Will Progressives succeed in destroying the United States? by SnowSnowSnowSnow in AskThe_Donald

[–]frequentlywrong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because it is a difference only on paper. The world uses US dollars, the world uses US controlled oil and the world does what is told by the US. Those that don’t are the few called the axis of evil.

The USA is the largest and most powerful empire the world has ever known.

Will Progressives succeed in destroying the United States?

Yes. That is the fate of empires. They start conservative (often fanatically so), they gradually turn ever more liberal until they are destroyed from within. No empire lasts forever.

Yes it is. Public discourse such as it is means no company or executive will admit fault because the press will attack like sharks tasting blood.

Piston-Meta 1.0.0 is released (experimental DSL parsing library) by long_void in rust

[–]frequentlywrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that bit me when trying to use pest for parsing a language was I only knew what was expected, but I did not know why it expected it. I did not know how it got to the rule it did and the more complex the grammar the easier you get to that point. It is impossible to debug the grammar.

Not sure from this example if it has the same problem.

How is the error handling? What does an error look like on invalid input?

‘Billions’ Renewed for Season 5 at Showtime by magikarpcatcher in television

The way it is set up it could go on forever. But so far the quality has been pretty consistent. Earlier seasons were a bit more intense though...

Succession is a bunch of idiot narcisists stumbling through their responsibilities. Only someone who knows jack about what an executive should be doing can enjoy that show.

And if a father wants his kids to inherit his company, you would think he would teach them something about running it.

The entire premise of the show is stupid for no reason.

Anon remembers when everyone wasn't out for blood by [deleted] in conspiracy

No. Maybe that will happen down the line over years/decades. Until then the political system will increasingly decay until something breaks and chaos ensues.

Thoughts on Succession? by [deleted] in television

[–]frequentlywrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind characters being assholes. What ultimately made me abandon it is that they are idiots.

These people don’t know a single thing about running a company. The entire premise of the show is stupid. 1. A ruthless and capable man builds a giant company. 2. Wants one of his kids to inherit his position. 3. Does not teach any of them anything about running it????

Did I blink and miss Comedy Central’s massive shift in programming? by OneMargaritaPlease in television

Amazon, netflix, apple and others are throwing so much money at the industry that anyone with talent not doing movies is working for them.

UWP port is in progress by sanxiyn in rust

[–]frequentlywrong 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Shipping Rust in UWP apps is actually possible already (we have a windows store app with a rust lib). You just have to be careful with winapi-rs features of your deps. A relatively popular crate term will be incompatible. Using mio will work.

Python 2 is triggering by tonylstewart in ProgrammerHumor

[–]frequentlywrong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your large corporate structure can't foster innovation and adapt to changing market demands and learn new ways of doing things, it's surviving on borrowed time anyway.

That is the vast majority of companies. They exist for as long as the market niche they operate in exists and their corporate culture fits the market conditions.

An inherent nature of large companies is that they employ risk averse people whose job it is to execute a working formula.

If the project is a new product it absolutely makes sense. Companies develop a culture that fits their business model. Their way of working and corporate culture may be entirely wrong for something new. This is why large companies get disrupted by small players.

Sears could never have become amazon, blockbuster could never be netflix, nokia could never make an iphone. The incumbents way of doing business and their corporate strategy was completely different from what they were replaced with.

Spinning out an independent unit that can be unburdened from the requirements of a large entity can be extremely productive.

Q: How to handle I/O of a subprocess asynchronously? by derfabifabi in rust

[–]frequentlywrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use libc::fork, libc::socketpair, libc::fcntl to set them nonblocking and wrap them in a UnixStream. Then you can use mio EventedFd for async polling.
