> Web3 communities are more like an organised crime gang or a cult or something

This is just not true at all. We discuss governance proposals in open forums, we submit requests for comments, we discuss pros and cons as community members, we sometimes debate vigorously, we sometimes are pretty unanimous. We submit code to Github or Gitlab and publish verified smart contracts to Etherscan for all to review.

Some communities that are interesting that I have participated in include:
ENS (Ethereum Name Service): https://discuss.ens.domains/
Rocket Pool: https://dao.rocketpool.net/
Aave: https://governance.aave.com/
Optimism: https://snapshot.org/#/opcollective.eth
We Are All Going to Die (decentralized D&D): https://snapshot.org/#/wagdie.eth

etc etc

We're not vastly outnumbered by frauds. The frauds showed up during the peak bull cycle phase to get rich quick, and they make a lot of noise. But a lot of them ended up blowing themselves up on high leverage and have already met their due. I wish there was a way to keep the swindlers completely out of the space, but given its permissionless nature, it's one of those trade-offs, like living in the wild west. You're both free and vulnerable, so you have to look out for yourself.

I think that given time, the scammers shake themselves out, and the cream rises to the top.
> "Twitter was 8-10% of our media mix"

They did 80M in aggregate, across channels. 750k/mo on Twitter is in the bounds of 8-10% of that total ad spend.
The thing that sucks about bookmarks is that you have to open the bookmark manager, find the bookmark(s) in question, and delete them, which is a process that happens naturally as tabs get taken care of. I don't have to explicitly think about managing tabs the way I would have to manage bookmarks.
Neither nuclear nor coal are good for when people switch on their kettles. You want hydro (storage or generation), OCGT, and battery for that. And you can already run a low capacity OCGT off of hydrogen for less than a nuclear plant at similarly low capacity.

A great game that scratches the Dwarf Fortress itch.

My issue with ONI is that I have a great time building a base for a while, and then invariably I fuck up containment somehow, leaking germs/pollution/CO2 everywhere, at which point it's too much of an ordeal to clean, so I abandon the base.

I'm sure this can be overcome with careful, wiki-led gameplay, but I haven't gotten over that hump yet.
I don't think these means that documentation doesn't work. It means that while documentation works, there's a number of additional issues that you also have when you use documentation. Try having no documentation instead of disorganized or outdated documentation. I'll take the latter.
Probably a combination of a career-first mentality where they don't have the time or inclination to seek / maintain lasting relationships, and also having the means to not raise their own children. To these people children are not burden in the same way as traditional parents because they hardly contribute to raising them; instead they are just another play-thing.

Exploring the deep: Drones offer new ways to monitor sea floor
Researchers have developed a novel method for measuring the earth's crust on the seafloor. A lightweight geodetic measurement device was mounted on a sea-surface landing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The mobility of this new system will enable rapid, efficient collection of real-time deep seafloor information, which is critical for understanding earthquake risk, as well as various other oceanographic observations.
Whoa! I love a good 2x2, and the one on the Diataxis home page is great!

Adding a caption here for anyone on a screen-reader, before I give commentary on it:

* X-axis: "serve our study" vs "serve our work"
* Y-axis: "practical steps" vs "theoretical knowledge"
* which gives 4 quadrants: how-to guides, tutorials, explanation, and reference

So I'm joining a new place recently, and it's another one of those "documentation-heavy" places where (of course) every new hire conducts the ceremonial ritual of updating the docs wherever they could use improvement. I really like having this ontology in my head now; I can see it being very useful.

Also, I wonder if the relative distributions of each one could tell you something about the team's health — or even just the kind of work the team does?

For example, between two teams who are both documentation-heavy, what does it means if one team's docbase is 80% tutorials, whereas the other team's is 80% reference guides? It would be fascinating if anyone's already given thought to relative metrics/heuristics like this.
What article with his byline? It looks like someone else wrote the news alert that's discussed in the linked article.
Thanks for the flippant comment. You completely missed my point, but that’s ok, this is the internet.
I don't hold a strong opinion myself on the matter as I have not done any deep research, but the EPA enforces the Endangered Species Act and the Wetlands Protection and Restoration. Google either of these with the phrase "Abuse of " at the beginning and you will find many people and organization writing about it. I have read many of these type of articles in different types of publications. One example[1].

I also know a lawyer at the EPA and she tells stories about how, for example, she/EPA is suing 80-90 year old people that owned car washes in LA in the 60's and 70's and had contaminated the soil. I figured that is what Superfund funds were for but I guess those funds are just to clean up corporations that have disappeared, not individuals that owned a small business 50 years ago and can be tracked.

> What issues do nontechnical people have with Confluence that are easier in just Markdown?

Your claim that I was responding to is that "everything Just Works" in Confluence, not that Markdown is easier. I have commented on neither Markdown nor their relative ease.

> The typical gripes are around search and organization, not editing.

That would seem to contradict both that everything Just Works and that you have never heard nenontechnical people complain about it.
Yeah, but there's ZERO reasons why you should be allowed to modify software to suit you. ZERO. Security über alles, DRM control over all, how dare you modify the software God Developer has given you, it will make you Insecure.
> The initial argument was that twitter would not be able to function without much of the staff that were fired,

You are missing out some important nuance there: no one said it would fall off the earth immediately, that it would cease to function right now. Many, myself included, have said we think it can't function long term, or even medium term, like this.

Day to day running of the main app is all automated when things are OK so it will keep ticking over as long as someone says the infrastructure invoices. The real test comes when there is next an infrastructure issue or some other fault: are the right sort of people there to resolve it quickly? Also do they have a good combination of people around to work on those bugs those advertisers are concerned about and other maintainence & improvement (of both the app and the other infrastructure it and the company relys upon)?

If we get rid of all car mechanics your car won't break down immediately, but good look getting it sorted easily when it eventually does develop a fault.

Twitter was somewhat bloated, I agree there. But what has happened to it in recent weeks is far more damaging than that could ever have been. It needs to turn around very quickly to survive financially and technically, and I think the chances of that happening are small.
Bingo. The problem is every modern recession seems to be topped by an LBO, and Twitter is this season’s RJR-Nabisco / Harrah’s.

He CLAIMS that he thinks he made mistakes. Probably lying even there.
Sorry, just an additional question as this project is so interesting:

Does Hermit support running different processes in parallel in certain situations?

It seems like this should be possible to do as long as they are appropriately isolated from each other.

Specifically, if two processes don't share any writable memory mappings then I'm thinking it might be possible for Hermit to exploit the underlying existing isolation between them so that they could run code in-between system calls in parallel (while still making sure that the actual system calls happen in a deterministic order).

Perhaps it would even be possible for the two processes to execute system calls in parallel if they are unrelated and they do not affect deterministic execution (such as if they are doing I/O to different files or directories, or one process doing I/O while another is doing something completely unrelated like getting the time, etc).

Although I guess this latter point (of executing syscalls in parallel) would require doing rewind/replay because it wouldn't be possible to know in advance whether the system calls are going to be related or not, as the two processes might not do the syscalls at exactly the same time.

Is Hermit doing this (executing code in-between syscalls in parallel, at least)? Or do you think it would be possible to do it?

This could significantly increase the usefulness of Hermit for distros that want to do deterministic builds of packages, as most compilation could happen in parallel / i.e. use several cores at the same time!

I'm thinking about huge package builds such as Chromium, Firefox, the Linux kernel, etc. which would perhaps take days to build if they were completely serialized into a single CPU core.

I really think this is true, and we usually rely on tech leaders or PMs to do this job, but in reality maybe we should consider having people who are responsible for this full time (or at least part time).

I think having advocates or evangelists within the company is important also, people who can interject "good answer, I think it would be valuable to copy this in a document for the next time someone asks"
It's a pretty easy argument that tearing Twitter down and reducing the wealth of the richest guy on paper is building a better world.
Arguably it’s better in the long term for civilization if narcissistic bullies don’t succeed.
> LaPorta did not exactly claim that Nixon had approved the source in this case, but his words were interpreted by the editors to mean that he did.

I think that's a reasonable read. That's what I took away from it initially. He said an official source, which had been vetted, said a thing.

The fact that he didn't make it clear that this source had not been vetted for this particular report is negligent at best.
Where is the data sourced from? I ask because of an experience I had recently when visiting Sydney. I was using transportnsw.info while waiting at a stop at Wynyard.

Eventually it told me that the bus I was waiting for had been and left, which seemed odd because I could see it still sitting idle further down the street. It eventually pulled up to the terminal about five minutes late, but the app did not update to reflect this.
> My primary experience from Rust comes from working with it for a little more than 2 years at a previous startup. This project was a cloud-based SaaS product that is, more-or-less, a conventional CRUD app

I think this should be at the top of the post. Rust seems like an obvious bad choice for this. For something not performance-sensitive that doesn't require most of Rust's power just use languages/frameworks that are made for this kind of thing. Of course you can do this with Rust, but you're probably picking the wrong tool for the job. The Rust ecosystem around building typical webservices isn't nearly as good as it is for other languages, and the benefit you get from Rust's safety and performance is worth less than the iteration speed you gain from the standard Node/Python/etc approach.
Exactly my thought, these people will burn out and there's just no way around that. Sometimes you need people whose job is to burn out trying to pull others in one direction

That’s a deceptive analysis because catch-up growth is easier. That’s why the Asian Tigers could grow at breakneck speeds, right until they caught up to Western development levels and stagnated just like everyone else.

But the 70's and 80's were marred with inflation, booms and bust cycles, Soviet-US rivalry dominating the headlines, and proxy wars in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Inner cities were grim and it isn't obvious if Americans could be described as optimistic then.

The 50's and 60's may have been a uniquely optimistic time for Americans (less so for Europeans after WWII). The country came out ahead, growing, rich and dominant. The 1960's was a unique decade seemingly of optimism and change. However there were certainly massive challenges, you can find enough evidence of terrible injustices being committed against minority groups standing up for themselves.

We work backwards and find tragedies in all of them.

Fast-forward again, we have incredible technology - we have maps, video conferencing and infinity encyclopedias in our pockets; people are getting bodypart transplants and plasma injections; we have consumer devices that monitor our health. None of us have fear of draft. There's no rational fear of rockets raining on us. We're incredibly lucky.

I can see the downhill feeling though. There's a deep pessimism.

There's reason to be pessimistic, mind you - but the pessimism is very monetizable, making it difficult to tell how much of it is being fed to us for profit.
I think that most of why Rust is popular is just that it's a very modern programming language. It has all the nice things people want and surprisingly little of what they don't. So it's no surprise that for some people it's more productive.

But the article pretty clearly outlined a super simple CRUD app. These days that's a problem space so well defined you can practically specify the whole thing in command line flags. Rust really has little to add there. For other stuff, yeah Rust can be super cool.

This is neat OP.

Looking through the code and blown away by how small and clean it all is. Is everything really just abstracted away by those two imported crates?

"Rust has made the decision that safety is more important than developer productivity. This is the right tradeoff to make in many situations — like building code in an OS kernel, or for memory-constrained embedded systems — but I don’t think it’s the right tradeoff in all cases, especially not in startups where velocity is crucial"

Great point
Good article, but the "Bullshit Industry?" section doesn't fit with the rest. Adtech is pure evil as far as I'm concerned, but that is orthogonal to whether it's pointless. A pointless adtech job might be to add "table_" or "[product name]_" in front of all the table names.
It’s like the uncanny valley.
> Command mode

I think you mean normal mode.
Right, but you're company that needs to hire people to write that. It's entirely fine if you're already a team that knows Rust, but if you have a need for an app you need to hire more devs to build, picking the "obvious" stack usually comes with benefit of being able to recruit people more easily.
I am using Dell XPS 17". It is relatively decent and you can have two harddrives (with a RAID setup but I was lazy to hack that).

The remains of other animals were also discovered, as well as thousands of Maya-style mural fragments and over 14,000 ceramic sherds from a grand feast. These pieces are more than 1,700 years old.

Again, that a lot of extra work, and the automatic reverse links are v tooling dependent. You don't get them with Confluence or gDocs, fwiw.

Nor do these suggestions solve the problem of doc creation.

We shall see. Remember that when rejoining the EU are going to try and get the best deal possible for themselves. I think you'll find that public sentiment can turn very quickly under such circumstances.

You are also assuming no problems in the EU (such as an Italian debt crisis) meaning that rejoining has real negative downsides as well.

The final process to rejoin the EU would at a minimum look like this:

- Referendum on rejoining EU
- Negotiations with EU on what exactly that would mean
- Some sort of deliberative process to determine if rejoining under these conditions is acceptable.

This will not happen for another decade at a minimum. And a lot can happen in that time. And if part of that agreement is the UK loses control of its borders again then I would bet money on no agreement being reached.

I half suspect the only reason Twitter had the status it did is because all the news organizations pushed it so hard. Hell, it did all the hard work of finding interesting "new/hot" topics for them to cover. Made their job easier, and it's with the journalists I see a lot of concern and fear over where Twitter is heading.

Of course others used it too, but the 'news cachet' meant a lot too, and helped convince others to use it too. I could easily see journalists fears helping to keep the ugly bastard going. Glad I never wasted my time on it.
