> We’ve had 2786 distinct people contribute. And that’s only to rust-lang/rust; not Cargo, not any of the libraries the team maintains, not any of the other kinds of work that doesn’t produce a commit.

To put this into more context: a lot of the code shipped with the Rust toolchain does not live in rust-lang/rust.

Some parts of the standard library (HashMap, HashSet, C FFI, intrinsics, etc.) are used as dependencies. All of the tools (the linter, language server, rustfmt, rustup, cargo, etc.) are dependencies. Many compiler components like miri (constant evaluator), chalk (type queries), polonius (borrow checking), etc. are also dependencies. The Cranelift code generation backend can be dynamically used and does not live in rust-lang/rust, etc. Then there is the RFC repository, and probably other things.

Counting contributors for such a distributed infrastructure isn't easy, but the number of contributors to rust-lang/rust isn't super meaningful.

One might be able to do better by finding commits to rust-lang/rust that update "Rust" submodules (e.g. not LLVM), and adding the contributors to those repos from the last update. One might also want to find commits that update versions of rust-lang/rust dependencies, and for those that live in the rust project (or that have dependencies there), count the contributors from the last version, etc.

The Rust project has seen significant modularization over the last couple of years, and the more modular it gets, the less meaningful "contributors to rust-lang/rust" becomes, and the less accurate the "Thanks!" pages of each release become.
Cool fact: Porsche 930 is nicknamed "Widowmaker" because it had a tendency to steer rear-first into trees back in the day.
Couldn't agree more. I see it already happening on some companies that allow employees to arrive anytime between 7am and 11am and leave once they do their daily hours. In my job I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20% of the people arrive before 8am or after 10am. I suppose it could be even better if there was an actual policy of organising it so as to improve spreading as much as possible.
One scenario like this played out after the mortgage crisis in 2008. Many banks now owned homes where the mortgage amount was greater than the market value, ie underwater. There was a ton of bank owned inventory for a long time because a) They are banks, not real estate companies with all of the expertise in marketing and transacting single family homes in bulk b) the market for homes significantly shrunk in the years after 2008.

In hot markets sure, maybe a bank might see a default and repossession as a good thing, but I doubt they are optimizing for those scenarios.
I thought that winter time was the default and summer time was opt-in by the states. But that both California and Florida when seeking to change to summer time all year round had to get approval from congress.
I feel that Clinton winning the popular vote is also a statement that does not give a clear picture, iirc, her popular vote majority was entirely due to her humongous majority in the single state of California, if you exclude the outlier of that single state and consider the figure from the remaining 51 states, then Clinton no longer has a majority on the votes.
But that's not what this is about. It's about saving the original source for later use. Be it FLIC files, GIFs, or w/e the next format is. Archiving is fairly important.
Agree. I'm in bed between 9-10 every night (later than that is an exception), and read a book on my phone as part of my sleep ritual. My phones DnD comes on at 9 so I do not get any alerts while reading. From when I get in bed to read, to when I fall asleep might be 15 minutes depending on how much exercise I did that day.

I set an alarm for 6am, but even without one I'm up between 6-7.

Personally, I think the key for people who have a hard time sleeping is consistency. If someone is trying to go to sleep at 10pm Sunday through Thursday, but then staying up until 2-3am Friday and Saturday it's no wonder they can't get on a schedule.
It seems the issues are two fold:

1. PDF file format doesn't support a "whole document signature" as a concept. Instead, it only supports signing arbitrary fragments of the document.

2. PDF tooling/software doesn't warn the user when a PDF contains some signed and some unsigned fragments. Or where fragments have been signed with different certificates.

I think that is the gist of it?
This is an ironically condescending statement.
I can relate,too; but, I'm not sure I can access some of it. While some is on floppies and I can read them -- some have failed -- stuff that needs my Zip Drives or Bernoulli drives?

Optometry, particularly w/ re: prescriptions, seems like the one field of healthcare where patients can be reasonably informed. You can generally tell instantly if a prescription is right for you, and I wouldn't think there's any incentive for an optometrist to lie about your Rx.

I have done this twice, once ages 24-31 and once 31-34. Both ended up being financially advantageous, especially the first time around when few of my peers were buying houses. Both times it ended up being complicated. It didn't ruin friendships or result in bad feelings between us, but it wasn't easy.

The first time though I wanted to move out before the other owner wanted to sell, so he stayed another 2 or 3 years and I was just a silent landlord, which was okay but made it impossible for me to get another mortgage or even a new credit card. In the end he got married and wanted to sell. This was in the DC area where the market was pretty much always hot, so selling the property was easy. Anywhere else it could have been more complicated.

The second time my friendship deteriorated over the course of the time I lived there because of external circumstances, in the end the other owner agreed to refinance and buy me out, and there was a little tension during the process but I think we both walked away satisfied with the outcome. One of the reasons our friendship deteriorated was because as we grew into adulthood, my friend chose a career in the service industry, and I chose a career as a teacher, and it sucked living with someone who had the opposite schedule. Over time as we settled into our lives, our social schedules diverged as well, which was definitely detrimental to our relationship.

I would actually recommend it either to people who are young and early in their adulthood, so that they have lots of flexibility and don't mind the challenges and inconveniences that it entails, or to people who are well settled in adulthood who already have similar lifestyles, employment situations, work schedules, etc. to minimize friction.

Funnily enough the beach is called Avoid Bay. I had to track down that location via satellite maps and then walk 1km+ through scrub on kangaroo trails to get to the beach. Any 4WD evidence in the area looked to be very old and long-since blocked off. I'd guess maybe any other access had been by boat, but even then, most people would probably head to more accessible and just as attractive beaches instead.

Everyone has a right to experience it, and I had the same experience or close to it on countless beaches in that area. We'd need a lot more people visiting before it got to even a hundredth of Bondi.

Any touristed location will reach an equilibrium with its crowds. There's always an alternative for those not keen on the hordes. Go to Simitai instead of Badaling. The Louvre has countless alternatives to the Mona Lisa's room. The Grand Canyon has dozens of vantages. You don't have to walk far from the central area of Zion National Park to have expanses to yourself.

Some people take yet another photo of a popular attraction. Others visit an online discussion and throw another viewpoint into the maelstrom as though it achieves much of consequence. Each to their own.

There has been a huge fearmongering campaign behind net neutrality, partially funded by companies that profit from net neutrality.

Net neutrality is a classic case of regulatory capture, the very thing people think it will suppress. If you think Google and Netflix are supporting NN because it's a right thing to do, instead of their profit motive, you're extremely naive.
Artifact of the industrial revolution if I'm not mistaken; "8 hrs of sleep, 8 hrs of work, 8hrs of entertainment"; which is obviously a lie and not much more than propaganda, but people seems to put up with it.

You're not mistaken, just missing the critical detail: it was a demand of the labor movement. An improvement over the nightmare of far longer hours in the early industrial revolution. But we've digressed.

> The whole idea of 'natural' is normative garbage

You do you. Technology evolved much faster than our bodies during the last 200-300 years, our internal cycle still heavily relies on light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm), now you can chose to ignore that or go with what evolution designed you for. You can brush of "natural" as being a hippie thing if you want, at the end of the day we're all slave to our bodies, better at least try to please it than to force it in "unnatural" processes.

My point was that it's kind of silly to talk about nature or natural in this context. I'm a regular IT guy, too, and unless I abscond to a place where I don't have to work ever again or have full control over my schedule, the moralisms are just salt in the wound. Most people aren't sleeping enough because of work demands and stress, not because they didn't read an article which says obvious things - yeah, we all know about natural light, blue light, screen time and caffeine at this point. What we don't know is how to pay a mortgage and 'go natural' simultaneously.

The soundwaves float, not the thing producing them.
Haven’t heard of blue light blocker glasses. My wife and I put in red led bulbs for our nightstand lights and read paper books or magazines for about a half hour before going to sleep. I also do legs up the wall for about 10 minutes right before going to sleep and that really helps me.
For local attractions like that what municipalities can do is set access for locals as free and access to out of town tourists at some price.

Foot traffic will degrade natural sites, with the fees they can better take care of these sites and ensure they don’t become overrun.

Bhutan has an interesting system for foreign tourists, they have a visa cap as well as a hefty visa fee. It’s one way to dampen demand to more sustainable levels.

Historically tourism has been very bourgeois, now it’s become ‘democratized’ bug that has untaxed externalities.

Usually these inform tools that can be used to detect rule violations.

For example, the rust constant evaluator can execute almost all Rust at run-time except for FFI. This allows you to write `cargo miri test` in your project, and run your unit tests in the constant evaluator.

The constant evaluator executes the program based on rules given by models like this, and if you perform an action that violates one of the rules, they report an error.

For example, this program mutates a variable while a shared borrow (which excludes mutation) is alive via a raw pointer

fn main() {
let mut a = 13;
let b = &a;
let c = b as *const _ as *mut _;
unsafe { *c = 42; }
println!("b = {}", b);
}

On the playground it prints "b = 42" (https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...).

The playground has a `Tools` button, that allows you to run the program under `miri` (the constant evaluator). When doing so, it prints:

error[E0080]: constant evaluation error: borrow being
accessed (Alias(None)) does not exist on the borrow stack
--> src/main.rs:5:14
|
5 | unsafe { *c = 42; }
| ^^^^^^^ borrow being accessed
(Alias(None)) does not exist on the borrow stack

error: aborting due to previous error

The error messages of the constant evaluator aren't great yet, but that basically tells you that it couldn't find a suitable mutable borrow to mutate the variable, so the access is undefined behavior.
Here in Morocco, it was made permanent starting this year, so instead of being GMT we are GMT+1 all year round,

No, it's still widely used in humans as an anaesthetic.

Yes - it used to be GMT. Franco changed it in 1940s to be in line with the German occupied Europe and it was never changed it back.
Caving can be incredibly fun as well, tight squeezes can come with the territory but there's plenty of horizontal walking/borehole opportunities. It is pretty geographically dependent.

I think the problem might be that a lot of people will assume replacing the battery in a Tesla isn't much different from replacing the battery in their 1998 Toyota.

Hmmm no we can also think he uses mostly weak papers with dodgy methodologies and over-generalizes the conclusions. Not all scientists within a field agree with any given scientist of that field, that would be ludicrous.

I couldn’t disagree with you more except the complaining usually takes over the HN thread.

It’s not that nerds, geeks and technology-savvy audience of HN wants something for the “power user”. It’s that we want simplicity in design. We want to get rid of decoration and get to the essence of what is being presented. Animations, fancy loaders, etc get in the way of enjoying the content.

“Chill out, this is supposed to be a relaxing experience” is not the answer. It’s condescending and out of touch with reality. How can the user “Chill out” if the browser comes to a crawl, phone heats up and is confused about what is going on.

Do you remember Apple’s “Cover flow” where you can scroll through album covers? This website reminds of how designers get carried away by fancy, novel ideas. It was a massive failure, everyone used album lists, it was slow as hell and Apple finally killed it in one of the recent MacOS releases. It’s not about “power users”.
True, but we do need one of everything to be open source.
> Is the BBC writing more clickbait headlines than ever? continue reading to find out more!

I notice this more and more, along with promotion of clearly trivial stories to the front page - is a banal and contrived tweetstorm about Trump/race/trans/gender/tax issues justifiably worth elevating above a story like Venezuela, or rampant knife crime, or any number of other inconvenient yet important stories about which the BBC chooses to avert its eyes?

I believe that much of what is motivating their current direction seems to be desperate fear of becoming irrelevant in a changing media landscape (an existential threat given that with falling engagement the license fee would eventually become untenable), hence their degeneration into a crumby buzzfeed simulacra. Another reliable institution subverted and going down the tubes, hey ho.
Because that constitutes discrimination against the deaf...
The thing that annoys me most about this pattern is that people always miss the "there needs to be lots of things you want to perform on those thingies".

It's sometimes hard to not want to make pretty user interfaces - in fact why shouldn't we have pretty user interfaces?! But the problem I find some designers suffer from is they're so focused on an initial short term wow that they completely forget (or simply don't care?) about any longer term usage.

They say first impressions count but so does long term exposure.

Venice in Italia is like that during the whole year.

I was in Venice in mid-September a few years ago and it wasn't bad at all. Even places like the Piazza San Marco weren't really crowded. Go a few hundred meters away from the main attractions and the streets where empty. The only crowds we really saw where a few hours one day when a cruise ship showed up.

Same experience here. I felt like a dead man walking when my kiddo was born. Absolutely lifeless and ready to die. These days he is 18mo and acts as my alarm clock. Every day 6:20 sharp. Not a minute early, not a minute late. I am quite amazed actually.

I still go to bed late at times and absolutely regret it the next morning. On days when I go to bed before 10, I feel amazing - totally refreshed, happy, physically well and ready to go. On days I go to bed past 11:30 or closer to 12 - 12:30, I feel like total shit. Waking up hurts. My body aches so much and brain asleep most of the day. My eyes are closing and I cannot focus. Those days are usually the ones where my kiddo is most taxing on me, as if he knows dad feels like shit so why not make him wish he were dead.

Sleep is so damn important. Don’t skip it. I probably shaved 5-10 years of my life already.

There was a doc on Joe Rogan show talking all about sleep - so eye opening, highly recommend looking for that interview if you’d rather listen than read.
Plus the costs of selling it (typically reposessed houses have all sorts of issues, from damage to eviction costs to disgruntled ex-tennents)

They'll likely sell at an auction for cash too. With two houses otherwise identical, one being sold normally, one as a reposession, you'd go for the normal one. How much less would you pay for a repossession which runs a risk of the previous owners coming back to haunt you?
