At least one team member was a recent MIT course 6 graduate who was able to pick up other new technologies quite quickly without any oversight or assistance. They could get things done in Rust, too, but after a few months felt far from confident.

In order to get those so much vaunted C-like speeds the Julia fanboys claim, you need lots of contortions and hacks. Off the bat, Julia speeds are mediocre.

I have been writing rust for personal projects for years. I love how the book structures the project and it is test driven. I will be using it as an example when I do projects moving forward. I like that it is one complete project a lot as well.

It is off topic for the book but I want to add a yew.rs frontend. I call it the PAY stack (Postgres actix and yew).

I really don't understand Amazon's position here. A small number of cheap improvements would vastly raise worker satisfaction. More bathrooms through the building, paid time in security lines, and some honest safety interventions are all cheaper than raising wages or even, say, a private space program or an airliner fleet.
He's probably not deleting or flagging anything because he's aware it will make him look biased. This is a common strategy. Dang picking and choosing only to censor the most insidious things remains an open possibility.

Also, what decade long track record? You have a record of posts that were deleted or censored? That would be a track record. But guess what? none exists. That's a fact.

All I'm saying is that a conflict of interest exists and because of this conflict of interest, dangs comment is pure sketch.

Am I going to let my neighbor borrow a million dollars just because he has good credit? No. It would be unwise to do so and you blindly trusting dang is highly, highly unwise.

The remaining rare cases consist of honest mistakes (that can be politely corrected) or bullies (who the rest of us already denounce).

Costco’s customers are the top 3 socioeconomic quintiles, Walmart’s customers are the bottom 3 (or middle 3).

Either way, Costco’s customers are richer, and they have a different business model. They are objectively a good employer, but a lot of that has to do with their customer not being extremely price sensitive and being able to afford to buy large quantities, which also results in less loss due to theft.

You can find the richer parts of any town by searching for Costco.

As for founder net worth, it’s not very meaningful if a founder owns it or others own it in 401k. Divide the Walmart founder net worth by employees and it still would not give them a meaningful improvement in wages for long. They’re simply a low margin business selling to customers who cannot afford to spend extra.
That doesn't make sense. It's never cheaper to rewrite a product from scratch yourself unless the pricing is truly messed up. People justify writing and giving away open source code in all sorts of ways but not that it's cheaper than buying.

I suppose it's not up for discussion (since it's offtopic) that I find this mindset strange, it feels more like segregation rather than inclusivity, "I want to watch tutorials only made by my group."...

Then again, looking "Emacs tutorial" on YouTube I re-encountered a particular weird character I saw before, he's got a homepage where he solicits Patreon donations to ask him a question, he does YouTube streams where maybe 5 people show up where he talks about what you'd expect a "neckbeard nerd" to talk about, he seems to have been unable to find employment for many years, and he's also talked about women in weird way. I would not want my daughter to learn Emacs from him.
This is how corporate taxes work in Estonia. There is no income tax, but dividends/distribution is taxed. I think it's great overall.

However there are some loopholes that companies still figure out. In Estonia's case we have big international banks that found a juicy loophole. The local Estonian branches pay no corporate tax, but they also never pay dividends. Instead they give out a no interest loan to their foreign mothership and have no intention of ever getting it back. This loophole has since been patched, but it shows that companies will still hire teams of lawyers to find new loopholes to not pay a single cent.

From the perspective of Richard Dawkins / The Selfish Gene, there are two distinct incarnations of evolution, driven by the same force (natural selection).

Genetic; unit of selection is the gene, substrate is DNA: responsible for our biological development; our eyesight, innate cognitive capacity, etc. Responsible also for the past ~4 billion years of exponential growth in biological complexity. Survival of the gene drives natural selection, so it requires embodied survival.

Memetic; unit of selection is the idea/“meme”, substrate is our brains: responsible for civilization, invention, cultural development. Responsible for the last ~20,000 years (or within that order of magnitude) of the development of culture, science, and civilization. Survival of the idea is what drives natural selection, not of the biological phenotype/person/brain carrying it.

If "bogus assessments" lead to an incentive to declare a low value for your land, then that will be caught if and when you try to sell it or rent it out for a higher price. So if people just stick with a low valuation to pay less land tax, this will have the effect of greatly decreasing land prices, which are the principal cause of housing unaffordability, which seems like a good thing to me.

To be fair, these jobs do exist in a sizable amount. I’ve almost never worked more than 40hrs/week and have short commute times. (Lunch is included in my working hours) I’ve seen many places where people work potentially less hours than I do during certain seasons.

I’m a pretty productive employee (when I want to be and feel incentivized) and am paid well enough to be in the 1%.

I still agree with what you said. Just want to say that these jobs exist. It’s up to the employee to fight for it though more than anything. Many employees in tech are a bit of pushovers though. (Or are afraid of losing their visa)
I’m wondering how this is supposed to interact with zoning? There is a lot of agriculturally-zoned land in California that would turn into housing developments pretty quick if it weren’t illegal. It’s typically in a nice-looking area near some water or a park, not in the middle of a city.

If you keep the zoning then maybe the land isn’t worth that much, but if property taxes were based on the “true” land value then it would mean farmers sell out faster to create sprawl.
This and even if they are behaving that can change anytime, especially in nature. This is coming from someone who just broke an elbow because of off leash dogs on a trail. Trail allowed bikes and dogs on leash. Dogs were on the side of the trail sniffing, caught wind of something else and immediately jumped in front of bike. I was going slow and watching them like a hawk. Dodged one and couldn’t the other. Owners were on a jog and literally ran off after asking if I was ok once. If the trail says keep dogs on leash , there might be a good reason.
They're working on it but they don't have an actual released version that works on stable Rust. So you'd end up having to pick stable Rust or stable framework, which is not great.

The thread started with "federation" which slowly turned to a "global empire" in your comment. Yeah, with that premise you are right, but that was not the premise of the OP. We were discussing democratic federations where member states have significant independence. This is also what makes it different from a monopoly: a big company or an empire would fit the bill, a democracy is not a monopoly.

Sure, the EU, for instance, fails at that utopic view for now, because of how byzantine and convoluted its attempt at democracy is. But we are getting there and might even succeed, especially given that we have never before had access to today's "almost post scarcity" technology.

But yes, you are right that it is not a guarantee. But it seems like one of the worthiest goals we can have.

The comment I responded to called me "extremely inconsiderate", "hostile" and "violent" while I'm neither of those things (well, "inconsiderate" when it comes to how I handle my dogs seems to be up for debate at least). Are those the stereotypes you mean are visible in my comment?

> Leash your dog. To do otherwise is selfish and rude.

Thank you for sharing your opinion but it does not help me understand WHY, which I why I made my initial comment in the first place. You have something to contribute, contribute. But re-iterating exactly the same piece of information as what I replied to without any sort of addition or effort does not help anyone in this discussion. If you want to explain why you feel that way, please do.
your comparison is pretty weak.

WWII killed only 3% of the world's population - by far not the deadliest event in human history.

dinosaurs were around for 165M years. humans have been around for 200k? and we've only been destroying plant and animal ecosystems (on which we depend) at industrial scales for a few hundred years?

you seem very confident that we have a bright future because WWII didn't wipe us out 75 years ago and we've been expanding our abuse of resources ever since?

i think humans will be around for a while, but not for 10 million years and certainly not at present population levels.

> If you're going to legally treat corporations the same as actual humans ...

We don't do that, though, not by a long shot. There are some cases where the rules are the same but many, many cases where they are different. So I don't think that can serve as an argument that they should be taxed the same.

No. Because, they have a single physical nexus and can't pick and pick and choose where to declare their profits, after of course reaching a sweat-heart deal.

If a small business doesn't pay a tax the IRS thinks it owes, the IRS sends armed agents to serve process. They have no leeway compared to the large multinationals that pay nothing.

I miss XUL. Yes, you gave over complete control to the author of the plugin. But with a properly functioning rating and reporting system, bad extensions would be flagged and removed before you were statistically likely to use them. Also, I think that allowing users to open a "banking mode" with extensions disabled would be better than removing user choice entirely. But considering that browsers are quite literally a business, and you need funding to continue to develop one, all browsers had to remove user choice in order to not get hit by a "firefox is insecure" smear campaign.
I agree that it's not well defined, but I'd guess that a good rule of thumb is "fd 0 isn't isatty, and the process has the info (from env vars or arguments) necessary to open graphically" with an additional switch for overriding in either direction.
One of the most common things that developers generally build is a build tool. I really believe building CI/CD tool, build tool is gateway to devtool space.

Having said that I truly believe build tool, CI/CD space is overcrowded, very competitive and the competing solutions are not so much differentiates, may be 10% better. I don't want to discourage you because there are lot of inherent learning while building build too.

You probably want to think how you completely revolutionize the build tool space.

I'm perplexed with your endorsement #2 above: Why would it be a good thing for tax breaks to end up flowing into landlords' pockets?
I don't think corporate taxation has always been this bad, so there's no reason why is should be impossible to return. To something reasonable.

And while 1-5 are good, they don't pay for the massive infrastructure and other investments that governments have made the enable corporations to do business in the first place. Those resources have to come from somewhere. I don't see it likely, for example, for dozens of corporations to come together and fund interstate highway and bridge maintenance.

I might agree with you more if corporate profits were plowed back into higher pay or better benefits for employees, significant voluntary investment back into society, etc. But benefiting from government investments in their ability to do business without paying taxes essentially means they are extracting their profits indirectly from all individual tax payers whether or not they are even customers.

I do #1, #3, #4, #5 and I'm still expected to pay taxes.

Those who do not understand Make are doomed to reinvent it poorly.

When you do finally outgrow Make you should be looking at Bazel or similarly full build system.

Creating Make with YAML syntax is strictly worse than Make and yet this has to be the most popular style of "new build systems" I am seeing recently and it really does confuse the shit out of me.

EDIT: Realized this is Show HN so here is some constructive critisism.
If this is a learning exercise on how to build graph style build execution systems then carry on.
If however you think this is needed I think you should invest some time learning from Bazel and other new generation build systems.
Ideally take some large multi-project builds and try converting them between this tool and Bazel and see if you can understand what is different paying close attention to cachability, parallelism and repeatability.
That last one, repeatability is actually what makes Bazel stand out from most of it's competitors so it's worth understanding why it values it so highly when it clearly has a very high cost.
I really don't understand how poorly it seems that some websites and browsers are doing even in environments that they have no right to have issues. Like sufficient or high amounts of everything from CPU, GPU, RAM and network...
This snipped buried in the Newsweek article stood out (for me):

One important piece was an extensive Medium post by the Canadian longevity entrepreneur Yuri Deigin that discussed RaTG13, a virus Shi Zhengli had revealed to the world in a February 3 paper in the journal Nature. In that paper, Shi presented the first extensive analysis of SARS-CoV-2, which had seemed to come from nowhere—the virus was unlike any that had been seen before, including the first SARS, which had killed 774 people from 2002 to 2004. In her paper, however, Shi also introduced RaTG13, a virus that is similar in genetic makeup to SARS-CoV-2, making it the only known close relative at the time.

The paper was vague about where RaTG13 had come from. It didn't say exactly where or when RaTG13 had been found, just that it had previously been detected in a bat in Yunnan Province, in southern China.

The paper aroused Deigin's suspicions. He wondered if SARS-CoV-2 might have emerged through some genetic mixing and matching from a lab working with RaTG13 or related viruses. His post was cogent and comprehensive. The Seeker posted Deigin's theory on Reddit, which promptly suspended his account permanently.
I like Nolan Lawson's take [1] that this is a good thing, at least when it comes to the test itself: they're willing to push other teams at Google to improve (rather than lowering the bar for everyone else).

I guess you could argue that they should've done that pushing internally, but that's really a concern only for Google itself. As long as it works, it's a win for users.

I think it was inevitable...when I first created my HN account in 2009, accelerators were a novel concept, and each new cohort produced exciting new startups that I was eager to watch and wanted to emulate. After a few years it felt like all the cohorts started to blend into each other, and demo days weren't interesting anymore, and there weren't any startups I cared to follow. It's similar to what happened with crypto...with Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, it was an interesting sector to follow. But with millions of coins and tokens floating around, it's hard to follow.
