My point was that the development gap is what lead to the current situation, not that it's just cheap labor that makes Chinese stuff cheap. My point about maintaining higher economic efficiency is actually the same point you're ma

Well said. One of the USA's greatest exports is intelligence and higher education, and what has been happening with that and the general anti-intellectual atmosphere is to me the most concerning as an american. Ironically, public educa

I'm absolutely not an expert, but critical things for power and food production not to mention medical supplies and emergency equipment are also tied up pretty deeply in international trade. The world would break pretty quickly if we a

Just as America would like to reduce its dependence on external production, so to do other countries want to reduce their own. We used to live in a world converging toward maximal international trade, when in fact it was exploiting underdev

First of all I just want to say, I completely agree with the main point of this post, and argue for more full-lifecycle discussions on a regular basis at every job I've had. With that said, I partially disagree this block: > When I’

I just want to say, I always really appreciate your writing.

I looked into this a bit for a rust project I'm working on, it's slightly difficult to be confident, when you get all the way down to the CPU. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/17046 https:&

I feel like it's slightly different to cache duplicate parts of the input, vs storing outputs when a connection drops.

Author tries to avoid a database for storing tokens while the client is disconnected and ends up storing them in a pub/sub provider. There's no solution other than to store the tokens somewhere, or drop them. You have to make a ch

I think I'll just avoid commenting on jokes from now on.

Forgive me for not being funny.

I may have missed the * meaning. I got that the bloom filter was an extension of the joke as I mentioned below. I was just clarifying in case someone else missed the joke.

I guess I should have been more clear that I was just pointing out the obvious in case some confused reader missed the joke. lol

How is this time efficient at all? It takes upwards of 40 seconds to compute on large 32bit values. It's a joke post with some interesting bits and details.

100% Ownership is a critical and fading concept for software. And it makes me really sad and frustrated.

That's related. If you're dependent on updating your OS for security fixes and basic compatibility, you are also forced to update the things you may not want to. It's all bundled together.

I remember when this first became an issue, then they tweaked something and I noticed it a lot less. Something changed again recently (last couple years) where this is happening a lot again. I appreciate how Apple pioneered the touchscreen

We've built stacks so high we're afraid to jump off. Nobody is really competing because nobody can build a complete product. So there's less pressure to fix the little irritations. Users are mostly satisfied, and problems get

Quick give everyone colors to indicate their rank here and ban anyone with a grade less than C-. Seriously, while I find this cool and interesting, I also fear how these sorts of things will work out for us all.

I want to read a study that compares what readers estimate for much effort was put into producing the same page of text in two contemporary and basic serif and sans-serif fonts. My hypothesis is that the serif font is viewed as more polishe

i3/sway are so much snappier and simpler. I spend basically no time rearranging things with them and I don't have to do awkward drag and drop operations to get things where I want them.

It's been a long time since Apple was really the home for sane defaults for me. An easy example is how the workspaces rearrange themselves be mort recent use, and worse on iOS there's some seemingly random time interval at which t

Yea, this was what I thought I'd dealt with before but I couldn't remember. It's too bad the same hasn't happened to software notarization and signing systems. People will argue that having payments enforced some account

Is there a notion of tier 1 and tier 2 certificates? Like if I setup paid and backed by contract agreements with a cert provider, does this give users more confidence that their lock icon in the browser actually means they are talking to wh

Why is there a component on the board that isn't used in the product for any official purpose then? Even if you believe it was an accident and an oversight (which it could have been), you should be upset because it's something tha

I'm so sick of hearing about how "Rust brought cloudflare down". No it did not. Unhandled error cases are possible in any language, and calling `unwrap` is literally the developer telling the compiler, trust me, it's not

I for one welcome the use of type systems and PL research to guide me in expressing my programs in correct ways and telling me when I'm wrong based on solid principals. If you want to segfault for fun, there's a time and a place f

Except really the invocation of `unsafe` should indicate maybe you actually don't know what you're doing and there might be a safe abstraction like a mutex or something which does what you need.

A language that makes making a global mutable variable feel like making any other binding is a anti-pattern and something I'm glad Rust doesn't try to pretend is the same thing. If you treat shared state like owned state, you&#x2
