> This is more of a missing feature, but type inference is a huge part of Rust, and it's often difficult to know what type the type inference engine has chosen for parts of your code. There's no way to find out using RLS in VSCode that I've seen, or go to the definition of inferred types, etc.

VS Code has a 'code lens' feature that allows extensions to display annotations above each lines of code - you can see it in action if you install e.g. the Git Blame extension.

Some language plugins use that feature to display inferred types; the Rust plugin could do the same.

Good for you, but, even if - if!- meditation would work for everyone,it's unrealistic to expect everyone to start meditating.

Exercise is good for virtually everyone, and that's common knowledge. Yet relatively few go through the trouble.
Make your life easier with Remember Reminder
Remember Reminder is an app that just does reminders. You simply open the app, add whatever you have to do, and the time and date, and then you’re done. The app organizes your reminders by date. You can also have them repeat hourly, daily, monthly, or even by the minute. Now there is no need to remember all those things that you have to do because Remember Reminder will do that for you.

Stay on track with school, work or personal deadlines by entering them into the Reminder app. Create reminders for when the homework or other school assignments are due. Set reminders for all your meetings each week and sit back and let Reminder notify you when you need to attend. All those daily tasks can stack up. Assign a date and time to all your tasks and be on your way to organizing your life! Set alarms for each birthday so you never forget to say happy birthday. Add notes to your reminder like names, phone numbers, etc. so you can remember that about what this reminder is.
Are there plans to support exclusive backups / older PG versions ?
That was my initial reaction too, but I think it makes sense.

Everyone has use for both full-featured browsing where you can stay logged in to frequent sites, retain history/bookmarks and such, as well as private browsing where you don't want any history kept. On the desktop the way the UI is currently setup, full-featured is the default and private is an extra step you have to take, and as such private is typically only used for special occasions.

Focus reverses this dynamic by making private browsing easier, faster, and more streamlined than full-featured browsing, so people will start making private browser the default for most quick web tasks, and just go to the slower the full-featured browser when they need it.

Having two different launcher icons for these two modes is more convenient for the user, and AFAIK it isn't possible for a single app to install multiple icons in iOS[1]. Besides, not everyone wants to use Firefox as their main mobile browser. So a separate app makes sense.

I agree with you, here are some numbers to back up Denver is great COL vs salary wise. I work remotely as a mid-level DevOps guy for about $115k and no equity. I bought a 3 br house with a yard next to a light rail station 10 min drive 20 min train ride to downtown. I bought during the recession for ~220k ($350k ish now) but rent in our neighborhood for a similar house would be $1800 total. If I were moving here today and renting, we'd rent a 1 br apartment nearby for about $1100.

No, it's rewarding to work in parallel with a narrativized and sanitized version of history, one which strips out all of the dead-ends by working backwards from where we are now.

I do remote work. Because of my genetic disorder, I have arranged my life to be able to avoid exposure to infection.

The need for herd immunity is posited on the premise that people have no choice but to be crammed together with large groups of unrelated people at school, work, etc. This is a) a very modern idea that did not exist all that long ago and b) not actually a given.

I have no idea if the parent is correct or what, but just for the sake of argument I can see one issue here.

Docker Hub is a massive centralized store of software. If Docker becomes The Way to deploy infrastructure and services, Docker Hub could theoretically trojanize the world.

It would be a way of getting the kind of leverage over the Linux world that MS and Apple offer for their respective ecosystems.
I'm no lawyer, but from similar situations I'd imagine that they would need to make a reasonable effort to block EU users from using the product to get away with that. Eg. forcing users to use a VPN by hiding the download button for EU IPs.
I can't speak for other companies but we make salary offers based on the candidate's experience and role, not their location.

However, the job security is an interesting point. I suspect that Zapier gains huge leverage over it's relocated employees because they're now dependent on their Zapier job, another hard-to-find remote gig elsewhere, or funding their own move back to a tech hub. I don't know what Zapier's pay bands are like but I'll bet their employee churn is lower than industry average.
>I sleep in a tent in the wilderness and I have minimal contact with people. I am not harming anyone and no one is catching my germs. (I also have not had the flu in many years.)

You're an outlier. You, in your tent out in the woods are not the problem. Thousands or tens of thousands of people sending their non-vaccinated children to schools and living in the same cities as everyone else weakening herd immunity is the problem.

It's not an issue of bodily autonomy versus freedom, it's an issue of bodily autonomy versus the likelihood of mass death.

“We’re rewiring the Internet for freedom.”
Until this month, when I saw this I would have first thought of China and Russia and those others. But now I'm starting to think about North America.

(The article begins) For the last two years, a team of engineers and researchers has quietly been working to develop new technology for Internet freedom.

Today, we are pleased to share results from the first large-scale field trial of refraction networking, a fundamentally new way to help people around the world learn and communicate online in the face of censorship. We served more than 50,000 users, for more than a week, by deploying refraction networking at partner ISPs.
I'm not sure I understand. You can't compare points/time between stories for many reasons—some of them relevant to the story (like flags, penalties) and some of them not (not all votes are counted).

I'm not sure from your comment whether you're just being pedantic in pointing out that while regrettable this isn't surprising (in which case your comment is not very constructive), or whether you actually think it's OK for Firefox to do this.

Since you've used the term "anonymised" quite pointedly, I'm guessing the latter. I do find it surprising that anyone would assume data Google is collecting on your usage is somehow anonymous.
No idea. I’ll file an issue and look into it.
Sorry, but no. CS is uber conservative, but not remotely libertarian. They're fine with using the government to enforce morality, the antithesis of libertarian ideals. And the weed was definitely NOT driven by CS. The conservatives there think it's ruining their state.
Seems like a lot of news stories already cite fb or Twitter posts anyway, so it's a natural progression.
Also, consider that doctors must re-subscribe them every month or so. I think federal law requires the patients to have an office visit every 3 months. It's probably shorter now.

I dare say if someone went to the doctor's office and said they were hooked on pain killers and would like to be subscribed a step down prescription, they would be denied and told to tough it out, out of fear of DEA retribution. That's one of the problems with government in healthcare.

GoDaddy and CloudFlare are not government. The Indian Government is. That's a large difference.

And I still don't believe what they did was censorship. That was them exercising their right to free speech. I do not believe that it is possible for an expression of free speech to be censorship.
As far as the danger of mixing e-bikes and regular automotive traffic, I think a similar experiment has already been done.. Any one remember mopeds? The top speed was about 35mph, if I remember correctly, which made them more-or-less the gas-powered equivalent of e-bikes.

We have a lot of mystery diseases currently that are occurring in large numbers. Autism is just one widespread issue of the modern world. Anti vaxxers believe at least some of these problems are being caused by the widespread use of vaccines.

Given that we don't really know what is causing them, pro vaxxers are not really in a position to argue that vaccines are not part of the problem. But, they do it anyway and are at least as closed minded as they accuse anti vaxxers of being.
Yeah, but that doesn't hurt the people trying to spy on us.
Exactly! You can't compete when the features that you think make you stand out the most are also available in free, default and widely-used apps.

This passage (from another one of the articles on top of HN right now (https://www.wired.com/2015/11/null#tpw)) generates an error when trying to use the Sapien demo: "As a technology journalist, being a Null has served me rather well. (John Dvorak, you know what I’m talking about!) The geek connotations provide a bit of instant nerd cred—to the point where more than one person has accused me of using a nom de plume to make me seem like a bigger nerd than I am.

But there’s a dark side to being a Null, and you coders out there are way ahead of me on this. For those of you unwise in the ways of programming, the problem is that “null” is one of those famously “reserved” text strings in many programming languages. Making matters worse is that software programs frequently use “null” specifically to ensure that a data field is not empty, so it’s often rejected as input in a web form."

Maybe it's the use of the word `Null`? Not sure, but love what you're doing and thought I'd let you know about this.
I don't think statistical rethinking is a good book for general statistic at all.

It's more a good book for introduction bayesian statistic. And it's super math/stat lite.

If you really want to stick with Bayesian Statistic and need a comprehendsive stat for a foundation a better book would be: Doing Bayesian Data Analysis by John K. Kruschke.
I consider email a bit of a dead tech.

Outside the workplace, it's rarely used for personal messages anymore. It's limited to confirmation messages, promotional mailings, forgot password links and that's about it.

The days of email are over. Everything moved into silos like WhatsApp because they offer instant responses email could never offer and a nicer UI.
I use anki, a Spaced Repetition flashcard app. When learning a new tool/framework/etc, I make flashcards asking why it does things a certain way. This helps me learn the mental model of the tool more quickly.

I also make a flashcard if I spend a long time debugging something so that I make sure to keep the knowledge that I gained from the bug hunt.

"undo send"?
1. I think you may not realize what state of the art tracing GCs can accomplish. IBM's Metronome has pause times down to hundreds of microseconds.

2. It only takes freeing a tree with a few thousand nodes for it to become an issue. It happens in C++, too (heck, there've been cases where chained destructor calls overflowed the stack [1]). The reason why you don't hear more about it is because pause times just aren't that big a deal for most applications. In forum debates, people always discuss triple A video games and OS kernels and such, but in practice, only a minority of programmers actually have to deal with something even approaching hard real time requirements. Generally, most applications optimize more for throughput rather than pause times.

3. Yes, and it can be a problem for C/C++, too. It's rare, but not non-existent. Note that pools can actually make fragmentation worse for long-running processes.

4. Weak references work if you get them right. But for long-running processes, even a single error can accumulate over time.

> On the GC side, it seems like you typically get bursty, unpredictable performance, in both time and memory. Modern GCs work very hard to keep collection pauses as short as possible, but almost inevitably that means keeping garbage around for longer, which means using a lot of memory.

This ... is not at all how garbage collectors work, especially where real time is concerned. Not even remotely. I recommend "The Garbage Collection Handbook" (the 2011 edition) for a better overview. And ultra-low pause times are generally more of an opt-in feature, because they're rarely needed.

They can hate. It's called freedom. As long as they don't act on it and commit a crime, they are allowed to hate as much as they want.

> Ask that of the Germans who were alive in 1920 if they could foresee 1941..

Too bad germany had censorship.

Atheists hate on christians. Christians hate on atheists. Democrats hate on trump and republicans and vice versa. There are blacks who hate on whites. Whites who hate on asians. Asians who hate on whomever they hate.

Being able to hate and love is an essential part of being a free human being.

> but but it can't happen in America right?

Dozens of native tribes were wiped out worse than jews in ww2. Many native peoples were completely wipe out.

It's not about what can or can't happen in america. It's about freedom and individual rights.

> Ask that of the Germans who were alive in 1920 if they could foresee 1941..

Yeah... A significant portion of germans were attacked/marginalized/silenced. Millions of germans became disillusioned. That's how you get Nazi Germany.

Silencing and marginalizing americans and taking away our freedoms is a recipe for disaster.

Not only is that going to make these people more extreme and more angry, it's going to attract millions of moderate americans who don't want nothing to do with extremism.
Or, sometimes, they're not. My wife gets bad migraines. For the most part, nothing works.

Is that a recent law? I have a few friends, one of who used to work for an electric bike manufacturer, and they can get up to 35mph on their electric bikes. But that was from a few years ago.
I feel like this is one of those valuations which makes sense contextually, but not based on any sort of business reality.

Docker reminds me a lot of the PKZIP utilities. For those who don't remember, back in the late 80s the PKZIP utilities became a kind of defacto standard on non Unixes for file compression and decompression. The creator of the utilities was a guy named Phil Katz who meant to make money off of the tools, but as was the fashion at the time released them as basically feature complete shareware.

Some people did register, and quite a few companies registered to maintain compliance so PKWare (the company) did make a bit of money, but most people didn't bother. Eventually the core functionality was simply built into modern Operating Systems and various compatible clones were released for everything under the sun.

Amazingly the company is still around (and even selling PKZIP!) https://www.pkware.com/pkzip

Katz turned out to be a tragic figure http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/library/CONTROVERSY/LAWSUITS/S...

But my point is, I know of many many (MANY) people using Docker in development and deployment and I know of nobody at all who's paying them money. I'm sure they exist, the make revenue from somewhere presumably, but they're basically just critical infrastructure at this point and just becoming an expected part of the OS, not a company.

Most news is garbage anyway. Designed to make you anxious so you'll buy more stuff. At least HackerNews doesn't have that motive so it's more interesting on average.

My compatriot, I'm gonna be hoenst and say I have only a modicum of a clue what you've been trying to convey in this thread chain, and I've only been replying on what I've assumed you're trying to get across. No disrespect, I just think there's a language barrier going on here.

>I explained why I made the distinction. You should probably learn to read a more carefully before making statements about all knowing this & that. Or fine lines.

This is true. I have a habit of skimming and assuming if something's unclear.

>What do you think the point of crypto is? Make me look silly, bro.

Damn. If I came off as combative, wasn't my intention. Crypto's got a lot of uses. Fighting censorship through decentralization is one of its most notable features. Speculation and decentralized asset manipulator is another.

>You see the information I've talked about? I created that. So if you've got more, I'd be impressed.

I don't understand.

>If you've got any thoughts on the blockchain as a data-commons for AI, I'm all ears.

I don't understand.

>Any thoughts on the future of the decentralised web? Tangles for the IoT? How evolution relates to hard forks? Anything like that? Or just some dictionary definitions?

Exploitation of networks will be easier to carryout and forensics will be easier to fudge on a decentralized network. Having everyone run through the same nodes and the ability to mask my traffic as a benign pass-thru will greatly enable cyber-crime, even more-so than our current clearnet. Censorship will lose its foothold on oppressing, but it will now enable the other type of independent criminal.

On tangles: I think, if I'm correct in assuming how directed acryllic graphs operate, this will be a boon for anti-censorship, but its still has the same pitfalls. I can catch a ride and spoof myself as a benign fellow network user. I don't know much about this, but I've put one of the whitepapers on my to-do list.
