I also like the strategically elevated abstraction. Doesn't even mater how many warriors are sent into this battlefield, we're not even gonna show up. Although not really novel these days with respect to formatting. Perhaps IT is

Rust may be Mozilla's greatest _industry_ contibution, but for society I think it's not even close. Anyhow ¯\_(°ペ)_/¯ Rust is a great example of good engineering. There is a lot of old ideas put together in a way that makes t

Wow the downvotes.. was this really that controversial? Are we still trying to solve the problem with the same mindset we created it?

I can’t imagine an industrial approach that won’t fail on scale, lifecycle or both. These are not strategies to solve the problem these are strategies to get rich. The only kind of strategy that seems capable of delivering on both scale and

I think this was a great article, but the focus on the release cycle was probably not hitting the target as that is not on the primary feedback loop for rust development. That said, it is natural that any successful product goes through the

Is the quality degradation in news some variant of tragedy of the commons?

So this is why the integer multiply accumulate instruction mullah, only delivers the most significant bits? Ironic if you aren't religious about these things.

And I generally think good constraints are more empowering than good options when it comes to any form of systems design. It took me 20 years in the industry and 20 minutes with cynefin to understand this.

Or just do RSON? https://github.com/rson-rs/rson I honestly don't want to bash JS, but typing is not it's strength. (Not affiliated)

I agree that there be dragons, but maybe simpler metrics would be better? As an example; what if I could easily filter by crates supported by a team rather than a individual included in all its dependencies. That could be a way of doing ris

I'd love to see some kind of metric on crates.io to designate the quality of a crate. I appreciate that creating such a metric could lead to freak economics, so this is obviously not a trivial task, and the metric(s) may have to be mix

Actually I typically say “when do you have some time discussing X?” And sent it to one or two people. Personally I don’t like the phone and it works bad with urls... I find it rather common for techies not to like the phone too much.

I guess I could go something like «Hi I need one of you five people to give me some context on this topic I know little about right now so I can continue on my reasoning for what actions to take by the business to mitigate some problem” and

What is the chance of actually having left over doses in a densely populated area? The logistics are pretty simple with great numbers of consumers. It's another mater in a sparsely populated area.

I like web-assembly for the same reason I like Rust, actor-model and compile time checked state machines. It makes it more plausible that we can build robust services in the future. And it even feels like Computer Engineering when I'm

It struck me a while ago that the most powerful feature of rust is the strong contracts libraries can and must express. This allows people with much deeper knowledge than me to make awesome stuff I can depend on.

Patterns are nice, but dangerous to follow blindly in an immature and fast growing industry operating like a pop culture. As an example the book suggest to use YAGNI, a pattern/principle Jim Coplien suggest we fight. I’m inclined to ag

I once read a 350 micron CMOS spec of about 100 pages. Probably just a subset of the spec. Detailing the hundreds of different feature sizes. There is no way you can compact that into a single three digit number only describing the smallest

'Super Spreader' hardly describes Facebooks reach. It's an entire (miss)information pandemic in its own right.

The diversity of rust through having a lot of crates delivering fairly standard functionality is a dual edged sword. It is probably good for finding optimal long term solutions, but it leads to a lot of noise. This is not a challenge limite

Given the algorithm; generate text, cherry pick, edit. We could make a random number generator pass the turing test. It is just a mater of processing power and time.

Rust is memory safe, not infallible. Catching more runtime errors is a something rust can improve on. Erlang being one example of a strategy.

Bankruptcy SPoF is going to be an important optimization to consider, but it is really only a bad corner case of vendor lock-in, so not a novel problem. I do think CDNs are becoming attractive relative to other hosting models for pretty muc
