I am not sure you can define a culture, it already exists and is developing "naturally" in your team. What you can try is to find out what are the motivating trait of your existing culture by talking with your peers, and formalize

It was not clear from my post, but what I would like to have is a RTOS with an implementation of the Rust std modules, to be able to develop an application on top of it. As far as I know, no one is working on that.

The polarized political landscape is probably a result of the voting system though. In a winner take it all systems, you can get a vote at "any cost" since you won't have to make any coalition later. The only thing in favor o

Even if, you leave the original in a pristine state, the fact that multiple copies are available and can be used (for good or nefarious purpose), dilutes or erodes the value of the original. And this is true for both digital content or some

Given that there is usually a few "defects" per 1000 line of code, for any given language, it is better to achieve the same functionality with 10 kLoc than 100 kLoc. That being said there is always a balance between readability an

I understand the rationale but I have the feeling we are still "not there", and in the mean time, this is kinda lacking. So thanks to op to provide a starting point. I'll definitely use it.

I am actually surprised there are no anti-trust kind of law that are kicking in. I guess this is just a case no one thought that would be an issue at some point (or is it really?).

Even in countries with labor laws, people usually have a 3 to 6 months trial periods where they can be fired at will. I think the true deterrent is not the law, but that it is rather expensive to train someone for 2 months then have to fire

I believe people in the US are more mobile, so you can end up living in area where you are 1000 kilometers away from your children or family. In Europe, people are generally less mobile (geographically) and countries are smaller, so you can

Maybe if you are blind, this could be helpful to not get lost and get a sense of the direction you are facing. But I guess there are already less invasive solutions (and other sensory inputs like the sun on your skin).

I agree that "it works" is an overstatement. It is more akin to if it compiles it won't segfault. (Arguably this is not unique to Rust, but there is no overhead in runtime to achieve that).

I believe this is one of the main promise of Rust, even if it is not stated like that, if it compiles it works and it is safe. But obviously for any other language (C,Go,etc) you can use a compiler + static analysis + dynamic analysis to ha

I don't think that Go can detect race condition errors at compile time. So it could compile and sometimes fails mysteriously. In Rust, as long as you don't use unsafe block, the compiler should detect it. This is not really a Go i

Regarding openstreetmap, it might be a good idea in general but I suspect that OpenStreetmap details would be really poor in Cuba because of the lack of contributors. So I am not sure it would be that useful to Cubans (who still have restri
