It's all context-dependent. You're right that people shouldn't just drop into a project they don't understand and demand that all unsafes be factored out, but just because an unsafe block is internal and carefully vetted that doesn't mean it's totally fine and chill either.

Here's a recent example where an unsafe led to a memory corruption vulnerability in a thoroughly battle-tested codebase: https://www.graplsecurity.com/post/attacking-firecracker
Even if the narrative is good often times there are other higher priority issues the org is dealing with. You need to make sure the problem becomes a priority before you show up with the fire truck. Typically you can pre position yourself if you see it coming as long as you can stay disengaged enough that the initial fire isn’t blamed on you.

It's attitudes like this that have caused my wife and I to build our forever home in the middle of a a huge plot of land. The house will not be visible from the road and I'll be able to fire a gun in any direction without worrying about hitting anything or anyone. We've both grown weary of allowing our comfort to be dictated by neighbors and however they decide to behave on a particular day.
Not at all. I think it looks deceptively simple so programmers don't waste too much time learning it properly. But you can take up a good book (such as Joe Celko's) and set up a good foundation in a short time.

I’m confused at who you’ve decided to be angry at for this effect you are observing.

To the extent that investors are buying up perfectly good properties and leaving them vacant then you should blame the investor for taking inventory off the market and draining the supply.

This was happening a lot in Vancouver I believe, with embezzled funds from China—funny money that wasn’t actually seeking a return on investment, just a safe place to hide. It’s a serious problem in some areas and should be stopped.

However an investor buying a property to rent it does not change the supply/demand curves for livable housing in that market. They mostly are lowering the transaction costs of moving into the area by providing rental options.

Investors bidding against each other for houses to rent will only serve to take the profit margin of renting and assign a greater proportion of that value to the current owner of the house.

The investor bidding war is fundamentally limited by the demand in the rental market. Rental rates go down as more properties are converted to rents, and up as more people want to move to the area.

So blame the area for being too desirable, or the renters for being willing to pay too much rent.

The housing investors have some marginal effects on transaction costs and increased market efficiency, but the price level is being set entirely outside the investor’s domain based on the demand of people to actually live in that area, the occupancy rate, and the rate of new construction.

Is it possible that, then, programmers were not familiar with dozens of other languages? I notice this about the R language (1993), a derivation of S (1976): it is like a language from an alternate timeline in which syntax settled on other conventions but, at the time, the question wasn't closed.

Adam Curtis is great.

I recommend even looking into his older material, such as The Mayfair Set (won a BAFTA Award in 2000). Another older documentary of his that I recommend is The Way of All Flesh (1997) which is a rather remarkable story on HeLa cells with a depth I hadn't encountered before. To give you an idea of the subject matter, here's a quote from Wikipedia:

"HeLa cell contamination has become a pervasive worldwide problem – affecting even the laboratories of many notable physicians, scientists, and researchers, including Jonas Salk. The HeLa contamination problem also contributed to Cold War tensions. The USSR and the USA had begun to cooperate in the war on cancer launched by President Richard Nixon, only to find that the exchanged cells were contaminated by HeLa."

Some of his material is viewabled on BBC iPlayer if you have access to that. His older material can be challenging to find. You can download his complete collection via torrents.

From https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/rxm/src/master/ :

root > people, # "root" keyword starts the document
person > person, # maps table context to a node
.age > @age, # @ maps a column to an attribute node
.first_name > name/first, # maps a column to a node
.last_name > .../last, # ... reuses the previous node's path
account.person_id +> person.person_id, # +> performs an INNER JOIN
account > account, # context is now "account" node
.id > @id, # account id attribute
^, # pop stack to previous table context
address > address, # switch context to "address" node
.*, # glob remaining columns

The query produces:

It wouldn't take much to make that a JSON document.
Where else am I to share my feelings on personal or political topics? Work dominates my schedule. I can't reasonably isolate strong feelings to a peripheral milieu.

I agree that it is, by the explicit standards of corporate management, "completely inappropriate," but I think in the interest of a stable society, this is a standard we're obligated to violate.
No, I do not think competitive games are evidence of that. Do you have a reason to think that, or were you just being contrary?

I am not sure "good vibes" is a healthy super-ordinate goal among adults.
> BREIT is above $50b [0], which is basically enough to buy up literally all of the inventory for many housing markets combined.

That's a shocking figure, but there's multiple factors that makes it misleadingly shocking:

1. The $50B was raised over the last 5 years. The amount of cash they have sitting around to actually buy houses is much less.

2. I'm presuming that by "many housing markets" you mean different cities. Presumably the fund is interested in buying properties across the country, so it's not too surprising that the same amount of money can buy all the houses if they concentrated purchasing in a few select cities. It's like arguing that your local school district consumes too much food by pointing out that they can "buy up literally all the inventory for many supermarkets combined". That might be true, but it doesn't give me much information about scale.

3. The WSJ article says that fund buys "rental-apartment buildings, warehouses, office buildings, casinos and other property types". Comparing a pot of money designated for multiple purposes, against a subset of purposes is misleading.
I love how these paradigmas change every two years.
Interestingly, I think that almost all of the downsides listed in the article and in the comments go away if you use a good framework for creating microservices (example for this: [0]):

No internal glue code, no overhead by writing network interfaces, no slow HTTP calls (faster gRPC instead), no manual handling of asynchronous tasks.

Lots of great suggestions already. Off the top of my head, one not mentioned so far is Ocean Warriors (2016) about Sea Shepherd chasing an illegal fishing vessel across international waters. It's quite gripping as a documentary, but also does a good job of highlighting the Tragedy of the Commons that is international fishing and the failure of governments to prevent it.

No font should lack crossbars on the capital "i." That's just straight-up dumb. Nice to see that the font in question doesn't suffer from that mistake.

For some reason I had to try it twice before it worked for me. I started from a brand new collection the second time and followed Mozilla docs to the letter.
Microsoft has also added "suggested phrasing", which prioritizes concision even when it removes deliberately inserted uncertainty. In some cases, following its suggestions wouldn't even have resulted in coherent sentences. For a sentence of the form "Do $X, unless $VAR is true." had the recommend replacement "Do $X, unless $VAR.".
But "//1" is not a full URL, and any URL with "file:" is not "on the Internet".
it keeps the naming scheme consistent
Not SQL's fault. They probably wouldn't let you use macros either.
They have executive admins (or multiple) and others who handle all the details--and they also don't expect to grab a few hours off for sightseeing unless that's explicitly part of their schedule. Otherwise they're probably eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner with customers. And, of course, that's not really scalable and I imagine a lot of technical people would absolutely hate to be working that way.
Western Australia had a three year daylight saving trial imposed on us with short notice back around 1999.

Does anyone else think generics detract from the usefulness of Rust docs? I often hit walls on learning libs when trying to figure out what type to use when the API uses a generic. A non-generic flow might be like this: fn accepts param y. Param y is of type z. Docs for z shows it constructed with z::new(), or z { (fields }. When it's a generic instead, there's no link to click, and you're on your own to figure it out, possibly by browsing source code.

This is exacerbated by the same libs using minimal examples that don't show the code used in a function, struct etc where explicit types are required.
A counter or a timer is clearly no substitute for a log, that would be an absurd statement for me to have made - which is why I said no such thing.

A span as modelled by OpenTelemetry is a a bag of developer-chosen structured data containing a name, a timestamp and some auto-generated IDs to correlate it with others.

It is effectively an open standard for how to collect good structured logs - although it is currently not commonly pitched that way by either tracing advocates or structured logging advocates.

These are commonly used to create trace waterfalls, but can also be used to derive metrics or simple dev-debug output.

I have used this approach myself to great effect, and also spoken to a number of people who have also found success with such an approach - but currently the momentum of existing approaches (and the fact that traditional logging still works well-enough for most people) has not led to wide adoption
Except in ad hoc queries you shouldn't be using * at all so it isn't really an interesting problem to solve.

Oh, I wasn't accusing you of using jargon for jargon's sake, and nor do I believe that you were -- you used the appropriate jargon appropriately and correctly! And certainly representing graphs as matrices and then applying matrix math to them is valuable, I am absolutely not arguing against that.

I'm just taking issue with the (probably tongue-in-cheek!) framing of your "quick sketch": rather than merely demonstrate the connection ("hey look, PageRank uses this stuff!"), the sketch implied that if one knew theory about graphs and their representation as matrices, then PageRank is pretty obvious and falls out of the math (and then you could start a US$trillions business!). I was content to just leave it at that with a snarky version of "hey, sure, this math is relevant, but it wasn't a requirement to come up with the PageRank insight" -- but then I got triggered by your "anti-intellectual" comment. :)

So now I feel compelled to say, in case any impressionable young minds read this thread: that sketch (which I likely grossly misrepresented above) is a fantasy portrayal of how the insights behind technologies like PageRank come about; matrix knowledge isn't necessary (but not unhelpful, of course) to create PageRank or similar things. I've met too many (not necessarily you!) who tell themselves some version of this story: "PageRank? That's just the largest eigenvector the edge matrix" followed by some variant of "Those guys just got lucky! / Those guys just commercialized some known math! / I do math, and math can be worth billions!"

That story ignores the actual insights required to get to PageRank, even if you already know the theory; it ignores the hard work of actually building a company and commercializing such an insight.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my therapy session. </soapbox>

Cool idea. It's kind of silly that "Hacker" News doesn't allow hacking the comments section with useful bots. Why not let the community decide through comment voting?
Similar to "Alone in the Wilderness" I recommend a recent doco series "The Last Alaskans". Unlike most recent reality/doco style shows it's not the usual melodramatic, exaggerated rubbish. The characters speak for themselves and its allowed to "breathe". The TV series is inspired by the book "The Final Frontiersman" by Heimo Korth. Heimo is one of the characters in the series.
There has to be a bit of survivorship bias here, surely? There must be some things that we got right, but then promptly forgot all about because of everything else going on?
To be fair, I've often found that outside of programming contexts, people generally use/interpret "or" to mean xor, and otherwise will use more specific language (e.g. "and/or", "X, Y, or both"). It depends on context of course, but I think a big part of it is that it's somewhat common for the options presented to be literally impossible to both hold true (e.g. "I think either team A or B will win the Superbowl this year") or at least can reasonably assumed to be ("Have you decided what to order?" "I think I'm going to get either the steak or the salmon"). I don't think it's crazy to be willing to experiment with thinking outside the box when it comes to naming things given how hard we always talk about coming up with good names is.
It may be, but that does not disqualify it being "shortest URLs on the internet", I think. However, maybe it should not count if there is not a FTP server at that address, though.
Zillow home estimates are worth zero. Hence them eating a huge loss on their own home flipping business.

Your house would almost assuredly not sell for the 50% price increase that Zillow is claiming. Their goal is to get you to spend time on their website and shop for houses, and somewhat plausible, eye popping numbers help.

This person apparently hasn't met the kind of gamer who throws RGB lights everywhere they can find. Or seen the sheer number of aftermarket phone cases that come in every color and pattern you can think of. Color may be limited in the initial design of products, but it's alive and well in customization. Honestly, that might be the best place for it. Companies just have to produce a limited set of base models and then customers are free to choose their own personality on top of it. Or even change their minds; buying a new phone case or adjusting your RGB patterns is much cheaper than buying a brand new device.
