It is indeed possible that there is a philosophical gulf. However, it is also possible that engineers who dislike Bazel (and love things like Make and CMake) haven't worked in large, multi-language organizations.
I'm not aware of the author's history, so I don't want to imply they haven't, I'm saying generally.
Bazel is a tool that exists to solve specific problems. And it (and clones) does that miles better than any tool out there.

1. Caching, while maintaining hermeticity and correct dependency tracking.

2. Remote execution - yes, contrary to the author's general focus on small, specialized, C (or similar) tools, products out there have to deal with thousands of dependencies that take forever to build and are nice to offload to a beefy server. They also need to support several different devices and architectures.

3. Actually being able to run tests, use the same caching mechanism on tests, surface those results to CI.

4. Being able to plug in arbitrary languages into the build system, with a sane (subset of Python) DSL to write rules in. Because not every project is written in C/C++, or in a single language.

5. Having very clear separation of build phases so you can't shoot yourself in the foot.

6. A lot of hooks to provide better integration with CI, as well as to collect profiling info from your end users, so you can actually make life better for your engineering org as a member of the developer tools/infrastructure team.

In general, my gripe with Bazel complainers is there is a loud community of them on the Internet whose primary software engineering experience is either in languages that build fast, projects that are small and with few dependencies, or just have a small number of people.

There is a world of software out there beyond the Web and C UNIX utilities. Try doing any high end computer vision, robotics or HPC work and you've to deal with a bunch of dependencies trying to solve very complicated problems. One can discuss whether some of those dependencies are well designed or not, but at the end of the day they are very good at their job and don't have much competition.

Bazel solves a lot of problems for a lot of these people, so calling it "questionable" is quite ignorant.
Don't think of getting the work done, but make a habit of progressing in small steps. The work will eventually get done.
You can do this in the .NET ecosystem too, they accept pull requests from the community regularly. I have a few merged PRs in Roslyn, one in particular I made because I knew it didn't affect very many developers and would have trouble getting prioritized.

Also personally the ideal situation for me is for someone who is getting paid to fix the issue to go fix it without me having to get my hands dirty.
Mortgage backed securities market failed to clear at 5.5% and Fed is hiking rates, so this will probably go up another 1% per 0.75% Fed hike.
So what they’ve got is a bunch of barcoded synthetic peptides, which they use to assay for protease activity (is there even enough specificity information for each protease?). Based on the signature of activity they fit some model to tell one infection apart from the other.

It’s a neat application of their technology (basically barcoded peptides), and I would imagine this reflects tropism of viruses and bacteria, and the different inflammatory responses likely elucidated by the respective cells being damaged.
I hate the way the health-care system works and how it's affected me and those close to me. I spent much of my adult life paying off medical debt exactly like they describe. Defrayed by parents somewhat, but still a significant burden for many years. On one hand, we have debt and bankruptcy as a tool to help individuals deal with costs that would be impossible to save up for. On the other hand, this quote from the article rings true:

> “We have a health care system almost perfectly designed to create debt.”

This was true before the ACA – and is still true.

Is having 41% of adults in America in debt really worth "innovation" for the rest of the world?

And what exactly is "rationing" - I bet almost every adult in America knows someone (or is that someone) who has delayed going to the doctor/for a procedure (or just never got it entirely) because of how much it is going to cost? Doesn't the inability to even get the required care due to the cost really count as "rationing" in the system we already have?
I see. Then it's OK to skirt environmental and worker protection laws, I guess. As long as the products are nice.

Is this another case of "corporate religion"? It's not new, I've seen studies of cases a few years ago. Terrifying to know some managers are adopting it and people get dragged into it.

Appropriately chided! I edited OP.
Also known as 100M people who may have died without medical care, but were provided it despite their inability to pay for it. If you remove the ability for medical workers to seek payment for their services, most medical workers are just gonna say fuck it and not work for free.

Medical care providers have families they have to feed too.
I'm told there used to be a really strong Italian / Portuguese culture around Providence / Warwick / Bristol. That might be where someone gets the stereotypes about machismo and Roman Catholic jewelry. I suspect this part has changed a lot in recent decades.

Not sure "WASP-y" applies much of anywhere in Rhode Island. It's reportedly[0] the most Roman Catholic state in the U.S.

Providence strikes me as similar to most other small-medium cities with universities.

The folks I've met from the rural areas (mostly Exeter, Charlestown area) seem pretty much like people I've met in other rural areas in New England. I.e., more likely to lean conservative, more self-reliant for daily needs, etc.

There is obvious distractions. For a random SaaS: e.g., "Let's make our own coin on the blockchain" and there is obvious healthy disagreements. e.g., "Let's be very aggressive on pricing."

To be fair, in that anecdote you are extracting meaningful information just from observing the literal survivors, which sort of points in the opposite direction to the GP’s point.

I’d say examining survivors is useful and can provide information, but you need to be careful to correct for survivorship bias. But that’s not to say you cannot gain any information from examining cohorts of survivors.

I think most people probably under-correct for survivorship bias so it’s good general advice to highlight it.
It's not like the free market is immune to supply shocks either. E.g. Overbooked planes. It's never efficient to aim for 100% availability.
I think it's a weird comparison to begin with because an iPad is a hell of a lot more versatile than a Darth Vader action figure.
If you think our current system doesn't have rationing, I'm not sure what to tell you. "Long wait times" are one way to ration care -- but equally effective is just denying 30 million people the ability to get any care at all due to unaffordable insurance and ruinous costs for any 'touch' with the system. Another effective way to ration care is to make routine things so expensive that people self-select out of receiving care or filling prescriptions even when they are insured.
Your mileage may vary, but I had the same issue and it got fixed after I started lifting and developed more muscle all over my body, especially in the core.

The 6502 was a clone-ish of the Motorola 6800 made to be lower cost. The 6800 led to the 6809 (another competitor,used by the Tandy CoCo and IIRC the Dragon) and to the 68000 series, used by Apple in the Mac, Sun in its early systems, NeXT, Amiga, Atari in their later systems, and more. That led to the PowerPC partnership of Motorola, Apple, and IBM.

PowerPC was outliving its useful life due not to ISA, but manufacturing limitations. So Apple went to Intel, but that wasn't fit for mobile. Apple partnered with ARM to make their mobile chips. Then their mobile chips grew into the M1 and M2 along with ARM, bringing them back to a RISC-ish platform like they had with PowerPC. So it's sort of a dual path back to the same place.
Google, like almost every large organization, is de facto psychopathic. Its values align with "woke" values because its profits do not depend on the favorable opinions and/or work performance of racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, or other traditional Western bigots. Its profits do depend on the work performance of casteists, therefore Google will use every means at its disposal to preserve that profit.

If tomorrow the Google board of directors and executives found that someone had created an AI that could single-handedly replace every single other Google employee with the caveat that it absolutely hated left-handed people, Google would be posting thoughtful articles about how anyone not right-handed deserved to be rounded up and put in camps.

It’s already rationing with a different mechanism that you personally prefer
We already have rationing. My (expensive FAANG-funded) health insurance said no MRI without 4 weeks of PT.

Yes, technically I could pay the couple thousand dollars out of pocket, but in most socialized health care systems you can do that as well.
can you elaborate on the "rationing" part?
I'm guessing you tied "socialist" and "rationing" together, but did you do it in the context of other developed economies (i.e most of Europe?)
From the Twitter link:

"I was a TVC — which stands for “temps, vendors, and contractors,” a designation within Google for workers who aren’t full-time employees and are hired by third parties companies, not by Google itself. We do the same work as full-time Google employees — I worked right alongside them — but we don’t have the same corporate benefits."

This is another way to screw workers, allowing large companies to hire "employees" without having to pay benefits or FICA taxes. If Google managers are directing and controlling these contractors as if they were actual Google employees, doesn't this violate IRS rules on independent contractors?

For example, if I hire a company to do my video productions, that's fine. But if that company's employees all are required to work in my building, and I supply the desk, chair, computer, and have a employee/manager who directs their daily actions, they are not functioning as independent contractors according to IRS guidelines. In that case, the contractors might be able to sue Google for benefits and past taxes they've had to pay that Google employees don't have to pay.
It comes down to reducing the money supply. Increasing interest rates will eventually reduce inflation but it's going to hurt the economy.

Another way to reduce the money supply is to increase taxes but that's mostly impossible to accomplish so we'll see interest rates rise until we see inflation slow.
Just watched John Q (2002) last night, and can't believe that despite all the attention it gets, nothing has changed at all. Can't say I'm surprised though.
I wonder how they consider my family who receives bogus bills that are being mishandled by insurance or the hospital or both.
Are you sure about your assertions? I thought all LDS Church child businesses (such as KSL, Bonneville International, etc.) and land holdings were taxed. I was under the impression only the charitable arm of the church was not taxed (i.e. donations). IANATL though, so maybe there is some loophole being exploited I'm not aware of.
At worst they'd put you as one of the 37% of people who haven't had to cut spending on food, clothing, or other basics.

Of course, 63% of the people with health care debt have (according to study).

So while your case is interesting from a technical point of view, it isn't really practically or morally interesting, and can only serve to detract from the important points of the study.

Is this just sarcasm? Rage bait? Are you out of touch? Poor people already ration care. I experienced it first hand working in a grocery store. God forbid you got hurt or sick because you'd be losing work days aka income. Then you'd be eating less or borrowing money or skipping a few medications. But, sure, socialism in healthcare * like every other developed economy* will stifle innovation.

U.S. healthcare underperforms in most verticals. High cost is the primary reason that prevents Americans from accessing health care services. Americans with below-average incomes are much more affected, since visiting a physician when sick, getting a recommended test, or follow-up care has become unaffordable.

You are assuming $1000 is easy to pay off. This is simply not true for the working poor.
Definitely looks like the kind of bug I'd find exploited on early Internet Explorer. Open a suspicious tab, get spammed with fullscreen ads! Now that's thinking differently.
not that it honestly matters. the whole cabal of private healthcare has become such a teetering house of cards post covid that credit reporting agencies no longer count medical debt in your score.

Nowadays GPUs do exactly that, they have thermal pads that connect the back of the PCB to a metal backplate. It is not clear whether this is actually necessary and not just for show.
I don't think anyone is suggesting medical providers do not get paid.
Yeah I got the rate wrong :(
The US doesn't have universal healthcare, so there's not a great mechanism for health care workers to earn a living without charging client for it. Some charities excepted.

The water erosion hypothesis is not supported by enough evidence.

A strong piece of counter evidence is that they have dated the temple near the Sphinx (built at the same time according to both pseudo- and real archeologists) and it corresponded perfectly to other estimates.

Caste discrimination is definitely a thing. HN has had numerous articles about this.

I'm no socialist, but you can actually have a system of government health insurance but keep private healthcare. Or basic free healthcare (government run hospitals/clinics) and if you want better, pay out of pocket for private.

For example, in my wife's home country, she give birth in an awesome private maternity hospital for about $2k out of pocket for everything. I mean everything. But if we wanted, she could have done it in the government run hospital for $0.
What do you mean "native messaging API?"

Tauri offers a very elegant, secure, and effective way for the WebView JS environment to communicate with the Rust backend. It's not a trivial task to do this effectively and securely, let alone with something ergonomically pleasing.

Anyway, what "native messaging API" are you referring to? Perhaps they missed something obvious, but I found that unlikely.
