Thanks! Yeah I feel like taking the job would be a good move, but since you mentioned risk I wanna ask. Wouldn’t not taking the job be the risk taker option? The current offer I know is good and most of what I want. Or I could turn it down

The job I got the offer from moved after than the others. Also two of the companies had hiring freezes and eliminated the position while I was interviewing.

"Almost 400 PhD economists working at the Fed. Last year they got inflation completely wrong. This year they got growth completely wrong. What use are they?" I know they have been very wrong, but I imagine economists at the fed ge

Definitely a good example, although you can extend it to so many. In the US if you say "tech" people suddenly scramble to you because everyone is afraid of betting against you and becoming blockbuster. Ex: Wework is another one.

Can't add to Amazon, but wanted to add another example of stack ranking problems. I and some friends worked for Capital One, which does stack ranking (but not the intense PIP that Amazon does). Overall the stack ranking isn't a hu

Based on this argument, shouldn’t Ross’ murder-for-hires be included in sentencing then? Clearly he didn’t just build a drug website, he was fine ending lives for it. A slap on the wrist (even if his family thinks he is a good guy) wouldn’

Could be survivor bias. All legacy code that isn't terrible is rewritten. All terrible legacy code isn't touched by anyone and therefore remains.

If this were true, and most kids are doing a cost/benefit analysis about future wealth, then we would say far more engineering/math majors.

To add, there are so many kids that go to college just because it’s suppose to be the next chapter of life. Allowing people to learn trades while still having “the college experience” I think would fix this.

+1 to this I ageee managers optimize for their own success, at the expense of the company, but how does that make them morons? Sure the company is hurt and work grinds to a halt, but are you saying the rational thing to do is take actions t

> (not that C is the best language out there) I think there are many people who might actually agree with this. Tbh, I think anyone making the argument the other is making, would rather Rust follow the path of C than the path of C++.

Well its the C coding calling the Rust that has no memory safety, the rust code exposed as the C binary will (assuming no unsafe block) be memory safe, despite appearing to C like other C code.

kinda feel like the title is earned. Linux (to my knowledge) is the most used operating system in the world and runs on all of the top 500 fastest super computers.

Ahh the classic “people were wrong once about a technology, therefore all potential technologies are good.” So if I found a quote about someone saying nuclear energy would power cars…would that disprove crypto? I guess so

To be fair, I am sure Rust catches a fair amount (compared to C++ which would catch 0). I just think that phrasing rust has having 0 memory errors can be a tad inaccurate.

Rust does no eliminate memory errors. 200+ memory safety errors were found in rust crates: https://www.infoq.com/news/2021/11/rudra-rust-safety/ I love rust, I think there's a good chance zig in its

Seeing Nim danger made me think, shouldn’t rust unsafe be added? Seems inaccurate to display rust as safe and not include what actually allows memory bugs to be found in public crates.

Right but I am saying why they adopt that mentality. They want a “just-world” of crypto not just for feeling safe but to justify crypto’s superiority.
