Someone somewhere just told me that rust sucked .. because of its community. I don't think I talked to them so I wonder what happened
>They just don't see the threat as being that serious.

Which is fine, until it isn't. One problem with having survived a few hurricanes is that they aren't "that bad" until you hit one that was. I've seen bad enough that I'd never want to see a stronger one. Even without any additional risk, a week without power or fresh water in a hundred degrees isn't anyone idea of fun.

If the climate models are right on this, we're going to see increased frequency of exceptionally violent ones, and many more people are going to die "riding it out". I don't know if knowing that it really changes anything though. In a lot of these bigger metro areas, full evacuation isn't really practical either.
It's not like a notification or callback mechanism would make it any better though? It might even be worse since it wouldn't miss quick startups and shutdowns that polling could miss...
My comment was a joke, obviously. However, it's not that difficult to provide that kind of support and bugfixing. It's not like developing something new.
Interesting. Based on your response to the Gemstash licensing kerfuffle[0] a couple weeks ago I would have guessed you were still lawyering in some capacity for Google. Are you still involved in the opensource licensing policies at Google in a non-lawyering capacity?

> And that company that builds that iPhone of yours? Uses a LOT of very fleshy robots.

And Tesla, which just built a single factory designed to produce 500,000 vehicles a year with ONLY robots? People are watching. If this succeeds (and I suspect it will), there's going to be a LOT more attempts at such a thing.
> I don't think hiding the state of the render or the browser helps anyone not least developers who need the information about the state of their page.

I don't care about helping developers who want to hinder my usage of my browser on my hardware. It's my CPU they are executing on, and thus it should be I & I alone who determines what is executed.
> This suggests that it would help to have better getting-started guides for vim, and for using it with RLS in particular.

Not really. VSCode only one of few IDEs which have integrated debugger for Rust.
The forced restart experience indicates that windows is quite capable of killing any process it wants to. Otherwise you could just run an app to block that feature.

If you read Windows Internals you'll get some insight into how shutdown works. There are lots of things that want to do special work on shutdown, and windows gives them time. Consider, for example, if you have an unsaved document in word; windows won't shutdown until you save the document and close word or windows gets tired of waiting and prompts you to shut down anyway. This is configurable through the registry, btw.

I'd say the n times you hit 'postpone' count as windows giving you your fair warning.

I was going to comment on much the same thing; I had to adjust my monitor angle a few times to find a sweet spot where I could actually see what the guy was talking about. Also, a fixed font size in the age of responsive design is a huge no-no in accessibility; as well as, general UI/UX.

Show HN: Hyperapp – 1 KB JavaScript library for building front end apps
I have a PC that's nearly 5 years old, that wasn't top of the line (budget about £800 without screens) when I bought it and took me half a day to put together. It runs every game I've tried on it at least at medium and usually on high. I've spent zero time optimising it, not put a single h/w upgrade in and driver updates get run about every 6 months for a few minutes. PC gaming is way beyond "mostly just works" and has been for some time from my point of view.

At Microsoft's scale, probably not. Their inability to successfully pressure third-party software vendors to do the right thing is why they developed the shimming infrastructure in the first place.
> It is not portable yet? Who cares.

Investors should. Even though the first cell phones were from Motorola, Motorola ended up being pretty much irrelevant.

Regardless of what Magic Leap eventually releases, I'm excited to see what developers can do with AR (or MR). Somebody will eventually come up with a killer app, right?
With the telemetry though, it's hard to argue that isn't about putting users first when so much of the aggressive nature of it seems to be a desire to get as large of a sample size as possible to do the best they can attempt to do the most good for the most users at a time.

I think with recent updates Microsoft continues to listen to the privacy concerns and find a balance between large sample size and genuine privacy explanations and opt-out powers. The new privacy OBE ("out of the box experience") for Fall Creators Update from what I saw of it in Windows Insider build pushes looks like positive steps in that direction.

As for updates, that is a rock and a hard place. I've not had trouble scheduling updates to times that are convenient to me and this is also something I think each Windows 10 update has gotten better at, but I can appreciate how upsetting it can be for those that have had issues with Windows scheduling updates for inconvenient times.

> With some updates even changing system settings

Many of these seem to be accidents and that this is also something that Microsoft (from watching Insider builds) seems aware of and is working to get better at. Some of these accidental settings wipes it felt like you could tell were artifacts of the move to the new "agile" update infrastructure of Windows 10. (Increasingly more "roll up" updates are like what a Windows Upgrade used to be, creating a new registry and C:\Windows entirely, copying important bits from the old ones before replacing them, and it's easy to forget things to copy/patch from the old install, especially new settings. Some of those should have been caught by more Insiders at the time, because almost all Insider builds are installed that way, but the Insiders are a self-selected subset of Windows users that admittedly have their own biases.)

Interesting! Do you know some examples of places where clouds influence temperature a lot and where it doesn't? And what causes this?
What I personally did not like is: I'm very minimal vim user, I don't use plugins or plugin managers, I just setup some basic options like syntax highlighting and auto indentation. All I wanted from Rust plugin is to enable syntax highlighting and some reasonable indentation. But it turns out that I must install some kind of plugin manager just for rust plugin and I would receive lots of bells and whistles that I'm not interested, at least while I'm learning.

Actually I think it's the same problem with golang. Last time I used it, I had to browse VCS history of go project, they shipped vim plugin long time ago but then deleted it, I had to recover it from there and install it into ~/.vim/.
These types of issues/pulls are honestly intellectually demeaning. I know you're acting in good faith, but it really feels like MK-Ultra braindrain.

Imagine approaching Linus Torvalds at a conference and telling him that you think people who choose to disobey the documented code style (which I, and most others, do not necessarily use outside of Linux kernel code) are just using "non-standard code style".
If it's continually garbage collecting then surely it's not actually zero activity, no? JavaScript must be doing something.

Also, it certainly seems like Oracle Solaris 11.3 (released in fall 2015) will be the last publicly available version. Between-release updates (SRUs) have always been for paying customers only, but now it seems like there will never be another release.

X-Com shipped with a broken difficulty selector, so that all games were played on "Easy" regardless of your setting. The gameplay could be slow and ponderous at the best of times, and at the worst of times (chasing down the one last alien) could be quite maddeningly slow, literally at times 10-30 minutes of nothing. (Then the last alien gets the drop on you and your dude dies.) Some of the mechanics are pretty opaque in the era before "I'll just read a complete disassembly of the game engine on GameFAQs." Some of that is probably a part of the love for the game, but by most modern standards that's a flaw in a game. (Having to discover mechanics is not intrinsically a flaw, but making them somewhat undiscoverable kinda is.)

I'm not sure I'd defend the "deeply" part of "deeply flawed", because IMHO it still belongs in a different category than some of those other games; it came much closer to doing what it set out to do deliberately, it did not just accidentally back into being a good game despite itself. However, I will defend that X-Com was somewhat flawed. The very fact that they could ship the difficulty selector broken, because nobody noticed, because the difference was not big enough to be noticeable, is a pretty decently sized problem on its own; that affects everything from top to bottom right there.
They don't indeed. But then, human goals do not generally go after survival of humanity directly.

A decent enough AGI with access to resources would probably figure out it is costly to wage war.

Heck, an equal probability is that an AGI will follow a bounded version of zeroth law or even nonviolence.

That is assuming it does not place value on humans based on our history of research and development. I would expect any action more akin to forced upload or upgrade instead.
Anyway, at that point we might not resemble present day humans anymore.
I would actually claim that technologists are more important than historians but in general agree that economist does not understand what is going on.

You don't have to use a plugin manager, that's just how many people use plugins.

Furthermore, earlier in the year I upstreamed rust.vim https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/1356/ So if you're using a new enough vim, you shouldn't even need the plugin.
I must be missing something here. Unemployment rate right now is barely above 4% despite the significant push for automation in manufacturing, drastic downsizing in

I hear this all the time, and in its typical meaning I think it's terrible advice.

If you care about honesty, or self-respect, or your partner knowing you and how you think -- caving in to everything and avoiding conflict at all costs is the opposite of what you should do.

If you rephrase it as "Don't sweat the small stuff" or "Don't be petty and stubborn about things that don't matter," then it's perfectly reasonable.

He didn't say that Microsoft had never done anything evil, he said they hadn't done anything evil while he was at Microsoft. In fact, he said this:

This is evil. This is horrifying. This is the kind of stuff Microsoft did in the 90s that made everyone hate it so much they still have to fight against the repercussions of decisions made two decades ago because of the sheer amount of damage they did and lives they ruined.
> is it possible what you're saying reflects some sort of bias you have about the inherent value of people who are less _____ than you?

I'm puzzled by the question. Aren't we already seeing it? When it takes a 4-year degree to do an office clerk's job, doesn't this already indicate that people who can't get a degree are being phased out of the job market? If the employers with menial positions have enough selectivity in the job pool to weed out people without a degree -- for jobs that do NOT require them -- doesn't that, in itself, show that we're running out of jobs for people? I'm being simplistic for the sake of brevity, but it seems to me that there's a whole class of people (non-college-grads) that are being weeded out of the job market as we speak.

Agreeing on, let's say abortion or how to discipline children is not the same as an extrovert marrying an introvert. Some opposites can work together others (think religion) can not.
I think there's a real problem with bootstrapped (as compared to VC funded) business getting any coverage/press recognition and IndieHackers neatly fills that void.

I know a handful of people making $350k+ a year with a bootstrapped business (small SAAS, info products/courses, etc.) but even with that knowledge I'm consistently impressed with the different paths that the people interviewed on IndieHackers have taken.

I don't know you or your background, so there's a decent chance you're already one of these people. But, I do think there is value for many developers and technical people in seeing that you can do something reasonably sized on your own and make significantly more than you might at an office job.

I like "a man who loves his wife loves himself".

In other words, "you" becomes plural. One spouse isn't right unless both are. One spouse isn't happy unless both are.

To the extent that that's not happening, it's an urgency for each spouse to iterate, check in, and innovate until both are right and happy. Even if that's impossible (say, chronic illness) then at least it's a loving team fighting for things that are worth it.
And thank you for asking :). I had the same question and the answer is fantastic.

I really wish HN had some mechanism of extra upvotes, e.g. by being allowed to hand out one extra upvote per day or week, or by paying 5 cents (eur/usd) to buy an extra upvote (with a maximum of X per post or Y per day, or both, or whatever)... but alas.
OK, please explain to me why you think that's reasonable?
A layer with your pip requirements being added and then installed is the most expensive part of building a python container so if you change your requirements you invalidate the cache for that layer (and possibly the other layers above).
There are steps you can take to remedy this:

1. Get a written consent from your employee; and

2. Get a second pair of eyes to oversee you reading the said employee's email; and

3. Locate the communication that is needed, and leave others be.

I'm not kidding in the slightest. This may be more than people in the US are used to, but I absolutely do expect my employer to follow this or similar procedure if they are to read any of my private communication.

Too true. On the products side, my nexus 5x started bootlooping. When I called for support, what they told me over the phone versus what their page said didn't align at all. The lack of internal alignment is a key negative for bad customer service delivery. This is something other competitors (not all to be fair) like AWS nail really, REALLY well.
See my explanation above. I have learned the hard way to recognise that though there are obtuse and pigheaded people who will not listen to anything you say and are extremely difficult to deal with, don't for a minute ever treat them as an idiot.

I have dealt with various people over the years who are very intelligent and very expert in their fields of endeavour, yet will treat you as a idiot if you don't comport yourself with a total respect for their opinions and viewpoints. If you raise a question that they believe is irrelevant, their responses head rapidly south to treating you as an idiot.

I have been through 5 hurricanes in south florida, and always stayed put. Wilma was a strong 2/weak 3, and it was no joke. Afterwards there were trees uprooted everywhere, concrete power poles snapped like toothpicks. This storm's winds have 2.5x the energy of Wilma's currently.

I would GTFO for this one, it looks really bad.
I don't think either camp is wrong, just different ways to tell a story. I really favor the later, and I really hate when my agency is abridged as a player because some writer wants to tell a story I don't care about. At the same time, I'm sure plenty of folks have the opposite viewpoint.

This is a false dichotomy.

Skyrim, for example, is absolutely both of these things, offering a strongly directed central narrative and lots of open world exploration opportunities.
I have been through a category 3 hurricane(Ivan) in the Caribbean and it devastated the island, cost us over a billion in damages and took about 10 years to recover. Its not something I want to go through again.
A category 5 at those wind speeds, even block structures with hip and gable roofing and short eaves can be torn off and have walls fall.
I hope you and everyone in this hurricane's path safety.
Simple, it means that if the browser would decide to force YouTube into allowing PIP, that would be the browsers legal (and moral right).

Additionally, there’s a precedent that users want to be able to control what a site does, and are willing to take extra steps to achieve this, so a browser should implement such functionality ideally in the first place.
