Subsidise their own defence? Defence from what?
The only time NATO called the arms was when the US invoked article 5.

Additionally this article is from 2007.

We are as of today still helping out in Iraq.

>but I just found it odd that the U.S. would be lumped in with China

When SWIFT was transacting with Iran after our negotiations you forced our hand to fit your own geopolitics.
You force decisions about nato procurement to favour you (At times Germany has done so too tbh) and your industry then whine we don't spend enough.

Whenever it comes down to it your allies end up being pushed to act like vassals instead (see Japan being forced to do technology transfers to the US, to import US goods, set monetary policy favouring the US,etc in the 70's/ 80's all to essentially bail it out)

Then there's various examples of government sponsored corporate espionage.

Then there's things like our refugee wave resulting political turmoil stemming from our dealings in the middle east and the arab spring after north african countries and co tried in vain to protect their pegs against the dollar.

All in all I do think there's countless opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation and alignment between the US and EU but hell don't act like the US is some saint who never acts in it's own interest. At least with China nobody pretends.

Ps. I think the US rethoric regarding china is laden with hypocrisy. That's not to say China is not authoritarian, etc
Really cool, I'm going to give it a try.

My current setup is to host the audiobooks in a Plex library and use a third party app like Prologue [1] on iOS or Chronicle [2] on Android which both work really well for offline listening and progress tracking.

Most work going on is feature work in my experience. Not bug fixes.
> They said it was a once in generation vote.

Or, put another way, you are trying to bind future voters to a promise you agreed to. An arbitrary, ill defined promise at that. What are you telling the younger voters you want to disenfranchise?

Perhaps a supermajority was always the better solution to big questions that should have strong consensus.
SWE's are not the only ones that think that their pay is low compared to their intelligence level, their education level, how tough, inconvenient or important their work is or what they feel they deserve for some other reason.

For instance, I'm sure there are plenty of HR managers in various companies that are secretly furious about all the young young mostly males, mostly white or asian, still in their 20s, join the company and make more than they do.
It's important to remember that EVs can be left charging unattended. This makes time requirements very different than filling up with gas.

If you park your car at home, leave it charging overnight. It doesn't matter if it will take 4, 8 or 12 hours — you have the whole night. Also it's unlikely that you will run it down to 0% every day, so you just need to top it up.

If you have a parking with chargers at work, you can plug it there. That's 8 hours when the car is sitting idle and could be charging. Or at a supermarket — plug it in when you're shopping. Even with a relatively slow charger you'll likely return home with more battery than you've left with. This is called destination charging, and these chargers are designed to top up your car while you're parked there for longer periods anyway.

Really fast charging is needed on road trips, but there you will want at least 100kW. For daily home use charging speed literally doesn't matter.

You need to adjust the ultimatum game to make itsimilar to the examples given in the article. Your choices are actually:

1. Do nothing.
2. Play the original ultimatum game.

The question now is: Is 1 more ethical than 2?
Nethack is full of such things, that would be meaningless in many other games, and AI developers would probably not look at in other games... eg. what your pet stops on (or doesn't step on/pick up) and its curse status. If you don't track the dog, remember the status, and then notice the un/cursed status in the end, you never find out stuff like that.
In the year to March around 3/4 of people seeking asylum in the UK were granted it. This is the same PM that granted foreign students 2 year work visas on graduation. Hardly the actions of a bunch of Nazis. The huff and puff about immigration is entirely superficial, because at heart the conservatives are a party of business and they know full well immigration benefits the country. Their stance on immigration is best seen as a law and order issue, with a veneer of pandering to Daily Mail readers.
The price of freedom is ignoring cases like this. It's a price worth paying.
We can’t even push to a git repo unless it has a linked work item/story/task/bug.

So, in order to say, upgrade packages or refactor difficult to read code, the work item needs to be approved by a non-tech PO.

Guess how much gets done outside of planned/micromanaged?
Answer: next to nothing.
Yes:
Bitfinex, Crypto.com. Nexo, BlockFi, Ledn.

I predict that they will all eventually collapse.
It is a bit delayed with them because there is a locking period for most of them, this means that they will be in trouble in the coming days/weeks as they will have to honour massive withdrawals.
You can't. You trade a crypto coin on the market and you have a price.

The price is hugely affected by how many people in the whole world believe it's a decent currency.
Many people pointing out the impracticality of this because of the pound and the border issue if there were an independent Scotland. This would be a logistical nightmare, but the EU would likely welcome Scotland back into the union and support a strong border like what is happening in the Irish Sea.

But these hypotheticals are just bargaining chips the EU has to force the UK back into the customs union and single market. Who knows, maybe a decade from now there will be a unified Ireland, a free Scotland and the UK will have abolished the monarchy even! But even if these aren’t realistic goals, it still makes sense for Brussels to support these movements.
> Rustian Garbage collection

Genuinely curious here: the Java GC (still in 2022) is often a major headache in production wrt latency when system is under load.

How's the Rust GC in that regard?
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for taking the trouble to try this.

My intuition from a quick scan of your second experiment above is that, in a sense, you used the scaffold of the original prompts and dressed it up in a different context. GPT-3 and other Large Language Models are very good at discerning patterns in text and filling them in with new tokens, but this still doesn't tell us much about their ability to understand the text.
Startups are about cost, time to market, and a high level of efficiency to deliver on a promises ( product ) to sell or get to market. A language selection should consider two things, talent pool and maturity of the tools.

When you go hire developers, I want a strong pool to be able to be selective in finding attitude with the right aptitude, and I want them to be productive ASAP, so that means that we might bring in GNU protects that we are extending, tooling from other sources and high level knowledge of the code… this is where maturity comes in, not the language that matters, it’s the package you get on the product you are developing.

I love rust, it will get there, but in a startup environment, it could end up been “not the best fit” all things considered.
> I wish Spanish government reacted similar to British in case of Catalonia. Instead of helping to properly organize the referendum, they opted for using armed forces and criminalizing and arresting pro-independence supporters.

On that we agree. Spain knows they don't stand a chance in a fair and free separation referendum, which is why they went down the dirty route.
WRT currency having Scotland use Euro wouldnt be any different to how Northern Ireland uses Pounds and the Republic uses Euro
I agree.

If you are extroverted, you DO NOT need a curated or arbitrary system to social network - you are simply going to do it anyway.

If you are introverted, you WILL NEVER take advantage of even a curated system to "create" a social network - it's simply not in you to do that.

So that leaves a tiny domain of people for whom it might help. But the reality
is that it's the peak of the Bell curve but it's also the peak of mediocrity which is antithetical to startups or creativity. Yet unexpected and creative connections are supposed to be the point.

Cheaper to buy a golf club membership quite honestly.
So, F# with NuGet/Fake, Scala or Kotlin with Maven/Gradle, OCaml with OPAM.

Those points are hardly Rust specific and apply to any compiled language with ML influences.
My experience, unfortunately, is that good managers like you seem to be don't last long. They get replaced by manage-up sleazeballs who'll never, ever protect the people beneath them because it's not game-theoretically optimal.

The thing is, executives measure themselves by how quickly they get promoted into the next role, so no one cares that good management might reduce turnover in the next 2-3 years--in fact, the executive mindset is that it could just as easily increase turnover (what if we invest in their careers, and they leave?)
>in cryptocurrency scam

That's a redundancy.
One of the top comments on the youtube video:

> That was 1971. Now 43 years later, we still use the over 100 years old combustion engine. Something is seriously wrong in this world.
I prefer the R formula syntax. i.e

How do you make money from owning and living in a house?
Yet not all nations are in Schengen. If Scotland were allowed to join the EU (despite Spain's veto) I have no doubt there would be an acceptance that it could remain in the CTA with Ireland and the rest of UK
It’s housing that’s the anomaly there though, not SWE salaries.
Can we have device local audio transcription from voice messages to text? I guess you could already do it using some cloud service, at least for popular languages. But I would prefer not to do that for privacy reasons. I'm not so sure about how well my native languages (Finnish & Swedish) would fare.

IIRC android has a voice keyboard. So instead of sending voice messages, dictate and send text. But that would require effort from the sender.
What are some examples?

To me, this feels a lot more widespread than things like typical pyramid schemes. Celebrities doing cryptocurrency commercials, baseball umpires being sponsored by cyrptocurrency exchanges, crypto machines in the grocery store. It's nuts.
The current situation is that the UK, not Scotland, owns the oil fields. A maritime boundary would need to be drawn and negotiated. If Westminster really wanted to stick the boot in, they could offer Shetland a vote on becoming a Crown Dependency first.
The aftermath of the Brexit referendum was horrendous precisely because there were several groups campaigning for mutually contradictory visions of Brexit.

A referendum whereby the nature of the thing being voted on is only explained afterwards is not democratic, it is merely an illusion of democracy.
> I think the issue in Donetsk/Luhansk is actually the Russian army forcing them into Russia, against the wishes of most of the inhabitants [1].

I would still trust an actual referendum held in 2014 than some random net article. Unfortunately, now it's too late for that, we have a bloody war and need to find a way out. And that was my whole point, referendums are good, and the British government is doing the right thing to allow them.

I write Lugansk since it was written like that when I learned it. Luhansk is a relatively recent transcription change. It's still written as Lugansk in most of the German and Polish media. French, Croatian, and Spanish name could also be the same.

Even in original Ukrainian, it is written as Луганськ, "г" being a Cyrillic "g" and not "h". As someone who can read Cyrillic, but neither Russian nor Ukrainian, I just tend to transcribe Cyrillic letters as is, instead to guess the right pronunciation.
The most painful one for me: https://wxtoimgrestored.xyz
> Once I started working on more complex systems such as a distributed job queue with asynchronous behavior or an embedded system interfacing with an FPGA, the gains started to come.

This makes me take the advice with a grain of salt because it's not very representative of the kind of software development most startups will require. I'd be more interested to hear about startups using Rust for CRUD apps for example.
Ah, yes-- a reread of the comment does imply that, and I can't evaluate that claim. Except to say that, as you mentioned, the financial cost shouldn't be much different (unless the government has much stronger support/subsidies for starting new businesses? I know the Bank of China has friendly terms for domestic loans but I though that tended to be for large scale initiatives and less so for startups)

I'd really like to know more about any cultural or social factors involved. Putting aside the governmental regime, I think the region has a fascinatingly different culture & outlook on the world that differs much from more Western views but has a depth that is often obscured by modern politics. Of course some of that stems from a historic tradition that made the region extremely opaque, if not outright inaccessible (geographically) from outsiders. Hong Kong for example was founded (partially) because ports & cities beyond that area were forbidden. (The cynical & hypocritical Opium Wars waged by Great Britain were of course a factor as well)
> Holding up to "once in a generation" promises is stupid, though so was making such a claim to start with.

It's not a bad way to try and skip a generation that seems to be skewing left, however, and keep power in the hands of the boomer generation. "Sorry, kids, I know you weren't old enough to vote for this before, but we agreed that we wouldn't do it again for a generation."

Spain won't like a "breakaway province" joining the EU - they hate self determination for places like Catalonia and Gibraltar.
You can. They're called ad blockers and Google.
You probably mean secede, but it’s nice of you to wish them well!
I have also used Rust in a startup. With one major exception, it has been a huge win.

Rust makes it incredibly easy to write fast CLI tools and special purpose servers. They're solid and pleasant to maintain. Refactoring is easy, and if code compiles, it's normally correct.

The biggest drawback we encountered was when we used Rust for business logic. Business logic tends to be high level and change frequently, and many different people need to touch it.

So we ended up with a split: Most of our business logic is written in popular high-level languages. But for those things which aren't specific to our business, we write lots of open source Rust.
That's politics for you. Brilliant ideas rarely crop up.
Some Thoughts on Naming Tests
high beta ! and no laws
> Asylum-seeking is not illegal immigration

Economic migration under the guise of asylum seeking is though. And pretending that all the people who make the attempt to gain Asylum in the UK are legitimate non-economic migrants is absurd.
Well, because geniuses who were too smart for their own good turned every problem into an academic exercise, writing "elegant" code using the darkest corners of the vast language that is C++. And then we hate the language and not these characters.

Scala has the same problem. Stop writing your own DSLs!
> I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode and my score for the AngelList Fullstack assessment [1] was 18/30.

You say this as if both are equally bad - I just ran through it at ended up with 18/30 myself - but they list that as being in the 80/90th percentile! Or in their words: "You performed better than 80%-90% of 40,200+ candidates who took the same quiz."

AFAI can tell time doesn't enter into the evaluation, (ed: I did fairly rush through in 19 minutes - don't think it matters for scoring).

At any rate, I think you're conflating two things that people often conflate: suitability to get a job as a Software Developer/Software Architect - and Computer Science. If you want to do algorithmic research, you will need a good handle on CS - but for many development jobs a deep CS foundation is only a bonus, not a requirement.

Get more CS if you want to do research, get more programming experience if you want to work in this industry.

FWIW I know many great SWEs that have less of a CS background than what you already have.
SNP will steal anything from Brexit campaign that worked.

> They need to be answered at some point, but not necessarily before the referendum

It would be well within Westminster's powers to say "sure, draw up a costed budget first and answer the big questions, get OBR sign-off, and we're good to go!"
Several inconclusive outcomes don't add up to one conclusive one.
I don't think startups should focus on performance. They should focus on features. Rust will probably delay and hold back new features.

The language is fucking great. But the ecosystem isn't there yet and you have to re-invent the wheel again and again.
"somehow you're expecting me to stay while my knowledge deteriorates unless I keep it up in my own time, all the while giving lowball raises and not satisfying my desire for challenges"

That's not really the expectation... the expectation is that you'll be replaced by someone younger who's already learned all that.

The expectation for more senior people is that they'll go in to management or architecture.. or maybe burn out.. it doesn't really matter to most corporations, as their workers are replaceable.
The way I remember it is that it counts from 1 to 7:

2006-01-02T15:04:05Z-0700

It's unfortunate that the year is 2006 and sandwiched between the minute and TZ offset, but this keeps the day at Monday (1st day of the week, for many anyway) so that's nice.

It goes up in value. Also interests rates decreasing means more immediate money in lower living costs.
I am an outsider on the topic, but wouldn't such a stark change of the political landscape as Brexit be a really valid reason to ask the question again?

After all, independence before would have meant exiting the EU, while it now could mean re-entering it. Independence is ultimately the question about how a region wants to see itself in the world, and the alliances you are in are a big factor in that qestion.
Read books. Find good books on the things you want to learn about and read them.

It might sound dumb but really all the stuff you want to learn has likely already been written up in beginner-friendly books. There are a lot of really good beginner/intermediate targeted books in Computer Science. You can get great books on Vue/React and any specific/niche technology as well as more broad books that cover wider areas eg. systems

Outside of school I've found it's a great way to deep-dive into a new topic and HN is a great place to get book recommendations for new topics.
A few years ago when the Union Jack had to go from the row of EU flags (because of Brexit), my city's council (of the Dutch town of Leeuwarden) replaced it with suitable alternative:

Seems this submission is being flagged, because it's disappearing very quickly from the frontpage. Obviously, the story is of great interest, as seen by the huge amount of comments and upvotes, so maybe moderators/dang could "pin" it or whatever to make the flags less aggressive?
Same experience here. The only thing excellent about Kafka is marketing. It is endless, relentless and everywhere.
I'm sure HR managers know that the majority of jobs they are hiring for are different from the job they're in, with different pay scales and demographics.

Infact I'd say it's their profession.
With OpenAi (and other comparable technologies) able to semantically understand "write fast and efficient C code for a prime sieve" and generate fairly impressive C code, I'm no longer sure I agree that we will never have enough software developers (after watching this, made me get just a little nervous as well as excited about the future of our industry):

https://youtu.be/k_EF42H2ZC0?t=187
No disagreement here.
My post is a praise of Rust, not "everyone must use Rust!". These languages and tools are also great!

(edit) added 'tools'
As long as either:

- they’re senior level in another language and have at least one non-trivia project in Rust (need not be professional)

- Applying for a junior position and thus will have access to mentorship

I don’t see what the problem is. Rust isn’t Haskell: while there’s a few new things, most imperative programming experience will translate.
Well that seems quite silly. You'd think you'd want a majority for a big, hard to reverse decision like that, otherwise it will oscillate back and forth.
Uh, yeah. Why do people act like this is a bad thing?

I’m a big fan of the fact that when someone is pissed off at me they’re not allowed to just punch me in the face. I’m also a big fan of the fact that someone CAN metaphorically punch me in the face if I manage to piss off a whole slew of people, elected by and comprised of my compatriots, with various systems designed to mitigate emotionality and unfairness.

Duh this is a strictly good thing, when paired with democracy.
Or, you know, require a supermajority instead of disenfranchising voters. You could vote once a day if you did not put the threshold at 50% plus 1.
Yes. Some of those things can be discovered by trial-and-error (exploration in Reinforcement Learning, I guess?) but some others are much more of a tall order. One classic problem is that the things one does in early levels affect the progress of the game at higher (lower) levels but it's not clear how before getting there. So while I think that, ultimately, a big neural net should be able to learn all those tricks that human players have learned over the years, it would take an exhorbitant amount of data and training time, that perhaps few companies would want to spend on something obscure and esoteric like nethack.
What makes Rust better for these attributes than any other statically typed language with immutable data structures?

It sounds like Ocaml would do just as good of a job here.
> Economic migration under the guise of asylum seeking is though.

Correct. As is murder, theft, etc. I don't think anything in my comment suggested they're not?
Or, less politely, Rump UK.
Yes and the scottish aftermath will also be horrendous as many contradictory visions exist of indy too. But how else to do it?

You can't agree prior to the vote how indy will look exactly, for the very same reason.
You might be interested by the book "Consciousness and the Brain" by Stanislas Dehaene. In it, Dehaene tries to define Consciousness, based on a series of reproducible experiments designed to discriminate between conscious and unconscious processes.

For example, he is able to show that our unconscious processes that are responsable for parsing text and numbers are able to assign conceptual meaning to words/numbers (ie "five" and "5" lead to the same meaning), before any conscious awareness.

Although my summary hardly does it justice (as I'm still half-way through reading it), I highly recommend Scott Alexender's book review on Astral Codex Ten[0], it gives an exhaustive overview of the book and the subjects it covers.
