That's only if you rewrite "from the design" in a fresh repo.

If, on the other hand, you rewrite the code line by line from C to Rust (which Rust is actually quite amenable to!), faithfully translating the semantics of the C code into the Rust code (and thereby having to use lots of unsafe{} blocks) then you can avoid most of the problems—what you'll end up with will essentially be the same as what a hypothetical C-to-Rust transpiler would output.

Importantly, you can also translate the test suite in this same way.

After that step is done, you can just refactor the resulting code, replacing unsafe{} blocks with Rust idioms, and then rerunning the tests (which you can leave un-idiomatized) as regression tests.

Hmm,I wonder ...

In UK I gather you're allowed anti-climb paint - which damages clothes - to prevent unauthorised access (trespass, say); but you're not allowed glass or spikes which damage people too. People usually signpost use of deterrents, I'm not sure that's a requirement, probably just part of the deterrent.

So there's certainly precedent for damaging others property to hinder "trespass".

You're generally allowed ultra-sonic devices like cat scarers that deter people's pets from gaining access to your property, and whose effects impinge across property boundaries.

So I reckon as long as you signpost "ultra-sonic deterrent" then the onus is on those who're infringing your privacy and peaceful enjoyment of your property to avoid any potential damage by avoiding your property.

Aside: Not sure how far the law has come but there are guidelines from CAA saying not within 50m of another person, not within 150m of built-up areas (eg https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201415/ldselect/ldeu...).

x220 user myself, great little machine. Hard to break. I upgraded the disk, 16 GB RAM and new battery. I once dissassembled it completely to replace the CPU thermal paste and was surprised by how easy it was. Now I'm confident that whatever breaks I'll just fix it.
This. Unless there's a competant project manager already in place and they are asking for a good technical lead to be put in place, it's highly likely a last ditch attempt to pull something magical off. If there's no PM then that's what the company needs, not a technical lead. As others have said, the teams under stress and the delivery date is coming up, so the only thing to really change is the scope and project tracking.
> That's an increase of 50%

... from an arbitrary starting point of 20. Why 20?

What I mean is, if you're 50, it's an increase of 200%, which you could say is even more remarkable except that it can't be as it's the same statistic?

>You're okay with a society where people die on the street because they didn't have enough wealth?

I didn't take a position on whether or not I'm okay with a society where people die in the street if they don't have enough wealth.

All I said was that people who can't afford to buy health insurance need charity, whether that charity is public or private. The market is not going to help them. Attempting to fit that round peg into a square hole is going to cause a lot of issues that are very obvious to predict, in addition to all of the issues that are less easy to predict.

>How much money you have isn't a determinant of the moral worth of your life

Neither is anything else. The 'moral worth of your life' is fundamentally an opinion, not a fact.

>So why do consider it as a relevant detail in the allocation of healthcare?

Because that's how we allocate most goods and services, and it does a fairly good job at it.

That's a pretty complicated question that comes down to an individual's own priorities and that individual's assessment of the potential effects of various alternative policies on the attainment of various goals.

Yes, the principle agent problem is truly the only problem that matters in US healthcare. Fix that and most of the rest of the system comes along with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if people are denied care and left to die due to exorbitant prices based on random, undoubtedly wrong algorithms. Here's where the cost of personal data really becomes huge, at in life or death. Insurers have played god like this since their inception and nothing is going stop them from making more money by shutting out anyone who is a threat to their bottom line. We've only had a law that prevents discrimination on pre-existing conditions for a few years. I'm sure the insurance companies will lobby hard to get rid of it so they can let the very sick suffer and die rather than be forced to pay for their healthcare. This is an end run to that goal in case lobbying to murder people legally fails.
I signed up for an account there months ago, got a message about it being in "closed beta" and have heard nothing since.
I'm of the belief that a world war today, which immediately launched all existing weapons to cause as much damage as possible, probably wouldn't wipe out the human race.

As soon as you launch that many weapons, and kill such a high percentage of people, you eliminate the possibility of manufacturing new weapons, so the war would be instantly over.

And I believe that despite others simulations to the contrary, there will be small groups of people who will stay underground for years, surviving on tinned etc. food. After 5-10 years, radiation levels will still very high, but most dust will have settled, and the skies clear enough to start to grow crops and rebuild.

Humans, as well as many other creatures, will become more radiation hardened over generations, and given the bountiful supplies of tech and resources left over from our civilization, will be able to quickly repopulate the world.
I think what you'll find as you get further in your career is that sales-orientated individuals (revenue sales or investment-as-sales) tend to over-represent their capabilities to the people they are selling to.

The 360 hack I’m familiar with was just a reflash of the DVD drive firmware to always return data to the console as if the disk were legitimate.

This became a cat and mouse game between hackers and MSFT as MSFT started measuring things like latency and expected angles between blocks of data on the physical media to tease out whether the reported legit disk was actually legit or an imperfect copy.

I remember a few ban waves where people using modified consoles had their Xbox Live accounts shut down, then I stopped following it after that.
I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere but I would also start by getting a handle on all the outstanding tasks:

If there are tickets, read and understand all the tickets, organize them in a way you can manage day-to-day.

If you're working off some other spec, start breaking it up into individual tasks that can be managed on a spreadsheet or in a ticketing system.

If you're working off general guidelines without documentation (and you can't run!), start by writing out all the tasks that need to be accomplished to finish the project. Even if they are brief.

Now take the list of tasks and organize them into 2 "types"

Stories: Tasks that deliver value to the end user

Tasks: Tasks that are required or nice to have to enable 1 (Tasks or Chores)

Now prioritize those into different buckets

1. MVP: if we don't ship this, the project will fail

2. Nice to Have: Someone _really_ wants this but it's not MVP

3. Phase 2

The more scope you can put into bucket 3 the more likely you'll be able to deliver _a_ working, functional project on time. You will get more credit for delivering something _good_ than failing to deliver the perfect project.

Your team will also thank you for taking significant stress off their plate and for making them a success.

No, I'm not. I'm not talking about implied volatility. I'm talking about the way in which the stock price significantly changes in anticipation of the earnings announcement. Volatility is a formal variable for derivatives, but that doesn't mean equities (and the broader market) do not also experience volatility.

I learned React before I learned Vue. After I wrote an application in React, I decided to try Vue for the next one. It was like a breath of fresh air. The templating language is more intuitive to me and the lack of boilerplate makes it great for the small projects I've used it for.

To each their own. But there is nothing I miss about React after switching to Vue.
It sounds like this isn't just some arbitrary decision, but Windows actually requires S3 to be removed in order to use the new suspend mode. From the thread: "When ACPI table was changed to support S3, Windows Modern Standby doesn't work. Modern Standby and Suspend/Resume functions are working exclusively."
I'd also add that the need for localized personal computing services goes down as network bandwidth increases, if there's anything that people really need quantum computers for, it's not unreasonable to suggest that they will be handled on the backend with aggregated results sent to clients as is the case for most computation today.

This is true of DotA and LoL, but not really Starcraft. Starcraft is fairly easy to pick up and almost all the relevant information to understand who is ahead, who is behind, and how the game is going is easily visible on the screen.

Games like DotA and LoL have too many mechanics built into them that are just debt from their origins as a Warcraft 3 mod. They're not really intuitive or sensical to the uninitiated.

Moreover, in Starcraft if lots of different things are happening at once, it's as technically challenging for the players to keep track of as it is for the viewers. With MOBAs the action is scattered across 3 to 6 areas of the map at the same time, so it's way more complicated to keep track of as a spectator.

The Blizzard MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, was kind of designed from the ground up to be a lot more watchable. They got rid of the item stuff and moved the complexity from being focused on the character builds to more strategic stuff that's visible on the map. But it doesn't seem to have taken off that much.
I am sure it will begin with children, chipped on behalf of their neurotic and anxious mothers.
While implied volatility is a feature of derivatives (and by extension, options), the price of an equity does undergo volatility, particularly from the heightened trading activity in anticipation of e.g. earnings. Volatility is not restricted to the definition of implied volatility.

Story points: there’s no right way to do it
It's worrying how obscure and poor standards compliance modern hardware is starting to display. And we're talking about PCs. Let's not even discuss mobiles.

In 2012 I bought a MacBook Air to run Linux. It's a great silent machine with all Intel hardware, except the pretty poor quality Broadcom wireless card. It boots with any vanilla kernel, and everything just works. Except for poor wireless range. What machine can I buy these days that?

i) Just works on Linux (which in practice means everything has to be Intel, including the wireless card)

ii) Is reasonably silent

The only machine I've found worth considering is a Xiaomi Air 12 with a m3 (fanless) CPU. Some Thinkpads are OK, but they tend to be on the noisy side of things due to excessively small fans and too much power I don't need. This, despite aggressively tweaking powertop settings.

I'm also looking for external USB high-gain wireless antennas. But even classic Alfa ones with Atheros 9271 chipsets are a hit and miss.

It's a bit hopeless. If someone has good suggestions, I'd be glad to consider them.

this is something else. IRST was Intel custom implementation, back when S0 did not exist. It required a custom partition.

IIRC, suspend to disk when battery runs out is now one of the standard S0 features.

At the OS level (windows 10) there is a telemetry to check the depletion rate, and initiate suspend to disk when the rate is too high or battery is too low.

Check the logs made by microsoft powercfg, they are very informative and will help you reach power savings close to what S3 allowed.

But I need that to work in Linux too, and last time I checked it wasn't as good.
The article you're linking to is outdated. It talks about java 7 and CMS, which is deprecated as of OpenJDK9. There are other collectors in OpenJDK and then there are other JVMs too. They all come with a lot of different overhead, complexity, latency and throughput tradeoffs.

> some of the assumptions that Brian was tossing out are not good ones to make.

We COMPLETELY welcome other analysis and listing other assumptions. Internally, we argued endlessly about why this or that wasn't totally accurate, and finally decided to publish the math WITH all of our assumptions exposed so you could be the judge. If Amazon wants to publish their assumptions for S3 for comparison, we're all ears.

> that Drive Savers will exist as a company 10 years from now

Absolutely true, this calculation is only good RIGHT NOW. For example, one of the things that came up internally was "well, when drives get more dense the rebuild time rises, so this calculation will no longer be accurate in two years". But at the same time, we have some additional tricks and optimizations to make which we have not done yet to cut the 6 day average drive rebuild time down to 3 days. Also, drives last us about 5 years, so your data will be migrated to totally new drives 5 years from now. Those drives will absolutely have a different drive failure rate (maybe higher, maybe lower) so the calculation will no longer have the same result 5 years from now.

> If I go see a doctor, I have no idea if I will end up with a $40, $400, $4000, or $40,000 bill until the bill comes months later and I have to pay it. NO IDEA.

This is what's really strange about the American healthcare system. For everything else in America you can either get a price up front or an estimate of total costs up front. Why should going to the doctor be any different than going to a mechanic? Pay advertised flat rates for issue diagnosis, and get estimates for the problem.

Yes, in cases of emergency you can't really shop around too much, but the majority of the time you're going to a doctor, you could at least call and get estimates of how much things will cost. It's not even possible to do this with most healthcare organizations. If you call your doctor's reception and ask "how much will it cost for this visit?" they'll tell you they don't do billing and they won't know until it's processed by insurance.

Price transparency in the healthcare market - or at least some decent estimate of it - would be a great thing to see. American healthcare is ridiculously inefficient because it appears wholly designed to be byzantine.
