I'm glad to see this article, every week I roll eyes at people on HN claiming that rust targeting wasm will replace javascript. I'm not against replacing js, it just won't be a language that's made on the complete opposite side on the spectrum of PLs.
> It's a logging library. You don't reconfigure logging, you just make another logger and use it.

Prior company had a shared plugin that let you turn up the logging for a given logger remotely for 30 minutes (it self reset). Extremely helpful for incident debugging.

Now we can have an interesting discussion about whether that capability is worth the complexity, but that’s a very different discussion than unilaterally declaring that other people’s use cases just don’t exist.

> Despite what people claim, the Java culture of loving complexity never did go away.

Do you develop in Java? Because I do, and your takes don’t match my daily experience one bit. My experience going from Spring 3 to Spring Boot 2 is in fact one of reducing complexity (goodbye XML bean configuration!) and to more “it just works” situations than before.
Perhaps you misunderstood my comments as advocacy. I was not, and would advocate for keeping the standardized tests. I was answering someone else's questions about the choice.

Depends on what you are working on?

Cross-request cache's naturally require synchronization. Although you could simply get away with thread-local storage.

In huge systems, there's always some other thread doing stuff that you may be using in a way that hides the fact that it is thread-safe.

I'm no expert, mind you.

I avoid concurrency problems if possible, but they are sometimes unavoidable. I touch shared resources that would OOM if made thread-local.

It's a thing which can be added to a real-world contract.

"Buyer agrees as an unalterable condition that:

if Buyer or Buyer's estate sells, gifts, donates, or transfers the Artifact in any way, Two Percent of the Current Market Value of the Artifact is due to the Artist or the Artist's Estate within 30 days of such sale, gift, donation, or transfer. The Current Market Value is the higher of the most recent price paid for the Artifact or an appraisal made by an independent, reasonable expert up to 1 Year prior to the sale, gift, donation or transfer."

Or the like, as adjusted for jurisdictions.

This is something the industry should address. It's ridiculous.
Calling anything "plain and simple" is an admission of knowing nothing about the subject. Nothing in the universe is plain and simple. Every single mutation, trait and feature of every single human being who has ever been born can be thought of as a handicap. Classically, even being perfect is considered one.

This is only a reflection of one's inability to play the damn game, instead adopting a victim mentality for pity points.

I'm not much into the whole cryptocurrency hoopla but I've always thought that a digital currency would be the solution to email spam.

Yes, it was moderately anti-diversity. But many people reacted as though it did say something like "women belong in the kitchen". Okay, it's been some time since I read the document, and there may have been parts that weren't phrased as tactfully as you - or I - would have liked. Well, here's my heretical thoughts:

So what if there are minor differences in brain development that have some statistical effect? It doesn't mean that all members of group X are somehow unsuited for a particular career - let alone deserving of less dignity as human beings - but it could explain why fewer of them choose to pursue it. Different people have different talents and inclinations, and membership in a particular group defined by biological factors could well be correlated. But that is irrelevant when it comes to individuals.

In Nazi Germany, one propaganda poster said "You are nothing, your People (Volk) is everything". So in their ideology, the individual by itself doesn't matter, only as part of the group.

But every one of us is different from each other, and membership in some Group (whether defined by ethnicity, gender or anything else) may be a small part of it, but it does not define who we are.

There does seem to me to be an orthodoxy today. One that claims that any underrepresentation of some group must be the result of systemic discrimination, and that it has to be corrected by whatever means necessary. More and more, it tends to see people not as individuals, but again as representing some particular group, with relations between those groups always defined in terms of oppression and victimhood.

This orthodoxy has become the most dominant force on the political "left", but strangely enough, it is supported by some of the largest corporations as well - corporations that also increasingly control our access to information. Are they really just trying to counteract historical injustices? Will the invisible hand of the market guide us into a better society, once the CEOs are no longer straight white cis-males? Or do they, like so many others, just want to be on top of the power dynamics that they frame every human relationship in?
No; see my second point definition. A thing is open source if, essentially, people are free to re-mix it; whether that be by modifying it upstream, or by forking it downstream. If there is no ability to make changes and then legally use your own changed version, then the thing is not open source in the way any developer would understand the term.
Memory safety is easy if you use GC (so don't have to define lifetimes) and mandatory bounds checking (unless compiler/JIT can convince itself that it is not necessary). Arguably these tradeoffs are the correct choice for a large majority of all applications — developers agree, looking at the popularity of Python, Java, .NET, Go, PHP, Perl, ...
The reoccurring question is "how do you map the real world and its laws back into this?"

If I've got a photograph that I took, how do I sell the right to print a copy of it? How do I make sure that only one copy of it gets printed?

Alternatively, if I sell a NFT, what does that mean in the world of copyrights and intellectual property that can be enforced by the courts?

Until that linkage from the real world to the blockchain is made, much of this "mining and selling NFTs" reminds me of my days of playing on MUDs and creating objects to populate a game with that have since lost every iota of value since that MUD does not exist anymore. Even then, people did tricks and exploits to get it so that they'd have more people in the room that the other clan did so that they gained control of the artifact (yes, we had 51% attacks back then too).

And there's my skepticism on this all. Until I can see the block chain data moving back into the real world, it's no more interesting than another news story on a game site about how many titans were made or destroyed in EvE. Sure, people spent real money to create in game assets - but it doesn't mean anything more outside of the game except as a headline to a journalist.

Let's see that venue that sells seats at concerts as NFTs that can be transfered as a competitor to Ticketmaster (I'm honestly interested in the permeant public ledger of everyone attends political rallies). Lets see the season tickets get managed by a NFT ( https://zonecoverage.com/2021/packers/the-insanity-of-the-pa... ).

Until then, all I see are tulips, beanie babies, and EvE titans. But at least the tulips grow in my garden, and my niece and nephew played with some old beanie babies and people trading EvE titans know exactly what they're trading.

My comment was in response the the “Joe Brandon” comment not the original posting
True enough (and thanks for being explicit). But “these inferior-race academics are leading our youth astray” is also anti-intellectual.

And it’s not like these fascists are only anti-semitic. They are also happy to whine incoherently about women, gays, blacks, Native Americans, Latin Americans, Chinese, Arabs, Indians, schoolteachers, public health experts, organized labor, ....

And for that matter happy to complain about the straight male WASP academics who have "sold out their people". Etc.

This is why I don’t understand why people insist on creating web frameworks in rust. It’s one thing to write a proxy server or load balancer in rust, it’s another thing to write your actual CRUD app in rust. And the community has bent over backwards to support this use case and expended enormous resources to that end.

I write embedded firmware, replacements for GNU coreutils, system services, and more in rust and I love it. But I write my web apps in C# and I wouldn’t change that.
You must be kidding or willfully ignoring the atrocities committed by Russia just in the last decade or two (occupying Crimea, Afghanistan, wars in Chechnya, Georgia and likely Kazakhstan sometime soon) or China (Uyghurs). All in the sole interest of continuing their highly oppressive, dictatorial regimes.

Oh no you don't.

I got burned at a food truck that only took cash. I gave them money, they produce the food a minute later and say I haven't paid. I have no receipt and it's too busy for witnesses.

How many places do you pay cash and they don't give receipts? Don't you think there is a positive correlation? Why might that be? Who does it benefit?
I recommend searching for stuff in google scholar, taking into account how many citations a paper has had by other papers. This isn't foolproof, but one can read a lot of interesting primary literature that way.

Also look for review articles that summarize the studies of multiple primary literature. Review articles are amazing in that they can sum up a lot of different ideas with citations to the primary work of others.

It's common to hear people refer to &T and &mut T not as "mutable" or "immutable" but "shared" versus "unique". What probably muddles this is that the `mut` keyword _also_ is used for declaring things mutable or immutable, just at the binding level rather than the type level. These are related due to the fact that you can't take a `&mut` reference to a binding that isn't declared as `mut`, which probably also muddles the water a bit.
Thanks for sharing, great to hear the solutions in this space.
I take notes in org-roam:

* for each book, article, etc I read I keep a singular literature note. These read very stream of consciousness.

* I create permanent notes based on my literature notes.

* I create Anki cards from both kinds of notes to commit crucial ideas to permanent memory.

All of this Ideally, often enough I just take literature notes and don’t put the time to create permanent notes.

This sounds outstanding, and probably quick to design / cheap to add to BOM. Will try to get it in an upcoming revision. A simple solution may be to trigger it if the temperature gets very hot - ie the sort of temp above what you'd use for normal cooking, but could happen if the skillet is left unattended. Might be able to come up with something more sophisticated too. Eg above a certain temp for an extended time.
> Black Lives Matter had focused on "Every killing by a cop gets investigated by the FBI" and "Fire the bottom 10% of cops",

BLM wasn't formed in response to police violence, so if it was to limit itself to a narrow tactical policy aim, those would have been odd choices.

Also, BLM has arguably had a broader and more substantial impact already than achieving either one of those narrow goals would have.

Double spending is a property of ownership, not creation.
I think the JVM would also be a good choice once Loom lands. I've seen that right now the Java architects are trying to unify the ALGOL flavored Java with ML in the sense of algebraic data structures, pattern matching, local type inference. As you said, OCaml does not have a big community, library ecosystem. It also does not have the 100B$ garbage collectors of the JVM, which are a deal breaker, at least for me.

DoorDash has been pretty good in my experience, but they gouge restaurants pretty bad. Minneapolis passed an ordinance preventing that, which DoorDash now just charges the person ordering calling it a "Regulatory Response Fee". Which is added to their existing delivery fee, service fee, etc. It's like over $10 to get anything delivered, before a tip.

I now check to see if the restaurant is on ChowNow, which is a subscription on the restaurant's end and is a bit more fair as far as I can tell. Usually it's quite a bit cheaper to order through them and my understanding is the restaurant is getting more of the money. Of course hilariously then the orders are "fulfilled with DoorDash".

Yeah, PLA, if you anneal it and use the right grade, has a strength to weight ratio the same as common Aluminum 3003 alloy, about 50MPa/(g/cc), which is also about the same as standard strength steel.

Yes, I think your characterization of Damore's document is deeply flawed, to an irresponsible degree, and I have no problem telling you that directly. The "insurmountable blockers" thing is particularly ridiculous, as I explain in another comment in this tree [1]. I do believe my comment is an appropriately nuanced critique of a flatly ridiculous position.

I'm glad that you like SSC though and I'm sure we could get along and discuss this rationally and fairly. I did not say that you didn't read the SSC article, only that you should look at it to appreciate the relevance to the current conversation.

All that said, I'm not going to hold back on how poorly I think you've understood what Damore said.

Male macaques also have very large canines, and massive jaw muscles to use them. A bite that severs a major blood vessel could end very badly.

They also move a lot more...three-dimensionally than you might imagine, making it hard to predict where they're going.
I'm sure you could come up with a hypothetical prosocial falsehood, like "aliens assassinated JFK for petty reasons, but they're very vain and will destroy the Earth if word gets out." If you become President and learn the real story, you damn sure better stick to the script about the grassy knoll!

But I think it's also possible to have pro-social taboos, particularly if they're attempts to correct for some indefensible (but maybe cognitively appealing or historically convenient) past error.

So for example, imagine a society that long practiced infanticide against the neurodivergent, and state-backed violence, disenfranchisement, and murder against the merely socially awkward. After intense and often violent social struggle, this society now affords them (us) formal equality, but big gaps in wealth and power remain, and a revanchist minority (with a terrorist fringe) openly wishes for a return of the old ways.

That society might develop strong taboos against "just asking questions" about whether shy people really had it so bad, or whether society should worry about whether they're treated fairly, or whether there isn't some innate biological difference that accounts for their relative lack of success. That would probably be a good thing!

There's some amount of epistemic deadweight loss you would happily accept to be extra guarded against backsliding on the core ethical commitments. You might even come out ahead epistemically, where there would otherwise be strong but subtle cultural biases, pressures of ideological convenience, and cognitive-scientific artifacts around in-groups and out-groups that make _false_ claims about the shy, awkward, or neurodivergent more appealing than the objective facts merit.
Sounds a lot like 'undefined behaviour', certainly unexpected at least.

It doesn't take long at all to figure out how fast it takes pans to get up to temperature when you start cooking on a new stove.

90% of stovetop cooking doesn't require this level of precision

Many cooking processes start with warming the pan up with something in it, and using the state of that material. Spices, onion, garlic are a few examples. Mirepoix is another example, cooked gently until you smell it, not based on temperature.

There are also a multitude of tricks to telling how ready a pan is - the water droplet test, putting your hand near the pan surface, etc.

It's a clever concept, but the sensor is going to get contaminated by smoke residue, grease, food splashes, etc pretty quickly. 3d printed cases are not appropriate for the kitchen because the rough, permeable surface is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold soon as it gets any food residue on it. The inset screen and buttons are also terrible for kitchen devices.

Also, it's not worth anything close to $100. OP's claim that it is somehow more accurate than handheld temperature guns is quite silly, given how widely they're used in industrial applications where accuracy can be quite important. OP used a lot of expensive components (nRF chips, OLED display etc) and a case manufactured using slow prototyping equipment. That doesn't translate into value for the purchaser.

Even if it does have a "more expensive sensor", which is certainly doesn't compared to any gun made by a reputable test equipment company - if you're not bothering with emissivity correction, the quality of the sensor is irrelevant.
Don't you want to know what the performance difference is?

Don't you have the opportunity to compare user time as-well-as wall clock time?
