I don’t think it actually happens in Rust in practice, or only very rarely. I was more talking about the hypothetical case for any static analysis of nontrivial program properties as in Rice’s theorem.

Yeah, I think some apriori knowledge on data structures, algorithms, big O, pass by reference, pass by value, etc. is going to be of strong benefit. I was once working on a legacy Java code base where the prior programmer employed an ArrayList for all of his data structure needs when other data structures would have been much more suitable. That was painful. That said, the long list of academic references originally posted may be of little practical value for most software developers.
It’s cute that JS/web devs are finally having a revelation about RPC, but it’s doing a disservice saying RPC hasn’t been taken seriously yet. Plenty of industries have been using RPC for decades
Given their profit margins are 3x industry average and with Berlin and Austin ramping up seems like Tesla is going to have a fantastic 2023, 2024.

The Cybertruck is going to have an incredible margin as well due to it's simplistic design.

If you have Volt and want a very reliable without troubles EV only substitute that is good value, take a look at Nissan Leaf. Yes there is talk it will be replaced in 2025, however it is the oldest and most dependable EV out there, current 2nd generation is exceeding the 1st in reliability, which was already the most reliable EV by far. It’s not sexy or has cool flat screens or futuristic controls. Instead it just works, well, and for low price. Some passengers don’t even realize they are in an EV until they notice it’s too quiet. I’m sure this comment will tick off lots of other fanboys who will come bashing it, but it’s nonsense.
As an aside, the America's cup anecdote is related incorrectly. "On August 22 [1851], the [U.S.-built schooner] America joined 14 British ships for a regatta around the Isle of Wight." It won by a good margin and the Queen Victoria quote was at this race not at a later first America’s Cup race. (named after the schooner and not the country).

Clearly not. But it’s enjoyable.
I like some parts of the essay but I read "cute name" as "cutesy name" and cringe.

Also the "make common cases easy" with the example of "find" isn't so convincing. Find has a complete but complicated set of args, difficult to remember but cover every usage case, rather than just the common ones. ffmpeg is even more extreme that way. So I just use shell aliases to handle the common cases, rather than designing a whole different program for that.

Also, man pages are much worse than texinfo docs that you can actually navigate! They worked well when they were literally one printed page, but are a terrible format for complicated programs. Trying to find anything in the bash man page is a frequent exercise in frustration for me.
Feels like the disruption could be identifying a subset of the 1000s of features used that a cover a large enough part of the market and solely focusing on that.

Instead of 1000s of features, have 40 good features. Limits how many customers you can get, but should lower development costs as well. There's probably a sweet spot that works.
> Things like "kernel error reporting" doesn't exist as discrete element.

I'm not familiar with kernel development in general or Linux in particular. I would have expected there to be an error reporting subsystem, so that if a given subsystem fails the failure is reported to the error reporting subsystem (which hopefully exposes a more modern interface than serial cable), but this might be naive on my part.

> For all kernel knows, the only way to get something to the outside world might be through USB Ethernet adapter and connection that is tunneled by userspace TUN device, at which point essentialy whole kernel must continue to run

Again I'm missing context on this discussion. For all I know this could be an error originating with a driver, since rust support for Linux is for driver development now. It would make sense to me that an error in the GPU driver doesn't prevent the ethernet driver to report the bug

I can fault them for trying if their failure makes it harder for people to access the site. At the end of the day there’s a fixed dev budget and if it’s spent on one thing and misses other important things that’s bad. It is nice that they have good intentions and it’s better than nothing. But they should be faulted so they can correct the fault and do better next time.

Interesting claim implied here, and maybe some truth in it, that there
are highbrow code cultures that attract 'better' types of hacker to
the club.

Personally I've never felt ashamed to roll up my sleeves and get some
oil in my beard with C++. Perl, Python or really filthy Bash
scripting.

But having learned Lisp (SICP) back in the 80s, It does sometimes feel
like I took Latin and Greek at prep-school, and ever since have been
slumming it with my working class coder pals.

Total geek snobbery for sure. But is there anything in it? Please say
no.
You claim the 2016 election was not hacked. This is demonstrably false:

So these individuals are like potential spies inside the organization? To whom would they report?

I've seen a considerable number of people hired who seemed to have no productivity but the idea that they might have a reporting function outside the usual "chain-of-command" (e.g., like communist party political officers in the military) never occurred to me.
No its not. You are misinformed or you are buying into some twitter non-sense.

Yes, Tesla is buying batteries from Panasonic. They are also buying batteries from LQ and CATL. Nobody questions that.

In addition to that Tesla has its totally own production process and chemistries. These are not shared with LG, CATL or Panasonic. Its own fully owned battery factory and research facility in California. They are currently building a battery plan in Austin and in Berlin, these are fully owned and operated Tesla plants.

These plants have their own manufacturing processes developed in-house. They even built the machines them selves. A lot of this is done in Germany in a former well known German supplier that Tesla bought outright like 5 years ago. They also bought a company in Canada that makes the battery filling machines and pumps in Canada.

If you still think we are in 2014 and Tesla is just being supplied by Panasonic, you have not been paying attention.

You’d be surprised how often people fail to consider things like versioning when building APIs. Yes, they absolutely should be considered from the beginning.

I’ve been burned in the past by RPC (mainly SOAP), but will take a deeper look and try to keep an open mind. Building “REST” APIs is damn tedious.

Aren't users breaking their acceptable use policy (AUP) with the EV OEM when they do this? Legally speaking, users are giving you their username password to see their vehicle stats for personal consumption, but you are also making them sign a T&C that says it's ok for you to sell their data to B2B operators for revenue? Sounds fishy to me.
I wanted to love Lisp after learning about it in "Gödel, Escher, Bach", and then in PG's Blub essay (which is why I'm a HN fan).

The syntax is just off-putting and I was never compelled to learn it in school, so I remain in algol-land. If time and focus allowed I'd do the SICP self study path but it's too easy to surf HN and Reddit instead.
I don’t think it’s that ambitious. Cambria is standalone, has colour pass through for mixed reality and has balanced the weight distribution better by using pancake lenses and putting the battery on the back. It will certainly be usable while sitting or standing still anywhere, although people will look at you weird if you do it in a coffee shop. It took Meta 3 years to get there from Quest 1 so I’d say given 5 years and some decent sales they could get it down to something that wouldn’t look too strange and would be comfortable enough to wear all day and would work while walking although I imagine that would pose similar risks as walking while using your phone. Instead of black rectangles we’ll be seeing ski-goggles everywhere.

I don't disagree. It is valuable because of all those things, and more. It is not valuable at all costs. But human life is the sine qua non (for now, without going into scifi territory).

I would argue that someone in permanent vegetative state is not much of a "human", mind you.
> I'm not saying that censorship is just or desirable. Just that it works.

But it doesn't, unless it is extensive/complete. It just seems like it does because censored media is constantly reassuring us that the censorship is working, and that all reasonable people enjoy it.

You can't destroy ideas by censoring them from the largest outlets, you have to perpetually search out the smallest outlets (e.g. open everyone's mail) to make sure that these ideas aren't still infecting people, multiplying exponentially. You can't relax anywhere, for a moment. The only surefire way to kill or silence ideas is to kill or silence the people who hold them. That means you have to have systems in place to detect stray ideas, and processes in place to eliminate them.

I played Stadia over 20mbps Wifi. It was flawless. I finished Tomb raider 1&2 and Metro exodus. Completely forgot I was streaming a game to my laptop after the first 5 minutes.

Google killed fiber rollout because they were forced out by other ISPs...

Issue with Stadia was Linux. Linux choked the entire platform. You had to get developers to port their game. If they used Windows they would have a solid platform with thousands of games. Instead they are at the mercy of "bribing" devs to port their game to Stadia.
You don't need upscaling for a streaming gaming service. DLSS is pointless for it because you can't possibly have framerates that would force you to upscale anyway.
I suspect there aren't many academic sources detailing the discrimination faced by deaf people, though there might be compilations of first-hand accounts. The deaf community is fairly insular.

My partner's father was born in India as the eldest of several boys. Despite his family being well-off, he was treated as a burden and most of his family refused to learn IPSL to be able to communicate with him. His mother and father weren't supportive of his personal, academic, or business pursuits; his brothers all went to prestigious foreign universities and became highly educated. He made his own way to Canada where he learned his 4th and 5th languages, ASL and English, and started a family with a deaf girl his family had arranged a marriage to. The man has gumption, but was never really able to escaped the poverty line.
> He's right. Not just for Common Lisp, either. But I just can't kick lisp. And on the other side of that coin, if I think I will only ever develop a project on a small team, the nimbleness of Lisp helps. I feel like Lisp is custom built for high functioning, high quality, low-head-count teams. I kinda feel like most of my projects into this category.

The original linked article is a promotion for Julia with some decent criticisms of CL.

CL has a special place in my heart. I want to love it. I programmed in it, bought just about every book I could to learn about it, etc. But CL was just a huge time sink to do anything to me. Ignoring my (lack of) skill with it I found it was difficult to really find help (though the CL IRC channel is active and probably the nicest community in programming). Everything still felt strange to me 6 months in and even with other similarly good languages this usually doesn't occur. For example, with SBCL and Quicklisp it felt like even getting a database connection set up was pulling teeth.

I found the problem of having dozens of implementations hard to cope with as well. SBCL is a standard and it can be quick (sometimes as quick as C). But there's also Allegro, LispWorks, and several others. Each one of them has their own quirks you have to know. If I wanted to develop well on Windows you were pretty much siloed into LispWorks and the extremely high costs to use it. In fact, Allegro and LispWorks both make IDA Pro's pricing look reasonable and come close to rivaling some CAD software. Making SBCL work on Windows was kind of a pain but workable. But then you have to deal with the package managers like Quicklisp which are great...but so many extra steps to get stuff done. Finally, I found it extremely difficult to work with CL outside of Emacs (which I like a lot and am quite familiar) especially with my career forcing a choice between Sublime or Vscode.

I think CL should inspire similar languages. I fell in love with Clojure but dropped it because its community is dwindling. It's commercial uses have dwindled which made me sad. It also couldn't be compiled like other Lisps and lacked the "general purpose" feel to it (having chosen it's domain for concurrent programming I felt). I long for a popular, modernized lisp with all the benefits of the other lisps, except with a better package manager, a community united in a single direction, and lots of support.

Expenses + inflation has been outpacing income increases for many years now.

The ruling class seems oblivious to the sociopolitical implications of the imbalance. The 2016 election should have been an epiphany moment. Instead they pushed their heads deeper into the sand, and ratcheted up the rhetoric and distractions.

This isn't sustainable.
“I’m right and they’re wrong” is a unpersuasive argument, and doesn’t provide a foundation for deciding the rules in a pluralistic democracy. What best serves “human well being” is highly disputed. How do you create a framework for groups to cooperate democratically without agreeing in advance who is right?

The problem is that you’re begging the question. You’re assuming that maximizing individual freedom is what serves well being. Most humans disagree with that premise. Studies show, for example, that Christian conservatives are both happier and have more children than other Americans. Those are “objective” measures of “human well being.” Indeed, zooming out, nearly every highly individualistic, secular western society is in decline—to the point where they can’t even take care of their elderly population without importing religious Catholics from Latin America (in the US) or Muslims (Europe). “Ability to propagate one’s culture sustainably” certainly seems like at least one measure of success at serving human well being, no? And on that measure, modern "liberal democracies" are failing.

Now of course there are other ways to measure human well being, and liberal democracies do quite well on those measures. My point is that by 2022, it should be clear that people disagree on what constitutes a good life, and societal progress. In the last two decades, we've seen country after country reject secular liberal democracy. And even in the west, reaction is on the rise. A majority of Hindus, Afghans, and Iowans agree that San Francisco isn't their dream for the future of their own society. And if you want to dismiss that as "they're wrong and we're right," what you're advocating for looks more like a holy war than "liberal democracy."
I guess it doesn’t help that many Americans are white European descendants that live in subtropical/tropical/mediterrannean climates.
Compiler optimizations can actually improve developer productivity, because they allow developers to write clean but inefficient code that can be rewritten to near optimal form. For example, in Rust iterators are a very convenient and clear interface that are generally zero cost (sometimes even more efficient) compared to a manual loop implementation. But without optimization, they would be many times slower.
