China and Russia may not get along with each other or the West, but both have expended extensive effort building influence against the West and each other, and have their own extensive network of relationships to leverage.

The West’s advantage is productivity.

I would say concurrency is more of a way of organizing code into independent parts.

If you have multiple contexts, logically separable, and they can execute independently you end up with some form of concurrent design.

The reason people often think of coroutines (like generators resuming) vs routines (functions) as concurrent vs not concurrent has everything to do with contexts that can be thought of as executing in a non-deterministic order. Certainly there might be external dependencies that "force" an ordering to execution, but at the end of the day, it's the independence of an operation/computation that makes it concurrent with another.

Concurrency can give rise to opportunities for things to execute in parallel, but it does not require them. Parallelism is therefore a condition of execution/evaluation.

On a uniprocessor unix kernel, processes execute concurrently. On a multiproccessor unix kernel, you hope for parallel execution of processes (though they may be totally unrelated in context or goal), but you always maintain the concurrency. The scheduler pauses and switches contexts.

The ability to switch contexts seems fairly equivalent to concurrency. And I don't think much else is needed.

I'm not sure that's 100% correct, but it's how I like to think of this situation.

Maybe you can tell me which definition of life you go by that's "lenient".

What I see is bunch of arbitrary capabilities, that we decided sum up to being life.

"the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death."

Technically if we decide to INTERPET this leniently, then phenomena like crystals and fire would qualify as life. So would viruses.

Yet, it also says "the condition that distinguishes from inorganic matter", and those are not "organic matter".

And what is organic matter? Well... that happens to be defined as carbon-based DNA/RNA coded proteins. That's QUITE specific to earthlings.

You can buy the touchpad seperately. Which makes sense, because you don’t know where it’s ergonomically correct to put it for individual users.

It is, but being an indie game dev is a lot like founding a tech startup. It's extremely risky if you don't already have industry experience to understand how producing games works, and you get industry experience from well established studios.
I think 8.8.8.8 is hard coded somewhere in those devices. I can’t remember exactly how it worked, but it’ll ignore the dhcp assigned dns sometimes.

With DoH it’ll be impossible to block and I think there’s a good chance they’ll flat out ignore local dns at that point.
Honestly this sounds like a dystopian nightmare. It sounds like you're saying we all need to go back to everyone being a Good Christian who knows Their Place In Society and that will solve everything. Yikes! Maybe I'm reading too much into it, or do you actually want a Handmaid's Tale future?

Lots of things. Lisp. Haskell. Functional programming. Apple computers. Anything described as The One Right Way.

But in none of these cases am I the only person. Far from it. I'm one of a quiet majority facing a minority of loud zealots.

Note well: Lisp and Haskell are reasonable languages in which one can be quite productive. My issue isn't with the languages per se; it's with the zealots. (I would probably feel the same about Rust, but I haven't bumped heads with as many Rust zealots.)

What should people know? X is useful. X also has flaws. There are other ways to go about it that are also useful, and also have (perhaps different) flaws.
They have a financial incentive to hold the web back, because it threatens their AppStore monopoly. You can't blame a company trying to extract more profit in a lawful way. If you think that Apple must improve web support, build awesome web apps which will not work in Safari, that's the only thing that makes them worry IMO.
An activity being in their interests is not a good enough reason to be allowed to do it. Is there anything you would prohibit them from doing, even though it might benefit them?
Y Combinator | Software Engineer | Anywhere in US | Full-time

As YC has gone remote in the last year, our small-but-mighty software team has been busy building the OS that runs all of YC.

In the last six months alone, we've rewritten our entire Demo Day experience (to connect founders with potential investors), re-created the batch experience with both in-house tools and 3rd party integrations, and written software to help founders connect with one another for advice, intros, deals, networking and so much more.

We have a ton more to deliver, so we're looking to hire a product engineer to join our team. This is a great role for somebody who loves helping startups, is eager to talk with YC founders (our customers!), and wants to own projects from start-to-finish.

We work primarily in Ruby on Rails and React (learning on the job is fine though), and we spend most of our time coding. That said, we encourage everyone to participate in all of YC -- read applications, join our batch talks, help out with Demo Day and speak up on the projects you'd want to work on. (And if you’re looking for input, there are always group partners around).

The software team you'd be joining has seven people with lots of collective years of start-up and big company experience, so you'll get the best of both worlds: moving fast and shipping and strong teammates/mentors to help you learn. About half of us are alums and several of us are parents. We're open to people 2+ years out of school or even 10+ years of experience. Lastly, the work-life balance is great, and you get to work with people across the company.

> Yet <づ> and <ず> are phonetically indistinct but entered differently; the input scheme is really not based upon phonetics but on structure.

Not sure what what your point is here. ず＆づ may or may not be phonetically indistinct based on region.

> I think you might confuse the words “phonetic” and “phonemic” here.

I mean phonetic more in the layman sense e.g. relates to the sounds, not the most technical linguistic definition. To be blunt, the linguistic definition is silly anyways since literally no natural language will ever strictly meet it.

> It really is neither phonetic nor phonemic.

I guess my original point was that just because you can type certain kana in different ways that may not be strictly phonetic they make sense as simplifications based on the structures you mention, and they make typing easier.

This does not mean you cannot type using inputs that correspond to more strictly phonetic romanizations e.g. hepburn.

> Like I said in a comment further down below, I think my initial reaction and post were way too harsh (i.e., not constructive and cynical), sorry for that. It's great that you're taking the initiative and trying to build something, and I wish you all the best with it.

Thank you for being understanding, I appreciate it.

> To be more constructive: I personally feel that such efforts have an easier way of getting of the ground if you first build consensus with a smaller group in private. Ideally this would include some of the influential people in this sphere, (devs of larger projects in the space, cloud providers, famous rustaceans, ...). Otherwise the initiative does not have a lot of credibility (because it hinges on the words of someone most people will not have heard of).

In hindsight, having the folks I've spoken to in private be part of the "launch" and PR reviews could have prevented some confusion.
That being said, I did not want to compose a large core group without giving the opportunity for new people to join.
It was a trade-off to launch small with the intent to start public partnerships with well-known people in the future.
I've spoken to some of these folks in the past, and we intend on collaborating/cooperating if the community's desires warrant it (e.g. a new channel in the official Discord).

> 1) It gives the impression that this is an already established organization, when in fact it is merely a call to action.

I would argue that it's an established organization, but we need to be clear that one of its first goals is to gather community feedback on determining where it should go next.

It's established with the intent to be...

> 2) You never actually say what you are trying to do. Even after all of this, I'm still not sure what you want to create. A community? A main code repository? A specific technical solution? You say you want to "enable the usage of Rust in the cloud". But that's super vague. I can use Rust in the cloud today already, so what are you _really_ after? And _how_ are you going to achieve that?

This is a good point.
I've touched on this above, but it exists to facilitate community ideation and to maintain a website to connect people interested in cloud native Rust.

I believe the issue here is that I've mistakenly blended the mission with the goal(s).
The mission tackles the "why", which is the enablement piece.
That doesn't lean into the "real action".
The goal(s) are what we are trying to do.
Currently, that includes maintaining the existing repos, and gathering community feedback via issue/discussion filing.
There's an issue tracking splitting the "mission" from the "goal(s)", and I think it'll make the answer to this much more clear: https://github.com/rust-cloud-native/core/issues/7

I also don't think there is any legal way a company can confiscate anything from their own employee. They could call a Police maybe if they thought he is distributing something dangerous or damaging, but that's about it.

Careful here. You list a ton of things with the implication that they are all independent. But, "style" can pretty much explain major shifts in all of the other items.

And the dominant culture is what drives a ton of... Well, everything.

To pretend that progress only comes from the marginalized crowd is as silly as claiming it only comes from the kids. Probably less accurate, even.
I don't know Lisp or Haskell. But for what it's worth, I totally understand not worshipping functional programming, or apple computers. Both of which I use and appreciate, but neither of which are anywhere near perfect.

I really struggled with this a few years back. I was adamant that I didn't want to "play the salary matching game." My boss insisted they didn't have the budget for a raise. I didn't want to job hunt, then bring my new offer to my boss, etc. I let myself be underpaid for at least 3 years because I was sure that my results should speak for themselves. Then I got really bitter and fed up. I got a job offer that was a 50% raise. I took it to my boss and immediately our company magically had a 50% raise in the budget. I quit in the middle of that interview because I couldn't stomach the idea that he'd been intentionally underpaying me all that time.

It changed my outlook on companies and playing the salary matching game completely. While I'm still in demand, I'm always looking for a better offer. I am planning on this bursting sometime. In the meantime, I'm going to get paid.

Without anyone having more than 2 to 3 years of experience the level of insight into the product would be quite shallow. Not to mention people that only stay for 2 to 3 years at a job never get to experience the long term implications of their code and decisions.

If you’re okay with every request having the latency all the way to your origin, you can have the CDN revalidate its cache on every request. Your origin can just check date_updated (or similar) on the blog post to know if the cache is still valid without needing to do any work to look up and render the whole post.

To further reduce load and latency to your origin, you can use stale-while-revalidate to allow the CDN to serve stale cache entries for some specified amount of time before requiring a trip to your origin to revalidate.
Apple iPhone charger teardown: quality in a tiny expensive package (2012)
> The thing you are firing in the oven (limestone) releases CO2.

I'm aware of that. There are two main sources of CO2 in cement manufacture: the calcium carbonate raw material, and the fossil fuel required to cook the raw materials into clinker. Heimdal only deals with one. The questions I'm interested in are which source contributes more CO2 and which can be most economically eliminated.

> We need zero CO2.

Agree, but Heimdal won't get us there. We'll either have to find a replacement for cement, or devise a practical method to convert CO2 waste to something benign, like an improved Bosch process.

In urban tech centers, wages increased sharply over the last 10 years. Both due to base wage increase and tech stock appreciation.

Once you are within a company you will be given catch-up raises but in a fast moving market you will always be able to create a bidding war for your talent and increase your pay beyond what the employer will offer you.

You have 3 options.

1. Climb the ranks. Technical or managerial. This takes time and is rewarded generously at most tech companies.

2. Get lucky with insane stock appreciation. Stay four years. Leave when your income drops in year 5.

3. Leave every couple years for significantly more money, by combination of up-leveling and getting the now higher market rate.

Number 3 is the easiest path.
That sounds like the problem of explaining how magnetism works. Engineers and scientists understand very well how airfoils generate lift. It is not some kind of mystery like the article implies.

It is true that most of the popular simplified explanations are incorrect. Flat plate airfoils generate lift if they have positive angles of attack. Airplanes can fly upside down. At fractional mach numbers, pressure above and below the wings is essentially equal.

If you are not flying near the speed of light, Newton's laws apply. So, if you want simple explanation, the wing deflects air downwards and that pushes the airplane up. If you put your hand outside the car window at an angle, you will feel a force. Should be simple enough for 2nd graders.
Simple is doing a lot of legwork in this sentence I think.
