That makes me wonder how I never heard of the integration before. This is going to take away so much pain from my workflow when working on Servers. I’ll take a look at it. Thanks for the explanation!
"Impossible" might be a bit strong of a word, but recent attempts have proven that the initial estimates of time and cost are not very useful for evaluating actual time and cost of completion. And completion is not a guaranteed outcome, as ballooning costs, corruption, or market conditions can cause failure and loss of billions of dollars of labor and materials.

* VC Summer in South Carolina: failed due to corruption and construction/design incompetence

* Vogtle in Georgia: might finish, but every few months gets delayed more for a grab bag list of reasons. See, for example:

https://thecurrentga.org/2021/12/03/construction-quality-iss...

* Flamanville in France: who knows what went wrong here

* Hinkley Point C in the UK: not looking great

* Olkiluoto in Finland: it finally finished and works! Yay!

https://thecurrentga.org/2021/12/03/construction-quality-iss...

Even in France's first generation of building, of the same design, costs rose as they built more. Nuclear just can not seem to find its groove of being reliably constructed or planned.

Yep. Or more accurately, Ted said that at least everyone in the "value chain" made more money if people listened to more music.

Unlike Spotify, where the ideal customer subscribes but never listens.
They didn't start with a revolution either, and they moved away from much of that socialism stuff towards a strong market economy with lots of social services within a few decades of moving towards socialist ideas.
Some personal picks of the DOS era: Basstour (somehow great fishing sim), BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception (RPG way before its time), Budokan (AFAIK still the most varied such game produced), Civilization (the original - "6,000 years of history in 640K"), Colonization, Descent (first free 3D action), Hero Quest series, Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries (best early sim), Pyro II (hilarious, original and addictive), Sid Meier's Pirates! (still play this!), Railroad Tycoon, Stargoose, Stunts (unmatched), The Land (huge indy dev effort), Transport Tycoon Deluxe (unmatched), Warlords II (hotseat). Of course, Dune 2 for its legacy popularizing the RTS genre from an obscure Amiga start, and Warcraft 1 & 2 thereafter, but they're borderline unplayable now.
All of those processes are like that. Some of them more tedious (law bar, medical bar) some less (engineering bar in some regions). Some of them are even worse ("personality" and "IQ" tests in marketing and other people's jobs).

The IT one is at least learnable in a couple of months, which is much less time than I've had to put into many of my college exams.
1. Since it's an external web site with a little bit of tech behind it that presumably others are using, it might seem less desperate or strange than the post you suggest.

2. The potential crushee can do the check without notifying you they're doing so. They might be too embarrassed/intimidated to actually tell you they're interested in whether you have a crush.
Microsoft has been caught disregarding consent and engaging in dark patterns... too many times to list here. There's also no way to keep on top of what tens of thousands of employees are doing, or what a present or future CEO might decide.

These blanket statements are therefore not compelling.
was it on flat roads or more challenging terrain?

it was apparent that it was a very simple system that did not attempt to do any estimation beyond what was immediately visible to the sensors. so if there was a change in the pitch of the road, it would immediately react as the sensors became occluded and then regained their field of view.

maybe in situations that challenging, it should complain and force manual control.

rav4 primes look like awesome vehicles by the way... if i were going to get a late model green vehicle, it would definitely be on my shortlist.
the response itself was shitty - there is a non-shitty way to make the decision that was made. People effectively said "hey this is breaking some workflows and I don't have the bandwidth personally to do the work to correct this, can we revert this and figure out a better way?" and the maintainers basically said "bummer dude, maybe you should make time to port extensions."

If my use of curse words is your problem with my comment, fine. But I don't think it's unfair of me to call out a bad decision and a bad handling of the response to that decision when we're talking about a tool that people will do their daily work in.

Love these kind of ideas. Reminded me of once I was trying to allow access to a file with a password. It wasn't any super-secret file or anything, just a CV of a friend hosted on a static file server and she wanted it to "protect" it with a simple password (just didn't want it to be directly available to anyone viewing the homepage. No mission-critical secret of any kind otherwise).

Having no real/strict security requirements and being lazy to go server-side scripting, I simply hashed the password. Noted the hash. Saved the file into a folder like "/${hash}/Proper Name.pdf". Hashed the hash again and embedded it into client-side JS. Wrote a JS function that took the input, hashed it twice, and if second hash of the entered password matches that, download the file "/${first hash}/Proper Name.pdf".

It worked like a charm, but please note that this is prone to attacks so if anyone reading this thinks it's a good idea to implement actual security, DO NOT. It is not. Fun to play with though.
Yeah they should be following further back. There's no excuse to rear-ending somebody. If your car can't stop as fast as a heavy-ass Tesla, you need to be following further back. If you hit someone brake checking you, you were following too close.

You never know when someone might need to do a full, 100% brake slam to avoid something.
no but you have to call people them and her and him and if you get it wrong good luck.
Uber just needs to trick Swiss citizens into amending the constitution to treat them as not an employer like they did in California.

'Uncle Milton Industries has been selling ant farms to children since 1956. Some years ago, I remember opening one up with a friend. There were no actual ants included in the box. Instead, there was a card that you filled in with your address, and the company would mail you some ants. My friend expressed surprise that you could get ants sent to you in the mail.

I replied: “What’s really interesting is that these people will send a tube of live ants to anyone you tell them to.”'
3 issues you listed with Go are actually about the same thing (the lack of sum types):

- Go has nil where Rust has Option.

- Go has weird not-quite-tuple returns & if err != nil where Rust has Result.

- Go has no real enum concept, where rust has its powerful enums and matching constructs.

And the point on generics coming late is unfair. All programming languages got major features introduced late (for example async/await in Rust).

But I admit I'd love sum types, a less verbose error handling (but to be honest I'm not sure exactly how), and that I missed generics.
I don't anymore. I have a monthly overall budget (a single number) I try to stick to. It encompasses all expenses except for rent. So this one number includes groceries as well as discretionary spending.

If I go a little over it's no big deal, but I try to stick to it. I pay myself a pretty low salary. The rest stays in my company, some as a buffer and some gets invested.

I find this solution works best for me. I'm constantly working on suppressing my impulse buying habits, but YNAB or other systems didn't really eradicate them and having this single number to aim for each month is just less stressful. I have no debt and OK savings, so I guess it's working.
not sure how this is anti consumer? Shimano hasn't pushed these for years (decades?) and they're allowed to stop manufacturing parts eventually.
I don't disagree, but that's not quite the problem space I am curious about.

My thesis is that as a society we've accepted that humans make mistakes and will kill people on the road. I suspect that society will be much less willing to accept that sort of thinking when it's an AI-driven vehicle making the mistakes, no matter how much better at driving it is. I suspect we will always want, or need someone (as opposed to some
thing) to blame when the worst happens.
> Just cut the GHG where you can.

I 100% agree and wasn't trying to discourage anyone from cutting where they can. I just think it's important to actually cut where you can and not make insignificant changes, pat yourself on the back, and call it a day.

Imagine you had an employee that spent 7 hours a day browsing reddit 15 minutes a day smoking cigarettes and 45 minutes actually working. You approach them about wasting time and they respond "You know what boss, you're right. I'll cut out my smoke breaks." You'd be correct to tell them the 15 minutes of smoke breaks aren't the problem, the 7 hours on reddit is the problem!

In the context of my above comment, if you really wanted to cut your CO2 production, you'd stop eating beef. Producing a pound of beans results in around 1 pound of CO2 emissions. When people start eating those instead of steak to cut their emissions, I'll start taking their desire to get rid of gas stoves seriously. Meanwhile, the world is warming up.
I think the biggest factors for real contractors are:

- leverage and autonomy in all aspects

- multiple, changing sources of income

- a personal brand to some degree

The last point doesn't have to be a full marketing budget, it can be very informal.

For bikes, sure; for computers when you can move them between bikes I don't see it. Maybe they mean in their household one per person?
How long does it take to generate these pics? No human is that good at producing art of this quality.

There may still be a few anatomic mistakes, but many artists also make some. The picture quality, lightning, and the way it capture the graphic essence and mood of these movies is just amazing and beyond what even the most talented artists can pull out in the same time frame.
And is it opt in?

Perhaps I'm reading the summary of numbers wrong, but it looks like at 1.5-2.5 cups a day, the hazard ratio was 0.69 for sweetened coffee drinkers vs 0.71 for unsweetened coffee at 2.5-4.5 cups a day.

With confidence intervals on those, about the same even if the number of cups is different, but odd that 1.5-2.5 cups per day unsweetened comes out worse than sweetened.
It's even a bit sadder than that. It would eat into profits mostly in the short term. In the longer term, we would get more efficient with our transportation and manufacturing practices: a whole host of decisions are made which assume certain energy prices--after a decade of gradually rising carbon prices, these assumptions would get revised and the whole system would be recalibrated to be more carbon efficient, thus keeping prices low for the consumer while also maintaining profitability for corporations. Moreover, we can start with an arbitrarily low carbon price so we don't break the economy (specifically the aforementioned profits), but the important bit is that we actually have a dial to turn to save the environment (which is presumably what investors fear).

There is no way this would work without approving the NFT contract to spend your tokens.

Realistically, lots of people would do this because the complexity of blockchain tech is beyond most peoples' grasp, but there is a reasonable failsafe at least.

I am the author of the original post. Unfortunately, before publishing anything, it's very hard to predict all possible misinterpretations of my text.

> I really wish the author clearly pointed out that they write the article from a point of view of a library author trying to come up with generic and flexible APIs.

Most commentators viewed the text from the perspective of application programming. You are more close to true: I am a library author and the dispatcher example was concerned with the problems of library maintainers. However, I wrote this post mainly to talk about _language design_.

Rust is ill-suited for generic `async` programming, because when you enter `async`, you observe that many other language features suddenly break down: references, closures, type system, to name a few. From the perspective of language design, this manifests a failure to design an orthogonal language. I wanted to convey this observation in my post.

Additionally, how we write libraries in a given language reveals its true potential, since libraries have to deal with the most generic code, and therefore require more expressive features from language designers. This also affects mundane application programmers though: the more elegant libraries you have, the more easily you can write your application code. Example: language's inexpressiveness doesn't allow you to have a generic runtime interface and change Tokio to something else in one line of code, as we do for loggers.

One gentleman also outlined a more comprehensive list of the `async` failures in Rust [1]. This pretty much sums up all the bad things you have to deal with in generic `async` code.

UPD: I added an explanation section [2] to my original post. Thank you for your feedback, this is very appreciated.

I could probably still today answer 2/3 of the Wing Commander questions without looking them up. It was 100% back when I played the game daily.

Example: Maniac's age is 23.
The article also says "In reality, all of us are at least a little narcissistic. ", so make of that what you will. Me personally, I'm always cautious when research people claim to have found "truths" about human psychology - which is temporal, transient, highly mutable, highly context-dependent and extremely difficult to generalize.

Coming from a tech background which promotes algorithmic thinking, I have been more than humbled when trying to apply such conceptual frameworks to biological systems at my current job.
The jerks will identify flaws in your protocol and exploit them to get rid of their rivals. This is an area where only intelligent human judgment can work (and even that doesn't always work). Any type of strict protocol that could be modeled and simulated in software is doomed to failure and a waste of time.

Telemetry is also not the only solution to the problem of improving a product. For something like a code editor, I cannot imagine what they can learn from telemetry that the cannot also learn from methods like user interviews.
Can an argument be rational if it is not founded on evidence? I don't think it is rational to adopt beliefs as a grounds for reasoning without any reasons for adopting them.
Maybe a stupid question, but why aren't pipes simply implemented as a contiguous buffer in a shared memory segment + a futex?
>[1] I know that this is a simplification.

I don't think it's biased against Go. The an `Arc` (or garbage collector) is the correct way to model lifetimes for complex programs whose lifetimes are managed at runtime rather than compile time. In the context of both languages, rarely is overhead of an atomic add or GC going to be the limiting factor of your programs, just like Java programs are efficient. While static memory management is nice, it's not the sole reason I continue to use Rust. I've been using Go since 1.0, and there are two times where I have ever thought "My program is slow because of GC", and in one of those times, it was solved by simply upgrading Go.
Huh. I once wrote a MUD client that didn't have an obviously documented way to quit and got email for years after complaining that I had "made the application too addictive".
Yup, everyone publishes their public keys. No one’s private keys gets published (fake crush created).

I’m not sure if zero-knowledge proofs exist for love outside of action - repeated acts of commitment over time (to reduces the confidence that someone doesn’t love you).
Although personal responsibility is a factor for emissions, my thesis is that it’s not the primary factor.

When I talk about systemic issues, I talk specifically about the distribution of personal choices people can make that lead to outcomes. Taken into context, this means that if I only have one choice for electricity provider, and my investor owned utility makes a decision to burn coal to generate electricity, there’s very little I can do to change that. If the area I live in has only single family zoning, things are so spread out that it means that most people need a car for basic human needs like going to work and getting groceries. In my city electricity and transportation represents 80% of emissions. These systems have big impacts. You can throw all the personal responsibility that you want at that and not make any meaningful changes.

We don’t have to have these systems, you could empower the community to make power purchasing agreements to buy electricity on the wholesale market that would be cleaner than what the utility provides. You could pass mixed use zoning to allow developers the autonomy to build commercial/residential mid rise buildings. People could walk to a lot more stuff. We just choose not to do that.

This is a matter of waltzing into your town hall, state legislature, and congress and demanding that we allow people the ability to make better choices. If people had real choices, we’d have better outcomes.
The only complaint I have with it is that it doesn't appear to work with Putty's pageant to authenticate SSH. You can use openssl's agent though.

The problem here is not the Electoral College, though it does have issues. In 2000 Bush only "won" due to the fraudulent actions of Florida Republicans, including FL Secretary of State, Katherine Harris. We see the same exact shenanigans during the 2016 election with Republicans in state power invalidating mail in ballet votes, preventing Blacks and minorities from voting, etc. Nearly every election we see Republican shenanigans, trying to stifle minorities from voting and desperately invalidating votes for Democrats.

By and large the problem is with the Republicans, who have been in minority for more than 20 years, and executing their own "minority rule" by whatever means necessary, including using absurd falsehoods and outright fraud. If DC and Puerto Rico were granted statehood, which is only Constitutional and fair, we'd never see another Republican President ever again, nor a Republican controlled Senate.

Conversely, if everyone always voted in their personal economic interests, we'd never see another Republican elected to any office, anywhere. But as it is, 99% of the Republican Party always votes adversely to their personal economic interests, whether it be for economically irrelevant distractions such as abortion or 2nd Amendment issues, or for the delusion that someday they will be rich, and voting in the interests of the rich at their own economic expense.

It really is absurd, especially because Republican administrations are responsible for all the economic recessions in the last 45 years.

Wake up people! Stop propping up the rich at the expense of your own personal economic interests! If you earn less than $400K/yr, you are a fool to vote Republican, and you are hurting America, and yourself.
Wasn't one argument that Uber micromanages the drivers to a considerable degree, specifically putting up rules how cars have to look, which branding to use, etc?

Not a lawyer, but I imagine things like that might make it hard or impossible for drivers to work with other "customers" apart from Uber. This condition - being self-employed on paper but in practice being completely dependent on a single corporate customer - was termed Scheinselbstständigkeit in Germany and made illegal. Maybe Swiss are using a similar approach here.

To my knowledge, Ryanair tried a similar businesses model about a decade ago, basically saying their pilots were independent contractors when in practice they were unable to work for anyone else but Ryanair.

Edit: What I would find interesting is if Uber could claim they are operating a franchise. After all, the degree of micromanagement that is tolerated between franchisers and franchisees seems to be higher than between contractors and customers - see e.g. fast-food chains. (Not that i'd like Uber to use that loophole though, just curious if this would work)
I’m wondering what the ARR looks like now. I read here on HN that Bolt had $40m in revenue last year with an $11b valuation.

A trick I learned is that if you started it with wizards.exe instead of mom (don't remember if it was .com or .exe) it would skip the intro video which used about 60k more RAM than the rest of the game. Also, nwcdex (the novell CD-ROM driver) could load into either EMS or XMS while the microsoft version could not.

Django, without a doubt. If your goal is longevity of frameworks I'd avoid the JS ecosystem. It has a much higher tolerance for library churn than an ecosystem like Python does.
