The problem occurs when I arrive on a landing page for a project re-invented in Rust that advertises not encountering double frees as a feature of the project. I notice the project is nothing more than a build tool for web development, and I just shake my head.
Personally, it's less "Rust is great" more "We are seeking to address performance bottlenecks in security sensitive, uncontrolled inputs, please don't make me go back to C".

Many people look at a chart that goes up and down and imagine they see cycles. It's popular to speak of business cycles, for example. Unfortunately, it is not clear that anything in the economy oscillates such that it's appropriate to describe the system as having cycles.

You might have heard of Fourier transforms. Any time-series can be transformed into its sinusoidal components, even if a composition of waves is not a good model.

It's possible, and in my opinion more likely, that the business cycle is not a cycle at all.
I know there will be a lot of comments about how "A good manager can do wonders". No one denies this.

The problem is that the industry is rife with bad managers who only care about themselves instead of the actual producers of output.

Truly surprising to see how many managers overestimate their role so much without producing any value.

Managers should be paid less than ICs and should really only be assistants to ICs (especially if ICs are syncing with product, marketing and doing all non engineering work anyway). The manager is only a paper pusher at this point.
I've dabbled in rust and it's been good but I've never progressed further than just modifying existing codebases.

I've yet to find a good toolkit/framework that helps me build web apps. I stick to JavaScript merely because it's a language that allows me to do most of what I want, in a tolerable way, in most situations, on both the client and server.

But, I know the problems with it. And there are a lot.

Is there a toolkit for building web apps that has the ergonomics of something like Svelte? Or, at least is a toolkit that radically simplifies building things in the client with wasm?

Until I find that, I'm just going to stick with JavaScript, only because it's more important for me to ship quick prototypes than build something perfect before I know what that is.

They famously shipped the right kind of volcanic ash to e.g. Spain rather than using local materials. They didn't know the chemistry for why (otherwise they could have found the materials with the right characteristics locally), but they definitely knew that particular aggregates lasted better than others.

As a macOS user, I highly appreciate it if Apple doesn’t provide an easy way for the app developers to disable that small dot either in normal or presentation mode. Of course this is my personal preference but in my opinion it should make it harder for apps to bypass that visual indicator. I want to know _with more confidence_ if an app is using the mic!
Unions are one solution but to me they seem inferior to cooperatives if we’re talking about ideals. A union has a somewhat adversarial relationship with management. Why not just have the workers be the management? Of course unions serve a purpose in that workers can’t own an Amazon warehouse but they could unionize one. But I seem them as transitional rather than the ideal.
I'm pretty in the dark about [new thing]. I don't have skills in it and really don't grok it. And even though it seldom gets mentioned, my insecurity about that gap in my knowledge -- that thing that makes my existing knowledge a little bit obsolete -- makes me laser focused on those instances where it does appear (Baader-Meinhof phenomenon of sorts): If one in a hundred posts mentions [new thing], I'll throw my hands up and complain about how these hipsters are trying to push this stuff down my throat at every venue. Maybe I'll no true scotsman in a futile effort to try to coerce people against talking about it, for instance by claiming that real pros don't actually talk about it at all, Fight Club style.

This has played out over, and over, and over again. Blockchain, NoSQL, JavaScript, Angular, "web3", Android, iOS, Swift, K8s, and on and on. Legitimate criticism gets drown out by people just fearful that something might take hold and then they're going to have to change how they do things or learn something new.

Eh.
Also based on a a quick scan: the mutex appears to be used for other state in the plugin.

For better performance and stability they should consider changing the mutex to an os_unfair_lock and maybe find a way to avoid dispatch_async to a global queue. And I’m not convinced the locking is correct around/within the dispatch_async blocks. But it might be fine.
I don't think any of what you are saying here amounts to any sort of corruption.
I've taken jobs that I regret immediately. You don't have to put it on your resume if it's a few weeks. The dread was always justified. People do end up in shitty companies because they have to pay the bills, and a lot if employers understand that.

I would not recommend sticking with it a year though. I've done that. You can't do good work at a company you don't feel good at, and chances are everyone else feels the same. It's likely your career can move backwards and you'll be in a worse spot than leaving now.

Also the job market is still hot and you might want to look before it cools down.

I personally don't like leetcode problems either, and a lot of companies don't use that method anymore. Feel free to email me your resume if you're still searching.

Close. It's more a comment on the structure of those random variations, and whether it's appropriate to describe the system as periodic at all.

For example, sometimes it rains, and sometimes the sun shines. Is the weather cyclical? Depends on the place, time, and time-scale you're considering.

Maybe a better example is roulette. If you watch the "cycles" of red and black, you might imagine you could make predictions. Gamblers are often fooled by this randomness.

Yes, yes it is.
That’s the nature of bigger companies. You can cut out middle managers and have each manager manage 200 people but… that would work exactly as you’d expect (via implicit leadership, which will go well or poorly based on mostly luck). The more people you have, the harder it is to know who and what is working well and what isn’t. Attention only goes so far.

Yes I read it. Rereading, I see they use the the term to mean neighborhood streets. Then yes, it's entirely possible the pedestrian carnage has little to do with speed limits, and mostly to do with inadequate crossings. In fact, we know that to be true because only 1/4 of fatal accidents have speed as a factor.

I suggest boning up on basic statistics!

Yes, maufacturer warranties are not implied warranties. They are explicit promises from the manufacturer to repair or replace products that fall below certain standards within a period of time.

For example, the TP-Link limited warranty explicitly identifies TP-Link USA Corp. as the warrantor:

> TP-Link USA Corp. (“TP-Link USA”) provides a limited warranty on all eligible TP-Link products purchased in the United States.

For that I always remember the fable, where animals have bought all those expensive shiny musical instruments, but nobody knows how to play.

They are trying to emulate an orchestra, by rearranging the seats, in the hope that the right seating will make make them sound good. But the orchestra cannot play for the lack of individual skills and lack of the leadership.

I saw in enterprises, they are buying all possible software licenses, but nobody knows how to use them. So the management is constantly shuffling people and churning technologies, in the hope something sticks.
I'm looking forward to a modern remake of 1954's classic film Them! featuring these car-sized millipede's sudden & mysterious appearance in the tranquil English countryside, and how flamethrowers along with high voltage electric pylons can save the day.
> It had the same problem that it still has.

It's not reasonable to say it's the "same" problem when they changed it this much.

> The only thing that "worked fine before" is that you were ok with what the OS put there because it was rare for that to happen.

So rare it may have never happened. So yes, it did work fine. Are you implying that's wrong? There's no way to make a bulletproof setup, after all. Maybe with an external device you get a glitched or blank screen instead of a notification, but any hardware or software could fail. Possible chance of failure is not the same as a constant 100% chance problem, and does not excuse a constant 100% problem.

Management is responsible for the organization, hence why comments about how hard it is to deal with a messy organization tend to fall on unsympathetic ears.

The maker pen is not CSG but we’ve certainly thought about CSG. Instead we simply generate mathematical data and build the meshes from that. There is no voxel system but we have experimented.

Each client can generate meshes on their own and send them to other clients.

Some meshes are small and plentiful, others are large. It depends on what you build and how it is set up to interact or animate. For example, most static geo is baked into one mesh.

This is roughly where my knowledge of the meshes end. I’m not familiar with how they animate enough to comment.
> Rust is “hard”. (It’s not, by the way. It’s not hard. It’s truly not.)

As someone who likes Rust, it takes days or weeks to wrap your head around the borrow checker, and "spaghetti object graph" code patterns in other languages don't transfer well to Rust (Cell<i32> is more awkward to use than C++ int, and RefCell introduces runtime panics). I've had the misfortune of dealing with code written in unsound unsafe Rust which freely converts aliased raw pointers into &mut, even when they likely conflict with other & or &mut. I still don't know how to rewrite it in safe Rust.

Rust is built around making mutable multiple ownership awkward. This is fine (and often results in more understandable code) when you're working in single-ownership code conceived and built around Rust, but when you're using something like gtk-rs (which binds to a C framework built around reference counting and cyclic parent pointers), Rust makes mutating shared state awkward (adding extra state alongside GTK widgets requires RefCell or similar), and reference-counted callbacks awkward (the clone! macro breaks rustfmt).

> Nobody thinks you’re smarter or better because you can remember all the pitfalls.

Oh, I know some people who think that way. Personally I think Rust teaches you the same things as C++ code (reasoning about state, knowing what parts of your code reference an object, knowing when to free an object).

> Soon your solution won’t be faster to market, and will be more expensive to maintain to boot. And someone’s going to eat your lunch while you complain.

There's no Rust GUI framework as comprehensive and mature as Qt. (Then again, there's no C++ GUI framework as clean, usable, and stable as Qt should've been. And people are moving to web UIs.) And some (not all) Rust libraries are amateurish from people who don't know what they're doing; for example, https://lib.rs/crates/samplerate allocates on every conversion (which isn't safe for real-time audio generation) rather than writing into a preallocated &mut buffer. https://docs.rs/hound/latest/hound/ is a WAV file reader which branches on every sample (IDK if it gets optimized out), rather than performing error checking at file open time and bounds checking once per block, which feels bizarre to me.

Re. "An ability to compensate for the shitty state of technology" that exists today isn’t some kind of a competitive “moat”.", writing your own bindings to C code, or performing unsafe C calls directly, instead of using the ergonomic libraries which don't work properly, is compensating for shitty technology.

IMO this article comes pretty close to flamebait and trolling.

That's how Forth is normally implemented (and what makes it so handy on a new platform that doesn't have any dev tools yet). Although there's a further difference between implementations that rely on an existing assembler to implement the native bits, and those that roll their own in a way that allows them to cross-compile themselves.

As for the file, I suspect that you're referring to JonesForth, which is a heavily commented implementation of the first variety:

China admits that a large part of their GDP is building and tearing things down. There is no "fakeness" about it, it just is what it is.

Beijing is not under lockdown, it just isn't an open city right now.

I think software will never feel like it's improved because as technology improves and changes, new features will be expected of software and so while some parts of software improve, other new parts will bring down the average quality.

It reminds me of Shepard Tones which sound like they are infinitely increasing in pitch which is impossible because the human ear can only hear certain frequencies. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzNzgsAE4F0)

Personally I tend to use C and C++ tools more often, and in that universe, being statically free of memory errors is an innovation. In the webdev world, I suppose native speed and not having a large runtime or GC is Rust's primary innovation (though for batch jobs like build tools, a small Go-like runtime/GC isn't actually a negative compared to Rust, and I've never noticed GC pauses when I previously use the Micro editor in Golang).
Wasn't your argument that increased exposure leads to less harm via developing social regulation mechanisms, though? Using alcohol as an example?

Yet alcohol is by far the most destructive substance in terms of both $ and human life costs. Which seems to weaken the argument significantly...

So maybe prohibition is not the answer. But whatever we've done with alcohol clearly isn't, either.

I haven't tasted the delights of the veggie omelet yet. But the dried pork patty we had in the mid 1980's was horrific. This was before the flameless ration heaters, so your choice was to hydrate it with cold water, or break pieces off and place it in your mouth & allow your saliva to reconstitute it. It smelled like cat food, IIRC.
The interesting points:

- Giant millipedes are usually conjectured from fossilized tracks, but this is an actual three-foot section of the millipede (or its cast-off shell).

- This millipede undermines the theory that giant bugs existed in the past due to higher levels of atmospheric oxygen, because it's older than the peak oxygen level. (Based on the image at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event#The_earl... , it probably lived during stage 4 )

> "more than the value they add"

This sounds like a very biased perspective. Sales and marketing is not "non functional bloat" - it's actually far more important because if you don't have sales then you don't have a business.

There have been countless companies with brilliant engineers that no longer exist because they couldn't actually bring a product to market. Also managing people is incredibly difficult and easy to ignore if you've never done it.
I don't think it's a good comparison. There's literally one job opening for US President every 4 years. Ubisoft alone hires thousands of people per year.

I believe there are lots of people who have a strong desire to get into the game industry and will accept low pay, miserable work environments and uninteresting assignments to "get their foot in the door" because building games is a "dream job" to many young people going into software development. Little do they realize that there aren't very many people who get to single-handedly invent and code up the next big game hit. They're going to spend approximately 0% of their time creating kick-ass gameplay and awesome pixel shaders, and almost all of their time doing something mundane like being the expert on the "loading..." screen or figuring out why the menu animations glitch in this one weird scenario.
