The hate is not towards every language that is Rust, it's against C, at least in this thread.

> Much worse though, and not mentioned, is that the high-pressure spray used in water-limited toilets has been proven to launch fecal matter up into the air.

Residential toilets have a lid to prevent that, and have since before water-restricted designs were common, because all toilets do that (public restroom ones often don't have lids, but then they usually are in stalls well separated from anything else and no one sane keeps toothbrushes exposed in a public restroom.)

I think the intelligence community made a bit of a joke of themselves honestly. Especially on the topic of electoral manipulation. They deserve it.

Although there was large political influence, it really doesn't shine a good light on them and their capabilities or more probable what they make of them.

That said, I think restricting their abilities is the way forward, otherwise you just get a new form of a cold war, which in hindsight was just stupid. Their current capabilities cannot be justified with security concerns and if so, they should at least be able to fix the IT of prominent political actors.

They scared the right people to get privileges to data that is formally protected in most western countries. So not only do they do a bad job, they are also criminals.

I don't know what you mean by that. I live in Germany, I used the normal report button, I haven't picked anything special.

In any case, given my experience, I will definitely not use that feature anymore, it's too much effort to just report something that should not be on the platform. The fact that the report button is available and easy to find isn't enough for the platform to self regulate if the rest of the process is broken.
I don't now about the 3080 but in my country the 2080 TI costs as much as 7 XBoxes. I'm a die-hard PC gamer and it will probably always be my platform of choice, but it's not because of $3,000 GPUs.

Aviation professionals let go during the pandemic
Commercial aviation is a tightly knit community of people, thriving on collaboration, knowledge sharing and operational excellence.

When COVID-19 hit -- and it hit hard -- leaders had to make tough decisions to let people go in order to ensure their organisations' survival. Despite these tough actions, the community not only lives on but is getting stronger by the day, becoming ever more important.

We are announcing the launch of We Work In Aviation -- a directory and community of aviation professionals that literally moved aviation before they were let go. We want to see them do it again when the industry comes calling -- because it will, it is only a matter of time.

Anyone who worked in aviation and was let go recently is invited to register for free, to increase their chances of being found by new employers.

This is always the same because console graphics hardware has, for many generations, been based on desktop graphics hardware, and not the top of the line stuff either which is the premise of this article.

Also a lot of people want or need a desktop anyway, so the cost of that gaming rig isn't really the ticket price, it's the extra cost of it over an otherwise adequate desktop system. If the premium of an average gaming rig is say $500 for a CPU upgrade and decent GPU, over what that person was probably going to get anyway, well that's price competitive with the PS 5.

The current price of those high end cards is hardly a major issue, even most hardcore gamers cant afford them, but in 3 years, in the middle of the PS 5 life cycle, they'll be much more affordable.
I very much agree that many people use rules like these as excuses to write shitty code.

From the post you linked though:

> Not reserving space in a vector when the size is known

std::vector::reserve() is actually not something you should always use when you are adding a number of elements as it will (typically) grow the vector to exactly what you ask. If your function then gets called in a loop to append to the same vector multiple times you end up with quadradtic run time that is normally avoided by the geometric growth done when you just append without reserving.

That's Coinbase, not Bitcoin.

Coinbase's business model has been, from day one, to shoehorn the traditional banking business model into the Bitcoin ecosystem, knowing fully well that for the vast majority of people, being exposed to the raw Bitcoin stuff was damn near impossible, both psychologically (being the custodian of your own money) and skill-wise (operating and properly managing a Bitcoin wallet).

This is just another application of the same principle.

Any voting system that incorporates mean scores will in no way be immune to strategic deviations.

As a Lisp programmer, I don't dunk on everything that is not Rust; I instead dunk on everything that is C.

Dropping C for any sane alternative will be a massive boon.

That's a rather short opinion article.

It's title is likely of course. The PC has always been the winner of console wars. Again and again there are media articles declaring it dead, and then you look at the numbers and see that the PC gaming market in fact moved a ton of games [0], and a bunch of PCs. It's no accident that it gets hard to find peripherals and components that are not gaming branded.

The hardware advice given in the article is completely wrong. Things will not get better with new APUs - you will still need a gpu to play with good settings. And if you still need a gpu, like the article suggests, you don't need an APU at all. Things are great right now for gaming systems (and PC systems in general) because of how cheap and how strong the Ryzen 5 3600 is, and that there are a bunch of cheap to not overly expensive gpus: GTX 1650 Super/Radeon RX 5500, GTX 1660 Super, Radeon RX 5600, Radeon RX 5700 XT. All of these are excellent value at their price point, all of these are capable of playing modern games, even the two first and cheap series (sub $200).

Game Pass however is indeed a very nice thing for gaming. Also offers like HumbleBundle, also their HumbleBundle Trove. I don't think it has ever been cheaper to get a great and big game library (or at least access to one). Add to that the competition between Steam and Epic, leading to Epic throwing free games around (today the excellent new Total Wars Troy game) and probably motivating Steam to continue with their sales approach.

I cannot perform a non-blocking operation (querying redis for example) from within my module's handler function because as soon as my handler returns httpd sends a response. i.e. there's no 'NOT_DONE_YET' return code?

And while I'm anonymously ranting on the internet...

- being able to control response headers completely would be nice. In our case, the Date and Server headers cost money to send and our clients don't care about them. It's not for security reasons, it's about traffic egress costs on the cloud

- having a way to hook a worker thread's init would be useful

- there must be an easier way to get a request body other than the bucket brigade stuff?

A factory and warehouse of civilian goods. That logic won’t stop people from going to war with China. It stopped no one from warring with the US, back when it was the major civilian good supplier.

I do think going to war with China is useless. The loss of life would be immense and I see no reason for people to die for ideological purposes. However, a Cold War is coming. No longer, can we pretend that China and the US will become genuine parters, with shard long term goals and policies. If we must be competitors, then it’s best to do it honestly and openly.

For brain-power-application Vs Payoff, Web Software already overpays. I chatted with crossword designer a few weeks back, and it was fairly heavy brain work for little pay.

Software outside Web dev is somewhat similar too. You don't get paid that much.
The really old toilets didn't cause spray. They simply filled the bowl to the top with water, then let the weight of the water do the work.

The somewhat old toilets didn't spray very much. It wasn't notable. It didn't create a fine mist.

On old toilets, the lid was only slightly more sensible than the doors to hide the screen of a 1950s TV set. The bowl could be unsightly, and something could fall in by accident. Leaving the lid up has always been fairly normal, and people still do it today.
A custom type is also a data structure and that is usually what I think quotes like these refer to.
> However many children lack one or more of those factors. [...] For them the intrinsic motivation is to play video games all day, or talk to their friends, or smoke weed.

We grossly overestimate the amount of kids who fall into this group, maybe because we're priviledged enough exclude ourselves from it.

> I think the school system is fairly good at forcing all children to learn at least a little about all subjects.

Dude, ca. 20% of people in the US are either illiterate or functionally illiterate. How is that good?[1]

> But while adults then used that knowledge to maximize their prizes, children continued exploring the other options, just to see if their value may have changed.

I think it is not just "semantics" to consider that for children the reward is simply the rush of playing instead of what the researchers design as the intended award. And frankly speaking this is not at all a surprising result. Children learn through playing and they very much enjoy that process.

This is a very interesting development, especially given Coinbase's reach and visibility.

The unfortunate effect might be that people who have been so far stubbornly HODLing their BTC themselves (self-custody) will be tempted to surrender their coins to the exchange in exchange of immediate liquidity thereby increasing the concentration of actual custody of BTC by the exchanges ... the very thing Bitcoin was designed to avoid.

The temptation here is (at least on paper): you get to "keep" your Bitcoin while enjoying the benefit of them at the same time (betting. of course, that BTC will keep going up over time).

Here's to hoping hodlers will resist the temptation.

I've been using https://sleepyti.me for many years. It's simple and easy, which is usually good when I'm tired near bedtime.

I actually like your time picker better, but amusingly since I actually wanted to get up at 8am, I had to flick it slightly back and forth first.

Also, sleepyti.me gives me more options, including the "not so healthy" options, which I sometimes need because I don't do the calculation till late in the night but I still want to time my REM cycles.

They also have the "I'm going to bed now" button, which tells you when to wake up, accounting for the 14 minutes to fall asleep. I use that button a lot.

Overall this is great! Just wanted to provide some comparative analysis.
Why is the leadership still being paid handsomely even though the org is in decline?

Isn't it time for new leadership or at least cut the leadership salaries and provide a bonus once the org is growing again?

The 2million / year salary - but no results and getting rid of people who add real value - is like an insult to those people who support / donate and root for Mozilla.

Mozilla is a mission driven org and for the CEO not to take a paycut to save some of those job losses - just looks very bad from an outsider's perspective.

With Stadia your console will update and keep pace with the new graphics processors instead of falling behind in a few years.

This is indeed a question that we get asked a lot. We have so far not though about adding more advanced scheduling capabilities for the cooperative threads. With the slot system, if you have 48 core available in the cluster, and running 8 jobs, each job will only use 6 cores each. With cooperative threading, each job runs on all the 48 cores. We have tested something like 5,000 concurrent jobs on same cluster, but essentially they may be competing for the same resources, so you'll need to do your capacity planning accordingly. Simple way to work around that would be to create separate Jet nodes (a Jet node is very lightweight) so you could have separate execution pools.
It was a great article, but that particular phrase is so often used with the "a mile away" idiom to refer to things that are obvious. Using it to refer to how people didn't spot any evidence was a bit confusing.
