A fun alternative way to play with Rust on bare-metal, is https://github.com/rust-console/gba, which is a Rust crate for writing (unavoidably bare-metal) homebrew for the Gameboy Advance.

See the second half of https://rust-console.github.io/gba/bitmap-video.html for an example of what code using the gba crate looks like.

Tangent: IMHO, the GBA is a nearly-perfect platform to get started with bare-metal programming on. It's not painfully-constrained like the 8-bit micros of old, but it doesn't have any extra layers of abstraction like virtual memory, either. Plus, multimedia IO (drawing to the screen, playing sounds, reading buttons) are all just banging bits, similar to using POKEs in BASIC on an Apple II, which makes for immediate gratification, important for younger learners. And you can run GBA software through emulation on pretty much any device you own; with there being some excellent visual debuggers available as well for Windows/Linux.
Ask HN: How do you deal with phone scams?
A number of my close friends and relatives have fallen victim to phone scams. Either they received a scam call or reached out to a fake number listed on Google. What are some ways to avoid such scams? It'd be very helpful if you could share your experience and approaches you have explored to block/detect fake numbers.
Many Californians are also moving to Las Vegas. The cost of living is significantly less - and this includes rental prices. I have seen prices under $1,000 per month for condos and townhomes:

India's massive bureaucratic system runs far deeper and more local than China ever has. The amount of paperwork and payoffs for even basic stuff in India is insane.

China on the other hand is mostly free and liberal up until you start being successful.

Acting like India isn't engage in authoritarian mass intervention, even though its in a more decentralize fashion is totally wrong. The only benefit is they have more independent courts and you can succeed with influence buying without the top-down threat that the CCP does to cripple foreign competitors in domestic firms favours.

India has a different sort of economic interference - but also one that's far easier to fix. Something Modi repeatedly promised and keeps failing to do.

This video is a good overview of how the Indian gov cripples business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVwIZzGHxwc
This guy knows what he is talking about. Strange parts is a fascinating watch. The classic videos are him building an iPhone from components, and then modding it to have extra features like a headphone jack. He also has done some factory tours, and recently did a series where he went to Akihabara in Japan. Great series. I found him on YouTube after reading bunnies blog but wanting more.

If this kind of stuff interests you, I also recommend YouTubers like tronicsfix. He'll buy batches of broken electronics (20 switches in the link below) troubleshoot, and repair then. None of the stuff strange parts and tronicfix is doing is particularly difficult. I think my enjoyment of these stems from the mental shift I've experienced of not treating electronics as consumables.

Normally, if I had a switch and it stopped working out of warranty, I'd probably toss it. Now, I might break out the meter and test the video chip (or other components) and see if I could replace it. Yay for learning new things.

Take a look at Intralinks and Diligent. They are basically Dropbox + embedded Office 365 but with ultra tight security controls. No SSO, no IT/security access, no local storage. Generally only your head of finance, a few people from legal, and board members will have accounts.

I know of a major investment firm that has a separate GSuite instance that execs from their investments are given accounts on for sharing data.

LAPD Crimebuster Vigilante Congressional Corruption
The LA Congressional Delegation Unified in Trump Impeachment But Allows Becerra LAPD Crimebuster Vigilante Corruption
Los Angeles Congressional Delegation and US Attorney Nicola Hanna asked to investigate LAPD Crimebuster Vigilante Scandal after LA impeaches President Trump. California Attorney General Becerra proves his office is corrupt by not investigating LAPD crimebuster Vigilante Complaint filed by a coalition of homeless advocacy organizations consisting of Los Angeles Community Action Network (LACAN), National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, and Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP). The corruption of the Mike Feuer Los Angeles City Attorney, whose own Neighborhood prosecutor belonged to the Vigilante group, is blatant and unacceptable. LAPD Chief Mike Moore offers corrupt disinformation on the issue Many LAPD Crimebuster vigilante’s victims were black and Hispanic and Civil Rights crimes against Blacks and Hispanics require investigation by United States Attorney Nicola T. Hanna is the chief federal law enforcement officer for the Central District of California. Mr. Hanna oversees the largest United States Attorney’s Office outside of Washington, DC. The Corruption of not investigating how the LAPD uses LAPD Community police Divisions like Topanga will belong to the Los Angeles Congressional Delegation if Becerra is not checked. The Presiding judge of the Los Angeles superior court allows Crimebuster vigilantes to corrupt courts without investigation. This is Los Angeles public Corruption, and I, Ed Ryan a victim of the LAPD Crimebuster vigilantes and LA superior court corruption will speak up and demand justice for all victims of this Los Angeles Criminal Justice corruption.
This is refreshing to see and I hope more successful companies follow this trend.

Difference is you can learn everything you need to build a house in a week. You'll make a couple mistakes, you might be off by a little bit, but it really is a lot simpler than the layman thinks. Personally I have found repetitive, physically straining work to be extremely mentally exhausting but in a worse way; There are next to no challenging problems but you are forced to keep your mind on the task with all sorts of pains and aches.
At the end of the day though it's a lot easier to walk away from your work, and you know you've always got a job.

The thing with tech is that, I think you need some passion for the trade, in order to make it any longer than a couple of years.

Doing something you hate, even if it pays well, becomes a drag real quick. Before you know it, you're hitting up your network, trying to get _something_ more interesting.

I think most people will hit a point in their mid/late 20s, where they think hard and long "Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?".
I don't really understand how these things are compatible with a 4°C+ change within 100 years. Previous temperature changes happened over tens of thousands of years. Where is that sudden temperature increase going to come from? Why does it coincide with massive population growth and the invention of modern technology. By the way the 4°C numbers are still conservative because they completely ignore unpredictable mechanisms such as feedback loops and only model the direct impact of human activity.
The US is too corrupted with evil politicians to have adequate health care, because you need adequate, healthy people to implement that and we have Donald Trump and his kindred spirits. It's not rocket science, you have to care to make changes, and they simply don't care. Melania said it best.
The exploitative intent was certainly present back then, but they weren't as good at it as they are today. The degenerate science of advertising to children has only grown more advanced.
You can be poor and have financial security. Pensions that fail to keep up with inflation would often strand the elderly with minimal income. But, assuming they had heath insurance they where generally in an very stable situation.

Literally like 99.9% of all economists who don't work for the Trump administration would disagree with this, and 100% of the ones who study the effects of international trade.
I mean the next more complicated case isn't that bad either. You set up a sidecar VM/container/machine/whatever-you-want that either instruments your DNS or gets the traffic from .well-known/acme-challenge and just renews your certs every day.

Then your load balancers pull the current cert from the sidecar every day with NFS/Gluster/Ceph/HTTP/whatver-you-want and reload the web server if it changed.

Assuming that you can catch a failure of your sidecar server in 89 days or so you don't need much more redundancy.
You is correct, he was being sarcastic I guess
Why would a researcher (i.e. someone whose talent is actually AI and not management) want any "reports"?
Profiting 70% of the time is pretty exceptional. Even with insider info like that I can't imagine anyone being able to consistently do much better. The few trading strategies I'm familiar with, you have an expectation that you probably won't even take profits 50% of the time, but that the risk/reward ratio for every given trade is at least 2:1, ideally higher. So you can profit even around 30% of the time as long you're cutting losses intelligently and only trading high-reward plays.
The biggest problem I have with this is that Mark Karpeles is, provably, a bad programmer...

I found this article very interesting while studying a bit more about the various pieces of information displayed by glances.

It neatly explains the differences between processes, threads, and context, and I learned about the fact that Linux has an extremely low cost of context switching and mode switching compared to other systems.

Yet, I'm still not sure what to do with this ctx_sw value from glances. Anyone using it? How can I define whether the number is too large? What actions should I then take? debugging the processes causing a large number of switches, rebooting, other?
I would love to hear from experienced linux users!
in my mind, the facebook policy is limited in ways that mitigate the problems you present. the "hands off" policy (as I understand it) only applies to elected officials, meaning there is some level of inherent accountability (in significant part due to legal requirements to disclose the source of campaign ads), and a built-in limit to how 'fringe' the information will be (since an elected official, having been elected, has some amount of public support). A relatively small number of actors with established political support, who are generally under high levels of scrutiny and accountability for the things they say, ads they run, etc., are subject to the policy, not everyone.
I implemented firmware for very specialized AC motor speed and torque control that also does whole bunch of other things on a very low end microcontroller. Was implemented in C. Out of curiosity I just dug into source code and tried to imagine how it could benefit from Rust. Frankly the benefits would be none. As for safety: this firmware something like 6 years in production with just a single update. And the update was not made because of the bug. Somewhere along the way bunch of parts was ordered for new devices and wrong letter code was used. So instead of receiving 2% tolerance on part it was now 10%. As the order was expensive and not returnable I modified firmware to account for this.
I believe your understanding of MWI is close enough, but I don't think your use of "superdeterminism" is correct. Superdeterminism is an attempt to give a local explanation for seemingly-non-local quantum phenomena. MWI is a specific local explanation for quantum phenomena, so there's no reason to add in a superdeterministic explanation for non-local phenomena, because there are no non-local phenomena in MWI that need any explaining away. I think you might be slightly mixing up superdeterminism with determinism (which is compatible with MWI).
All of these (minus google domains) are to bolster their ad business.
Presumably they 1) haven't enslaved their family and 2) aren't charging them for tech support

If 1) is true then the family doesn't have to do what they say. They choose to do what they say because they value their technical expertise. Part of which is a preference for non-cloud solutions. That they don't share it seems irrelevant if they've already decided oarsinsync knows better. If they're like the average person then they probably don't value any password manager much at all beyond oarsinsync saying to use one.

If 2) is true then it's generally accepted for the free help giver to make decisions that make their life easier that they might otherwise not for a paid client. Your chef dad doesn't go to the same effort to plate food at home as they do at work. Your mechanic brother might pop a beer and ask you to hold the light while they fix something wrong with your motor. And yeah, the family computer nerd will put the free help receivers on to the same software they use so they're familiar with any problems that might occur. If oursinsync moves over to bitwarden themselves but leaves their family on 1Password and something goes wrong with 1Password in the future, what is the non self-centered move? Are they stuck relearning whatever changes 1Password has made since then? Should they refer their family to customer service?
I have had the companies reapond with everything from "yup, its another fake, we do not sell our product on amazon" to "here is the product for free because you helped us win a judgement aganst a longtime chinese counterfitting group that is one of amazons top sellers"

Its really out of hand.
Its raison d'être is largely to mitigate the issues that limited DoT's (DNS over TLS) widespread adoption, specifically "Middlebox Bypass."

Meaning if you connect to a public WiFi network, many will only allow captive DNS and block other protocols including DoT. DoH is difficult to distinguish from other HTTPS traffic and is more likely to successfully resolve (since they cannot block HTTPS and still be useful).

Therefore you've created a secure, flexible, and reliable DNS replacement with only mild technical downsides on modern hardware (a lot of the complaints are ideological or relate to specific incompatibilities with existing solutions like the lack of HOSTS file support in the initial offerings).

So I guess, everything I just said is "the point." Rather than trying to use every single possible combination of HTTP headers.
I get where you’re coming from. If I’m going to choose one VPN company to use, it won’t be one with him as CTO.

Here in Australia it's not illegal for life insurance, but they've just brought in a morutorium before deciding if they're going to keep allowing it to be legal, so that could change.
There are some GNU Makefiles that invoke `make` manually instead of `$(MAKE)`. On FreeBSD, where `make` is bmake, this is a pain in the ass.
Yes but anecdotally I think the supply is accelerating faster than demand.
How does this work with scripts? Python or Ruby script can do a lot of damage.

Or does MS prohibit all scripting languages on production systems?

I recently made the switch to Linux and I wouldn't quite agree with this. The bare minimum works, and I'm very grateful to the people volunteering to achieve that much, however my productivity has taken a big hit with no official Linux support from Logitech or Razer.

I had become very dependent on my mouse automatically changing profile depending on the process that has focus in Windows. In Linux, there is zero official or community support for that. I've had to shoehorn several profiles into one and use manual switching which is awful - first world problem, I know.

I'd warn people to expect a bad time on Linux with their peripherals, and I'd urge these vendors to pull their finger out and support Linux.
Why should we be concerned with this?

>This particular tool seems rigged to show a certain outcome, and I feel bad for folks here who are frustrated by its +1C floor on temperature rise by the end of the simulation. That (crude) part of the design was probably meant to frustrate and/or panic people into taking action.

What? No it makes you feel like the whole thing is pointless because people aren't even willing to take moderate action. If we drop everything and only focus on climate change we won't drop the temperature that much. 25% of the predicted warming has already been locked in. That's a massive loss and it won't be possible to do anything about it.
The worst thing about amazon is that it doesn't charge everyone the same price... someone connected on my home network was able to pay 15% less then me and I try to block tracking
I always assume that something free might go away or become unfree at any moment. Doesn’t seem too surprising to me.
sorry, I did not mean to make your argument into a caricature.

I'm still not sure I agree though. I know this sounds lame, but I think creating a stable life with people you really care about is worth a lot more than the memories of traveling all over the world in your youth. my parents lived well below their means for most of my childhood, and they now have a stable retirement with plenty of money to go on whatever trips they want. sometimes they take me with them. as far as I can tell, they are very happy to be able to do this now with their family rather than having the memories of doing it in their twenties.

something else kind of shitty to think about: the real return on a diversified portfolio over forty years is somewhere between 15x and 20x (unless something major changes in the world). $5k spent traveling at 25 could be $100k less when you're 65. depending how much you made later, this could be a meaningful amount you won't have to leave to your children or help them with their goals.
Wow the G604 is a really good looking mouse as far as PC mice go.
Well there’s a director in most research institute right? In FAIR/MSR they also have science managers which are top researchers themselves. At some point it’s more lucrative to have fellow researchers and supporting engineers and access to more resources. While it might not be that appealing to some people, it indeed attracted many others.

People always talk about how much they hate corporate ladders, but honestly most will happily accept a new position with a shinny title
What happened to Google's 20% time policy? I thought that was supposed to be a creative outlet.
I can give some more real world observed results.

I once worked in an industry once that wound up forcing long periods of excessive overtime. Think 60+ hour weeks for months on end. And for peanuts (16 to 22 an hour.)

The combined stress resulted in the following issues among the team:

- Employee #1 committed suicide the weekend after valentines day, (work stress led to alcoholism relapse, then everything else fell apart)

- Employee #2 wound up completely throwing out his back (i.e. could not move and had to crawl into his house) because of the bad chair ergonomics.

- Employee #4 had multiple nervous breakdowns, ruining their marriage and setting back their life years.

- Employee #5 relapsed on some bad habits involving opioids.

Of the above 4, 2 were tobacco users and their intake increased substantially during these time periods. This was true of others on the team that didn't fall into these more extreme examples.

But even in those other cases, I saw ruined marriages, slow spirals into bad habits (gambling, drinking, adult clubs, etc.) and overall years taken off peoples life from stress.

So yeah, long hours are no joke.

Edit: I skipped #3 on the list because the way they responded to stress wasn't easy to delineate. (They were however also a smoker and would increase intake under stress)

On the other hand... it's worth noting that #3, when under high workload stress, would become very judgemental, easily offended and prone to rants that would, depending on day, either belong on breitbart or buzzfeed.
