No, this is an echo chamber thing. The commercial software industry has largely not even heard of Rust. (Arguably they should!)

The number of jobs available to purely write Rust code in the world is still very very small.
I would definitely go with Budibase.

You could build a responsive CRUD app in a few minutes.

They also support a number of data sources (PG, MySql, Mongo, Couch) and have their own DB.

Also, they're open source:

I like the fact that the French didn't like American presence on their sole and had offensive feelings towards that, while at the same time, they were forcefully present all over Africa with totalitarian and oppressive military administrations.

In Algeria, many fought in WW2 as part of the French Expeditionary Corps (e.g; my great-grandfather) with the hope that in case the allies win, Algerians could possibly negotiate some sort of self-governance. on the 8th of May 45, thousands of Algerians protested for independence. The civilians faced an immediate annihilation by the French military [1], resulting in up to 30,000 dead civilians. And who can believe this happened in the aftermath of ending NAZI Germany?!!!! I mean that's very ironic but well ...

"which would've offered great resistance in heavily fortified mountain forts"

Hopefully we would've offered great resistance, but the belt of fortifications was far from complete and we had Hungary and Poland ready to jump on our throats as well. There is no way that a noodle-shaped country like Czechoslovakia of 1938 was can survive attack from all sides simultaneously, with one of the attackers on very high military level.

From the Allies' point of view, the fact that Hitler gained access to Czech heavy industry was probably worse than anything else. Subjugated Czech factories played a huge role in arming Germany for the coming war.
I wonder to what extent you've had to maintain stable branches then.

Still, if people are going to enforce something as meaningless as formatting, why not at least get it right? Otherwise it's unarguably just about stroking the obsessive compulsive tendencies of the team members who are more that way inclined.

I think the title overstates it, even per it's own arguments in the article itself whose criticism is more narrow in scope. (Though criticisms on high prices do apply across the board)

What it really takes issue with are programs that amount to a professional certificate, essentially a sort of trade school for a particular industry or role within that industry.

I don't think the same criticism of quality applies to more traditional academically-oriented programs. For example an undergrad Biology major is essentially getting a wide survey of the field. At the master's level it goes into a lot more depth and you usually have some fairly specific area of focus. In short, you're acquiring a base of knowledge rather than focussing mostly on the application of that knowledge. Far different than, say, a 9-month Master's degree in cloud infrastructure that may be obsolete before you pay off the loan.
I like to think there is no difference between what is labeled as misinformation and any commercial or advertising we all have been consuming since we could open our eyes.

The marketing industry regularly contributes to peoples decline in health on a regular basis among other things.

ex: All the sugar water or cigarettes we have been ingesting across generations because we have seen some commercial that told a good story, promised a certain association or feeling with the product in question. Let's face it, misinformation is what drives our economy.

Education on marketing tactics coming to a neighborhood high school near you soon.

Marketing is the drug and it's tactics are suddenly running out of control so now we want to jump on our pedestal and cry "bring on the reigns". What hypocrisy!
I think this really depends on your undergrad, the value of masters degree seems to diminish with the following factors:

- A well taught undergrad degree in CS (Masters fill gaps caused by bad classes or different fields)

- Graduated with undergrad degree recently (getting a Masters degree after being out of school for 10 years can be a good refresher and update on how the field has evolved/changed)

- Masters degree classes in an area of CS you are familiar with (Masters degree is a great opportunity to take classes in areas that you care about but don't know well, if you are a great Rails webdev with 7 years experience, then taking a Masters degree class in Rail WebDev is just wasting your time.)
Nothing to do with philosophy but with existence of fixed points. Are you familiar with the mathematical notion of a fixed point (think y-combinator) and fixed point theorems ?

The gist of it is that if there is a continuous mapping from a set to itself with the property that the mapped points are closer than the original points there must exist a point that maps to itself.

Now if the pain location mapping is smooth and a contraction (not implausible because number of cells in the brain is smaller than the number of cells in the entire body), there would be a neuron in the brain that would have been self aware in the sense that its pain mapping would have mapped to itself.

Note it is possible to avoid having a fixed point for a mapping from a set itself (consider a permutation of numbers 1..n so that no number is in its own place).

It is just an intriguing notion -- is a fixed point, self aware neuron possible

The First Amendment is perhaps the most powerful manifestation of the philosophy of free speech in our world today. As a result, we have a habit of conflating the two. But a culture of free speech can wither while the First Amendment remains strong (and vice versa).
> But for Rust, looking for language experience might be the right choice since the learning curve is relatively steep and takes time. Unless, of course, the company is okay giving 2 months to just learn.

Yea, this is our opinion. Our options are limited due to the smaller talent pool, so the time it takes for devs to "spin up" is something we consider. We can't hire a full team of devs who take 2 months to spin up. We can, maybe, do 5 young devs and 5 seasoned devs.

I've personally found that devs who have experience with C++ are almost a direct shoe-in. They know all the concepts and the transition seems easy, especially since they're already interested in Rust. Having hired a few dynamic language folks though, they have a higher barrier to entry with Rust. A lot more concepts to learn.
There will always be a popular language, if your goal is to get eyes on your stuff and get on the front page of HN, sure, write it in rust. If it were two years ago, I'd say write it in Go. If it were 5 years before that, I'd say NodeJS.
It's amazing the way the political left has savegely gone against greenwald. We need more journalists like him not less. He has all the proper credentials (gay, liberal), he just happens to speak the truth so, apparently, fuck him. If we had more greenwalds the world would be a much better place

I use Anki. It's poorly-designed, but it's the best thing that I've used so far. I'd love to have an upgrade, but you have to convince me that your tool is actually materially better than Anki, and doesn't just "look beautiful". Using language like "modern" is a turn-off - it evokes feelings of Electron implementations, webtech, slow interfaces, and web design that wastes tons of visual space to be "minimal".

I see that you wrote a page that ostensibly compares it to Anki[1], but it doesn't tell me anything. You say that it's easy to use, but does it also support all of the features that Anki has? You say that "you won't have to worry about settings or addons", but settings are there for a reason (because people have different needs), and does your tool subsume all of the functionality of all of the Anki addons that people made? You say that "we release new features every week", but where's the list of features that have been recently added, and how does the feature-set compare with Anki?

I want a better tool than Anki, but you have to show me that it's actually better. Otherwise, you're not going to win over either the Anki users or the Quizlet users.

For all we know he is learning public domain material that is freely available to anyone.

In the first movie we see very little of how real world society works but in the sequels other than the threat of the Machines things don't look particularly dystopian. In reality we'd probably end up with something much more oppressive under those circumstances.
I'll take a contrarian view. C++ which Rust proponents usually target for replacement, is an extremely well tested language. In any real commercial application where a system programming language is needed, C++ would usually be a better choice if you know the language. If don't know C++, learn Rust, it's probably easier, and you'll make progress faster. But Modern C++ is extraordinarily powerful -- it may be worth learning to build some high performance systems like games and browsers.
It's a BS club to keep naive but good workers underpaid and to reward shrewder people. There's no excuse, other than to prevent people from de facto "unionizing" their pay.

...the countries that repress their own citizens and don't have a free press? You go to China and point out abuses. See how it goes. Or Russia - just don't stand by any windows.

Sounds more like an excuse. It would make some sense if it was financial problems, but even then it crossing the line of free speech.
What I mean is that hiring for particular languages is a massive red flag to me in job listings.

I don't mean saying something like "our tech stack is in Rust." More like "3-5 years experience in Rust" under the job requirements.

It's not hard to learn a new language or train it in good engineers. If you're limiting your candidate pool based on particular language experience you are severely limiting the growth potential of the business. That's just been my experience.

And if your reasoning is something like, "Rust is hard and it's going to take N weeks to onboard a dev to contribute and we can't afford that" then it's an even bigger red flag about the engineering capacity of the business and state of development.
No, presumably I mean 95% of the hashrate which is the only thing that is measurable on-chain.

The problem is that "government involvement" in the US is synonymous with "throw money at the problem." It's a easy way to get results in the short term, so which gets you political approval, but in the long term, it just creates a money black hole.
>I will await the discussion from mainstream virologists on tv and in medical and scientific journals demanding transparency and reform.

That exists. It's exactly what people mis-read as scientists supporting the lab leak hypothesis. Instead they support a more open attitude by China regarding investigations, which is neither evidence nor proof of either an artificial origin for the virus, nor for the lab leak theory.
People can figure out the truth, and if they can't, we have bigger problems. I'd like to live in a world of common sense vs "elite" judgements

The initial assumption was "no" due to the moon's gravity field having strong local variations that usually destabilize orbits and cause orbiting objects to crash into the moon.

However, simulations based on original data and hundreds of variations to account for uncertainty show that there is a high likelihood that the orbit remained stable for at least 10 years (not sure if they actually simulated until today).

There are many other things that can influence an orbit and simulations aren't perfect, so it's a "maybe".
That's the "single entry, single exit" guideline. See https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1187... and places it links to (like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36707/should-a-function-... ).

I wonder whether a really good experience can be built by abstracting out recommendations to this degree. I think in the context of an actual product, there would be other considerations specific to the particular domain, which is partly why organizations often eventually grow up teams around recommendations or discovery.

For example:

- Perhaps there are relationships or similarities among items which are known prior to any feedback (e.g. different options of the "same" product are represented as distinct items in your catalog). Recommending to the user many closely related items may be a poor experience in some contexts.

- Perhaps you have other relevant actions, and care about more than maximizing the probability of a click. E.g. purchases, shares, etc. In an ecommerce context, you may want to recommend items at a range of price points; showing only very expensive items may get you clicks but not purchases.

- This has a concept of whether an item was "read" (which I interpret as an impression, or an opportunity to be clicked). But not all impressions are equal. Perhaps you have other knowledge about the context in which something was displayed. Was it "read" in the context of a search? Was it 8th in a list of 10 items?
You say that like it's a unique thing to software engineers.

In the cases you're probably thinking that should include, the marketers, sales people, operations staff, recruiters, and basically anyone else who keeps the business running.

You either think software engineers are so powerful as to effect the direction of these large businesses, in which case, you're wrong.

Or that somehow people earning a better living for themselves given the current climate which is almost uniformly stacked against the standard worker is wrong.

I think you should step back and look at the actual causes like their boards, investors and senior management as well as the government.

To note I say this with a clear conscience since I've never worked at any of the Big Co's at this point in time by choice.
You should hire people who know a statically typed language and prepared to learn Rust.

I learned Rust (and C++!) at my current job, with Java being the only statically typed language i knew before that.

Unless you have reason to believe that a significant fraction of otherwise smart and capable static-language programmers will just never be able to learn Rust. I have no idea if that is true or not, and it would be interesting if it was.
Just wondering, as someone currently preparing for SAT - why is it so easy to drastically improve one's performance on standardized tests if they predict IQ? My score was pretty mediocre (due to a year of slacking off during COVID) but after some practice I improved it significantly - does that mean my IQ is greatly increasing as well?

I found Anki to be easy to pick up for my simple use-case, and the interface isn't any worse than most other tools out there.

Yes, features aren't the only reason why people use a product, but some people (me, and many others here) do mainly use a product for its features. The lack of a comparison is somewhat of an oversight.

For that matter, there's no UI comparison either - no video showing a side-by-side diff between Zorbi and other tools (Anki, Mnemosyne, Quizlet, etc) - which, all in all, makes it a hard sell for most people who are already using an SRS, and I'm pretty sure that Quizlet has much more momentum and can acquire new-to-SRS users faster than Zorbi can.
I suspect it’s much more mundane: If you want to know how much money your adversary is spending on $PROGRAM, you can get part of this with some salary info and head count.

While I loathe the seniority system that Union folks use, at the very least their pay is all out in the open and everyone knows what everyone makes and it still works. The biggest issue is just overcoming the cultural hurdle of acknowledging that your pay is not your identity, it's just a number that you can negotiate and if you're undervalued, instead of pissing and moaning to other employees, you go find a new job that pays what you're worth.
