Also you can just go bald for a LEGO-like look, which has always been my favorite.
Yeah exactly, I'd even go as far as saying that the standard is only useful if you're implementing a compiler or tracking down a bug in an existing one.

I'm realizing now that the original question was more about those developers doing work on C++ compilers and such than the broad community. Even so, I guess every heavy contributor and project like GCC, LLVM... have bought their own copy of the standard.
yeah, there's lots of countries with regulations that certain data can't leave the geographical boundary of the country. Often, it is the most sensitive data.
I've also seen a weird video (lost to time unfortunately), where someone showed that they could yell at their servers in a data centre and introduce errors (or something similar). Was very strange to see, but they had a console up clearly showing that it was having an impact.
That's really lousy, I wouldn't have even bothered applying to that because I'd assume you had unrealistic expectations or no idea what you are talking about.
One up for rclone, it's parallel and supports many endpoints.

Exaggerating the possibility of a bonus or of the value of stock options is completely normal for employers.
I wonder if my reply was down-voted because people did not agree with it or because they thought it was not relevant or besides the point? Probably, you are not among those, because you did take time to reply to it.

You did not reply to my first and main statement. Probably because you agreed with it. In the past shops had other methods of preventing shoplifting. Some of these methods also involved keeping track of what people did. Not information stored in databases, but in the heads of people. What I just wanted to say is that we are happy if some kind of system is used to catch the bad people, but not us, because we think of ourselves as being good. Many shoplifters also think of themselves as good, because they beat the system or have the right to do it because society treated them unfair. Or maybe just because of the fun of doing it. I understand that a high percentage of people did some shoplifting at some point in their lives. And many would do more if there would be no chance of being caught.

I simply wanted to point out that safety (as in preventing crimes) and privacy are in opposition with eachother and that each society has to find a way to balance them. It is also expected that your opinion on that balance is influenced on your position in that society.
In just the very first 30days I went from LA to Seattle through Sierras and Cascades (>3000km & 35000m of elevation) but in total I think it was ~14000km and ~150000m of elevation gain. that’s including taking a 2 months rest for US and Canadian Thanksgiving.
Can’t remember the exact general statistics but I believe that whenever I had an active day on my bike I did like 105km and 1200m on average.
If the data is that critical, surely you would be backing it up frequently and also mirror it on at least one geographically separate server?

I use a single server at OVH, and I'm not in the affected DC, but if this DID happen to me I could get back up and running fairly quickly. All our data is mirrored on S3 and off site backups are made frequently enough it wouldn't be an issue.

Plus, you still need to plan for a scenario like this even with AWS or any other cloud provider. It is less likely to happen with those, given the redundancy, but there is still a chance you lose it all without a backup plan.
I'm not sure either.
I left my job and decided to travel to China with the intention of staying for a couple of years. I got a job and the stay extended to 10+ years. I got married to a Chinese and now have a 4 year old daughter.

My suggestion - if you are thinking of it, go ahead and do it.
1. is a good point, but I wouldn't be too focused on it - just realise that it's ok to do that, so that when you find somewhere you like, or when you're tired from the go go go, you do actually stop and enjoy yourself. Eventually you'll feel like moving on and getting back to it.

I've done three long trips quitting a job first (~20 months, ~12 months, ~6 months) and the first two had several month or more stops, and many week or more stops. A mix is good.

Ovh needed a better firewall :(
Like I said, even if the instance is "alive", if it's not currently handling a request it's CPU is throttled to nothing so you can't trust any background process will finish its work.
Yes they are common in Japan for stuff like store opening hours and TV time tables
The problems are

(1) either you write two versions of almost every function or you can only support one use case (sync or async). If you could write generic functions which work in both cases it would be better.

(2) it creates a lot of noise writing async/await. It's like if we had to always write x = call f() in the sync case.
The decision was made 3 years ago and at the time it was indeed a good one, but the situation has changed and the old decision was not (in my opinion) properly reviewed. See this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26408524
Yes. I've seen job ads asking for N years of experience in something < N years old. The assumption is that the ad is from a bottom-feeder headhunter.
Your numbers are not quite accurate. A real world example in the suggests more like $7.5B / Gw for a new nuclear plant and a whopping total of $27B. Gigafactory construction was finished after two years. A nuclear power plant takes at least a decade in practice. So right now that leaves $22B for producing batteries and solar power/wind. The latter costs about $.3/W So $1B gives you 3GW of peak power. You can have ten time the output and produce batteries for $12B over eight years before the nuclear power plant even starts production.

Most of the internet is hastily glued together WordPress pages. People make a lot of money from hastily glued together solutions. In fact, people are making more money from hastily glued together solutions than ever before thanks to companies like Shopify and Stripe, that’s kind of the beauty of it.
Thanks! That's impressive, although I guess 100km per day is actually quite reasonable. For some reason, Los Angeles to Seattle seems a greater distance than 2,000km.
I think that's too strong.

You could have two executors with no problem.

What might cause issues is if code running on one executor needed close interaction with the other - such as running a task on the other executor.

Most of the time this is just avoided by using only one executor. But that's not the only way.
> Try to stay in one place for a few months, minimum.

I second this. 2 months is the minimum amount of time per country, and 2 weeks per city if you expect to get anything more than a handful of good meals and a couple adventures out of a place. My better memories were all from places I stayed for over 2 months, and all have more to do with people I met than the place itself.

In this example rust doesn't just make me aware of the tradeoffs. It almost feels like the language is actively standing in the way of making the trade offs I want to make. At least as the language is today. I think a bunch of upcoming features like unsized rvalues and async fns in traits will help.

How to stand out as a developer? A recruiter with 350 hired devs gives advice
Sorry, I don't have any advice for you.

I'm just curious about your work situation. Being the solo dev at a small company sounds interesting. What has your experience been like? And if you don't mind sharing, how did you find your job?
Ive always wanted to do this, but I don't know what I would do with my stuff? Sell everything seems dramatic because i do have sentimental things. The idea of paying rent for a place in america/california and not using it feels wasteful
For the record this feature is a pretty core part of many things in XMPP, and is enabled on 98% of this sample of 670 servers: https://compliance.conversations.im/test/xep0163/

The ones without it are mostly special cases (e.g. gmail.com is on the list, of course).
This is a cautionary tale... I'm considering doing the same myself, and hopefully can get the most out of it. What would some of you have done differently? Considering mostly East Asia, and will be having a remote full time developer job.
The pictures seem pretty clear that a lot of it is gone, judging by the blackened holes in the walls with firehoses being sprayed into.
While this thread makes some fair points, one that is missed is that safety is only one part of the reason [1] nuclear power is the most expensive way to generate electricity, and always has been. "Power too cheap to meter," never materialized, not even remotely.

Proponents for nuclear power will extoll its virtues while completely ignoring the bottom line: if nuclear power were economically viable, nothing, nothing whatsoever could prevent the mass adoption and proliferation of nuclear energy. Energy is enterprise, and enterprise requires investors. So without investors, or with only investors that leave the public holding the bag of paying massive subsidies for construction of nuclear plants, storage of waste and plant decommissioning, all the while charging that same public a premium for electricity, nuclear power plants won't get built and many that did and do were and are abandoned thanks to cost overruns.

IMO, the solution is staring us in the face: decentralize power generation by requiring all new buildings, houses, structures, anything built that needs power, to generate their own electricity on site. If every artificial surface everywhere that got sun was covered in PV, power would be far cheaper than centralizing the generation of everyone's electricity in hundreds of (initially) $20B nuclear power plants.

Yes, it's possible, but it will be a second way of doing async, which will split the ecosystem even further. So without a REALLY good motivation it simply will not happen. Unfortunately, the poll-based solution is "good enough"... I guess, some may say that "perfect is the enemy of good" applies here, but I disagree.
Comparing React and Svelte
The approach of branding things as Google Cloud XYZ makes for really homogeneous acronyms. It solves the problem that AWS has with terrible names (what the hell is a “Redshift”?) by giving everything a boring name, but in exchange you get GCS being the acronym for Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud Spanner, Google Cloud Search, Google Cloud SQL...

For whatever it's worth, the preprint in question was not on arXiv but on https://eprint.iacr.org/index.html which looks like it's even more laid back regarding submissions.
What’s wrong with async_std? The author calls it spicy. I’ve been using Surf and Tide which are built atop it and things have been a breeze. It is essentially a standard lib where all functions are red (a solution as I’d interpret things based on the linked rant). In my experience rust async’s only wart is the incredibly confusing function signatures you get with Box<Pin<... which I would think can be cleaned up.
Wow, that's a fantastic mix of technical depth and endearing art!

The success of countries like New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Australia is widely attributed stringent border control, localized quarantine and mass testing when outbreaks occur.

I haven't seen any suggestions that the region has a higher acquired immunity to coronaviruses. And other countries in the region (Japan, Indonesia, India and China) had high numbers of infections and fatalities.
Pretty much any major university had this in their curriculum. Really enjoyed programming the 8085 boards (kits) using a keypad and LED segmented display. The boards used to lose power suddenly during practical exams after punching dozens of instructions. At which point, one is expected to not panic and perform CPR on the board by pressing hard on the chips with your palms till the display comes back online :-)
I drove my car from San Francisco to Panama Canal. It took 1.5 years. What I will remember when I am old is fixing my car in beautiful rural Honduras, sleeping in a hammock there and talking to people. Avoid big cities - when we had car problems and had to improvise shorting fuses with a wire that I obtained from our dashcam USB cable with a pocket knife, we came to think of Tegucigalpa as an inaccessible lucrative capital of the world, dreaming and plotting how to get there. That in the retrospect was pure bliss.
This is a solution for getting away from Facebook, but it neglects the problem of news discovery. Unless you don't care about finding interesting things that aren't available from your choices of news sources, you're going to miss out on things that folks in your social circle find and want to share. To me, that's the value of a social network. At the very least, it doesn't really make RSS an alternative to Facebook, it serves a different purpose. The folks that the article mentions who rely on Facebook as their exclusive source of messaging are already relying on news discovery, since a story is either shared by a friend or promoted to you as an ad.

Woah, great catch! We'll put in a quickfix in the AM, easy enough.

In regards to analytics, we're currently treating links like "blocks" in preparation for our new link types feature (then a link could be an image, video, form, checkout, plugin, etc.), so if you were to want a new tracking item created it would be recommended to create a new item and delete the old one rather than edit it. In the future, we'll have easy link visibility and duplication settings to make this an easy process. If you have any thoughts on how you'd expect/prefer this to be, let me know!
It baffles me why anyone would lie about the languages they know. Why.

Always tell half truths, never whole lies. I live in a country where companies distrust former startup founders regardless of exit. So when a good opportunity cones around - people pretend to have been merely working for said startup instead of the guy running it. Thats a good lie.
I think they announced their IP plans yesterday [1], which is probably the worst timing one can have (if there even is a good timing for a datacenter burning down, probably there isn't).

If they have a good insurance I'm confident this will have little impact on their operations, I really hope they do. I host a few components on OVH/SoYouStart dedicated servers, luckily not mission critical, but still had rather good experience with them, especially in terms of price to performance.

I and many others would disagree that they made the decision "at the expense of the long-term Rust health". You aren't arguing in good faith if you put words in their mouth. There is no data to suggest the long-term health of rust is at stake because of the years long path they took in stabilizing async today. There are merits to both models but nothing is as clear-cut as you make it to be - completion-based futures are not definitively better than poll-based and would have a lot of trade-offs. To phrase this as "Completion based is totally better and the only reason it wasn't done was because it would take too long and Rust needed popularity soon" is ridiculous
You're right but even most big players can probably just use threads. If you are serving 1 million clients per VM you are probably taxed for other resources besides threads unless 99.99% of your clients are guaranteed to idle.
There's a happy medium in my mind where you just use RSS to notify you of new content, and then click through to see the real post.

That's the approach I take with the RSS reader I've built anyways.
I find it particularly ironic that it has fallen to a Facebook group of Cold Fusion programmers to call out poor choices.

Those of us who actually worked at 1st generation dotcoms know that absolutely nobody had any idea what they were doing, even at the "proper" ones, and things were moving so fast that you absolutely _had_ to fake it until you made it.
As I said, many people are pressed for time when they shop for groceries. If physical staff could help reduce the stress of shopping, I still see a market for physical stores the next 20 years (longer than that is anybody’s guess).

On top of that there was also patriarchy that favored boys over girls. The teachers were more receptive and attentive to boys' well being. The resounding success of girls in India (and the subcontinent) in academics is a great indicator that teachers are biased in favor of girls.

I would say any one using external recruiters are setting themself up to employing liars. Searching for jobs it's incredibly frustrating talking to a person who for once can't answer any technical questions of what the job is about, but also just crossing of a bucket list to see if you are qualified to talk to another recruiter with a bucket list. Instead of competing with liars I've just stopped applying for jobs going through external recruiters.
Another one is that you can run machine learning on it. For example to automatically detect unusual activity.

My personal experience as a business owner. We do not care about reviews since we are a B2B software house. Our customers are mid- to large-size companies so they do not play reviews but lawyers if our service wasn't of highest quality :) My personal preference would be to prevent 3rd party companies like google from publishing reviews if the business owner doesn't want them.

Anyway - no customer gave us any review on google and our website is full of recommendation letters. But at some point google started nagging our employees to put reviews since they visited our office.

Guess what happened. We got our first review from an employee we were not happy with and planned to gracefully close our cooperation with.

This is against Google policy. So we complained. We had to spend significant time to get to a real person at Google and get this removed.

After a year similar situation happened. I thought ok - this should be easy the second time. No way - this time all the emails we knew did not respond, we could not reach anybody. We flagged the review several times. We could not do anything about that.

It is like a person can just put a shit on your office wall and you could not clean it. And shit owner - Google doesn't care.

We were forced to play by the rules and we bought 50 reviews to paint our wall. The company that provided this service was a Google partner. They explained that 80-90% of reviews of everything is written for money.

And the best thing - once we started getting our reviews, the flagged reviews were finally removed. Seems like AI decided the we are a good company.

Do you think we did something wrong? Immoral? Or just played business on a not leveled field?

And to summarize. I do not care about reviews. And we have money to fight back with lawyers or PR. But it is sad that some businesses don't have this option and somebody (Google) can harm them through reviews they did not ask for.
I had never hear of Roblox before today, but this comment makes me want to introduce my kids to it. If they blow all of their savings on it now, when their savings is like $50-$100, the lesson learned could save them blowing thousands of dollars of savings on similar scams later in life.
