>Somehow the fact that the soviets and maoist killed more people each than "europeans" (this is quite the american generalisation) is forgotten, as are japanese atrocities, as are cambodian ones. Also no one seems to talk about the middle east being the centre of the world wide slave trade for a very long time, as opposed to Europeans being at fault for all of it.

Until quite recently it was accepted belief in Europe that people from (approximately) east of the Oder and/or south of Constantinople were inferior. "Savages behaving like savages" was generally not paid much attention to (the exceptions being mostly when building a narrative to support conquest and/or religious conversion) by historians and writers because it was written off as them not knowing better. Smart, proper Europeans who should know better killing each other? Well that just can't stand. Even today you still see a lot of this in how events in "less civilized" parts of the world are discussed in the first world.

It'll take a couple of centuries for all the spoken and unspoken prejudices of the people who recorded events and studied history in centuries past to filter out.
That's a shame. I'm trying to not use Amazon, Google or Microsoft, so this means their solution probably won't work for me. Silly really.

The Rust playground is one of the many great things about Rust.

It's really helpful to share code and try concepts. The mere existence of the playground is a catalyst to reduce and refine problems before airing them to get help from the wider community.

Furthermore it's well integrated with the Rust community forums. The share button functionality is brilliant.

A minor quibble: its state management is not particularly intuitive. There's no notion of "save" or "branch" or versions as in Gists, for example. If there is, I haven't found it. The playground URL appears to be a hash of its contents? That's my guess. Does anybody know?
Thanks for clarifying for me. Updated my post.
It's very hard to avoid getting bombarded by this. You would have to completely avoid processing any information stream. Taht would still leave you with all the events and initiatives in the office. I don't really see why I should stick a pride flag on my desk and it is frowned upon if I don't. It's not a matter of therapy. I'm perfectly fine, there is a problem with people pushing politics down your throat even if you already accepted it. I cannot even imagine how people that have different opinions handle it.

Location hiding

An onion service's IP address is protected. Onion services are an overlay network on top of TCP/IP, so in some sense IP addresses are not even meaningful to onion services: they are not even used in the protocol.

End-to-end authentication

When a user visits a particular onion, they know that the content they are seeing can only come from that particular onion. No impersonation is possible, which is generally not the case. Usually, reaching a website does not mean that a man-in-the-middle did not reroute to some other location (e.g. DNS attacks).

End-to-end encryption

Onion service traffic is encrypted from the client to the onion host. This is like getting strong SSL/HTTPS for free.

From here: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/overview/

And there's another good reason for the Tor network: if you run an onion service, the traffic will use only Tor non-exit nodes in the circuit, giving a relief to the exit nodes.
What could possibly go wrong with that?

I've had delivery takeaways in British towns and cities for 2 decades, well before the likes of ubereats and deliveroo.

Those companies do their own deliveries and manage to make enough money to not even charge more for delivery (or offer a collection discount) - although usually a minimum cost of say £20.

Why can't VC companies do it that efficently?
The whole maintainers and forks thingy between Decentraleyes and LocalCDN seems so strange to me that I'm left with more suspicious about which should I use, if I ever should use any given their both behavior regarding the forks.

Why not enforce regulations that prevent bad actors from pursing anti-competitive behavior? It's harder, and much less flashier than mandating a cap, but it retains much more of the free market integrity. Pricing is a genuinely hard problem, and mandating it from above is an exercise in pure folly.
This kind of categorising I've always found to be orthoganal to what should really be the measure of "does it deserve a [unit] test?" . I believe the correct way to assess how much (if any) automated testing at whatever level is decided only by how valuable that thing, and the inverse of the impact of that thing going wrong, is.

If you are writing on one shot script to transmute data from one format to another for say an upgrade, I don't care if you have unit tests if I am confident it has been manually tested to satisfaction. No repeatability, no regression requirement. There could and likely is value in TDD so tests might still be a thing if that is how you work. No objection there.

If you are developing the plumbing code that will ensure my system adheres to financial regulations and, if it were to break, land me in jail for negligence, you can be damn sure I'm demanding a test that will be run everytime that system is built/deployed.

I wrote unit tests >10 years ago for formatting a string for postal codes that I know are still run to this day on every commit because if they get it wrong there is legal recourse for the company that owns that system.

It's also super quick to fix and failing at build is quicker and cheaper than failing in prod, even without the recourse. That test took me all of 1 minute to write. Bargain.

The team itself described the stabilization of async/await as being in an "MVP" state. Stuff that's been fixed since then:

* error messages (I think there may be more to do, but they're better and better all the time)

* size of tasks (Still more to do, but they've shrunk a lot since it was first implemented

* async/await on no_std (initial implementation used TLS to manage some state, that's since been fixed)

Stuff still to do:

* Async functions in traits (this has a library that lets you work around this with one allocation, having this requires GATs)

* More improvements to the stuff above

* other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting

When I removed snapd from Ubuntu, all installed snaps and their mount points still remained. Then I reinstalled snapd to remove the snaps. I could not find a command to force remove a snap if other snaps depend on it. So I had to delete each snap one by one manually, taking care of dependency tree.
I'd like to see this rule applied only if the delivery provider insists that the menu prices be the same with or without delivery.

Personally I think a provider of any 'value add' service being able to dictate the price without their service is insane.
The issue is that there is a race to the bottom in terms of price. Effectively chasing margins in an already margin squeezed industry.

If you think about what a food delivery platform is doing - they are trying to service convenience for customers - they need to deliver on speed at the lowest cost possible. How do you do this when your task is labour intensive and there are few barriers to competitors? You’ve got to drive price down.

Likely there will be a period of consolidation until one service rules a region and then maybe a slow grind back up to profit.
One of the more genius (and nefarious) moves American industry has made is to switch the narrative on environmentalism from large organizations (corporations, the government, etc.) as polluters to individuals.[1]

Can individuals impact the environmental crisis? Sure, in aggregate. But the biggest gains come from focusing on the largest groups. They have the biggest proportional impact on the environment.

Did the steak I ate last night contribute to global warming? Sure did.

Did that steak contribute more pollution than the entire fleets of naval ships we keep deployed across the globe to 'project power'? Hardly.

Did my steak contribute more pollution than the tanks and next generation fighters the US keeps ordering and building (and which have little place in today's environment of asymmetric warfare)? Nope.

We can talk about personal responsibility and organizational responsibility for pollution at the same time. And solving the issue of organizational pollution will have a much quicker and longer-lasting effect on the environment than pushing people to stop eating so much meat.

It's a cap on what the delivery company can charge the restaurant, not including what they charge the person doing the actual order.
On one of my deployments overseas in the mid-2000’s I was on a search and rescue team in Iraq for a few months.

Every night we’d support teams running missions by getting onto helicopters and getting comfortable for the night.

The pilots would spin up the bird and not take off. The blades would literally spin all night long, to the point where we’d need to refuel once or twice(more of actually flew somewhere).

Night after night SAR teams around the country were doing the same, for over a decade.

The reason why they’d spin up the bird at sundown: these helicopters always had mechanical issues and if you shut it down there was a significant chance the helicopter wouldn’t start back up when you needed it.

That’s just one data point in the entire US military but I could think of a dozen others offhand.
The Rise of the Fitness Creator

True. However, the same strategy - "Focus on alternate sources of lead generation" can be applied for applications on Android (and presumably other platforms) where 3rd-party app repositories and sideloading are supported.

Atmospheric CO2 levels rise sharply despite Covid-19 lockdowns
That's not what this is...? It's a cap on the commissions UberEats/Doordash/whatever can charge on an order. To, hopefully, prevent the commission structure from causing places to lose money on orders ($10 order with 20% Doordash; costs the restaurant $8.50; Doordash charges $2 commission; restaurant loses $.50 on the order)
It caps the fee that the delivery service can take.

You can still tip the delivery person as much as you like.
Let me do that for you :)
I believe so in some areas, but only because they are using kitchens/ingredients that cost less than restaurants or stores, IE located in bad areas, conditions/treatment worse for cooks, payment less for cooks, etc. Not something that should be supported but something that technology unfortunately makes possible and convenient
They probably didn't want to repeat the Digg failure (new design led a lot of power users to abandon the platform and move to Reddit).

I'm sure they'll force it on everyone once the new design is tweaked and/or becomes more popular (I see new users don't care or don't know about the old design).
Depends on what kind of software you are building. If you are a 5 man team trying to move very fast and deliver new features, I think rigorous unit testing can take enough time that it won't be worth the effort but if you are working on something with a couple dozen other developers where no one person might be able to fit the whole system in their head, I think unit testing is invaluable. A few days ago I saw another HN post that discounted testing as well stating that you already need to know what to test in order to verify the behavior but that is not even the purpose of tests in large projects maintained by large teams. Tests serve two purposes in such projects. They act as internal documentation for contributors that is far easier to keep up to data as it complains loudly when it fails and they detect breaking that would otherwise go completely unnoticed and end up shipping. This is invaluable for large projects and software that is shipped to be installed like libraries and installable binaries. If you are writing a service that you deploy in your own environment to serve some API requests then sure, too much tests will have diminishing returns.
So as I understand it Deliveroo and Uber eats charge 25% of the food costs, plus delivery fees on top.

Uber eats I know is losing money and Deliveroo are losing a few hundred million per year on revenues of about $500m. Basically cutting the food percentage like this to 10% would imply delivery services are permanently unprofitable?

Why have all these restaurants signed up if 25% is so unfair?
Surprising. I didn't know this construct and I would naturally assume that the else part would execute if the loop never spun (because the list/etc was empty)
A company might not do a dividends or buybacks now, but if they are successful they are likely to do so eventually, and that expectancy is worth something just the same.
Exactly.

The author's tests are overly complex. Instead of gleaning the actual value of this insight, which is that you're not cleanly separating your inputs and your outputs, the author concludes that unit tests are a waste of time.

Nope. Unit tests are a tool, but writing proper unit tests and understanding the value they give you is an art and a science. It requires experience and deliberate design.
AFAIK, CloudHealth is mostly about cost management and analytics. Usage takes it a step further and also shows recommendations.

I would be interested in hearing about your experience with cost optimization. My email is kaveh@usage.ai if you'd like to reach out.
Completely off topic, but I'm a front end developer who dabbles with a range of languages and also enjoys trying out new languages, but I've never really used a 'back-end' language and I've been trying to find one that works for me.

> Author chooses to show a particular political bias again and fails to mention the other major event that caused a uptick in cases (nationwide protests)

So far the data says otherwise. It seems to be a combination of three things that made spreading at the protests low.

1. They were open air events where people were moving around a lot,

2. A large percentage of attendees were wearing masks, and

3. Not many attendees were infected.

Health officials did heavy testing at several of the protests or of people shortly after they attended. In Minneapolis 1.8% were positive. Seattle was less than 1%. Boston was 1.1%.

If you encountered an infected person at a protest, #1 alone greatly reduced your chances of being around that person long enough to get an infectious dose unless they actually were coughing or sneezing on you.

Then you've got the masks making it even less likely.

With only 1-2% infected, you probably won't encounter enough infected people serially for all the little exposures to add up.

Because pure Debian never worked with my wifi drivers, and Ubuntu didn't come with video codecs and other small lifestyle tweaks by default. If Debian came with those OOTB -- and they won't, since some of those codec ain't FOSS -- then I'd agree with you.

In fact at it's imperial height, Vienna had a higher population than today(2.1M then 1.9M now), living in significantly less space. The living conditions of the poorer part of the city were pretty grim. This is what got the Social Democrats to gain power in the first place.

People are normally at least discouraged to talk about what they did at a previous employer at any level of detail; there might even be NDAs involved. So, when you don’t explicitly ask candidates about their personal life, but ask them to “tell stories”, what do you expect them to talk about?

Employers seem to be entirely ignorant of the power relationship in job interviews; interviewers all want to talk to the candidates like a peer, even though this is not at all appropriate.
I guess it’s more that low effort content became popular. I say this as someone who loved f7u12. But I realized over time that it became a game of “how do I make enough references for the front page?” and then, as always, dog whistles. DAE and advice animals were notorious for the latter.
LOL. I guess I was being a bit conservative with that estimate!

I've worked for myself as well and know what you mean. In my situation, I was able to save myself from testing by telling my customers "this is a prototype so expect some issues".
A lot of articles that start with a personifying narrative return to that narrative by the end. This article never did, so I guess I will never know what happened to the poor lobster that had to flee his home.
Majority of the ISP's provide dynamic IP these days and getting static ip costs significantly more money. If you have a low compute device like raspberry pi running 24/7 which controls all the home network, then connecting(ssh) to it over internet requires static ip. The other alternative which does not cost money is setting up tor(which is pretty simple) and ssh socks proxy on the client machines. This use case is pretty common which does not involve privacy but very useful.
I don't quite understand why someone would use this instead of @general. Just to make it sound more personal?

IMO regulation should be there to protect the smaller 'people' (small family businesses, or actual people) from abuse by larger entities, or to encourage socially beneficial change (which usually tends to benefit the smaller players anyway).
