I didn’t chose to ignore that. I compiled a Rust binary library 4 years ago, it still works without recompiling today on a dozen of operating systems and toolchains that did not exist back then.

Try doing the same with C++.

I really believe you when you say that you are clueless about how to do this, since you don’t seem to have any idea about what you are talking about, and all your posts start with a disclaimer about that.

But at this point the only thing I have to tell you is RTFM. Doing this is easy. HackerNews isnt a “Rust for illiterates” support group. Go and read the book.
Though mostly about ladder climbing and relationship drama, the show 'House of Lies' has some really good scenes where the management consultants do actual work, which is pretty much portrayed as doing the things you've listed. Even as a fictional show, it made it easier for me to understand these situations and not get so flustered when encountering them.

I hear this sort of objection for all sorts of civil-service employment.

TBH, I'm surprised we've never seen a proposal of the form "Federal employee salaries are not subject to income tax."

With a single line of legislation, that makes all federal job offers immediately 10-35% more competitive, without actually increasing salaries directly.

Once you get that as precedent, I could see it being used aggressively as a social tool: "We can't pay a public school teacher more than 60k, but we can pay them 60k tax-free, which is a little more competitive with a 75k private-sector position", for example.

>Only 450 Veyron were produced by hand up to 2015, selling at prices of at least EUR 1.16 million. These include various exclusive special models which are now sought-after collector's items. Their value has hardly fallen in recent years. More recent used vehicles achieved an average price of EUR 620,000 at international auctions and dealerships in 2011; two years later this had already gone up to EUR 730,000. Currently it’s virtually impossible to find a Veyron on the market for less than EUR 1.3 million, with certain models fetching even considerably higher prices

Trying to apply the same logic to a rare car of which there were under 500 units produced and even less now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJmB1F2mdE) as you do to your economy car is just wrong.
I want an internet of specialty sites, browsable curations, diversity of offering, freedom of choice, and full of the quirky/unusual.

You can have that. All you need to do is make sure the developers who make those sites get rich. Find the sites and tell your friends about them. Subscribe to their work. Buy their merch. Click on the ads. Pay them. Then everyone else will see that sort of site making bank, and they'll follow along with similar things.

The only reason the web is what it is today is because the money went to the walled gardens and social media sites. To change that, change where the money goes.

Everything you write is possible, but - and again in every single step of your daily dev work - more tedious than doing things directly. It's just not worth it for me.

I don’t know if I’m reading this correctly, but it comes across to me at least as defensive, and is probably not going to encourage people who are already feeling vulnerable to come forward with specific evidence. I’m also not sure you’ve fully understood the complaint. I can’t speak for stonecraftwolf of course, so I can’t be sure about that. I suspect my own experience is similar though, because I’m hearing echoes of an experience I have here too.

The issue that I’ve experienced here isn’t, strictly speaking, a failure of moderation. It’s more an occasional failure of culture. For the most part discussions go very well here, and I see the hard work you do to make that happen. In fact if someone were to ask me to name the best and hardest-working moderators on the internet, you would come to mind first. There are, however, some topics where the tone of the whole discussion—not individual posts, but whole discussions—is toxic to the point where I have to take a HN breather. If you’d like, I can send you examples of these as I see them in the future.

It’s difficult to address this in a framework where the unit of moderation is an individual comment. A more significant challenge, and one that I think isn’t talked about nearly enough, is that the kind of toxicity I sometimes see here is of a subtle (but no less poisonous) sort. I suspect, in fact, that recognition of it might be difficult unless you’ve become attuned to it as a survival mechanism after experiencing it over and over throughout one’s life. I’m not necessarily saying “there’s no way for you to see it unless you already know it,” which would be tricky indeed—but I’m not ruling out the possibility either. In any case my point is that there is a holistic view that gets lost when we dive into the weeds of individual comments, and in my experience at least, the hurt happens at that holistic level.

I hope this is helpful, and does not feel accusatory; I have nothing to accuse you of, and I very much appreciate being able to work these issues out in good faith. Thanks again for all the hard work you do.
I felt this on 80s french shows too. Its as if 1h back then was longer than 1h now. It's super odd. People were probably happier deeply because all of the new spaces to play on, without much structure and productivity. Things were to be invented. Whereas today, TV shows are long term businesses who have to hold market shar, ensure the same thing every day. No time for stepping aside, laugh or listen.

Probably a difference in human and emotional education. Times were slightly rougher in the 60-80s.. people may have had thicker skin and more social skills.

All in all it might just be a natural cycle of sclerosis, not help by the internet amplifier.

ps YouTube suggested some letterman shows with meg parsont (a random employee working in front of the studio building) I felt Dave was a bit intrusive if not bullish on her. Made me feel conflicted, as I hold the dude and show very high in mind.
> Can anything tradeable with a fixed supply become a currency?

Yes, very much so (including something with unpredictable supply). Through history, diverse things were used as currency including shells, salt, silver and gold.

The commonly used definition of a currency was coined by Aristotle and is that it's an asset fulfilling three requirements:

- being an intermediary of exchange;

- being a store of value;

- being a unit of account.

You might notice that most cryptocurrencies are not actually currency owning to the first point.
I can attest that the second modus operandi is the way long time contracts work from my experience.

Nearly every time all the knowledge and skills necessary are hidden and fragmented inside our client's org. With our access through all the management layers and silos we could work to fullfil the contract and also enable change within the client organisation and culture.

But why kill the golden goose? Our higher people' bonuses depend on us being the glue as someone else wrote in another comment. And a lot of my colleagues actually on the client's really do a great job in opening lines of communication. They work their a*es of to help the client.

Sadly helping isn't a monetary long term strategy for upper levels.

In the end
In Amsterdam, you can test it for free. It's strictly speaking illegal, but in practice, the government doesn't prosecute these things as they try to attack it from the supply side and try to protect the consumer side.

So you buy some MDMA, take a bit from it, bring it to the lab, get it test for free, and presto! The only risk is financial risk.

Disclaimer: I've never done it, I've only see some (probably state-sponsored) videos on it.
I can't take any of these server Python projects seriously. It's like mocking up a car in styrofoam and then just...releasing that mockup as the actual product.
I honestly don't know how to reconcile R&D costs but I dislike how they're applied per unit today. R&D is a sunk cost and the technology gained from it can be applied beyond the original scope. I get it because bean counters want to point fingers when it comes to penny pinching.

It's not as if GM goes back and adjusts the R&D % applied to the 97 Corvette when they sell an LS engine. The R&D cost of every subsequent vehicle that reuses something off the shelf is going to be cheaper.
IME it's more stuff like the $800/yr franchise tax.
> I don't. I just use one $5 per month Linode for each SaaS

Well then you're basically using VMs as your containerization mechanism, with install scripts replacing Dockerfiles.

So from your perspective, don't think of Docker as a really fat binary. Think of it as a stripped-down VM that doesn't cost a minimum of $5 per instance, and comes in a standardized format with a standardized ecosystem around it (package registries, monitoring dashboards, etc.)
Complexity management is the name of the game. On all levels: functional, technical, organizational.

> distributions as they are supposed to be used.

As much as i like the concept of Wayland, until it's a one click always works without any caveats option in Ubuntu it essentially doesn't exist. Ubuntu 20.04, the latest of the most popular distributions, does not have wayland enabled by default. They actively discourages you from trying it if you have Nvidia, which again is the most popular gfx card - not sure if one is supposed skip the proprietary drivers or not with Wayland but on X11 using Nouveau is not a pleasant experience.

IMO the main problem there is that the UX around dropping events and returning blank rectangles is bad. We have the tools to design other protocols centered around a real security architecture that can communicate intent properly and doesn't need to return fake data.
Rust actually supports multiple ABIs and you can pick which one to use.

The one I use for maximum portability is the C ABI defined in the ISO C standard and on the platform docs (eg the Itanium ABI specified eg in the x86psABI document on Linux).

I have pretty bad acid reflux and my stomach often would get very acidic by the end of day. (Even if I ate nothing)

I think a half-way point is needed for something to be truely durable. I agree with the criticisms of P2P in that you need to make some privacy tradeoffs. But durability is another concern (as we've seen recently with the takedown of Element from the Play Store). Is it possible for somebody else to spin-up a new centralised Signal server? Why isn't the server code-base open source?

Signal would grow immensely in my eyes if they made the server code open source [SEE EDIT], and allowed an easy way to set the centralised server address in the Signal app. The current server would be the default, and perhaps changing the server would be hidden in Advanced Options for now. But the capability would be there. That way, if x government chooses to go after Signal's servers, the availability of all the code needed to run a replacement is already available.

As it stands, we are placing a lot of trust in the Signal Foundation for communication (assuming we rely on the Signal app/service). I have no problem with a central server being used for communication if I can communicate data in a zero-trust way. But I want assurance that that server can be quickly and easily replaced in the event it goes down.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Server code is here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Unfortunately, you cannot change the server address in the app as downloaded from any app store, so my criticism remains.
Man, it really doesn't matter if they pay out money or store it in a box. The box still belongs to the company. They can always pay out later or someone else may need a box full of money. Of course it's even better if they do something more useful with the money than just storing it in a box.
This sounds like me trying to uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud only to be stopped by an 'error' each time.
The limit is the price. With the "at open" I was thinking about direct listings where you'd need some way to prevent your order being filled after the opening auction (and potentially at a different price), but with an IPO that's not an issue at all. So you should definitely be able to just put your whole curve in.
It cannot be volunteer work. It has to be sponsored from the top. If it is, then a team of qualified FTEs can do this job similar to an external consultancy. But rarely will old-timer well-settled FTEs will leave their current position and take on this temporary risky gig.

Also, the end result and the path to get there isn't clear for FTEs – let's say they did the functional domain requirement gathering work – then who will implement it – they will have to contract out the development work – they may not be empowered to think and see through to the end goal fully.

On the other hand, for the top management folks – it is easier to temporarily empower the external consultants and terminate the engagement with them at any time – but they cannot do the same with FTEs due to employment laws etc.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. You're right about the folklore, and while there are some strong outliers that have done quite well in the US, but those would be hard to attribute to anything special about US education and support systems.
Why is it that access to unlimited content leads to most people watching the worst content ever made, so much so that other people forget that good content exists?
Yes, that's an example where Docker might make sense. But I don't think it's very common, or what OP was writing about.

Having a “common enemy” may be effective in bridging old divides, but it also creates a new divide. Having the common enemy of Japan in WWII was effective in uniting the US nation, but it also resulted in the persecution Japanese Americans.

Someone close to me runs a hedge fund - I guess that makes him the bad guy somehow, the “common enemy.” He’s a one man operation working from home. He made a bad judgement call and shorted too much GME. Now his personal financial stability has been rocked. WSB really showed him. They really defeated those evil hedge fund managers.
I know this says 90s, but when I see Max Headroom that's solidly 80s yo. Like, totally.
What nobody is talking about yet are the thousands (tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands? millions?) of people who got hurt and will get hurt by this event.

Sure, it's neat to see stories of people making from tens of thousands to millions of dollars due to the short squeeze. And yet it is easy to forget that those who played the game were buying GME all the way up to $500 one day, $420 the next day and $300-something the next. People also bought puts at different levels.

All of this will come crashing down on top of them. It's a Ponzi scheme (or whatever the appropriate analogy might be). The people who, through hubris and ignorance, bought these stocks chasing them up the price scale to "Help our brothers who bought at $350 get positive" and other encouragement found on r/wallstreetbets are going to get shafted (if they haven't already).

In other words, the institutional short sellers are not the only ones who lost money. The difference is, they KNOW they can win.

Why?

Because there is no way GME is worth $200, $300, $400, $500 or $1,000. At some point in the future gravity will do its thing and this stock will suffer a violent crash. And you can bet there will be short sellers there to profit from it. And you can bet a large number of people who are hoping to get rich quickly are going to lose unimaginable amounts of money.

As a side question: I wonder how much Chinese money went into pumping GME off the charts? I already saw one or two articles about this. It would be truly terrible if "average folk" in the US and Europe became useful idiots in the hands of heavy capital from China who saw an opportunity to extract billions of dollars from both of these economies.
And then ./the-program breaks and someone has to read its source code. Then, the fewer dependencies the-program has, the easier it will be to fix.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I think a tell-tale sign is if they apply the waterfall approach.
You should come to Melbourne CBD in Australia.

I can only assume they are being used as fronts to launder money or as a business investment to secure residency as there seems to be no possible way even a city of Melbourne's size could consume this much bubble tea. It's almost at the point where there are bubble tea sellers directly next to each other in the street. And I'm talking dozens, if not hundreds, of them.
Isn't it the case that the use of IP generates wealth which is taxed anyway? So wouldn't that amount to a kind of double taxation?
> To make your software “free” is to promise that its users will have freedom – as the saying goes, code is “free as in speech” even if it’s not necessarily “free as in beer.”

That's simply untrue. Everyone knows that copyleft licenses disallow certain forms of free speech (with code), for example the GPL 3.0. In fact the GPL 3.0 was designed specifically with the intent to constrain the "excessive" liberties allowed by the GPL 2.0 (which isn't very permissive to begin with).

If you want to make your code free, release it to Public Domain. Copyleft proponents pretend they're above the detested capitalists and IP enforcement but in reality they use "IP" to enforce their agenda just like all other people who license their IP under non-permissive licenses.
So TIL that the creator of Python is now working at Microsoft, on a project to make Python better on Windows. That feels...important.
Well I would say it does actually a open a door to that dimension. It’s just that it’s latent in your brain and not necessarily an actual dimension.

But this is also a deeper philosophical question around where things like numbers come from.
Except plain old virtual environments instead of poetry. And pyenv only if really really necessary, and not in prod.
These are good points and to add on, what do they mean when they say “wealth”? Cash? Equities? Real estate? Precious metals? Artwork? Super cars?

Some of those are easy to measure and others aren’t.

So going by your statement “wealth is just unspent income”, depending on what they consider as “wealth”, you could have person A invest all their disposable income and person B spend all their disposable income. Then in the end analysis person A is wealthy and person B is not despite having the same income.
That doesn't really jive with the fact that the S-Class has cheaper insurance rates despite being a more expensive car and whose ownerbase typically consists of very rich people.

To clarify, assuming the actual float of BTC is around 15e6 max (around 6e6 is presumed missing forever due to user error) ever, once all the bitcoins have been mined, and you use my figure of 1e8 USD per single BTC, then you get a market cap of 1.5e15 (1.5 quadrillion). Right now there's around 90 trillion in "total money" (narrow + broad money) in the world, so 1.5 quadrillion is around 16.667~ times that amount.

Again, with fiat currency inflation, implied economic growth projections and technological efficiencies to be gained, will total money be around 1.5 quadrillion dollars? Eventually, sure. Especially if you denominate this in dollars, which obviously have been devaluated to the extreme. These are huge figures, but that doesn't sound so crazy when you really think about it. Especially on a 50-100 year time horizon.
And you all think career politicians like Biden or whoever give two fly fucks for you or me, or are they going to be listening to the billion dollar donors that got them elected. These individuals are so far detached from the people that to call it a "democracy" is a travesty.

These are oligarchies with the veneer of popular voting providing a pretense of democracy.

Also the irony of asking the government to help you from companies that said government gave defacto monopolies to in the form of copyright laws seems to be completely lost on everyone.
It's a really fat binary that adds unnecessary layers in both dev and prod. In dev, it's faster to run tests and easier to debug without Docker. And in prod, why use a vm inside a vm?
Element/Matrix/Gitter is a great IRC-replacement and public chat, Mastodon is great as a decentralized Twitter alternative, IPFS is great for decentralized public file sharing. Default-public services like this probably have an easier time being decentralized. It'd actually be nice to see thoughtful integrations between these three IMO.

The greatest advantage Signal has is probably doing same-day updates for all clients while being dead simple to use well. A decentralized protocol could achieve these things, but none have yet. Still I hope someday soon we can have everything be decentralized, but like the blog post says, we can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
