Many of us program for fun, and Rust is a joy to work with (especially compared to the alternatives in its niche), so we talk about it a lot. Of course, when you need to get serious work done, the most fun and enjoyable tool is not necessarily the one that's best suited to the job.

I think the point was that on a purely technical level, the LLMs as currently used can’t do anything on their own. They only continue a prompt when given. It’s not like a LLM could “decide” to hack the NSA and publish the data tomorrow, because it determined that this would help humanity. The only thing it can do is try to make people do something when they read the responses.
It's maybe no coincidence that some of the biggest companies that actually sell software (as opposed to user data) that I can think of are Epic, Salesforce, and Intuit. Imagine spending your evenings on volunteer work for a CRM system, bleh.

> feed 50 rats 1 gram of substance Y and they all die and that’s strong evidence on it’s own no need for statistical analysis.

Your theoretical study there tells you about substance toxicity, but it tells you very little about the real-world dangers of substance Y to rats.

Would rats choose to consume substance Y at all? How often and how compulsively? What are the effects on rats at the levels they choose to consume, rather than the effects on them at levels the scientists chose to dose them with? If most rats would choose to eat 1mg of Y, at most once a year, and that level doesn't seem to harm them, then that 50mg test has shown you nothing at all.

Substance Z doesn't kill at 50mg, in fact it's safe up to 1000mg, is it less harmful? Well that depends. If the rats compulsively gobble every bit of it they can find and then drop dead after a month, we can say that Z is much worse.

Imagine you worked in an alcoholic rehab centre. You have first hand evidence all around you of the horrific damage alcohol wreaks on its users. Many of them have liver problems, are aged by the booze and their tough lives. Some are battling cancers caused by the drink, others have severe mental impairments. Your impression of drinkers is likely very skewed.

That's what you're doing with your sample of LSD users. With alcohol you're explicitly excluding the equivalent group in your assessment - "You can reasonably safely consume a lot of alcohol without issue, as in 1-3 beers a night for a decade" - when we can be confident that the group of alcohol addicts is larger as a proportion and suffers from all sorts of issues you're happy to ignore.

This way of thinking is so common I'm considering naming it the "it's just a beer" fallacy. Most people who have a beer or two don't become alcoholics. Most people who drop acid once or twice don't become your dads friends. To gauge relative harm we need to figure out what 'most' means and what the consequences are across users. You don't get to select a moderate drinker and an extreme outlier acid-head and say "see! this one is worse!". That's not a valid comparison.
I would, but I didn’t want this to be a promotion.

> WD isn't selling the bare 2.5-inch drive on a standalone basis – at least not yet

Have been wondering about this for a while.

Even for the 3.5"s which they do sell the bare version, they're often more expensive than the packaged portable version. Lots of people therefore choose to buy them and then gut it to install the bare disks on their computers/NAS.

I don't quite get why it is this way. I can't imagine HDD have a large margin to begin with, surely the additional cost of a plastic casing, power adapter and cables should make them more expensive, not the opposite?
I've settled on LazyVim after many happy years with Jetbrain IDEs and very few unhappy years with VS Code. I have the impression that most Neovim users are building their own config, which is great, if you have the knowledge and personal resources.

I would still recommend spending some time understanding how the config generally works (e.g. by reading kickstart and watching TJs video or/and typecraft's videos). But then, I'd recommend to the person who just wants the best IDE experience to just use LazyVim (or other full blown distributions like AstroNvim). Great discoverability. Lots of features. I use LazyVim with LazyExtras. No customization except the color scheme and adding LSP and TS for Svelte and Rust. I got to work on my projects immediately.

My problem with Helix is that there're many for me important IDE features missing (which you get with LazyVim or AstrNVim or NVChad), decisions of the maintainers regarding the priorities and the that vim keybindings are ubiquitous.
This basically confirmed what I expected thank you. I noticed development started to slow after 1.0 and when the rust foundation was created.

The article goes on about watery and/or mealy avocado. I've personally found the best way to avoid this, and get a more interesting, nuttier flavor, is to buy small avocados. I like the trader joe's "teeny tiny avocado" bags.

It’s a mixed bag. Yes there is a lot of hipster fanboyism. But I’ve also seen a lot of old timers coming from a career in C++ where Rust basically formalizes a lot of best practices and removes a lot of the worst footguns. I see the hope in their miserable faces and so there is definitely something real about Rust – and not necessarily Rust itself, but just the proof of concept of it, that it’s possible to solve many of the problems low-level programmers have just accepted as fact-of-life for a long time.

Me personally I’m not from that background, and coming from higher level languages the selling points are not nearly as compelling given the learning curve and less mature ecosystem around many things. For instance, language performance is rarely the limiting factor in say API/backend development. Usually you have networking, io and databases eating most of your lunch, and also horizontal scaling is typically already in place for other reasons.
I've implemented a lot of client handling code and always wondered what the optimal back-off strategy was when I hit a rate limit. It's interesting to read about the trade offs from the perspective of the service since that can inform how a client best reacts.

I think it’s more of a skeptical mentality than a distrust. Don’t believe anything at face value kind of thing.
I'm entirely guessing, but the cost of warranty/support might be a factor too. If you buy an external drive in an enclosure, and mess up the removal-from-case and subsequent actual install, it's much easier to refuse obligations as the device was "misused". A bare drive sold to a private consumer probably has way more installation problems than anything else in this market.

(Again: guessing.)
>What metrics can they use that are not quickly gamed?

You're right, goodheart's law. But I do think the current metrics can definitely be improved.

We can definitely identify "quiet heroes", but people look towards others like them. For management, that's exactly those "high visibility", constantly reporting hype men (who can be high or low performers). Introverted IC's can still perform miracles, an introverted manager who spends most of their times in meeting would definitely struggle. Even if those skills are not necessarily what is needed to perform optimally at some roles, that is what managers seek out of everyone. Because that's how they got to where they were, after all.

There are ideas out there, but ultimately nothing will change until we can at least admit these biases first.
> Decentralized services run on protocols such that no one service provider or software project can dictate the experience for all users.

And? I guess that somewhat hinders enshittification just by making it hard for the platform to ever evolve at all. But the cure is worse than the disease, you can't ever build something new that way nor can you really improve something that has any level of traction. Look at how IRC users revolt when you try to fix even the most glaring problems.
Gosh what a terrible language.

> You're beholden to the distro e.g. if Lazy ever grows obsolete, Lazyvim could go too.

That is my only concern, too. But I decided not to worry. Getting into LazyVim was very easy, so I'm not concerned potentially having to switch to another distro or IDE.
> Urban renewal wasn’t as top-down as people say. The routing of freeways and public project placements were often determined by municipalities and states, not federal officials, and they chose targets like minority neighborhoods.

Some serious persecution complex going on in this article. I'm sure there were places where that did happen, but here's a counter-example in the way San Francisco's intended freeway layout was based on the existing layout of the City and County's nine districts: https://i.imgur.com/MSbpF5e.jpeg

I specify “residential” districts because SOMA is bisected but SOMA was all warehouses and freight railroad yards at the time so there was no reason to care.

As an American I find it difficult to buy power adaptors for travel to Italy. You can buy them in the US but once you're in Italy you discover they don't fit about half the outlets. The best solution is to visit a hardware store in Italy and buy some adapters and power strips. These usually work.

How is it anti-censorship to deliberately refer to someone incorrectly?

If you call a pelican a seagull, I'm not censoring you if I tell you that it's actually a pelican. And if you continue to call it a pelican because you have a problem with seagulls and think they suck, I'm also not censoring you if I point out you're being a jerk. Free speech goes both ways!

The key thing with WD is to not buy actual WD drives, but rather the originally HGST/IBM ones ("WUH…" part number). It seems they still haven't assimilated that company purchase on the technical side, and those drives seem pretty good (according to Backblaze stats at least.)
>here'll be work record somewhere, either emails, commits (if they're software engineers) or system audit trails.

Sure, it'll be somewhere. Will a manager bother looking around for that when it comes time to layoff? Do they even care about that to begin with? Are they even close enough to the product where they bother to look at something like a commit log? Half may not even look at the dang Jira points they keep forcing teams to keep up with.

It comes down to care, and to be frank (in my experiences) almost no manager cares enough to take that time. They have a lot of other stuff on their plate, after all. They aren't rewarded for retention, they don't necessarily get punished if the companies underperforms as long as they can rationalize a scapegoat. why try to retain these low key "glues"?

>if you ask those 20 people during performance review, it'll clear as day.

My performance reviews tended to be personal, in my experience. a skip manager/director may ask about my direct lead, but other than that I can't recall ever calling someone out (good or bad) during one.

It comes down to the same metric, are those managers/directors going to take the time to ask everone about who they think is an unsung hero?
At the minimum it would be a CFAA violation.
