At no point did I say what the solution was.

You incorrectly assumed I'm advocating more lanes of traffic, that is one possible solution - if you do it be prepared to go up (or down), as you will need many layers of layers over layers (bridges) that way. There are many other possible solutions though. It didn't work in Katy Texas because they didn't build enough.

Improving transit would be my preferred option.

The point is if adding a lane of anything doesn't solve your traffic problem (or makes it worse) then you are not thinking big enough.
>But for some reason, the formalization of conduct enforcement stuff around OSS projects still feels weird, off-putting, and very "Corporate HR"-y to me.

But if a community already approved such rules is it OK that those would not apply equally for all? Before joining a new community I always check and see if there is a lot of toxicity or just low effort contributions and I am avoiding those, it would suck to join a community because they promise moderation and later you see that the rules don't apply equally.
No it isn't. Just because tech debt is the end-product doesn't at all imply that the root cause isn't management, though I can understand why it might be misinterpreted as such.

> Development then buys time with tech debt (cutting corners, copy pasting, not writing docs/tests).

> Then things start getting delayed because developers are paying the "interest" (i.e. regressions due to bad tests) on that original "debt" that was paid to give management what they wanted.

The problem with this analogy is, unlike financial debt, said tech debt is often caused by management, and I'm sure you'd agree. Imagine trying to pay down your credit card and Visa tells you to make more purchases or else you may lose your card entirely (and still have to make your monthly payments). Does management view tech debt as something they share or are responsible for? I doubt it.

What the use of "tech debt" actually does is create an artificial sense of legitimacy around all the problems that exist in a failing process. It obfuscates specifics from management, dazzling them with terminology they believe they understand. It allows developers to believe that nothing is truly their fault. It gaslights developers into seeing a counterproductive or even abusive relationship with management as just debt that they own.

It'd be one thing if it actually did work like debt and, yes, I'm sure it does work that way with some teams. I don't think that's the norm.
In this case, this a moderation of the community of human beings developing the rust compiler and its eco-system.

This is a team of human beings, who are going to have human interactions - tensions are bound to arise, and rules / traditions / taboos will develop to handle / resolve / hide them.

The Rust community seems to be having debates about those rules - not being part of the community, and not knowing anything about the situation, I have to brush it up as "someone else drama."

I suppose you can compare it to either the human interaction in the team of human beings developing `clang` (no idea how this is organized, or wether it has public politics / drama) ; and the C++ ISO community (which I'm pretty sure has loooooots of drama, but keeps it corporate and private.)

Parking minimums are especially onerous since they almost ensure you can only build strip malls for retail.

I quit my job due to stress-related flame out a few years ago, abruptly and with no plan at all (mentioned here[0]). I am a single father with no support network. It was a ridiculously stupid move in retrospect, but at the time I really couldn't face another day due to stress coming from all directions in my life. I froze up.

Thankfully, the company I work(ed) for was unreasonably cool about it - they gave me a good 5-6 weeks off, kept in touch while making it clear I would be welcomed back, and finally, re-instated me and offered a significant promotion and raise if I could move to another office in another state.

That's what did the trick - I was unable to see clearly that it wasn't the job, it was the living conditions that were really the problem (shared a house with my brother as he descended into alcoholism). Accepting the new position and moving across country was reinvigorating, even though we got to the new city mere days before the lockdowns hit.

Anyway, turns out I got a massively lucky break here and doubt I'll ever pull such a stunt in the future. Despite the lockdowns _everything_ has improved and my child and I are flourishing.

Point is - if you are about to make such a stress induced, abrupt, massive decision with no backup plan... it's worth being clear about it to your employer, taking a leave and gaining some perspective. It really is the case that you may regret it!

This little episode messed up my credit, threatened the well being of my kid, put even _more_ stress on me to figure things out. Despite the good outcome I'd strongly recommend nobody ever do anything like this. I could very easily ended up in a hovel or out on the street or some sort of horrible crap like that.

I think the thing to do would be to not treat people as disposable so that they end up poor, homeless, addicted, and desperate in the first place. I am not opposed to Texas' laws about protecting one's home and property with deadly force but the prevention can come far sooner i the form of better workers' rights, better working conditions, and social safety nets that drastically reduce the number of people incentivized to do things like steal catalytic converters or form organized crime gangs of addicts to routinely rob the Walgreens and CVS. You don't see that kind of thing nearly as often in other wealthy Western countries.
I'm inclined to agree with you. But, not having read the paper, they may have cited research that would discuss what sorts of damage would be likely to occur if it were a radio or sonic attack. I think that any radio or sonic attack would probably cause whole-brain damage, not localized lesions. Also white matter, gray matter volumes, DTI tract length and connectivity measures would be the first things I would look at for this sort of thing, so its not necessarily like you are p-hacking by looking for outcome measures that happen to be significant.

But again, haven't read the paper.

Is there any good way to craft a message like this?

If they outlined specific issues then it would invariably devolve into armchair quarterbacking of those issues rather than the the underlying question of what kinds of checks-and-balances should exist for the Core Team -- gossip, accusations, and political discussions are a lot more fun than debating governance structures.

On the other hand, if no specific issues are raised then people are frustrated by having only a partial understanding. Because it's a lot simpler to evaluate an argument if you already know whose side you're on.

Yes, you would just attach it to the network switch and have it join the cluster.

I left a dead-end and soul-sucking job without anything planned. I did stay at that job for 7 years so I had already learned as much as I could.

Some of my reasoning for leaving was that it was much better for my mental health for me to leave and also, I would have some good job prospects since I had already gained 7 years of experience from it.

I took a month off to recharge and reset mentally and then I began my job search. After about a month, I was lucky enough to find a good job that was a better fit for my interests.

My network did help me out during this difficult transition. So I'd recommend having a good network for such a move.

I was also a little bit lucky since it was through my network that I came to know of my new company and so if not for my network then I probably would have had a much more difficult time in getting a better job and in worse case, I could have been unemployed for a long-time.

I did take the risk though because I was already at the a low point during that time. I guess sometimes that works out but it was indeed a risky thing for me to do as well.

That's a simulation based on the connectome and a trivially simple body, producing a very small piece of behaviour. I don't mean to minimise it, it's very cool and I'm not an expert. The video itself says that it is limited.

As I understand it, C. Elegans displays a surprisingly large and complex set of behaviours given its (relatively) extremely simple nervous system. A database of thousands of these "behavioural phenotypes" has been built and provides a well-defined goal for attempts to reproduce the behaviours in simulations. Very few of these behaviours have been replicated. To solve the problem will apparently require a lot more than the connectome, which has been known for a long time. It's not enough to know that neuron A connects to neuron B, or even the full 3D structure of that connection. You need to know how that connection influences the behaviour of the connected neurons. People refer to this as "knowing the weights" but AFAIK it's still an open question whether a model based on "weights" is sufficient.

If you can afford it, do it! The worst that can happen is you'll just get another job.

I quit a job about 15 years ago with no plans and enough money to last me a year or two. It taught me a lot about myself. I had planned on hiking and skiing and maybe starting my own company, but mostly I just sat around catching up on TV shows and movies because all my friends were working full-time. I also did some volunteer work to fill the time and keep up contact with other people.

After about a year of that, I was really bored, and it only took a month or two to line up another job, even in the 2008 recession. I took a pay cut relative to my previous job, but I met great new people, learned a lot of new stuff, and eventually got enough equity to more than make up the salary difference.

Yeah, I guess I'm just getting old. The idea of an open source project with enough people to form an entire committee of moderators also feels weird, but is apparently fairly normal these days.
I would be surprised if most languages implement it that way.

Counting code points would be a start and would solve this particular problem. But that’s not glyph count. You really need to count grapheme clusters. For example two strings that are visually identical and contain “é” might have a different number of code points since one might use the combining acute accent codepoint while the other one might use the precomposed “e with accute accent”.

Even a modern language like Rust doesn’t have standard library support for counting grapheme clusters; you have to use a third party one.

And if you do count grapheme clusters then people will eventually complain about that as well (“TIL that getting the length of a String in X takes linear time”).

There's been a longstanding issue that a lot of people are unhappy with the level of control that Evan exercises over the development of the language. On top of that, a lot of the development of the core language happens behind closed doors, which has given the impression of stagnation over the past few years.

As I understand it, the fundamental reason for this situation is technical. It is really difficult to enforce purity in a strict language with an FFI, because the behavior of side-effecting functions would be predictable and they'd be easy to use. In contrast, while someone certainly could release a Haskell library that made pervasive use of side-effecting functions, the resulting library would be horribly brittle and no-one would want to use it.

Evan really wants Elm to be pure. To ensure it stays that way, he's banned community packages from using the Javascript FFI. This has been unpopular, but I think he's probably right that this is the only way of keeping the language pure.

It comes back to the usual open source entitlement debate. A lot of people seem to really deeply believe that Evan owes them something, and is required to manage his project along the lines of some kind of standard 'open source' model. He doesn't see it that way.

No, because I'm not saying that is a position I personally hold. I'm merely presenting it as a position that I know that (some) people do hold.

My position here is, roughly speaking, "this (intentionally injuring mice or other animals) is an issue where there is a legit discussion to be had around the ethics of same." Of course I have my own opinion, but I don't really care to get into it. I just didn't think that the parent poster needed to be downvoted for raising the question.

> An NFT is creating artificial scarcity: one person thinks they "own" a digital asset.

This is true for most digital images, NFT or not... one person usually does own it. In either case, there is no scarcity for observers -- anyone can look at the image as much as they want.

In both cases, people can even copy the image and it use it without the owner's permission, if that's what you're really concerned about losing. But at least the NFT makes it very clear who that owner is, for those who do seek permission or licensing (unlike your average jpeg). For anyone who believes in intellectual property, that seems like a step forward.
I'm pretty sure you can resign with a lot less "drama", for the lack of a better word. Simply make the PR remove people from the moderators list and say "We don't want to be moderators anymore", but instead they give clues to what could have happen for them to take this action.

I guess you can say that their action was "semi-public". It wasn't trying to be completely private, and neither completely public, but somewhere in-between.

Yes, I know about them, there was a (quite hopeful) event [1] recently where they rented an entire plane from New York to Satu Mare and then they visited Sighetu Marmatiei, the small town where Elie Wiesel was actually born, plus they re-built a synagogue in there.

I was talking more about the (very) secular Yiddish culture and associated language norms that we used to have around these parts of the world, retrospectively it's quite visible in classic Hollywood productions like The Apartment (I'm sure there must be more than one study about the Yiddish cultural influence on Billy Wilder's movies) and especially in Ernst Lubitsch's movies. That part is all gone. Plus the whole socialist/left-wing movement that was heavily influenced by the local Jewish community (who had been raised in the Yiddish culture), that is of course also long gone, what was not destroyed by the Nazis and by other local rightwing autocrats was transformed (for a lack of better word) into the zionist movement (i.e. not wanting to make a better world for everybody, just for the Jewish people following Herzl's writings, which is fair enough but still a loss imo).

Productivity Tips from a Billionaire
I have boiled a lot of lobster and crab live. In my experience, they stop twitching in 5 seconds or so. I find this method faster more humane than chopping through their carapace and rooting around their head with a knife looking to scramble their brain while they struggle.

The latter is not a task I expect many home cooks to be good at.

They key is to have the water at a rolling boil and have enough volume that it doesn't cool when you add a 2 lb lobster head first.

I suspect a lot of the horror stories are from people who added lobster to a pot with too little water.

If that was the case, the obvious response would be a formal statement of rebuke and censure wrt. the offending member's behavior, which would clarify that such things aren't welcome in the project. The fact that we aren't getting anything close to that extreme suggests that this is in fact a big fat nothingburger. (Unless you think that CoC violations are so widespread in the Rust Core Team that naming the specific people involved would have made no discernible difference, but so far we've seen nothing to indicate that.)
