NASA would have to pull out the Saturn V blueprints and rebuild the manufacturing process from scratch. They would have to start hiring from 0 and reacquire all the institutional knowledge they lost over the past 50 years. They would have a real problem with supply chains: those are all gone, the tooling scrapped, the workers retired, and the business sectors offshored. They would have to redo all the testing so the process could reliably produce a working rocket from the designs. And the designs themselves are based on obsolete techniques, materials, and components.

Even if it was possible, there would be no point: the blueprints weren't the hard part, and the world has changed since they were drawn up.

Normal cargo + crates.io usage has the same property via the existence of lockfiles. For most people that care about stability, this will provide a natural delay (which you can also see in crates.io download graphs) to consuming the latest version.

> If you own a house with a modest sized lawn, the top meter of soil probably contains several kilograms of uranium.

At first I thought "surely that cannot be right", then did some calculation and it seems you are right?

This report[1] states that: "Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is present in nearly all rocks and soils; it has an average concentration in U.S. soils of about 2 pCi/g (3 ppm)."

I took the 3ppm figure from this and assumed that means 3g per million gram of soil. (This assumption might be a mistake, but I don't know how better to interpret it.)

Then I googled and found 1000 square meter to be a reasonable size of estimate for the lawn size and 1400 kg/cubic meter seems to be a reasonable soil density.

Then just multiplied these together "1000 * 1 * 1400 * (3 / 10*6) = 4.2" and found that indeed. As a rough estimation your statement seems to be right! (I mean of course you did know this :D I just wanted to show how I checked in case others are as surprised by the statement as I was.)

A friend of mine worked for a high quality delivery company in my country. None of this pay-per-delivery, bring-your-own-car stuff; they have hourly paid drivers on stable predictable shifts, driving company vans with company insurance, overtime pay if a route ran long - and a biometric clocking-in system.

It turns out a driver can pick up their delivery van, drive around the corner and hand it over to their buddy (an undocumented migrant, who can't get the job themselves), then go work another job, and meet up again at the end of the shift to return the van. Then they split the wages.

Even without the 'independent contractor' stuff, it is extremely difficult for a delivery company to stop drivers from doing this.

If there are requirements for replacement drivers that their substitute won't meet they can simply not report the substitution, instead sharing a login or sharing a phone.

> ... link to Gödel's incompleteness theorems

That's a proof of some limits of formal systems — particularly those that want to formalise everything under one unified set of axioms — not limits of mathematics. Mathematics / the universe does care one iota if you use this particular set of axioms or another. Or even any. It continues to work without a care for your need to have a grand unified theory. That you cannot discover all of its secrets because you restricted yourself is not its concern.

Maths is how the universe works, whether you understand it or not.

It's hard for the US to ban TikTok without violating the 1st Amendment.

My solution is: Until China opens up to foreign apps, the FTC should tell Google and Apple that they won't take any antitrust action if Google and Apple replace Tiktok with alternative apps (like Youtube Shorts) in their app stores. Then let Google and Apple do what they want to do already. No need for any heavy-handed government action which could violate the 1st Amendment.

I strongly favor a peaceful relationship with China, but peace is best achieved through reciprocity. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Yep. I'm surprised anyone hears a problem like this without immediately thinking of maps and sets. I was expecting the naive/"poor candidate" solution to just be memory-inefficient uses of those data structures. The O(n^2) solution is something that you might do when you're just starting to learn programming, but anyone ready to apply for jobs should see that it's not only extremely inefficient, but IMO requires more cognitive effort than just throwing the data into maps and letting the standard library do the heavy lifting (even if that is still not optimal).

Perhaps it costs real money to submit each video to these platforms as a means to offset the moderation and rating efforts. Similar to what others have suggested to reduce spam emails.

Off the top of my head, requiring money to post videos to these platforms would immediately reduce the sheer huge volume of spam and automated/auto-generated videos. It would also reduce spam from LCOL regions that weaponize their low-value of time in order to game the system.

Not only that, but it would solve identity and age verification (as it'd require a credit card).

In my opinion this just fragments the rust ecosystem and creates more problems than it solves. What about to just have mirrors of crates.io?

And I completely disagree that that someone else than the authors should distribute or manage the package. They know the best how and what there is to do in certain situation (security fixes and so on). Of course it is good to have independent reviews, but these independent people should not be in charge of updating, maintaining and updating these packages/libraries.
Given Truth Social brought in something like 2.3M during that time, it’s more that their investors are paying his legal fees.

What does that tell you about feminist theory?

Agree. Our interview technique is a trimmed down but somewhat realistic coding exercise. We do it as a pair programming exercise and we tell them up-front that this should be an interactive and positive experience, we're not trying to trick them or put them under pressure. It'll test the candidates ability to actually do the job they'll be doing if we hire them, which is to write code in an IDE. We do it with them, so they can ask questions on libraries they're not familiar with and so on. Obviously we're not going to solve the problems in exercise for them, but if they do get stuck, we'll help move them forward.

The coding exercise will involve writing tests, deisgn of classes, working with floating point arithmetic, working across thread barriers, some fairly standard maths, and so on.

I actually can't say we're hired a bad candidate yet and they all report that the interview is a positive experience.

In my fairly long career I've been through about 10-15 interview processes. A few of them were quite toxic and those were the "just cram leetcode for months" type. I never want to inflict that on someone else.

There is a spin on the same idea when working with data (maths/stats/comp/ML) and having to skirt around the curse of dimensionality. Suppose I have a 5-dimensional observation and I'm wondering if it's really only 4 dimensions there. One way I check is - do a PCA, then look at the size of the remaining variance along the axis that is the smallest component (the one at the tail end, when sorting the PCA components by size). If the remaining variance is 0 - that's easy, I can say: well, it was only ever a 4-dimensional observation that I had after all. However, in the real world it's never going to be exactly 0. What if it is 1e-10? 1e-1? 0.1? At what size does the variance along that smallest PCA axis count as an additional dimension in my data? The thresholds are domain dependent - I can for sure say that enough quantity in the extra dimension gives a rise to that new dimension, adds a new quality. Obversely - diminishing the (variance) quantity in the extra dimension removes that dimension eventually (and with total certainty at the limit of 0). I can extend the logic from this simplest case of linear dependency (where PCA suffices) all the way to to the most general case where I have a general program (instead of PCA) and the criterion is predicting the values in the extra dimension (with the associated error having the role of the variance in the PCA case). At some error quantity >0 I have to admit I have a new dimension (quality).

> What’s interesting is that this problem is largely solved for C and C++: Linux distributions like Debian package such a wide range of libraries that for many things that you want to develop or install, you don’t need any third-party libraries at all.

This does not reflect my observations at all. It works if you’re an end user and the software you want has been packaged. But if either of those is not the case, you’re left in the mud. Rather, you end up with builds that are difficult to set up or reproduce except on specific platforms, require a lot more maintenance over time because bitrot occurs naturally (your code depends on libexample 1, but Debian only package version 2 now, so good luck dusting off that project you made five years ago and getting it to build again), vendoring upon vendoring, more diverse and generally lower-quality dependencies for a particular task, and other problems like these. You’ve solved one problem, but at a very significant cost that must be acknowledged, even if you decide it’s still worth it.

Take an app written five years ago that depends on majorish C++ libraries, and there’s a fair chance compiling it will be a nightmare and require invasive surgery due to version incompatibilities. It’s not improbable that the most pragmatic solution may be to find and rebuild the transitive package tree for some older version of some package, and that’s generally quite painful (and can be outright incompatible).

Take an app written five years ago in pure Rust, and it’ll almost certainly (p>0.99) still work fine. Take an app written five years ago in Rust that binds to some C/C++ library, and there’s a fair chance you’ll run into trouble, but it will almost certainly be a good deal easier to resolve, much more likely to work with only a version bump and no other changes than in C/C++.

As a developer, I know which general mode of operation I prefer. Debian are welcome to twiddle the dependencies in the way that suits their chosen requirements, but the canonical sources are still crates.io, and I know that when they’ve stopped packaging example-1.0.0, I won’t be beholden to their packaging but can just use `cargo build` and it’ll still work (contingent upon extern bindings).

I’m dubious that any meaningful curation is happening, and curious if there’s even cursory review of crate contents. But most of all, I’d be interested in a statistical comparison of the crates that Debian ships with the most-downloaded crates from crates.io. I suspect the sets would look very similar.
