As a company grows sooner or later most of these features become pretty desirable from an operations perspective. Feature developers likely don't and shouldn't need to care. It probably starts with things like Auth and basic load balancing. As the company grows to dozens of teams and services then you'll start feeling pain around service discovery and wish you didn't need to implement yet another custom auth scheme to integrate with another department's service.

After a few retry storm outages people will start paying more attention to load shedding, autoscaling, circuit breakers, rate limiting.

More mature companies or ones with compliance obligations start thinking about zero-trust, TLS everywhere, auditing, and centralized telemetry.

Is there complexity? Absolutely. Is it worth it? That depends where your company is in its lifecycle. Sometimes yes, other times you're probably better off just building things and living with the fact that your load shedding strategy is "just tip over".
>1. Lost our way on recommendations. When I showed up the company was convinced that engagement equals quality. That's not true and it gets even more pronounced if you pay people to game your recommendation system. I think we were boosting articles that made people think we were a site for clickbait. The canonical example for HN is "Why NodeJS is dead" by a new programmer with zero experience or context. Readers noticed this, but worse, so did authors. And so we lost the incentive for a lot of the best and most interesting authors to bother because they were getting swamped by content-mill type authors. As of December, about 30% of our recommendations are generated by a new system that is picking much higher quality articles that have been vetted for substance over clickbait. This is getting a lot better, rapidly.

You say this but this went on for literal years.
I look forward to your evidence of this. But things like robbery, selling stolen goods, protection rackets, extortion, prostitution, and drugs are still all generally illegal.

Things like alcohol and marijuana have become legal, but I don't see much evidence that Budwiser/InBev is a mob front.
You seem confident that you can categorize any activity. what about: strolling along a pathway, hiking in the footlhills, scrambling a mountain, ice climbing, base jumping? At what level the rock climbing rating system do we inflect from indirect to direct risk?

If you are building a library, then you are likely targeting Go developers who have already made their decision. If you are building a binary you can publish those and no one has to compile them
I said it before and I'll say it again: If Musk's goal was to destroy Twitter from the inside, he seems to be succeeding. What fascinates me the most is that all of this was worth so much money to him.

You seem to have faith that a mountain is impossible to build because no one has done it. Assuming we're operating with a definition of "real intelligence" such that humans have it, it is known to be physically realizable. Any quantum system can be simulated by a classical computer. Ergo, a computer can have "real intelligence".
Plus, drinking together with food instead of on an empty stomach (as more common in more northern cultures) slows down absorption allowing more time for the liver to process the alcohol before it reaches the brain and other organs, if we are talking about a standard dosage (a glass of wine etc). Even if this is not enough for the liver (even with a glass of wine and full stomach it will not be able to process alcohol without getting overloaded), it is definitely better than binging beers on empty stomach, as less alcohol will be in circulation and reaching organs for less amount of time. But then, how often one does that matters too.
sh.reddit.com also works nicely on mobile, but you cannot sign-in. For me, it has less bugs than i., which will not load many images and also screws up pagination pretty often.

It's relevant because many people using Rust are using it for building web backends where high-performance systems language is not needed, yet the safe concurrency is required.
Well, one causes harm and the other doesn't, so they are different situations.

But, in the case of gambling it seems like there is some middle ground. You shouldn't permit companies to program kids to gamble through videogame mechanics for example, and companies should have some regulations bc otherwise it goes from predatory to extremely predatory, but doesn't seem like it should be illegal.

Unfortunately it's a tough thing and hard to even have a conversation about.

….all the revenue was ads and Musk has not found a replacement. Twitter Blue was minuscule.

They’re not even really trying to replace ads. For example, they just shut down all third party twitter apps. They could have instead said “to use a third party app you need twitter blue”

But they nuked the space instead, principally because their api has no way to display ads in these apps.
From the BBC article: "Men who are dependent on alcohol or drugs are six or seven times more likely to be involved in domestic abuse against women than others, according to an extensive new study."

That makes sense--alcohol decreases inhibition. It makes you do things that maybe you were inclined to do, but wouldn't do sober. (That is part of why people drink alcohol in the first place.)
Yes, we should.

A source of public health information should never say something vague like "cigarettes are bad for your health." They need to specify precisely how bad they are and how much damage is done with each individual cigarette.

Same with gasoline- if someone was to accidentally consume a small quantity of gasoline and wanted to know how much trouble they are in, they should be able to easily discover exactly how many ml of gasoline you need to drink to experience any associated problems. If there is a "safe" level, where there are no major side effects, that's something they need to know.
Yes the age-old lesson that observing users’ behaviour tells a better story than asking them what they want.
Yeah, like, the nice thing about those numbers is that it does work out that solar can very clearly be an effective part of the mix. Out at our family’s farm, there’s a pretty much perfect spot for a long line of solar panels at the south end of the yard that would have no problem zeroing out the electrical bill (is SaskPower still doing net metering? I don’t even know) and probably reducing some of the gas bill as well.

As far as the urban spots go, my electricity+gas numbers there approximately match the size of the entire lot. Extrapolating a bit and assuming that my house is “average”, that works out to needing a solar farm about the size of Regina to power the city in the winter. Maybe half the size when considering all of the street area.
By not paying rent and putting beds in the office? No reason to defend this clear insanity.
There are different characterizations of the devil in different cultures and faith: a "fallen angel" is a common one, and "personification of evil" is another common one. My interpretation of the latter is that you can't really "personify" evil unless you're necessarily evil, which in turn precludes the possibility of any agency.

Some vices need not be legalized, many others need heavily regulation. We seem to be getting the worst of all worlds (especially here in Canada), poor regulation with legalization.

At the end of the day we’d be better off without most vices. Most vulnerable people aren’t going to be able to function when drugs, gambling and the like are a free for all regardless of supports given to them.

I used to use Gentoo back in ~2004-2009 (College years) then switched to Ubuntu when I started working and didn't have time to deal with it anymore. I recently built a ryzen 7950x & 7900 xt system however and found ubuntu didn't yet have the necessary drivers and also was thinking how to put my new system through its paces.. So I switched to gentoo and actually its pretty great. Things compile substantially faster on my 16 core 7950x than they did on my 2004 P4 system :) so its actually pretty usable. However my only gripe is when I suddenly realize I need to install something and don't want to wait around for it to compile, it can be a pain. Luckily there are often binary packages or even docker where I can jump into a debian container and do what I need. All in all its pretty good, but at some point I might switch to arch or even back to ubuntu if the next release supports my system better.
For context, Lou Paskalis ran Bank of America’s marketing when it spent more on ads than all influencers make nowadays.
Likely it isn't the alcoholism that causes that but the results of drinking all the time meaning you can't function. You can have a beer anytime you want in the US.

I don't want to live in a world where we dump people with addiction issues on the street, but certainly giving them welfare or something enables them after a certain point as well. Hard issue.
>But tracking down holding companies consumes precious resources, and would be strategic, not just legal, decision.

And 9x/10 when you track down Perwinkle LLC you'll find that it's owned by a couple American brothers who own a successful regional HVAC business and everything they are doing is legal.

People love to act as if all this offshore stuff is frequently closely connected to illegal things but if you just randomly pull samples you'll be hard pressed to find anything that isn't just a case of someone completely legally doing what the law incentivizes. If there was actually anywhere near as high a crime to not-crime ratio as people imply every bureaucrat with political ambitions would be all over it.

Nobody claimed alcohol stops procreation, hell if anything it does the opposite.
The 80s was famously about conspicuous consumption. Not everyone then, and there plenty of it now, but the zeitgeist isn’t a statistical metric.
Assuming a 180 day school year (which would actually mean a 10 day period would be closer to 3-4% not 4-5%), that means that half of the year they are not in school anyway. So they have a good chance of catching it outside of school days anyway even if they catch it annually. Besides that, if that's that's a huge and consistent problem, school could just reduce the number of holidays by a week or so. The variance of number of school days throughout the world is already larger than that.
It’s a pretty ubiquitous term here used by all sides. They even poll using the term https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20080214/poll-us-sp...

Though I think some of the political proponents have shifted their SEO terms to “universal healthcare” in recent years after they found the term confusing.

> I now assume you mean that all people should pay 100 % for their own health care needs since people only have themselves to blame if they need health care?

I’m not saying one way or the other what I think. I’m saying the logical conclusion of paying for everyone’s medical bills is that you create regulation to try to lower said bills. By definition, this restricts freedoms, which I’m opposed to.
The opaque nature of all the machine learning today has made me appreciate analytic algorithms more. For a number of years I've been exploring 2D representation using triangulations [1]. Working with analytic algorithms is like playing around with synthesizers whereas ML is more like using a sampler.

> yeah, prohibition totally worked.

Americans are much more compliant now, not to mention health and socially conscious. For example, the culture of alcohol use has disparate impacts on black and brown communities: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2771773/ ("African Americans and Hispanics bear a disproportionately greater burden of alcohol-related health problems compared to whites, as evidenced by higher rates of liver cirrhosis, death rates due to cirrhosis, and rates of overall alcohol-related mortality.") That is true even though, for example, black Americans begin drinking later and drink less than white Americans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3758406/.

At some point, US companies will get fed up with constantly being harassed by the EU and just give up on the relatively small (as in money, not population) European market entirely. The hostility is simply not worth it.

For a sense of scale - the EU has 0 (zero) of the 14 largest companies by market cap. Out of the next 25, only a handful are in the EU.

> AML regulations prevent about %0.05 of criminal proceeds from being 'harvested' and the cost of these compliance regimes costs vastly more than the value they bring.

I look forward to your proving these two very numerical claims. But you can't just count existing criminal proceeds. That'd be saying, "The current level of speeding is so low that we can get rid of traffic cops." You have to measure the crime prevented, too.

Yes, the cost is unfortunate. They do have grants and scholarships that can save a few thousand per semester, but that’s still not enough if you don’t have at least some college funds set aside.

This is exactly right. ChatGPT (and Copilot) didn't blow my mind because people told me about it. It blew my mind when I started messing around with it. Doesn't matter how good things sound in theory. All the things that made me a believer are things I haven't even told anyone. It's too "you need to try it for yourself" for me to even try explaining.
Societies that have banned alcohol, how do their longevity and other quality of life metrics and outcomes rank against ones where alcohol is available?

In my late adolescence, an old friend and I had a joke about "champagne socialists," where we decided instead we would be "single malt anarchists," and we would meet at a hotels rooftop bar to drink whiskey we could barely afford, in a place we were barely welcome, and argue about how to solve the worlds problems. Who knew that decades later enjoying a few drams and a cigar would become a revolutionary act?

If I could coin a term for all these bureaucratic false-concerns based on what they have in common (alcohol, meat, tobacco, cars, gas stoves, humor, firearms, nuclear families, heteronoramtivity, truth, etc.) it would be that they are all "anti-fraternal," and motivated by undermining the formation and relationships that historically present sources of resistance to political dominion. This advisory isn't about "health" or alcohol, it's a policy dogwhistle. Every single one of the people behind these pronouncements and organizations openly hates the idea of "bro's," or any group of men with a shared identity, and restricting access to alcohol is one of the key stages in consolidating a regime.

I keep a bottle of blantons in a box somewhere for just in case the world ends, or descends into apocalyptic bedlam as a result of yet another one of historys antagonists finding their way. It would be a shame to open that box.
reductionist paper without stating all assumptions in the title..

This relates to a long-term, diverging trend in the practice of programming.. Vast numbers of highly skilled coders are paid money to meet requirements of a much larger system.. old-school is corporate but the cloud in general could be thought of this way..

Many strong programmers are on the opposite end -- dreaming of patterns and applying them diligently; much more like weaving or industrial arts.. not "paint by numbers" like the requirements work.

There are many, many gray areas in that analysis. Like that physics class demo of a growing balloon where all points expand and diverge at once.. the practice of programming will never be contained into one or more categories.. But to call out "good programmers" without recognizing the breadth and depth, is shallow and at worst counter-productive to the craft. This labeling gives fodder to the "Henry Ford"s out there looking to make other humans work as efficient machines themselves.. personally I can do without that.
Hmm… I'd say for IO-bound tasks/loading in a DBMS yes, async/await coroutines are the correct abstraction, since you're waiting to reschedule on external notice and normally don't want to spin-wait (or you could block on the optimistic case and then `.await` the fallback).

If you'd like to do modular data processing instead then the current best Rust approach is using `Iterator`s[1] and possibly the `rayon`[2] crate for safe parallelisation.

There currently is no coroutine feature that maps nicely onto `Iterator`s, or rather that's indeed expected to be the unstable generators feature, as it should cover that use case without overhead. (Async-coroutines map onto `Future`[3] instead.)

You can think of Rust's `async` and generator use cases vaguely like the ones of JS's async and generator functions. The latter will function without any runtime or trampoline if you advance it in a loop, as far as I can tell, but they're unwieldy if what you want to yield on are only waits on external events. (`Waker`s[4] have similar consumer semantics to JS's or C#'s continuation passing, even if they are only indirect memory management handles.)

It also often makes sense to use both of these at the same time to produce something like an `AsyncIterator`[5], but I expect that feature to be quite some ways away in Rust, at least in a seamlessly mixing fashion.[6]

- - -

I'm actually pretty curious which will turn out faster in practice between C++'s coroutines and Rust's generators, since their memory management is so different.

The Rust coroutines (that is: including `Future`s) are generally stackless already, but also by default heapless, as their entire memory is abstracted as opaque instance with anonymous type that is returned to the caller by value. Boxing them is an explicit operation, and it's equally possible to pin them on the current stack/in the current instance instead. (That's how `.await` works; the child is embedded into the outer `Future` directly.)

There are some pitfalls related to this, since that instance's size is determined by the largest `.await`/yield site, but the tooling should (eventually) be able to warn on unexpectedly large `.await`/yield locations like it currently warns on unexpectedly large enum variants.[7]
