And Elon Musk does Nazi salutes in-front of the nation and just goes back to being CEO of things.

It is not the defining feature but loss of the loop is one of the most obvious differences for people who look at a functional language Rust has immutability, pattern matching, etc, but it remains an imperative language with "some func

If it's functional (recursion vs imperative loops) most people/organizations will not use it. At this point that is just the reality.

Zohran's father is a famous post-colonial scholar. A college professor in my family has had him as part of curriculum for years.

What has been dis-proven?

That is a very good point. The big tech leaders have politically soiled the industry.

Hacker News is a little hard in these times. That it has kept politics unrelated to tech out is a great achievement, but as scientific method is being equated to flat-earth thinking by elected leaders talking about what's new in Rust s

That number includes chains. Those restaurants (McD's for example) get preferential treatment - they are on the front-page and they pay no or little commission. That would skew the average. And maximum probably does not include all the

I have seen Doordash statements where commission + fees added up to 60% of the price. I asked the person who mostly worked with restaurant owners why they do it. He said: 1. A lot of restaurants are passion businesses and they don't re

This is tangential, but I worked for a food delivery startup (a conscientious one) for a couple of years and food delivery is a terribly extractive business that kills restaurants. Either order from the restaurant directly or just go there

21st century, where a CEO of a major company doing Nazi salutes is not enough to fire him. How did we get here?

I'm relatively new to Python - how does one do concurrent IO without async/await? My main complaint, though, about Python async is - because it is opt-in I never know if I forgot a sync IO call somewhere that will block my worker.

Check out Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis, he really expands on the idea of web being mostly rent-seeking and not productive.

I mean in general these types of restrictive laws but non-disperagement specifically. I did hear about the non-compete.

There are certainly headwinds but it could be state laws too. If California passes something - that would be big. But in general culture heads in a certain direction and reactionaries are just a bump in the road or so I prefer to think.

Non-competes are being challenged and will be history soon and hopefully so will non-disperagement clauses. Those are just coercive anti-freedom practices.

It's just different, it is more about the product than the technology.

Not entirely a joke actually. For example, I have worked at a large corp where dependencies were high discouraged. For example lodash was not used in the codebase I was working on and if you really needed something from lodash you were enco

There have been a few attempts to start private L1, but based on what EY's Paul Brody says they fail due to the complexity of validator politics and inability to achieve a reasonable level of trustlessness. The more respectable public

I am not going to say that I have the data but from what I remember that was not identified as one of the causative concerns in the book. Subjectively I doubt that that is a systematic driver of income inequality. For example in 60s the tax

I have not read the whole of "Capital in 21st Century", just the opening chapter. But the picture the chapter painted was quiet grim - income inequality growing rapidly every year as "innovation" and jobs declined. In ot

I was not aware of that! Basically you can get sued if you are caught prioritizing employees or customers over shareholders?
