I'm surprised to see a lot of people here skipping over why Zulip needs to write this article.

Building a chat app brings you pretty quickly into the digital identity and presence space. Regardless of getting involved with NFTs and ICOs and such, a wallet is a pretty adjacent concept to this domain. There's a reason a ton of chat apps currently offer some form of payments or payments integration. Venmo shows how hard it is to build "social" from payments, while the other direction is much easier to do because of network effects.

OK, Boomer…

Obviously, the Beatles were an enormous global phenomenon for baby boomers and for GenXers like myself. But if you were to poll my children and their classmates how many Beatles songs they could name, you might end up in the single digits.

> Both Rust and C++ ought to be relegated to high performance cores of larger, "squishier" programs

So, people from Google have explained about this before. The idea you have assumes that if you speed profile the code, 99% of samples land in this function "A()" and so you just re-write that part in C++ and now it's faster, or if you measure allocations you find 99% of RAM was allocated by "B()" and so you just re-write that part in C++ and now it uses less RAM.

Google already did all that low-hanging fruit. When they run the profile it comes back flat. You should rewrite A, B, D, E, F, J, K, L, M, N ... in other words the way to make the system faster is to just write it in C++

Part of this is also scale. If a system I run once week is a little slow, maybe in some sense that costs 40¢ but I don't account for it. At a mid-size non-IT firm maybe a similar performance cost is $1000 per year. Just about worth somebody enquiring if it can be sped up, but not worth arguing about it if the answer is "No". Maybe a mid-size IT firm where you work spends $1k per month on this problem. You could speed it up by rewriting the whole system, this would take some time - how many days work before it's cheaper to leave the problem than pay you to fix it? However, at Google's scale maybe that problem costs them $1M per week. They can justify assigning a whole team to fix that because of scale.
Without context I think the part after unless is sort of sarcastic or ironic.

There was no reform after COINTELPRO.

The FBI has known about nearly every mass shooter for the past 20 years, they've leaked numerous investigations and raids to the press for political reasons, they sit on evidence for political reasons, they target domestic journalists for political reasons, they lied to FISA courts for political reasons, and they've been sitting on exculpatory evidence for political reasons, they've been sicced on parents at school boards for political reasons.

This is a dupe, the Spamhaus tweet is mentioned there, and this submission is just speculation/inaccurate gossip around it - there's no new information here.
I recognize your two categories of bad math books and would like to add a third: commercial textbook publishers "padding" the pages with filler. It seems every book made for first-year undergraduate students is 10x thicker than it needs to be: there are these huge color images and lots of repetition, which makes students just tired and not want to read the book.

It's completely artificial padding and unnecessary: you can teach calculus in 100 pages, you don't need 1000 pages (cf. Silvanus Thompson book on calculus or my books). I think the padding is done to make the exorbitant price tags seem more reasonable, so this is why I'm optimistic about this book since it's coming from the Eastern Block (no padding).
The reality is that antivax lawmakers are by and large radical populists from the extreme ends of political spectrum, exploiting the weaknesses of the uneducated (and typically most vulnerable) portion of the electorate.

Most of them are also political opportunists, knowingly lying and manipulating the weakest in our societies.

Their political work mostly boils down to amplifying harmful misinformation and giving it legitimacy and credibility through their office — all for their selfish political ends.

That being said, they are democratically elected representatives, and banning them from the democratic process rightfully raises questions about legitimacy of such measures, regardless of morality of their political ways.

But in addressing those questions, we have to consider consequences of their political action, which are accounted in tens or even hundreds of human lives lost EACH DAY.

What do we value more? Human lives, or the right of immoral political actors to exploit the drawbacks and imperfections of our fragile democratic processes?

Sorry to spoil your axe-grinding with hard data, but the Rust async ecosystem has exploded since 2019. It is now about 5-6 times larger than it was before async/await landing:

Thank you for confirmin that "Free and Open Source" does not value stability or quality.

I'd rather pay for a closed program that comes with guarantees of stability and quality than participate in a community that considers these concerns tertiarty or off the menu entirely.
Looking for precedents is always good advice, but the essential issue is that even if you don't re-invent the wheel, the "wheel" that works in functional programming territory, for certain tasks (e.g. the binary tree with parent pointers), is more complicated, more verbose, and comes with downsides.

People ignore existing work (at least at first), and assume they can make it simpler themselves, because they're surprised it _needs_ to be sophisticated.

EDIT: That said, the article does a great job of explaining the problems and the potential solutions.

> They don't suggest even implicitly that their readers should avoid Substack

Which part of "Substack Is Now a Playground for the Deplatformed" did you miss?

> They seem to be contrasting the models of NYT and Substack, not comparing them

NYT has also become very polarizing since going subscriber-only, this was another point curiously missing.

> so, that was only a single counter-example, not presented as evidence that Substack's model is bad

If not, then what would even be the point bringing it up? The whole argument is that substack's model is inherently polarizing thus bad. That argument does not hold up to scrutiny btw: there are in fact many small, polarized, ad-supported media, what you don't see is mainstream ones, because due to their nature and massive size the mainstream ones have to cater to the average. Substack could equally be the same if they were as big as mainstream news, and no evidence is presented to the contrary.

> verybody I know who likes Greenwald

They believe he was fired/displaced. Deplatformed means banished (evidently, he has a platform), and he could probably easily grow an audience anywhere

I think your own reading of this hastily written hit piece is ... very charitable. That said, i hope substack fails. There shouldn't be a need for such intermediaries between writers and their audience. I hope substack proves to have been a temporary solution to a temporary problem.
I know how cryptocurrencies work.

The restrictions on crypto are coming from regulators, not the banks, and the reason regulators aren't happy is due to the volume of criminal transactions, tax avoidance and scams enabled by crypto.

The reason the banks don't care is because at both ends of most crypto transactions you will find, er, a bank account. Crypto is only useful to the extent that it has real currency value, those Nigerian scammers and many others using crypto for transfers are just using cyrpto as an intermediate step to avoid pesky laws. That's fine as far as the banks are concerned because that's more money flowing into their systems.
Fascinating, why are taxi prices so low in HK? Competition? I knew that public transit there is one of the best.

Try variable substitution.

If the modern right believed that the left wanted to take all their guns and destroy their way of life, and attempted to secede based on that, it doesn't matter that most on the left don't care at all about limiting gun rights, the war that results will still be about guns, because that is the simple answer. Republicanism (relating to republics, not asses and elephants), libertarian ideals, subordination of government to the people all CANNOT be discussed as motives, because the simple, loud and ideologically clear position of individual vs collective capacity for violence is too big and drowns out the nuance.

Similarly, the actual US Civil War cannot be reasonably discussed, because consideration of any other socioeconomic and historical factors in addition to that of slavery is seen as ignoring or attempting to whitewash the institution of chattel slavery. The rural/urban industrial/agricultural divide is still a big issue in the modern context, and we still avoid actually discussing it, instead focusing on the implications of such a divide: illegal immigration, migrant worker exploitation, human trafficking, etc.

The shifting of the Overton Window feeds back into our perceptions, and reinforces a black/white, everything has an answer worldview.
Well, thank you
Another interesting variant is a cross between 1 and 2- centralize ownership of the nodes, but continue to use references rather than handles.

You can't do this with a Vec<Node> (unless you can create all the nodes up front before initializing them) because resizing the Vec would invalidate references into it.

But if you use a different "allocator" that leaves its contents in-place, you can make all the links into references with a single lifetime.

The remaining tricky part is, still, deallocation- you can't fully free a node in a structure like this because they all share a lifetime. But you can put it on a free list for future node allocations, with similar risks to the handle approach.
Exactly. It was really the combination of two or three talented people feeding off each others' creativity. John/Paul each 'only' had to write 3-5 songs per album, with George filling in some extras. I'm not saying it's easy to write 3-5 good songs, but they had a knack already. One person trying to write 12-14 good songs per album is facing an impossibility - and we can see that with their solo albums. Most of them have a handful of good/great songs, and then... relative filler.

Each Beatle album getting the 'best' of a group of talented writers was the magic sauce, imo.

But even then, the pace was still... insane. Tour in the 1965 summer time, come back to UK, start writing an album in October, work for a month, and put out Rubber Soul, nearly all of which was written and recorded in that single month. That is possibly the most creative/productive single month in their career.
I think the bigger issues is that people like the legal system is inherently expensive, when often it isn’t. Although it frequently time consuming.

> It would have been too expensive, he guesses.

This attitude really bothers me. Why didn’t he find out how much it cost? It probably costs nothing to writing your own opposition and send it back to the trademark office. You’re only trying to convince an administrator, not a judge, and worst that can happen is you fail. But all you’ve lost is some time.

Most government processes are designed so it’s possible for a lay person to figure it out. The real trick lawyers have managed, is convincing us all that you can’t engage with government or the justice system without an overpaid lawyer.
Yup. I think it is something where you need a few people to create the grand, complex software of the world, but everyone being able to do simple things for themselves would really empower people to do so much more. I hope we get there in my lifetime.

Bankrupt governments also control what money you can receive.

Example is Lebanon where if you send someone US Dollars, they’ll receive it in the local currency which is under hyperinflation.

What do you mean far less censorship? The censorship of Vietnamese media in Vietnam is just as strong as Chinese media in China. "Liberal" anglophone media is a deliberate government tactic to draw in investment - see the English versions of state media and compare them to the Vietnamese editions.

Power is just as concentrated in Vietnam as in China. There are massive factions that are aligned with Xi and that lead to the current policy. When those factions align behind Phu Trong we identify those factions as being decisive. In reality the two are very similar.

The CCP was founded almost at the same time as the KMT. They had almost identical founding objectives. Yes the KMT did most of the work early on but the CCP still fought the Japanese and they were not founded to overthrow the KMT.

Yup. It’s not about taking the quickest route from a to b, like textbooks try to do (no doubt to save paper) but to “fill in” the mental graph in your head as fully as you need.

If that means solving the same problem multiple times using different methods no matter how useless or inefficient, trying things without knowing if they’ll work, and adding to your bag of tricks for later problems.

> The invention of cryptocurrencies (specifically Bitcoin at least) is not to replace banks, but to replace the way transactions happens.

This is a wonderful hypothetical in much the same way as spherical cows, but in the real world today, crypto is treated as a (quite volatile) speculative asset, not a way to transact everyday business. The world does desperately need fast payment processing that doesn't involve companies like Visa or MasterCard skimming off the top every time to enrich themselves and dictating one-sided terms to others (hello, OnlyFans), but I'm not seeing any evidence that crypto is poised to handle that. It's too risky. And the compatibility layer with legacy currency is too unwieldy: Every time you convert to regular currency you generate a taxable event, which is fine if you treat crypto as akin to a stock, but it'll make tax time hell if you're buying groceries and lattes and gas with it. It's not impossible to pass laws to make the best-case for crypto happen, but that would require a lot of political will that I just don't see happening; too many people benefit from the current system.

If there's a cryptocurrency that solves those problems, please let me know, I'd be interested to hear about it. But the current players all just seem like speculative bubbles for wealthy techbros to play around with. Many of which are driving electricity consumption for mining, which has, shall we say, some environmental downsides.
