> Counterpoint - slowing down the rate of change of a properly designed language makes it stronger. Having a vast amount of bolted-on cruft with inconsistent design principles makes a language pretty horrible. Example C++

Isn't C++ an example of a language that moves slowly and still has lots of bolted on features? Having used it a bit, I would use Rust as an example of a language whose features are very thoughtfully considered and not "bolted on" at all.

If we're just looking at C++ and Rust and drawing conclusions, I would expect the conclusion would be "moving super slowly correlates with more bolted on features, not fewer".
So corporations can't literally have intent or motivation but they can be cruel. Or maybe we're talking about metaphorical cruelty?

I think the American press is implicated in widespread delusions about dispersed patterns of settlement and car mobility. Many newspaper and TV networks are funded significantly by car makers and real estate agents, so they have a self-interest in not examining whether it's nonsense to build and move around the way we do. I think in the near future it will be obvious, at least to younger people, that everyone having a little detached house and two cars is pure nonsense. I imagine the birth year gradient of this perception will be similarly steep to the one seen for views of homosexuality and recreational marijuana.
Wait, “scarecrow” is offensive now? How?
in the languages I work with this is not a problem. Mox, for example, is what I use in Elixir, and even though "swapping out a module" is kind of a global change, it has facilities to track these mappings in runtime, even in concurrent testing, but the module is selected at compile-time, and only in test, so it is a "zero-cost abstraction" for running in prod.

I think this is just internalized pain of working with C++ (I suffered a lot with that 20 years ago). For systems-level stuff, I'm getting very excited about Zig, I imagine it will be basically "equally easy" to instrument these sorts of things at compile-time in Zig, as types are first-class values at compile-time. Zig is also super-composable; I have an example prime sieve that can run 60+ settings (combinations of single threaded, multithreaded, bool array, bitmap, hyperthread-awareness) by using a compile-time for loop across a series of instrumented settings; so long as I stay within the standard library the language itself already takes care of the polyfill for platform stuff, and I have access to those flags, if, say I wanted hyper-optimize for things like sse. I don't see any mocking libraries yet, but I doubt that instrumenting a mocking namespace in test will be any more difficult than it would be, in, say, elixir.
If the victim doesn't pay the first time, they suffer consequences and next time might decide to pay instead.

I have children and I love them. We lived is a wealthy,safe,easy place and country, they will be well educated.

There are times when I think what my life would have neen without them.

Very, very different. With pluses and minuses vs. what I have today but I can easily imagine a world without them.

This is to say that one can have all kind of philosophical theories on how it is with/without children and both are great, but once you chose a path it is over so it does not help to reimagine your life in the other case, except for some fun.
This is perhaps the most fun, physical manifestation of "market disruption" I've seen. Literally reinventing the wheel, badly.

So for Disney, RedBubble is willing to go to lengths to take down entires which "may" contain material that violates someone's trademarks rights, but when I would complain to RedBubble that someone has literally put an exact trademark I own on a shirt with my name in the title of the shirt (making it 100% obvious that there is no room for "this has nothing to do with you"), I couldn't for the life of me get them to stop selling it, despite repeated attempts (though I didn't try suing them; I might should actually try that)... :/.
Sort of, rolling starts are the standard at drag strips, and various auto magazines. What's more dishonest is not posting similar numbers for the other Tesla's.
>> We’re a diverse and quickly changing group of people passionately making the things happen that we want to put effort in. Including a bunch of people passionately trying to manage it all, trying to make space for all these efforts to happen in harmony.

This is very respectable and reasonable for Rust and many similar minded open source projects.

Of course there's another perspective on this as well. E.g. as a business owner I'd prefer languages with more predictable promises of stability and sustainability as C++, Java, C# or Go.

Again, this is all fine and in my opinion suites Rust very well. The reckless and short sighted evangelism of some Rust promoters is the one thing that doesn't fit well into this picture.
Where would you say it falls on the spectrum of animal abuse in relation to going fishing, fly swatting, and walking the dog? Those are all activities I'm personally ok with.
For the most part, the majority of the pagan gods are not exactly nice people in the stories. Plenty of rape and killing relatives to go around. Not that the Old Testament Yahweh is exactly a shining role model either.

Neither answer is wrong or bad. The problem arises from pretending one is the other. Good luck.

Interesting people come to hacker news. (I'd give another upvote for your username if I could.) What is the essential set of skills/foundation knowledge for a nuclear power plant operator of the sort that you get on a submarine?

What do you think of the submarine systems that were designed for you to interact with? Context - I have been thinking recently about submarines and wondering how crew size could be reduced through automation. (I am aware that a lot of work went into this on the Independence class ships, but my working assumption is that this was let down by poor structuring of the design team, rather than that automation is a fundamentally bad idea)

Tesla pretty much always gets 'panned' in early reviews. I'll reserve judgement until I can try it myself.

It's not that they don't make mistakes (the Model X and its doors were not great), but I don't trust the press on anything Tesla related - even less so now that they view Musk as a political enemy.

Remember the Model S on the pickup truck because the NYT writer drove around in circles intentionally to kill it and then lied about it for the story? When everyone is driving EVs within the next ten years it'll be even more obvious than today how fabricated that was.

People still complain about Tesla's far superior (imo) UI/software interface, despite its market success. Reviews are not a great indicator of general sentiment or truth.

> This is wrong. CRT is basically repackaged class war

You didn't disagree with me. By repackaging something it opposes it. That's called the narcissism of small differences - CRT is a liberal thing and nobody hates liberals more than leftists.

Anyway, you don't seem to be talking about critical race theory (something taught in graduate schools) but instead critical race theory (a collection of unrelated or made up things Fox News has decided to complain about this year.)
I like the attention-focusing and emphasis on clear, concise, structured argument. I gather the idea is to get the right people together to introduce and critically assess a proposal or recommendation. I am suprised about not reading before the meeting, but reassured that one may read and reflect after.

If I want to roll this out in another organization, how does the rest of it work? - what is the process before and after the doc? What kinds of decisions or issues typically warrant a doc? Is there a process or situation that triggers the development of a doc, like a quarterly planning cycle? How does a doc review translate to someone making a decision - does a decision-focused meeting have a different grammar than a doc-centered meeting? Is there a book that covers the approach?

BMW uses a system with gears that adjusts the steering ratio mechanically, not disconnecting the steeringwheel from the wheels. The "failed" mode of the system just puts it back to the base non-variable ratio. Don't know exactly how it works, but it drives very very intuitively. Only time you notice is if you step in another car and realise parking takes more effort.

Edit: According to Wikipedia they've done so since the 2003 model 5-series already and this has a description on how it's done: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_steering
I think it depends very much on how much engine you need.
A simple renderer (in 2d or 3d) is a fairly low time investment assuming you are a strong C / C++ programmer.

However every thing you add on top of 'draws stuff to the screen' adds at least the same amount of time again. Physics, animation, editor, UI, audio, streaming, packaging, asset import, networking.
Plus each one of those new systems may require new features from the existing ones in order to work (eg animations will need asset import support, shader support, and renderer support).
Agreed (and I'm dealing with an army of Rust zealots right now on proggit). Rust has a track record of carefully considered features and a process that allows it to continue making changes to the language while managing compatibility. I do expect Rust will slow down and bureaucracy will slip in in the next 30 years (because I fully believe Rust will become very popular and many big companies will come to depend on it for security and critical real time systems), but I don't think it will move as slowly as C++ does these days.
"We don't negotiate with terrorists" is more of a slogan than a real policy[1].

True, and it is probably worth it. In my late 30s, I thought I'd never enjoy a game like I used to in my teen years. Well, Factorio was easily as much as if not more enjoyable. I do not know if I'll enjoy a game this much ever again.
C++ is an example of a language whose features were very thoughtfully considered and not bolted on at all when it was as young and untried as Rust is now.
Anecdotally, clubhouse rooms were higher quality before they allowed Android users into the platform. Not saying that there's something inherently wrong with android users, there's just a higher noise to signal ratio now.
Not necessarily? If you have a real-time OS and you write your program well, you can synchronise timings and have cores send messages to each other without queues. It's hard to write fast code that does that, but in narrow circumstances, it's possible (I'm thinking embedded applications) – and when it is possible, it's faster than the equivalent algorithm with indeterminacy.

Indeterminacy slows things down. It's a concession.
That's absolutely amazing. Based on some of the replies in that "war on drugs" thread yesterday, I think that dad might actually be a HNer.

About half did. From the article...

> After an organization experienced a ransomware attack, the top 5 solutions implemented included security awareness training (48%), security operations (SOC) (48%), endpoint protection (44%), data backup and recovery (43%), and email scanning (41%). The least deployed solutions post-attack included web scanning (40%), endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) technologies (38%), antivirus software (38%), mobile and SMS security solutions (36%), and managed security services provider (MSSP) or managed detection and response (MDR) provider (34%). Only 3% of respondents said they did not make any new security investments after a ransomware attack.
A single person can operate in most suburban areas with only a bicycle. I'm not convinced the objections I've heard can be related to media consumption.
This kind of aggressive evangelism is hurting Rusts reputation a lot. I wish people would just stop it. Why do some Rust fanboys have to keep shitting on every other language all the time???????
This is misleading. It sounds like when they say ‘From Show HN to Series A’, the implication is that the Show HN was the beginning of the company. Turns out, it’s the moment where they had 30+ integrations already, a mature company.

I guess HN is well known enough now that even marketers know about it.

Then I can sue them for breach of contract. There are very few and very specific circumstances where they are allowed to do that, pertaining to my own misuse of the domain.

> giving a problematic person like Uncle Bob a platform is a political act

If we are talking only about platforming UB's technical opinions, then it's not a political act. Unless you think that everything done in public should be, a priori, considered to be a political act.

I was born in the same country as Kovarex, about the same time ago, and at the time, we lived in a system where everything happening in public sphere was considered a political act. Even lack of participation - you didn't put up a flag or go to a march at certain state holidays, and people would say, he is suspicious, and "politically unreliable" (which would block things like promotions at your job or if your children could study).

It wasn't a society you would want to live in, I guarantee you that. So please, think twice before you call something like that a political act.
Roughly one-third of US states have various forms of monopoly over liquor sales; sometimes it's just over wholesaling, and in a few states, only state-run stores are allowed to sell beverages over some ABV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage_control_sta...

It was/is a sensible strategic move to frame cannabis legalization as "regulate it like alcohol"; but looking at the bizarre patchwork of regulations for each state regarding alcohol (a historical side effect of the gradual elimination of Prohibition), a lot of that baggage is now getting carried over to cannabis ("from grain to bottle" compliance -> "from seed to sale").

I personally consider states and investors getting a steep cut or artificial monopoly to be a lesser evil than tolerating the grave injustice of the War on Drugs, but as legalization becomes more normalized, it's worth paying attention to these details and policy trade-offs on new state initiatives.

Indeed, playing video games after traumatic experiences has been studied for reducing disturbing flashbacks with promising results [1, 2].

I had a teacher in high school, specializing in ancient latin and greek, who told me about the musculus --> little mice connection. He was also a very strong Austrian -- to demonstrate the reason, he pulled up his shirt sleeve, made a classic bicep curl motion, and rotated his fist rapidly from inside to outside facing. It was pretty shocking to see the 'little mice' running under the 'covers' of the skin of his arm -- since then, I've never had trouble believing this particular hypothesis.
Nope. It's more like basketball with the net on the ground:

English up until recently used male pronouns by default for everything but we have learned recently, thanks to our heroic Gender Studiers, that this actually perpetuates systemic sexist patriarchy. So the solution is to randomly use male or female pronouns, making language unclear and confusing--which helps fight the patriarchy.
