> It’s truly the only low-level language that could actually be used for systems programming.

No it is not. There is Ada/SPARK and has been for a long time, and it is for critical systems. I recommend checking out https://blog.adacore.com/ for examples, there is plenty of that. For one: "An Embedded USB Device stack in Ada". There are also many articles about SPARK. For example: "Enhancing the Security of a TCP Stack with SPARK". These are just one of the recent articles.
I highly recommend "The Hyperinflation Survival Guide: Strategies for American Businesses Hardcover" by Gerald Swanson

Fair but it’s an appeal to authority and skirts true Scotsman but… never the less on occasion reputable journalists are leveraged to plant narratives on behalf of interested parties because they are reputable, so there is that. It’s not as though very wealthy people were not ensnared by mr Epstein and would love to keep their involvement low key.
> Supply side is a valid economic theory.

I presume that actually think that this is the case and that you didn't just forget the /s.

Supply-side economics has been thoroughly debunked, again and again[0]. Just look the current state of the US.

> Give people more money and they spend it.

It depends. It depends how much money they have, how much money they already have and what your definition of 'spending' is. Not every kind of 'spending' is of economic and social value. Give a billionaire a dollar and they'll forget it with the lint in their pocket, will get thrown out with the trousers and incinerated along with the trash. Give a billionaire a million dollars and they'll put it into NFT or crypto or something else of questionable social or economical value. It's only when you give a poor person some money that they will spend it in a 'useful' way that actually increases productivity.

But "Give people more money and they spend it" not supply-side economics, actually, is it?

In all actual actuality, supply-side economics is about lowering taxes, decreasing regulation, and allowing free trade, with a heavy emphasis on lowering taxes. You could say that it's primarily about lowering taxes, because 'decrease regulation' and 'promote free trade' is not exactly a supply-side original. SSE is about lowering taxes, primarily for the 'job creators'. That's what the Laffer curve is for. And only the beginning of the issues with supply-side economics ...

> Apparently we are still talking about it despite the economic expansion of the 1980’s

What good is economic expansion if no one but a very small and exclusive group of very exclusive and already very rich people profits said economic expansion? Do larger number make you happy? if so, here's a big number for you: 10↑10.

If you are not more happy now, then you are in the same boat as most US workers since 1979. Just because there was economic expansion, it doesn't mean their lives got better. Worse, in fact. Wages stalled, living expenses increased, social support networks were cut and cut and cut again. Why exactly? Yes, exactly. Supply-side economics, or "voodoo economic policy", as George H. W. Bush famously described it. Presumably because it thrives on the corpses of exsanguinated workers.

> a Democratic ploy [...]

To my knowledge, one of the mayor reasons for the '70ies economic downturn was the "Nixon shock" where prices and wages were frozen and import taxed increased. It's named after Richard Nixon. He was a Republicant President[1].

I have also noticed an absolutely massive increase in products having 5 star review averages as reported by Amazon, then you scroll down to the top reviews, and it's almost pages of 1 star reviews reporting complete failures of the product. Their algorithm is basically worthless or obviously manipulated if the majority of top reviews are 1-star and yet the item has a 4.5 or 5 star average.

I've stopped buying on Amazon for many things, using it mainly for repeat stuff I know that works, and I've been trying to find things at other big box stores like Best buy or Target, as you mention, or directly from the manufacturer. Amazon isn't really cheaper other than faster shipping for legitimate items from main brands anyway. In several cases, I've found Amazon to actually be more expensive for some items.
"There is a core architectural difference between Unix and Windows. Linux is a file-oriented OS and Windows is an API-oriented OS... The interesting thing is that the Windows approach is winning in the world and that makes PowerShell the best tool to the modern world. That sounds controversial but it is clearly true - most of the world is moving towards REST APIs returning structured objects (JSON documents)."

I'm not sure if the web could have worked any other way. RPC over HTTP and other message/pub-sub web technologies are largely used by enterprise-level applications, and not by modern web sites, correct?

I make a point of trying to use powershell for scripting stuff (instead of .bat files) and I kindof enjoy it, sometimes you get it to do something really smart. But I can never get my head around the concatenation rules, and how they work when you're passing stuff to legacy Cmd shell commands. Something to do with the & symbol, and maybe speechmarks? But the " and ' work very differently? The problems come when you want to pass multiple arguments to a Cmd command ...

The end result is I can't really ever get much done without a lot of googling. But thats par for the course these days I guess.

So the first part of this is something I agree with, it feels like most of the gains came about because 'the rich' had to give 'the poor' something or they'd get rid of them in a bloody massacre. The history books are fairly clear on this, whether it's Magna Carta (rich lords putting the King on notice) or miner strikes. I believe Bismark is someone who made this strategy explicit.

> The second part of Bismarck’s strategy to destroy social democracy was the introduction of social legislation to woo the workers away from political radicalism. During the 1880s, accident and old-age insurance as well as a form of socialized medicine were introduced and implemented by the government. But Bismarck’s two-pronged strategy to win the workers for the conservative regime did not succeed. Support for the Social Democrats increased with each election.

I don't understand why the USSR failing or being 'bad' is necessary to further incentivize 'the rich', if anything I'd say the opposite is true.

There's an enormous difference between a physical object, which has inherent scarcity; and information, which does not. We strongly enforce property rights on physical objects because since they are scarce, theft is possible (if a person acquires a physical object then someone else acquires it, it is necessary that the original acquirer no longer possesses it - therefore either it was a gift, or it was paid for in some manner, or the second acquisition was theft). The notion of theft of information was invented by politicians due to an utter lack of creativity with respect to how to incentivise the creation of a non-scarce resource. While physical property rights are rights in the positive sense (they grant owners of physical objects the right not to have those objects removed from them without due consideration), intellectual property rights are rights only in the negative sense (they grant the owners no inherent abilities they did not already have, instead they only restrict the freedom of others by limiting their rights to acquire something that would otherwise be limitlessly abundant).

It's well over a century old. William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech was discrediting the same notion. Will Rogers's original coinage of "trickle down" to ridicule it dates to 1932.

The actual comparison is more like "Take $20 MM from a billionaire and give 1 million hungry people $20 each, or let the billionaire keep the $20 MM". The billionaire could invest in SV startups for example, and the hungry people could buy food. That's the first order effect. The second order effect is that the billionaire, if taxed, will see his future profits reduced, so next year you'll only tax $18 MM, and the year after only $16, maybe. If you leave him alone, next year he'll invest $22 MM in startups and the year after $24 MM.

You would think so, but my company (and others) have tried, but no one wants to pay anything reasonable for such a service (with a hardware device). Also, there's an ersatz, by using your phone with facetime. The experience was pretty good (better than zoom for video stuff).
Do you ever avoid submitting something on HN so devs won't ruin it?
Let's say I found a way to bring back the number of dislikes of YT videos. Knowing that some YT devs are on the platform, I'd be reluctant to share it so that they won't know about it [0] and ruin the already-ruined YT experience. It shouldn't be like this, I know. But I've lost hope in the well-intentions of some devs in the industry. I thought we were supposed to have each other's back, but apparently money makes people do anything.

[0]: At least for quite some time.

Edit: By "well-intentions" and "having each-other's back", I mean devs doing something that most devs would enjoy, not making each other's life harder. Going back to my example: As a dev, how many times have you watched a YT tutorial to sharpen your skills? Now w/o the dislikes count, all devs have a much harder time filtering useless videos. Whoever removed the dislike count on YT has caused millions of wasted hour-man. Then again, if they're paid well, many devs would do the same.

That's in fact why we can have a discussion about hiring processes and promotion schemes in the private sector. In the public sector that simply doesn't exist as it's all a monopoly (obviously enough), there's no alternatives to point to to say which one is a better model. That's what meritocracy is, meritocracy isn't that meritless things don't exist.

"spaz" is indeed short for "spastic", but it's not typically seen as an ableist slur like it is in the UK. Presumably, the word had been out of use as a term for people with cerebral palsy long enough in the US that it passed through the "Euphemism treadmill"[1], and is no longer associated with actual disability (similar to "imbecile" or "moron").

> Even if we ignore poison messages, strict ordering on its own isn't that easy to pull off. Namely, you're limited to a single consumer and can only fetch one message at a time.

Yup. If you want to be sure, you need to persist which message for each entity X you have already processed and ignore older ones. And also make sure you handle race conditions where both messages are handled almost at the same time at two different consumers, by using a lock in a db or so. Which both are annoying, ideally I could just process messages without any care.

Spent all day trying to architecture this for a new queue where ordering matters but we need lots and lots of consumeres working at the same time prefetching messages. My case is actually a bit similar to the one in the article about a "stream of vehicle positions". I only really care about the latest one. Problem is it's hard to know which is the latest one without having a db and check if I've already processed something more recent. Any other ideas on how to efficiently solve this? As in, strategies to handle messages arriving out of order, so I can avoid that as a requirement.

I found this issue when trying to buy a filter replacement for my LG refrigerator. The reviews reported several cases of wrong filters sent, some used, and some fake/counterfeit. Like one was literally just an empty plastic shell. I ended up just going to LG's website, and it was actually cheaper, albeit with slower shipping. But who cares for something like that.
>> The interesting part (to me, as that is not my specialty) lies in the translation of the 3D constraints (including rotation, etc.) into a single objective function for solving Newton-style.

A very helpful summary from r/rust on the same topic [1]

>A few notes for people who haven't been tracking the Rust-in-kernel situation. Drivers especially have been targeted for a few reasons. First, drivers are isolated, with abstractions that don't require interaction with the rest of the system. Second, Linux is available on more systems than the Rust compiler has been ported to. Because drivers are inherently system-dependent, it is not an issue to introduce a dependency on rustc on compatible systems. Third, bugs tend to arise more in drivers than other parts of the codebase, so Rust can do the most good starting there.

I wouldn't say it was really hostility. But Gecko just wasn't designed to be embeddable in the first place. And they have millions of things to catch up at the time they ultimately decided they could only focus on a few things like Quantum and other things in Project Snappy. May be in the future.

Compared to Webkit the whole engine was designed as an embeddable engine from Day one.

Maybe they should take a cue from Intel and implement on-chip DLC?
Nobody really proposed these in earnest. Also, it’s a kernel, where diversity of programming languages is a nightmare. It’s not the kernel’s job to support every language people want - it’s just that Rust has enough going for it that it’s finally being considered worthwhile after years of investigation.

There are many medical applications. One is remote care and surgical follow-up. In many places getting access to a specialist is difficult (esp for Pediatric and Derm). A nurse would wear Glass and act as a proxy for the remote specialist doc or allow for follow up post-surgery. This is a big deal for remote communities that have poor health outcomes because of lack of access. In the US there's no incentive to reduce cost or provide better care (really) so it's a hard sell.

Remote support is really targeted at operations that have a high cost when it's not working (like manufacturing) and have a high degree of sophistication. A lot of times someone might need to drives hours or get on a plane from some other location to address the issue.

There were issues with all the products, but for my money Glass or Realwear was the best solution. Glass if it needs to be easy and Realwear if it needs to be robust. I can be more specific if you like.
