A translation of this that works for more people is that what you're calling "woke" casting is the process of turning all characters into "multi-colored Californians". Every character on screen is of different ethnic background, but they all speak and act like second-year acting students from an NYU improv class that are in LA for the summer.
I think it was this.

> So give customers both what they want AND what will actually help them.

So, instead of giving them what they want (security in the form of a deadbolt), also give them what will actually help them (a properly installed deadbolt).

It's a stretch but you can sort of see it.

That's the problem. There are no GCC-based Rust compilers, nor is there a fixed timeline for one to be delivered, specially in the short term.

Therefore, as the OP pointed out, as things stand either Rust in the Linux kernel is dead in the water or it poses a major problem for the Linux community.
I agree with the parent. Rust is hard because it fundamentally inverts the semantics of pretty much every other programming language on earth by making move semantics the default instead of copying.

Yet there’s no syntax to indicate this. Worse, actual copies are hidden behind a trait that you have no way of knowing whether a particular external lay defined type implements it or not outside of reading documentation. A lot of Rust’s important mechanics are underrepresented syntactically, which makes the language harder to get used to imo. I agree with the parent that in general it’s better for things to be obvious as you’re writing them—if rust had syntax that screamed “you’re moving this thing” or “you’re copying this thing because it implements copy” that’d be a lot easier to get used to than what beginners are currently stuck with which is a cycle of “get used to the invisible semantics by having the compiler yell at you at build time until you’ve drilled it into your head past the years of accumulated contrary models” and oh, as soon as you have to use another language this model becomes useless, so expertise in it does not translate to other domains (though that will hopefully change in the future)
Why did they wait so long? This is a great way for the pharma giants to generate revenue. Monetizing the 6 month old demographic will really push those profit margins.
"Zero bullshit"? "No magic syntax"?

JSX is 1,000% magic syntax, and anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something.

It looks, feels, and acts wrong in ways that Svelte or Vue templates (and most other templating systems) don’t, to me.

And the whole thing about hooks is a punt from the developers of React saying that they couldn’t figure out a more humane way of smartly figuring out reactive dependencies. The whole trick of figuring out why you have an update loop (and specifying those dependencies) is work that the tooling should be able to figure out for me. What use is one-way binding if I have to specify my update dependencies at least twice in every hook (once in the hook logic and once in the dependency list)?

And you’re right: React’s surface area is narrow, which does not justify the framework’s bundle size or it’s painful developer semantics. Both Vue2 and Vue3 provide more than React does with bundle sizes that are ⅔ as large. Svelte’s runtime, when needed, is even smaller. What excuse does the React team have for causing so much lost developer productivity and wasting bundle sizes? At least Preact has the excuse that it’s a much smaller runtime bundle.

I look at React code and I see cries for help from people stuck in an abusive relationship with their development tools, when there are so many better choices out there. Including plain old vanilla JS (which is increasingly an option from my perspective).

That said, I’d much rather deal with React than Flutter and Dart any day. React still ultimately compiles to real components for the platform, whereas Flutter can’t even pretend to be a good citizen of any platform.

Rust has been my primary language for the past 5 years, but it's moving in a direction that gets it farther away from my own values about what software ought to be like. As more features are added to the language, the ways they interact with each other increases the overall complexity of the language and it becomes hard to keep up.

I really like the safety guarantees that Rust provides and I want to keep enjoying them, but the language -- and more importantly, its ecosystem -- is moving from something that was relatively simple to a weird mish-mash of C++, JavaScript, and Haskell, and I'm keeping an eye out for a possible escape hatch.

Zig, Odin, or Hare are not on the same plane of existence as Rust when it comes to out-of-the-box safety (or, at the moment, out-of-the-box suitability for writing production-grade software), but they are simpler and intend to remain that way. That really jives with my values. Yes, this means that some of the complexity of writing software is pushed back onto me, the programmer, but I feel that I have a better shot at writing good software with a simple language than with a complex language where I only superficially understand the features.

Oracle aims to build a unified database for patient information, similar to the unified financial database with credit information, accessible to healthcare providers and public health officials. The database would have anonymized data from hospitals, clinics and providers across the U.S. and provide up-to-the-minute information about patients' personal health as well as public health statistics, such as the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 or available hospital beds in a particular state.

Courts are definitely aware of the need to protect the creative process and that no song is truly “original” in all aspects. e.g. the Katy Perry case[0]

Songs are different from code, in that the “hook” that makes the money may be only a few seconds long. There are many creative choices that a songwriter/producer can fit into just a few seconds: the harmony, melody, rhythm, lyrics, timbre, effects, ...

Whereas for code, the space of creativity is limited by functional considerations. A creative choice is protected by copyright but not all choices that programmers make are creative. Often the choices are limited by the API/interface or by efficiency considerations and it turns out that there’s only one good way to do something.

A function may be very intricate, yes, while still containing almost no creative value (e.g. a Vulkan setup function). Music doesn’t have an equivalent to this - the placement of every note is a creative act.

What, specifically, "woke" attributes has Netflix tripped on?

The issues with Netflix and content creation are systemic, but it isn't an issue with "wokeness," which has become a lazy kneejerk reaction to any media entity.
They implicitly allowed it for well over a decade because it was good for their growth. We had a friends group with multiple Wiis using the same Netflix account when I was in college.

It seems like there might be a periodic sine wave for media consumption, with price on the Y axis.

When we sit at the trough, DRM is heavy-handed and media is expensive to purchase or rent. Piracy is the best option for most consumers.

Then some enterprising people pitch the media companies on a way to implement some hurdle pricing to jumpstart their moribund sales. Presented with an easy cheap way to pay for legal access to entertainment, people jump on board.

As money starts to roll in, the business types start to eye vertical integration. The upstarts see the writing on the wall and try to find a way out. Prices rise, but the content is still easy to access.

Now the rightsholders start to rein in their former partners, and implement their own solutions. These are terrible and myriad. Costs spiral, while the consumers are spoiled for choice.

Decision fatigue sets in. People find their niches, cut coupons, and share esclusive releases between family and friends.

Eventually the fragmentation becomes exhausting, and only the most line-toeing consumers bother to jump through the hoops necessary to pay for many kinds of content. Back to square one.
Looks like another signal that the tech industry is going to be shedding its hyper-growth workforce.

On a side note, a few months ago, I was receiving many recruiter-supplied positions for building out streaming services. These positions seemed to pay well, require a deep understanding of video streaming, and a vigorous interview processs. I wonder if these newly created positions will be the first to go as big entertainment tech consolidates its workforce.

Netflix was a major producer of many shows supporting BIPOC, including Dear White People and 13 Reasons Why. This is sad news.
OXO positively dominates Wirecutter, the New York Times–owned recommendations platform that published the “enumerated love letter” to its products.

That's strange, I thought their editorial mission was "finest blogspam affiliate links and kickbacks can support."
I follow an Australian hydroponic gardener and general tinkerer on YouTube named Hoocho and he has documented a bit of the mess the weather has caused lately. It’s extremely disheartening.

One thing he noticed is that the water has pushed ants to find new places to live (including his growing enclosure, where they’ve made a home in his electrical box), and they’ve brought aphids to farm along with them. Obviously this along with extremely wet weather is terrible for his crops.

He has mentioned the $10 lettuce (initially $4, then $6, then…) and somehow it seemed so unlikely still, like there must be somewhere you can still buy normally priced lettuce. But I guess not. It’s wild how quickly food supplies can get gutted by climate fluctuations.

Suffice to say, I’ve begun hydro gardening for fast turn around essentials with the idea that in a time of crisis, perhaps I can avoid buying $10 lettuce. Thanks Hoocho, you’ve made my 3D printer far more useful and made hydroponics way more fun.
Netflix's problem is that the people in charge have 0 taste. The best / most popular content on netflix is made by auteurs (Stranger things) or is created by other studios (Squid game, etc). You can't make television using these data scientists and ml models. You need to have actual taste. You need to understand what separates a good story from a bad one. You can't just throw money at the problem either.

Just go to HBO to see the antithesis of netflix's model. It's possible to consistently put out quality, you need the right people involved. You can expect that to die soon btw since the suits at Warner fired the head of that company.
Particularly considering the recent Dave Chapelle controversy (and similar), would you really consider Netflix "woke"? They're capitalistic - they'll make whatever sells

Can you explain what you mean by your namespaces comment? AFAIK, Rust has modules and crates, not namespaces.
We’re talking about templates in the context of component libraries. In particular, I’m highlighting the template languages of smaller, more capable component library systems than React — Vue (2 and 3) and Svelte. In both Svelte and Vue (both versions), Single File Components are the standard. Yes, there’s logic in your template, but it’s closely related to the core business logic, and it reads a lot better than embedded logic in JSX droppings.

On the rest of it, I’d agree that a lot of the JavaScript-based pure templating languages don’t really work well, but IMO that has more to do with JavaScript than the templating languages. I find EEX (Elixir), ERB (Ruby), and Jinja (Django-ish, plus others), Liquid (Ruby / Shopify), and Text Templates (Go) to all be pretty good for what they do — and most of them are templating languages that can be applied to HTML, but are not HTML "native" templating languages (even though some have HTML "native" variants, e.g., HTML templates for Go).

To double down on obscuring the knowledge that the journal exists, if a person hasn't yet started a journal, a very good habit is just not to tell anyone you have one.

If anyone occasionally happens to see you writing in a journal and asks about it (though preferably it's best to save writing for private moments), you can just describe it as note-taking or brainstorming. If one considers these lies by omission, a more direct way would be a description of "personal notes." Then, the notes sound far less interesting for most people to look into.

I think you are too dismissive of the importance of simplicity. Programming is hard. That Rust takes away certain problems doesn’t change that. A lot of coding is just reading and understanding some code. If you have problems understanding some code then I hat is also code you are. Or likely to not catch bugs in.

A compiler cannot be a substitute for your brian. The ability to read code and think clearly about it is a massively important feature because humans at the end of the day are the ones who have to understand code and fix it.

It depends on the person. Programmers are different. Rust works great for some. To me it looks too much like C++ which is something I want to put behind. I know it is a different language but it has a lot of that same focus as C++ that leads to slow compilers and complex looking code.

If I was younger I might have put in the effort, but I am not willing to make the same wrong bet I did with C++. I sunk so much time into perfecting C++ skills and realizing afterwards when using other languages that it was a huge waste.
I don’t think I understand, can you help make it click?

My thinking: They don’t need to build a fully automated one-size-fits-all product experience, they just need to charge for the cost of their existing “higher-touch experience”. Isn’t that exactly as complicated as “costs”?
Netflix is a studio at this point. While delivering a decent streaming service is an expected core competency, it's absolutely not a major differentiation. Sure people can argue over whether service A has a better user experience than service B but, to a first approximation, no one cares when it comes to deciding to subscribe or not. It's about what content they have. ADDED: Certainly no one cares that you have this fancy microservices based architecture all rnuning on AWS.
I don't know if wokeness is really applicable. Having watched a variety of netflix originals over the years I don't really find correlation or causation between wokeness and quality. I really liked Arcane, and Arcane has a bunch of races and sexualities and poverty levels and even pink/blue/etc hair. I also really liked Stranger Things and it's pretty much an all-white cast in suburbia middle class americana.
Pray tell why HBOMax and Disney+ are popular then considering there are an equal amount of “woke” shows
> Furthermore, cracking down on password sharing is reason enough to cancel - it shouldn't matter what I do with my account as long as I'm paying.

This mindset is baffling. The contract was always that a subscription was for a single household. The fact that they were flexible about access for many years is irrelevant.

You’re not buying the right to share (or resell) your account to whoever you want. You’re buying the right to stream within a single household. It doesn’t make sense to get so upset when they simply hint at enforcing the agreed-upon terms of the contract more actively.
I fully agree. Where’s the Steve Jobs of streaming? Too many Meg Whitmans running around.
I'm still not seeing the distinction on a fundamental ontological level. Physical property rights are also just privileges handed out at the whim of the state. There are plenty of examples of ideas that are less useful when they're common knowledge: Coke's secret formula, novel strategies, the passphrase to my private key, Apple's plans for the next iPhone, the list goes on. There are valid reasons to want to keep information secret or retain ownership over certain information patterns that you have mined or generated at great cost to yourself, the same as if you bought or built a physical object at similar cost to yourself. Just because the end product is information instead of a thing, why should you not have rights?
I’ve found React the complex one, especially with reactive context wrapper hooks (or whatever they’re called). I have a high confidence that when I do an "Inspect element" on a Vue or Svelte component, I’m seeing the tree pretty close to how Vue and Svelte see it. In React, there’s at least twenty hidden layers (at least according to the React development tools last time I touched React code; it was horrible).
The "native HashTable" referred to here is the string hash table that's inside the JVM. The JVM has to intern strings from class files' string literals here, so it's all implemented in native code. The comment about performance probably refers to Java constantly improving in performance because of improvements to the JIT compiler, whereas that native HashTable in the JVM is pretty static in performance unless somebody rewrites it or if the C++ optimization gets significantly better. Essentially Shipilëv is saying that Java code gets faster more quickly than the C++ code in the JVM.
You are right, but I’m guessing a lot of people don’t read the linked article. It’s a pretty good summation.

I just cancelled my Netflix account after being a subscriber since 2007. When Netflix started their streaming offering there was more content I wanted to watch than I could conceivably watch. Today there might be 4 hours of content released a month that I feel interested in. My only guess is that by chasing other audiences they lost me.
Houses in the US are sheathed with OSB or plywood. There may exist very low-quality homes that are sheathed with siding, but even that would need to meet shearing stability requirements that you can't meet with drywall alone (and nobody puts drywall on the exterior of a home).

So, if you can kick through an 16" OC mounted sheet of 5/8ths OSB, then yeah, maybe you could kick your way into a house?
I've been a Netflix customer for 20 years. I have two residences in separate states and occasionally someone else will stay at one and use my Netflix. If they ever flag my account for simultaneous streaming that will be the last straw.

I don't see how pissing off paying customers will increase revenue. Netflix needs to figure out how to make content to keep the current ones.
