warning for folks looking at the webassembly/javascript roles: I talked with a recruiter about these last month but the job description is really poorly written. It reads like a toolchain/platform role but the recruiters are focus

I live on a street in New York that's pretty popular with filming. I generally try to be respectful of their work, but I work from home and sometimes I need to go get a coffee. I'll usually ask if when I come back in 5 minutes or

Official governance vs the effective governance is the real crux of this issue. Immediately starting from the lead developers separated by companies already puts a deep corporate interest spin on the project. Choosing to do a lot of the ini

The governance of the project is not immediately clear to me, and I have to assume that the Google team is working in good faith. That team cares a lot about C++ and its future. They are obviously aware of this stigma. I also think that Goo

It's not immediately obvious from this page and GitHub org, but this is a Google led project. It's led by Chandler and the c++ toolchain team. I have no idea of it's endgoals or how open to non-Google ideas it will be.

This frequently isn't true, although I'll admit it's industry dependent. This is the rhetoric used to depress the wages. Sure, they have extra costs but when you do the math, frequently the wages are still just a drop in the

Pay better. It's totally possible that you are paying appropriately, but I've been disappointed with my most recent job search and am likely winding up doing backend work again simply because those roles pay almost double.

But they aren't. I just did an apartment search after living in Manhattan for years and 5k was the number my partner and I wanted to be under. It was basically impossible and I'm now leaving my neighborhood.

Oh, strong agreement. I was addressing the comment since it seemed framed independent from the stay-at-home context

Why would you assume the ideal environment for learning social skills is in a school with children interacting primarily with other poorly developed children? Life experience and growth shouldn't be confined to a standard classroom.

As someone who was both home-schooled and went to public school, you are buying into the mythos around school too much. I had my own experiences when I was homeschooled that were far better than "enduring the horrors of PE".

This comment really misses the point of the post and kinda just feels like you have an ax to grind about sorting. This feels like when people say "don't worry about memory safety, just don't write bad code". "don&#x

This person isn't wrong. A lot of serious Rust users don't agree with what the GP is suggesting. `unsafe` has an explicit meaning: the user must uphold some invariant or check something about the environment, otherwise it is memor

The process of evolution doesn't care much about survival of the parent if they aren't passing down genes.

unique_ptr counts as a affine type, the linearity is enforced at compile time. (even if access safety is not)

I was in the space around Rust in the early days: ~10 years ago. It was 100% research based. Everyone working on the language was familiar with this literature and many of the early contributors were PL Phd people.

This is at least common in US libraries. The San Francisco public library as well as the library system where I grew up both do not keep library records after you have returned the item. I know there is a lot of contention about their priva

by vitno 5y ago
Actually, libraries intentionally do not keep records of what books you've checked out for patron privacy reasons. It can be annoying, but it's a the right thing to do.

Sure, but also many of the agricultural ingredients in the "fake meat" are subsidized too. Perhaps not to the same degree, I'm not sure, but worth pointing it out when claiming only one is a subsidized industry.

It's not every song, the model is built from a list of N (100k?) most popular songs. If you pick something a bit obscure it won't work. The model is updated on occasion and pushed in bulk to pixel devices.

That works somewhat similarly to the "Ok Google". Dedicated chip and super small on-device ML model. Nothing goes back to the cloud.

Its not so much that it needs to be made "illegal", The problem is that terms of service itself is a legally enforcable idea. Facebook is the one using legal frameworks to overstep into our life.
