Rust doesn't compete with golang. The latter is in the same space as python. Rust competes with C++.
Because the data center operation isn’t the big problem for enterprises like DoD anymore, it’s the completely fragmented software environment they’ve struggled for decades to manage. VMware decades ago won a massive deal with DoD not for consolidating datacenters like most private sector was trying to do but to simply standardize machines to deploy.
That's what robots are for.
Correct. But what this does give you is a static publicly routable IPv4 address.

And the Fed is making money by lending money with interest to the government. Easy, immoral money.
I've always thought that the best solution for disagreement is to simply try everything and then figure out after the fact what works and what doesn't. I don't think there should just be one visual language, we don't just have one programming language and if we did you could bet it would be something terrible. The biggest hurdle is the implementation of the UI, it's hard to make it usable and a lot harder than just putting characters on lines.

In over 40 years of computing I've never heard the backslash called anything else… until today when you made me look into it.

Apparently Unicode has renamed it be "REVERSE SOLIDUS" while still tolerating "BACKSLASH" as a name for it.

I don't expect anyone to ever use the words "REVERSE SOLIDUS" in my presence.

Interesting, it entered computer use in the era of Algol so they could write their /\ and \/ operators.
Well, if you want to take that angle, then are you aware that you’re already being actively monitored by the Patriot Act, and the NSA, and a host of other unknown government programs out there? Are you complaining about these, or out there protesting against them?
Using nix, you typically build from scratch and only include binaries that are needed in the Docker container. It’s quite elegant, and uses the nix cache, too, so you aren’t dependent on order of layers

> Anecdotal: Many folks in my social circles are just less willing to accept the real responsibility of raising a child. We're all late-20-somethings/early 30-somethings and I have the conversation all the time with people who want to wait until things like careers are established, until they have a chance to seriously travel a bit, and most commonly they just want to enjoy a relationship without the stress of kids. Kids are an insanely huge responsibility, and to parent right all of your life priorities change completely.

I don't meet these people often (I'll be 30/dead in a few months). Most of the people I meet are just not interested in kids - or they already have them. The bank of mom & dad helps with that down payment so they can start pumping out children. I've had friends who gave up on children - they were satisfied being the cool aunt and uncle. I imagine the financial pressure has some influence like it does for me.

Personally - I'm at such a financial burden that I don't know when it'll happen. I quite literally cannot imagine having kids or being excited about them because I find it so hard to even get further in my career with financial prospects. Children is a complete non-starter if I don't have the income to support them. And I don't want them to ever live anything close to what I grew up with - the generational poverty line stops with me. It's not like I have a partner who could have kids right now anyway. (My significant other is about to be gone for ~2 years to finish her degree)

I can't imagine having kids when I hate my jobs so much (agonizing) and feel like I get paid peanuts (half or less than what my peers make at bigger places). So - I'll wait. No sense in having kids when I'm miserable AF because I can't get what I want or need to support them. Maybe they'll never happen. Maybe my significant other will find a new partner who has rich parents. Maybe I'll be single forever more. Whatever.
I think it's totally going to happen because China has the talent and scale to pull it off.I do think it'll be inferior to the open global tech ecosystem that benefits from open idea sharing

Psychoanalysis has changed my life for the better. I'm a much more thoughtful, compassionate, and understanding person (with myself and others) than I was when I started. For all the bad rep Freud/analysis gets, theres something deeply right about it, and I think many many people could benefit from it if only they could find their way to giving it an earnest and extended try.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Based on this and tptacek's comment,[0] I will likely remove the ability to disable randomizing the IV in future versions. Luckily, this will not break any encrypted links generated thus far.

Unless I am misunderstanding your comment, I do actually use TextEncoder and TextDecoder objects for doing some ascii <-> Uint8Array conversion in the base64 library I wrote,[1] but I have found that they are not actually inverses, leading me to minimize their use. To be fair, I may just be doing something incorrectly. However, in a number of my test cases, I have found the following to be true:

(new TextDecoder).decode((new TextEncoder).encode(someText)) != someText

Also, note that if the base64 decoding fails, there will be an error shown explaining that the encoded URL appears corrupted. Does this address what you mean about the password being transformed to bytes via base64?

> Many coping methodologies have been described here, and the role of religion and spirituality has been scientifically studied to (in the general case) help with depression [1]

That's what "therapy" ultimately is. It's a religion. Instead of going to church once a week, you see a therapist one or more times a week.

Look at the top comment advocating for therapy. It's filled with religious allusions - "taking that leap of faith into therapy", "and therapy is about creating a facilitative environment to alter that conception of self", "In therapy, you are unconditionally accepted with positive regard,", etc.

Everything in the top comment is familiar to anyone who was raised a christian. Therapists just took the place of confidants like priests, pastors, etc as christianity/religion decline. The way the "converted" talk about therapy is eerily similar to those who find faith or are born again. But whatever your "faith", there is no doubt that "faith" helps alleviate depression. Whether there is a real neurological reason or whether it is a placebo effect or entirely something else is TBD.
The physical one sure, but Android has a system UI bar at the bottom (iff there aren't physical equivalents, which as you say there mostly aren't now) with back, home, and app switching buttons.

I've been trying iOS for the last couple of months, and especially initially that back button was one of my most missed features; it still annoys me, I've just stopped expecting it.
Cessna 172 is one of the cheapest, simplest planes you can buy... a 10 year old used 172S is $150,000++ however.

With fewer and fewer planes being made, the remaining planes continue to get more and more expensive. The world of general aviation shrinks each year, and as such the prices continue to climb.

Fortunately, there are a number of clubs where people pool their money into collective ownership of airplanes. Its roughly $150/flight hour (more or less, depending on the club's equipment of course). If I were to ever go into GA, I'd probably start with a club to get my earlier licenses.

$15,000 and a few months would be all you need to get your pilot's license and start flying (including the price of flight instructors / ground schools). Overall, cheaper than I expected. You wouldn't want to go into this hobby thinking you'd save money... at best you save time inside of a certain range (Cessna only cruise at 160mph, while commercial airlines cruise at 500mph. As such, GA flights need to be within 2 or 3 hours (or ~1 hour commercial flight) to even save time).
When I did PHP, I did my own frameworks too.

PHP had a strong re-invent culture, probably because it didn't have a package manager back in the days.

When I started with Node.js and NPM I often just installed something well known.

A few years ago I had the feeling things would get a bit out of hand, so I only installed packages I couldn't code myself, because the lack of domain knowledge or time.
Yeah, it was a last-minute title change that I now regret.
The standard defenses of the ability to be rich are persuasive arguments promulgated by those who are rich.

If we assume that the rich are, as other advertisers, rational and self-interested, the we should expect their messaging (i.e., the “standard defenses”) to be that which is most effective.

Something akin to if it works, it ships.

Consider that from the perspective of the accountants, every job created is a huge and ongoing liability and cost, and that from the perspective of the shareholders, every job created is stolen profit, money that is not returned in the form of equity appreciation + dividends.

Then you will begin to see the reality of the situation.

> not having all the characters needed for English

I've heard this argument a few times, and each time it's just as contrived, particularly if you stick to American English. While I'm happy to acknowledge it's not good enough for other languages, ASCII is plenty good for English. Unless you're trying to type cafe with an accented e to be fancy or type that old conjoined-ae character, ASCII is fine for everyday usage. See the fact that most Americans have never installed a separate keyboard layout.
I'm pretty sure I saw this somewhere in one of the other marketing automation tools but yes it's definitely not common.

Kind of related, I saw a webinar by Ontraport recently and they were going a step further by saving google analytics IDs against contacts for deep funnel conversion tracking. The idea is they don't really care about who signs up for a free trial, they want to know who upgrades to paid within the trial period and usually the attribution is all messed up by then or they don't know who is who. So saving details and manually calling google will help to track this.

It seems there are still a lot of little tricks out there that aren't standard practice.

> Democracy naturally leads to competent and benevolent government

That hasn't been an American value for quite awhile, assuming it ever was.[1] Thus Reagan's famous quote: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help'.

[1] I'm willing to accept that it was for relatively brief but important periods, such as the 2-3 decades after WWII. The U.S. would still be a backwater were it not for moments where pragmatism and a shared sense of responsibility trumped cynicism and a reflexive fear of authority.
An economy is driven by free money.
> who cares, if it is not used in U.S. right?

This isn't intended to sound rude, but why should an American care? Dismissing the argument that for better or worse many people hold doesn't do any good. Making it might convince them otherwise.

I think that for some the correct alias was already in use for another character, like with the digrams.
The implementation of the UI could be made generic. Make a UI that allows for playing with boxes and arrows in the usual visual-language-y way, and ultimately outputs a serialized, optimized representation that can be fed to a compiler-like pass. Then the semantics, and the pre-defined components to go with it, can be defined separately.
I'm talking about popular frameworks like Django and Rails. Quite the opposite.
The problem is the same is true about 2-seaters, except they only really seat 1. :)

I have a '78 172 w/ 180HP STC, and I think it's a pretty good sweet spot. You can take a friend, a ton of bags, full fuel on long range tanks, and still climb easy on a humid day. You can also travel light, dial back the throttle and cruise around at 5.5GPH, making it similar in cost to operate to a 152 (still a 2000 vs 2400 TBO though).

Your main point is well-taken: you definitely pay a performance-per-dollar premium for using the world's most popular training platform. But you also get some benefits: the most familiar and one of the most forgiving airframes ever made; a platform that every A&P knows inside and out and every supplier stocks parts for; and a plane that can very easily get in and out of any strip you can spot.

Or something like that; fiber from the dark side, darth vader fiber etc. Then I try to coyly explain it. But it just always crack me up how many people, especially people who should know, what DF is. It's a goofy joke I know but most people chuckle about it once they understand what it is.
isn't minification good enough at obfuscating the code? what does CommonJS add here?

(that's a legit question – i've sifted through webpacked JS a few times, and it mostly just added a bunch of

(function(module, require, ...) {
<your module here>
})(...)

around the code. tedious to read, but not much in the way obfuscation)

and i guess if ES Modules turned out to be more performant (bc the module stuff is handled by native browser code, or maybe some HTTP/2 magic with loading), that could be an incentive for adoption

It's not done that way.

If you install Nix on Linux or OS X, you just have packages installed but configuration (if any) you have to edit manually like you would in another Linux distro.

If you use NixOS in addition to packages it also uses modules. Modules take care of setting up services, adding users/groups etc and placing the configuration in right place. You use module configuration to configure the application, and Nix generates actual config.

Here[1] is example of how PostgreSQL is configured.

> How many of the current US Senators and Representatives went to Ivy League schools? I'm not going to do the research to answer that, but I bet it's at least the majority, and probably the overwhelming majority.

You would lose your bet, especially in the House of Representatives, where less than one in six went to an Ivy League school. Just take a look at the Education column in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the...

Among current Senators, I find that 29 = 12 (R) + 16 (D) + 1 (I) went to Ivy League Schools and 71 = 41 (R) + 29 (D) + 1 (I) didn't. Only one person in the leadership of the majority party (10 people, including the president of the Senate--himself not a Senator) went to an Ivy League school. Leadership is indicated by an ﹡ below.

Ivy: (R) Braun, Cotton, Crapo﹡, Cruz, Hawley, Hoeven, McSally, Portman, Romney, Sasse, Sullivan, Toomey, (D) Bennet, Blumenthal, Booker, Brown, Coons, Gillibrand, Hassan, Kaine, Klobuchar﹡, Merkley﹡, Reed, Schumer﹡, Smith, Van Hollen, Warner﹡, Whitehouse, (I) King

Not Ivy: (R) Alexander, Barrasso﹡, Blackburn, Blunt﹡, Boozman, Burr, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Cramer, Daines, Enzi, Ernst﹡, Fischer, Gardner, Graham, Grassley﹡, Hyde-Smith, Inhofe, Johnson, Kennedy, Lankford, Lee﹡, Loeffler, McConnell﹡, Moran, Murkowski, Paul, Perdue, Risch, Roberts, Rounds, Rubio, R.

They left some out:

- Monitor room light level for fluctuations that correspond to advertising broadcasts for advertising proximity fingerprinting, or location fingerprinting, ie: the illuminance profile for a video broadcast is moderately unique, and can identify the fact that it's playing on a screen near the user

- Side channel for data exfiltration attacks (we require permission to use the microphone for more reasons than just listening for people talking)

- Monitoring for in/out of pocket/purse state for the phone

- Probably a ton of other nefarious stuff that I am not devious enough to think of.
> SILHOUETTE OF JAPAN

This may sound pedantic, but Japan the island or Japan the nation? It seems to refer to the island(s). On the other hand, the "farsi symbol" is of a particular nation rather than a given set of boundaries. Nations can be renamed, but the island of Japan refers to the chunk of earth. Add to that that nations get redrawn every so often in the middle east and I can understand the position.
Interestingly, sshd WILL magically know to look at /nix/store/efgh5678-my-sshd-config-2.0/etc/ssh_config. Usually you would use sshd as a systemd service (possible to do and manage with Nix in Ubuntu, but why would you?). If so, you would write the systemd configuration using Nix and the service file deployed to NixOS (or Ubuntu, imagine deploying some custom/proprietary service you want isolated from whatever else the client has on the machine) would have all the long hashes auto-magically inserted to produce this (this is on my machine, all i had to write was "services.openssh.enable = true;" but additional configuration is available, see https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#services.openssh.):

> We don't throw anyone in jail for being suicidal. We don't throw people into psych hospitals unless they're at imminent risk of successfully committing suicide - we don't do admits just for suicidal ideation.

Who is this "we" you think you speak for? You may be right about what people are supposed to do, but people, even professional therapists aren't perfect. It all depends on the individual therapist, how they interpret what they've been taught, what you say to them, and how worried they are that if they don't do something you may commit suicide, and how that will look on them.

Some are very self centered just as everyone else, simply wanting more and more patients to earn a paycheck, so they will drudge up whatever they can to make you feel miserable, and get you hooked on psych drugs, all to try and get you to keep seeing them.

> Please reach out to a professional & get help. You'll be shocked how much better you can feel in just a few months.

I'd say don't do this. I've tried several therapists, one for over a year, and each session inevitably became a bout of very depressing intense navel staring.

I felt a lot better after getting away from all the self-help crap and developed interest in things outside of myself.

You're being paranoid. Suggestions like that come up when you misspell something, so that's probably what happened.
I don’t think GA is shrinking so much as it’s segmented so hobbyists do ultralight aviation such as powered paragliding, used aircraft cover most of the classic GA side of things, and new aircraft are for people or companies with money to burn. On top of this, drones and satellite’s are filling in for some stuff at the margins.

PS: A new set of paragliding equipment runs 10-15k, but it’s more like a jet pack than a traditional aircraft.
In my opinion, the "sad waste" has nothing to do with CPU clock cycles and everything to do with the uncountable hours humans have spent trying to make javascript tolerable. If we had bytecode from the start, it would have enabled a huge reduction in human labor.

I could trust softlimit all right, but my point was that I wouldn't trust users to wield it correctly.
The downside is that the approach works best when packages are aware of the Nix approach. But the packages have not been written with Nix in mind, and some work is needed per package to adapt to the approach.
