With all due respect, I feel this is a lack of imagination. We could have said the same thing about soup kitchens, or basic income, or social welfare, or anything else that doesn't cleanly draw profit.

So yes, it doesn't work. At least not until we demand it does and distort the legal, social, and cultural frameworks around it.

As one solitary example, what about a shift to using copyfarleft licensing that only allows MIT-level freedom to nonprofits and co-operatives, while for-profit orgs pay fees instead of just leeching. This has the added bonus of shifting benefit to platform cooperatives, which governments are already starting to ideologically favour as we all see the gleaming metal edge of platform capitalism.

There are a hundred more options if we believe building the commons is better than milking it dry.

I agree that not having to reason about lifetimes can lower the cost of software development. However, GC is a very well-developed field, both in research and in practice, and I don't expect any game-changing breakthroughs there in the forseeable future. All GCs impose significant performance tradeoffs --- forcing you to take a hit on at least one of (worst-case) latency, throughput, and memory overhead. Apart from pure reference-counting, they require some sort of runtime support and make it difficult to write code that can be used as a library by non-cooperative applications (e.g. C programs). (Hardware support for GC can be interesting but then you have the problem that there's no one-size-fits-all GC that works well for all languages and workloads.)

I agree that for some applications the overheads of GC are fine and wrangling lifetimes is tricky enough you should use a GC-based language, not Rust (and probably not Swift either, since it's easy to write Swift-style reference counting in Rust).

However --- Rust lifetimes are about more than just memory safety and performance. They also enable data race freedom and strong control over aliasing, which prevent other kinds of bugs and can enable higher degrees of optimization. They enable affine types, which let you write APIs with very nice static guarantees, e.g. that a Nonce value is only used once. I don't think we're fully exploiting Rust lifetimes yet.

It's also important to remember that for many applications Rust lifetimes are hardly any burden at all. For lots of code I write --- serial, synchronous code manipulating off-the-shelf data structures where the overall shape of the heap is tree-ish, or DAG-ish and reference counting is acceptable --- I hardly have to think about them at all.
Cant wait for the pixel 4. No doubt this will be put to use.

Does Twitter even permit that? If I recall correctly, it forces SMS 2FA.

In this case, Jack's account would've been compromised regardless because the tweets were sent via a third-party application that he had authorized to use his account.
I'm not quite sure what you're referring to with "glossolalia", offhand. The shamans I work with variously use a mix of Spanish, English, and Quechua, or Shipibo-Conibo, and although all of those (if moreso the indigenous tongues) have what seem to be "filler words" with no specific (known) meaning, the overwhelming majority of the sounds they utter are recognizably from those languages, or whistling, or whatever.
Are they have bug bounty program? If they don't have and you are not hacking with their permission, you are doing illegal hacking so they can take legal actions against you, although your finding is valid.
Afaik the ruling also stated that parents abd children dont have a resonable ability to consent towards a school.
My grandparents had a farm, and while it was sold (in the 1950s) before I was born, just having the connection and hearing about it from family members keeps me from romanticizing it like people are wont to do after a few generations. None of their four kids took up farming, and that alone tells you something. It's a hard life, and my grandfather died from an accident while working on farm equipment, as people do.
Hmm. I'm gonna disagree here and say that the majority of Germans I've met speak great English. I however will caveat this with the fact that I'm 22 and it may be a generational thing. I am aware that if I go out into the sticks in Germany, I will be 100% speaking German since it seems to me the more rural I go the less English is spoken.
No but owning the namespace is important. It puts you, not Twitter, in the driver's seat.
Isn't the BPF program has to be attached with root privilege? If so, the idea that to have per service is not enforceable anyway, right? As potential my filter can affect any other process running on the host.

I’m not sure if this is an attempt to troll the thread or your legitimate point of view. If the latter, ads play a major role in the success of man (most?) great products you are currently using because without exposure most people wouldn’t know of their existence.

Sadly, that power clustered towards Google with no oversight whatsoever.

Google will continue to be opaque unless they have oversight/regulations. Something I imagine they spend quite a bit* to prevent in any way possible.
Increasing the supply of something simply does not cause price increases. If the price increases, it's because demand is increasing even faster than supply.

I would say in general depending on where you are in your career, knowing about a lot of stuff on a shallow level and knowing one or two things deeply is a competitive advantage. Especially as you move more into architect or consulting roles or even CTO.

I don't know how the account was compromised - but, I notice that Twitter's hardware U2F support is not designed to be very useable. They only allow one security key per account, whereas most users have multiple - one on the keychain, one left in the laptop, etc. So, I bet that high-risk accounts like Jack are not even using this enhanced security mode because of its poor user experience.

Compare this to Google where every employee is issued multiple hardware keys, internal systems require security keys, and they put a lot of effort into their "Advanced Protection Program" to make it useable: https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/

It reminded me of the Spinal Tap bit about the black album. "There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."

I don't think the argument was that it was not in line with GDPR. The argument is that GDPR is wrong itself in not allowing people to consent to anything which goes beyond "minimal" data collection for the purpose needed, because whether it is "minimal" is, in some sense, a value judgment as to how much convenience and innovation matter. It seems to me that the principle should be personal "ownership" of personal data - and "ownership" of data should imply the owners have the right to alienate that data as the owner sees fit, with the right safeguards to ensure this isn't coerced or a result of fraud.

On the other hand, this type of scenario doesn't feel much like the consent given was really voluntary - (1) because noone wants to be the one person who stopped the school from doing something which everyone else was on board with and (2) because it involved adults consenting on behalf of children for something which the children may not be happy about in future when they are adults and it's too late.

I really wonder how this compares to the LeapMotion tracking. My suspicion is that the leap tracking is now hardened by years of real world experience, so it's probably ahead of anything that's still in the R&D stage. But hard to know without testing it.
I don't think it was a particularly bad choice of words. The circumstances described were pretty outlandish. I was just trying to add some clarity. You're doing pretty good for a non-native speaker. Your English is much better than my nonexistent Polish.
Look at what the people working on Rust-in-Linux are actually doing. They are writing safe Rust wrappers around internal Linux APIs that drivers use and the Linux interfaces that drivers implement. Then you can write a driver in Rust that needs little or no unsafe code of its own. Better still, then you can write ten drivers in safe Rust reusing the same glue.

And honestly, writing safe Rust wrappers around C APIs is not hard to do. The community has tons of experience with this. It does not wreck the coherence of the safe Rust code that uses those wrappers, like you seem to think.
Maybe they are all focused on the visual design and adding new feature bloat. This does seem like a problem with software economics, where people will put up with non functional software as long as it looks nice and always has new features advertised to them.
I think the 1984 of our times is The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and the implications of that are too bleak for either politicians or literary critics to take on.

The issue with the GDPR as worded and this ruling is that they remove the possibility of informed individual decisions.

In this case it seems that all involved were informed and OK with it but that did not matter.

I would also think that knowing where pupils are at all times is quite a legitimate aim for a school.
Show HN: An easy way to optimize routes
I wonder if this might be a possible step on the way to the "magic plumbing" that molten-salt thorium reactors apparently need?
Very cool, really digging it!
I've been a longtime reader of PG articles and just joined startup school.

I accidentally started a pest control company out of university and we scaled to 10 employees in one year. I had no clue how to run a pest control company.

It was a mess running the company and thought of a software that could make operations easier.

So we built our initial MVP, a large EV car company from the Valley (take a guess) signed up and broke our MVP a few times. We rebuilt the software in a scalable manner and added route optimization among other upgrades.

[Redacted] is the easiest way to optimize routes that enables mobile service fleets to complete more appointments every day.

If you are interested in trying out our software, please email me at [redacted].

Appreciate any feedback.
I’ve never used kubernetes and only have the vaguest idea about what it does. But, in another life I used Nomad+Consul for orchestration of Docker containers and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

When France had a lot of socialized businesses, they used them to enforce Proper French. There are variations on this theme that could potentially work here.

Years ago there was a push to get government to make all public documents exist in a standard format so that nobody was locked into a particular vendor's (potentially for-pay) reader.

If some independent entity as large as the Public Sector supported an open standard, then it would provide a lot of friction toward efforts to balkanize the standard. Because if you weren't at least backward compatible with the standard, then people would notice.
Building a particular thing using a set of tools is not the same as infecting a set of tools with a thing.

More to the point: by injecting advertising directly into packages distributed through a package repository and/or a specific toolset / toolchain / language, the parties injecting the advertising are exploiting and mining the accrued trust of that project, toolchain, and/or language, for personal gain.

It's a tragedy-of-the-commons effect: socialised costs (building of the larger toolchain), privatised benefits (ads revenue).

The long-term consequence will be a very-well-deserved shunning of the toolchain by others. A cost largely born by the vast majority not acting antisocially.
And you have made no arguments supporting the notion that they need to fund open source for that to happen.

I guess you won't fly Airbus either, as they were recently slapped with an AD to address pitch instability problems.

"The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-251N, A321-252N, A321-253N, A321-271N, A321-272N, A321-251NX, A321-252NX, A321-253NX, A321-271NX, and A321-272NX airplanes. This AD was prompted by analysis of the behavior of the elevator aileron computer (ELAC) L102 that revealed that excessive pitch attitude can occur in certain conditions and during specific maneuvers. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate updated procedures and operational limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products."

Good. Not only does this ensure that the students enjoy privacy, monitoring children in school with surveillance systems could have come straight out of foucault's discipline and punish.

Maybe we should think about how we make schools spaces of freedom for our children rather than turning them into the next panopticon.
I'm not gonna lie. The idea of doctors steering a thin cable through my brain is one of nightmares.

But the fact that they're able to do so and save lives is a remarkable feat. I can only hope that we can eventually make most strokes much less debilitating.
It's pretty difficult to reach a human if you don't pay a ridiculous extra amount each month for support--and even then, they're rarely able to assist with actual bugs. They just assume everything that's wrong is your mistake, and when they finally come to the conclusion that it's a bug on their end, they give up.
Maybe, shock horror, they don't live in America?
Ads show up regardless of funding. Cut the bullshit. Look at how many ads are on cable television and even pay for news websites.
I don't think anyone is going to make that case, given how lukewarm the response has been in the past, and how lukewarm the response to Rust is now.
SPARK is used extensively in areas much more mission critical than the Linux kernel. One recent area I found it used which is very interesting is in the CoreBoot BIOS firmware.
I'd hesitate to call SPARK a heavier language, but I'm not sure that's what you're saying. It's definitely far, far more mature than Rust.

"The regulator noted that although some parts of the school could be deemed to be "public", students had a certain expectation of privacy when they entered a classroom.

It said there were less intrusive ways that their attendance could have been detected without involving camera surveillance."

Yeah, especially considering the students do not have a choice about being there.
This shifting-the-referent bug annoys me, because it happens with C++ too.

"C++ is really mature and there are so many C++ projects and developers!"
"Yeah but it has these problems..."
"Just use C++17, it solves all that!"
... but C++17 is not the language that is really mature and that all those C++ projects and developers are using.
This is a cool theory, but maybe somebody more versed in the details of star wars cloning technology (or even real-world cloning technology) could explain: wouldn't a clone have some visual similarity to the original? In addition to the obvious gender difference, Rey and Anikin don't really look all that similar. If Rey is a clone of Anikin in the force-using aspects, where did all her other aspects come from?

Still, I think "federated" is important in that different pieces of the system should be able to break off. If a mod can't leave a group, what use is it?

Also, "mod election" doesn't make sense. Mod should be (able to be) petty dictators - a member doesn't like a mod, they can easily go to another group and a majority means little-to-nothing online where a random number of socks or confederates can be easily recruited.
Well that proves it’s possible. So much for that theory.
Can Google even really know if a presented card number is a "virtual" credit card or not? Could this be a case of a generated virtual card number matching a card number that was previously used with an account that was shut down for fraud and that's why Google immediately banned this unrelated account?
I agree (and I'd say the low point was when I upgraded a laptop to buster and silently ended up with systemd-resolved ignoring my local LAN DNS to try to forward everything to 8.8.8.8 so couldn't resolve local hostnames).

However, you're not stuck with systemd on Debian. Install sysvinit-core and remove systemd-sysv, and install libpam-elogind and elogind instead of libpam-systemd if you need it. You'll very likely still end up with some of the libraries installed - it's not the end of the world and you can install Devuan if you really don't want that, but systemd won't be running as PID 1 and you don't get rubbish like journald or resolved.
