No, shame is what prevents people from being psychopaths. You don't steal lollipops from children because it would shameful to do so. You don't trip old people because it would be shameful to do so.

Shame for things that don't hurt others is bad. Shame for doing things that harms others is good.

Have you lived in SoCal before? Because this reads as kind of naive about the traffic patterns down here. I'm not trying to discourage you or anything but there's a certain reality you have to be capable of accepting about driving distance to driving time in SoCal, otherwise you will be absolutely miserable living here.

I feel the same way about heat and cold. I actually lived in New Orleans for 3 years and, when I was in the city, it was pretty much a matter of going from AC to AC for multiple months a year. I didn't really do outdoor activities.

The one time I was in Austin over a weekend relatively recently--I had events on either side--I did go up to Fredericksburg one day but mostly I just hung out until evening when the bats came out.

The only thing that really bugs me about snow is commuting/traveling. Fortunately I don't have to commute any longer and, as you say, you can always add a layer or two.
I would say making people feel safe when using public transport in the US is harder than building a rocket at this point in history. And building rockets is still very hard.
If taxpayer dollars subsidize Amazon, and Amazon then offers things that are very valuable to those same taxpayers, they shouldn't feel guilty about buying them. Those artificially low prices are because of their tax dollars, after all.
It's almost as if some people get off on the feeling of self-importance they get for 'calling people out' in this manner- the neckbeards of accessibility. In an ideal world, accessibility would come for free - but unfortunately it does not.

Yes I would argue that morally projects should do their best to support it - but even at well established companies it takes significant resources to maintain accessibility. Yes in this case it may be as simple as using native Buttons, as the above comment said, 'that's as far as I got'. Just pretending that accessibility isn't a significant time an resources doesn't make it any less so. If this wasn't true then there wouldn't be legislation to essentially address this market-failure.
Being close to retirement age, one thought has haunted me the last few years: What if I'm bored out of my mind when I retire?

Well, it turns out that I have plenty of interesting projects and that boredom has not been an issue at all.
The difference is that wasm is designed to be sandboxed, instead of the JVM which was designed to normalize disparate computing environments. In practice, this entails a lot of work to create runtimes to do anything interesting in wasm, but the behavior is secure by default (ignoring side-channel attacks, of course). Java applets run in a sandbox by default, of course, but the JRE itself has unmitigated access to the host system, so the security boundary isn't as well defined. Users can also be tricked to trust malicious applets, which is a built-in mechanism to escape the sandbox; browsers hopefully will not provide this feature for their wasm runtimes.
I am utterly flabbergasted. Why is Mozilla being so dumb ? There should be no argument at all about delivering this feature. Are there people in Mozilla trying to kill Firefox ?

> Missing Easy Search Option for Finding Issues in the Project

Really? I think search is one of the most compelling features.

I find most of the time when I can't find something, it's because of different terms used, such as searching for "schedule task failing" vs the ticket saying "job run error". (Usually once I eventually find it I just edit the ticket to have the other keywords I tried)

The UI for selecting advanced search is acceptable.. it's not the easiest thing - for example searching open vs closed on GitHub is an much simpler - but it also exposes a lot more of the fields.

Personally I use the text-based JQL interface most of the time. It's very powerful, and as the name implies, anyone that knows SQL will find it familiar. A quick example, an easy way to find bugs closed in the version you're releasing but that weren't correctly tagged: `(type = bug) and (fixversion is null) and (status changed to closed after 2020-12-02)`.

And search you do is updated in the url (easy to share with others), and even better, if you paste that url into Confluence, it turns into an embedded dynamic list. This is great for release notes, or making category pages of certain types of tickets (eg: all open bugs related to feature x, or all bugs older than 6 months with more than a few comments, etc). Yeah you can build reports with this, but I find these are more accessible and used when they're organized within a logical structure in the wiki vs buried in a flat list of dozens or hundreds of other reports.
You don't want to sign Lin Clark for doing helping write these? If we could dream :)

I live in California, and when I got my first non-compete 25 years ago (out of state company, it was their standard hiring package), I asked my dads friend (a corporate council - aka an attorney who knows about this stuff) about signing it. His advice was to redline everything, sign it, and return it with the package. If the employer had balked he’d have written a letter in response, but that didn’t happen.

So that’s been my routine ever since - non-competes and any non-compete language get a red pen through them, signed, and returned.

I’ve never had a single company even mention it, let alone push back.
I only used JIRA briefly and it took up way too much time to adequately document our work. I didn't want to leave any work out as I wanted to show all the work being done. Eventually my manager just wanted some very high level stuff absent of any detail and it mostly died out. My new manager just wants a few bullet points once a week on what you've been up to. I feel like I can convey the same information in like 3 minutes instead of using a complicated tool. The advantage is JIRA automatically tracks this stuff for you as opposed to email.

I think it mainly caters to micromanagers and allows them to justify additional head count "look at how large our back log is". It doesn't matter that 99% of the backlog isn't very relevant work and hasn't been touched in 2 years for a reason.
thats one way to look at it.

However if you want your employees to grow, you need to teach, encourage, guide and in some cases tell them to stop.

doing this in a transparent and accessible way seems like a good idea to me
Scaling with common sense
> It could be the case that every message you send gets dropped due to a persisting partition and in such a case none would arrive, thereby violating the "guarantee" of exactly-once delivery.

That is not correct. All interactions between the client and the broker are performed in transactional units. If the transaction in which messages are sent fails to commit, then the messages are not sent, and all work is rolled back. Once a message is successfully send (that is, sent and transaction committed), it will be delivered once and only once to the receiver.

Likewise on the receiving side, a message is delivered and the encompassing transaction is committed once and only once. A message may be delivered more than once if the encompassing transaction is later rolled back due to say network failure. But a message delivery in a transaction that does not commit is not a delivery.

The benefit here is that application programmers don't need to concern themselves with message duplicate checking and the risk that duplicate checking is done incorrectly leading to bugs that are very difficult to identify.
The WashPo paywall is the worst -- it rewrites your address bar so you can't even bookmark the URL for later or copy/paste it to share. Really frustrating on mobile when you can be in an app that's not logged into WashPo. Why would the product team make that decision?
Yes, it's slow as balls. I run my own Jira for ~100 users and, despite throwing as much hardware at it and its PostgreSQL database as possible, it's still extremely slow clicking around and trying to use it. Database operations that would have been fast against simple MySQL 15 years ago on a single core server take seconds. What is it doing that makes it so slow?? The PostgreSQL server has most of the working set of data cached into 64GB of memory, for pete's sake, and still it's not enough to make it fly.

Cloud Jira is unusably slow in comparison, too, and when the Atlassian server licenses are not available any more (soon!) and we're forced with having to migrate, I'm not sure what to do. Bite the bullet and just accept the abysmal performance for an easy migration, pay through the nose for the Data Center license, or get people running on a new tool?
I wouldn't consider interactive step debugging an essential feature in large programs. My experience with C++ is that once program becomes "large" or makes enough use of threads, gdb falls over anyway and you're stuck with logging and "print" debugging anyway.

Heat Capacity and the Speed of Sound
By your logic every hardware vendor should pay for the development of all software (or at least all open source software) that aims to run on that hardware. Which is plain ridiculous. Apple is pretty collaborating in this transition. Not paying for development of every remotely popular project under the sun does not make them “noncollaborating”.

Apple ships a Python.framework and a user-facing python3 installation through CLT, so I expect them to contribute to CPython. And they did. They don’t ship anything remotely related to PyPy, so I don’t expect them to do anything. A gesture would be nice, but that’s being nice.
It sounds like your definition of stable applies to a very limited set of programming languages. The only thing I can think of that would fit that definition is C.

Have you seen how many new features have been added to C++20? (which is probably the closest language to Rust) Not to mention any of the dynamically typed languages.

Well sure but that's not what this UID scheme was designed to solve. It's an engineering trade-off. It doesn't mean it's bad it just mean it doesn't work for incredibly high throughput use-cases where things scale vertically instead of horizontally. That's fine.
A more statistically rigorous assessment of the odds of a lab based origin places the likelihood at 6%-55% [1]. However it understandably does not account for circumstantially suspicious behavior from China, which I would argue provides a significant signal.

> Why no love for global/static variables? I know they are prone to be misused

Rust doesn't deal with "prone to misuse" but "provably safe, else explicitly unsafe, or made safe by the programmer through wrapping code." Global variables are inherently unsafe and need to be wrapped as such.

Of course you'll need global state at some point in your life. What Rust does is yell to remind you that it isn't thread safe.

If you stop thinking about a Rust program as a script where the runtime figures the hard stuff out for you, then these design decisions make a lot more sense. You have a lot more knobs to twiddle than in C#, no garbage collector, and no runtime. The compiler is pretty smart, but it tells you the things it knows and you're responsible for working around the limitations to create sound programs that the compiler can optimize.

I haven't listened to this yet, but am wondering if the gender gap in teaching could be an issue?

I work in tech where the gender disparity between men and women is discussed very often -- but I don't see these conversations taking place amongst teachers, most especially for earlier primary education which is more female than male.

Maybe there is a bias here or maybe women teachers have teaching styles that resonate with female students more. It definitely needs more attention.
Fossil is supposedly an alternative to Git that keeps the PRs, wikis, etc in the repo. The big problem is everyone knows GitHub, but if there were a “FossilHub”, who would know? Not to mention that hiring managers and clueless recruiters only care about GitHub and nothing else.

What GitHub needs is a way to not just pull the repository’s code, but the entire repository (code, wiki, etc.)
> What does being MIT licensed have to do with it

It's a non commercial non government project.

> And please, don't anyone dare chime in with the the standard "if people want a feature in open source they can 'simply' implement it themselves".

Already talked about it in the parent comment, would be interesting if you could respond to that instead of asking nobody mention it.

> UI technologies that don't include accessibility are simply not good enough.

Agreed, most software is not good enough. Especially beta versions of personal projects.

> It's not like accessible options don't exist.

It's not enough for something to exist it has to be pervasive and perfect to not be caught in a project task list for something like this. This point is the topic of conversation.
The problem we have is that the lawyers for the government want to show victories quickly. They don't care about justice, and they aren't incentivized to prosecute tough cases where rich companies have dozens of lawyers and present roadblock after roadblock through legal defense. We literally need robot lawyers that will prosecute and convict people tirelessly and fairly.
There are hackers who did much less that got the book thrown at them and actually spent time in jail. Weev's case (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/07/weevs-case-flawed-begi...) is disgusting even though he was using AT&T's own APIs and actually didn't hack anything. Yes, Weev appears to be a horrible person but that isn't the point, the point is the law should be fair to everyone. If the Ticketmaster execs and those that hacked CrowdSurge don't see a sentence much harsher than this, it will be an attack against justice. But again, I don't think justice will be served because the prosecutors literally don't care about justice.
Meanwhile, multiple sources suggest that they are vastly inflated ;

" ... That, of course, can mean anything from having had a recent positive COVID-19 test (which may or may not have been accurate) to having tested positive months earlier to simply having been declared positive based on symptoms (with hospitals facing strong financial incentives to claim COVID-19 deaths).

For the sake of argument, however, let us assume that the CDC’s numbers are valid. Out of those 164,280 deaths, the CDC calculates that just six percent of them, or 9,857, were caused solely by COVID-19. “For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death,” the agency says. In other words, 94 percent of those who died with COVID-19 already had two or more other serious health issues such as hypertension or diabetes." [0]

I'm with you here - I find the UK much easier to drive around than Spain or Italy, at least.

Before I set out somewhere, I look at a map and scrawl on a piece of paper a list of the roads and junctions I need to use and after a brief familiarisaiton with the route visually, I rely thereafter solely on road signs.

Britain's got great (and beautiful) signage, in my opinion.

> Users can also be tricked to trust malicious applets

But the ability of applets to be trusted could have been eliminated entirely. To rewrite OP's question, then:

"If we had entirely gotten rid of trusted applets, couldn't we already do this with Java, 20 years ago?"

Of course, we didn't get rid of them, but that's still a valid question vs. inventing another technology.
Very interest observations, thanks for sharing.
Could it be that girls get tons of encouragement, accolades, and praise when they do something, but when boys do they're told it's just their privilege that made them succeed?

In our current school there are 3 STEM programs for girls, one that is for both boys and girls. One of the programs for girls is very well funded by local startup money and gets designers, marketers, etc to make them fun. The one for both boys and girls is volunteer run and while I respect and appreciate the effort, frankly it not fun and exciting at all. It's little better than someone just handing you a textbook to read.

I'm all for making STEM (coding especially) inclusive and welcoming for all. Nobody should face discrimination or harassment based on gender (or any other attribute). Unfortunately it's the boys getting the shaft right now. I can't imagine the outrage that would happen if someone started a "boys only" program, yet it almost seems like that's what needs to happen. We're back to the days of striving for "separate but equal."
I'm quite willing to bash the U.S. too, believe me. The massive corruption in their political system, the systemic militarization of their police, the wasteful social inequality are just the tip of the iceberg of internal issues. Problematic is also their pursuit of dominance by military force, their financing and arming of groups opposing legitimate democratic governments. And that's just the beginning of my issues with the U.S.

In general I'm very skeptical that prison operators should be able to "rent out" their prisoners and that companies should be able to make profit of prisoner's work. The potential for abuse is just too high. (Maybe in a country like Finland that has some reasonable ideas about reintegration of criminals, but even there I see the dangers of corruption.)

The global production chains have put workers in jeopardy of exploitation. As long as there are no legal means to force companies to take responsibility, they will not take responsibility. It doesn't matter if a company is from the U.S. from Denmark or Finland; if there's no accountability, the profit motive will overrule any ethical concerns. Because that's what these companies were created for in the first place; to turn a profit.

Here we have just one more 'externality' that companies 'socialize' in their quest to squeeze out ever more profit. In this case it's not clean water or clean air, it's the mental and physical health of fellow humans that for one reason or another have deemed disposable.

That countries and the governments - whose job it is to server all their citizens - are such willing participants in these atrocities small and large is just the bitter icing on this putrid cake.

Because you talk to and respond to people on this forum. You can't misrepresent what they write and call it "they snuck in a word". What kind of logic is that? To respond to some other claim from somewhere else on the internet, real or imaginary, regardless of what the person in question writes?

While I personally don't agree with your claim that "tesla categorically saying" those things, the poster still did say it even less.

This is what Tesla claim:

The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

You are welcome to present any links or quotes as to where you got the idea that Tesla claims that the vechicle is guaranteed to have FSD in some specific claimed time period (including a time period within each individual vechicle's lifespan).

I also personally know several Tesla owners and none of them interpret the company's claims the way you do. So who are all these people who you think are defrauded or lied to? Where are all the angry buyers who thought they were getting Level 5?
Some constructive advice, your homepage is messy, the ratios and spacing are really off and makes it hard to digest and focus on your features. This will directly impact your actual product.
