> Cargo does have a build script mechanism, with a major use case being integrating with other languages at compile time

I already use cmake and my own custom build environment manager. While there are warts it is setup and works well enough that I don't want to switch. But rust wants me to forget about all that and use cargo. While in theory I can use something else, they don't bother documenting those workflows (I'm not convinced they will keep them working if I do get it working)
I don't think the website where you download the PDF from matters much, the journal claims to be peer reviewed https://www.iospress.com/catalog/journals/algorithmic-financ....

> Note that the "journal" editor is the author of the paper.

Interesting, I didn't notice that. The journal does have other editors too, see the first page of the PDF.
What I’m saying is that if they are claiming this is the outcome they wanted, they are lying.

The truth that I think they are trying to hide is that they are losing adoption to their Amazon-backed competitor and that they will bleed more customers if they don’t go open source again.

I think that when they made the original decision to change the license they thought their product had more pull than it really did. They thought customers would leave Amazon’s managed product for their “superior” product rather than Amazon’s “inferior” fork. They thought people wouldn’t trust Amazon to have the expertise to continue development. In reality what customers wanted was a managed solution from their cloud provider, they didn’t really care if it was Elastic or not.

I totally understand that the situation was a pickle for Elastic in terms of being able to be a sustainable company and perhaps they had to do something. But the thing they did didn’t work, or else they would have stuck with it.

In my experience companies that modify the licensing of their products or get bought by bad stewards like IBM (Hashicorp) or Progress (Chef Software) scare away the engineering managers who make purchase decisions.
In my experience, "founder mode" is when founders intuitively understand what is best for their business and steer clear of cargo cult practices. All too often, professional management falls back on formulaic methods that end up driving businesses into the ground. This post [1] is a great case study of one such instance.

> Presumably you need to be connected to wifi to obtain games

Not only that, but the API link provided by the author specifies that scores are stored in the device if Wifi is offline and uploaded later, so aparently, there's no way to block uploading unless the device is hard-reset (is that even possible?) before connecting to Wifi to get another game.

The only good thing I see is that the score board is not mandatory and it seems pretty benign if no other data is attached by the OS when scores are uploaded. But then, if scores are supported, 90% of the tracking infrastructure is already there.

Hm I'd go even simpler than that. Notably, I'd not do this:

> So the user would enter "first name" into the plugin's search field.

Why wouldn't the user just enter "first_name" or "firstName" or something like that? I'm thinking about situations like, you're looking at backend code that's snake_cased, but you also want it to catch frontend code that's camelCased. So when you search for "first_name" you automagically also match "firstName" (and "FirstName" and "first-name" and so on). I wouldn't personally introduce some convention that adds spaces into the mix, I'd simply convert anything that looks snake/kebab/pascal/camel-cased into a regex that matches all 4 forms.

Could even be as stupid as converting "first_name" or "firstName", or "FirstName" etc into "first_name|firstname|first-name", no character classes needed. That catches pretty much every naming convention right? (assuming it's searched for with case insensitivity)

Of course, a lot of that old neutron transport work is now used for ray tracing in cinema production. Metropolis (and MCMC is general) is one, and I also remember some sort of volumetric scattering thing as well.
Recursion isn't necessarily the problem per se - it's the sheer number of tasks. When you're at the level of "open terminal to project directory", it takes less time to do it than to write it down, but more importantly, you'll end up creating a 100 of those tiny tasks, and the overhead of keeping them up to date can easily suck all your motivation (and time) dry.

I think your "advanced animatronic" is a duck until you can devise a test that cleanly separates it from a "real duck". A test of "duckness".

If todays LLMs are not really intelligent (hardly anyone is arguing that LLMs are literally humans) then by all means, devise your intelligence test that will cleanly qualify Humans (and all creatures you ascertain are capable on intelligence) and disqualify LLMs. In good faith, it should be something both or all can reasonably attempt.

I'll save you some time but feel free to prove me wrong. You will not be able to do so. Not because LLMs can solve every problem under the Sun but because you will at best create something that disqualifies LLMs and a good chunk of humans along the way.

Anybody who cannot manage this task (which should be very simple if the difference is as obvious as a lot of people claim) has no business saying LLMs aren't intelligent.

My point is that if grep tools were more powerful we wouldn't need this very particular kind of consistency, which gives us the very big benefit of being allowed to keep every part of the codebase in its idiomatic naming convention.

I didn't miss the point, I disagreed with the point because I think it's a tool problem, not a code problem. I agree with most other points in the article.
I wonder how much of it is unwillingness to explain rather than the inability to do so? The vibe I got was that the audience was not interested in changing their ways, after all they've been doing things their way for decades with great success. I have to also credit the presenters, they stayed on the topic and pretty calm despite the heckling.

If that presentation encapsulates the state of things, the Rust for Linux definitely have their work cut out for them. Borrow checker seems like a small matter compared to the political issues.

Have they not previously learned the verb "to triple" ?
I didn’t say anything like that. That’s what you heard.

In the analogy you make I think it’s more likely we need to call CPS.
Not exactly, but I think that analogies with everyday experiences can help to show how silly some of these hypotheses are when considered in more concrete terms. “People have lots of incentives to eliminate Xs, therefore there won’t be any Xs” is an argument schema for which counterexamples abound.

To be fair, the "Bug Free Code Hypothesis" is kind of true. Because there are lots of incentives to eliminate bugs, people do put a lot of time and effort into doing so – yielding modern miracles such as OS kernels with 30 million lines of code that almost always work as intended.

But while software is bug free to a perhaps surprising extent, it would be foolish to plan a software project on the assumption that there will not be any bugs to fix, or that a small number of bugs cannot have a big impact. Similarly, it seems unwise to assume the efficiency of markets in economic planning (though I don't know to what extent economists actually do this).
How does either of those lead to less cargo volume for the same or larger length?
I'm not sure if I got the question but feel free to join the discord server and we'll have a chat about it!
This sounds like the advice to prefer the variable name 'ii' over 'i' because you can easily search for it. I loath such advice because it causes the code to become ugly. Similarly, there are 'YODA Conditions' which make code hard to comprehend which solves an insignificant error that is easily caught with tooling. The problem with advice like these is you will encounter deranged developers that become obsessive about such things and make the code base ugly trying to implement dozens of style rules. Code should look good. Making a piece of text look good for other humans to comprehend I consider to be job #1 or #2 for a good developer.

Everybody uses Linux every day, on the server. It's evolved to become the leading cloud OS by a wide margin because its trimmed-down nature and command line interface are perfect for servers where there's no one sitting at a screen.

Windows and MacOS always targeted the desktop user and their need for a robust and complex UI, so those platforms won there. But much of what we used to do on those boxes got moved to Linux work that happens on a server.

Yeah, I want to somehow address this too, Dawarich will suggest a place that you visited and will keep it inside a visit record, so it won't be overridden if some other business will open there instead.
As an aside: It’s way less ergonomic, but you likely want `Promise.allSettled` rather than `Promise.all` as the first promise that throws aborts the rest.
It seems like the law of diminishing returns; while I'm sure in a few cases this characteristic of a code writing style is extremely useful, it cuts into other things such as readability and conciseness. Fewer lines can mean fewer bugs, within reason, if you aren't in lisp and are using more than 3 parentheses, you might want to split it up because the compiler/JIT/interpreter is going to anyway.
The way "efficient markets" were taught in my econ classes was similar to the idea of a "limit" in calculus. A market can never reach efficiency but it can approach at ever diminishing returns.

Efficiency can also include non-tangible value. A lot of people want to own Tesla shares because it makes them feel cool or techie, so it trades at a huge premium over the fundamentals. But it doesn't change the fact that if there is an expected increase or decrease in company performance, the going share price will still adjust amazingly quickly.

So "efficiency" is really in the eye of the beholder. One person can look at a circle from 10 feet away and say, "look a perfect circle!" and the other can say "there are no perfect circles" and the second person can be technically correct, but the first person's observation may be perfectly valid.
Would work fine for jobs or deadlines, as long as the deadline isn't always in a day or two.

Striving to focus on important problems instead of just urgent problems would work fine with this method.

> and there were multiple order of magnitude less options to choose from

So true. I remember downloading a bunch of stuff to do some Perl development on Windows 98. About 3MB of files IIRC that took forever to download on my dialup connection. Yet, it was so much easier to focus, basically because there weren't many other options and the .chm files that accompanied the interpreter could keep me busy for hours during the week.

Sometimes I try to reproduce that environment by limiting my own options in terms of technologies and learning resources. Probably not the most efficient way to get stuff done, but I find it more sustainable long-term.
The terminology here is: dispatched.

Non-dispatchable renewables like wind and solar can only be curtailed when their supply is not wanted.

Solar panel farms with advanced inverters in some markets actually make a significant portion of their revenue from the frequency control ancillary services, and Solar+storage is extremely dispatchable.
The second culture that you describe happens also to be how OCaml structures things in modules. It's quite a turnoff for me.

> The problem with advice like these is you will encounter deranged developers that become obsessive about such things and make the code base ugly trying to implement dozens of style rules

That's more of a "deranged developer" problem than a problem with the guidelines themselves. E.g. I think his `getTableName` example is quite sensible, but also one which some dogmatic engineers would flag and code-golf down to the one-liner.
That’s the non-standard part. His parentheses may add context and may serve as proper child nodes or just float there linking to the most semantically relevant parts.
> Maybe this is a revelation to…someone? I don’t know why Eugene Fama saying this in 2024 is considered news. The guys entire body of research since the 1960s is about market inefficiencies.

Because there are still significant numbers of people, many of whom are in positions of power, who think that increases in market efficiency solve all problems in a society.

When you have people thinking that shortages of things like "food", "medicine", "shelter", and "water" can be solved by simply adjusting prices until some people can no longer participate in the market, you don't have a hypothesis, you have a cargo cult, and a psychopathic one at that.
Hmm, are you sure about the localized messages? They typically use 'you' instead of third-person pronouns like 'he' or 'she.'
The problem there is that the owner of a car that’s good as far as they know (but not a given as a major repair of an older car could be just around the corner) may sell anyway so they can buy a new car even if they think they’re not getting a good deal. But certainly of cars that know they have major not easily detectable problems will be much quicker to sell or trade in. (I know.)
> Companies never have a negative price. Also, just look at stock graphs. Companies are not priced by geometric browning methods.

Geometric Brownian motion can't take negative values either, so I don't know what you think this proves. While it's true that stock prices don't literally follow geometric Brownian motions (+drift), you can't tell the difference from stock graphs. (You can tell the difference with statistical tests if you know what to look for, e.g. volatility clustering, but humans can't tell by eye, and naive classification ML models will not perform well.)
