> Onboard new developers to Rust takes time and effort

The number of Rust developers is increasing rapidly, so this won't always be the case, and it's likely one of the only reasons not to use Rust in many green field projects.

The rapid adoption of Rust is also a reason to use it. If you publish an open source project using Rust then you're more likely to get contributions than you would using another language.
I show them the people that smoke because they want to look like those people on TV.

Smoking is mainly about trying to look cool, which in the end makes you look stupid. And once you see that, you cannot unsee it. My kids already see it.

And looking at the people that smoke, just confirms the theory.

This is not a picture of a real hospital. This is a picture of Mystic Falls hospital, from the CW show “The Vampire Diaries”. If I remember correctly, the guy on the left is an evil vampire hunter (the vampires in the show are mostly heroes, except when they’re evil and trying to take over the world), and the doctor on the right is maybe a vampire? Or she might just be friends with a vampire but not realize it. Or she gets killed by a vampire. I forget and refuse to look it up. It's a really stupid show.
I've only interacted with a small amount of rust code over the last 3-4 years, but it's all been a similar style to the above. I'd love to be proven wrong with any examples of well written understandable rust code though!

The most fascinating part of this whole story to me is just how few checks and balances there were in this company. Even without a board, did major investors not get his quarterly financials? If the leaked balance sheet was any indication of their level financial engineering capabilities, it's hard to imagine there weren't major red flags through most of 2021.
Been using Firefox since I switched to Debian full time for my Linux box and backend development. Really happy 4 them.

I built a blog in 1999, very small impact, but it was the most impactful thing I've built. I wanted to build a website to be Slashdot for librarians, and it was quite popular for years. I ended up starting my own webhosting business, and changed my entire career path. So it mostly impacted me, but I think there were some small ripple effects.
But the talk-page discussion of what is supportable and what belongs on those pages should not be censored by political opinion.

How many of those are active? How many of those were created for the purposes of twitter infrastructure and released as a side effect?

I'm sure that you can stop supporting the open source section. However, how much of their platform team is core to the product? How much is still required?
530M out of 600M of their revenue is from royalties, so from a certain perspective Mozilla's primary business is actually serving Google to FF users :/

They spend 111M out of 340M on managerial overhead, or about a third. This is on the higher side, but not too much out of line with the general industry (not saying that it's a good thing, but that's how the world works).

I have to wonder though, how much of that money is actually spent on Firefox? 530M in royalties, how much is that per FF user?
I don't know if it will happen, but a potentially good outcome here would be some regulation on the business practices of sufficiently large private companies in order to ensure they meet some basic level of corporate governance. Maybe they don't need the same level of scrutiny publicly traded companies have, but establishing minimum standards of conduct would help avert crises like this that can spread across entire sectors.
Why do you feel it is desirable for people to work as many hours as possible? Is that how to want to live your life? Have you no other pursuits or things you care about? What is all the work for, in the end?

FTX/Alameda had no company policies and in this case disclosed what they were going to do to investors. “Buyout binance’s stake”.

There is only so much the governments do to prevent you from wiring money to a sketchy opaque shadow bank in the Bahamas.
if the investors are willing to buy your shares from you, then why not? I've done secondary sales as early as seed. Unless you hide it from the board somehow, or you are explicitly prohibited from doing this, it's just a business transaction.
What I mean is that I don't think conflict is due to an inability to appreciate suffering as your first post suggested. It's fully intelligible to most people and in some respects to other animals, but empathy is situational and selective. So I don't think intelligibility is the only factor.
"Nobody's figured out yet how to provide a productive channel in a socialist system for humans' totally normal drives to compete and maximize individual outcome."

Nobody has figured out how to maximize individual outcome, or provide a channel for such pursuit. Period. Socialism has nothing to do with it. People are crap at managing more than a few dozen other people, even for the best managers who have ever lived. And the systems we have in place since agriculture took over are trying to manage many, many more people.

Most people in more developed countries live in partially socialist systems. This doesn't prevent them from getting private sector jobs, creating companies, and otherwise trying to pursue the maximization of their individual outcomes.

PingPlotter Announces New Quality Monitor Feature
Your argument is, abstractly, "Isn't censorship also speech?" My response is, no, censorship is not covered under free speech. This is a faulty supposition that many people who are generally opposed to free speech hold. Preventing people from hearing someone speak is self-evidently the most anti-free-speech act it is possible for a private individual to do.
"then you can go out of network and get covered"

I can get the care, but nothing in what you're describing sounds like what my paperwork details say. It indicates that any non-emergency services undertaken outside of their network will not be dealt with at all. I'm not sure how this is 'better' than what it used to be, with 'used to be' being last year's plan that would, at least, deal with services delivered out of network, with some % split up to a deductible.
I would just wait and see if you hear anything back from the email you sent today.

The reality with Amazon is that recruiters are swamped and have insane quotas to meet, they unfortunately lose track of stuff often.

On top of that, Amazon just laid off a bunch of people, and have publicly stated they plan to lay off a bunch more people. You may have been screwed by the hiring freeze, and basically signed up for an interview via an automated system with no real job on the other side.
Yet didn’t they lay off a lot of their next gen rendering platform team? Hmmm
I would. The work environment will be heavily loaded but I believe that should better out in a few months. From my limited reading, I think rewards are higher with meritocracy.
The cost and regulation of raising children is much lower overseas. It's rational that the US would be a net consumer of children and some of these other nations are net producers of children. Comparative advantage.

And I do mean consume. These adult immigrants pay taxes into the US without having benefitted from US taxpayer provided K-12 education themselves, and we get to consume their labor without having contributed to their upbringing.

It's honestly shocking people have kids at all in the US. Any random chucklhead can call and make up whatever they like to CPS. If you get divorced, you can actually be thrown in debtors prison if you can't come up with a certain amount even if you never even spent close to that amount on the child when you were married (see American dude who was taken hostage while contracted in Iraq, he was imprisoned upon return because he didn't pay CS while being a hostage to terrorists). If you let the kid walk to the park or home you may end up with criminal charges, nevermind both parents need to be busy at work to provide the standard of care CPS requires to not take away the children. And if you're a woman in some states and you find out the kid has debilitating disease you may be forced to go all the way to term knowing you're going to wreck their life and your own.

Don't apologize publicly. It's pointless. It only matters to people who spend their time on the Internet arguing over whether apologies are good (they never are).

How Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't: https://faultlore.com/blah/swift-abi/

Many programming languages list Swift as inspiration: https://www.val-lang.dev/

Rust's optional bindings are inspired by swift: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html
(Many people who worked on Rust also worked on Swift, like the creator of rust)

The SwiftUI framework you mentioned uses inspiring syntax, which has been tried do be emulated (Jetpack Compose, Druid). However, nobody got it as magical as Swift did. The way SwiftUI Syntax combines pl theory and developer usability is amazing.
That's more reasonable.

Microsoft once had an internal rule that anyone in engineering who supervised less than 100 people had to code. Is that still the case? This looks like a way to find the people who aren't doing that.
I read the article, I'm just pointing out that asking someone who is provoked by an intentionally provocative article — even if just for clicks — is silly. Not to mention that "white" or "black" has different connotations than "white boy" or "black boy".

Worked on software used in cash registers owned by Target, Walmart, the US Postal Service, and various large European and Asian equivalents. Comparing the previous model's UI to the new one was similar to the jump from command line UIs to GUIs, in that they were easier to understand without having to know a bunch of obscure commands. The company did a lot of work to ensure they were also fast to use like the old text-based ones. It really made the obscure cases easier for cashiers with little training to handle.

Sometimes. Now consider when this individual cannot ever reply directly to any question in any forum, and you even get complaints from other teams that every meeting is like pulling teeth.

“Bob, did you deploy your API to stage yet so we can start experimenting with it?”

“Well, this version isn’t final yet… there’s a few things I might want to do differently. It won’t be deployed to production for at least another 2 weeks. The whole thing is actually a lot trickier than it seems…”

“Bob, is this on stage or not?”

“Oh, yes”
Ranting isn't inherently bad or good communication, whether or not you like the rant. I believe the thing the op is talking about is really incompetent communication that you see all the time in tech e.g., far worse than you're thinking you see here.
Pretty common. With startups waiting ten years to IPO, many founders and employees would "take money off the table" along the way.

Just buy directly from a private seller. I've never haggled more than 10 minutes over the price of a car (hint, most of them don't like it any more than you do). Make a fair offer, hand over the cash, and drive home. It's the only way I do it now.
Of course there is.

I detailed cars at a dealership and my friend detailed cars at carmax when we were young.

Used car dealers are bottom feeders in the car sales. They generally have crappier cars than big dealers. I'm sure there are exceptions. When I worked at one they did shady fixes and would never purchase car from one.

CarMax performs multi point inspection. They have their own detailers, paint and repair shops. CarMax knows exactly what they are doing and their business model is sustainable.

Purchasing cars ala carvana is insane. In the car groups people often talk about offloading cars with issues to carvana and them sending a tow truck to pick it up. Zero inspections.

Very. It's usually not this egregious though. Founders might want stable finances for their family or the ability to buy a reasonable home, but VCs want them to keep going, so VCs allow founders to cash out some of their equity so that founders don't go for an exit for the sake of their personal finances.
The happy path is 401160 through 401185. The unwinding code no more dilutes the code cache than any other subsequent and possibly unrelated functions in memory.

The unwinding code is not there to make it faster since it's generally reached after walking the stack twice. It's moved out of the happy path to make the happy path faster since it doesn't dilute the instruction cache and doesn't hit the pipeline.

What a horrible sentiment.
You’re right, pCloud is not a bad alternative! I remember being annoyed by the password prompt for the encryption feature, but another user here wrote that they only need it once after every restart, which seems fine to me now. Back when I tried it for the first time (2 years ago) I decided against it because the OneDrive migration was not fully working (many files were skipped and it wasn’t transparent which ones or what was the reason), and the support couldn’t help me figure out any viable solution to migrate all my files. Nowadays with the NAS the migration would have been easier, I suppose.
If they can’t carry their inventory, they’ll go to another retailer through wholesale auction or direct buy, and show up for sale elsewhere at market prices. Carvana even owns an auto auction chain, which they bought to secure access to inventory but now might use to preferentially liquidate.
I believe AOSP is pretty de-googled.

Yup.

It's just not worth it. Panels have become so cheap and productive that you don't need to have them track the sun. A motor and a swivel are already prohibitively expensive. They also introduce a lot of failure modes to a system that is otherwise low-maintenance.

It's much, much, much cheaper to just plonk down a few extra square meters of panels instead.
Nothing groundbreaking. But during my few years in game dev I built a relaxing game that had a spiritual component to it. Was one of my first games so.. plenty of flaws from a game design perspective. But one day I got an email from a player thanking me because the game helped immensely during a difficult time. Made my day... actually, I still think about once in a while. So, I guess you can say it was impactful for one ;)

Did a lot of work on Wikipedia with media, usability, and internationalization. As with all such things that merely facilitate volunteers, it’s hard to say what’s mine or put dollar values on it. But it’s touched at least a billion lives, and facilitated a large fraction of a media library that will likely outlive me.

I’ve worked on minor stuff that was foundational to Google’s commercial offerings, but I think that isn’t as high impact and probably someone else would have done that as well or better. For the Wikipedia stuff, for good or ill, I owned some of those decisions.

This is an opinion you could only have if you’ve never raised or even spent time around children.

How would your parents have prevented you from unsupervised access? Do you think you’d have gone along with restrictions?

Quickly changing corporate situations offer huge growth opportunities to folks who otherwise would be stuck grinding away at the corporate ladder. Instead of being stuck on a team managing a button in some flow, you might end up navigating into a team that works on core caching, or something else you've been interested in but never had the opportunity to work on. Some folks will be willing to take a slight pay cut if they can leverage it for huge future career growth. That's a big If though, with the way the optics around Musk's situation is right now.
It was certainly much more common the last few years. However, those transactions are more of "hey investor, let me sell you some of my shares in this round" and not whatever complex behavior is described in this article.

Given what we know now, those financials were probably completely wrong.
But we end up having to make other arbitrary assumptions about what happened at the very beginning of the big bang or about multiverses that we have no scientific justification in making. Calling the observed physical constants 'arbitrary' is a very mathemetician-like move. It is true that they are free variables in the sense that they cannot currently be derived--mathematical models of the universe must include these constants as hard-coded values. But the word arbitrary implies that they could have been something else, and we really don't have justification for that.

We write the modeling program and somewhere we write

FINE_STRUCTURE_CONSTANT=1/137;

It is very tempting to instead write

./my_universe.sh --fst=0.007 ...

The code does the same thing, but as far as we know that constant is as invariable and intrinsic to what it means to be a universe as PI is to what it means to be a circle.

It is fun to think about but it can't produce scientific results. It's epicycles, coming up with more complicated stories that over-fit for a singular observation.
Great, well written article, I wish your father a speedy recovery.

Anecdotally, when I was in the hospital (much more minor, at a much younger age), they kept waking me up at 3am to draw blood and clean and do god knows what, and the light outside my room was constantly on. It felt... at best annoying, at worst, downright jarring and disruptive. It certainly feels like the sleep and rest parts of recovery and care need to be revisited.
