I wouldn't call Rust an advanced language. It has some functional-inspired features (everything is an expression, ADTs, composition/pipes with iterators), but the language's raison d'etre is zero-cost abstractions, and many of the features of Haskell and the like require a GC and costly runtime checks. See this post on why Rust doesn't have functors, monads, and the like:

Disgusting comment. A person is genuinely invested and passionate about privacy (and we know Apple’s stance on privacy, from Steve Jobs, to their stance with FBI, privacy tsars, keeping data on the phone, Secure Enclave, etc) and you call their work garbage.

As always, it's not the ads most of us object to- it's the trackers. Google's original idea for monetizing the web, that you would be interested in something related to what you were searching for, apparently failed and now everybody's trying to follow you around to see what you might be interested in purchasing.

It needs to stop.

I know it's a lame solution but I use ff and containers and have a "shopping" container for sites that I don't block trackers on. I also have various other containers for other sites I don't mind knowing about each other. But mostly I block them.

This is what we are concerned with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid#/media/File:Un... Not all of those lines are equally at risk, but for the sake of argument assume everything over 200KV is gone.

400kV is not directly stepped down to 33kV there are generally intermediaries at 132kV and or 66kV. So if you can send 132kV or even 66kV much of the equipment can be used.

Getting enough power to operate refrigeration and stop lights is a big deal. If you can only send 20% of normal power across those lines then that’s what you’re stuck with. In places such as Hawaii, local generation is close enough that your it’s no big deal, in others you may end up with rolling blackouts or charging 1+$/kWh.

Oh okay - thank you for answering.
That does not justify an irrelevant answer.
If something it not understood then questions should be asked.
> No ECC, though.

Is ECC useful for a workstation? I thought it was useful for shared servers (VM hosts) to protect against rowhammer & co, but does is have other uses?
Does it outperform the fastest x64 chips? I presume it was far more expensive?

I like the idea of a POWER9 desktop machine, but I don't see the pricepoint ever getting to the point where I'd seriously consider one.
I want to believe that a bunch of us already had and got over Covid, I really do. I am in northeastern USA and a lot of people around me had this "unusually bad" flu this year. Coworkers, kids, me and family - took us a month to get over it. But, that would mean the disease was super widespread and we couldn't call that period "early on". Based on anecdata and Bayes it means a lot of people had it already in Feb, as many as during peak flu season.

This is why I believe it's just a bad flu after all - the spread pattern matches the usual seasonal flu/cold; and we would have noticed an elevated mortality.

That makes this all much more suspicious. Given the shadiness of Palantir, I have to wonder what they are hoping to get out of this.
I accept it mentions that in the content, I guess its the title I find misleading. You can see on this very HN thread, lots of confused replies are falsely equating those features as new developments.

My simple point is that PHP has been "mature", in OOP terms anyway, for at least 10 years now, so the original author tying that milestone to PHP 7.4 seems weird and outdated to me.
Very true. Watching the first 4 hours of MTV had quite a few snoozers TBH. There are still great things being made and if we are willing to cherry pick there have been great things made in every musical era.
> If you carry such a phone you already trust them.

I don't. But not because I think my dumbphone isn't also basically a mic I carry around, but because mobile devices are a joke, one and all. It's like moving back to communicating with infant sounds after I learned how to walk, form sentences and use tools -- why would I? Because so many people do, that they already assume everybody does?

I don't need e.g. Whatsapp to stay in contact with people I care about and who care about me, if I was only reachable by mail they'd send me letters. Anyone incapable of that I would surely dislike for dozens of other reasons already, so the question of "how to stay in contact even though I don't have a smartphone" literally didn't come up once since Apple "changed the world" in 2007, heh.

This stuff is just a very recent blip in our evolution as a species, and the phase we're in is about as impressive as the lies people told each other once they invented writing. It too shall pass.

One of the advantages is teaching people how to code. In it's early days of development, Sam worked with a CS teacher to investigate ways making music with code could help children to learn some computing fundamentals.

We still use it to teach about code and computer science. Last week we released two videos, both using Sonic Pi.

There’s probably some truth in the idea that the students who focus obsessively on getting good grades, to the exclusion of building social connections, doing internships, etc. are less successful in a traditional career sense.

A star like Sun is in a state of an equilibrium between gravitational forces that want to collapse the star and the fusion energy. Gravitational pressure helps atoms to collide and fusion takes place. But it doesn't sound right to say that the heat is from the pressure.

Once the fusion energy isn't enough to counteract the gravity, the star collapses into a white dwarf (or a super-nova later).

"Worse is better" is a myth - it all depends of your definition of better.

The reason why Unix and Python win is simplicity. For many people simple == better.

Software is so easy to create and
mold that many get trapped in excess complexity. Not being able to write complex software on a platform such as Unix or Python is therefore a feature, not a bug. It prevents you from ever getting trapped in the wet sands of complexity.

If there is a silver bullet in software engineering it is simplicity - and aggressive pursuit thereof.
A series of small changes gives consumers time to react and the value of the brand to naturally evolve, so arguably that's not a problem.
I assume that you got hit by the issue that was present in the early 1st gen Ryzen CPU-s. It did get resolved later on and AMD started a replacement program to address that particular issue.
Well, it may move the most riders, but if it has more trains the cars may not end up as crowded. OK way into nitpicking territory now :)

Correct - and it was the same in the US. Strong flu season. ...and tests confirmed that it was the "regular" seasonal flu - not covid-19.

People want to believe that covid-19 has already worked its way through the entire community because they want to believe that this is almost over.

The data does not support that position.
Just the same, if execution was easy, everyone would be doing it.

A well-played execution process has iteration and refinement baked into it. Few ideas are born fully grown. They evolve; provided they are allowed to do so. That evolution is part of execution.

And the helium that can be "seen" on the Sun is not due to fusion IN the Sun, but rather is from the gas cloud from which the Sun formed. The solar core and the surface are not connected by convection.

Back when I had a cubicle, I had a second chair and a white board in my cube, and people would come for a visit when they wanted to talk about something, and we'd draw on the whiteboard, and we were social and bouncing ideas off each other. Now, I'm in an open floor plan office, and when the guy who sits literally next to me wants to talk to me, he sends me something over slack. I think people don't want to disturb each other in an open floor plan office, so they rely on these IM tools more? I don't know, but I know it's way, way less social now than it was when I had my cube.
In regard to the display: Yes, those marks come from the keys pressing against the display. Be careful how much you fill in your backpack with the MBP. My display looks very bad around the space bar (that is the 2018 "improved display"). Noticed that way too late. An Apple Genius recommended me to always have a microfiber cloth between display and keyboard when traveling. Not on a $3000 device thanks.

Heating/fan issues, double typing keys, too many "-gates" to count. I never had so much buyers regret.
A good dogma I think fits roughly in the same category as your opinion is a quote from Alan Perlis:

“A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.”
> When you can't query your DB, you hit your resident memory cache. Redis, Memcached, etc.

You would query those first surely, before loading the DB? Regardless, I've been using Redis and Memcache for years from PHP, so mute point.

> I use multiple threads in a single request flow frequently.

So how do you track those? And for how long do they live after the parent request has been processed, or do they block the parent? Gets complicated quickly.

> It's ugly and inconsistent, takes time to memorize, and leads to errors.

Rasmus will admit the same, but he will also admit he does not care (I've seen him say this during a talk). Nobody bought your product because it had beautiful, consistent code.

> This limits you to writing basic CRUD. And so many other languages offer this.

99.9% of web apps are CRUD.
It does, and using PHP in strict mode, in combination with tools like phpstan is what led me to looking for a language that is even better in that regard.

If PHP hadn't made advances in it's type system with the 7.x series, I probably would not have stuck with it this long.

However, while PHP the language supports strict typing, it does it at run time (inherently a limitation of scripted languages, I know), rather than compile time.
> My problem is I don’t like or agree with the people picking the targets, but that’s a whole other argument.

People pretend they can't possibly know how things will get used, but this has never been true, and never been less true than today.

Alteast you can host your own gitlab.

This hasn't been true since the 2015 models, the USB-C era will turn fans on at the drop of a hat.
A problem which I see is that geolocating IPs of servers gives no real value anymore.
Thru CDNs the real host is obfuscated.
Services may distribute data in the backend.
So the geolocating might lead unaware users to wrong conclusion like e.g. that the data is stored in a country with strong privacy standards. But in reality, just the load balancer might be in such a country.

I think it might be an interesting direction for your project to query the WHOIS data of that IP.
With these data you can show in which data center the first erver is hosted.
This will show to the useres the large share of pages hosted just at a few hyperscalers.

Interesting. Everyone seems so sure that DP-3T (the protocol that Google and Apple are adopting for their API) will work sufficiently well that the use of the PEPP/ROBERT protocol which is being used by NHSX, the French, and the Italians will be unnecessary. Since DP-3T discloses less information about your social graph to the central party (although in some edge cases more about your social graph to everyone in the network) this would mean that DP-3T is superior.

Clearly if they both work well, then the one that discloses less data is better.

It is important that we maintain context here: these are both "minimally disclosive" protocols which were designed to transmit as little information as possible while being effective tools. Compare this with the absolutely pervasive tracking being done in South Korea and other places. The difference is that NHSX and the designers of PEEP/ROBERT thinks that a higher level of disclosure is required than DP-3T to be effective. At the moment, we do not know if either of these will work, so it's not the case that we can say: "they both work, therefore only a surveillance state would pick the one that discloses more information". It is a balance and that will always lead to different people making different decisions.

I suspect we will know this week whether the app as currently setup will work from the IoW trials. If it doesn't work, kills the battery, etc. then I hope NHSX has a DP-3T alternative in the background. Given current levels of infection in the UK, this will become important in the last week of May onwards for releasing lockdown measures so they have a few weeks to get a solution that works.

Was the “in Rust” part mandatory? ;)

On HN I still don't know if it's an easy way to get upvotes, or the best way to get down-voted hell.
It's suberb for experimenting with ideas quickly, and serendipitous discovery. The speed at which you can transform an existing idea into a new one can be very inspiring.

Or you can fall down a rabbit hole and end up programming forever without making real music again (what happened to me).
You're entirely missing the point by focusing on why someone may or may not have used the wrong words - with an application written in many other languages, you have to do something special to be able to update some server-side code and have that new code be run when you next hit the server.
There's a lot of truth in this post... however I would add a step to David Megginson's "programming language cycle":

5a. Some of the regular developers resent a new language being forced upon them, so the public opinion on the language becomes more negative.

I would say Go is currently already in phase 5a/6, while Rust is still in 3/4 - however I have to add that I think both languages are here to stay, so there's more to them than just the hype...

The key is not the liquid core, but the convective mantle. The mantle is solid, but still convects by plastic deformation. It was this ignoring of solid deformation that got Kelvin in trouble. He reasoned that since the mantle transmits shear waves, it cannot be liquid, and (hence, incorrectly) cannot convect. This despite clear evidence from geology that hot rocks under strain can become highly deformed.
