No, not being mistaken for 1938. More making any mistake similar to those in 1938 or 1916.

Read about Germany's behaviour towards Belgians during WW1, for example. It's not well known in the greater world, but all of the Germans learned about that in school, and learned that pretty much everything they did involving wars was terrible, whether in 1900 in China, 1906 in Namibia, 1916 in Belgium or during the Nazi time. IMO it's quite appropriate that they hesitate a little too long now.
Can someone please explain what Twitter blocked exactly? Did they block only 3rs party clients or anyone who is trying to read data from their APIs? From what I know about 15% of their revenue (now probably much more give) is coming from their data services.

SVN had a great feature set, and a great way to handle merges, and sane defaults.

too bad they hit some limits as repos become larger and larger, tried to implement a new storage engine, and basically they never managed to iron out all bugs out of it in time, while the older storage engine entered feature freeze and was basically abandoned.

I've been checking them for years, and there were file corruption issue for so long, I lost interest in tracking the status anymore, as by that point I wrapped my head around the git model.

I don't live there, so not really my business, but I picked a county at random from that list (Harney) and their county budget is almost $17M. Only $3M of their budget comes from local property taxes, something like $12M in governmental transfers.

> Revenues increased by $3,301,780. Expenditures increased by $1,727,698. This increase in revenue is due to the receipt of grant dollars from the Federal Delegation requests and State of Oregon fair disbursements. The Federal amount was $1,546,000 for communication upgrades through our Emergency Management Department. A new fund #105, the American Rescue Plan, brought in an additional $718,000 in grant revenue. We received $1M from the State of Oregon for fairgrounds infrastructure upgrades also included in the noted increase.

Just massively living off the government teat with no hint of irony.

In a word yes. I worked in the film industry for 20 years from 20-40. The hours were killing me. My wife and I moved from Vancouver to Barcelona. I got a crap job at a call center. The company had courses in excel available. I took those. I then applied internally for a business analyst position. After getting that I learned SQL and JavaScript from LinkedIn learning and YouTube. I applied for a Security Analyst position at a different company. Got the gig and have since learned python and am working as a SOC analyst. I 44 now. Never had any higher education for the film gig nor the analyst jobs. I went to school for audio recording and have always had a way with computers.

VSS is by far the shittiest VCS I've had the displeasure to use, though I will confess I never had to suffer through RCS and CVS.

It's certainly the only one which managed to destroy data. 'twas a good thing I'd already used other source control systems before VSS, because that experience would definitely have made me flee from source control systems for a while (much as Java did static type systems).

What is a "diversity hire"? Anyone that's a minority? Or perhaps someone that _you_ believe wouldn't have been hired if they weren't a minority? Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's the latter.

How would you know if a colleague of yours is a "diversity hire" without making assumptions? How do you know that you're just not as good? Because you don't think their work is high quality? Maybe you're a bad judge because your work isn't high quality. Or maybe you only see part of their work? Or maybe your pre-judgement has already doomed you to biased analysis of anything they do.

Or maybe if you're worrying about this you're just not very good.
Rust doesn't have the same goals as Python or Go. It remains first and foremost a systems language, where Go is first and foremost a web language.

Also: when the package ecosystem is as strong as Rust's, it's less important to supply first-party things just because they're useful, and more important to supply things that establish a common interface that multiple third-party packages can then agree on as a standard. See things like the Future trait
> I'm also thinking of my favorite things about languages like Racket and Python which is a really simple editor that is built-in.

I've heard this before but I've never really understood it.

Why on earth should language designers spend time and effort building a toy text editor when damn near everyone has VS Code, JetBrains, Sublime, some flavor of vim or emacs, etc. available to them? Why would anyone want to learn a new, completely bespoke editor just to play around with a new language when you can install a language extension for the editor you're already using in seconds?

I believe in luck. And I believe there's another explanation for luck - which is how much do you imagine what you desire? And to what extent do you believe in that desire. By "believe in" I mean live - how do you live like you are actually expecting it to come true. That's not about actions necessarily but a feeling firstly.

Example: Do I plan for every negative possibility and none of the positive? This means I believe in the negative and hence most people go along

This is my lived reality right now. It's not necessarily super fun in the long run. It can get draining to work on new thing after new thing, only for it to get shut down because it doesn't _quite_ fit the company strategy or they can't find anywhere internally to anchor it.

Plenty of good ideas have died that way.

That said, I think it also heavily depends on the company. If the work you're doing is directly feeding into the development pipeline, it sounds like fucking heaven. Mine, however, is not.

You're simplifying things too much though. There are important questions still. For example, how much does an apple cost? Rent? These are not equal in these countries. But also, let's say that they paid $3/hr in Egypt you could end up flooding the market. $15/hr and it could ironically be disastrous. We actually have seen stuff like this before when Westerners move in to other countries. The problem is that the local markets can't compete. Then we have a whole neocolonialism situation.

If your goal is to actually help people in a country get out of poverty this is actually quite a difficult goal to achieve without taking over that country (implicitly or explicitly). We don't want to physically invade. We don't want to economically invade. But we also don't want them to sit in poverty so we have to do something right? So how do you do that and let them maintain their independence? They might not even want to work with us to begin with! Don't pretend that these are trivial problems and us westerners sitting at a computer just know what's best. That's how colonialism started in the first place.
Knowing what to build, and just as importantly what not, is everything. From my experience PMs are not any better at this than engineers.

Ship of Theseus is the thing I was looking for. Our dept has repeatedly suffered from this same mistake. Our team was stuck with this damn three-part PK that also gets exposed to partner teams using our service as an identifier, and is now baked into their code and their clients' code. Now we took it out as the PK, but it's still used as an identifier. We're making a bunch of hacks to ensure that ID stays unique.

The analogy went further when the partner team asked, can we have a "stable ID" that doesn't change even if that identifier changes. Our team was close to exposing our new row-level keys again. I asked, if the name changes, is it the same thing still? What if the name and the other attributes change? This isn't like a social media post that obviously has an identifier; we're modeling physical objects. Why do you need this feature again? Turns out they didn't need the feature, or even quite understand what they were asking.

The way our application is, really we didn't have to expose any identifier with guarantees about uniqueness.

> I hope Rust can get higher kinded types through higher ranked trait bounds but for types, not just lifetimes, which would be equivalent to HKTs in other languages. I don't believe generic associated types are fully equivalent to HKTs necessarily but type level HRTBs should fill that gap.

In service of what though? I love Haskell and HKTs, but Rust is a different language and I don't find myself actually reaching for HKTs, even when writing libraries.

Just my personal opinion, I think adding these features would be to Rust's detriment. I am happy to do my exploration into more complex type level features in another language in order to not add everything and the kitchen sink to Rust.
Subversion fixed all the truly horrific things about CVS, it's quite adequate for centralized source control.
Try and reframe the experience as the price paid for learning this valuable lesson. Sharing this as you have done may help others avoid making the same mistake which is another positive you can take. It will take time, but if you can reframe in this way, you'll be able to deaden or eliminate the resentment and you will grow back wiser and with a stronger sense of self-confidence than you had prior.

There is a story about two buddhist monks who were captured and imprisoned by an invading army. Eventually, after ten years, they were released and went their separate ways. Ten years later they bumped into each other again. "How are you finding freedom?” said the first monk. “Wonderful” said the other, “But I’ll never forgive those bastards who took us”. The first monk replied, “I am sorry to hear you are still imprisoned.”
I think that is right. A public API radically slows down product iteration since each feature needs to be considered in terms of its blast radius to third party clients. It probably burned the bridge for good this time, but killing the API to speed up product velocity isn’t an insane move if you value that more than the existing 3rd party ecosystem.
I mean, some of them are working on Mastodon clients so it's already happening.

> and a great way to handle merges

Nope. That took a very long while to be added. When the current crop of DVCS started appearing, one of their significant draw was actually that by necessity merges worked well. At the time, SVN made it extremely easy to fork branches, and almost impossible to merge them.

Per the official doc (https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.branchmerge.basicmer...) merge tracking was introduced in subversion 1.5, released in May 2008. That's 3 years after the initial release of Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar.

Before then you had to keep note of what you'd merged by hand so you didn't double merge it, and that was distinctly not fun.
There is an apt metaphor for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

I learnt it long ago and watch for it now, after I had a similar experience but not conditions, just low salary.

After years of low pay, my last job gave me a 20% increase (which was substantially better than previous positions), and my current job gave me a 60% increase on top of that, because according to the technical test I did, I was actually one of the most capable developers they'd interviewed and gave me the maximum salary for the position, not the value I'd requested (which was about $15K less).
I think the OP indirectly does that. They chose to say

“The median age of female's first marriage was less than 22 for 100 years and rose to 28 in the last few decades”

and not

“The median age of male's first marriage was less than 26 for 100 years and rose to 30 in the last few decades”

or the neutral

“The median age of first marriage was more or less stable for 100 years and rose by about 6 years in the last few decades”
Fair enough.

A few common examples for which I rely upon static typing:
- I have a proof that operation X is complete, because I have a protocol to follow;
- this string is a Matrix room id (and not a Matrix user id or a Matrix server id, also strings);
- this time is in milliseconds.

Sounds like very different use cases :)

By "app" do you mean the twitter website (because that's all i ve used). Why would one need an App to read a list that s basically full of browser links?
It depends. Probably imo, but this speeds up product development significantly and frees up a ton of resources in exchange for alienating a lot of users and the network effects of an API. Who knows if this kind of analysis was considered, but it’s not obviously a bad move until we see if Twitter starts doing faster product revs that pan out into growth.
