Apparently its well marketed (Russel is good at that), because it's one of the only math related books HN knows.

It would be a mistake to conclude this means the software doesn’t work well.

Being culled occurs when you are not in the workforce. It’s not the same issue as a guarantee to your current employer.

Either way these are just wishful normative statements. The business reality is that they will not guarantee you a job.

You can talk to a person and try to develop an understanding. You can’t fix a broken computer you don’t own.

What’s with the sense of entitlement towards jobs in HN?

Businesses will continue to employee you as long as they think it’s a net benefit to them. Their outlook can change at anytime and for nonsensical reasons.

I would suggest accepting this state of affairs. That might mean making sure you have savings, or up to date job skills. Refusing to believe this can happen to you because you have worked so hard or been so loyal will only lead to heartache.

Now read the next verse.

> examples

Linux, Maya, Photoshop, Chrome

> OpenSSL

When C programmers do crypto they also use OpenSSL, but more for security than performance. Do you have an example of a rust library which is a better substitute for commonly hand written C?

> fearless concurrency

Not related to the topic of discussion about performance gains of using libraries.

Since most industrial software is in C and C++ an example would be more convincing.

> doing anything the compiler can’t trivially optimize

What does compiler optimization have to do with libraries?

> single threaded

Plenty of C and C++ programs are multi threading using a system api like pthreads.

C programs without libraries tend to be really fast for the opposite reason. So this isn’t persuasive even though it seems like it should be true

Mac is a system of tightly integrated processes, so emulation requires the whole OS.

Windows games tend to be isolated all in one executables.

American puritans are not the only group with a sensitivity toward nudity (and it’s rather small), it’s just the only one allowed to be a punching bag on Reddit.

Indeed, although some of the same groups still feel supported but just not for the same reasons as before.

The parties have realigned around populism.

People without kids have that problem. This poster is talking about having children causing an evil change in personal character.

This is a very strange comment. Yes people often get territorial about their kids. This is long shot to evil, corruption, or not looking each other in the eye.

Please respond to a particular point in my comment.

That's not what I said.

It sounds like you were just using your pair to type for you.

That's certainly an argument but it's just one bullet point in a supportive 5 paragraph essay. How many employees actually have better equipment and spaces at home? Is your espresso machine improving your productivity, or is it a hobby to fiddle with throughout the day? What other distractions are at home that aren't at the office?

You need analysis to make sense of infinite series, indefinite integrals, exponential functions, etc.

> people continue to find new and better ways to explain and illustrate concepts

I strongly disagree. All the best math and CS books I have are old.

New books about old topics tend to be less informed about the context and core ideas that led to their development.

Math illiteracy is high in this thread.

Brand.

It's not "fine" but it's extremely hard to get them to do things they are disincentivized to do. And most government attempts do not result in the desired behavior.

Aren’t left leaning people all about “ethical porn” and power dynamics now?

Almost certainly you have not. 40 hour weeks a year is ~2000 hours.

This is ridiculously not practical. For lisp programmers making dsls is just how you write programs and you don’t need a parser.

Lots of studios do. Turning internal software into a product for others is a different thing.

> C#/JavaScript

I am familiar with how these are implemented. My opinion is the same. Yes you can implement slightly lighter weight threads in a language itself.

> It doesn't matter what OS you're on, each thread needs its own allocated stack space and has the overhead of context switching

This is a quantitative question. I know what it does, the question is how much slower it is than whatever async construct you want to use.

It does read like middle school writing.
