A lot of meaningful discussion for Rust happens on the /r/rust subreddit.

What about child labor laws?

I'm not the person you are responding to. I see where you are coming from, but I have a hard time seeing things like unionization resulting in this. I think the drivers are likely to advocate for their own interests, and would probably

That would probably be a good solution. We will see if it is politically tenable.

To establish a reference point, would you say this about labor laws in general? ie get rid of any labor laws and let the market sort itself out.

This article paints an overly rosy picture of self driving cars. A significant cause of traffic on our roads is single occupancy vehicles. Opening up the gates to zero occupancy vehicles could cause the number of cars on the road to skyrock

How often do employers give that out? Are you telling me I can tell how much my friends used to make?

There is a good chance you are right. With that said, privacy isn't important to Google and Facebook, but net neutrality is important to their business. I think if net neutrality repeal were in a congressional bill, a lot of big compan

Isn't this what happens when you do everything through the executive, rather than legislative, branch? If net neutrality were required by law, the FCC chairman would to some degree be compelled to enforce it.

I hope down the road, if the program is successful, they can increasingly push for open hardware in the machine.

Ah okay, I guess I didn't understand the distinction.

What I don't understand is Shuttleworth basically said "the market has spoken, and does not want an Ubuntu phone." But I checked their website a few times a year to see if I could buy an Ubuntu phone and always saw a message

Years ago when I tried to use it, the default currency was the Euro. As an American, doing the currency exchange on their website added friction to the transaction.

For those that don't read materials about optimization as much as they maybe should, what is "w⋆"? It used without introduction and I don't know what it is. Perhaps this a convention I am not aware of?

Fair enough. I think without coding interviews networking would become even more important than it is now, and it is already very important now. Moving more towards a "networking" world would mean things are less a meritocracy. It

Maybe this is saying the same thing, but I interpreted it as "If a handful of developers write an application that millions use, then saving a few seconds per user can add up." I've seen this applied to the Linux kernel, wher

How would you do that? Also, saying there will be a coding interview up front does cause people to self select.

Even if something represents 2% of your cases, if no one at a company or on the team has algorithmic problem solving skills it will represent more than 2% of your development time.

Perhaps what is best for someone isn't what is best for the field as a whole. The field itself may be fine even if the individuals in seem to be struggling from a high level. For example in sports, if people weren't struggling to

I could see this working in mathematics and many branches of computer science. How would this work in environments that require large outlays of money to do experiments? Do you just hand untested individuals large sums of money and leave th

One part of the article caught my attention > Starbird says she’s concluded, provocatively, that we may be headed toward “the menace of unreality — which is that nobody believes anything anymore.” I think a cynical and distrustful popula
