As a beginner learning Go for the past 3 weeks, thanks for the last paragraph.

I was looking into a new language to learn outside of JS and Python. I wanted to learn a hot language. I did some digging between Rust and Go and found out that Go is more suitable for web backends, CLI apps, etc. while Rust was more of a contender to C/C++, as it was primarily was made to be used as a memory-safe, correct, strict language to write low level software.

I don't generally involve myself in the latter so I chose Go. I definitely want to learn Rust someday but is it worth it if I don't get into that low level of things?

What are Go's and Rust's target applications according to readers here?
I think part of the confusion is we don’t normally have units for rates of change.

So let’s create one: the “walk” is the speed a person can walk — 3mph.

Then I can say the store is “3 walk-hours away”, even if I normally drive the 9 miles with my car.

3 walk-hours = 3 hours @ 1 walk = 18 minutes @ 10 walk (or 30mph)

Batteries are rated in “watt-hours” for the same reason:

3wH = 3 hours @ 1 watt = 18 minutes @ 10 watt
This very good book talked about the conservative movement when it was much more innocent

https://www.amazon.com/Watch-Right-Conservative-Intellectual...

and pointed out that conservatives feel that people have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin, in their community, etc. The flip side of that is that they might come to think they have the right to expel people (minorities, immigrants) who make them feel uncomfortable.

That pandering to people in the form of "you are OK, your country is OK" is a powerful tool if you want to win people over, seduce people, get their vote, etc.
Matlab Simulink, probably. It's actually pretty neat, but I haven't touched it in over a decade now. It was useful for our embedded systems to have an executable model versus a prose specification document, and then it did get used to feed into the testing routine. Since the models were simpler to understand, confidence in them was higher. Differences in test results could be readily determined to be problems in the system and not the model after a quick analysis of the model ("Yep, that's supposed to be X, not Y" or "Nope, Y is correct, that's an error in the model here.").
The problem comes when you dedicate yourself to just one of those, and discover that you have enough talent to enjoy it but not enough to live off of it. You then would have spent a significant amount of time to learn that your chosen path won't work.

I'd recommend doing them all, in small slices, with specific goals to determine if you have the talent to take it farther. Knock hobbies off the list if you don't hit your goals, and whittle it down to the one where you truly have the most talent.

Redistributing wealth and laundering taxpayer money is standard politics, not radical at all. The point is making is that she’s not a radical leftist. Insofar as you consider the GND to be redistributive it’s not doing so in a way that actual radical leftists would support. So how is she a radical leftist then?
We dont know yet do we? It'll take decades for the impacts to really be understood & felt. It feels good, feels nice to try to be taming this big gnarly wild world, but we're imposing consyraints, locking out outside possibility, and we might be cutting off better more open & more vibrant futures. We'll never know, and we'll have less & less room to experiment & find out.

Imo states should back projects to help users self-host, or federalize their communities. Better social media is more being possible, not just ever locking down & constraining the big platforms & everyone on them. Haugen seems to have no taste for anything but bigger tech on and on.
Not to mention the costs.

Medical resources are limited, and in a country where we are chronically under treating people, it makes no sense to torture someone with an ECMO for a month, only for them to 'recover' to the state mentioned above.

That money/medical effort could have been used to save/significantly improve the lives of dozens of people, instead of prolonging the death of one.

It all comes out of an insurance pool, it's not like people are bearing ECMO costs out-of-pocket. It all comes out of the same labour pool, when you've got your entire medical staff put on hopeless cases, there are people who could be helped who are being denied treatment.
Getting this right should be table stakes.

Every non-Rustacean who has suddenly had Rust forced into their workflows asks for this to be solved, specifically, and the Rust community keeps digging its heels in.

I don't mean to be curt, but that's absurd. The whole purpose of having 3 separate branches of government is that they're not above the law. The legislature (or Congress, or the President) is constrained by the judiciary
Yes. One of the fundamental principles of British democracy is that no parliament may bind its successors; any law they make can be overturned by a future parliament. Generally the main consequence of this is that companies aren't willing to sign contracts that are likely to be overturned by their successors; as a general principle the government will pay for work already done, but penalty clauses designed to force the next government to keep the scheme going (which I think Labour tried with ID cards) don't fare so well.

This is kind of necessary in a functioning democracy (as opposed to a corpocracy with democratic trappings); if any government can just give sweetheart deals transferring power to corporations that voters can't do anything about by exercising their vote, in what sense are the voters really in charge at all?

Yeah, as someone who's gay and left-wing but equally irritated by the 'virtue signalling' stuff (my ideology is basically r/stupidpol), I don't find the Rust community too bad.

(FWIW, I appreciate your open-mindedness. I think that's the main thing I find objectionable on (parts of) both sides of the aisle: an inability to regard those who disagree as fundamentally well-intentioned human beings who happen to hold different beliefs.)

Some friction was removed; some friction was added. The 'ease' of finding a partner on apps creates an illusion of 'plenty fish in the sea', but 10s still go after 10s and, apparently, so do 6,7,8, and 9s creating a very interesting vacuum.

As far as skillset goes, I would argue that it is only part of the story. Knowing the right person, is the key. You want to talk to people. You want to showcase what you can do. Stable job is doable then, but I don't know if it is easy.

And that does not even touch the simple fact that not everyone is built for that.

From what I read, if the district is dissolved, the counties would need to assume the bonds. But, currently, the district is taxing the property to pay for the bonds at a rate that's much higher than is allowed for the counties to levy. If the counties assume the bonds, they'd need to increase taxes across the board to pay for them.

If it's really the policy of the Florida government to retaliate against Disney by relieving them of their debt service; how does that dissuade Disney? How do the citizens of the two counties feel? Is it appropriate for governments to retaliate against companies for opposition or support of a law?
I'm still a curmudgeon when it comes to "e-mail".

It's electronic mail — just like e-book, e-signature, e-reader, e-ticket, e-file, e-learning, e-commerce, e-check, and so on. The lowercase "e-" prefix is broadly used and has a particular meaning.

The hyphen makes it read better, just like A-bomb, I-beam, O-ring, S-curve, U-turn, V-neck, or X-ray. Without the hyphen it looks like the stress should lean on the second syllable ("em-AIL"); "email" looks as awkward to read as "abomb", "ibeam", or "oring".

I know the ship has long since sailed on "e-mail". But to put it simply, it feels better to me.
Replace potato with any old piece of handy info, like home or car maintenance. A lot of younger Americans (myself included) have little practical knowledge, so everything needing knowhow in this generation must be outsourced.

Compare this to my grandfather's generation, he knew how to frame houses, plumb, electric work, auto work, gardening, etc, and he was not alone. If he needed something done you'd get four of your buddies and work on the project for the weekend instead of hiring a contractor. In my dads generation fewer people knew these things but still, a lot of people learned from their dads. In my generation otoh it seems like no one knows any of this, and therefore any issue around the home or the car becomes this catastrophic repair since you have to hire a specialist who charges hundreds an hour because you haven't learned very much that's actually practically useful for your life.
Yes, it's progressive if you just consider the lower and middle class. Actually I think if you get what you put into it, it's neither progressive or regressive. If you include the upper earners, it's regressive. It's as if they capped income tax to your first $100K. Great for one group of people, not for the majority other.
I have an extremely hard time understanding how these surveys work, and what question people think they are answering. The headline number here doesn't seem unreasonable at first glance, but what does it actually mean?

From the article: "About 71% of 18-to 24-year-olds said that they would consider looking for another job if their company insisted on them returning to the office full-time, compared to 61% of 35- to 44-year-olds and 56% of 45- to 54-year-olds, the report found."

What was the actual question asked, though? Was it "Would you consider looking for another job if your company insisted on you returning to the office full-time?", word for word?

How can any reasonable person answer "no" to a question in the form "Would you consider looking for another job if <condition>?" Given that so many people look for other jobs in any given period (say a decade), one has to assume that even more people (nearly all?) consider looking for another job in the same period. So without period restrictions in the question, why does <condition> matter to the answerer's answer? "Would you consider looking for another job? Yes, just like I would consider staying, consider what I'm having for dinner, etc."

I know this seems nitpicky, especially in the context of a survey that doesn't /seem/ to say anything surprising, but I really don't understand if I'm just overthinking things, if the questions that are being asked in these surveys but not disclosed are actually much better phrased than it appears, or if people are often answering a very different question than what the survey thinks it's asking.
Gmail's AI spam detection is a joke. Most of the spam I receive on my fastmail is from @gmail.com accounts. Most are a naked list of links offering "cheap guest post services", and it's been going for a year. The dumbest Bayesian filter would catch that.
No, it isn't. There is a package but it just symlinks to rustc & cargo. You still need to have run the installation manually.

>The point is twofold. To send a message that dissent from the business community will not be tolerated. And, to keep stoking the fires of the culture wars.

I think the purpose was a lot more narrow: to position Ron DeSantis for the 2024 Republican Presidential primaries. Relatively small numbers of Republicans vote in the primaries, and they tend to be the angrier, more extreme wing. Donald Trump was nominated in 2016 despite a majority of Republican primary voters actually voting for other candidates. Once he was nominated, however, most Republicans fell into step and supported him.
Though that may be, it is in fact not how the word is used, and likely once the concept was pressed to the fore and came into relevance beyond the pale of the esoteric, never more was used with that definition in mind.
is that why you flagged this lol
Teaching happens in every interaction a child has in life.

If the purpose of schools is to undo the instillment of parents' values (or lack of them), we should at least be honest about it. That's the assumption behind most debates of this type.

If the purpose of schools is to teach specialized skills that most parents don't have, then we should cut the crap so that kids can learn them.

If the purpose of schools is to babysit kids so that their parents can be used as human batteries for Nestle and Kroger, then God help us.
Ok. But at what cost? Not financial cost per se, but along the lines of opportunity cost. These efforts, while very impressive, consume a significant (read: disproportionate) amount of resources. Resources that could possibly be deployed elsewhere.

I'm not suggesting it was foolish to do this. But there is broader context for "do no harm".

Thanks for working with Jespen. Being willing to subject your product to their testing is a huge boon for Redpanda's credibility.

I have two questions:

1. How surprising were the bugs that Jepsen found?

2. Besides the obvious regression tests for bugs that Jepsen found, how did this report change Redpanda's overall approach to testing? Were there classes of tests missing?
As an environmental engineer that deals with the interface between the public and policy makers, I think I'm inclined to agree with you. The public IS dumb, but every time they try to dumb down the principles they regulate on, it always comes at the detriment of the environment and the 'little guy'. It's almost always better to delegate policy to smart qualified people with correctly aligned interests. Getting that latter part right is hard, but that is the job of a competent public official.
Can I just say that I appreciate the transparency about your numbers here! As a bootstrapped SAAS builder here, this gives me perspective
> Under Spotify's current scheme, top 20 artists receive ($1,000 * (999/1000)) = $999 dollars. Jazz artists get $1.

There are 1000 plays per day (total) and 990 of those are pop—not 999. Pop artists receive ($1,000 * (990/1000)) = $990 dollars. Jazz artists get ($1,000 * (10/1000)) = $10. Which is the same as your proposed scheme, because everyone listens to the same amount of music.

If the jazz fan listened to five songs per day, all else being equal, then the current scheme would allocate ($1,000 * (5/995)) = $5.025 to jazz and ($1,000 * (990/995)) = $994.975 to pop. Which is clearly a bit unfair since the service is being paid $10 for the jazz and $990 for the pop.

However, if the jazz fan listened to 20 songs per day then under the current scheme jazz would get ($1,000 * (20/1010)) = $19.80 and pop would get ($1,000 * (990/1010)) = $980.20. Which is also a bit unfair, but in the other direction. The current scheme isn't necessarily biased against small artists, but rather against subscribers who don't listen to much music, and the artists they prefer.
It's a nice website and certainly an improvement from the older one. I just hope that this isn't the only area where OCaml improves. I'd love a consistent documentation source a la docs.rs, better support for language servers, and maybe an explicit effort to build out a good package ecosystem.

I really want to like OCaml but the usability story is so far behind Rust. The language is stunning but the ecosystem needs a lot of work.
I love your picture of the future. What are you doing to get one step closer to it? How can others help you?
> I'm just wondering why the author keeps making those articles about strongly disliking Go, ok we get it your favorite language is Rust, you don't like Go. Why does the author does not move on, exactly?

He made a post two years ago in 2020 that was attacked by zealots yesterday when it hit the front page of hn and a post today that was a reply to that. It would be like if you were to post an opinion about perl two years ago, respond to people who attack you because they love perl more than their own children, and then be dismissively accused of crusading against perl when in reality all you did was post a response to people attacking you based on your two year old post. It's insane to say that two posts written two years apart is a crusade; I imagine most people who flagged the article and downvote its defenders simply can't accept legitimate criticisms of something they love too much to admit it has any flaws. So, I'll ask you your own question: "Why don't you move on, exactly?"

> Honestly, if I ever link anything that will be read after a long time, I only use archive.org/ links, and I cross my finger, that the snapshot will still exist in X years.

I don't understand this practice. It seems more proper to use the original URL and let readers themselves use archive.org when the link becomes dead.

Using the nonprofit's archives when you don't need them seems abusive. On average it should be simpler for the original server to render the page than for the wayback machine to fetch a particular snapshot. What's worse is that I don't think you're the only one needlessly using their archive like this, and wonder if, as a collective, uses like this significantly increase their operational costs.
I can't help but see the irony that DeSantis is being described as an autocrat for trying to break up what is effectively a autonomous state that Walt Disney created to bypass most laws and oversight.

> Walt Disney knew that his plans for the land would be easier to carry out with more independence. Among his ideas for his Florida project was his proposed EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, which was to be a futuristic planned city (and which was also known as Progress City). He envisioned a real working city with both commercial and residential areas, but one that also continued to showcase and test new ideas and concepts for urban living. Therefore, the Disney company petitioned the Florida State Legislature for the creation of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which would have almost total autonomy within its borders. Residents of Orange and Osceola counties did not need to pay any taxes unless they were residents of the district. Services like land use regulation and planning, building codes, surface water control, drainage, waste treatment, utilities, roads, bridges, fire protection, emergency medical services, and environmental services were overseen by the district. The only areas where the district had to submit to the county and state would be property taxes and elevator inspections.

I am hard pressed to think of anything more anti-competitive and anti-trust than Reedy Creek.

Seconded, except maybe one I could build that could drop a payload? I was thinking of using a drone to drop off a raspberry pi of whatever model. Maybe one that had a few sensors and a solar/battery combo. It would be a cool way to install a wireless security system.
I agree I don't think it's that complicated but when you have a regulatory industry surrounding complex science with politicians weighing in it can get very tricky. I refer to climate deniers/paid advocacy groups and mud rakers who constantly try and trip up progress by trying to bring sow doubt through poking holes in the argument or nitpicking small issues.

> Journalism was a tawdry, un-respectable business since its conception, but experienced a brief period of valor around the mid-twentieth century

And it wasn't just journalism. After WWII many veterans took advantage of the free education offered by the GI Bill. That gave us a lot of highly educated people (with no student loan debt to worry about!) who then went on to use that education to improve things. Couple this with the recent memory of fascism in Europe and The Civil Rights movement and we had sort of a golden era. We were able to live off the fumes of that era until right around the end of the 20th century. You could say that in a sense things are just returning back to a more normal state of affairs and this seems painful because many of us lived through an era that was unusually good.
For those reading this, the above is probably a typo. It's more like 20$, but still ridiculously cheap and well worth it. Well worth the money though.

The police here respond to calls after an hour if they even come at all, and that's after they refer you to a different branch because you're not in their area. Bit exaggerated but living here you quickly learn as a middle class person that the only time to call the police is for insurance purposes.

SA is a great example of how private services can function decently. Not perfect.

Private medical Healthcare.
Private insurance and retirement plans.
Private ambulance services.
