Comments are good, this particular instance, not so much.

This description spends a lot of time stating the blindingly obvious, eg:

if (addedFiles.length === 0) {
// Abort if no files matched path.
throw new Error(files.pathFromRepoRoot(path) + " did not match any files");

Or:

// If --bare was passed, write to the Git config indicating that the repository is bare.
// If --bare was not passed, write to the Git config saying the repository is not bare.
config: config.objToStr({ core: { "": { bare: opts.bare === true }}}),

This really adds no information if the names are clear and you can read JS. The important thing isn't what is happening in the code, because you already can see that in the code. It's WHY. For instance, it'd be far more useful to explain what is a 'bare repository', what are the implications of it, and why are we keeping track of that data, than to say "If it's bare, we write in the file that it's bare".

I feel that explaining TLS and similar in this manner would be completely unhelpful. Check out this document, for instance, specifically the "Algorithm for crypt" part:

https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt

Very well explained. But try and tell me what's the purpose and why those specific steps, which look increasingly bizarre as you delve in, and whether deviating from any given step would be acceptable or not (ignoring matters of compatibility)
Try to do in Python something like:

fgrep -f keywords huge.log | cut -f 2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head

Where size of data >> RAM (but less than free space in /tmp). It of course possible, but I suspect would require more effort and would work slower than a shell line above.

> All of this could be solved by saying "You are agreeing to pay a total of $923.88 over 12 months at $76.99 per-month. If you cancel, the minimum cost to you is $461.94 (50% of the total Annual plan), this decreases evenly each month.

And presumably this must be on primary pricing page, not below the fold, have different options for with and without vat, and they must display this for the up-front annual sub, pay-monthly annual sub, and monthly sub with no commitment? The monthly sub needs to be clear that you're actually not signing up for 12 months, because you may only want/need it for 6 months rather than 12, so the other options need a monthly equivalent breakdown for comparison? FWIW, I did a super quick inline edit of Adobe's HTML to show what that looks like [0].

Also, the $461.94 is actually the _maximum_ cost, not the minimum.

> Adobe do not tell you how much the fee is ahead of time.

Yes, they do. [1] clearly says " If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you’ll be fully refunded. Should you cancel after 14 days, you’ll be charged a lump sum amount of 50% of your remaining contract obligation and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.". There is so much detail in that page, it would be impossible to put all of that on the purchase page without being accused of burying it in the fine print.

> They can also renew it for another year while increasing the price without telling

This is exactly what I'm talking about - you're moving the goalposts here. We're talking about adobe's cancellation fees, not their renewal policy. I'm not defending their renewal policy, it's awful, but it's off topic.

> They don't show you total price that you are committing to, they don't show you minimum amount to you must pay if you cancel.
You're right, they should show it. They _do_ have it linked at [2]/[3] where they clearly show the annual cost, and the option to pay it monthly.

> they don't show you minimum amount to you must pay if you cancel.
Lets assume they _did_ show that amount. Reading this thread, are you telling me that people wouldn't find another axe to grind? e.g. "They don't make it clear that they can autorenew at a higher price". So now they need to add _every_ detail to the purchasing pages, where they're now accused of burying it in the fine print. But the reason they don't is because the amount is "50% of your remaining obligation", which is a minimum of 1/24th of the annual sum, which is misleading to display. What they _do_ do is clearly show you how much they'll charge you to cancel before you actually do so.

I can go outside and carve a wooden spoon out of a piece of fallen wood. I've just created wealth without taking it from anyone.

Even if I had to buy the wood from someone else, I took a $1 piece of wood and turned it into a $20 spoon. Wealth was just created without anyone loosing it. Wealth is infinite. Sure the amount of currency in circulation is finite, but currency isn't wealth.

> It is also important that, the more wealth you have, the easier it becomes to make more of it.

I agree--once you get to the point that you can make your wealth make more wealth for you, you've hit the point that you can scale beyond your time. Generally speaking having your wealth make more wealth requires investing your wealth, which is a good thing.

> So, indeed, the rich obtaining more of it does mean there's less for you and me.

This simply isn't true. See wooden spoon example above.
Will people keep on using crypto when they are forced to use centralized, democratically unaccountable gatekeepers such as Coinbase? What happens if we give random, yet massively wealthy corporations unfettered power to print money? (yes, yes, we do this to some extent already with banks, but they are _fairly_ tightly regulated, at least in theory). Can we even _have_ currencies that dont have nation states backing them up?

Cryptocurrencies are a great idea when they remain decentralized and relatively small- but what happens when they become centralized and powerful?

Surely this can't go on forever?
For a real world example of this, check Madrid's city centre. This is exactly what happened in the last few years, and the result is amazing.

Coming from a Supply Chain function in aerospace, I have to agree and disagree. 2 months of stock are somewhere around a turn rate from 4-6. A region some aerospace companies can only dream of.

The problems are, that they stock to much of some parts and not enough from others. That problems gets worse when programs reach end of life, obsolescence is a severe problem then.

Most of the demand fluctuations in aerospace, less so for spares, is home made. Delivery lead times and production lead times are so long, that done right, fluctuations are mainly a problem for long lead time items. And that is manageable.

I would agree that in most cases this is true.

>Worst case the price going up means they take less, which seems like a somewhat positive outcome.

That's already addressed by demand inelasticity. When price rises, the quantity demanded falls at a much lower rate. It's the same demand curve we see for healthcare. In a scenario where there is ample competition, the price equilibrium is not as skewed, but when supply is severely limited or suppliers collude, the price equilibrium inflates needlessly, which is exactly what we see in both controlled substances and healthcare.

My point about musk was more about his own children and relationships and how "family obligations" should be an obvious consideration if you want to start your own company. You shouldn't really complain about it after the fact.

But fair enough, I'm not going to argue too much. Reading through the comments it seems that access to decent education and a stable family seems to be a generous assumption for many people around the world. I would say where I grow up in Asia, cases of abusive/dysfunctional families tends to be less than the west, and people in general have decent access to and awareness of the importance of education. There are a fair number of successful entrepreneurs who used to be villagers, mostly because a fairly large portion of people were farmers back then

You can find plenty of discussions about this point specifically, both on HN and elsewhere.

For me personally, what drew me to Rust is a strong type system with a good standard library, a friendly compiler that helps me understand what i did wrong (instead of letting me shoot myself in the foot), integrated modern tooling (offline docs, tests and doctests), and more generally the "we can have nice things" mindset.

Interesting also that Rust plays well both as high-level and low-level language. It's used for manually manipulating bits of memory on embedded controllers, but is also really good as a type-safe Python-like scripting language. The static type system allows you to jump at any between lower/higher levels of abstractions depending on what you need and want to do, usually without breaking anything (see also "fearless refactoring").

Rust is not superior to every language. It's got a bunch of tradeoffs. It's just rather good in many cases, and keeps on improving because it's developed by the community in the open not from an ivory tower disconnected from our problems.
In the same vein I'm merely querying the funding of such.

Snark aside, I'm not aware of _any_ open source projects which are developed through altruism and not backed by full time sponsors from companies. Redis is no exception. It's still available as a complete open source offering, for free. Suggesting the maintainers have compromised the project because they're looking for a method to sustain development on a project that is depended on by many many developers is unhelpful, and naive.

Can you please define Putin political view in short?
Being poor means that you can't delegate a task like wealthier person would do. When you are poor you are often forced to become your own mechanic/doctor/accountant/lawyer (with results that can go from decent to tragic) and this takes a lot of mental cycles away from you. A part of your brain is always engaged in the process of allocating your scarce resources. All of the above takes quite a bit of effort that could be better spent studying or working, so there is some truth to what you are saying. It must also be said that a lot of poor people just aren't that bright and make very, VERY, poor decisions in life. Anybody who grew up in a dysfunctional family can attest that.

So I looked it up and found maybe C is a proxy for embedded:

https://wiki.dlang.org/Why_program_in_D#Embedded_Developers

Embedded D became possible in a later stage of D development. It never got traction, and still isn't recommended :/

Zig has cross-compilation almost from the beginning, a huge win for embedded, and setting a standard. Also having the build system integrated in the language solves many problems typical for the embedded space. If Zig continues to have a focus on embedded, it may well preempt Rust in that space.

I've worked with with hospitals, and they do things incredibly inefficiently due to all sorts of bureaucratic and political nonsense. There's a massive amount of resistance to change. I believe they're allowed to get away with it primarily because hospitals generally aren't allowed to fail. I'm not arguing we need to close up hospitals, but something needs to change there to encourage improvement.

> If renting is too expensive, you buy, and if buying is too expensive, you rent.

Buying a house is not that easy. You need a bank to approve your mortgage, plus pay upfront money (plus pay for furniture and such) that people might not have because high rent prices stop them from saving money. More renters and less buyers might cause more wealthy people entering the market for speculation, compensating the decrease of people that want to buy to live. And on the other hand, given that housing is a necessity and not something that people can live without, landlords can still push prices up even with increased offer.

In general, I see a lot of takes on the housing market that focus too much on the theory and forgets the reality: people need houses, moving is not easy nor cheap, speculators and realtors can push prices up without that much pressure, and a lot of people don't have enough to face the expenses of buying a house.
