Sadly, this isn't true. As quickly as the old idiots realise that their actions are futile, new idiots are born to repeat their mistakes.
It makes sense to me. Where’s your supporting evidence that these statements are “counterfactual”?
>the West still has a responsibility to pioneer technologies that can ultimately be transferred to the planet's largest polluters.

Or we could stop outsourcing production to those polluters, and do it in countries with better environmental standards instead. It is confusing to me that this isn't the #1 goal of environmentalists right now.

When will those technologies be invented? How long will it take to get them to be used globally? It feels like every few years we're given a new cutoff date for a serious course correction to prevent massive, irreparable climate change from occurring. Do we have enough time? Why do we seemingly prioritize the development of third world economies over climate action?

Allowing non-competes or forbidding them is zero-sum when it comes to how free the market is because of them. People have taken a mechanism for pricing goods in an economy and perverted it into some aspirational metric for economic correctness. So people on both sides try of an argument try to claim their idea is more "free market."

Non-compete enforcement is largely pro- or anti-labor, but even that is a little disingenuous because non-competes also prevent companies from hiring labor with specific expertise. Whether they are enforced or not, the labor market will gradually shift to accommodate either position. If the market can adjust prices in response to some event, then it is a free market.

There is literally no scalable strategy for this, and no serious combination of strategies. Really. Nobody who actually studies this (who's not also trying to profit) thinks there is. Do the math on the world economy continuing to double every <20 years. Or maybe check out the book I shared above, it's really very good.
Yep. Actually we have a C helper per instruction and generate IR blocks full of CALLs to such helpers. Then the inliner and other optimizations take care of doing their work.

Anyway, if you never used LLVM, be ready to spend some time getting familiar with its IR and its C++ magic (though as a user I never had too much trouble... and I'm not a C++ guy). The documentation is also not very helpful, but the examples are good enough to get you started. The ORCv1 vs ORCv2 thing is kind of confusing sometimes.
They should really just say "less infrastructure".
Ok, when I say mathematically consistent I don't mean it in an axiomatic sense. In fact, like you point out there is a lot of unanswered questions even within quantum field theory whether or not it's mathematically well defined. In fact, one of the millennium prizes is related to this.

When I say mathematically consistent, I mean it in a looser sense. If we take a step back to before string theory, there was no way to get consistent results from quantum gravitational calculations. The usual tools that we use to renormalize quantum field theories do not work for gravity. This suggests that there's some type of "ultraviolet completion" of general relativity. In other words, the theory of GR ought to come with some implicit energy cutoff beyond which the theory somehow changes. String theory is such a change in that the stringy corrections to GR would only come into effect around the Planck scale. It's by no means necessarily the unique such completion, but as of now it's the only one we know of.

As to your other point, I think it's a good idea to reframe the work done in string theory as (what I used to joke) "theoretical theoretical physics". In other words, it may be the case that string theory is a true theory of nature, but even if it isn't, the theory lets us explore what such consistent theories could look like and how various paradoxes (like the information paradox in black holes) get resolved. These types of insights may point us in a direction of further investigation that may very well fall outside string theory.

In other words, at the very least (and I personally think this is underselling string theory by a lot) string theory is a proof of concept and a very powerful, sophisticated, and rich arena in which we can begin to understand the salient features of quantum gravity. One such example is AdS/CFT.
It might be worth separating the different improvement areas by section to let people zoom in on what they care about.
Right but as a general rule you'll mostly only be using `s.into()` to get a `String` from an `&str`. Or `&s` to deref `String` to a `&str`. I'm not sure why this would require a crate to handle?

The other ways are more "advanced", for when you're dealing with (for example) potentially unsafe coercions or you don't want to rely on inference for some reason.
I don't get the point of this article. What they achieved with the RAMEN service can easily be achieved by anyone using gRPC. At the very end of the article they even talk of a version 2 of their service which uses gRPC and seems promising.

I'm wondering if the JS compile target could be used for debugging, at least in cases where it's the general logic of the app you want to debug and not some native code -specific bug.

Ah, yes... and 640kB of RAM was supposed to be enough, too. Or 4B IP addresses.

If anything, my experience is whenever somebody sets close hard limits like that somebody else is going to pay for it.

The service I work on creates up to couple millions of unique objects per second, on a single node in a batch process. It tries to do a large batch of work as fast as is possible. It fetches I think something like 2GB of data per second from MongoDB node, processes it and creates up to 5 million objects in span of 2-3 seconds. We also have realtime services that are about 20-30k TPS per node.

We are currently using MongoDB and it uses plenty bits for that:

The article states:
>"These polling APIs ultimately just became a set of payload sharded APIs for the app to poll its features."

So here's the key.

It's kind of like in matt ridley's "the rational optimist" - in trade both sides think they're suckering the other side.

Yes, "individual contributors" have little power, sometimes get a little less compensation, and have to do the work.

But I've seen plenty of younger folks put in management positions. Instead of playing around with the technology that brought everyone to the company, they get suckered into bugging people and asking for status. They get to hear people's complaints about inconsequential things. They get to run meetings and juggle deadlines in spreadsheets and shitty enterprise apps. And they can't be always be friends with their tribe.

Back to individual contributors - they get to be less responsible. They get to play with stuff. They are more likely to be able to leave it at work. If they can't do something, they can ask for help. And they can "be normal" with the rest of the team. They can make jokes that arent' taken seriously and even spend time with others outside work.

Now where it could go wrong is power. If all of this becomes a power relationship it might suck. so don't make it that.
Yes, probably. And cars should be geofenced and speed regulated on public roads, too. Once you have the technology to make objects that can’t break the law it’s hard to think of an argument for allowing versions of them to be made that can. It really boils down to this: at the point of manufacture you have to choose between making a version of your product that can break the law and a version that can’t; I’d submit that this is an easy choice.
Not really, one is an emotional capability, the other is being selfish even though they understand that it's hard for other people without money.

Everything worked great for me, its why I was surprised to find a somewhat rude link as the only comment once I'd read the article.
I would imagine it's not mentioned because those costs are somewhat negligible compared to the positives of being a tall man. The things you've listed seem pretty trivial to be honest, and I imagine any man shorter than 5'9" would trade positions with you in an instant. It's like listing the bad parts of having more money, sure nothing is ever 100% positive but when it's 99% positive, it's not always worth mentioning the negative 1%.
If it has been replicated many times then you know whose fault it is.
Who was making this point that I supposedly missed? Where we are in the conversation, your problem has already been addressed, and part of the solution has been to overprovision renewable generation such that we have excess electricity at many times, amounting to 50% to 200% of current electricity usage.

The problem you discuss has been addressed with tons of predictions and models. It's solvable with excess generation capacity, storage, and transmission capacity. Which path we choose will depend on the relative dollar costs and political costs of each. (For example HVDC transmission would likely save us lots of money, but is so difficult politically that it is unlikely to happen.)

But in any case, nearly all models show that under nearly all cost scenarios, we end up with lots of excess generation capacity, with curtailed renewables generation for a large chunk of time.

This is the future we are talking about, a future where we are meeting our energy demands with all renewables, and we have lots of excess generation capacity with zero marginal cost.

Check out this google photos export tool by the perkeep team: https://github.com/perkeep/gphotos-cdp

> This program uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive a Chrome session that downloads your photos stored in Google Photos. By default, it starts at the most ancient item in the library, and progresses towards the most recent. It can be run incrementally, as it keeps track of the last item that was downloaded. It only works with the main library for now, i.e. it does not support the photos moved to Archive, or albums. For each downloaded photo, an external program can be run on it (with the -run flag) right after it is downloaded to e.g. upload it somewhere else.

Native of Austin here, moving to SF. I can only speak to the trends I'm personally seeing, but the flood of tech money into Austin is sweeping my favorite parts of the city away. The places that filled the nooks and crannies in the city are getting replaced by fonts. Put up a steel and glass building with a cafe in the bottom, slap on an "indie-western-hipster" font and boom, we're still "keeping Austin weird". My parents moved to Austin after law school to avoid the money-culture in Dallas and the humidity in Houston. But you can't outrun the money culture forever; it's relentless at finding pockets of cool to sell.

The tech wealth moving to Austin is a certain type of wealth. It's largely the wealth that is socially liberal, but sure as heck likes the low taxes. For them, Austin is having your cake and eating it too. You get loudly decry everything the state government does while silently enjoying the tax and business environment. It's uniquely Austin seeing how people take comfort knowing if the Austin mayoralty swings too far left that the Capital will crack the whip. It's a win-win all around.

People forget that South Congress was grungy for awhile. People forget that Liz Lambert took a big risk when she bought the motel there, that ACL was only one weekend, and that Whole Foods started here. Before all this, Austin was anchored by the Capital and UT, but now we're getting a SoHo House down the street from the Equinox. And Oracle has a new skyscraper, cool. If I had to bet, it's only a matter of time before we start putting up skyscrapers up North near the Domain where the Amazon's and Apple's are setting up.

And when y'all move here anyways, try to leave Austin weirder than you found it. This is a great city.

Nice.

Rust is nice language btw.

But,when will stable version of Rust be released? By stable,i mean, number of new features added must not be too much. Rust currently seem to be adding too many features every release (which is nice but also not so good at same time)
Rust has From/Into and TryFrom/TryInto that do the same thing, as far as I can tell. It's not clear to me what the differences are, maybe someone else in this thread will know. :)

> Why not hide it a bit by letting the implicit copy to happen to simpler structures ?

This is the Copy trait.

> Why no love for inheritance

There are a variety of reasons, but one interesting one is that inheritance and strong type inference have issues, and we have very strong type inference. Beyond that, there are various other reasons, but what it really comes down to is that there's just not a ton of pressure to actually implement it; it's not enough of an impediment for Rust users to justify adding it. Most requests come from people who do not write Rust, and once people get into Rust and how it works, they don't seem to need it much anymore.

This is of course very general and there are some people who love it and want it badly anyway, but "some people exist who want this feature" is not enough to make it happen. Rust already has a lot of features, and some people say too many. We have to be careful here.

> Why no love for global/static variables ?

What does "love" mean? Rust absolutely supports these.
Why don’t you look through these job listings and tell me which state does most of the science on those rockets: https://www.spacex.com/careers/?department=

They haven’t vetoed any features. Google added a lot of features without implementation (and security) in mind. The last parts of “PWA” are its most vulnerable, and with apple having such small safari team, they don’t have the same capacity to help google do it’s job, since they rushed all the features without presenting to W3C.
I am reading this comment thread and honestly I don't know that I agree. I think JIRA, like most tools, is as good or bad as you make it. I've been at numerous companies using JIRA that don't seem to have most of the issues referenced here. The only thing I've ever felt like JIRA really lacked in was in a good UX for embedding code snippets or other technical details into issue comments. Native support for Markdown in comments would be a good win.

I actually like JIRA and Confluence and have generally had good experiences using them in multiple companies. One of the main things I like is the integration between the two, and Confluence's concept of spaces so you can have some things publicly facing and other things private, which allows you to use Confluence documentation as user-facing docs, which references JIRA issues directly for known issues, and can write requirements/specs/PRDs in Confluence and reference them easily within a JIRA issue.

The only real problem JIRA/Confluence have is being very very slow. They've gotten marginally better over the years, but they're still terribly slow compared to competing offerings.
The premise is that unavailability is the same as zero delivered messages, not one.

Note none of this is rigorously defined either in the article or with most message queues and the configuration of queues/brokers/clients means that there are all manner of edge cases around delivery guarantees in practice.
I'm sorry if I made you feel that you should be ashamed of your lack of knowledge in this particular area. That wasn't my point at all. I'm just sad that we accessibility advocates have somehow not yet been able to reach you and other developers. I'm sorry you felt the need to retract your comment.
If you never drive after drinking or while sleepy, you probably are a safer driver than most.
I'm speaking specifically of linux/unix message queues:

Richard Stevens book APUE, seems to not like Message Queues, as much as FIFOs, especially IIRC, FIFOs work on file descriptors and therefore works nicely with poll/select and also since destruction of FIFOs is handled more gracefully as the connected programs terminates. Is that view still holds good?

I wonder if that view still has currency?
> Why not hide it a bit by letting the implicit copy to happen to simpler structures.

This is already the case. Built-in types that are simple enough to be copied implicitly already are (roughly: those which don't manage any memory or other resources), and you can enable this for your own types with `#[derive(Copy)]`, as long as they are composed only of implicitly copyable types.

#[derive(Copy)]
struct S {
x: i32,
y: usize,
z: Option<Result<(), ()>>,
}

fn f(x: S) {
// ...
}

fn main() {
let s = S { x: 0, y: 0, z: Some(Ok(())) };
f(s);
f(s);
}

Something like `String` isn't implicitly copyable in Rust, because it manages memory, and therefore copying it would require a heap allocation.

The Rust way of forcing non-trivial clones to be explicit is much better than C++ IMO, where someone forgetting a `&` or an `std::move` somewhere can cause an innocuous-looking function call to be arbitrarily slow.

In C# there are not implicit copies either (except of value types), because more complex types in C# are accessed via pointers to garbage-collected heap objects. Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, though.
