One that's not listed there but might be a good candidate for a Rust project is miri [1] since it's both interpreted and still Rust. It's still pretty rough, but the approach it takes should perform pretty well and won't

Ahh...but what percent of malpractice payments are consumed by legal fees? Enough for many, many free lunches. Also, if health care coverage were universal, we wouldn't need big medical settlements to cover future medical costs since t

Costs are also somewhat ideological too. A good for instance is the US belief in suing any time something bad happens. From what I can tell, 10% of every dollar spent on health care in the US goes towards malpractice insurance for doctors.

FWIW, email only sorta interoperates...try running your own mail server and unless you get all the elements of server reputation exactly right, your email will probably not get delivered to people using the large email providers. Thanks to

The free market is also not the panacea that many people think it is. Broadband is an industry where there is a natural monopoly, which is never good for consumers. Last mile infrastructure just costs too much and you can't have umptee

It also shows how necessary it is to have some sort of deprecation process. Maintaining nonsensical landmine features for compatibility with an operating system released 36 years ago is putting the interests of MS's lazy long-term user

The more plausible explanation, to me, is that it's part of the wealth transfer to the upper class. US Government contractors make billions off war-related contracts and US contractors have lucrative contracts in many Middle East count

I don't think it's necessary to be off it, but I do believe it's necessary to be intentional how you use it and aware of how it impacts you. For my own part, I don't share updates about my life anymore and I now ignore u

For what it's worth, I'm older than you and started in ops. If it helps to put things into context, I spent a ton of 1997 using a chisel to shave a bit off standard RAM to help avoid Sun's near 10x markup. The startup I worke

It makes more sense in the context of the criticism that Docker gets. It's a counter to the inane "Docker isn't stable enough, Docker isn't secure enough, Docker isn't whatever enough to use in production" crit

There's still some legitimately good content, both on the channels and in print, but you just have to wade through a mountain of keep-you-engaged filler content to find it. The 30 for 30 series had some really high quality, poignant do

Yeah...pining for the days of banner ads, IE6, Flash and dog-slow JavaScript seems like a very publisher-centric worldview. If Google feels like an oppressive monopoly, it would be from the publisher side of the equation. I can definitely s

Counterpoint...For years, Google's search page was famously minimal/unbloated. That lack of bloat and overall search speed was a big part of them winning.
