Having before now helped replace a (very naive, this is -not- an attack on golang) 8 core golang bulk pg data loader with a single threaded perl script and got about a 6x performance improvement, "high level languages wielded by somebody who understands the limitations of the VM" are really much more capable than a lot of people think.

Of course, "lower level languages wielded by somebody equally proficient with that language" will still be way more performant, but sometimes velocity of development wins out over straight line performance when the dynamic code is fast enough for the uses cases you're currently supporting.

Wanting to rewrite components in rust is both completely logical and also (and I mean this as a compliment) a Nice Problem To Have.
I'm sorrowful that such a significant percentage of this post was a preemptive apology for not using Rust.
Fair enough, it all depends on how much a person or group of people are willing to pay for one tree or many fractions of a tree.

A typical old growth cedar in my neck of the woods currently runs on average somewhere between 5000 CAD AND 20000 CAD before milling, after going through a saw mill that number typically doubles or triples depending on the quality or grade of lumber produced.

I would imagine there would be a cost of around 2000 CAD to actually register the ownership within the current system so the amount 200 USD worth of gas to mint that to the block chain is really insignificant.

There would be several other issues such as those pesky trees that fall down and the noise they make, fires, animal squatters etc. not to mention the local governments would eventually want their grubby little hands greased in some way or another if actual commerce was being conducted using a so called crown resource (Yes in Canada the Crown gets their cut even from private land).

Still, that is but one simple idea for what is a new market being built up at this moment in time that we are all fortunate enough to be living through.

Synthesizing birdsong via direct digital synthesis
It comes down to how a language construct allocates freedom to the programmer vs the optimizing compiler.

* Rust references are strict. &mut references guarantee that nothing else can access the backing memory while the &mut is valid. & references guarantee that nothing (including &mut by the rule above, or unsafe code with raw pointers by programmer's pinkie swear) can change the backing memory while the &mut is valid. This allows the compiler to perform more optimizations behind the scene, like assuming a value loaded into a register is still up-to-date, even if there's been a function call between.

* Rust raw pointers make no guarantees (but require the programmer to type "unsafe" to use).

* C pointers are IMHO weirder. iirc, two pointers of the same type may alias (unless you use the rare "restrict" keyword), but two pointers of different type can't, unless one is "char*".

* AFAIK, Go pointers are at least as permissive as C's. They might not make any aliasing guarantees at all.

* Other languages vary...

100%. Boundaries are extremely important, and if you're a service onto which 7 other teams rely on, there's an issue with your teams and the way you've setup your services. Bounded contexts!
They are already very common. Go look at the California water board's statewide map of underground pollution. Essentially every site that ever was or is a gas station or dry cleaner has restrictions from ever becoming a home, school, day-care, or other similar uses. Anywhere you see an empty lot on a busy corner in a California city you can make a fair guess that it was a gas station.
They back into those factors by adjusting for both time and place, at the relevant thresholds. The "Human Development Index" correlates pretty strongly with income, such that you can say: at this (adjusted) income thresholds, people can afford X,Y,Z and the next threshold, they can also afford a,b,c. A more complex measure is the Multidimensional Poverty Index, which tracks Health+Eduction+StandardOfLiving, but even then the standard of living pretty closely aligns with income measures.
They can't be applied to any new project. I don't know why you're ignoring this, even with the clarification using the well-understood concept of free vs bound variables. "These other arguments" are a direct response to the question you posed <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30068014>.

My position is something that I know you already agree with. You can't write, "Surely anything Gemini does or doesn't isn't as damaging as status quo" and think that my argument is unsound—because it's the same concept.

> If you concentrate your energies there

The last thing that we need is _more_ energy being lost to the Gemini sinkhole. That's the whole point!
> He didn't say anything about ongoing negotiations led by the EU. Could be (and probably is) other parties.

Seems naive to think the EU is not included.

> the Russians are trying to split the EU

They already are. A glance at F24 vs. DW will tell you that. With Germany importing half of their gas from Russia (or more now?) and France barely importing any, it's really not surprising. And there will be all kinds of small differences like that in relation to Russia.

> Lavrov "leaked" their proposals

Link?

> Now the Russians are talking mostly to the US, but also not really talking to anyone, only repeating their tropes.

That would makes sense, as US leads NATO and that's their concern, but also no they've been talking to Germany and will be with France on Friday. But realistically they're all talking all the time. That's how these things work. Anything else is just fantasy.
SWC (by the same author as this tentative tsc port) is a part of more and more people's typescript toolchain, and is written in Rust. Having all your ecosystem in a single language feels nice, but pragmatically different tools might be better in different languages.
Yeah so uh, Sony is super weird.
There is the production side of Sony, and the developer side of Sony. They barely coexist, they are two completely different minds.
Think I'm exaggerating? They have two bootloaders, one for developers, one for production. (The led changes color). Once you have unlocked your bootloader, you have to download and use a different flash tool to flash Sony's ROM. They are not available on the same page.
That being said:
- the "production" side is a meh OEM. Usually only one major upgrade, annoying lock-ins
- the developer side is amazing. They make contribution to mainline Linux, they provide AOSP build trees, they upgrade major Linux kernel versions, their AOSP build tree is much more open source than Google's, they provide very clean fixes for stupid Qualcomm issues that is not fixed even on Pixels, they provide more android major upgrades

So yeah, weird.
I believe their AOSP side is funded by some governments who want the most maintainable and auditable Android on their devices

This is based on making pottery as a hobby: Most craft potters working in earthenware use lead glazes as the colour response is more appealing than what can easilly be achieved with other low-temperature fluxes. It's also more resistant to crazing, and for earthenware to be functional it's important the glaze doesn't craze significantly as earthenware is slightly porous- if the glaze is crazed then your coffee cup will leave a damp mark on the desk.

(Lead is not used on stoneware or porcelain.)
Turbo isn't websockets. There's a specific Rails integration whereby you can broadcast a Turbo Stream over websockets, but that's 100% optional. You can use Turbo Streams (and Frames and Drive) over pure request/response HTTP lifecycles. I use Turbo on static sites!

It goes a little bit deeper than this as well! Red is typically associated with fortune, luck, or prosperity for many Asian countries that were historically Chinese culture such as Japan and Korea. Think about any Lunar New Year celebration and the handing out of lucky money in red envelopes. The lines used in financial charts are actually are further classified as the "Yin Line" and "Yang Line", which you may know from the Taoist philosophy of Yin (literally "dark") and Yang (literally "light").

So in this cultural sphere of influence, you'll most often see the positive lines as red (good/fortune/yang), and the negative line as either green, black, or blue (dark/bad/yin). [1][2]

By that definition we already live in a post-scarcity economy. Food & housing are extremely plentiful in the US. We consume over 3600 calories per person, and waste a similar amount. Livestock eat over 10,000 calories per person. We have over 800 square feet of living space per capita.

> Microservices allow your team to have control over the full stack they require to deliver a feature.

This is honestly pretty rare, at least in my experience. What I have seen is that organizations will buy in to the microservices hype, then dictate to their teams what stacks, deployment paradigms, etc. (sometimes even down to the sprint cadence) are acceptable.
People are used to math infix operators and can use them efficiently.

But working with infix operators in other contexts would be a complete nightmare. Limiting what a given expression can "bind" to, what it can form a large expression with, is a way to limit the processing needed to understand a given piece of code. Being able to say one thing a hundred different ways isn't good if the read has to search for a hundred different maybe-meanings a given string might have.

I think your question assumes that poverty is somehow unnatural, as though the human animal is born with plenty and must be driven to poverty by some external force.

so your argument against consortiums (bluetooth) is that they work?… but at a higher cost (lengthy specs)?

the historic alternative is a slightly lower cost (most of BT complexity is of the plumbing type, not the PhD type) and much more significant market risks (due to incompatibilities: smaller addressable market and less ability to pivot from one market to a different one).

from the engineer PoV, i agree with you: i’d love for these specifications to be simplified. from the business PoV, i don’t think it actually matters that much.

I think there is a scarcity issue here and if that scarcity issue was resolved you would see a blooming of scientific discoveries/applications.

That's basically true, but I don't think anyone has a good general solution to unclear requirements besides constant communication and fine-tuning, a la XP/Agile.

Apologies that I can't link directly to the "--init" flag but docker actually does have an init, it's just (err, was?) compiled into the binary: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#op...

My recollection is that it either adopted, or inspired, https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init#readme which folks used to put into their Dockerfile as the init system back in the day

I'll ditto this. Around Christmas I finally figured out that I had hemorrhoids. One of the adjustments immediately made was to order 2 bidets from hellotushy.com and install them in both bathrooms. Unbelievable relief. First time I used it I must have sat there for 5 minutes. The hemorrhoid problem is now mostly gone, and TP usage in the household is down dramatically. Well-worth the $120/toilet, even if I do have to run the sink hot water for a bit to warm up the lines first.

Due to some turnover I ended up working mostly independently for about a year at a previous job. Nobody cared one bit about the code I wrote, just the end result. Overall it was great! I was surprised at how productive I was in that time. I'm not a partiularly amazing developer, but I managed to ship a ton of work that held up quite well.

Obviously there are limits to this approach and it wouldn't work well for solving really difficult problems, but really, 99% of day-to-day development work isn't that special. A motivated and conscientious developer with average skills can get an awful lot done with minimal distractions.

This really isn't the case. There is a very heavily regulation of industry in many developing countries and it impedes their growth. Often it even provides the basis for corruption. You could argue the that the nordic countries have smarter, or better regulation, but in many ways they operate freer markets than much of the world.

Agreed, I have generally avoided systemd as I don't feel it's fully baked yet (not trying to start a flame war, that is just my experience and I'm sure it's fine for others). Still, I need to really learn it both for when I am ready to use it daily and just to have it in my wheelhouse for supporting others. A guide like this seems like a great way to go "hands on" without spinning up an instance and fumbling through it blindly.

Hopefully this guide will stay up to date given the "move fast, break things, wontfix" approach the systemd authors currently have with the project.
