Similar story here. Been using Rust in production for only a couple of weeks for a financial analytics pipeline processing billions of events per day and TBs of data, but absolutely no issues so far. The predictable performance of Rust has been wonderful to observe, compared to GC'ed languages this iteration of the pipeline has replaced (JVM, Go). The type system makes otherwise daring refactorings a joy.

His example about resolved is once more missing the point of the issue. Its not about the protocols facing the rest of the world, its about the protocols between the systemd "parts". Those are willfully unstable, and thus makes its so you has to take systemd as a whole or not at all.
this fear drives you to save more. My parent's generation had large saving and near 0 debt(except house) because of the fear of loosing. As the society advances, like I believe in Scandinavian country, the risk of not being able to provide food, health, education to kids and family goes down. This alleviates the fear and allows people to take more risk and still a happier life.
From a UI perspective, how is this any better than just running your preferred OS and firing up a VM when you need to?
Er. The usual marriage age for a girl in premodern and early modern western European culture (and many other cultures worldwide) was "the onset of menses," or about 12 to 14 years old. ("Romeo and Juliet" takes place just before Juliet's 14th birthday.) Even in the modern era, the typical marriage age for women was 16 or 17 well into the 20th century in most of the western world.

The reference point of the 1950s to the present is an anomaly because it's weirdly old in western culture, not weirdly young.

other than being post-scarcity, I'd say recycling is literally almost this. it's not actually all that valuable as an activity and functions more as penance for the sin of consumerism.
Very exciting! For context, here's a nice long article (Aug 2016, 2 months before this arxiv paper came out) on the recent history of attempts to make it, with quotes from author of current paper and others in the field:

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/pressure-make-metallic-h...

> A few months later, Silvera’s group squeezed hydrogen hard enough to make it nearly opaque, though not reflective — not quite a metal. “We think we’re just below the pressure that you need to make metallic hydrogen,” Silvera says. His findings are consistent with Eremets’ new phase, but Silvera disputes Eremets’ speculations of metallicity. “Every time they see something change they call it metallic,” Silvera says. “But they don’t really have evidence of metallic hydrogen.”

> All this back and forth may seem chaotic, but it’s also a sign of a swiftly progressing field, the researchers say. “I think it’s very healthy competition,” Gregoryanz says. “When you realize that somebody is getting ahead of you, you work hard.”
I've used those washer/dryer combos. I don't know why they bothered, except for small loads the dryer was effectively useless.

It was faster to bag up the wet clothes and drive over to the laundromat. Gas fired dryer had a load done in 20 minutes.
That's good news. In any event, the spin cycle is fast enough (in the 1/2m•v^2 sense) that even before the recall, I wouldn't let my small kids in the same room with it. A repair still won't fix that precaution.
I would argue that feeling needed fulfills a deeper need. What people really want is a sense of connectedness, which could be to other people, or to the divine.

A connection with the divine is available to anyone, at any time. It is only because science has caused us to throw the spiritual baby out with the religious bathwater that we have lost our access.
It's the Ping of Death, obviously.
Top loaders are standard in Japan, where virtually no one uses a dryer. They strongly prefer to air dry here for a variety of reasons, not least of which is energy conservation.
That's akin to saying "you don't actually enjoy eating food, you're just hungry". Addiction and enjoyment are not mutually exclusive.
I'm not endorsing the following view of the world, but your comment reminds me of Ken Wilber's division of reality into four quadrants. It's a Cartesian product of individual vs collective times interior vs exterior.

What you are talking about as "people matters" sounds like "exterior collective": structural, social things, or "its" as Wilber refers to them.

I'm a bit worried that you might also be writing off most of the "interior collective" quadrant: the relational, cultural aspects of reality, the "we".

This is New Age fluff, but I guess we have to start somewhere. HN can be pretty hostile to humanities thinking sometimes, at least Wilber has no prerequisites.
With my car dealer, I maintain exactly zero factories. Zero physical factories. Zero factory workers.

Opposite feelings here. I like Elementary because it looks and feels polished and finished.

Technically it's degenerate matter since the atoms do not interact due to the pressure and other conditions, this happens because the electrons would have to follow the exclusion principle under those pressures/densities the electrons basically separate from the hydrogen proton as they cannot occupy the same space and the hydrogen becomes a degenerate matter; a sea of electrons flowing freely through a lattice of protons, because of this none of the "atoms" can combine into molecules, but they aren't technically atoms at that point either.

The problem with hydrogen as fuel storage (mainly for space travel) is the pressure, operating a fuel tank at 400 gPA or higher is going to be tricky, I've edited my previous post and added the bit about Hydrides which might actually considerably more viable for both terrestrial and space applications.

If we can actually make LiH6 alloys and can find an easy way to break them apart it can be a great fuel source, yes we might have to carry some "dead weight" but Li has an atomic number of 3 Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, considering that Hydrogen-Oxygen reaction is pretty much 1 to 1 (well "2") we have to carry considerably more Oxygen now than we would have to carry Lithium.
If a Hydrogen-Hydrogen reaction could be harvested as a propellant it would still be more effective than what we have even if we don't find any clever ways of catalyzing the lithium we already carry to push the reaction even further, we might be able to carry a smaller amount of oxygen also to catalyze the lithium tho I'm not sure if the energy from that reaction would be worth the added weight of the oxygen and the parts of the fuel and propulsion systems that would support it and the O-Li process.

P.S.

Metallic hydrogen is also of "interest" to those who still study cold fusion, even tho you can't call it cold fusion any more due to the stigma, at certain conditions there is a high likelihood of Inertial Confinement Fusion and Pycno Nuclear Fusion occurring, this often brought up as "superconductor fusion" simply because you can't call anything cold fusion and get it published.

That might also be a quite interesting fuel source, especially if you simply need to push it to a certain limit and once the fusion kicks in it would transition to other fusion stages.

And lastly this might be especially interesting if we can make Li-Deuterium alloys since D-Li fusion produces Helium 4 and over 20 MeV of energy :)

This (last) type of fusion is extremely interesting because not only it's highly energetic but it's aneutronic, which means that less than 1% of the energy is released via neutrons vs 80-90% in other forums of fusion, aneutronic fusion produces tons of energy an pretty much no ionizing radiation which means if you can make it work it would be in theory a safe enough battery to power a cellphone without frying your brain.

In my experience wealthy people != satisfied people.

Take heart! Plenty of marriages do endure. Community does exist. People can and do find joy and meaning in raising kids on paltry incomes. Friendship is possible!

Relationships can be more satisfying when you drop the expectation that your efforts will be reciprocated. Giving can be its own reward.
It's funny how the article mentions AWS lock-in but fails to recognize the infrastructure lock-in aspect of relying on a whole container/orchestration/virtualization stack that is so fragile that (according to the article) the only way to reasonably use it in production is to outsource its maintanenace.

Once you go down this path, it seems there is a very a limited number of providers capable of providing the infrastructure you require (at least compared to vps/dedicated/datacenter providers) and they can just keep pushing you into using more and more fragile infrastructure components that you would never want to maintain yourself.

Eventually, you may very well find yourself paying so much for all the hardware/virtualization/os/container/orchestration maintenance and resource overhead, with a number of backup instances of everything due to the unreliability of all these components, that you wish you could just go back to placing a few pieces of metal in a few datacenters and call it a day.
Do you mean "distros" though? I would agree with you about DEs, but I would concur with parent commenter on the "bang not whimper", and suggest that that bang be i3wm.
Mistakes You Need to Avoid When Buying Your First Home

Well, I'm assuming you're young and naive, so I will give you some slack. You will look back on the article you wrote in a couple of years and want it buried due to embarrassment (just thinking about it now is pretty cringe inducing for me as I'm typing this).

Mixing business with politics is a mistake and will severely limit your future chances at getting a serious investor. Not to mention your intolerant and abrasive attitude pushes most people away.

This may work in a forum like HN or Reddit where you can downvote someone and make them disappear. But in the actual world, you need to work together with people that you absolutely disagree with politically.

I think you are also mistaken about the power-dynamic. You need to give them a good reason to invest in your company and they really don't owe you any explanation...and accusing them of discrimination? It's the kind of libel that goes on every day on social media and is the essence of what's wrong with our society today.

> Nothing you said here is true, why are you saying this? Parties can, and regularly do, challenge voter roles, make them appear in person and prove their citizenship and identity[0]

No--that's proving residence. I said they can't require voters to prove their citizenship. [1]

I didn't say parties can't challenge voter rolls, either.

> If it makes you feel better, I don't believe that these Republicans are racist, I just think they implement racist laws because blacks largely vote democratic and they'd rather suppress them than actually do the hard work of outreach. But alas, it's largely useless to try and separate their intent from their actions - the end result is that they are seeking to disenfranchise voters based on their skin colors.

That may be true. I'm not a Republican, though, so it seems unfair to dismiss my arguments based on unrelated actions. Some of them probably are legitimately racist, but that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to verifiable potential for voter fraud.

I'll go as far as to say that some degree voter fraud is likely acceptable and expected in a system that strives to ensure nobody is hindered in their exercise of voting. Any inconvenience is going to turn people away and you can't possibly verify any more rigorously without adding inconvenience. The discussion is in where the line is.

The strikes tended to come after the looting and the collapse of the companies due to mismanagement.

The systemic reason for this was the high value of the pound though. This dose of Dutch disease was avoided in Germany that has managed to repress the value of its currency in a variety of different ways.
I am not stating I would avoid this technology, so asking me if I would avoid similar technology isn't logical. I would take no action to avoid technologies, but I would limit them if I felt they were harmful to my well being.

I do not visualize (Aphantasia), so I would be much more excited if I could both see what is going on here AND have a mind's eye, even if it were artificial.
It's less the total size of the data I'm worried about and more the concurrency. For example, say I had a process that retrieved 1000 tiny records (using index query) and ran some cpu-intensive calculation on them, and I wanted to run 1000 of those processes simultaneously to reduce into a final result. This would require tuning dynamo to thousands of concurrent reads (and maybe writes, depending on the process), then scaling it back down after the operation because it is very costly and priced by hour. This makes it complicated and expensive on dynamo.

It seems the only storage services compatible with variable unlimited bursts of concurrency are S3 and SimpleDB. S3 comes with many problems for handling structured data (no update of records only replace, locking, listing items is slow/costly, etc.). SimpleDB is no longer being iterated, is limited to 10gb per domain, and looks like it's being slowly phased out.

It seems like massively parallel lambdas depend on few fetches of large blobs of data - which is basically batch-processing EMR-style, or better suited to redshift. Not something that opens the door for novel use-cases.

I would have really liked for dynamodb to be more of a service than a vm. I wish its concurrency was unlimited and you paid for usage rather than time. Basically DynamoDB with SimpleDB pricing.
You didn't phrase it as a personal experience. You could have just said "not fun for me anymore". Instead, you implied the world has changed, when it could be just you.

There was a segment on NPR this morning where a woman who wrote "The History of White People" explained that white people are uncomfortable talking about race because it has never been a problem for them.

Her argument was that now that being white is a "bad" thing, white people want to ignore race.

It was very enlightening, but not for the reasons she intended.
> A little offended/saddened at your comment, actually. Tech ageism at its finest, I guess.

Think we may be a bit quick to jump on the parent commenter.

If an "adolescent" is someone still financially dependent on their parents, then I think most of us would agree there's something not quite right with that situation at 40-years old.

If it means being a responsible adult (a loaded phrase), but partaking in hobbies we enjoyed back in our teens, then who cares?
The OP should mention that this isn't the first time the creators have run a campaign. As a frequent reader of r/shittykickstarters, my initial reaction was "Someone ambituous wants someone else's money to produce something that sounds awesome but will probably fail in reality"...but these folks [0] have passed the main litmus test of actually delivering on their previous campaign [1], which means they're much less likely to fuck up like Coolest Cooler or the many other KS projects that amount to nothing, because they have supply-chain experience and realistic expectations.

restricting controls while typing is an arbitrary restriction considering they can communicate with audio asynchronously.

this brings up another interesting topic all together- which is how inefficient human language is at communicating complex ideas, quickly, with people you don't know.

that is- just like how AI has an obvious APM advantage, it also has an obvious communication advantage (raw serialization and deserialization. there is no room for ambiguity or misinterpretation).

basically, all information known by one agent will be known by all other agents in near-realtime. something humans can't do yet.
Pin files to geographic locations and share them through WebTorrent
Not a biggie, but thus the "doing it wrong" bit. Sure, everyone can like can what they like, but it's inaccurate to equate discernment with snobbery--except in snobs who, themselves, are doing it wrong. Cheers, as I grab a jug of Paisano to take to the patio while I grill burgers. The 2010 Silver Oak cab continues to collect dust and cat hair on the wine rack. Thus the downside of good wine: afraid to drink it.
I'm not sure blind tastings with relative newbies gives the best signal here. If you give someone cocktails for the first time they'll probably like screwdrivers the most; if you let kids choose between doritos and oysters they'll pick the doritos.

After having had a lot of moderately expensive wine over the past few years, I'm sometimes surprised when I go back to a $5 bottle that I like. Usually if I think about it harder, I find that I'm enjoying a combination of sweetness and oak that are pleasant, but not really that fun to dwell on. It's similar to that balance of salt, sugar, and fat that snack foods use to be broadly liked but not have much depth.

Not to say that such wines are bad, but I think you're missing the point to say that expensive wines are supposed to be appreciated by the masses.
Introducing FL: Shared Interests and Radical Front-End Design
Agreed. If the backchannel is news or surprising to you, you're probably just following and regurgitating someone else's propaganda.

Agreed with the OP: read original sources like Wikileaks.
One game experimented with smart enemy units that could sneak up on a player and attack them from behind, or outflank them. The players hated it and assumed the computer was cheating and just spawning enemies behind them.

The same is sort of true in RTS games. The new rerelease of age of empires 2 has vastly improved AI that was developed by modders. Lots of players thought it was just cheating.

But in general it has been very well received. I think players can get used to good AI. They've just been trained to expect stupid AI that cheats.

Another example is mechanical parts and linkages.
