I'd also like to add that they are, for the most part, already building our products quite literally. Being on the bad side of China might've a farther reach than just missing out on a few customers.

Your idea isn't wrong/bad... But you are aware it creates a potential race condition, right? The `stat` check and the `rm` are two separate operations, with a nonzero time interval between them. So it's entirely possible for another process to delete or rename that file, after the `stat` but before the `rm` can run.

Resolving the race robustly is actually kind of hard, in Bash... You can check whether `rm` returns a nonzero exit status, but that might fail for all sorts of other reasons (e.g., bad permissions). I guess you could case/select the exit status numerically, but that could turn into a real case of bedbugs, really quick.

I guess you could repeat the `stat` check afterwards, if the ~`rm` fails? In that case, if the path doesn't exist afterwards, you can just swallow the `rm` error and let it roll.

Practically speaking, I try to avoid using Bash for anything where automatic, reliable error handling is that important... I love cool Bash tricks, but it's just not designed for sophisticated control flow.
> For example recycling plastic is your responsibility - but what if your city burns plastic recycling? What do you do? Do you continue to buy plastic blame the companies for using it and the city for burning it? Why should the individual be penalized?

Unfortunately, while what you are saying is the conventional wisdom, it turns out that it’s also insidious propaganda from the plastic and beverage industry created to evade responsibility for their products.

According to the Changing Markets Foundation, which has extensively tracked the history of this issue

> the industry has successfully shifted the blame and responsibility for plastic pollution from the corporations to consumers and public authorities, all while promoting recycling as a convenient excuse to produce ever more plastic. We see how fake environmental groups and increasing numbers of new voluntary initiatives are used to distract from accountability, while legislation – such as plastic-bag bans and bottle bills – has been furiously fought against for years.
> X could leave China just fine

If something has potential, then it will happen. The higher the potential, the faster it will happen. And laws, contrary to what many believe, only has limited potential.

So if leaving China has potential, then it will happen. Tariffs have already made the potential higher, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's breaking even just yet.

> It would seem this is the variant we would want to spread worldwide and let it take over the more dangerous strains.

We don't want any variant to spread worldwide because with each infection it has the potential to mutate and turn into another (sometimes more dangerous) variant. That's how Covid-19 came to existence in the first place, mutating from a relatively harmless Coronavirus.

I read a fair amount and am often frustrated that nobody o talk to had read the same stuff as me, and I can't really discuss it with them, or even make allusions in conversation to any effect. Meanwhile, I don't really participate in pop culture, so when people are talking about a popular tv show (or one of the few mainstream books like Harry Potter), I have nothing to say and can't participate.

I'd say, if you want to have common ground with people, make sure to at least stay abreast of the popular stuff. And of course keep reading stuff that is interesting to you, just make sure you're doing it for yourself.

> There are of course criticism in the details. For example, a majority of the funds went to the top 10% which isn't great. How the funds were deployed was far, far from ideal. It lead to asset price inflation because of this. So there are problems with it, but the alternative, not investing, would have been much worse.

The criticism of the details is the point. Spending half as much money by cutting out the portion that went to the top 10% is only the most obvious of the better alternatives.

This doesn't mean anything without the details:

> Government deficits are an investment.

The government can borrow a trillion dollars and give it to Mark Zuckerberg or whoever else donates the most to their campaigns. That's not an investment, it's corruption. It represents a net loss to the American people, because they lose the money, have to pay interest on the debt forever, and get nothing in return.

To be an investment you actually have to invest in something. But during an economic crisis, the best thing to invest in is people. If you're going to borrow money, just send out the checks. Everybody gets the same amount. It helps the people who are in trouble, it stimulates demand, and it isn't susceptible to corruption or regulatory capture.

And if you did that, you wouldn't have to borrow as much, because the same money would be more effective and the same benefit could be achieved with less of it.

But that's not what's happening.

You can still host mongoDB anywhere you'd like and manage it yourself. What they would like to prevent was AWS and the like offering "MongoDB as a Service", because that's how they make money and fund development of the product.

I'm not sure whether you are disagreeing with anything I wrote.

>It wasn't stopped despite its success. It was stopped because it didn't work and threatened to destroy the entire fabric of US military forces.

Whether something "works" depends on what you define its purpose to be.

Saying the draft "didn't work" is exactly where I think we went wrong.

"Threatening to destroy the entire fabric of US military forces" (or of society in general) constitutes "working" if it prevents the continuation of that sort of war and in the long run, preserves a country that is as we would like it to be.

It was the war that didn't work.

For a lot of these I think idempotency is the wrong angle to look at it. For example, the problem with mkdir foo is not that it's non-idempotent, it's that (in most cases) the directory already existing is not an error to begin with: it still satisfies the same post-condition you desired. To put it another way, you're usually trying to say "ensure this directory exists", not "ensure you create this directory", and as such, unless you're really trying to test directory creation, mkdir without -p is a semantic bug regardless of whether you need to run it multiple times.
I find when I do code-search, similar code that is copy and pasted into multiple repositories (vendor code) is always a problem too.

Skipping well known vendoring directories would be cool too.
Probably true. I was thinking of a particular "major" brand. I do own a couple scopes of those lower priced brands.
Honestly, I think it goes much deeper than that.

The more I learn about optimising the business for revenue, the more I come to understand that consumer-focused retail is essentially a socially acceptable form of prostitution.

We don't exist to solve a problem in peoples' lives, but to satisfy primal urges, indulge fantasies and make people feel powerful/special. The actual product you take home is just a souvenir.

It's autism.

One of the symptoms of autism is [the inability to recognize sarcasm](http://www.healthcentral.com/autism/c/1443/162610/autism-sar...) without the help of idiotic, illiterate signals like "/s". Your example has the same cause; people who are unable to understand nuance and social cues, whether in real life or in written form.
First encountered this concept while writing ansible scripts. Makes quick intuitive sense but actually doing this is a lot harder.

e.g. Approx zero percent of the stackoverflow codesnippets you google are idempotent.

So as a new learner that's a show stopper right there. Barely hanging on to the stuff you're being taught let alone being able to see a big picture concept that is 20x miles above your current level.

I was confusing the order of LN arguments for years until I read a pro tip that they are the same order as CP arguments.

Creates file2 that is a copy of file1.

And now

ln -s file1 file2

Creates file2 that links to file1.

No more confusion.

I am still asking the source of 60% drop in birth rate of Uyghur groups. You probably need similar data for other ethnic groups to prove that this drop in Uyghur is unusual.

The point remains that no one is applying the same standard when discussing China related issues. Why birth rate drop is linked to genocide? Because it's China!

>There are people behind Apple

I think that is precisely why this has been leaked. Some people inside Apple obviously are fed up with what Apple is doing. I would imagine especially those working in operation and supply chain.

There were lots of signs this was happening since 2016 if you are watching Apple supply chain over the years. But it is the first time we got some sort of evidence.
These days it costs <$1000 to sequence a de novo genome (not cents). For human genomes it's cheaper of course, but that's because we have a reference sequence to compare to. The Human Genome Project (and other efforts) had to build that reference and annotate it. So not quite an apples-to-apples comparison to compare sequencing of a modern-day patient sample to building a reference genome from scratch.
I think you misread me.

Doubling your commute length had nothing to do with my argument.
So, what we're saying here is in effect, "and all the other fields should have their default value".

Specifically, when you initialise a structure like this, the .. is "struct update syntax" and is followed by an instance of that structure from which remaining fields will be copied. Default is a Rust trait (similar to an interface if you've never seen Rust traits before) and it has the method default() which gives you a default of whatever type.

Rust has type inference, if you don't specify a type, but there is only one possibility that could work, the type inference might (and in this case does) see that and you needn't bother laboriously writing down the type. This can only happen where there was no possible ambiguity. In this case, the only type you can use for struct update syntax is the structure type you're updating of course, BufferInfo, and so Default::default() must mean the default BufferInfo.

If you found the definition of BufferInfo it probably says #[derive(Default)] which means, using a macro just implement Default for this structure in the obvious way, although it might actually have an explicit Default written out instead.

You know what is so grating about this conversation?

Every comment you wrote shows your knowledge is incomplete and based on only what you heard/read, and yet you talk like you know all the theory and therefore you can prove how it doesn't work in practice. When presented with new information that shows how you are wrong, you double down on your theoretical background instead of looking at what people empirically achieved.

You end up sounding like someone who studied a bit of aerodynamics and then goes to believe they can teach birds how to fly. Or worse, you see a beetle flying in your face and start claiming "this is physically impossible, it's not real!"

Please, don't be those people who can not do anything useful with their life and end up just shitting or doubting on the works of others.
Apart from some tidal forces we probably wouldn't feel a thing but rather just continue following the free falling trajectory.

Gravitational waves are also different from changes to the amount of gravitational force. This can be seen from the fact that gravitational waves affect the distances between objects, whereas the sun which exerts far more gravitational force has no measurable effect (at least, to my knowledge rotating objects don't change length noticeably).

I liked the first half of the essay - some interesting nuggets of some possible ideas, particularly the point about schisms forming rather than continued collective action once a group becomes large enough.

The last half sounds a little bit too much like the bias towards markets and profit motives and whatnot without question and without critique. There are plenty of dysfunctional for-profit orgs that don't allocate resources well, in spite of overwhelming feedback, from the market and elsewhere. The majority of for-profit orgs also have a sales team that is out there pounding the pavement trying to drive sales: it's not all, "Build it and they will come."

I don't buy that a successful company needs to be a mission either. That's very common thinking in the startup world, but not even close to representative of the whole.
