I don't think we are talking about national security spying, I am sure every country does this as much as they can.

There are plenty of us who’d like this to be untrue. Myself included.

"... took responsibility..."

CEO's keep using that phrase. I don't think it means what they think it means.
Same here. We do a lot of "trust me, it's OK" operations in the name of performance, like very complex ownership semantics, manually issuing memory barriers in multithreaded scenarios, etc. Can't do any of that in Rust. The borrow checker usually forces a different design which is conceptually simpler and has fewer assumptions baked in (you end up with quite a bit of Rc/Arc, RefCells, etc.) but sacrifices quite a lot of speed.
They had 16 companies in this survey that were remote, 2 that were "office", And the rest were some form of hybrid. They considered anything other than full remote "some office". This could easily get skewed if one of these office companies had 10x'd their revenue.

And even though they grew faster, the attrition for Office was higher.
Rust is the bastard child of C++ and Haskell.

So it doesn't have the simplicity of C, it tries to give you as many abstractions as possible while still maintaining the zero cost philosophy.

I would say Rust is easier then C++ and easier haskell.
In addition to the tiny sample size point of a sibling commenter, this seems telling:

> almost 90% of the responses from pre-seed/seed startups said team culture was influenced

Building a good work culture is hard, it’s understandable that it’ll take time to identify and distill patterns that work well in a remote first setting, and then more time for the industry to adopt them. That doesn’t mean remote work is bad for employers, it just means it’s different. The companies that adapt will very likely have a strategic advantage in the future.
LOL they’re office workers who “label data”. Meanwhile the factory workers all have seven figure options grants and aren’t interested.
Maybe I'm stupid but I don't really understand your first sentence. What does it mean? Care to elaborate?
Veracrypt or Truecrypt?
Despite Truecrypt being abandoned almost ten years ago it still seems safe to me (Veracrypt too). But what makes me think is that Truecrypt had a lot of media coverage for its prowess of being practically "unbreakable" if done correctly, of course. Cases like Snowden's, which revealed to the world that the NSA had difficulty breaking Truecrypt's encryption, made it famous as the best encryption program in the world.
Veracrypt also appears to be secure most importantly it does not appear to have backdoors as its source code is opensource. However, there are virtually no high-profile cases where a government or police entity has admitted to not being able to break their encryption.

What do you think? Does Truecrypt still reign supreme for its unbreakable hype, orvis Veracrypt in fact its replacement?
YC probably has some really interesting data on this for pre-seed companies since moving from a required relocation to fully remote.

For new founders the value of being in person around other founders in the epicenter of your industry can be pretty huge. It's the questions you don't know to ask that are often the most valuable-- the overheard conversations, unexpected connections, and coffee chats that often make the difference between survival and death in the early days.

IIRC early data during the pandemic indicated that while remote work didn't impact productivity for established employees it was harder for new hires to find personal traction within the company.
My employer did one across the board COLA, yes.
Those eduction professionals sure failed you if you can't connect the dots on what happens when their politics differs from yours and the shoe is on the other foot. Children are certainly not the property of woke teachers either. Very amusing of you to trot out this line of defense about a book with an extremely simply message that seems to have gone over your head.

That's exactly where we are, unfortunately. Banning books is bad but god help kids who are at the mercy of teachers and people like you. Or the Bible thumpers. Two peas in a pod.
If the effect size is this large, then n=37 is perfectly sufficient to assert that the effect exists; however, the issue is about sample selection, as "n companies from the Reach Capital portfolio" can't be reasonably considered to be a representative sample of all startups, so it can't be assumed that the conclusions can be extrapolated beyond the niche of startups like these which Reach Capital selects to fund, perhaps it depends on location or domain or size or other characteristics which affect what Reach Capital funds.
This is fine. CEOs are people, and it's good for people to take vacations. If you're against toxic hustle culture, don't be mad about this. It feels oddly puritan.

A lot of people seem to have this idea that layoffs are usually wrong, and that it means the company/CEO did something bad. That's just not reality. Laying off people wasn't a sin, and his vacation isn't him reveling in his sinful lifestyle.
Wait, the US electrical generation capacity increased by a factor of a billion in 30 years?

Looks like that works but it’s unintuitive. Pydantic can handle this situation without the weird KW_ONLY thing, so dataclasses should too
As someone who has never needed "the fire brigade" to extinguish a fire in my house, it always strikes me as absurd that people seek to form governments to "provide fire services" rather than through individual application of water through bucket ownership.
It's been a few years since I've used Nim, but outside of the language itself, the tooling around Rust is absolutely incredible. Rust Analyzer, Clippy, Cargo, etc.
Could it be that early Startups that are doing well are more likely to be able to afford an office? If all the graphs pointed to better performance in office I'd be more convinced, but only one does.

The theoretical reasoning behind unions is that they counteract the market power of companies over employees.

If this market power assymetry doesn't exist (for example software engineers in San Francisco), unions are not beneficial to the society but at least slightly beneficial to the average union member assuming the union is making good decisions. Because more market power is always better than less market power. It's always advantageous to be a monopoly.

If you're a highly productive employee, the company doesn't have market over you, you can easily find another job. But this may be different for an average employee.

Yes, I am in the UK. The number of charging points is not keeping up with the planned schedule and number of new EVs on the road. The issue of people who cannot charge at home is not being tackled. Perhaps the most important issue: The grid is not being upgraded and electricity production is not keeping up (matter made even worse by the push to also get rid of gas boilers in homes).

EVs are also still unaffordable to most, which is perhaps a blessing considering the above: Buying an EV is the 'easy' part.

Edit:

Grid is at capacity. There are many articles on that online from growing problems to connect new electricity sources to even potential restrictions on new homes [1].

Electricity production is not increasing. I believe peak production was reached in 2005 and since then nuclear plants have been decommissioned and renewables have not filled the gap.

So solve both issues is a big task to say the least. And then there's still the lack of charging points.

You tend to see linked lists in places like operating systems, storage systems, and stackless asynchronous server systems. These kinds of linked lists actually do perform better than vectors in most cases.

Specifically, linked lists do well when objects are:
1. Large, specifically 100s of bytes
2. Moved frequently between collections
3. Intrusively linked (meaning that the pointers are part of the struct, not a separate library) and
4. Never randomly accessed

One size does not fit all when it comes to performance of list structures, unfortunately. In particular, large items tend to break standard library structures, since they are not the usual case.

The most interesting part about consultants to me is something I heard the CEO of my current company say once to a bunch of product leadership:

"I think I know the answer they're going to give, and I think you all know it, but if I have to pay a consultant a bunch of money to get you to listen to it and do it then so be it."

I've found this true in current and past companies, when was the last time you had a consultant tell you something you COMPLETELY didn't know yourself? Something surprising?

Your comment misses my broader point, which is that you don't NEED a text-based programming language to interface with a persistence engine.

And so through that lens, yeah it's pretty obvious that if SQL didn't exist then neither would SQL injection vulnerabilities. That doesn't mean that an alternative interface wouldn't have its own potential attack vectors. It's just one example of the complexity invited and brought upon us by using a general purpose text-based programming language to interface with storage.

100% agree with this take re: gaming, but his overall point -- if your value-add in the marketplace is X, you'd probably better build your own X -- is more true than not. Games blur that, but at the end of the day nobody buys games PURELY for the 3D side of things. They're looking for story and gameplay at least as much, and (for me at least) probably MORE than technical beauty.

Question, did anyone check whether the AI was prompted to generate something like this? I don't know anything about TSAM. Was it asked to, "Write a fake piece about the population of Mars"? I agree with most of the concerns you all have raised about AI, but if we didn't even check whether the AI malfunctioned, I'd say all of the comments discussing how "AI will be the death of facts" are just as devoid of facts as the AI, lol (No offense meant to those comment writers. I'm not sure if they missed this or not, but if so, it's an easy mistake to make). Honestly, I'd say most people are wrong from not fact checking their information more often than the current generation of AI is wrong from the kinds of errors AI is prone to on most non-specialized subjects.
Awesome! I always wondered about that.
That is pretty awesome. Like stepping into a time machine, especially if one of them was TIME.

This reminds me of a really stressful period in college during a semester that was almost entirely upper-level geoscience, physics, and math courses. For one of the geoscience courses I needed to write a paper and so I found myself in the university library looking for source materials. It had been a long time since I had been in a library. The journals that I needed were filed with all the other periodicals and as I wandered the aisles I discovered old magazines from the 60's and 70's available for reading.

As a youth I had spent a great deal of time reading and my parents subscribed to various magazines that were popular like TIME, Life, Newsweek, Better Homes and Gardens, National Geographic and it was a great way for a kid to learn about events in the world far from their home, like the Vietnam War protests, Watergate, the growth of the environmental movement.

I found myself pausing in my studies as I searched the shelves for old familiar issues that I had thought were forever lost. I searched the time period and pulled issues looking for specific magazine covers to make sure that I hadn't imagined any of it. It was a real trip back in time and the rest of my time at college I used the library as a stress busting tool. I would think up old books I had read and then go check the card catalog to see whether they were on the shelves and if so I would check them out and revisit those old familiar stories.

Thanks for this reminder.
Unions can and do exist in right to work states.

The point of a union is not job security. It's about giving workers collective power they may not otherwise have. Historically unions have been painted as extremely antagonistic towards companies in the United States, but there's no reason that has to be true.

A well-run union recognizes that their survival is tied to the company's survival, and as long as both sides engage in good faith, they should reach an agreement that's mutually beneficial. To your point about job security, no one I know in unions wants to keep all employees no matter what. What people want is protection from being fired for no reason. Usually that means something like getting a PIP and six weeks to improve performance. Is that such an unreasonable ask? That way the employee has a chance to keep their job, and the company can potentially avoid the expense of hiring and training a new employee.
Yes, but how is the BBC responsible for their employees buying phones and bringing them in the country? Was the BBC telling their employees to do this?

ads are essentially noise. some high-nines number of ads have no effect. to counteract this, demand-side providers came up with ways to fake an effect to look valuable. they then discovered clients couldn't tell the difference between real or fake, or didn't care because the clients also want to say their ads worked. then the race to the bottom began: buy the absolute minimum quality for as little as you possibly can. that put pressure on the supply side because their revenues fell.

examples of faking:
- the search "companyname" takes credit for "companyname.com"
- "we promise we didn't show you the one positive result from running 1000 tests"

You mean mutability annotations or allowing mutability at all?

Because you can't simply disallow mutability in an imperative language.

But about annotations, you annotate your code to let the compiler know what you meant to do. If just looking at what you do was enough, C would be a safe language. You improve it by giving more information to the compiler, so it can check if you are doing what you meant to.

(But I don't know what relation you saw with TCO. It's not a related concept.)
It's also unclear whether it's a causal relation or not - it's also plausible that the startups who happen to be "more mature" from the very beginning are both growing faster, and also able to afford an office faster; perhaps that early office doesn't influence anything but is simply a consequence or side-effect of 'better startups'.

This kind of observation simply can't distinguish between correlation and causation.
But there are good reasons for CPI to measure all leases and not just new leases. It depends on what your goal is of your measurement. If your goal is to measure the prices of a basket of goods representative of what urban consumers are spending money on, then measuring the prices of all leases is better than new leases.

I would agree that a good forecast of inflation would incorporate what is happening with leases now, but I would disagree that this means anything for "true inflation".
Human generations (~20+ years) because I’m talking about human legal systems. Think about how long it took legal systems to recognize other humans as legal persons with equal weight (skin color, gender, sexual orientation etc). I would expect synthetic intelligence to be an even harder road. The only mitigation I can think of is that AI will touch humans at an early age and be a constant factor. So that kind of close contact might engender legal recognition sooner. But I doubt it.
Nim, while providing the same memory safety as Rust, doesn't do so without overhead. So Nim very expressly sacrifices performance for safety.

In rust, for example, it's possible to safely share data between threads without incurring costs of a garbage collector. Nim uses a different GC for each thread, so it naturally increases costs on a per-thread basis.
