Doesn't sound all that different from other professions. When a client asks for something logically impossible, it's a case of them not being as good at creating logically consistent models. The domain is about as irrelevant as wh

Modding is also very rare, but it is different from the game providing tools for integrating the game with the outside world.

Don't play genres, a genre is inherently about something that sold well enough to spawn lots of clones. Like a lot of software, the need for commercial success compromises many good ideas.

Giving people money they need to survive conditional on them doing work that isn't economical is that.

Making people do pointless work is stupid and cruel. If they can't do anything useful, just give them the same amount of money you were going to pay anyway.

Calculus is older and better designed than git, so I don't find it surprising!

GP is pointing out that it's hypocritical to expect to be paid for open source contributions and at the same time pay nothing to upstream projects.

Aren't non-binary flags even worse from the point of view of deleting them? There is a very good reason feature flags are binary: they start in one state and end in the other.

Zero-cost abstractions are exactly that: - you only pay for what you use - if you use it, you couldn't implement it better yourself There's no such thing as literally zero cost, obviously. Graydon was saying that even this fairly

UBI is orthogonal to increasing money supply, it's a single item in the budget among all others.

That's a mischaracterization. The issue is that the yet-unknown member of rust leadership violated the norms, and neither of the two teams involved were able to do anything about it. The problem is not the beef but the way it was handl

There's likely a clever way to do that despite Wing's explanation, but it'll be a whole separate project. Wing will pave the way and come up with a good abstraction or two, then become obsolete once general purpose languages

If a boom-bust cycle creates an economic surplus, then people suffering is an issue of negative externalities and unfair distribution of resources. The solution is to pay people who got laid off, not under-hire.

> Is there anything to prevent the pay for our most important and meaningful jobs from approaching zero? Raise requirements so that only top X% are allowed to do the job. Balance X so that it's the buyer's market, but barely.

That's a completely different argument, and a worse one at that.

Makes more sense to compare it to gRPC at least: REST is not a standard, and JSON-over-HTTP doesn't offer enough to be worth a discussion. Does JSONRPC have tooling for generating clients or API documentation?

It's more convenient to have a single binary that does all related operations depending on how it is run.

Interestingly, the "warrens and plazas" view can be seen as a critique of reddit-like designs. The front page of HN and the search are plaza-like, but their ability to summarize across posts is poor: @dang posts comments with simi

It's a very short book, takes half an hour at most to read through if you skip implementation.
