We could make wide progress with current generation plants. Evidence? France. Also a ton of research studies. I'm not sure why you think we need gen IV reactors. Sure, that'd be nice, but gen III is good enough. I've never heard the argument that we "need" new l newer designs. The argument I've heard there is that it's safer and cheaper so probably easier to get public opinion on the side of the scientific consensus.

That's definitely not the norm. I'm in Seattle, and while it isn't hard to find restaurants with vegan options, you certainly won't "almost always" find vegan options if you just go into a random restaurant. I found the same thing to be the case in LA, lots of vegan options but they definitely were not in every restaurant. Perhaps you just self-select vegan friendly restaurants?

Just like a government can distort a market through intervention, so can cartels distort a government through corruption. Unlike gang members, most operatives in a government or political campaign need tons of clean money for ad spending, transportation, and paying for venues, campaigners, etc. Most of the individuals and businesses involved will not take dirty money for liability reasons (at least in the US).

The purpose is to prevent some of the most violent organizations from getting a foothold in politics that makes their underlying activities even harder to stop.
Maybe an array of jevois with NoIR lenses and an IR illuminator (http://jevois.org/doc/Lenses.html) with the jevois doing object detection in array mode over a large FoV, then another camera with a much nicer macro lens and high quality sensor (blackfly S w/ a DSLR macro) on a turrent that points to where you see objects of interest identified by the jevois object detector.

Would be a fun project.
Right, there's definitely all sorts of issues with closures (esp async ones) if you don't have lifetime analysis. But Rust is the only systems programming language that I take seriously.

After reading a little bit about meaning, it seems that it's something that has to be found first

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_(existential)

so even if there's meaning in the most miserable of lives, it's not guaranteed that it will be found. However, I haven't found anything suggesting that meaning makes life worth living, only a passing mention of it bringing happiness, which doesn't square with my understanding of torture or concentration camps. Am I misunderstanding what meaning is?
Not getting the connection here. I don't think contraceptives are used to prevent the existence of a child living a life of suffering. They seem most often used to avoid inconvenience on the side of the potential parents.
I am pretty sure the article didn't claim that C won't always have it's place – alone for all the existing codebases it makes sense to use it. If people still learn latin many centuries after the fall of Rome, why would they ever stop to deal with C?

I am somebody who uses C on embedded but really likes the way Rust does things too. Sometimes my naive Rust implementations outperformed my optimized C code very easilly (maybe I am not good enough, who knows). What I especially liked are the zero cost abstractions, which allows you to keep that cost you were talking about very low.

And if I like to do stuff on my own I just do it inside an unsafe block and I am very close to what I could/would do in C.

Even if Rust would fade away it teached me a few hard lessons that definitly improved my C programming.
Without going into an opinion piece about non-competes, I am wondering what kind of workplace situation played out that AWS would proactively sue an ex-employee who is not even that important in the company.

Like, did this guy copy an entire shared drive at work one day and say, "Piss off wankers!" before leaving for Google?

I mean, it's not very unheard of that employees cycle around jobs between the FAANGs in similar roles for a pay boost. What is creating the bad blood here?
The difference with btc is that the act of confiscation becomes extracting a passphrase stored in one's mind instead of moving physical atoms. Historically physical assets have been seized countless times.
> "people with depression and similar mental health problems aren't welcome at Stripe"

That an interesting question. Would you like to work in a tandem with a person with mental health problems? Is it the same as asking "people with chronic fatigue and similar health issues are not welcome at company specialized at manual labor" ?
>I am shocked at how easy it was to stop. I always pictured some long and tormented inner battle, but the book made the necessity of the decision self-evident. I eat meat maybe once per month now, a 99% reduction in intake, with no significant physical or psychological struggle whatsoever.

I found this to be the case too. It wasn't particularly challenging to stop eating meat, and if anything I felt physically and mentally better afterwards
> Undo send? That always struck me as a silly feature. It just sends another email, one politely requesting the removal of the first.

No, it delays sending by, say, 20 seconds so you can cancel sending it. It’s useful if you accidentally hit send. I think you’re referring to the “recall” option on Exchange, and you’re right that it never really worked.
Yeah it’s just a ridiculous situation. I had to unfollow all React related things on Twitter the moment I saw people lambasting Dan Abramov as “selfish” for disabling his Twitter for the sake of his sanity. It’s one thing to promote diversity, it’s another to create massive problems for the innocent over nothing.. especially the innocent that have been nothing _but_ genuinely supportive of your cause.

It seems that the cancel-cult left has really taken hold, at least in the loud places on social media.

That is something we do. Almost all cities, even very progressive ones, have a long history of redlining, which is still being dismantled today. The biases are racial and on income, which are strongly commingled from even heavier handed discrimination in the past.

The current separation of rich white and poor black/brown absolutely did not and does not fall out of a free market without consistent, long term, and deliberate racial action. Frankly, this is completely ignored by most neoliberal treatments of the housing issue.
It is highly relevant. Failure to understand the reasoning of the opposition makes it hard for those that do want to reduce emissions to gain office, which drastically reduces the ability to introduce changes to limit climate change.
I used to work as a programmer to a kind of a Brazilian NGO (Non-governmental organization) named "CRIA" whose aim is to the dissemination of electronic information, mostly concerning biodiversity data. When I was working there, they were really struggling to get any kind of financing. I am sure they could use some help. Their website is this one: www.cria.org.br/about/

> Why is energy density necessary for cheap batteries?

So you can put them in cars, boats, planes, and other things.

Yeah, I know, we have Teslas. But do you know it's twice the weight of an ICE alternative? Weight matters a lot. While we've made a lot of progress in the last few decades, the best research batteries are still 100x below any fossil fuel in terms of energy density.

Mozilla Corp - which owns the Thunderbird project - decided to focus resources on the browser project and away from peripheral software projects like Thunderbird that were fading in usage and couldn't reasonably be seen to make a difference out in the world. In my humble opinion, Mozilla _should_ fund an open-source front end to the various cloud email hosting services.

I feel like I'm in bizarro world. It opens with:

>At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. We design our products to protect users’ personal data, and we are constantly working to strengthen those protections.

And ends with Apple saying they will no longer store audio recordings listened to by third party contractors by default. If Apple cares about privacy, why was that not opt-in to begin with?
Whenever I see these posts I feel like Heroku narrowly missed out on shaping the rest of the cloud just by staying proprietary and expensive.
Yes, the formatted version seems better. My complaint with Rust is the heavy use of symbols. I do not know what is going on most of the time because of it. How would you format this example?

fn deserialize< D: de::Deserializer< 'de > >( deserializer: D ) -> Result< Self, D::Error > {

In my opinion it is not obvious what most of the code is doing when you have hundreds of lines of code and each line contains lots of symbols. Again, this is just my opinion and perhaps my limitation.

I looked at many codebases and found that they were not easy on chaining and using symbols. I do not deny that they could have written it in a more readable way, but generally it was not the case in my experience, based on these projects at least.
I agreed with everything you said except:

>but it's a far cry from being the next C/C++ when it comes to potential market adoption.

Because C++ is very similarly complex/arcane etc.

In improve terms, it's sort of like "yes and" vs "no but".
Diamonds, especially the recent craze around discolored ones might be a good comparison. They are valuable mostly because of years of shrewd marketing. If DeBeers started telling the truth, they could drop in value pretty quickly.
> Siri uses a random identifier — a long string of letters and numbers associated with a single device — to keep track of data while it’s being processed, rather than tying it to your identity through your Apple ID or phone number — a process that we believe is unique among the digital assistants in use today. For further protection, after six months, the device’s data is disassociated from the random identifier.

Interesting, I thought I had heard it widely reported that Apple was keeping hold of audio records tagged with your Apple ID for 6 months, before anonymizing. That looks like it wasn't the case, and Apple was only tagging those recordings with a device ID, presumably to associate recordings with other recordings.
Going to EKS would take less time than exploring hacks.
Stripe's Glassdoor profile consistently perplexes me. For a company that large that has been around as long as it has to only have 81 reviews is very strange. There is no easy way with Glassdoor to get a true measure of # reviews per total active FTEs per year but it feels much lower than other companies that are both younger and smaller.
IEEE754 defines 5 rounding modes. This one sounds like nearest, ties to even. Not all decimal values are representable as float. Depending on if you compile for x87 (80-bit internal repreaentation) or SSE (64-bit) you might get slightly different results.
That's what a mistry recipe looks like, with some additional conventions (e.g. params are accessible in the project as files located in `/data/params`). mistry recipes are essentially Dockerfiles.

Optimism doesn't always manifest in excitement. It's mostly a believe that a target can be achieved, even though how to achieve it isn't always clear. And it applies outside of work as well. I have depression episodes, and I sympathize with those who are unable to overcome it and so take their lives, but one of the reasons I'm still here is my optimism that every bout will eventually end, and I'll be happy and usual again.
Async Stack Traces in Rust
Try to get a job where you can do scala/another FP language, gosh, even Ruby/Python/Javascript has good functional constructs and have ways of writing functional code. As they are languages you might know, learn how to explore FP on those langs to the maximum.

I wouldn't overvalue LISP or Haskell, just because it is something that you aren't so used to, or that it gets frequently cited here in HN. I particularly like the SICP book , but think it is a bit silly how some people overvalue this.
It appears to be a significant enough rewrite that no upgrade path from previous versions is available.
No I mean most large corporations would rather have employees that don't have a history of suing similar large corporations for damages incurred after whistleblowing. It's only a little worse in universities compared to other faceless corporations because the fields are so small and so much of an academic career is built on reputation.

You're starting from the assumption that the allegations are true. But if you're inside the field, you know the professor, go to conferences with him... At some point, the department has to decide if you want to hire a troublemaker, and then actually go to bat for them with the administration who will look at the hire as a business risk.
What's the cost? If you're not afraid of `unsafe`, you can do in Rust exactly the same stuff you do in C, while still having strong guarantees for all your safe code. You might argue that fighting the borrow checker has development costs, but the memory issues that it prevents also have a development cost.

I used to work for a company that serviced a very secure site (military).

The rule was NOTHING electronic went in that wasn't accounted for, and NOTHING ever left. We sent people onsite with what were effectively disposable laptops that were single use items and never left the location.

Showing up at the gate with anything extra was said to be a very bad idea. It never happened so I don't know what would happen.

You drove to the site in a car with only what you needed in it. Your license, keys, the equipment you were scheduled to bring. Smartphones weren't ultra common yet, but were absolutely forbidden. The car itself was searched too even though it was in a parking lot far from anything sensitive. You were warned that anything suspicious would not be in the car when you came back (like the extra stuff rule I don't know of anyone that happened to as nobody was foolish enough to drive out with anything but a clean rental car).

I honestly think that is the only security that makes sense. That should be the status quo for some areas the White House too IMO. At least as far as meetings and etc.

Maybe one day we get physical switches that power off cameras and mics, but hard to trust anything until that day....maybe not then.
I feel if they provided you with a way (on device) to provide a corrected version and/or mark individual transcription entirely on device, with the option to forward individual options.

E.g. Wanting to “help Siri get better” shouldn’t have to be an all-or-nothing opt-in. Though obviously individual posts are also probably less likely to be sent.

Or maybe simply sending the local model updates would be sufficient to improve things globally?

>many vegans are very price sensitive, not to mention have a disproportionate amount of other dietary restrictions

Price sensitive as in not willing to pay as much as traditional customers? In my experience vegans tend to pay more for their food, as many of them look for local produce, fair trade, organic, etc. which drives the price up. I'd also be curious to learn what other dietary restrictions they may have. Aside from a few that avoid gluten, most of my vegan friends only avoid animal products with no other restrictions
Actually, the range of current planes is absolutely fuel mass limited. The 777-LR, which can reach these distances, carries up to 145 000 kg of fuel. This is 42% of its maximal take-off weight [1]. As a result of added weight for longer distances, planes use the least amount of fuel/km on flights of 2500 km, despite the extra fuel used to take off [2]

An electric plane flying 2000 km as opposed to 15 000 km would require an even larger proportion of their take of weight as batteries, and would thus not be able to carry a lot of passengers/cargo on such a relatively short flight. It will require a fundamental breakthrough to make passenger flights of that distance economically feasible.

In a way you're right, which is why we are exploring kubernetes. At the same time, ECS has worked really well for us as we've grown to this point. It's worth noting that we have some other motivating reasons to switch off ECS beyond deploy limitations, such as poor observability of ECS agent logs.

It's inevitable that early systems are going to bend and break at various points of the scaling process, and the interesting question is how to navigate that – fight fires for awhile or fix things immediately, hack together a stopgap solution or do the full fix, etc. We thought ours might be an interesting data point to share.

Yeah totally agree for the experienced C/C++ developer, it is like unlearning all the things that make you good. Totally agree. Good developer is like building a series of great mental models. It is hard to start over. Like trying to do linked lists in Rust...

But that being said, when you see that the majority of vulnerabilities are essentially memory lifetime issues (https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/07/22/why-rust-for-safe...), you realize that we are all human. So something like Rust could help--especially new developers.

I'd expect any decent infrastructure tool to be able to handle 4000 processes/containers. Kubernetes, for example, claims to support 300000 containers across 5000 nodes. Mesos supported 50k+ from what I understand. Hadoop scales to over 10000 nodes.
