> I honestly don't think anyone suggests dropping C in favor of Rust.

librsvg largely did. Brian Cantrill was very bullish, and apparently still is given… well the name of his company is a reference for starters, and if you look a Oxide's public repos those with C as the main language are all forks.

> Lastly Rust, in terms of it's nature, is more closely related to C++ rather than C. If Rust was to replace something, it has a much better chance against C++ than C.

That's very true, but at the same time C++ is way more complicated than Rust, with features interacting in subtle pitfalls and a lot more implicit (and often undesirable) behaviours e.g. the Chromium Cursor / GDI leak where a missing (therefore implicitly-declared) copy-assignment operator led to a leak of invisible kernel resources.

Not all of the people who'd rather do C than C++ do so because they don't want anything better than C. Again I'll cite Cantrill who very famously and publicly hated C++.
I like the staging area, though–at any given time I always have code that I do not want to put in a commit object (perhaps I changed some build flags, or my IDE touched some files I don't care for, or…) However, I do agree 100% that all the terminology is pretty bad.
I wish there was a service where I could donate money to the animators, composers, writers, etc for a movie. I want to pay them directly for their work. Trickle down be damned.

Could also be nice if there was some sort of system where the people who actually worked on the film could decide who really deserves the money.
I can see why the author might think mid to end game of Syndicate is a bit of a grind although to me that's really when the game started to get fun. You reach that inflection point where you have a demolition squad that can just roll through missions and get that feeling that you really are taking over the world. You can set traps for entire groups of enemies or just blitz right through an entire level eliminating targets all along the way. Great fun!

Magic Carpet also has the same vibe. Once you start playing against other wizards it becomes a race to get certain spells and enough power to start leeching mana until you can rain down lightning storms, meteors, and volcanoes; all the while annihilating flocks of birds, hordes of bees, lakes filled with kraken, monstrous crabs, griffins... and wyverns.

I know what I'm doing this weekend.
What is the point in vehemently renouncing a Facebook account, but not renouncing giving your data, contact details, phone number, call history, data stream, to Facebook through WhatsApp?

It isn't the username and password which is the objectionable thing about Facebook.
It violates GDPR, so it's illegal in the EU in general (plus UK & Switzerland). The relevant parts are Article 7 Paragraph 4, and Recital 43. In short, consent isn't valid if it's a condition for an unrelated contract.

Not to mention the insane licensing laws governing what music I can listen to. For example, I can’t listen to any Muse tracks on Spotify in India.
Retail buys that much total, not net. And retail mostly buys puts as a hedge to their existing position. SoftBank introduced $4b of premium directed in the same direction for new deltas.

I love solutions like this. Had I been called on to solve their problems, I probably would have built a "simple" app. I try to remember solutions like this when I am tempted to over complicate a problem.

Though I'm already thinking about how maybe the balls need some sensors or we codes so we can have data and a dashboard.

If so, were they unpaid?

How were you able to support yourself so young and inexperienced in the Valley?
In recent versions of git (since 2.23) the two main `git checkout` functions have been split into two newly supported dedicated commands: `git switch` and `git restore`.

Of course the next step is unlearning `git checkout` muscle memory and moving to using `git switch` and `git restore` more regularly.

Yes absolutely. What qualifies Anish Kapoor's Bean for example as art above the Shadow of the Colossus?

And there was an absolute explosion of written works only starting two centuries ago - due to mass scale printing. And even in books, fantasy is somehow not high literature - which is just gatekeeping at this point.

In physics for example, computational modelling has been exploding. The availability of GPUs and ML based modelling has been rising rapidly too.

Yet another point - when I was a MS student quantum computing was a pie in the sky fantasy - today it's an exploding field. Same for energy storage - the progress we have made there in the last decade is mind boggling.

There is an effect that we humans cannot really accept - it takes time to really judge the quality of a work. And that time is often decades. Human beings are exceptionally poor at long term thinking (we have literally mountains of evidence for this) and yet stubbornly refuse to accept this limitation.

The Index does, but there are a number of options that are not Oculus and provide the standalone experience. My point was really: there are other options that are at least as good, so you don't need to ditch the idea of getting VR.

Except for the direct quotes from her.

"“I do get advice from them,” she said. “But that’s the end of that.”

She eventually explained that there are several private Twitter DM groups where discussion goes on “all day”, with new pro-Corbyn lines posted alongside anti-Tory memes — which are often taken and repurposed from Facebook groups.

Asked whether Labour officials were in the groups speaking to the pro-Corbyn accounts, she said “Maybe”, smiling."

https://www.buzzfeed.com/markdistefano/heres-the-woman-behin...

It was tangential to my point, but Corbynite trolls were just as nasty and just as organized as the right wingers. Everyone not for Corbyn was neoliberal scum, or a 'yellow Tory'. In the end this only serves to shut down real debate and polarise each bubble.

You think the face mask helped filter the hydrocarbons? Are you retarded?
The feature comparison is bullshit because the author uses different methodologies to count the features of Rust compared to the other three languages. For the other languages, it's count the bullet points in a list of new features; for Rust, it's count the bullet points in release notes. (And the methodology isn't clear as to whether it's limiting to language features, or including both library and language features)

> Python and Rust started with threads, and are having "async" bashed into the language as an afterthought.

Rust started with green threads, but they were removed pre-1.0 for reasons that I'm sure steveklabnik can jump in and explain.
Simply not true. Defaults are cryptographically strong.
We already had function level compilers back in the early days, Energize C++ and VA for C++ v4, but they were too resource hungry for what companies were willing to pay for and they died.

There is an Energize C++ demo floating around on YouTube.
Yeah like I said in another comment, I'm really not trying to deny the validity or value of individual games or anything like that. Portal is brilliant, and I really liked DA:O (though not quite as much as Baldur's Gate or Pillars of Eternity). I just think that the Shakespeare of the video game medium, whatever form that would even take, hasn't been born yet.

how are retail options different from softbanks options. if there are 34 b of retail calls purchased that would dwarf softbank if done in the same time period
> That vs. Fox News, which was designed from the start as arm of the GOP and is a fount of intentional misinformation.

What do you think the NYT was designed from the start as? Charitable saints interested in the truth didn't create the NYT.

The preference for fox news or nyt is a reflection on the individual rather than the merits/bias/objectivity of the news organizations. People support the news that reflect their "values" which incidentally was created by the news/media organizations themselves. It becomes a vicious, certainly not virtuous, cycle.
Let's not kid ourselves, finding a torrent for a movie or looking up which service it streams on are both the same level of easy.[] The issue is you have to subscribe to all those different services, which is what most people are probably not willing to do.

Now if a show or movie doesn't stream in your region or isn't otherwise easily online accessible, that's a different story. In that case it's on the industry to do better. When content is readily available on a streaming service, I don't think it's fair to point at the entertainment industry and say they have a problem to solve. In that case 'the problem' might actually be people wanting to watch movies and not pay for it.

There are a number of theories that could explain this.

Broadly speaking, small-c conservatism, hold the following central tenets "...tradition, organic society, hierarchy, authority, and property rights." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism, I know this is a wikipedia link, it is sourced to an actual text which doesn't appear to be online and so is not conducive to hyperlinking). It could be that their preference for hierarchy and authority extends to the legislators being willing to support the party leadership, regardless of their own personal policy preferences.

Another line of thought is that there is a Venn Diagram of sorts for those two politicians, and the policies that move forward are the ones where there is already agreement. For instance, we don't see a lot of legislation legalizing drugs or prostitution coming from the Republican party, because while the Libertarians might support that, not everyone does and coalition building is difficult. We do see a fair bit of pro-Christian actions from the party, but I think that could be attributed to reframing the issue as one of Religious Liberty which allows the Libertarian to either support it or not actively oppose it.

Largely though the legislation we see passed through is about areas that likely have broad support where little coalition building is required, tax reform, military spending, moves to reduce the scope of what most Republicans would agree are wasteful government programs.

I doubt the Republicans have found some new method for coalition building, if they had then you would expect more fringe Libertarian ideals like drug and prostitution legalization to have some presence in the conversation. It seems like even in the rather tame Marijuana legalization discussion the Republicans are staking out an opposition stance. Although the desire to make profit from Marijuana has turned some of the most ardent opponents into vocal supporters, as is the case for John Boehner.
Author here. I appreciate you sharing this message and I completely agree — I think it's really important to separate happiness from being dependent on success. So much of success comes from luck and timing that basing happiness off it is a recipe for being unhappy most of the time.

Have you read The Courage to be Disliked or A Guide to the Good Life? These books resonated with me and it seems like you may enjoy them too :)

I think that problem has been solved for the most part.

To me, the real issue is finding movies/tv shows where you cannot buy or rent them. Amazingly, it is still an issue in this world.

I would love to see The Bob Mathias Story from 1954. It was created by Allied Artists that has been bought and sold a few times ending up at ViacomCBS. Through many weeks of trying to find out if I could get a copy the best I could get was ViacomCBS sometimes allows it to be shown on TV.

I want to buy/rent a copy of movie that exists and cannot. How in 2020 can this happen?
Whether uncorrectable read error (bad sector) reported by drive firmware, or dm-integrity detecting corruption, the affected LBA's are propagated up to md. And then md can determine the location of a copy (mirror or reconstruct from parity). It then overwrites the bad location.

This mechanism is often thwarted with consumer drives, when their SCT ERC timeout can't be set or is longer than the kernel's SCSI command timer default of 30 seconds. Once a command hasn't returned a result of some kind within 30s, the SCSI driver does a link reset. On SATA this has a pernicious effect of clearing the entire command queue, not just the one that was hung up in "deep recovery". LBA's aren't returned so it's indeterminate where or what the problem was caused by, no fix up happens. This results in bad sector accumulation. This misconfiguration is common, and routinely costs people their data.

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Timeout_Mismatch

This may be easier and more reliable to do with a udev rule; but the concept is the same. Also, while this is linux-raid@ wiki, it doesn't only apply to mdadm raid, but LVM, and Btrfs as well. I don't know if it applies to ZoL because I don't know about all the layers ZFS implements itself separate from Linux. But if it depends at all on the SCSI driver for error handling, it would be at risk of this misconfiguration as well.
Even with music for example - look at what indie artists are doing. Touareg rock for example, or Altin Gun for Turkish folk psychedelia, Newen Afrobeat who are combining Chilean folk with Afrobeat or Coke Studio in Pakistan will be marvelled at decades from now.

Heck, just go through the KEXP YouTube catalogue to be blown away by what's happening in music.
winamp 2.92 was the last version I used. Never bought into 3/5 and all the flashy things they tried in. It did one thing and did it well.

> Or at least, as long as the bearings don’t fail.

If the bearings fail, counteracting torque is the least of your worries - you should land immediately before the rotor shits itself and you turn into a flaming lawn dart. From the UH-60 operator's manual:

> 9.22.10 Main Transmission Failure.

> WARNING

> If % RPM R decreases from 100% to below 96% with an increase in torque during steady flight with no engine malfunction, the main transmission planetary carrier may have failed. During a main transmission planetary carrier failure, it may be impossible to maintain % RPM R at 100%.

> NOTE

> Decreasing % RPM R may be accompanied by a drop in transmission oil pressure of 10 psi or more, and possible unusual helicopter vibrations.

> PROCEDURE

> 1. Collective - Adjust only enough to begin a descent with power remaining applied to the main transmission throughout the descent and landing.

> 2. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Some time ago, some UI designer asked, on HN, for what open source program should they build a UI to establish their reputation. I suggested "git". That was rejected as too hard. They just wanted to put eye candy on a command, not have to rethink its relationship with the user.
Which also shouldn't be surprising given VMS also had a huge inspiration (and some key figures) on early NT Kernel development. In some ways modern Windows is "son of VMS".
Ask HN: What educational YouTube channels do you watch?
There are a few I'm a big fan of:

- LindyBeige for European history told in a funny way. His extended stories are amazing (most recent was Last Charge of the Light Horse)
- Journey to the Microcosmos for amazingly shot videos of the microscopic world with interesting voiceovers
- Technology Connections for interesting tangents about technology from a (funny) pedant with strong opinions about all kinds of things
- Ben Eater for building an entire computer starting with logic gates, and also a nice 6502 series
- Cody's Lab for all kinds of strange things, most recently mushroom growing, told by someone passionate about it

Others worth mentioning but sometimes hit or miss for me are PBS Eons and PBS Space Time, Half as Interesting, Kurzgesat, Kings and Generals, Invicta, LGR, 8 bit guy, Strange Parts, N-O-D-E.

I'm always on the hunt for more great interesting channels like these, and always love sharing the ones I've found.
Not sure if you remember Sonique. It was, I think, the first app (or at least MP3 player) that had non-rectangular shapes for it's skins:

I'm not sure about that; the Russian Ka-50 coaxial attack helicopter seems reasonably quick, certainly not the fastest helicopter ever but comparable to an Apache at least (315km/h vs 293 km/h respectively, though the Apache has a higher never-exceed speed: 350km/h vs 365km/h)

If you include compound helicopters (using horizontal pusher props or turbojets), coaxial helicopters can certainly be very quick; the S-97 can cruise at 410 km/h, but in that case you have the liabilities of a 'tail rotor' to contend with again. The S-69 could do a blistering 487km/h with it's turbojets, 289km/h without.

One to consider is the Eurocopter X3, a single rotor compound helicopter without a tail rotor. It could do 472km/h and used two tractor propellers with variable pitch to counteract the rotor torque.
As an outside observer, I used to believe the stock market was solid and mostly rational, and that obviously it could not be influenced by a single actor or a subreddit community, contrary to a "playground" like the Bitcoin market. I get the feeling everyone says they see the emperor's clothes in the stock market reliability, anticipating everything, but in reality it's just short term gambling and post rationalization.

They have been growing golden rice for over 15 years now. And they have yet to deliver on the promise of providing the lacking nutrients to the people who need them.

I mean sure. If GMO can help people, sure go ahead and grow them. But the fact is that so far GMO crops are limited to large agriculture giants and is not used to help with the global food safety net. Particularly not for feeding the poorer parts of the world.

In addition, dietary vitamin A deficiency can easily be fixed now (as well as 20 years ago; and even 120 years ago) with better food distribution. We have been shipping food for millennia. We don’t need golden rice or any other GMO to fix this problem.

Just to clarify, I’m not against them researching and growing golden rice. I am against them lying about how this crop can save the world from a problem that can be already easily be fixed with existing methods.
Inside information doesn't have anything to do with market manipulation. The trader who caused the Flash Crash in 2010 was similarly prosecuted for artificially manipulating the markets. If Softbank was buying options to somehow manipulate the rest of their trades, I can't see how this isn't illegal.
Do you argue that we cannot do this in principle, or that we cannot do it yet? The second can be true but considering that people have lived on all kinds of different diets, there should not be too many unique components vital to survival/health, so we'll figure them all out eventually.
