In other words, if your retirement savings is $200K and you lose 50% of it, at best you're going to have to make major changes to your plans. At worst (depending on how much debt you have) you're in for some real pain.

A billionaire with $200B in wealth could lose 99% of that and still have $2B, generational wealth that will perpetually fund an entire family tree down to great great grandchildren.
Was Box::leak ever considered unsafe? std::mem::forget is very similar to that.

Crashes, stability, and performance issues are still not safety issues since there’s so many ways to cause those beyond memory leaks. I don’t know the discussion that was ongoing in the community but I definitely appreciate them taking a pragmatic approach and cutting scope and going for something achievable.
He said it's a nothingburger, then showed why. What a collosally unhinged asshole!
"The years that pass eat up your margin for error until there is no margin left. The mistakes you make are no longer flaws of inexperience, they are flaws of character. To be young is to be constantly on the precipice of perfection – just a little further and you’ll get there – but you never get there, and suddenly you’re old, and find yourself in a permanent state of imperfection, which you must reckon with."

What a powerful observation.
At work, we have an "ACK" emoji we sometimes use in Slack.

In general, though, I prefer an actual text response - I won't see, or be notified, of an emoji reaction unless I go and look for it.

I like the idea of these phones, but I've no interest in spending extra for them.

I don't quite get the utility here. If I NEED a bigger screen, I'll bring a tablet, and if I'm on a long trip I likely would prefer a tablet / have one.

Maybe these become the wave of the future but an existing traditional smart phone works so well and the space between that and tablet just seems like an odd space to fill.

You are underestimating users' ability to ignore non strict constraints. Also when I can, why would I not increase my compile time checking ? There are very good reasons to use Enums, you seem to just want to ignore those reasons.

What makes it an "absolute certainty" for you?

FWIW human brain does indeed consume a lot of energy, accounting for over 20% of our body metabolism. We don't know how to attribute specific watts consumed to specific thoughts because we don't understand the functioning of the brain enough, but there's no obvious reason why it shouldn't be possible.

What you will be doing in your office environment will be unblocking that new grad in 20 minutes and then putting your noise-canceling headphones on and concentrating on your screen for the rest of the day.

And if new grads and product managers are actually able to easily disrupt an IC who is concentrating, that is a sh*tty workplace.
I agree, but mainly for some other reasons I won't be listing just now. As much as I find it all very cute and I'm a sucker for this kind of shit (I can already sense I would cry my heart out watching this at some point or another--I know, I'm very sensitive), it kinda looks like a long-winded tech demo or video placeholder.
>I'm not saying they're all crap, but I am saying that unqualified people are flooding those positions.

That's the part I'm wondering about. Because it seems like I don't hear reports from people who would hire doctors and lawyers, of having to deal with that.
> Flow and diffusion models are mathematically demanding subjects - which is why many lectures restrict themselves to teaching high level intuition.

I appreciate this - I hope norms develop to clearly identify whether learning materials / courses are about intuition or deeper applications that don't shy away from full prerequisites. They both have their place, but can be hard to find the latter amidst the sea of introductory materials that merely give intuition.

Start your own business. Then you will learn that your subordinates who are "smart, creative, and innovative" that aren't helping you get done what you need to have done are more hassle than they're worth. Alignment isn't just a concept that applies to AI.

There are realities to contend with, though. In corporate, unless someone directs a budget, the organization hasn't really issued any endorsement. Most companies are just churning rather than breaking new ground, so they value consistency.
I hate to say this but I am again surprised not by the ToS update from Mozilla but by the people who are surprised that Firefox or Mozilla is doing this.

May be I am way too cynical than average people. What is being stated here is actually inline of what they think is right. They think watching Porn is wrong. Which is why you shouldn't use Firefox to watch porn, or anything else they deemed wrong.

And that is speaking from someone who joined the Firefox 1.0 New York Times Ad.

I guess we will all have to do it again. This time for Ladybird.
I'll take a whack at this since I have some relative experience from playing at a functional exec in my last role

we used Lattice in an organization of ~150 people. We had roughly 10 leaders (exec and non-exec), responsible for various functions. The most any one leader had in their reporting tree was ~40 (one of the Eng leaders)

For Lattice, at least from what I was exposed to, the surveys ARE anonymous. They know who has and hasn't submitted a survey because everyone gets a personalized link, but that is not aggregated up into some dashboard where UUIDs are mapped back to respondents. It's something like "Bill in finance has 4 directs, and 2 of those haven't pressed submit on their unique survey." But as you can figure, that does not matter AT ALL. Anyone with a modicum of attention can figure out who wrote what when you have a reporting tree that small. You will see the responses broken out by leader, by function (say, Sales for example), and then division, whole company. The only people who had access to all the results AFAIK were the CEO, the head of IT, and HR.

In short, it's anonymity theater if your leadership has any inkling of how you communicate. I knew exactly who wrote what from my teams, and so did my leadership peers.
My fellow Americans. This is my take on the situation, my opinion:

Right now, the Oligarchs (yes, we have them) are in the process of dismantling the public sector. During this process they have access to all the know-how and data. (That is a form of public-IP theft in broad daylight, btw.)

Then, when quite predictably the shit hits the fan -- as we all know many of these components of the public estate are critical services -- these same oligarchs will create private companies and "our government" will contract out these very same services to the private sector.

And yes, having thrown both baby and the bathwater into the jobless market, they also are building up the uber rolodex of competent ex-civil servants. Many, naturally, will end up working for the very same oligarchs that fired them.

It is an error in my opinion to utilize a partisan lens when considering what is happening to our nation. Trump, Elon, Thiel, and their youth shock troops are floatsome that are riding a wave that is cresting now, but the wave was set in motion during 90s when barriers erected to prevent concentration of Media and Finance in few hands were taken down by the governer from Cocaine Central. The red-blue circus is just that in my opinion.
I think that's a retcon. Rust people did not "decide that leaking is safe" all of a sudden, that's cart-before-horse. Rust's memory model was still in its early stages back then and there was a belief (in hindsight, a mistaken belief) that destructors could be used as a means to guarantee memory safety. This turned out to be poorly reasoned and so, to preserve a consistent model of safety for other code, it was decided that having safety rely on the invocation of destructors was unsound. It's not possible to do this without also having leaks be safe, so that's the world as it is.

If "is leaking memory safe?" is an issue of contention for you, I'd suggest that it's a good idea to do some reading on what memory safety is (I mean that in all sincerity, not as a dunk). Memory safety, at least by the specific and highly useful definition used by compiler developers, is intimately entangled with undefined behaviour, but memory leaking sits entirely outside this sphere. This is as true in C and C++ as it is in Rust.

That's not obviously true, especially given how the more we keep digging into physics, the more everything seems to be "just information".

Current evidence shows humans have been around on Earth for about 300,000 years.

Corporate companies with warehouses have been around for about 200 years.

So yes, warehouses are a relatively recent thing. The majority of human societal development happened before then.

Show HN: I made an app for Russian language learners to help them text better
Hey everyone!

I’ve been learning the Russian language on and off for over 15 years now. I took classes in college, and of course continued my education through apps like Duolingo.

I started learning the language because one of my closest friends growing up was Russian, and I thought it would be cool to be able to speak with him in his language.

Of all the ways I’ve learned the language, not one of them focused on the modern way we communicate: through text.

I decided to make this app to create a text-first language learning experience --mostly so I could keep up with my friends’ groupchat.

I’m sharing it here in hopes that it helps you in the same way that it’s helped me, so you can quickly and confidently type out at least the most essential Russian words.
I feel bad for this age cohort.

Those a little bit older who started during or right after the dot bomb fiasco knew (or should have known) that software might pay well or "is fun/interesting" but have a plan to get out by 40.

I discussed this with same age or older colleagues and tried to impress upon younger colleagues the importance of saving and investing and lifestyle inflation etc.

If you started in 2005 or later you could be forgiven for think you'd found the golden ticket and 6 future salaries, bonuses and stock were never going to end just bc you could npm a bunch of js together.
> Not to be overly whataboutistic, but we tolerate sooo much more from other players. It's annoying how we hold some to a higher standard, but ignore others doing worse.

Who is "we"? It certainly doesn't include me.

Someone who tries to gain your trust only to betray it gets a stronger reaction than a known bad actor doing what they are known for? Color me surprised.

> I get people are disappointed in Mozilla and wants them to do better, but it's a bit like the "we live in a society meme", where those doing good must be perfect or else

You are talking like mozilla made a mistake. Yet their response was not to apologize but to claim people are just confused.

How much shit can Mozilla pull before people are allowed to say enough is enough?
And doing the quickmath based on the UI saying that 25,150 pts == $50.30 along with them saying 600 pts ~= 15 minutes of work... this is coming out to be ~$4.80/hr. No thanks.

No, that's false.

The jury found actual damages, and the judge awarded punitive damages, both on the facts presented by the plaintiffs because there was nothing else to consider, but the plaintiffs were not simply awarded what they asked for.

To me it seems more like "How to be horrible to everyone" or "How to arm-twist people into becoming 'resources'" or "What to do when your spanner, er sorry human being, gets uppity."

Normal people are imperfect and instead of trying to kick them in the arse to try and make homogeneous things, one should work out how to use their strengths.

Actual problem employees are the ones who don't care about the job or other people and nothing works on them.
did it not occur, or is it not how other people live? yes I'm guilty of projecting that other people drive to the store despite living somewhere that I can take the public electric trolley and walk to places in my life.
i doubt it. $100 in AAPL and $100 in VTI are counted the same way in the stat.
I suspect they have some numbers on how much the ipad cellular is sold and how often that feature is used and they may be using that to determine whether it's worth it.

But now that they develop the chip in house, I don't see why they wouldn't include it. In fact, given they put an Apple Watch chip and extra display in their macbooks for a few years, I don't see why they haven't done it years ago.

edit: I googled, apparently Qualcomm's licensing fees are a percentage of the whole device the chipset is installed in. I suppose it's less of a factor now that some iPhones are more expensive than Macbooks though.
Kudos for building something new, fresh & exploring, experimenting.

The hierarchical highlight journalling system
Yep. People always think that the aristocracy of old was different. No, they were just normal people like anyone else who were just directly born into narcissist privilege and lived their lives out-of-touch right from their childhood on. The tech execs, investors, VCs, and shareholders have grown into the same narcissism after attaining that kind of privilege. With enough time in that privileged, disconnected, narcissistic world, they just develop the same behavior patterns and 'disconnect'.

People criticize the French Revolution for the execution of nobility, but their level of disconnect was at a "Send letters to your foreign aristocrat relatives asking them to come to your country to massacre your people to put them in their place and collaborate with them to do that" level.

Its amazing to see the disconnect of the modern nobility nearing those levels...
> Even many of my friends in Seattle, for example, have discovered that if they move 30-60 minutes away their housing costs plummet dramatically.

And there are plenty of nice places to live in that radius! I'm in Tacoma which I really like. And Seattle is plenty accessible for shows, events, a night out.

I did what your friends did. After 6y of paying off student loans and saving cash (not even being frugal - enjoying Seattle for sure), we looked at Tacoma and realized "oh we have our pick of wonderful homes here."
The spirit of Moore’s law is alive and well. It’s just that it doesn’t cover the whole story; it ignores efficiency, because that wasn’t a huge concern back then.

Sure, it’s not literally true of literal transistor density, but it feels arrogant to invent new names for the overall phenomenon that Moore observed. Like the way we still talk about Newton’s laws despite very valid “actually technically” incompleteness.
