours before the PHP server was taken offline, visiting the site would only return this image: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6OWKZqvvPh8/UjBJ6xPxwjI/AAAAAAAAO...

> Applications of Java and Rust do not overlap.

Both are general purpose languages, so of course they overlap.

> Good luck rewritting all the big data tools from Java (Elasticsearch, Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Neo4j, Deeplearning4j, Cassandra, Solr, Arrow, OrientDB)

Cassandra (https://scylladb.com) and Kafka (https://vectorized.io) have already been rewritten once in C++, with massive latency and throughput improvements. No reason why they couldn't get their superior Rust clones in the observable future.

Materialize (https://materialize.com), Noria (https://github.com/mit-pdos/noria), and Sled (https://github.com/spacejam/sled) are just some of the Rust database projects that are aiming at unseating the de facto standard implementations in the space. InfluxDB (https://www.influxdata.com) is now doing major Rust development as well.

The future is almost here. It's just not evenly distributed yet.
You're basically describing Officevibe.

It emails people with some frequency between weekly and monthly, and it only asks you a few questions every time. Mostly it's a 1-10 scale thing, with cute little graphics.

It also asks open ended questions where you're told the answers are anonymous. That's all well and good, but if your manager can't figure out who's who from the tone of the message, they're a new manager.

And sure, it sounds like a great idea to spot issues. The instant two managers compare scores, or worse, are compelled to compare scores, all bets are off on it's usefulness. Then when you have a meeting where a high level manager painfully asks for input on how to make things better from the entire team while going over each chart in painful detail, the clear goal every individual contributor has is to just pick 8 or 9 and make the stupid meetings stop.
It's cool! Commenting on the internet is hard! And not everyone will like Rust, and that's super okay. You may also end up trying it and deciding you don't like it. That is 100% fine, no matter what upvotes or downvotes say.

"made it seem" "suggested" "misunderstanding"

Disclosure: I work at Amazon where I build AWS infrastructure

This is where I think mindful investments in building and maintaining a diverse community of developers and users is especially important for a system component like a programming language. From my perspective, this is an important feature of Rust that we should seek to maintain (as I've mentioned before elsewhere [1]).

Overall, results seem inconclusive. I don't see that Hutchinson's result (frog becomes increasingly active as water is heated by 1°C per minute) contradicts Heinzmann's (no movement as water is heated by 0.2°C per minute).

Goltz's finding that "a frog that has had its brain removed will remain in slowly heated water" seems... unsurprising.

Compare typical features between men and women. Consider jawline, height, and facial/chest/arm hair. This is all sexual signalling.

Now compare those same features between yourself (an Asian male) and the typical norms for non-Asian males. Most likely you can see some differences. It is really unlikely that you are a tall man with a wide squared-off jaw and the ability to grow a thick beard.

So I think that explains most of your trouble, and also why your Asian female friends have no trouble. For future reference when you get to the chat stage: your "progressive and liberal values" are probably ideal... for getting into the friendzone. What people seek in friends, and what people claim to seek in relationships, may differ from what people are actually attracted to.
Global Patterns and Drivers of Bee Distribution
You're trivializing the value they provide. If mitigating large scale DDoS attacks was as simple as adding a few iptables rules they would have solved this weeks before paying AWS $3,000 a month for what is effectively an insurance policy.

The reality is that AWS has terabits of bandwidth and can mitigate these attacks upstream from your servers, which have bandwidth measured in gbps, not tbps.

So, unless you have a global network the size and scale of Amazon or Cloudfront, no, you can't just mitigate these attacks with a few firewall rules.
Thanks for the recommendation. I adored Monument Valley and would love more of it. It looks as if Mekorama doesn't quite capture the overwhelming charm that boosts MV above what is, at core, a very easy puzzle game. But it does look like it would be fun, and I'll give it a try.

The irony here is that the people independently adopted this because the government has been so corrupt. I know we can get into a debate about it being "true communism" but the people adopted this specifically because the government couldn't control inflation.

Now their only way out is through tried and true capitalist ideals of the free market. As much as governments hate dealing with unforseen circumstances, they can only control so much before they themselves become insolvent.

'renewables' are not a viable option for the energy requirements of large scale carbon capture. It's a massive rollout of nuclear (ideally fusion but fission is good enough), or nothing. The political unwillingness of western nations to roll out nuclear power is one of the biggest obstacles to realistically tackling climate change on timelines where it matters.

Forget Reading a Whole Book – Thoughts on the Behavior Model
There's no such thing as Postgres or Mongo developer. They are not programming languages.
Entropy is a phenomenon of probability. This is a very incorrect way to put it but it gets closer to the intuition of definition:

Disorder is more probable than order that's why things trend towards disorder.

However it is only a probabilistic phenomena so technically low probability things can still occur. This is what the article is saying and he proves it with a bunch of math.

But the above is still technically incorrect because Entropy has nothing to do with disorder per say. Entropy is defined relative to a "system" and we can actually pick different systems where as entropy goes up while things become more organized and more ordered!

Keep in mind that a system is as much something that exists as well as properties of something we can arbitrarily define.

Say a system of loaded dice:

If my system consists of 100 weighted dice that flip up at 6 almost every time then entropy is increasing as I roll all the dice but the system is trending towards order: more sixes facing up.

Another system that trends towards order is the solar system. Gravity pulls particles to form ordered circular orbits and ordered spheres/planets because that is the way the system is configured. You have a bunch of random atoms but like the weighted dice, gravity pushes the system towards order and organization. But entropy is increasing!

Ever wonder why people say entropy always increases but you see weird ordered stuff in nature all the time like snow flakes and crystals? In those cases entropy is still increasing but producing order.

Basically in the systems I described above Ordered configurations are More probable then disordered configurations thus while "order" is increasing, entropy is also increasing. Once you understand this you'll have a better intuition of entropy and why it doesn't have to do with "disorder."

When people talk about stuff like entropy always goes up they say things like whenever you see something self organize then something else in the universe must become more disordered don't know what they're talking about. Yeah entropy trends towards higher values but this is not equivalent to disorder.

As for life on earth. Life on earth is a low probability phenomena. Something else is going on in this case but that's another discussion.
can you expand on that saying of "fight scale with scale"?
Please use the right design idiom for the project unless it's literally make or break on performance, which should be very rare.

Is that a bad thing? Seems like Japan is a pretty nice place to live.
There's something about attempts at entropy that feels entirely inadequate.

The definition of "law" in science isn't something that's true, just something that we haven't observed any exceptions to (yet). However entropy, is in larger systems entirely unmeasurable as far as I understand (is there even a unit for it?).

Rather than tackle-these scientific shortcomings head-on, most tend to gloss over it. Perhaps a good place to start is to talk about the limited places we can observe it, and the logical reasons that our observations in these limited places must apply more generally. And then to explain whether a unit exists or not, why it matters so much.
