Neither I think Rust is fit for that purpose, any GC language is a better fit in terms of productivity, unless we are speaking about tiny IoT devices with a few KBs.

Also, it is not yet fit for writing GUI code. It is quite far from what is possible to achieve today in Qt/WPF/Cocoa/Android/... tooling and even the latest NLL improvements don't fix all issues regarding writing callbacks.

Kobo and Amazon don't contain *SD options but other e-readers do [1].

As insinuated, I find it is overrated. You can even run Calibre in Docker [2] to serve it over HTTP(S). And as you know, Kobo have a web browser. So you could put the books you're likely to read on your Kobo (8 GB is a lot) and serve the rest via that way. You could also serve the content over your phone via USB OTG.

If you're off the grid for a long time, I actually recommend something else instead: put your smartphone off, e-reader on, and keep a (at your option relatively, to <3 your battery) charged powerbank with you. Not necessarily for your smartphone, but for your e-reader!

Theoretically, you could do the same thing with EEG via source localization techniques[0] on the EM spectrum.

In my experience, barely any labs have the know how to implement them in a performative manor to pull something like this off whereas a lot of the fmri software is made from the manufacture (GE, Siemens, etc) that transforms the raw data into the voxels that were used in this setup.

millions of teenagers get part time jobs despite not needing it to live.

The corollary to "if X has what they need to live they won't work" is "the only reason X works is to not die".

While on a high level it can feel that way, especially at the lower rungs of society (where people get the worst kind of jobs). But ultimately humans have a lot of motivations for doing things.

Unfortunately many people cannot act on these motivations because they are too busy trying not to starve/get evicted/die from illness. A world where no one has to worry about these is something we could all work towards.
I tried exploring no_std Rust recently, and found it to be quite frustrating. After just using a Result type I was getting errors of things like `eh_unwind_resume` being undefined. Toggling LTO rectified my problems but didn't give me much confidence in reliably using no_std

You can't seriously tell iOS is not entirely closed just because they release source for two components under GPL. If they were able to stop using this GPL-ed close they certainly would.

Apple even stripped most of iOS related code for their MacOS open source drops. E.g they only recently started to release XNU source with code for iOS.

Well, "in hiding" doesn't mean that much, I think. She's originally from Kazakhstan or Russia and, thus, can't really be touched by US court rulings. She probably shouldn't visit the US or many other countries, but otherwise probably hasn't had to change her lifestyle that much.
The point isn’t that no one does it, its that its hard to do right.

...and that is flat out the case for c++, unequivocally.

In rust you’d expect it to be better, because of (reasons rust is good here, like safety, having a package manager and an ecosystem, etc etc), but practically, there are too many halfbaked solutions, too much ‘use nightly’ and few good stable proven solutions to look at.

Rust isn’t the right solution for every problem, but it should be a good solution for secure very high performance network services.

Its definitely a good goal for the year~

The CPU knows the type and size of everything. It also checks that at runtime. Every piece of data has type and size information (either implicit or explicit).

On a conventional CPU you can access memory of an array (usually CPUs don't even have an idea what an array is) without checking its bounds - unless the language implementation explicitly creates those bounds checks and provides the array size at runtime.

On a Symbolics Lisp Machine the array will be passed with type and size info and the CPU will check that when accessing the array.
"You need both."

Me, personally?

I do not use shared caches.

I do not use local or remote caches.

Wrote own nonrecursive (i.e. no RD bit ever set) stub resolver.

As such, I have no use for DNSCrypt.

I use trusted sources for lists of authoritative servers I need. I store IP addresses for those servers permanently and track changes in them, if any, over time.

I have little interest in what ICANN certifies as a "valid" or "invalid" name. DNSSEC therefore does not appeal to me.

IMO, better Web PKI could be focused on IP addresses and user-generated public keys (maybe combined with user-chosen "pet names"), something like SSH. Instead it appears to be solely focused on names issued by a third party and certificates based on those names, also issued by a third party.

Probably "You need both" was a figure of speech. If so, pay no mind.

"can you find that?"

> They rightly believe that if this person committed such an act in the past, they're more likely to do so in the future, as compared to someone with no such record.

The rightly in your comment irks me. Isn't it a self-fulfilling prophecy? One's potential criminal behavior tends to depend, at least partly, on environment, and socio-economic factors. It makes sense that anyone facing difficulties in finding jobs, for things they supposedly have paid for, are indeed more likely to recidivate. It's a vicious circle.

Define "we". World-wide, "we" are doing an absolutely amazing job of eliminating poverty.

https://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/World-...

https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty

Also, most industrialized economies don't really have absolute poverty: anyone who is poor has the right to social benefits to alleviate it, to provide the basics of food, clothing and housing (as well as other basics such as education).

So for example, in Germany, we talk about poverty being on the increase. But that is relative poverty, meaning a certain percentage of the average. So we can "increase" poverty by simply improving GDP w/o raising the bottom as much as the increase in GDP.
Beware that you can only have one EXIT handler. I've used this in the past figuring it's analogous to Go's `defer`, but unfortunately not.

e.g this script:

Will only call 'Handler 2' on exit.
No, it's an agreement between researchers and the publishers, and the researchers feel dependent on the publisher for their careers (publishing in "high impact" journals is good for it), so they often blindly accept whichever terms the publisher shoves down their throats.

I'm Irish. Was curious to see how it would interpret my accent.

41% US, 59% British -- did a few times an the ratios reversed.

Doing impressions of British or American people got me close to 100% of their respective values. I'd say there is some merit there alright.
If the downstream consequences of this:

> Teenagers are also having less sex, especially of the procreative kind. In 1991, 54% of American teenagers in grades nine to 12 (ages 14-18) reported that they were sexually experienced, and 19% claimed to have had sex with at least four partners. In 2015 those proportions were 41% and 12%. America’s teenage birth rate crashed by two-thirds during the same period.

Is this:

> As with alcohol, the abstention from sex seems to be carrying through into early adulthood. Jean Twenge, a psychologist at San Diego State University in California, has shown that the proportion of Americans aged 20-24 who report having no sexual partner since the age of 18 rose from 6.3% for the cohort born in the late 1960s to 15.2% for those born in the early 1990s. Japan is a more extreme case. In 2015, 47% of unmarried 20- to 24-year-old Japanese men said they had never had sex with a woman, up from 34% in 2002.

I'm not convinced that is a good thing.

You could surely say that the war with Japan didn't help.

Well-known events like the Potemkin mutiny may be dismissed as not impacting industrial output, but there was a large-scale general strike which actually lead to "1905 revolution" [0]. The loss to Japan was of course only a partial factor, with bigger contributor being the overall economic downturn of early 1900's.

There were some direct impacts from this revolution. There was large-scale unrest in Kingdom of Poland (the Russian-held part of partitioned Poland). Finland (then a Grand Duchy in the Russian empire) abolished Diet of Finland in favour of a new Parliament of Finland, with universal suffrage for both men and women. And in mainland Russia, the absolute monarchy was abolished in favour of a parliamentary monarchy.

However, this was too late for the Russian empire to recover.

Heh. Let's see what effects they have after 10-20 years.
> 500 million is the number of devices which potentially had access to an app store containing apps that had malware. It's not the number actually infected. I mean, come on.

From the article: "XcodeGhost potentially affects more than 500 million iOS users, primarily because messaging app WeChat is very popular in China and the Asia-Pacific region." After that article was published, Angry Birds 2 was also discovered to be infected.

Did you notice how I compared to Google and Amazon app stores? Those are the devices that HN readers would buy (those Chinese app store phones are not available for sale in the US), and they have vastly more users than the iTunes App Store yet in total infected devices can't come anywhere close to the toxic hellstew that is the App Store.

Many languages handle this internally; essentially all functional languages and all dynamically typed languages.
I think there's some merit to the statement nonetheless - e.g. Qt is native to C++ and its API designed around C++ language features and semantics in many ways. There has been success in writing bindings for languages that can emulate those semantics without too much pain (e.g. PyQt), but Rust is not one of them.

Inside the Rust community, there's been a lot of debate about what an idiomatic Rust API for a GUI toolkit would look like, particularly because the traditional tree-of-widget-objects design of C++ GUI toolkits appears a bit inconvenient to realize within Rust's stricter semantics.

IOW, "are we gui yet?" might depend on some sort of new written-in-Rust GUI toolkit to appear. There's 20 years of work by many hundreds of people in Qt, many of whom rallied not just around Qt specifically, but around projects using it. Getting that many people moving isn't easy. Alternatively, major progress has to be made on bindings and bridging to the semantics of other languages in Rust.

That said - of course C++ was around quite a while before being adopted by Qt.

It seems to me that any decentralized stablecoin would break the impossible trinity. [0]

Basically, since the interest rate is fixed (at 0 in this case, I believe), there's an incentive to sell DAI in favour of some higher-yielding currency, which creates a downward pressure on the price. So short of preventing DAI from being sold somehow, in order to maintain a peg, someone needs to pump money into DAI at a loss.

You can try to build a complicated system to hide all that, but it seems the goal of a stable peg is simply impossible. Even for nation states it is only possible in the case they have sufficient resources and the will to maintain a peg.
