Al-ion may be superior in energy density, but I doubt we'll be seeing it in EVs any time soon. The recharging issues may be able to be solved, but the vast majority of all funding for R&D and production is being focused on lithium right now. Lithium is "good enough" to hit the $100/kWh target which will make EVs affordable to the mass market.

Well the purists lost is my take. The vision was a fine one, just the approach that was being proposed had too many downsides to really take off.
We do! We've been pretty quietly developing it, but right now, the Rust compiler contains a full interpreter as well, specifically to do compile-time evaluation. But, we also do not want to have unlimited compile-time facilities, as that has serious soundness problems. "const fn" is the name of the user-facing feature, and MIRI is the underlying interpreter, if you want to do some searching.

That said, that work tends to fall under "compile time expressions"; "template templates" are more likely to be served by some sort of eventual HKT, or maybe even by ATC. I always forget what perfect forwarding is so I probably shouldn't comment on it.

I am willing to bet that this stuff is a major part of next year's roadmap, but we'll see!

You mean libraries wouldn't be better with ads?
I sometimes fear that, like bookstores and Toys R' Us, if you don't patronize these businesses, they will go away. As a kid I couldn't imagine a world without bookstores, now there aren't any. Same with Toys R' Us. Kids will never have that experience again. Yes, movies are expensive, but would you rather them not be there at all?
Some movies are subtitled. Contact your local theater to see which. And you can find tea at plenty of places. Look for your local art house cinema.

i strongly agree with this point. Freedom to educate onselfes without using institutionalised education is also VITAL for a democracy to function properly.

People seem to forget libraries are one of the only places one can gain new knowledge regardless of their economic state or status. (atleast, that is how it works in my country).
It's not just that they forget. They are actively encouraged to not think about these things. It's not the startup way, so don't do that. The rules for SV-funded companies are this:

1. Get big no matter what.
2. Play as fast and loose with the rules as you need to in order to accomplish 1.
3. Never think about profitability. Profitability slows growth.

All 3 can be summarized as: Never think about anything that slows growth.

Const fn is being worked on (available in unstable rust). C++ style templates (if that's what you mean by template templates) are not something that is planned for Rust, but some limited forms of specialization are being considered (a simple version is available in unstable).

For powerful meta programming Rust aims for procedural macros, not for templates, but I'm not too familiar with the details.

It's crazy. The data is basically worthless. I honestly don't know if they will survive for more than a few months.

I was just thinking, what could they possibly do to survive as long as possible?

They could introduce incentives to reduce the number of movies people saw a week? Maybe some kind of credit system, where customers built up points towards a premium membership.

They could also start taking the most expensive users of their platform. For whatever reason they could. Ban users sharing accounts. Introduce friction somehow. Get them to reenter their payment info.

The customer data is mostly worthless but it's scary. They could weaponize it. Announce to high use customers that they're going to sell non premium customer data. Might scare off some privacy minded customers.

Strong arm theaters somehow? Send customers to certain theaters and away from others by dangling credits toward premium or some other incentive structure

Some background:

In 2017, the Supreme Court recognised a fundamental right to privacy in Puttaswamy vs Union of India, and the Centre constituted the Srikrishna Committee to help frame the country’s data protection law.

A summary of recommendations starts at page 168. It agrees that India's current data protection framework is inadequate, and that the data protection law should apply to entities regardless of where they are physically located, so long as they process the data of Indian residents/citizens.

The committee also agrees that individuals should have core rights including notice and consent — the right to be notified of data collection and the right to consent to data collection. Other rights that it recognises for data subjects include the right to be forgotten and the right to data portability (both, in limited forms). It also has identified certain additional user rights, including the right of users to access and rectify personal data, the right to object to and restrict processing (including for direct marketing), and the right against decisions being made only by automated processing.

Oh, I see, tig puts merges on one line. I used two for some reason. I think I was copying git graph too closely and missed that opportunity. It would be rather easy to modify my elisp version to be like tig.

When I was testing mine the worst case repository for me was git.git. It's essentially useless to view the graph in any ASCII viewer. It actually breaks tig right now on my box. gitk does much better because it breaks some of the long branches rather than piling them all up until it no longer fits on the screen.

This story is a classic "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story" moment.

We (the United States) used Otto Warmbier as a propaganda tool, the media (as in many things to do with Trump) was complicit in this use. While in general, I don't like propaganda, I don't object however, to propaganda in this case - if some good comes of it. It's not the first time we've (as a country) invented a story from near whole cloth to sell something, and it probably wont be the last.
Going out for lunch with colleagues is quite common in some countries, e.g. Czech republic. You split into groups of five to ten people and go with the group that decided to go to the place where you like the food for the day... Usually there are several groups at different times, at 11, 12, etc.

It worked fine most of the time and you don't eat with the same ppl every day, so you get to know colleagues from neighboring teams as well...
This. This 100x. Complete client isolation in air and in the wire. You'll sleep better.

What is somewhat frustrating is that some vendors still design their equipment, and especially their setup process, in a way that it requires (W)LAN without client isolation.

I don't want to call out names, but vendors out there, please, please, please with sugar on top, built your IoT setup process in a way that I can complete it without assumption that both device and client will be able to connect to same WiFi and be able to communicate directly with each other. E.g. modern, well behaving IoT do it along the lines of:

1) on fresh start device creates WiFi access point (AP) or is visible via Bluetooth (not big fan of the latter, but...)
2) Connect to temp hotspot (or BT) with your laptop, or phone
3) Setup device (e.g. which WiFi to use, create account, ...)
4) At the completion of the setup, device shuts down temp AP, and device and laptop/phone connect back to their WiFis
5) From this point-on, all communications from client to device go via internet / service provided by IoT device manufacturer (ideally over TLS).

I recognize that by design I am now in a strong vendor lock-in. E.g. should manufacturer of given device go out of business or discontinue service, that particular IoT will become useless just the same. So it goes...

Ask HN: Starting an Online Business
I have a business idea and am considering launching an online business in the next six months. I'm beginning to think more specifically about the website aspects of the business. As I do not have the technical skills to create a website with payment functions and which is optimized for search engines, how should I go about looking for and selecting competent people for this?

I've looked at the interfaces of many online businesses and it seems that creating a good (simple, efficient, search-engine optimized, right balance of information) website is more difficult than it seems.

What's a good price range for this service? I understand it depends on the complexity of the online site but would like to know what kind of factors impact cost the most.

For those in this field, what are the most important long-term considerations for the technical/business success of an online company (or rather one that uses the internet as a virtual storefront)?

Thanks a bunch!

This is the difference between having a sense of civic duty and community vs. not. The customer/business relationship is a poor substitute for the real thing, even when they try to foster the trappings of false "community."

there was a time when people considered the idea of an institution having a long and complete list of everything you've read more than creepy, it was terrifying.

As it should be. There are institutions and cohorts of society trying to control access to information and opinion. This has been going on for quite some time. Noam Chomsky co-wrote a book about it in the 80's.

Libraries don't play nearly as much of a role in making sure that people can access information privately as they used to, they've been shoved out of the way, but they were far more principled guardians of it than tech companies

A librarian friend of mine noted that libraries had come into the business of de-facto social work.

Concerning NIFs, it is entirely possible to write Membrane elements using NIFs in Rust ;) The reason why current ones are written in pure C is that they mostly consist of calls to existing libraries, also in C. We've experimented with using Rust, but we ended up with most part of our code being unsafe calls to library functions, providing more boilerplate than profits. If we are to create a considerable big native part of Membrane, we will definitely consider using Rust.

>The truth is most people never go to libraries

The truth is, most people don't go to _any_ single place. A lot of people frequent libraries, but they're probably not in the same socioeconomic place as you. When you wrote that last sentence, did you stop to think that maybe you don't really know what you're talking about?
I wonder what the problems with sodium and potassium are. Sodium, for one, is an extremely common element on Earth's surface, which I can't say for Lithium. Potassium is also very common. You can get all the sodium you could possibly want just by drying out seawater. By contrast, lithium supply seems to be limited to a few places such as Bolivia.
Modern games (say, since the playstation 2 generation) tend to rely on clocks to compute animations. This is most obvious today when consoles often get several different clockspeeds across their release lifetime--my current xbox one is faster than my original xbox one by a tangible amount. It's also necessary when different parts of a 3d scene will render at different rates--you don't want to be able to slow the animation down by looking at something complex.

The title is how a lot of people understand evolution, though. As if the lizard's genes or evolution itself has intent and makes decisions based on stresses.

Wrong. Spending on libraries is not what is causing us to not be able to afford lunch for needy children.

"Could Amazon meet those needs more cheaply? If so, that is a win."

Only if those who currently use the library are able to use Amazon with the same regularity. Is Amazon providing children's summer reading programs? Is Amazon providing an air conditioned space during the summer heat waves and a heated space during winter cold snaps? Is Amazon actually helping you do research?
You could easily go into Business Intelligence. That area is full of consultants who get tons of cash for just knowing a single database or application and spending their days at customers helping them use it properly.

Slack channels (and Zulip streams and HipChat rooms) are not "hashtags", they're IRC channels in modern form.

When a user is forced to add a tag for a message, you're more likely not to get anything tagged and therefore decrease the utility of search.

So you're going to start auto-assigning a tag, maybe based on their last message, which brings you back to channels / topics / chatrooms.
Actually emulating the CPU, even with a JIT, isn't as much of a performance drain as you'd think. The performance elephant is synchronization. If the CPU and the GPU aren't running at exactly the same speed as they were on original hardware, then timing is different from what a game might expect, and that can introduce untold bugs.

Real games on the console didn't have to worry about timing variances, so the emulator can't have them, but that means it needs to do a whole ton of extra work to make sure the various hardware bits are all running more or less in sync with each other.
