"But if 2,000 Apple employees are going to insist that they feel literally unsafe working alongside a man who wrote a love letter to a woman who towers over him in heels, I’d like to hear their take on serving under, and massively profiting from, partnership with the author of such classics as “Bitches Ain’t Shit” and “Lyrical Gangbang,” who is also the subject of such articles as “Here’s What’s Missing from Straight Outta Compton: Me and the Other Women Dr. Dre Beat Up.”"

Tiktok is a better version of Twitter. Much more high bandwith of information with, sound, video, and text. And much higher interaction data to optimize feed.

I don't know, that just raises the stakes so that losing would be much more embarrassing (as if that's the most important thing in geopolitics).

I mean, imagine the scenario where Taiwan becomes a U.S. state and then China invades and takes it anyways. And suppose the U.S. can't take it back without all-out (possibly nuclear) war, so they back down and let China have it.

That's a possible outcome that would have to be contemplated if Taiwan were to join the U.S.

It's strange that some people view UIs as being some of the simplest software. Once you've considered the state management, asynchronous nature (meaning your code could be run in many different permutations), graphical elements (graphics' complexity upper bound being equivalent to what you might see in a video game), legacy APIs (old browsers, shims, or old OSes), and IO such as network requests, it ends up being incredibly complex. The number of hours I've seen being spent fighting Webpack are uncounted. From where I'm standing, it's clear the complexity is already there, it's just totally unmanaged.

Rust will make a great UI language once the ecosystem has matured and async has gotten polished more. If upgrading the "Webpack" of the future meant just resolving compiler errors, we would be in a much better world. Same goes for upgrading dependencies on the frontend, which at my company becomes a blocker every 2 weeks or so due to the NPM security advisories being released, accompanied by the total lack of visibility into the dependencies' interplay that the Node ecosystem gives you.
It is actually worse than that. Many/most implementations of tabs are completely opaque to the window manager so if you want to programmatically control your browser windows e.g. by moving a window with a certain title to the front you can't do it for windows that contain a certain tab unless it is the active tab. Oops.

Legitimate question, is the UK actually allowing and if so is there significant migration out of Hong Kong? They said they would but reality is probably different.

I would sure hope so with Taiwan we allow that, but I personally believe if we get to that point we've already lost and the world will look very very different. Unless we're talking about precautionary evacuations and even still doesn't send a lot of confidence.

Seems like TSMC is a great first target too, unless MAD stands.

When will China have enough internal capacity and knowledge? Before the US? I know the US has large old fabs like one in MN I think that are secure for government needs so minimally we have that + Intel.

I'm a big China hawk though and strongly believe in more direction pressure now, let alone squirming away from our bluster & protection commitments if China becomes even more aggressive.

More seriously, there's probably only so many valid 6-wheeled rocker bogey suspension type rover designs that are possible, but the resemblance is uncanny. NASA also likely spent a lot of time studying photos of the Soviet Lunokhod rovers.

First, DC statehood is not popular. Not outside of DC itself and the delusions of the Democrats who realized, upon loosing Miami, that demographics isnt destiny. Most Americans see that the right way to correct the grievance of lack of representation is by returning DC where it came from - Maryland. The political junkies are loath to dillute the insane additional political power they'd wield if they became a state.

Really, tell me, what is the argument for DC statehood that isn’t more fairly addresses by returning it to MD?

Second Puerto Rico is an oppressed colony, and statehood is not a gift but the final step of erasing their dream of independence. As a Latin American “¡Yanquis, pendejos, váyase de L. America!”
You don't click. When you open the app, the first thing you see is a "random" video (selected by their creepily good algorithm). Watched it or don't like it? Swipe through and the next video instantly starts. The app is good at figuring out which videos get engaged with and promotes these.

Though there is the functionality to go to user profiles and click videos, like on Instagram and such, it's not the main functionality of the app.

There is a lot of locally available know-how in Europe to handle ugly process chemicals cleanly - existing semiconductor fabs and chemicals factories (an important industry - BASF Ludwigshafen is the biggest chemicals complex in the world) are managing fine. I guess the problem is taxes, slow permissions bureaucracy (including environmental aspects), and lack of subsidies as discussed in other threads. Delays are probably most expensive due to the need to put the billions of capital to work while revenue per wafer is high.

> It takes discipline to learn to write C++ in the modern way. It is work to keep up with improvements in the language and library, as new Standards are published. But many, many professionals do. C++ is not a toy. It has sharp edges that must be treated with respect. But if you do make the effort to keep up, and lean hard on the type system to help everywhere it can, the language delivers.

If it is such a core just to hope to, one day, be able to code that, maybe, won't crash, what do you think is the point of using C++ over Rust?

The Go idiom for set is a map with bool values and given that it'll just return false for keys that aren't initialized I really don't see what you're missing compared to having a dedicated type.

There are some specialized types you might occasionally want and I miss FP constructs too, but I don't think these are really serious impediments to productivity.

When it comes to domestic battery there's a lot of middle ground between guilty and innocent.

America has adopted what's called the Duluth model, which recognizes, correctly, that men are the more dangerous partner in a domestic relationship with a man and a woman in it. This has... consequences, in terms of who gets arrested, and who can therefore press charges.

When a couple get into a physical altercation, it's pretty common that neither of them looks very good, behavior-wise, to an outside observer. But it has to be pretty open-and-shut assault by the woman, usually with a weapon causing serious injury, for arrest and charges to fall on her shoulders.

Although if the guy was the kind of dude where your sister thought "hey, I wonder if this guy has a record?" well, that tells its own story, doesn't it?

Pretty good argument for not publishing mugshots, though: if a woman starts throwing shit at her boyfriend, and comes at him with her fists, and he pushes her away, he's probably going to spend a night in jail if the police get called due to all the hollering. No court date or (additional) jail time, though, just gets his stuff back and goes home.

Returning to MD would for sure solve a lot of the arguments about representation, tax issues, etc.

I agree on PR it's not as liberal at least socially as many would assume. But DC is 100% a very very liberal city.

Polling has moved our direction, right now a plurality outside the margin nationwide support DC statehood at least in the last polls I've seen asking it.

And personally as you can guess my obvious political worldview I also don't think DC statehood alone is even enough power to seriously tip the scales against all the Republican tactics and advantages with the many other small states with aging populations/young wealthy people moving out. DC would just tip the scale slightly more towards equal IMHO

I have never measured the speed of light myself. But Google and Wolfram Alpha agree with my memory of physics lectures and textbooks.

All of our epistemology is based on testimony. And in the degenerate but common case where the credibility of the source isn't considered, our epistemology devolves into memes.

If Wikipedians apply consistent effort towards reconciling contradictory information in favor of seeking out better* sources, then that makes it as robust a system as we know how to make.

I really dislike all the crypto stuff in Brave and I wish there was an option to just turn it off wholesale (the reward thing and the cards aren't covered by sync which to me feels like some sort of dark pattern) but otherwise it's good. Also feels somewhat snappier than Chrome.
I'd say there's more merit than I indicated in my post. Based on my discussion with peers elsewhere, I'd wager I'm pretty solidly Principal in your 5 tier list working their way to Architect. That's razor-close to my actual title now. We're also a fairly largish organization, just not Microsoft-sized. I'm also compensated appropriately, so it's not really a situation where my company is trying to save money.

I think part of the reason I came here at the low position that I did was that previously I was half of a 2-person engineering organization. The company just happened to bring in revenue in the billions YoY. There is a certain amount of competence involved in building a working infrastructure for such a company with such few human resources.

How do you come to the conclusion that autopilot is safer?

The Tesla press releases? It's the kind of uncritical analysis that you would expect from a company trying to market something.

Food for thought: By considering only automated and mnual driving you exclude basically all possibilities. Hybrid systems that are designed around the limitations of humans and machines seem to be a much more promising but less flashy solution if safety is the goal. This approach has a long history if you consider things like ABS and the traffic fatality statistics suggest it actually works. (Crash mitigation technologies surely muddy the waters.)

Both of these boil down to laziness, IMHO. And for how awful they are for half the internet, that's not okay to me. Not as a user or as a developer.

When a user requests a site they expect to get the site. When you utterly disregard their utterly reasonable expectation and force them to train someone's ML algorithm for free for a minute or two you utterly destroy the user experience.

If that's my experience as a user, your entire site gets an instant 1/10 rating from me. I'll likely leave instantly and never return.

I'm not saying that Rust is not a good language for UI, and im also not saying UI is simple. The problem is that you are just comparing it to JavaScript which is untyped and easy to beat.

In my case i'm comparing it with languages that are also powerful, safe, fast and more well designed for this kind of scenario, which JavaScript or Python aren't.

But if i had just two picks, between JavaScript or Rust, of course i would choose Rust without blinking. But once there is more options.. (in this case you can read my comments above).

And i agree with you, that if you sum it all, maybe you get more productive (as in ready to ship) in Rust than with JavaScript.
