Knowledge management.

To put it on scifi-like phrases : "The universal knowledge repository of humankind". Or "imagine if we can extract the entirety of knowledge that stored inside a certain person brain, then store it in the machine. So everyone else could access that knowledge."

Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, social media platform, search engine and the Internet come close, but still there are rooms for improvement. Especially in "discovery" part and "overall structure" within a body of knowledge. Sure, there are quality knowledge content, but they are mostly spread out and undiscoverable and very unstructured.
We can’t do parallelism, only concurrency on a cognitive level. Think of your brain like the CPU, while your appendages can be thought of as some PCIe connected device. The CPU can send tasks to those and given a well-known pattern it can execute them autonomously (e.g. you can walk without actively thinking about it. But if there is dog shit on the streets you want to avoid you will have to look up and allocate CPU time to the task)

So as a free-speech absolutist, would you let anyone walk into a Starbucks and start shouting about anything they wanted? Would it be okay for them to write a manifesto on the chalkboard next to the barista?

Starbucks is a privately owned location and has the right to enforce behavioral standards or kick people out. Social Media is the same. Privately owned and can set their own standards.

The internet has plenty of space for people to post their opinions on their own servers. They are annoyed because if you take away social media, you make it harder for them to get an audience.

The Rust Core Team is neither ignorant nor stupid. Furthermore you can't find one of them that doesn't know both Haskell and Idris well I more than suspect at this stage in the proceedings.

They are completely aware of the necessity of separating effects from computations if one truly wanted to create a "safe" programming language that was in the critical path of the mainstream. Actually doing this is a fairly high bar modulu all the memory-safety nonsense in the talking points deck. It would create roughly no people who had a low-friction migration path from TypeScript to Rust, which is diametrically opposed to having a menacing mob at ones disposal.

Rust is halfway between the polar points articulated by Paul Graham: it's neither designed for it's serious users (though they pretend to like it) nor it's audience who it openly condescends to.

As for the scary effects of having a programming language committee control more votes than 4chan on internet forums in general: yeah I don't know how that's going to play, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like it.

To me, Figma is a as big as it is because it's a good product that is accessible.

Sketch only runs on Mac, GIMP is a completion for Photoshop, Illustrator comes with a hefty price tag. I've tried others like Inkscape/Krita but either the UI are complicated, or my installs keep breaking for no reason.

Meanwhile you can open Figma everywhere(even though sometimes buggy - but a refresh fixes it most of the time). It's performant enough. And its UI/UX is simple enough that most people can get around relatively quickly. Not to mention its free tier.
Python is an amazing language. It's basics are very easy to learn and I'd like to think it doesn't feel like a incomprehensible sorcery to the beginner.

But even for that, it's not a toy language as clearly evident by this example.
I've spent much of my career writing C++, which I consider an even more difficult language to work with than Rust. But even so, it gets used a lot for problems where performance or a low memory footprint are more important than developer productivity or memory safety.

Rust excites me because programs written in it can have similar memory safety to GC'd languages, but have similar runtime characteristics to C++ programs. I can use it to solve the same problems I previously needed C++ to solve, and also new problems where bullet-proof memory safety is a requirement.

I've been a quiet cheerleader for the language for the past 10 years because it's been the only language with community momentum that fits the niche that I care about. But I won't be hurt if some other language with similar runtime and safety characteristics to Rust replaces C++; I'll consider that a win.
The alternative is having the government decide whether or not a private company can block a particular person for a particular reason.

Everyone is generally ok with companies blocking content that is irrelevant/off-topic, but there is a very, very large gray area. Do you want the government deciding what is acceptable?

Both peltiers (look for thermoelectric coolers on Amazon/Newegg) and phase change coolers are used by PC enthusiasts, but it’s not that common because regular liquid cooling is good enough for everyday use, and you don’t need to waterproof everything to protect against condensation when the cooler gets below the dew point.

Would it be more ethical not to pay? I don't get it.

Interview them for free, you're making money without compensating them. Interview them and give them part, you're exploiting them by underpaying them. Interview them and give them all profits, you're enabling their addiction. Give away the non-ad revenue, you're just abusing a tax writeoff. Don't give it away, you're enriching yourself.

Your economic ideology seems quite fluid, and seems to lack internal consistency.

Others replied already, but I'll chime in too.

There's "testing"

* manual during development

* automated testing

And there's "testing"

* smoke checking processes in production

In most cases, the "test in production" is more of a "validation" that end to end experience works. And there probably shouldn't really be much of a way to distinguish between a "test" in production and a "validation" of the purchase process.
It’s not exploitative to pay people for their time. It’s basic decency.

There’s three options for remuneration.

1. Pay nothing

2. Pay them for their time

3. Give them a large cut

If the contention is that they may be junkies then 3 is probably not a great idea, better to give the money to charity.

If the contention is that it’s exploitation then surely 2 is less exploitative than 1.

In the end, giving people a voice who don’t have one currently is the complete opposite of exploitation.

What is that thing about vectors that Haskell and python people agree on, but not rust people? I'm genuinely intrigued...
When I started learning programming 25+ years ago, I started a tetris clone. I was learning Pascal (Borland's TP 7 anyone?) as well as creating the game. Took me 2 months and was a smash hit among my colleagues at Uni. Next I did 5-in-row (Tic-Tac-Toe's more interesting big brother), which was another smash hit among the same colleagues. They were preferring playing those games instead of listening to the undergrad when we were in laboratories. Still have the source codes for both games somewhere. Good times.
That's true, western government have an incentive to keep their power and don't do anything..

I wouldn't swap my incompetent western government for China, but the Chinese dictatorship definitely has long term vision.

I think eliminating the government and letting companies come up with initiatives (and be rewarded in cash) is the only valid alternative to a dictatorship.
I think if you couldn't make a ready-made image you'd use a Docker container with everything in it instead. Though then I don't know how you'd use spot instances, because AFAIK you want those for the "whenever it's available" startup and can't really be logging into each one to start them up. If they let you run a container, presumably they let you run other commands to set stuff up as well?

This kind of depends on the provider, but it's mostly an implementation detail. The main crux is a broker and a queue, I use Dramatiq (the site is written in Python) and it works great.
It's your right to have an opinion, it's my right not to have to listen to it.
Censoring and moderating and content, as it relates to this lawsuit, is very expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if it ranks pretty high in their cost chart. The only reason that social media platforms do content moderation is to manage the financial (advertisers), and the political risk. Well, if the politicians and the courts tell them they can't moderate political stuff, then the political risk has been removed. All that remains is the financial risk.

Advertisers aversion to controversy is based on, I assume, their adherence to cultural norms. These norms are fluid. So I actually think these laws will give them the cover they need to stop doing something that they would prefer not to do. I also believe that we'll be litigating this for eons.

As I have on numerous occasions. I routinely celebrate Rust as the language popularizing the notion of "constraints as power", search for it if your don't believe me, but I with equal frequency get Flying Fucking Rust Gangbang Battalion attacked for stopping short of "Rust is the programming language of the God Emperor himself".

Depends. Do you burn tons of wood every day as my neighbor for a daily barbeque or 10 hours in a row in your smoker? Does the smoke go into my sleeping room in the summer? I'd rather prefer if you didn't. Once in a while? I have to accept it (and might to a barbeque once in a while, too).
Have you seen the typical social media censorship (bans, deletions, shadowbans... no explanations... secret forbidden words lists...) and appeals process lately? It makes 1984 look like a church camp.

At least the government has checks and balances. And a working appeals process. And is, ostensibly, democratically determined.

Yes, I prefer the government here.
The interviewer is a bit of a "photography narcissist" and basically just created the channel to have interesting people to photograph. The interview angle was added later, and it wasn't something he cared about initially.

The impression I get is that it's best not to explore his motivations too much, as they're quite disappointing compared to what he's been able to create.

As far as I'm aware, organizations like the American Nazi Party or the National Socialist Movement (United States) are legal in the US. Even Germany failed to ban its neo-Nazi party (the National Democratic Party of Germany) despite the court acknowledging that its goals are anti-constitutional and similar in nature to historical National Socialism. As long as you color within the lines, it is possible to be an open Nazi in most places.
I've been wondering about a technical solution to this problem for a while now. It seems like a properly distributed social media network would still need moderation... but who is to say everyone has to use the same moderators? What if we distributed the task of content moderation and allowed users to subscribe to a moderation team the same way they subscribe to a friend's updates? In this way, users could tune their own bubble rather than being strictly required to adhere to a centralized set of guidelines.
A classic case of correlated failures. If you have multiple redundant systems, but anything that damages one system is also likely going to damage others, then a failure is much more probable than you would expect based on the level of redundancy.

In this case the redundant systems were the watertight compartments. The engineers thought the ship wouldn't sink because it was unlikely for five of them to fail at the same time. But they forgot just how likely it was that any incident (e.g. an iceberg collision) that damaged one compartment would likely also damage many others.

It is also clear from all the reviews, there is an Apple PR review policy happening to not mention anything about the Modem. Which is Qualcomm X65. I know 5G is useless and Qualcomm is evil on HN, but the modem is still a pretty damn impressive engineering.
What's interesting to me is that there's nothing stopping one country from deciding to do it. Canada, USA, Russia, even Denmark (via Greenland), Finland, Norway, Sweden or any nation near the south pole.

Just as there's no legal framework to force countries to not make the climate warmer, the same goes for cooling the climate.
> It's the only platform I've seen that focused primarily on text instead of photos, which was a unique niche and opportunity.

I have created such a platform since CL killed their personals and you can find it in my account history. Since I've already mentioned it once in this discussion I'd rather not do so again lest I be mistaken for a lowly shill.

Photos are not permitted in posts for multiple reasons. One is to emphasize the content of the post body. (Another reason is that I don't have the wherewithal to vet whether any given photo depicts someone of 17 or 18 years' age but I digress.)

> So as a free-speech absolutist, would you let anyone walk into a Starbucks and start shouting about anything they wanted?

Starbucks is on private property.

> Would it be okay for them to write a manifesto on the chalkboard next to the barista?

The Starbucks chalkboard is privately owned.

>Social Media is the same. Privately owned and can set their own standards.

No it isn't. Anyone can log into Twitter and Facebook and see tweets and posts. They're public squares that are closely related to a mall rather than a private Starbucks location.

> The internet has plenty of space for people to post their opinions on their own servers.

Up until other big tech companies like CloudFlare decide they don't want to be associated with you and stop offering you ddos protection.

> They are annoyed because if you take away social media, you make it harder for them to get an audience.

Exactly! And that's why Twitter, Facebook, and Google should be treated as public squares. It's not fair that one group can access a public resource that others cannot.
The toughness claims seem a bit overstated in some contexts, e.g. the paper linked in the post compares it to the average toughness but doesn't compare to other outliers not suspected of being artificial, while the Wikipedia article for CNEOS 2014-01-08 compares to other outliers but uses the the high end of the strength estimate.

I think trying to retrieve it is a good idea, but I also get a whiff of motivated reasoning in most articles describing how unique it is.
It's not the only reason. Without any moderation, sites would degenerate into cesspools that only cesspool dwellers would want to visit. Few site owners want their properties to be cesspools.
Interesting you mention Miro because this is the first time I’ve heard them come up in the figma discussion.

Personally I think Miro can give them a run for their money and create a competitor on top of their existing product (if they choose too). Because the Miro collaboration is identical to figma with the only difference being Miro isn’t targeting product design. Their web app is just as smooth as figma and I could totally see them building out their offering to compete.
I'm unclear that this isn't a self referential attempt to redefine the centre rather than a genuinely held view.

Dune: A new (hoppy) JavaScript and TypeScript runtime
I would like to share a project of mine that I’ve been working on for over 10 months now and I recently open-sourced. It’s a (new) runtime to run JavaScript and TypeScript programs.

Disclaimer:

Dune was built for fun and experimentation and even though I'm always trying to improve it, is not trying to compete with production-ready runtimes like Node.js and Deno.

Motivation:

I was at a point about a year ago where I wanted to learn more about Node.js' internals and I wanted to use Rust to build something challenging to stress-test my skills, so I said to myself why not combine both and try to build a simple runtime. It turns out building a JS runtime is quite a difficult task.

Also, it turned out to be a nice educational project for new people willing to enter the JS/TS runtime space (and how v8 bindings work) since the design and codebase are way more simple than Node.js and Deno.

Contributions are welcomed and any feedback is appreciated.
Looks really nice. Kudos. I've been looking for something like this.

Question:

1) Is it OSS?

2) Do you have a privacy statement?

I ask because - and I understand you're not Amazon, etc. - I don't like the idea of my reading habits being tracked. I would presume, you're not interested in that either. But seeing it in writing, and knowing the code is auditable isn't a bad thing either.

Again, well played.

>> Immediately stops making sense when you try to scale it to anything beyond what would be possible sourcing from basically walkable distances.

More than walkable distances, I think the problem is the population density. It escales until the population is so high that you must reuse the same spot before the tree grow back. How many years you must wait to reuse the same spot? Does the owner plant new trees or they grow naturally? Are you burning the leftovers?

I think that similar arrangements were usual, but the idea was to cultivate some crops for a few years after removing the trees. Are you skipping the cultivation phase? Is the land bad for crops?

That's not really the paradox of tolerance. At least not the version attributed to Popper.

The relevant quote from The Open Society and Its Enemies is:

> But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

It's about the right to suppress those who leave the arena of debate and move to extra-judicial force, such as the extra-legal violence used to keep black people subdued during segregation (the work was published in 1945, segregation is very relevant).

What you described is people not wanting to work with people that hate them.
> It seems a bit off to me to claim it's a superset of C while banning the subset of C.

C++ is not a superset of C.
It probably looks the same because it doesn’t need to look different. And it seems CL wasn’t enticed by the cult of money that is Silicon Valley. Thus, their organization was not taken over by countless layers of middle management attempting to justify their own existence by adding a bunch of useless features.
