this really grinds my gears. the states monopoly on violence is a talking point of exteme libertarians and anarchocapitalists and its... real dumb.

giving the state sole legal use of violence is one of the key advancements that unlocked society's forward advancement. just because it exists in authoritarian hellholes doesnt mean it's wrong. i bet people in north korea eat too, I'm not gonna stop doing that.

unless you think that guy who honked at you in traffic should have dueled you to the death. then enjoy your AnCap paradise - somewhere i dont live.

Oh, hey Alex. As soon as I saw your handle, the name "Alex Rattray" popped to mind, and sure enough, that's who you are. I think I probably met you at a hackathon many years ago (maybe PennApps?), though it was probably in passing, since I don't think we ever worked together on a project. Small world though!

I'd been at Amazon for many years and had always wanted to move on to doing my own startup, which is what I'll be doing starting tomorrow. It's an exciting moment for me. My biggest worry about leaving is figuring out what to do about health insurance, but my fallback plan is to go with COBRA until I figure something out.
It's government intervention that caused this situation in the first place.

Are you familiar with DeFi/Dexs. Short of banning and tracking networking and compute at a fairly unheard of scale short of child exploitation, it’s significantly more complex than banning Coinbase. Your suggestion, going back to the HTTP simile, is like saying banning Google bans HTTP, banning Pirate Bay will ban torrenting.
They don't enforce anything, they just spy/record.

Also those aren't laws, they are merely legislative acts.

I had no idea such laws existed. That's pretty crazy. But then, this is a gov't that does not trust its citizens to raise their own children, or even historically to decide how many kids to have.

When I was a kid in America, my parents disallowed videogames in the house. No NES or Genesis for us. On the occasions I'd go over to other kids' houses and play, I had no idea what I was doing. On the one hand, this seemed oppressive. But at least it was coming from my parents, not from the gov't.

What we did have was a Mac II that I had pretty much free reign on, as long as I wasn't playing games. This is how I learned to code - trying to write my own games. In the long run, it made me a pretty bad gamer; I have the gaming equivalent of an eating disorder (I have serious guilt issues with playing anything for more than a couple hours). But it made me a pretty decent hacker.

Obviously, it's disgusting for the gov't to do anything along these lines with facial recognition of minors who should be even more protected from surveillance than the adult public. Extremely Orwellian. But I'm interested what kind of unanticipated side effects it might have as far as kids learning to roll-their-own entertainment.
Yes exactly - when tsc you really want code hints for an object, but tsc can't guess its type, you can do:

/** @type {import('../index').Engine} */
this.engine = engine

Most of my projects have a god object at the center, so if I explicitly type that one object then I get basically all the important code hints for free.

A side benefit of this is that you can also use TypeDoc to generate docs. It's not really made for vanilla JS, but once I got over the initial road bumps I've been happy with the results.

Not tracking, identifying. I have a T-Mobile cell booster and it automatically connects to any compatible phone and will start using cell over WiFi. I could let the authorities know that and they can tell T-Mobile to fork over all the cell data for that booster.
> At least, I didn't see in the "rustbelt" list of papers anything which appeared to indicate that a verified compiler or language subset do in fact exist.

You might want to look harder, because there is certainly a verified language subset (anything that can be written as LambdaRust, which covers a large and substantial swathe of the language).

If you're looking for a formally verified, optimizing compiler for any realistic language, particularly a low level language, you have pretty much one option: CompCert (I'm not sure where this large group of verified compilers you claim exists lives, but I'd love to see them). As someone who would love a verified Rust toolchain, I can't help but notice that very few safety-critical systems actually use CompCert in practice, which makes me a bit suspicious of claims that this is something Rust needs to be competitive in this arena.

Finally, I'll point out that verified compilers like CompCert only promise to translate correct C to correct machine code; they do not necessarily aid you in coming up with correct C in the first place. Miscompilations certainly happen, but not nearly as often as undefined behavior in the source program. So asking why people would use Rust when verified compilers exist for other languages is sort of missing the point.
Your interfaces rarely change in isolation though, right? If they're changing, so are a lot of the places you're interacting with the fields of objects of those types. A "Refactor>Rename Symbol" flow on the interface field would also update all places you used it.

I think it may take a little bit of time for things to "click", but once they do, it's usually much faster/easier/safer to work in TS.

Well I'm very interested to see how this plays out. Knowing what I know about kids it seems like China is making the mistake helicopter parents. Some of the already over achieving kids might respond well to this but frankly as ridiculous as it sounds this is how you end up building generations who resent their government.

There are electric instant hot water systems available. The sink at my office only has a cold water line plumbed to it and a small black box heats the water right there.

This is one such change that is much harder with a monorepo because it introduces many breaking changes. However, in a lot of cases monorepos allow for upgrades and code sharing without much if any effort from individual teams. So a lot of people can get the benefits without doing anything.

Completely agree. Ctrl-f works whether your imports are sorted or not. I'm of the opinion that unless a codebase supports using an auto-formatter (as in, if I run the autoformatter on save to any file I touch, it's guaranteed to only adjust my changes), these kind of rules have no business being part of a the code style rules.
I cannot tell if this is willfully pedantic or not. And well, since we are being pedantic, I guess I will allow myself to say, that you can't re-license per se, only newer versions can be re-licensed. a prior release will forever be that license.

Now, with that said, modifications made to a GPL codebase, when published must be under the GPL. This is where the virality or copyleft come in. This in turn means that a GPL codebase cannot be anything but GPL. Putting BSD licensed code inside a GPL codebase is like pouring fresh water into the ocean. And even if you did do that, it should be a separate codebase, because if its a direct modification, then that should be GPL as well.

You are assuming that the best explanation can be given without interaction.

I would suggest toning this down it’s really painful to read your self flagellation all over Hackernews. Your tone comes across as people in non Amazon FANGs are gods.

I’ve worked at both FB/Apple in the ML space and have been promoted multiple times. I can promise you people aren’t throwing themselves at my feet to bow down to my amazing intellect. I do not sit and laugh with my heaps of cash at the poor peasants who only make 100K a year. My life is not perfect! People in FANG are not perfect, a lot of the tech there is also not special at all.

Stop obsessing over your career I can promise you no one is paying attention to where you work so closely. Get some friends you’ll see how little this matters. I have many CS friends in non FANG jobs and I do not care where they work nor think less of them. They’re some of the smartest and happiest people I know. Do you really judge people who don’t work at FANG like you judge yourself, because that really makes you a rude misguided person.

By the way I went to a state school not even in the top 50. I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world, I had an amazing time. No one cares where you went to school two years after you graduated. And no one definitely cares about your SAT scores how do you even remember that anymore?!? Seek professional help, stop whining so much, and do something else besides freaking out about Amazon.
Agreed that this isn't just a "minor inconvenience" and as a resident alien in another country for a while (the UK), I found KYC regulations to be really quite obnoxious — and I was a pretty good position to handle them, at that.

The question of whether it's worth it is a real one, and more honestly answered (whether positive or negative) if we admit these substantial costs.
Please forgive me, I am not a cosmologist, merely a humble software engineer - but your timespans of 30+ billion and into “trillions” of years seem awfully askew. The age if the entire universe is estimated at “only” 13.77 billion years old, so how is this possible? Are we simply in an extremely young universe?
I'd be fine if the government would use their "monopoly on violence" to ensure companies don't step so far out of line. That's basically one of the central reasons governments exist.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here. There's no good way to express how I feel when I'm watching a show or at the end of the show. There's no "Holy shit, this is amazing" vs "This is decent" etc - where sentiment is clearly attached to the rating. A 5 star or 3 star rating scale alone isn't quite good enough..

Compared to other countries, Australia is an outlier for tradesmen income, by far. The closest comparison I can think of is software engineer income in the US vs everywhere else.
Not only that but it can be hard to even get legal access to. I know someone who was shot and the cops weren't able to get access to the location data needed to catch the other guy.
> I would think the issue is we have to start with what are we solving for exactly?

In order to avoid a civilization collapse we need to maximize net-product, the material surplus which society produces after deducting the cost of maintaining the workers and the material capital or tools which they are using to generate that surplus. This was the big idea of the enlightenment era and was analyzed by the physiocratic school of economics with regards to food production.

Then in order to maintain political stability we need to maximize the share of the social surplus paid to labor and maximize potential wages, which in the long-run according to ricardian economics is equal to the net-product which can be generated on the worst land in use or best land left in common.

In order to raise the margin of cultivation as high as possible we need to minimize land speculation. This is accomplished by replacing any regressive taxes which suppress the net-product at the margin of cultivation with the georgist land value tax.

> Max GDP for the country in question?

No, gross product is not net product. Each political jurisdiction needs to maximize local net product at margin of cultivation.

> Max GDP contribution to global GDP ... Max global GDP?

No, we need to focus on net product.

> I don't think we can even answer that so it is doomed from the start if we are trying to be objective.

Several schools of economics have already answered this, those schools of economics are just no longer taught.

> If we start over we should just explicitly admit this field is a type of theater

No, if energy return on energy invested of a political system falls below zero and becomes negative for majority you can get a civilization collapse.

Good point. We can accomplish a lot in aggregate if we act together. Building codes and other regulations should be paired with financial incentives from government to accomplish energy goals like these and other climate goals. Markets are bad at solving this problem and we need to take some of the incredible wealth generated by those markets and in those markets to improve society.

Hmmm. I took a real analysis class at UNC Charlotte and one at Oxford and the latter one transformed my understand of maths. I felt if I ever taught a “maths for humanities” class Lebesgue integration and measure theory would be key components. I think if they are taught well by a person that really understands it backwards and forwards, well enough to explain it like a physicist, it is accessible.
This sounds like the future for high crime areas. Online ordering or vending style storefronts where you pick on a screen or with your phone and it drops a bag out the front with your items.
I think this should be pretty straight forward as there are generic algorithms to encrypt the password, not sure the case with bubble though.

Since startups are willing to stick with the code for the longer duration, so sometime they have fear that what if the platform is not able to handle/provide what they are expecting and hence (a lot of times) decide to keep things in their control from the beginning by coding it themselves or use some open source framework, so that they can have better control going forward (what i think). Hence code can pay a major role in building the confidence.
Not sure what could be the other challenges hence gathering feedback.

The biggest reason to use an auto formatter is take all those nits off the table for gripes during code review. I think the consistency claim is overrated. Seeing ){ vs ) { doesn't help me read a codebase better, not does see un-alphabetized imports. The biggest culprit of whitespace only changes is somebody running an auto-formatter on a file where that isn't enforced by CI.

Actually we don't provision separate VM for each app, and they run in a shared environment with other Apps, so if the access is given to execute their code and if the code is consuming good CPU/RAM, then it can bring-down/affect other apps as well. Hence not seeing the option for them to execute their code.

But yes, if they want to write their code, they can always use AWS Lambda or similar services to execute their code and make an API call to pull/push the data from there and use them in the app by connecting it to that code via APIs.
