TIL about Kaizen foam. Sure, I saw it before but I had no clue of its name. Thanks.
My favorite example is the Antikythera mechanism. It is quite clear that this had not been a one-of-a-kind, but that there must have been (many) predecessors of this technology to arrive at the kind of workmanship and layout that doesn't show any marks of hesitation or corrections as in the sole example, we know of. And that we know of this example at all, is just by sheer luck.

Generally, we only know of landmark size applications of historical technology, which tend to be rare.
Balaji sounds bizarre. The strangeness of the idea that Bitcoin is conservative is eclipsed only by the idea everything is run by the CCP, Crypto, and the NYT. I read Vitalik's take as a soft rebuke while trying to give honest consideration to the concept of a Network State.

However, for me 'Network State' only seems to be a new term for a Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO) that provides services typically provided by a government. I would have liked a term that highlights this connection more, perhaps something like Governing Autonomous Organization (GAO). Due apologies to the Government Account Office (also GAO).

I think better than Balaji takes on the concept can be found in the works of two science fiction authors, Neal Stephenson and Charlie Stross.

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash [1] (e.g., Distributed Republics [2]). May be of interest, but Stephenson is building a metaverse that may incorporate some of these concepts, called Laminal [3].

Accelerando [4], by Charlie Stross, takes the concept even further. It has literal distributed autonomous companies acting as shell corporations, executors, and more.

> It's pretty much taboo here in Eastern Europe

This is really interesting, which Eastern European countries is this if you don't mind me asking? I'm a Ukrainian who grew up speaking Russian because that's what was used in schools, and speak Russian regularly with other Ukrainians and others from Eastern Europe now (in a Nordic country). Now that Ukrainian refugees have been arriving, I hear many of them speaking Russian on public transport. Even those speaking Ukrainian still appreciate a Russian speaker approaching them to help if they look lost looking for their connection.

With so many Ukrainians having grown up speaking Russian due largely to the suppression of Ukrainian throughout history, but still with a fully Ukrainian identity, stigmatizing the language they speak seems like it'll just make their lives even harder. I am honestly surprised if this is the case, especially in Eastern Europe where people are very aware first hand of the pervasiveness of Russian regardless of the speaker's nationality or identity.
The restriction of not being able to liquidate their shares on the public market because of Stripe staying private for an unusually long time (Block (formerly Square), the other double-digit billion-dollar Silicon Valley payments company founded in 2009, went public in 2015). I imagine most Stripe employees that joined in 2019 and earlier expected Stripe to have gone public by now.

Arcan 0.6.2 – It’s all connected
Annecdote time: I live in Lincoln, UK - to the East everything is flat as a pancake until you get to the Wolds, and to the west we have the similarly flat floodplain of the Trent river. In between, we have the very steep Lincolnshire Edge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Cliff) and the prospective aeronaut could have jumped off Lincoln Cathedral (https://lincolncathedral.com)- way back when the highest building in the world. So ideal for developing a useful glider.

And of course Lincolnshire is famous for being "bomber country" in WW2 - weather and geography helping to get the horribly overladen beasts airborn.

I try to avoid getting injected with medication that I don't believe I need. This applies 100x to my kids. This is just a personal choice, I support anyone that wants to vaccinate their family againstcovid or the flu. Covid is unfortunately here to stay and mutates rapidly reducing vaccine effectiveness. Best defense where possible is to ensure you and your family are physically fit and healthy.

" I mean, being sick is worse than not being sick. Right?" Is it? Sometimes it's ok to get sick, its just part of being alive. I'm ok with my kids being under the weather for a few days while the long term effects of the vaccine are still being observed. It's impossible to know long term affects of a novel vaccine in such a short period. Both my kids got covid, 1 showed no symptoms the other had flu like symptoms of 4 days. Wife and I also had flu symptoms.
Google's use of Java came at enormous cost and aggravation of legal settlements to the tune of nearly 9 billion dollars on the line, however. [1] They won, but it would have had ugly implications for all of the rest of software if they had not. That was eleven years of legal wrangling where we were all wondering what the devil the outcome would be and for a while it was pretty ugly. The ultimate supreme court decision came as a surprise to many. Would you rather in their position ever do that again, especially in light of their new pay for play yearly subscription licensing scheme per computer for usage? [2] It's extremely limiting and costly for any organization to be tied to Oracle's product at this point.

As for salaries when looking at the data I stand somewhat corrected, you're probably right on compensation based on experience, too. It looks like the top three averages on the latest survey I can quickly find are Rust, Go, and Scala. [3]

I agree, but the way those mortgages are handled, they incentivize buildings to have a lot of long-term (5- and 10-year) vacancies, which means that it doesn't have to be particularly fast to convert them.
So this is not really a low-code system. But we manage a lot of our workloads using Netflix Conductor. Its a great platform that naturally promotes re-use of expensive functions. And it has a lot of resiliency features built in, which avoids a lot of code. There is a bunch of things it supports out of the box which has reduced the amount of code we write and over time we have built a repository of re-usable running workers (Netflix Conductor terminology) which makes building new use cases really fast.

But the real benefit we gained is the overall support time for issues during on-call. Without any additional tooling such as Datadog or other expensive products, we are able to manage support really easily with the UI that comes with it. So yes - we reduced complexity, save a lot of time, and are still able to code everything we must and this platform connects everything really well.
I've yet to have success explaining that very ex nihilo problem to crypto people* - even if you build out all of the last 100 years worth of financial system innovation, at the very bottom all it's doing is very efficient price discovery of people's Pogs collection. It will all fold as such.

* anecdotal, but there seems to a strong inverse correlation between crypto enthusiasm and education in economics or finance. Mostly libertarian leaning tech bros in my sample set.

This is exactly how I feel about anarcho-capitalism (also known in the USA as libertarianism), and ideology that seems devised by a 10 year old with no life experience. How a grown-up person can take this nonsense seriously is beyond me. Bewildering.
No, it's perfectly acceptable, even preferable, to refer to him as Handel.

The reason is he changed his name when he became a British citizen. He chose the anglicized version, George Frideric Handel. Note the spelling of his first and middle names, too.

It was Handel himself who chose to change his name, and he used it in letters and other communications, including his signature, and the inscription on his grave's monument at Westminster Abbey, which he commissioned himself [1].

In Britain, his English name is used consistently: The Handel museum (Handel & Hendrix), Handel House, etc.

You can of course call him by his German name, too; both are fine.

Google contractor says she was fired for talking about pay
The market caps of other Silicon Valley payments companies like Block (formerly Square) and PayPal peaked in Q1-Q3 2021 before declining in Q4. So if Stripe went public before Q2 2021 (to account for 6 month lockup period), their stock-holding employees should have been able to enjoy the opportunity to profit very nicely on their RSUs.
Often times, when a mistrial is declared and a retrial occurs, prosecutors will change strategy. Additionally, rulings from the previous trial are not automatically carried over, so suppressed evidence (for example) can be potentially displayed during a trial if the judge rules differently.

Another factor, which is more common in state courts, is the lesser charge consideration. Upon a retrial, the judge can instruct the jury to find a defendant guilty of a lesser crime in lieu of the originally charged crime. For example, manslaughter instead of murder.

Overall it’s obviously stacked against the defendant in federal court. Adding in unlimited retrials basically guarantees a defendant will be found guilty eventually.
Thoughts on skin tone and text descriptions (2021)
Heretic take on this: Block first, figure out later. This is how we approach most technical issues anyways.

So take /etc/hosts or little snitch or whatever and hard block .google., googletagmanager etc. - all sorts of domains that you come across from google.

Then, when you run into something that doesn't work, figure it out at that moment.
14/18. Yes, a lot of the world has improved a lot from a very low base. That does not infuse me with optimism, though, particularly for Europe and the US.
I’ve moved away from Chrome and Google Search. But I’m struggling to move away from Gmail, especially since this email is linked to so many critical official accounts (bank, government agencies)

Any solutions to make the transition easier outside of manually updating email everywhere?

It's Rota's 10th point, on ageing, that's ringing in my ears. I'm the oldest person in the room far too often (and the population growth of recent decades serves to increase the effect and maybe even accelerate its onset) and I can absolutely attest, with the benefit of belated hindsight, to Rota's observation that this transformation happened overnight in a simple erasure of a former life. I'm searching for any indication whether I can see how to formulate any potential insights from my recollection of my time prior to this moment, for the purpose of possible improvements in approach before this life event, but I'm rather lost in thoughts about my experience with the latter half of the ageing phenomenon which has never been so succinctly put.

Rota encourages you in your increasing age to enjoy being regarded as a institutional being. Possibly this needs to be updated in countries where there's been institutional and government scaling creep, because being perceived as institutional and bureaucratic (which effects I could already create too long before qualifying for Rota's advice) in my recent experience creates more difficulty than value with younger folk.

Edit: forgot now inserted that what I have been reflecting on is whether there's better ways leading up to becoming a overnight old aged institution .

> What Rust web libraries/frameworks do you use and recommend?

This might not be a satisfying answer for you, but I use my own framework. Its main selling point is that it can be compiled in two modes: during development it has zero dependencies and is blazingly fast to compile (it has its own minimal HTTP implementation, its own minimal executor, etc.), and for production it switches to use production-ready crates which everyone else uses (`hyper`, `tokio`, etc.)

Personally I'm not a fan of most frameworks which are commonly used in Rust webdev. The reason for that is twofold:

1) Most of them suffer from what I call the npm-syndrome, with hundreds of dependencies out of the box. Case in point, the minimal example from Warp's readme pulls in 146 crates.

2) They're often really complicated and have a lot of magic. I prefer simple functions with explicit control flow instead of layers upon layers of generics and macros stacked upon each other.

(DISCLAIMER: The following is purely my personal opinion; I'm not saying one approach is objectively better than the other, just stating what I prefer.)

For example, in Warp the way you add compression is by stacking a filter on top of your route:

let examples = warp::path("ex")
.and(warp::fs::dir("./examples/"))
.with(warp::compression::deflate());

In my framework you have an explicit function through which every request goes through, so if want to add compression you just call a function which takes a request and returns it:

fn deflate(response: Response) -> Response { ... }

async fn server_main(request: Request) -> Response {
let response = ...;
let response = deflate(response);
//
return response;
}

There's no magic and you can clearly see exactly what's going on, and you can also easily add new transformations without the need to become a trait astronaut.

If you were an optimistic science fiction writer, any ways in which this may change ordinary lives for the better?
I don't bother with spam filters. Yeah I get some spam but it's not worth missing emails. Gmail has gotten really bad about throwing away legitimate email btw so I wouldn't say even theirs is good. Much better IMO is address tagging (x+y@z.com) so you can block a tag when people sell your address.
To be unfair to the store, they are probably just being stupid.

Not giving the shipping address to the “customer” is just dumb. I think it’s good to protect people from abusive spouses and parents, but if someone is using their credit card and impersonating them then that’s not quite right.

I also think it’s more likely to have identity theft than to have a spouse trying to find the new address where a mattress was sent.

My theory is that the store was trying to protect their sale and was gambling that with less info the real person would not be able to cancel the order. So short sightedness.
Quote: "Schulte is now confined at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has several child pornography charges pending against him that stem from the FBI raid on his Manhattan apartment on March 15, 2017."

Now that's just textbook setting up a patsy. If I had any doubt that the guy is innocent this one cleared that for me. I mean, at this moment, this is plain obvious it's just a CIA setup getting rid of a "no" man. They need them spineless, not actual thinkers.
Historians' hypothesis that Judas existed is predicated on an assumption that Jesus existed. That stands on extremely thin ice. There are no reports from anyone who claimed to have seen Him, not even the authors of the Gospels.
Appreciate this is a hobby project to learn Rust in, but for those who want similar functionality without installing additional dependencies, you can already do this in `vim` by selecting a directory to open instead of a file.

For example

vim ~

vim /etc

It has more or less the same UI as the one in this Show HN but with the added feature of opening any files you select.
The theoretical stack required for successful IC design very much guarantees it wouldn't remain at steampunk.
Directus has served me well for a couple usecases, sepcially for back office apps. Plus the fact that you can extend it with express/nodejs is another good deal.

In terms of productionizing it, you can pick any postgres migration system and use that to maintain the schema,and use directus only for the crud/adminui layer.

Can recommend a try.. the hosted free version even before you decide to self host.
Not at all. My point is life doesn't move along party lines.
True, but one could also easily find someone with an optimistic take. Tons of utopian science fiction from the 60s, say. Not so much today. That's why I made this thread.

One problem with convention is that it isn't discoverable. At least config files guide you to where to look for stuff.

Unless your PhD is very special, Olympiad requires different knowledge then what you do when doing PhD in math. Plus, Olympiad trains you to be proficient at solving known issues in 4 hours span. PhD trains you to be good at solving unknown issues for months/years.

If you are good in Olympiad style solving problems and have that months/years long endurance, you are likely to do well at PhD. (I know a guy who was good at Olympiad and completely sucked at anything that required longer attention span and was not fun to him as Olympiad was).

If you are good PhD student, you could likely train for Olympiad and do reasonably well. However, it may be quite possible you wont never be as fast or that you will find it not fun.
Fastmail will support your domain name and has a very good importer from Gmail. You don’t have to transition everything all at once. One thing that helps is to use different apps to access Gmail (like the official app) and Fastmail (your phone’s built-in Mail app), and if anything arrives @gmail.com, either unsubscribe or update the address.
I once spoofed my buddies with a pop-up that asked: "Are you an idiot?" Then they are prompted to answer "Yes" or "No." Whenever the mouse pointer hovers over "No," it immediately switched to "Yes."
