This is awesome! I've been developing firmware in Rust for a Hall Effect keyboard (with springless, magnetic separation switches!) I'm developing/inventing (just ordered the first PCBs!). I really wish we had something similar in the embedded Rust ecosystem as a lot of the crates mentioned don't support #![no_std] (declaration you make at the top of your Rust code to indicate that the compiler should not include the standard library).

The world of embedded Rust seems to be developing incredibly fast. Especially since there's so much hardware that you can use with it now and more is on the way (especially in the world of RISC-V... Holy crap there's a lot of interesting and exciting hardware coming!). As a result of that I seem to be regularly encountering situations where I try to do something basic but no one has "made a crate for that yet" (that works with #![no_std]).

Just the other day I found out just how difficult it is to benchmark something (i.e. grab the current time, do something, get the time again, then subtract the difference... It's really, really complicated! Way moreso than it should be). If someone wanted to make a name for themselves by developing widely-used software now is the time to make your mark! The world of embedded Rust is waiting for you!

FYI: I'm still a newbie when it comes to Rust but I was able to develop a universal driver (works with any hardware platform) for working with 74HC4067 and 74HC4051 analog multiplexers in just a few days... https://crates.io/crates/analog-multiplexer
So how much energy would you harvest by using these en masse to reduce the temperature of the earth by around 2.5 degrees centigrade? (I appreciate this is highly unlikely to be possible).
Wouldn't it be better to continue watching the "latest" with a critical eye? Sharpening one's ability to explain seemingly incoherent plot-arc or character choices based on genre, style, etc., seems a great way to deepen one's appreciation of the best films.
To be really automatic the only thing i should need to do is feed an csv, correct the suggested data types and then run all algorithms on the data with the information at the end which has been the most effective and which i should further optimize.
Now that the corona virus has given us a marker of the places where respiratory diseases spread, I wonder if (or hope that) there will be a restructuring of those places, resulting in an overall reduction in all respiratory diseases after the pandemic ends.
Missing: `async-std`

Which provides a interface like the std library but async.
(Through tokio copied a lot of this by now).

It uses the same execution implementation as `smol` and generally most of the code from it is shared with `smol` through internal dependencies like `async-executor`.

Through lie tokio it's a bit bigger then `smol` which affects compiler times.

It's a massive topic to cover in the scope of HN comments. ADHD also tends to be a touchy subject on HN. For a less heated parallel, consider reading up on how the "chemical imbalance" narrative has been harmful for public perception of psychiatry: https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/debunking-two-chemical... . People consume a lot of medication ads (in the US) and bite-sized, reductionist narratives about neurotransmitters and walk away thinking that psychiatry is simply about manipulating neurotransmitters up or down. In reality, psychiatry has known for a long time that complex behavioral disorders like ADHD, depression, PTSD, and so on aren't as simple as neurotransmitter balance in the brain, nor do they purely arise from your genetic code.

These "chemical imbalance" narratives tend to do more harm than good by giving patients an idea that their symptoms are purely external to their own choices, and therefore completely out of their own control. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to convince suffering patients that they have some control over their situation without also implying personal blame for their problems, which doesn't go over well. The idea that the problem is faultless ("It's not you, it's just your brain!") and that the solutions are effortless ("This pill will fix your chemical imbalance") is just too tempting. The alternatives ("Read this book on study habits, leave your phone in another room while studying, use timeboxing...") are an unappealing alternative.

Don't get me wrong: Medications can and absolutely do help people, but this idea that the problem can only be treated via medication is demonstrably false. The most successful patients use a combination of medications, therapy, and healthy habit-forming. The least successful patients tend to give up on everything except the medication, reaching for ever-increasing doses or trying to play games of on-days/off-days or saving up extra medication. That's a losing battle.
Sounds like these may be multiple startup opportunities - one for each industry or mode of dealing with businesses.

Of course, those businesses that are reasonable or customer-centric are less likely to make these kinds of choices.
Uou this is awesome! And it's very nicely presented in the website. I'm wondering how you mapped from the UV to the 3D model. I would like to add that feature to the addon.
As someone who apparently frequents much more pretentious online film circles than OP, the idea that the highest rated films and shows on IMDB represent the "best" of the mediums is kinda silly.

The article uses Star Trek (2009) as its example of a mediocre film. Its IMDB rating is 7.9/10 from over 500k votes over 11 years -- surely this would place the film squarely in the "tried and tested" category.

If I look on some smaller sites I see a different story.
Letterboxd: 7.2/10, 234k votes
RateYourMusic: 6.4/10, 3k votes
The first site has a higher ratio of capital f Film fans and the second site is a much smaller site focused on music. Using these three data points I can deduct that Star Trek (2009) is probably a decent franchise action movie that most will find enjoyable but won't stand up to scrutiny as a stand alone film or for those expecting something more substantial.

The article is right that it's so much easier to access the history of a medium than in the past. It's interesting to me when a previously unknown work from 25+ years ago is rediscovered and entered into "the canon". In alternative music a recent example is Long Season by Fishmans from 1996.

But going through the canonical "best of" lists for a medium is more-or-less a gateway to developing and discovering your own taste in these things (a process that never ends). You shouldn't put much trust in any single source.

Something that's missing now with this intermingling of old and new art is historical context. A film streaming platform is just a directory of video files attached to 250px images and paragraph blurbs. What is Netflix saying about film and its viewers when it has less than 50 films pre-1980? Now that watching 2000+ films before the age of 30 is common for film fans, what will that mean for the future of film?
Sure, migh do that as well while also fixing the current issue.

Off topic, but I recently found myself using the phrase "pretty much exactly". I realized it's nonsense, because the first part contradicts the meaning of "exact". I vowed to never use that phrase again.

I feel the same about "probably almost the truth" (not a criticism, just a thought) - unless truth is a range (100% true to 100% false) rather than a binary (either true or false).
That doesn't mean DO was targeting Indians specifically. That's more tied to the YouTube video that was making the rounds the other day.
That’s not the problem, it’s having to manage a bunch of sets of credentials, and the logistics of pushing updates through multiple stores. Both are obviously solvable problems but definitely annoying barriers to someone who really just wants to make their app.

Or more realistically, it means developers will have to start paying for a middle man saas thing that distributes apps in all the stores and aggregates reviews etc.
I recently watched a film from 1927[1] that is as good as any movie I've ever seen. The technology of film has improved, but good storytelling is timeless.

Star ratings have been widely proven to be a total failure. Most people treat them as binary: either something is nice, and gets 5, or is crap, and gets 1. The neutral score for things that are OK tends to be 5, sometimes 4.

This is particularly pronounced whenever there are any consequences attached to the ratings. If you give anything but 5 to your Uber driver, you're risking them losing their job. If you give anything but 5 on an e-commerce platform, the seller may lose a lot of money. 5 being the "neutral" score became normalized.
Traditionally our birth name isn’t our choice. And rarely do people change it. In America it’s not a trivial expense. Effectively the same “rule” exists: people have one name chosen by others.

Just because it may not be codified on paper doesn’t mean a reasonably similar organic habit doesn’t exist.

As a kid, everyone around you determines who you are to an extent by the options for learning they provide.

There’s a lot of laws that codify organic habit that will appear to reasonably occur without an explicit law.

Only in America would your name be a bigger personal freedom concern than child political prisoners no one brings up, or dying of preventable illness from lack of healthcare.

I've been on Adderall for 5 years ... I'm 43 right now.

It really HAS changed my life. What I've found is that over the long term you're able to perform much much better.

By the time I was in my 30s I had developed coping skills which worked for the most part but I would find myself getting demotivated and defocused sometimes on long term priorities and sometimes unable to recommit to them.

Adderall totally changed that. I'm able to focus on tasks long term AND even if something bad happens in my life I'm able to keep right on track.

It's also helped me stay more positive knowing that projects get completed and there's nothing preventing me from accomplishing what I want to accomplish.

There are some downsides though:

- Adderall is illegal in most countries so you're not even allowed to travel with it in some places. I didn't really know this at first and I wish they would tell you. Most countries will overlook it but if you're China they could totally use it as an excuse to harass you if they wanted.

- It's very addictive. If I forget my meds it's basically impossible to function.

- It's VERY hard to get since it's a controlled substance. I'm only able to get it 72 hours ahead of time and if they're out of stock sometimes I have to wait. DO NOT wait until the last minute. Get it as early as possible.

- Some people have problems with off brands of XR (extended release) that has a different formulation. There's no standardization on the XR process and I think it's vendor specific.
It’s at least somewhat possible, through open political means, to control what the government does with that information by having the government add regulations and controls on the data. To control what google does with that information, you’d have to spend a trillion dollars to buy google.
So instead of a technical discussion on how to improve incentives, governance, etc we'll concoct fun, semi-fictional storylines and cash in on the book / film sales. Got it!

Perhaps the so-called "critics" of corporate greed are really just telling on themselves...
I have found fun fun function really great for some tricky concepts like transducers. Although the concepts explored in the majority of the videos are not that advanced. The focus on soft skills is also a cool thing IMHO.

Your mention of taste is interesting as https://www.criticker.com engine basically recommends movies based on other people who have liked and disliked the same movies as you liked other films and it’s really effective!
"Perhaps I'm some sort of freak? "

You're clearly not. It's sort of astounding to think that someone could get to that age and not have learned the lessons in life that teaches one to listen and own up to mistakes.

Some sort of nepotism perhaps?

It's not age-ist to point out that you would have expected someone of that age to be more self-aware.

People that cannot own their own mistakes are downright dangerous. The older, the worse.

It's sort of odd, because some people can just 'slip through', all the way to the top (failing upwards, I believe it is called), because if you perfect the art of not admitting mistakes, some people mistake that for confidence / skill (and often, the more money you have, the easier it becomes to do this).
Can this be scaled up to provide power that isn't just a gimmick in the grand scheme of things?
It's super sad. My boss was once at the center of one of these big press release splashes at the university I worked. She said it was almost more of a burden than a boon, because the attention it attracted was almost all of the wrong kind. And among the right kind of people, she had to spend time and effort excusing the embarassing and ridiculous press release.

I wonder if universities understand that they're sometimes harming their own people with these things.
This is why you need both a location and a certainty when giving back geotagged info, and when you get it, you don't display a point, you display an appropriately sized circle.

So you get something that actually resolves to "US", you draw a circle centered on the US, covering most of the US, instead of a point marker in the middle of the US.
I suggest adding the hacktobefest label to issues you'd like to see tackled. Many people search for `label:hacktoberfest language:Rust is:open` or the likes to find projects to contribute to. I have not found a way to search for repos with a repo-tag yet.

Ask HN: Volume Pricing for SaaS Licenses?
We usually sell annual licenses to our product one at a time to small businesses in a specific medical niche. I've been asked to prepare a proposal for one of the largest suppliers in our industry, where they'll essentially be sponsoring purchase of our product for the end user, our mutual customers. Use of our product can help drive sales of their product through our mutual customers, which is why they're interested in this arrangement. They'd like an estimate for 500 licenses, and ballpark retail price is $5000/year. How do I approach volume discounting? $2.5M seems like a huge number to me!!!
> What I wonder though is what about Java is bad? Like, is the lack of inference the key differentiator between good static type systems that help, and those that get in your way and slow you down?

Lack of type inference is part of it - Java's type system gets in your way more than better type systems due to it. But the bigger part is that Java's type system doesn't give you the tools to model things properly. One big issue is nulls - no matter what you do with types, you have the possibility of null constantly in your way. The other is the lack of sum types, without which many things that you want to model become difficult, verbose, and error-prone.

They're your kids so it's your decision but might I suggest trying a low dose of Adderall or other medication and ramp up over time?

ADD was REALLY hard on me when I was a kid. I had a difficulty making friends. I got really bad grades in school. Got in fights. Made me depressed and I thought something was broken with me.

You can start with 5mg and then ramp up from there. I'm on 15mg. I can't really feel 5m and 20mg is far too much.

At lower doses they won't really have any side effects and then you can keep them on for 90-120 days to see how they tolerate it.

Not sure if this stands true for the current Indian government.
yep, i'm ready go back to the office. This WFH stuff isn't all that it was hyped up to be and from talking to my co-workers, I'm not alone.

Their press release says:

I do not want any App Store to be taking political stances.
Copyright laws _are_ overly restrictive, but that's not what gives Apple and Google such power. It's how much they're established in the mobile systems market - which is not a free market. At this point it would be a miracle if any other OS maker made a dent in their marketshares without huge government intervention (think the US, EU or China forcing a new OS) – otherwise no way users _and_ developers would come. So there needs to be some regulation to stop anticonsumer practices.
Without getting all quantum about it, it seems to work by configuring the graphene as one electrode (or both) of a capacitor. As the graphene flaps in the breeze (actually Brownian motion, I assume), the changing geometry will change the capacitance. If there is a charge on the cap, then the voltage would flap too, inversely (Q = CV). A changing voltage would tend to push about a current (i.e. charge motion). If their diodes somehow have a negligible forward voltage drop, then brief moments of higher voltage on the flappy cap would push increments of charge onto the storage cap (the one to the right of the diodes) until the storage cap voltage rose to equal the peak flappy voltage (minus the diode voltage drop). When the storage capacitance is greater than the flappy graphene capacitance, the stored energy will be greater than the tiny increments (energy = 1/2 CV^2). Then every so often the storage cap could be switched to drive some load.

So why would there be a charge in the flappy capacitor? Well, a bias voltage is applied by this battery in the circuit. Ahem, before invoking any principles of thermodynamics, I'd like to see some detailed measurements, or even careful theory, of the current out of the battery and back into the battery, particularly w.r.t. the instantaneous voltages (P = VI), to prove that the time-average power delivered by the battery is precisely zero, or at least far lower than that putatively transferred to the load (light bulb in the animation). Otherwise it's behold, we found a high-resistance path for our battery to run a light bulb.

There is some precedent for semiconductor thermal magic in the Peltier junction. It makes one end colder and the other end hotter by applying electric watts to it, with no moving parts aside from the electrons and holes recombining, or something. But nobody sees thermodynamics being violated or extended there.

But here the magic is to take away thermal energy from one place, the flappy graphene (thereby cooling it) and moving the energy to the light bulb (thereby heating it). It seems you could then use any old heat engine to extract work by letting the heat flow from the resulting hotter place back to the colder place, getting "limitless power" for free from your perpetual motion machine. Conceivably it's a sort of heat pump that gets some multiplier above the battery power. But I think the burden of proof is on the Arkansas folks to explain how this can be. If I had more energy (no pun intended, really) right now I'd try to find the paper that the press release is based on, to see if there's a little more truth there.

Meanwhile, I doubt it.
I didn't say corporations are all good, but the fact that you had to go back to the 17th century to find an example tells a lot.

Governments have been killing people since their beginning and probably as we speak.
Coming from Python and having no Rust experience, it's odd to me that these are all external packages and not apart of the standard library.

For instance, Python provides HTTP, regex, logging, etc. out of the box.

Is this a difference in philosophy between Python and Rust? (Batteries-included vs unix?)
That quote was in context of Android vendors who don’t update their kernel. So you’re making the same point as the article.
The “crab bucket mentality” is a pretty common idiom.
You are correct. "object-function" is basically like in Javascript: It's an object (having members) and an executable body. The colons are a shorthand for function call. ie myfunc()

In Copper, variables only store functions. This separates routine from data so you never end up with null pointer errors like in languages that have Any Types or pointers. Functions can return data, so you end up having function calls everywhere.
a=5 is basically a={ret(5)}

In your above example the correct first line would be:
adder = [a b] { ret(+(a: b:)) }

Parameters to a function are those that are not assigned data, whereas members are:
add = [Param, Member=10) { ret(+(Param: this.Member:)) }

Now you can probably see what's wrong with your third line.
