TIL: That there's an ORG to effectively harass people like Daniel Stenberg to rewrite popular stuff in Rust.

To the Internet Security Research Group just fuck you! you will take my C++ out of my dead cold hands.

I've never expected to see fascist ideology to get encoded into language culture.

Lets make it even better, why don't we all get back to typewriters giving there will be no more bugs?

There is a right way to do it: Do your own cool things in Rust. It will get popular and the language will get there eventually. This is not the right way, as developers are formed over technologies and their knowledge is even more important than the tools.
Rust will form developers that will do great things, if C++ is a thing of the past it will get obsolete organically.

Please rewrite Linux in Rust if you wish but leave Linus Torvalds alone. I cant wait for the next Rust driver module to freeze my flawless Linux in "dirty" C..

> Pretty soon, Amazon might hit an upper limit where they can't reasonably raise their offer.

I mean, then they'll either raise prices to pay for it, or spend money towards improving working conditions, or whatever they need to do.

But it's all extremely straightforward. There's zero evidence that Amazon is in some kind of unique position where they'll be unable to be profitable and have to go out of business, while Wal-Mart and Target succeed. To the contrary, Amazon's doing better than anyone else.
Linus is very disciplined, so yeah, he likely does work 9-5, like most organized people with a family do.

As for 'micromanaging working hours', it's not a question of micromanagement, but of communication. It is far easier for everyone to work in the same rythm, knowing that you aren't distracting a person you need to contact from his private life.

> financial motivators don't matter _after_ you already have a comfortable life

Oh, this is a slightly different topic. Of course if your belly is growling money will motivate you a lot, and that motivation tends to go down the more you go past your comfort baseline.

But think of pay disparity for example. Maybe your belly is full but your slacker colleague is making more money than you. That has a good chance of demotivating you, making you ask "why should I try harder?". Reducing this disparity and (perceived) inequity, eliminating the demotivating factor, goes a long way and has a far longer lasting effect than just the same extra money would bring otherwise.

It could be, because cultures that were using human bodies, instead of burning or burying them, went extinct.

> Prehistory of endocannibalism controversy
Whether or not endocannibalism was commonplace through much of human prehistory remains controversial.

A team led by Michael Alpers, a lifelong investigator of kuru,[14] found genes that protect against similar prion diseases were widespread, suggesting that such endocannibalism could have once been common around the world.[15][16]

A genetic study with a range of authors published by the University College London in 2009 declared evidence of a "powerful episode" of natural selection in recent humans. This evidence is found in the 127V polymorphism, a mutation which protects against the kuru disease. In simpler terms, it would appear the kuru disease has affected all humans to the extent we have a specialised immune response to it.[17] However, a study drawing from hundreds of resources in 2013 claims further that 127V derives from an ancient and wide spread cannibalistic practice, not related to kuru specifically, but "kuru-like epidemics" which appeared around the time of the extinction of the neanderthals who co-existed with humans. This allows the suggestion that cannibalistic practises may have caused diseases which killed the neanderthals, but not the humans because of the 127V resistance gene.[18]

>The earliest known reference to a requirement for a six-foot burial occurred in 1665 during the Great Plague of London. John Lawrence, the Lord Mayor of London,[13] ordered that the bodies of plague victims "...shall be at least six foot deep." The city officials apparently believed this would inhibit the spread of the disease, not realising that the true vector was fleas living on rats in the streets.
No, but the people operating in Russia like to travel elsewhere, and do.

Also, the US and allies can enforce Russian AML laws as written on paper. If, say, the UK freezes all of Oleg Deripaska's assets there, Vova will absolutely get the message. We're not going to bring down the Russian government with military force for a million different reasons, but doing it with sanctions and prosecution is a totally different story.

Based on that, Wiktionary's standard of accuracy is what will be accepted by a non-expert. That's a pretty low standard; that's people talking in a college dorm room or in a bar. It's nothing personal - my intuitions on etymology are no better.

That's also how misinformation is created and spreads; it's right out of the textbook. Research shows that our intuitions about what's true are terrible if we don't have expertise in the issue, and that is how we are most easily fooled.

They aren't drop-in replacements, but I think "equivalents" is fair.

Your existing bash scripts don't work in an alternate universe where computers come with ripgrep not grep, but that universe isn't very different otherwise. Some things are a little easier to do, some things are a little harder to do, there are different bugs than in our universe, but it's way less strange than a universe where Lisp Machines still dominate, or even one where the Network uses X.25 rather than IP.
The people who decided to shut down Vine really screwed the pooch on this one.
I completely disagree. In fact, my friend and I used .NET our last Startup Weekend event and were the only team to build a complete product against teams using Python/Ruby/NodeJs. You can in fact write C#/ASP.NET in a rapid hacked together way similar to Python if you want.

In our startup products, we've built entire production sites with data stores, front-ends, payment systems, and the core product, in a few weeks.

I think it greatly depends on the skill level of the developer. In the end, "startup dev" is mostly tying together a dozen libraries, a datastore, and whatever your secret sauce product might be.
This appeals to me even as a professional dev because I'm not a professional iOS dev, but occasionally I feel some interest in throwing together a simple iOS app before I hit the wall of Xcode and give up
Rather than (or in addition to) having typical casual forum discussions about yet another example of <x>, I think it would be a useful exercise for humanity to start a crowd sourced initiative to start assembling a singular, comprehensive, authoritative (as an eventual goal) list of things that humanity does at scale that contribute to the complex chain of (largely unknown/unrealized) causality that produces sub-optimal outcomes in shared physical reality.

Doing this perfectly would not be easy, but I suspect perfection is not an absolute requirement.

Efficiency is a big deal in part because you need to radiate out all that thermal energy. A radiator that’s dumping 100kw of thermal energy for 1.3kw of electricity is much heavier than a 1.3kw solar panel anywhere near earth. Add 50kg for fuel and and things look even worse.

By comparison the voyager probe RTG used ~1/10th the fuel for a little over 1/10th the power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHW-RTG So the only advantage was cheaper fuel.

> “Never negotiate with terrorists” is a simple and clear mantra, and as most clear and simple concepts it hides a lot of assumptions.

This has nothing to do with that idea.

The reason the orgs paid the random once was because they had a severe lack of backup and other data safety protocols in combination with a vector to be infected (from all what we know, the latter is common and difficult to avoid): paying the ransom is likely their only choice to maintain the business.

It is not surprising at all that these orgs can and will be infected again, and will continue to show a lack in the security and data safety departments, and so they will continue to pay ransoms.

It's sort of an inverse survivorship bias: if you get infected once because you're susceptible, you're likely to get infected again unless you fix your susceptibility.
The bottom of the ocean is a very large place and prime nodule territory required by humans is likely to be much less than one percent of that area. Sea bottom mining would exist only until asteroid collection becomes feasible. Say about 30 years. The alternative is severely degrading much of the above ocean environment. The modern world economy is filled with trade offs and this looks to be one of them.

I think that what the majority of the people within the industry want to do (microservices and distributed systems, much like FAANG) far exceeds their capability to deal with the complexities (such as testing distributed systems) and doesn't always even fit their needs.

I get the feeling that if more people were okay with developing monoliths (albeit modular ones), then a lot of things could be easier to do, such as doing TDD properly and being able to refactor without fearing the unforseen consequences.

Heck, maybe the projects that i work on in my $dayjob would even have proper documentation, decent test coverage, as well as a set of tools to support the development processes, instead of having to waste time managing the configuration, deployments, as well as system integrations. Maybe it's a matter of there not being enough workforce (or the managerial folk not seeing much point in investing resources into testing and other ops related activities that don't generate business value directly, a worrying trend i've noticed), but right now i'm implementing Ansible and containerization to at least simplify some of this stuff, but it feels like an uphill battle, as i'm also supposed to ship new features.

Surely i'm not the only one that kind of sees why the person that you're replying to would express the viewpoints that they did? It's hard to do elaborate E2E tests when everything is figuratively on fire constantly and you're struggling with a complicated architecture which may or may not be necessary. I'm probably projecting here, though, but every single enterprise project that i've worked on has been like that.

We deal with a lot of crap where a certain business entity has several different biz keys that can reasonably be used to uniquely identify the thing.

I would concur with adding a synthetic primary key, and maintaining all of the relevant business/domain keys on the same type.

The advantage of this approach is that you can still keep 100% correct relations between your internal types, even if the domain keying scheme is fucked up or otherwise broken per your original assumptions. It's really easy to add a new column to refine the additional domain keys. Fixing a bad PK and all the things that talk to it is much harder.

So currently we don't host any wallets. Clients open custodial accounts with pre-existing exchanges and then leave an API key for us to retrieve transaction and balance data. When they request a trade, we simply let the exchange know that the client has requested a trade, and we don't move any money on the client's behalf.

We are currently seeking money transmitter licenses so that we can offer a hosted wallet of our own, where we hold the exchange accounts on the client's behalf, and act as their counterparty for every trade so they don't have to maintain accounts at multiple venues. This version of the application is not yet available.

That was a bit of the "Reluctance to move" aspect.

I've moved across country twice and from one end of a state to another twice... its a pain, but I like new places.

One of the companies that I worked for (smallish city in rural midwest). There were a few tech jobs there (and a reasonable sized tech company)... several of my co-workers had never been further than about 100-200 miles away from where they were born (and then, only as vacation).

Yea... the reluctance to move is a problem.

I attribute part of this to my (gen X) and the "this is how things are" that I got from my parents (boomers).

My father's family had a few moves through the years... not too many, but a few. My mother's family moved several times (and once even to another territory) as part of my grandfather's career. Once my parents were married, they moved twice before settling down.

For me, when I graduated college, it was almost expected that I move somewhere else for a time. And I did. My brother too... and my sister. My brother (gen X) has moved five times since graduating college and my sister (gen X / millennial cusp) has also had five major moves since graduating college.

I believe there's a generational shift in that expectation of moving out - possibly from the financial insecurities that the dot com crash, '09 recession, and the '20 recession have instilled in the millennials and gen Z as they look for jobs... though that's just a guess.

> rather than looking at the three cities that have the most jobs.

There are a lot of cities/metro areas that have a lot of jobs that people tend to pass by. https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes151251.htm - note that there are other classifications that are applicable, but I can't get a page that has a set of them together... so just using this one as an example.

If you look at the raw employment figures, Dallas, Chicago, DC, and LA are way up there too.

If you expand this to the location quotient (based on how many jobs there are compared too other jobs) you'll find many other cities have quite a few jobs too. Huntsville, Durham, and Madison are also up there.

And instead, they are widely used and hated!

Businesses are great at iterating to find out just how much customers are willing to put up with in quality reductions before they actually leave, and also great at putting up barriers to shift that tipping point further in the company's favour. It turns out people will put up with a lot. Even stuff they hate.

We have the technology and ability to create things that are far higher quality, but it's usually a losing proposition from a profit-seeking perspective.

It's just the same old "worse is better" story.

GNU coreutils isn't a standard. It conforms to and extends the POSIX standard. If it was just talking about GNU echo, then that `echo` would work the same on every machine. It even explicitly mentions other `echo` implementations, like the shell builtins. `echo` itself is portable, none of its flags are.
