> In March 2020, staff at the publishing house Hachette in New York, including employees of Little Brown and Grand Central Publishing, walked out over the planned publication of Woody Allen’s memoir, Apropos of Nothing, because the film director was the subject in the early 1990s of a molestation allegation, for which he was twice investigated without charge. Hachette caved to employees’ demands and canceled the release, which Allen later published elsewhere.

I don't really think defending Woody Allen is a good example of any of the purity politics that was first opened up with, and its use makes me suspicious of the entire essay's goodwill otherwise. It's super weird to rope in "these people don't like white people writing brown protagonists" and "the employees of this company do not want to participate in publishing the nonfiction of a credibly accused child molester".

I think the essay is significantly weakened by conflating the two in any respect.
It makes a big difference when a language spec (such as Scheme) requires it. If only some implementations have it, and you can't assume it when coding, then it's "just an optimization".

Are you a principal engineer or the principal engineer?

If you are a principal engineer, they might've just used the title to try to recruit someone who isn't a novice.

Either way, if you want to assume a leadership position, just start doing shit. Especially if they're not giving you stuff to do, just start taking the initiative. Are tests set up? Do they use Storyboard for components? Set that up, or create new ones. Do they have Cypress or equivalent e2e? Do they have Jest or equivalent snapshots?
True. There are just too many.

I should still improve my knowledge of git, gradle, intelij, various command line tools, docker and so on.

That by itself isn't to much but all this stuff comes on top of just staying up to date with the plattform you are working on and learning the next framework or library which you immediately need.

You can see this guy is not a developer because he didn't spend 2 months learning machine learning and computer vision while trying to automatize the form classification task only to give up after 6 months and do it by hand anyway.

And clearly government because he didn't spend 10 dollars in mechanical turks to do it in 24 hours.
This article is ridiculous. The current wave of book burning, censorship and denunciation is completely different from previous ones, because I support the positions of the mob. I know that this wave of book burnings, censorship and denunciation will lead to a brighter tomorrow.

I should point out that I don't support 100% of the positions of the mob, but I won't say which ones I disagree with because I don't want to be next. The differences I have are minor, and I'm willing to change them immediately if necessary.
Oh, aber not just memory pressure, a busy IO stack too. When there's multiple requests in flight already (concurrent processes, AIO, writeback) a part of the write may be issued as a separate (block layer) request, and IIRC there's a chance to get interrupted before sending the next parts.
> Rust isn't against shared libraries per se, but it doesn't have a stable ABI.

The Rust stable ABI is simply the C ABI. This doesn't work so well with features like generics as you mention, but it's good enough for interfacing with separately-built shared libraries.
UPDATE: XBar is a reboot by the original creator of BitBar [2]. I understood it as I was confused why I have it in my starred. The below is my analysis before I understood it.

UPDATE 2: The authors of both also were considering to merge the projects. [3]

I see XBar seems to be more advanced and more popular.

It has these Advanced APIs like URL schema [0].

and also the GUI for plugins compared to Swiftbar

The tech stack of course is also much different as it's written in Go and Swiftbar as the name applies in Swift.

Although I like that SwiftBar has cron syntax support [1]. I didn't find a similar function in XBar.

A comprehensive comparison in one or the other's repo README could be useful

Zuckerberg: Facebook may be in 'stronger position' after Apple's privacy changes
I'm not. "Everything is a string" is an incredibly powerful worldview for tying systems together where those systems never put any thought into interoperability. Any realistic bash alternative would either need to rewrite the entire user land with a more structured exchange format like JSON or .NET objects, or ship with adapters for most every command line tool we use.
First I would talk to your manager about their expectations. They might not have a clear idea either, but you should see what they say.

As general advice — as a principal engineer, similar to a staff engineer[0], your role is really to look ahead and solve the next problem. What isn't a huge issue now, but will be in 18 months time? Where are the companies projects moving? Can you predict that they're going to need particular support in the future?

I disagree. Living in a free and open society means defending everyone's right to have a voice, and that means defending the free speech rights of those we despise.
None of this will stop until people stop listening to these puritanical prigs and their endless pronouncements. People have to stop ceding the public square to the most shrill.

Unfortunately, shrill lunacy drives "engagement", so media and social media alike swarm around it.

I agree in the literal way, but if you're kept captive for 95 hours regardless, does the distinction of work vs being present really matter? I doubt they're able to schedule anything meaningful for personal growth/enjoyment (e.g. dinner with friends?).

The end outcome is that it hurts the employee. The survey was for 13 people, but it still saddens me to see that they unanimously agreed on having negative relationships with friends/family due to their work. Those are harder (and sometimes impossible) to repair...

This is a bit corollary to the article so my apologies for that.

What I find most unproductive in Rust is the idioms that don't find their place in the official docs. Steve Klabnik wrote an excellent comment here in HN 4-5 months ago about how to use a thread pool which illustrated my gripes with Rust PERFECTLY: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24992747

I understand this is not part of the stdlib. I do. But the officially blessed way without 3rd party crates is indeed quite hard to get right or to even write in one go.

Another thing that severely disappointed me is the lack of serious plans for Rust 2021 Edition. I really was looking forward to a terser syntax for a bunch of idioms (sadly in the meantime they flew out of my head and now I can't remember them).

The 6-week cycle is IMO not a problem. The changes have been fairly small -- but some of them very impactful, like the constant (pun intended) moving of functions from normal ones to `const` ones.
Oscar Wilde has something to say about censorship (and he knew a little bit about being attacked for writing):

Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

In today’s highly polarized and tribal world, books must also be a way to signal virtue and tribe membership.
Just entertained myself staring at some Google maps satellite imagery. I'm not sure how up to date that is. But a couple of observations:

- This certainly is a huge scale setup. Very ambitious.

- From a transport point of view, it looks like this is accessible by car only. Lots of highways; large distances, etc.

- It looks like it is obviously designed to keep "undesirables" out. It looks like an easy to defend by design very exclusive large scale resort. As others are pointing out; that probably is no accident.

- I know megalomania when I see it. This is definitely looks like it. But then all the great capitals in the world have some of that in their history. I've been to Rome, Washington, Paris, etc. And I live on what got built on the ruins of the Third Reich (Berlin). Same deal, different eras. So, who are we to blame the Egyptians for a bit of megalomania? The ultimate in megalomania is probably the nearby pyramids. And they remain a popular tourist destination.

- It's a desert. Presumably it gets warm there. Is that even going to stay livable in the next decades? E.g. the Saudi's are planning to move some of their cities to more coastal regions. I guess AC is not going to be optional there. But still, it does not look like a pleasant place to hang out. I guess, they can desalinate water and pump it inland to green up the area a bit and keep it cool. That would be an interesting project in it self and an interesting use of e.g. clean plentiful energy potential the country definitely has.

- This looks like some serious spending is happening. And given the local kleptocracy; one wonders who is getting rich here. And given the warm relationships with e.g. the US also who benefits over there? Following the money often yields interesting results.

If it was not obvious: I am deeply sorry that you have to deal with a severe condition. I am just a random internet stranger, but hope for you that treatments that will alleviate it can be found soon. Staying on top of the literature will help you.

It is a sensitive personal decision whether you want to know what may happen to you in detail, or not; and nobody should make this decision for someone who is affected by disclosing graphic stories. Most people would therefore be too considerate to pass on such stories, so your friend may be a bit of an „outlier“. That’s all I wanted to say.
> This is very insulting. Bugs are often found in every kind of software.

To me it's not a bug. It's a foundational flaw. If Rust was a house, and a bug was a broken window, unsoundness issue would be water seeping into the foundation.

If standard library is unsound, that means pretty much everything derived from/relying on that functionality is unsound.

Adding unsoundness for the sake of pushing a feature out is just bad. It's cutting corners on essential things.

True. But if I know that BDFL is an asshat, then I avoid that project.
The top CS universities are highly regarded for the research that their faculty and graduate students perform. The impact on undergraduates is indirect: there's a bigger variety of advanced CS courses, opportunities to hear about or participate in cutting edge CS research, and better equipped facilities but for the 90% of students who go on to work on web frontend/backend, none of those matter much. Going to a top CS university is important primarily if the student is planning to work for a FAANG or another context where CS knowledge is useful or the student is planning to get a Ph.D.

It's amazing to me, and my long-gone 18 year old activist self, that vocally supporting Freedom to Read week in 2021 would get me branded a right-wing bigot (if anybody cared to brand me at all, which they wouldn't.)

My biggest gripe with Ecto is that it's incredibly verbose and awkward to use for one-off tasks directly from the console. I know it's by design and its design works wonders from maintainability and composability point of view, but I really miss Rails' ActiveRecord when fiddling with data. It's to the point I sometimes prefer to use raw SQL, which is astounding.

Part of the offender is terrible UX of iex (like, why the heck can't I cancel multi-line command and not loose all my context?).

I believe improving on those two could lead to greater adoption of Elixir and Phoenix.

Not very hackery - but that was my prominent thought at the end of the article.

I mean maybe there is a tech point, that hair has historically been a pretty hard thing to model, so I'd presume hard to correct with a filter - so maybe its his luscious locks that helped sell the ruse (and I'll need to wait another few years to have my hairline pseudo-restored)
No one is saying Woody Allen shouldn't produce his own memoir. I am saying its weird to conflate not desiring to purchase the nonfiction rights of a credibly accused child molester and then profit off of selling that same nonfiction to otherwise significantly more niche issues such as whether or not a white author should be writing black protagonists.

The end of the essay even focuses on the race aspect! I just completely do not understand trying to conflate the purchasing of a credibly accused child molester's work to excessive purity on writing brown/black people in fiction.

The Capitol was stormed. You can even watch the video. There is evidence of advance planning by some groups involved (see Proud Boys and Oath Keepers etc.). It disrupted sessions of the House and the Senate. VP was evacuated by Secret Service. Many were armed. 5 people died, one of those shot as she tried to get into the barricaded doors of the House. At least one member of the police also killed. Extensive video footage exists documenting the day.
I was wondering about why SwiftBar existed when there was already BitBar, and a lot is explained in this thread on Github: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar/issues/95

I don't mean this as an attack, but do you live in DC? The stereotype is actually that the very wealthy lobbyists and contractors live in VA where the taxes are lower.

There's plenty super-rich here, but they're not particularly tipping the scales out of 700,000 people. The rise of DC's wealth has largely been a huge influx of young professionals in the past 20 years. Most of whom are probably government-adjacent, but we're talking people making 120k/year, not 10MM. It's the same pattern as a dozen other big US cities over the past 10 years.

DC public schools enrollment is up 10% in the past 5 years, and DC Charter school enrollment is up nearly 30%.

> As long as you are able to do that, is it truly censoring? No ones burning books here. To say the publishing industry is especially censoring today than before is outrageous. The point is that it self censored in the ethnicity and gender of its authors instead of the material.

I've been trying to get the older Seuss books. They're impossible to get. And if one of them does happen to be available, the prices are astronomical. I do think there's some level of censorship happening here and I get inklings of book burning when I consider how difficult it is to get these books.

Thank you for the heads-up! I missed Reddit's thread as I usually visit social networks only the weekends.

I've bookmarked the page and will for sure read all the comments this weekend, they look very interesting (especially yours, that I've flew over)!

That being said, I stand by my point: Short release cycles are an illustration of The Compound Effect.

> A programming language is a platform. You can't build a thriving ecosystem on top of an unstable platform. We need, as a community, to find a solution to bring calm and focus to Rust, and then we will be able to stabilize and build a great ecosystem of libraries on top of that platform.

> Short release cycles are suitable for products, as you can remove features or UI elements, and thus complexity can decrease over time. But for platforms, it means that you can only add things, as removing parts of a platform will break backward compatibility. Thus complexity may only increase over time.

I would love to see almost "empty releases" in order not to add non-essential features and thus avoid feature bloat.

But then, what is the point of short release cycles if it's not to add features? Wouldn't longer releases cycles make more sense?
