"I think a big problem with metadata-aware “file systems” is that the metadata is lost once the file is exported out of the system."

This is my thought as well. I used to run BeOS as my main OS, and when I finally had to move away from it, all the BeFS metadata was left behind as well.

Same question came up on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/8am0si/e...

> Linguist here! In those ancient languages, there was no standard writing direction or standardized spelling conventions. In fact the Greeks often wrote in either direction alternating in a method called "boustrophedon" which means "ox-turning." You get to the end of the line and then write backwards to the other side of the page; it's actually much better for reading.

>The point is that code NOT bearing the tag is guaranteed to be memory safe and free of race conditions.

No, it isn't, because it may call code that uses unsafe constructs. (That's why you don't have to put an unsafe block around your code every time you push a value into a vector.)

>C++ cannot do this at present because all code must by definition be treated as untrusted/unsafe.

No, only the code that uses unsafe constructs needs to be treated as unsafe. You could easily make a tool that automatically inserted 'unsafe' tags around C++ code that used unsafe constructs such as pointer arithmetic. The fact that this tool is built into the Rust compiler is just a convenience.

I am usually not a fan of puns, but skyknit is gold
Couldn't find any information on this. The historical answer may be something simple and silly, but I'd like to think it's to do with the fact that our brain is not initially wired to distinguish straight images from mirrored ones. We acquire this ability at some stage as we learn to write (children may at some point confuse the letters and draw them mirrored).

So maybe back when literacy was so low and scripts were used only occasionally, to most literate people it didn't matter which way you drew each letter, until someone decided to canonicalize it. I suppose the choice was arbitrary.
I am guessing, but originally there wasn't a defined writing direction, ancient latin texts are left-to-right, right-to-left and boustrophoedic (continuous left-right-left line).

Possibly the letter direction followed the word direction, and when left-right was established so were letters?
>I don't know how big a deal the harness really is.

Given that your odds of survival are 0% if you are effectively chained to a sinking helicopter, and are at least greater than 0% if you are not, I'd say it's a big deal. Further, the articles I've read said that the helicopter was hovering over Central Park when the fuel was shutoff, and in fact the pilot considered landing there before deciding that there were too many people around. Had he known that his passengers had a 0% chance of escaping once he landed on water, I imagine he would have attempted to land in Central Park.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with C++'s absence of an 'unsafe' keyword, or the presence of one in Rust. It has to do with differences in the actual language semantics (and in the unsafe design of the STL and common C++ coding practices).
The "crime of the week" never really gets any better, and since it was an ABC drama it needed to hew pretty closely to that formula. From S02 onwards they start building a mythology about the machine and where it comes from etc, but since it's a 22-episode season it'a _really_ slow burn.

This may be a (passable) evolution of the Latin alphabet, but it is not the English evolution. Missing are runes, and the lost letters eth, thorn, and yogh, which were still in use alongside the Latin alphabet as late as the 16th century.

FWIW, in French the name of the letter "y" is "i grec", or "Greek i".
That's a twisting of terms, in the correct context, it's a temporary switch from a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie over the proletariat, to the opposite. The term dicatorship is only used because it retains the state, as it will not yet have withered away. Thus it does not meet the definition of communism.

But it is not the same as the common defition of a dicatorship, with oppression and selfish tyranny, which seems to be the association you want to make.

The naivety of these systems leads to output that we perceive as creative or playful. Personally, I've used simple Markov models to create texts or melodies that I then selectively recombine to write new music. The computer-created material is familiar but different enough from what I or a human might produce that it leads me to push my own creativity in new directions.
Every community college system will seek to make their credits as transferable as possible, it makes the schools vastly more attractive.

The 4 year places generally impose limits on how many credits they will recognize from a transfer, for the obvious reasons, they want their cut and they don't want to be a rubber stamp for some other program.

Just had a quick skim of the site and saw no screenshots just a load of marketese. Next I head to the HN comments: some preach FUD, others are stauch defenders.

In the Four Thirds, later Micro Four Thirds, world, Olympus and Panasonic played out some of the familiar tropes between these two corporations -- except they (Oly & Pana) had already agreed on the sensor size and lens mount electronics... so it was much less risky or painful to commit to one over the other.

In general terms, Panasonic had the better motion video features, Olympus had the better stills, but it was / is pretty fuzzy, and a closely matched feature set.

One of my top five favourite blog posts ever is an impassioned rant [1] about digital Full Frame sensors, originally published in 2008 before they became generally affordable (but while they were still very much a fantasy for many photographers who didn't really understand why they wanted one). Updated over the years, and still worth the read.

As someone entering the field without a large collection of (by contemporary standards) poorly designed, overweight, ill-suited lenses -- it was a less complex decision to identify the path that most closely resembled an open standard.

You're not going to just decentralize every job. Toilet washing doesn't sound glorious but janitorial and especially plumbing work comes with some significant skills you have to learn. And besides that, if you spent just 30 minutes for each 'side' job, you'd find everybody in that building working about 20 hours a day and not getting a lick of programming done. There's an enormous amount of work to maintain a 10 story facility, and the vast majority of it is like most work - not exactly pleasant.

Beyond this your argument that janitors have ideas/ambitions/etc again supports a capitalist system. There is nothing overtly stopping these people from trying to take their shot, difficult though it may be. Jack Ma is a good example there. He came from extremely humble beginnings and couldn't get a job even at KFC. He didn't ended up manually biking 'rich' tourists around to get by. In the process he ended up learning English and got exposed to some ideas and concepts that weren't so well known in China. A bit of luck, a lot of ambition, and some great ideas - and he's now one of the richest people in the world. He started his first business when he was already in his 30s, got his first computer when he was 33.

Really I think people are unrealistically critical. Today every child in developed nations has the internet and guaranteed access to basic education and effectively guaranteed access to advanced education. Einstein, for instance, was teaching himself calculus at age 12. That sort of extreme outlier in ability, and maybe even more importantly - ambition and motivation, is not something or somebody that's going to end up end up toiling fields in modern society. And the privileges we all have today are largely a product of the extremes of wealth that allow people to be educated for decades before having to return a single cent back to society.

>The same is not true of neither C nor assembly

I don't understand what this claim is supposed to mean, as there is no standard definition of what "Safe C" consists in. You can prove that some C programs meet some definitions of safety, and there are memory safe subsets of C. What exactly are you saying isn't possible?

The claim that this is fundamentally a kind of verification that you can't do for C or C++ isn't made in the paper. It's not clear to me exactly where this claim is coming from or what precisely it consists in.

> there are already soundness proofs of most unsafe components in the standard library available, which means that safe Rust + the standard library is sound

Only if 'most' means 'all'!
The paper itself notes that "...the problem cannot easily be contained by
blessing a fixed set of standard libraries as primitive and just verifying the soundness of those;
for although it is considered a badge of honor for Rust programmers to avoid the use of unsafe
code entirely, many nevertheless find it necessary to employ a sprinkling of unsafe code in their
developments."

Having a year (or more) of college credits upon high school graduation should be one of the education tracks available to every student.

It's a massive failure of imagination that this isn't already the case.
I was unable to "empathize" with people early in my career who were complaining about "crippling student loan debt" that were sitting right next to me, making the same amount I was when I went to an unknown state college and graduated with no debt.

It especially makes no sense to me for a resident of GA to ever go to a private college when you can get free tuition via the HOPE scholarship to go to well known public schools like GA Tech. If you get accepted to GA Tech, more than likely your grades and test scores were high enough to qualify for HOPE. If they weren't, you shouldn't be spending money going to an expensive private college anyway.
In my eyes, over the decades both companies kept leapfrogging over each other. With the T90, Canon probably made the most advanced non-AF SLR, only to abandon the FD-mount. This was a very costy change, which paid of later on, as it allowed Canon to start over without any legacy. Early on, Nikon had the lead in DSLRs, but Canon was the first with a 35mm DSLR. Nikon took a long time to go 35mm, but the D800 and D810 was a big step ahead with its 36mp sensor, only very recently Canon exceeded that with ther 50mp version of the 5D.

The next important step for both companies will be the transition to mirrorless technology. As µFT and the Sony A7/A9 are showing, mirrorless is the next step in camera technology. It will be interesting to watch how Canon and Nikon approach this transition. As both companies currently make their money with SLRs, it is a risky step, but an inevitable one. If one of them missteps in that transition, it means at least a big set back if not a complete loss of their role in the camera market.

Me and my whole family have gone to community college and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to save money and graduate with little or no debt.

The first two years at university are basically a rehash of stuff you probably should have already learned in high school IMHO (Calculus, English Composition, humanities electives) and junior colleges are a great way to take those courses at affordable costs.

One thing I would recommend - even over community college - is taking CLEP tests. I found out about them a little late but was still able to clep 2 years worth of spanish and french which meant I got credit for around 8 courses for a grand total of $160 bucks. I also clep'd most of my humanities electives like history and sociology. It requires some personal effort i.e. find a textbook at your local library and read and study it - but is definitely worth it from a time/costs perspective.

Anyways, I wanted to mention it because a lot of people don't know about CLEP tests and they saved me literally thousands of dollars (in junior college classes costs, probably 50k if you compared it to a top tier university).
It's not really misleading, the index never pretended to adjust your assets for the local cost of living.

Of course it is, because ummm you live somewhere. That should be obvious but perhaps it isn't. A person with skill X, a teacher say, can be in "the 1%" (global) in the UK quite easily, but the same person with the same skill doing the same work, would be worse off in another country, so what other than the local economy is the variable?

And someone in the global 1% in the UK is not especially wealthy because they need to spend it all straight away...
I went to community college for two years before transferring to University. Great experience. I felt the focus on teaching over research and the smaller class sizes helped me transition to University and better appreciate learning. And I saved a lot of money.

For me, it was a TRS-80 clone, a System-80, sold in Australia. I discovered assembly language and desperately wanted a C compiler. I bought the source code for an assembler from somebody, wrote an interpreter for the 8080 mnemonics using a Unisys 1100 mainframe and got the assembler running after bootstrapping it to recognise Z-80 mnemonics. Then I acquired the source code for the small-C compiler[0] and rewrote that in Pascal and modified to to produce Z-80 assembler mnemonics. Using the compiler and assembler I generated a hex file for the small-C compiler. I had access to another Unisys 1100 mainframe that had attached modems, so after writing a little bit of assembler that would read the single bit cassette port, and connecting a friend's modem to the cassette port, I was able to load the compiler hex file and save it as a System-80 executable. Then I rewrote the small-C library in Z-80 assembler and I had a running compiler, which I used to implement a fullscreen text editor.

I was incredibly productive on this small and limited machine, mainly, I think, because there were no graphics libraries, etc, in the way, and the programmer was limited only by their imagination.

I haven't felt the same rush until learning python 30 years later.

I'm asking because I've been working in a suit and tie for two years and have observed many advantages but am struggling to convince anyone of the benefits.

Would be most grateful for thoughts from all sides of the argument as I'm putting together a series of essays on the subject and it seems timely given recent events in the tech world such as our good friends at Facebook being groomed for their day of reckoning with congress and other newsworthy scandals in the tech industry related to data breeches and the like.

Any multimeter is much better than none when debugging. 95% of needs are covered with basic voltage,current,resistance/continouity. Go with something cheap. Make sure both amp meters are fused though, you will have it set to amps and measure a low-impedance source in parallel at some point.

Also, you are likely to want two multimeters at some point: Having one wired in somewhere and another for measuring around, or measuring current+voltage. So having a cheap one when starting and then a more expensive when needed is not a problem.
