Spot on. But as for 'right now' I have to be a bit more practical and work with what I got.

Mostly these days most machines have a decent amount memory so leaks are not as noticeable, unless you look. If in the early days if I leaked 50MB of memory and my machine had 16MB. I had a real issue and the machine would be borked. If I do the same today you would not notice it.

It is why I stressed watching life cycle of an object. You made this thing, who is cleaning this mess up, and when. 'When' could be anywhere from never 'I need this all the time' to bunch it up when idle/reuse (garbage collection style), or 'right now' I need this memory back right now. There are trade offs and you need to watch for that too. The write it down while you are thinking of it has served me very well over the years. I personally got bit by not following my own rule a few weeks ago. I allocated something and I had not cleaned up correctly. I got 'lucky' and that was actually the right thing to do. But in the code review I rightfully got dinged on it.

One thing I wish many more docs would do is 'this makes object xyz use remove_xyz to clean it up'. Or 'this looks like it is creating an object it is not, this is returning some global'. Right there in the doc. It would help so much.

That temptation of 'eventually' is one that some languages push hard. But I find many leaks that I have chased over the years were just a poor understanding of the calls being used (bad docs, not reading them, or a combo). You may have had a different experience.
You took a quote out of context, then admitted it later.

I wrote SW back then and cannot confirm what he's saying, must be his personal experience. Some good points if you don't take him literally.

Also, what the article doesn't take into account is that the hardware, SW tooling (and its cost) and, most importantly, SW distribution methods have changed radically.

Lack of uninterrupted focus is the only really valid point, in my opinion.
Yeah, I knew Free Beacon was a far-right tabloid but didn't know it was founded by John McCain's 2008 deputy communications director, so it's useful to see it pasted again. Their editor in chief is a former Fox New producer too!

> In July 2019, after the release of version 2.13.0 of the Scala 2 compiler, and with Dotty (Scala 3) already in advanced state of development, the authors concluded that the TypeLevel fork had served its purpose. New contributions are best forwarded to the Lightbend's compiler fork.

>> The way I see it, the TypeLevel compiler was very useful for trying out and refining features that have found their way into the mainline compiler afterwards. (by Martin Odersky

As a Scala user (with not much awareness of the big players in the community), I think the fork worked out nicely. I enjoy the features in Scala 2.13 that were stimulated by the fork. With the impending release of Scala 3 it probably made even more sense to discontinue the fork rather than use it to seed more new features.
This is an unreliable system which police and prosecutors misrepresent as reliable.

I was looking at the usdc, vs tether, vs dai market caps over the last few weeks. Tether seemed to have stopped printing as usdc has continued to grow.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/usd-coin/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/multi-collateral-dai/

Tether is at 60billion market cap compared to Usdc 30 billion and dai around 5 billion. Should probably look at volumes aswell.

I think we would get a major crash if tether fails, but I also think it will recover with usdc and other stable coins that have more legitimacy.

For now, its a house of cards that no one can really afford to remove their stake from. Those who have to use tether, are in a very precarious position.
> Then title it accordingly and don't dress it up in "futures" camouflage -- you're doing your readers/learners a disservice.

In their defense, the title is "Understanding Rust futures by going way too deep", and I think advice and tangents on best practices modules is easily covered by "going way too deep".

> you're doing your readers/learners a disservice.

Not every tutorial needs to be the same, cater to the same type of person, or try to explain things in the same manner. I think the bigger disservice to readers/learners would be to homogenize tutorials into what you think is best. That might work best for a certain type of person at a certain skill level, but that doesn't mean everyone will be served well by that. And as the comments here illustrate, it's not like there's a dearth of Rust futures tutorials and explanations. There's definitely room for a rambling, informal, irreverent, meandering take (it's the only thing that kept me reading until the end, or even past the first page or two).

I kind of like what Nio is doing with batteries in their cars - quickly swap them out and be on your way instead of sitting there for an hour+ charging. It obviously wouldn't work everywhere as it requires a substantial infrastructure compared to a charging station (so economical in dense populated areas). But it's essentially as fast as filling up with regular gasoline. Pull in, battery gets swapped in minutes, pull out. BaaS (Batteries as a Service). It also lowers the price of the car up front since you don't pay for the massive battery, which is the largest cost portion of an electric vehicle.

This has been the consensus within academic econometrics for ~15-20 years, FYI, going back to the Laffer Curve argument. Econometrics != economics; you will still find economics people, especially at think tanks, who will hawk the 'tax cuts solve all problems' theory (typically associated with think tanks funded by wealth people).
Usually some kind of "cheat"; I wrote the registration system for a voice chat application for the Brazil market circa summer 2000.

We sent out maybe 30,000 unsolicited emails to a list we bought and got about 10,000 registrations (amazing response rate!)

We tried another mailing list which was not so good (had some addresses without @'s) and got hardly any registrations despite sending around 250,000 emails.

That 10,000 grew organically to at least 300,000 in the time I was involved.

I own a Tesla, so I'm into electric cars and doing what's necessary to minimize vehicular carbon emissions. That being said, oil is a globally fungible commodity, and the less we use here in industrialized countries, the cheaper it gets for use in developing nations. Historically, developing nations have always chosen to maximize energy consumption by using the cheapest sources available. How is this going to be mitigated? I'm not aware of any discussions on this topic, but hope they exist.
It's interesting that when you follow the link [0] to the Google Enterprise API policy you don't really find anything corresponding to the strong backward compatibility language quoted from Kripa Krishnan.

Yeah, if your company culture depends on being in-person, it's not for me.
I am amazed that we actually need a study to determine this. The whole trickle down economy felt like a farce from the get go. “If we let the rich have just a little more money surely they will give it back to us!”. Well I wonder what the breaking point is. Inequality can only last for so long before people have nothing else to lose.
When I lived in Australia I had to present MC if I too time off on Monday or Friday. So I used to show up to work sick and get sent home because it was cheaper than seeing a doctor for a sniffle.

In Singapore we have the MC requirement but I’ve been with the company 9 years so I just tell my boss when I’m sick. Don’t bother seeing doctor. Unless I’m sick for a few days with no feeling of getting better than I go and take time off work at that point.
A little. The thesis behind 'trickle down' sorta makes sense if you think about it. Less taxes = more money to invest = more investment = more economic activity. I did kind of expect to see SOME impact, though have felt for a while that the financial markets have become so disconnected from actual investment behavior that the impact would be marginal...and looks like this study concludes its even less then that.
Oh, the problem is present in 1.6.2(current stable release) as well as v1.5.4(released March '21 available under old releases). I could not find any other 1.5+ version to try.
To reinforce that the concept that tax cuts for the wealthy creates growth and jobs is patently false. Some are still uninformed, or in disbelief, despite the data and scientific consensus.
The difference between Linux and Windows is that in Linux I have never encountered any problem that I could not solve, in the worst case, when all else failed, by reading many source files of the offending programs, while on Windows I have encountered many cases of unsolvable problems, for which not only I was unable to find a solution (even if I have a lot of professional experience with all Windows versions since 3.0 till present) but also nobody else from IT support.

Just to give a recent example, 3 different IT support people, from 3 different countries, have worked one day each, trying to discover why MS Teams does not work on a certain new Dell laptop, while it works fine if you move the Ethernet cable to the old laptop. After many efforts, nobody has any clue.

Such things cannot happen on Linux.
Oh I see I did misunderstand. Yes, that is unfortunate. I'd guess that since this made it into a stable release, it's likely a pretty tricky bug to encounter, since the failure is so spectacular.

I will say though that bugs appearing in stable releases of any software is a bad, but practically unavoidable thing. It sucks that this bites people, but it's not what I'd really call instability.

Adding to that, it's also worth noting that the battery segment of all-electric EVs has improved considerably over the past 20 years. The charging times per mile of distance will drop further and the range of the vehicles will continue to improve. The Toyota hydrogen arguments often intentionally ignore that the current approach to EV batteries is an improving target, despite that it's already good enough to take over the market as is.
Photos have been a big part of promotions in the US armed forces. There has been pushback in recent years, iirc the marines abandoned photos last year, but you still have to "look the part" and attach headshots to many promotion applications. I've seen people pay actual money ($$$) for professional photographers to get an edge over their peers.

Compare Canada where, beyond not having photos, even gender-based pronouns have been removed from performance reports in order that reviewers not risk gender bias.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking for an example of. But suppose you have a table tbl(foo, bar, baz). Depending on user input, you may want to query on any combination of foo, bar, and baz. With this and larger number of columns, it becomes impractical to have conditions for every combination.

One approach would be to construct a list of conditions as well as a list of parameters to be substituted. Shown below without any particular language syntax, but hopefully comprehensible.

conditions = ("foo=?", "bar>?")
parameters = (fooValue, barValue)

Then when building the SQL, you join the conditions together with AND and substitute in the parameters. This works in the sense that you are still prevented from injection. But it's rather messy. I suppose perhaps you can actually do what I'm discussing with some ORMs in a reasonably clean way. But my point is that most SQL interfaces make it easy to parameterize a single set of fixed values, but hard to do so for table and column names. Arguably this is a feature not a bug since you probably want to avoid such parameterization anyway. But having a safer way to do so would be nice.
Most problems can be solved if you want to put massive amounts of time in it. The issue you state, without realizing you've stated it, is that 'knowledge and experience' is in demand and expensive. So I have the option of investing a few hundred bucks of someone's time into fixing the issue, or running 'sfc /scannow' and surprisingly often fixing the problem.
Pull requests don't mean the code gets integrated. It's just someone sharing a suggestion. Unless that suggestion happens to be on the project's to-do list or it fixes an open bug, I'd say it's unlikely to get merged.

Elasticsearch's top contributors (the three I checked) seem to work for Elastic, which goes to what I'm saying. No profit-making business can have its workflow dictated by the public. Even if a pull request is accepted, the team has to go through all the same code review and testing processes as if the code had originated in-house, and that's not always feasible or on the timeline when the request comes in.
No, because it still isn't legal tender, and lacks credibility as a medium of exchange. The simplest example of this is loyalty programs that offer 'points' that can be redeemed for goods and services. Since the points are useless on their own, the vendor creates agreements with other businesses so that they accept the points.

That's what gives the rewards program credibility. Real currency still changes hands in the background, but the customer only spends 'points'. Currencies, although unbacked by gold, are still credible because they are legal tender and widely accepted in ways that rewards points are not.

Amazon and other private businesses can refuse to accept BTC whenever they want. Earlier this year, Tesla 'accepted BTC for payments', and then changed their mind a month later.
I cannot see how someone can believe America is a meritocracy while at the same time pushing to almost completely remove estate taxes, as was done during the 2018 tax cuts.

The difference, to me, about Pocket is that I use it specifically as a to-read list. My list is just "sites I want to visit/read/watch later", whereas bookmarks are more of "I want to go here regularly". Also, all the bookmark systems I've ever used treat links as files that can only be in one folder, whereas Pocket at least has tags so links can associate with multiple topics.
The breaking point will likely happen in the next decade.

I guess if that is what you mean than I would generally agree with you.

The way I interpreted your post was that you were saying a law should just be changed by the whims of the populace without a proper process in place.
> OP doesn't read like troll OR hyperbole

Really? And how do you figure that? They literally opened with "There won't be any consequences, because the police never face any consequences." The entire planet can name at least one instance of a cop facing consequences for their behavior.

"There's no way to reform modern policing" is a strong assertion without very much to support it.

> That's a high bar and an unreasonable threshold to speaking out.

No, it isn't. _All_ systems are subject to abuse by bad actors. _No_ system is perfect. There are only trade-offs.

If you have no alternative solution it means you haven't considered the trade-offs, and if you haven't considered the trade-offs, you haven't actually spent time thinking about the problem.

It's easy to point fingers at what sucks. Everybody can do it, and everybody is doing it. If you're here on Hacker News, which is supposed to be a place for interesting conversation, I expect that you're going to do better than that.

We, humanity, will always need cars. But we, as individuals, one-per-person, shouldn't. Having a car should be looked at the same way that we look at someone who says they have a horse, a jet, a tank, a yacht, a rocketship. Bemusement at that person's life choices. How ridiculous and ostentatious a life they must lead. Offended by the level of waste from a single person. (Privately, envious of their wealth.)

Like, why don't I have my own personal jet? There's the tiny detail of the cost (O($50mm) new, O($3mm) used, plus fuel and on-going maintenance. Unless you learn to fly yourself, the pilot/crew is an additional, non-trivial, ongoing expense.), but that aside, we don't see it as something remotely normal, and it's a disgusting waste. The necessary cultural shift involves moving all cars, but especially large truck/SUVs, into that same category.

That's the shift that's going to take generations, and only with monumental, concerted effort to rebuild our entire infrastructure along side it before that's even remotely possible. We can't even manage to spend the money to maintain our current infrastructure properly, so it looks impossible from where I'm standing. (But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.)(Electric self-driving cars don't change the calculus here, either.)

I'm still working through the paper, but this is actually an interesting one to me - The common response to this paper will likely fall along the lines of 'Tax cuts bad because it clearly doesn't stimulate growth'.

However, the counterfactual is more interesting here - it suggests that, from a purely macro perspective, that the spending enabled by higher taxes...does nothing for economic growth. (Note: this does not detract from the humane/ethical argument of redistribution, which I leave for others to cover)
are you in one of these contracts?

I dont think hydrogen is the wrong bet, it just the mature evolution of the electric economy. Batteries cant hold enough power per pound/size or charge as fast as hydrogen and we will need hydrogen for those applications that batteries cant handle, like driving across the country or powering trains on our current rail network. Furthermore, electricity cant be piped through our existing gas infrastructure. Hydrogen complements solar and batteries but I think solar and battery will get into consumer hands first. Consumers don't require the high density energy storage that hydrogen/oil allows.
I agree! How can a commoner further support the idea? But, also a step further maybe?
