If anything the author is too generous. In particular, in leaving room that the cultishness (call it a clique, or, a droll derive through the hyperspaces of language fetishization) is less than intentional.

Yes, it's a cult; no, there is no sekret killer app.

But again, the point is that the users often don't know how badly their email is broken.

Unless the user is actively expecting to receive an important mail around a certain time and therefore likely to notice its absence, the failures are either quiet (messages dropped in junk automatically that may or may not be noticed by the recipient later) or totally silent (as with ISPs that drop mail they deem inappropriate entirely, without notifying either party).

Even if someone is expecting a mail, as the experience with business customers I mentioned demonstrates annoyingly often, the failure to receive that email may be assumed to be the fault of the expected sender, not the recipient's own mail service.
I’m sorry, but I don’t buy the theory that burning out your most talented engineers until they quit in an effort to put out an app update 6 months early (or whatever) is a healthy long-term strategy.
By acquiring and releasing resources. I’m not intimately familiar with Rust, so I’ll use Go as an example.

Create a one-buffered channel: `make(chan T, 1)`. To acquire, receive from the channel. If the object is in use, the receive will block (goroutine put to sleep) until it’s available. To release, send the acquired object to the channel.

On a language level, no mutexes.
> It avoids allocating memory and copying data unnecessarily

My experience is the exact opposite. Pervasive shared mutability leads to developers making lots of unnecessary copies out of fear that some other part of the code will change values out from under them.
Did Uber struggle as a result of this?

I know they struggled as a result of Travis in general, but do they have trouble hiring? Has their development pace really slowed down (Kotlin aside)? Is their product suffering as a result?

You might want to check THAT out.

They found other species could be infected with SARS-CoV-1 after 4 months and hypothesized that civet cats were the intermediate species, but that still hasn't been proven yet.

After the discovery of SARS-like WIV1 in bats in Yunnan in 2013 it was determined in 2016 that WIV1 or a very closely related virus may have jumped directly to humans:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_SARS-like_coronavirus_WIV1

And specifically reference 4:

https://www.pnas.org/content/113/11/3048

"Both full-length and chimeric WIV1-CoV readily replicated efficiently in human airway cultures and in vivo, suggesting capability of direct transmission to humans."

So we STILL don't quite understand the origin of SARS1 and if it used an intermediate species or not.

There's still a very similar mystery as to how the closest animal coronavirus is found in a bat in Yunnan, but it showed up in humans in Guangdong roughly 700 miles away (but since it was in 2003 and there's no biological lab in Guangdong there's no competing lab-leak hypothesis over SARS1, even though the observation is exactly the same).
If you've not read The Gervais Principle yet, I'd suggest spending the time to do so.

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/

To be clear, the principle is one of many lenses that you can view the world through. I suggest it to be used as but one tool in your mental tool box. However, it is a good tool.

If you have read it, then I am also at a loss as to what to do with 'the clueless'.

I'd suggest trying to engage in more 'powertalk' with 'the sociopaths' and trying to mirror the path of Ryan the Intern. But that deep cynicism just rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps I am more of a Toby in the end.

Nobody is calling for a completely omniscient IRS.

What should happen is you log in to irs.gov and see everything they know (number of kids, income, interest, reported charitable giving, etc...), you fill out the missing pieces (energy credits, when you bought and sold stocks, charitable giving not reported to them, etc...), and they run the calculation. It should take almost no time at all for people with simple returns and only a few minutes of inputting some basic figures for most everyone else, with of course a handful of people who have terminally complex returns and need an accountant.

Instead you have to manually enter all of the information the IRS already knows because otherwise nobody would pay for TurboTax or H&R Block. Only real accountants would be necessary for those special cases where people have complex holdings.

When it dies and is absolutely unsalvageable.

The current one I use was bought in 2016 (i3/8GB RAM/1TB mechanical HDD) and still works absolutely fine. I use it for browsing, media consumption and light coding, about 12-15h daily. I guess it helps that I use a lightweight Linux setup; Windows would very likely give me more grief without at least investing in an SSD.

Some issues:

1. Battery is dead but I use it as a stand-in for a desktop machine anyway.

2. Webcam and mic are in bad shape. I rarely need them but when I do I use Droidcam. Even midrange phones have better cameras than top-end laptop webcams nowadays.

My error. Good point about the orphan rule. Because I was writing about Tuples what I was talking about is actually impossible in your own code I think, because tuples are inherently foreign. Even though the code in std looks tame, you are forbidden from doing this elsewhere. Even for a hypothetical local type MyType you are forbidden from attempting:

impl ForeignTrait for (MyType,u8)

The compiler will conclude that ForeignTrait is foreign, of course which is what we expected, but (MyType,u8) is also foreign even though MyType is local and so the orphan rule forbids this definition. Shame.

It doesn't make any sense to sidestep with new type because if you didn't want a tuple you could already define whatever type you wanted and this isn't an issue anyway, whereas if you do really want a tuple then a new type isn't a substitute.

It’s not always corporations. The people often capture regulatory powers too.

A good chunk if not the majority of wealth creation for most US households has been the value of their house. Older people own houses and have captured the upside of price increases over the decade. The young people are having a harder and harder time buying the exact same houses going up in price. If you go to any sort of planning meeting for a new development you’ll always run into cranky homeowners complaining that it will ruin the price of their property.

Where I live (Australia), the biggest issue is the massive bubble in property prices. Housing affordability has gotten a lot worse over the last few decades. Arguably it has produced a massive wealth transfer from the younger to older generations. I guess inevitably that is going to be partially reversed when those older generations pass on, and leave some of their accumulated wealth to their children. But inheritance is a very uneven process – some people have more children than others, some people spend a lot more in their retirement than others, some people live a lot longer than others (which can lead to much of their accumulated wealth being spent on aged care), etc.

However I do feel like we are transitioning from a society in which each generation was expected to make it mostly on their own (with at best a little bit of help from their parents), to one with a much greater emphasis on inherited wealth. I think as well as property bubbles, another factor is shrinking family sizes. When the average family had 5+ kids, the children couldn't expect to inherit that much. Families with only 1 or 2 kids, the child can inherit a lot more. And even prior to inheritance, it is much easier to extend financial support to your children (such as helping them to buy a home in their 20s) when you only have 1 or 2 instead of 4, 5, 6, 7...

I wanted to drop strings which are not used anymore, you do need Rc for that (no way around it I think), but my problem was that I also needed that strings as a key to HashMap<String, Weak<String>>. So I use that HashMap to check if the string is interned and give a new counted reference as needed and also periodically check any weak refs that should be dropped. This works, but the key better be immutable (I think?) so you cant do HashMap<Weak<String>, Weak<String>> (HashSet?) and hence need second copy as a key.

Disc brakes are exactly this. For racing they are stupid because you don’t need better brakes and spare wheels no longer fit. Only ineos seems to have held out because for stage racing and gt the costs are so much higher. Quickstep used discs first because in one day racing a puncture at the wrong time always meant you lost, so discs didn’t make a material difference.
I'm a huge fan of croc! Even just for the sake of a single binary, but there's so much more to love about it.
This is a pretty pessimistic take. The real answer lies somewhere between budget and speed. If someone asked me to support non-latin alphabet, I'd have no idea where to start and the amount of people that would use that feature isn't worth the consideration. It's not that I don't fathom it, it's that I don't have time for that shit.

How to Avoid High Conflict
There's also a significant trend in frame design towards steeper seattube angles. This shifts the center of mass forward, especially when pointed uphill which helps keep the front wheel from wandering.

Geometry matters. My 2020 35lb enduro bike with 170/160mm travel climbs at least as well than my 2002 28lb XC bike with 125/115mm travel. That's with a frontend that is almost 5 degrees slacker and probably 100mm longer reach. And flat pedals.

Been riding since 1988...bikes are absolutely better now than they've ever been.

At a certain point, no, it really isn't. When a single individual has enough money to influence public policy where I live, I would definitely say that's too much money. It becomes my business when someone who votes with their dollars gets more votes than I do with my actual vote.

I think 4chan is the perfect example of a site filled with lots of hate speech. There are well-established legal precedents for what hate speech is already. There would not be enforcers of this on each website but if a person's rights are violated they would be able to sue the company and a court would decide if they were censoring the person without a legitimate reason or not. It would have to be done at the federal level one way or another due to Section 230 precluding state laws. If anything, Section 230 is too loosely defined right now:

"any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected"

The otherwise objectionable bit is basically a blank check to censor anything.

An interesting tidbit from Hamming in The Art of Doing Science and Engineering [1][2] on the name "Information Theory"

> Information Theory was created by C.E.Shannon in the late 1940s. The management of Bell Telephone Labs wanted him to call it “Communication Theory” as that is a far more accurate name, but for obvious publicity reasons “Information Theory” has a much greater impact—thus Shannon chose and so it is known to this day.

It's about comprehending the situation quickly, the actual action is extremely simple and low fidelity.
>Two weeks before my starting date, my manager emails me to ask if there's any way I can do Android.

I've solo made and published over 15 Android apps but I went full Dunning-Kruger and now I think I know nothing about Android development. It is too complex. If manager asks me, I don't know Android. I can't imagine Android development can be known.

If you ask someone if they know Android development and they say yes, be skeptical.
I lack your optimism; when they pass on, their houses will be transferred to small- and big-time rental companies, who will rent their houses to young people for more than a mortgage would cost.

Clearly "anglosphere programmers" fathom it every day when they use UTF-8 almost universally in webpages. Also, you know, things like emoji are pretty popular in the "anglosphere" as well.

It's obvious that the real reason is an ancient e-mail RFC, and that while upgrading webpages to UTF-8 was relatively easy, in that it only needs 2 parties to support it -- the browser and the server -- upgrading e-mail is almost infinitely more complicated, because you have to wait for virtually all email code in the world to be upgraded, since an e-mail address is pretty useless if it doesn't work everywhere.

It other words, it's a coordination problem. Not an ignorance problem.

And unfortunately, Punycode [1] doesn't seem to be a particularly viable stepping-stone/compatibility solution here. E.g. if a user tries to use ドメイン名例@example.com and it fails, asking them to instead type in a seemingly-gibberish eckwd4c7cu47r2wf@example.com, where that could also conflict with a real e-mail address of that name.

I still see bar-ends all the time...on mountain bikes being used as commuters in the city, which I suspect is the majority of the "mountain bike" market, at least if you include 2nd-hand sales.

Exactly. If I do glyphA.contours[0].points[0].x = 1

They are indeed meant to be discovered -- they are usually listed on menu items. You can hold down modifier keys like Option, Command, Ctrl and Shift to see how the menu item's text actually changes to reflect the action that will be taken if you press the respective key command. Very discoverable. I've never seen any other OS that does this (not that I look for it specifically). Also note when ellipses at the end of a menu item disappears when you are holding Option or whatever -- this means the action will be taken immediately, instead of asking the user to confirm (quick example is on "Empty Trash" in the Finder menu).
How is this more functional than IO in Haskell? Your approach seems to be the same as I/O handling in Haskell minus the convenience of monads and plus caching. Not all that different.

I'm not saying the south had the moral high-ground, just that this is proof that the north didn't hold it either.

Yes- they (the south) wanted slaves to be counted 5/5 for apportionment for the purposes of representation. I'm not sure how that's getting it backwards. Women and children at the time had a similar "be counted, but don't get to vote" status.

My point is that the north wasn't being altruistic with a lot of slavery/ equality issues, but ruthlessly political. And that being anti-slavery at the time definitely didn't (necessarily) mean being pro-abolition (even if they labeled themselves abolitionists), or even anti-racist (not by the standards of the time and definitely not by the standards of today), which is how it's now often framed. And what the comment I was replying to implied.

Northern states being "anti-slavery" was not the evidence of moral high-ground that people give them credit for.
