Will there be any brains left to communicate with this interface by then? Can't we just make a pill that makes me want to buy things and skip out on this pervasive future?

It sounds like a great application for medical issues but does every consumer need one? The quotes from the guy from Magic Leap don't give me any hope that this won't be used to further program our race into some mindless consuming turds.

I wish I could sit and hype and wonder if/what can be done, but does anyone around these 'pioneers' ever ask them if they should?
>Rust seems like a poor 'culture fit' in this regard.

How would Rust prevent "rushing crude hacks out the door at the last minute"?
Is there any reference that these are actually zero days, or are these just particular CVE's based on some other category? e.g. the sources/links do not indicate that these were actually used in the wild? There's no indication that these were not responsibly disclosed.
It is the future of game development. I think that Rust makes it easier to build your own engine from public crates.

In some sense blueprints are necessary because using CPP sucks. I can imagine that instead of Blueprints, Rust based engines will use some DSLs.
On Windows, it's pretty bad. I understand HP has acceptable Linux support, and the driver package on a Linux platform is not as intrusive as the Windows side.
I have to side with the poster of the comment you're responding to. If $1k per month is pure profit and doesn't require more than 2hrs per week of work, bravo. However, if it's your main gig and you're dumping anything more than 15hrs a week into it... yeah I don't really see the purpose. You could make more selling "magic" rocks on Etsy.

Understandable - my point is that it's a turing incomplete language.
Personally, I'm betting on Haskell - for indie dev in particular where I want to manage huge amounts of complexity as an individual. This is partially because I've been programming Haskell professionally for 5+ years so I'm over the learning curve and well into the realm of efficiency gains.

The GHC RTS is akin to the Lua layer and handles all the high-level logic. For storage and compute-intensive things, we can drop to lower-level primitives for performance and then easily hook into them in our scripting layer. I wouldn't be surprised if fleshing out this domain hints at future useful GHC extensions as well.

I like Rust a lot, but I honestly think the ability to do highly-abstract programming is worth having to deal with a non-literal compilation pipeline. For gamedev at least.

I honestly think it will be astounding what scale of game a single developer will be able to build in Haskell in 3-5 years once all the pioneering is out of the way. Programming a game the size Blasphemous could easily be managed by a single Haskeller I'm pretty sure - leaving resources to focus on art, sound, and storytelling. And that's an easy call - it'll be fun to see just how big and complicated of game logic we can make cheap thanks to good abstractions.
Living in a dry climate, rarely printing usually meant by the time I needed to print again my ink cartridges had dried up (or at least enough to not dispense ink anymore). Not sure if this is still true today.

I've been using cheap laser printers for many years and will never go back to inkjets! But my needs are very simple, not trying to print photos.
> you might as well just get a job at McDonalds, you'll have a nice pay raise.

What you’ll also have: little opportunity for growth, barely any valuable experience, skills, or learning opportunities, an intellectually boring job, nothing to show off to potential future employers, and you’re giving up working for yourself to sell your time.

And that’s ignoring your massive assumption that all these startups are full time jobs.

What a simplistic viewpoint.
"It's a big club and you ain't in it." - George Carlin
This article doesn't actually talk about "Why Rust Is the Future of Game Development." You could have taken out the game development piece, and it still doesn't talk about "Why Rust Is the Future of Development," more than talking about Rust features themselves.

I should be able to complete the sentence, "Rust is the future of game development because...," but I can't in any meaningful way.

Here are the highlights of the article, instead:

Rust is the future of game development because Rust has the performance of C++ with the convenience of C#.

Rust is the future of game development because Rust has ownership based memory.

Rust is the future of game development because Rust is popular. (The article doesn't say this explicitly, but implies it is.)

Rust is the future of game development because Rust is still an immature language. (This doesn't actually sell the point, and I'm not sure why the author bothers talking about this.)

What's weird, too, is that the article talks about how hard networking is, but _cart has specifically said in the past, "Yup! High level and low level networking is definitely on our radar, but it also isn't our immediate priority."

It may come as a surprise, but you basically have to bake networking into the engine. It's not easy as an afterthought. Rust doesn't help with this. In fact, multiplayer and all its challenges have nothing to do with Rust.

We had modern client-side prediction roughly 20 years ago, and people still don't take multiplayer seriously.
The value of one single article, however presented in "scientific" form, whichever magazine publishes it, is practically 0. The sooner one realizes that, the sooner one can stop debunking each and every homeopathy "paper"... the earlier one can move to do real science.

Yes, it's sad, you will not be able to detect small effects because they will have a very hard time getting reproduced above noise level, but there is just no alternative.
I am sorry. As a lighting wallet user, none of that is true anymore. The underlying channel management is abstracted away from the user. The experience is pleasant. I won't jump to another cryptocurrency as BTC with lightning ticks all the marks for me.

The only thing missing in the BTC ecosystem is smart contracts, but I am happy for that to be a separate ecosystem (ETH or otherwise).

Heh. I've got a case open with their customer relations team right now. They've had money off me for a laptop that doesn't work.

The funny thing about the customer relations team is that they don't have an inbound phone number. If they aren't answering your emails, not only can you not get anything that way, but even if you phone the customer support team, they're internally segregated so they can't see what's going on either.

I've been trying to get a working laptop out of HP since the third week of September, and as far as I can tell that's just not something they're capable of.
As an outsider I'm not completely sure I understand Canada's vision for it's tech sector.

The plan seems to be to heavily subsidize (and try to extract political credit for) StarLink and SpaceX so that existing rent seeking monopolies can price gouge customers even more. What's interesting is that with regulations around aerospace SpaceX can't and won't hire Canadians. The country effectively went 180 degree backward from the Nortel years when it seemed interested in being a pioneer in network tech to simply being a consumer. Seeing how Nortel didn't protect it's IP again foreign nations, that's probably a good thing that SpaceX doesn't hire Canadians.

This pattern also extends to the rest of what remains of the Canadian aerospace sector. When Trump slapped tariffs later judged to be illegal on the Bombardier CSeries the Trudeau government simply... looked away and did nothing, allowing Airbus to swoop in and grab the plane and it's IP. Again, Canada will handle some assembly while engineering moves to Europe.

Are these measures... popular with the Canadian public? Help me understand here.
Onix is shaped around Operator Framework. It's all containers.
This is great, already installed via Homebrew.

Something that puzzles me while using dig(1) is that I don't really understand the +trace output. In my mind it should be rather easy to trace a DNS request, something like: dig A google.com → etc/resolv.conf says your nameserver is X.Y.Z.T → made a query to X.Y.Z.T, it recursed → domain google.com has nameserver ns.a.b. → ADDITIONAL section told us ns.a.b is at X.C.F.G IP → made dns query to X.C.F.G, it told us it was Authoritative and gave RRs [IP1, IP2].

I never quite can get this level of clarity from dig(1), instead, "dig A google.com +trace" gives an output like this: https://gist.github.com/ahmetb/28a3853bef72fbabf4f0d8ac0712a... which makes me think like: what the hell, am I actually hitting root nameservers every time?

If your tool can help developers here, I think it's a major value add.
It's interesting to note that the original implementation for this was in Haxe, 6 years ago! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8325700
Why is this a Biden vs Trump issue? They both have campaigned on Covid19 relief. Just because Trump isn't unconstitutionally forcing lockdowns, testing, & contact tracing doesn't mean he isn't doing anything. Pfizer and other vaccine makers got assistance with expediting their vaccine R&D, approval, & distribution as part of Trump admin's Operation Warp Speed. https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2020/09/16/trump-administrati...
I'm assuming it means getting public involvement? Getting people to participate in the process.

That said, I do feel most of the examples are not that. The old shareware scene was much closer to the spirit. Now that we are pushing winners only, feels more like corporate control than it does people control. :(
This seems like totally random and unfocused feedback. The fact is, for ANY business $1mm MRR is SOMETHING, which could be brought to the bank for a loan to continue business, as well as a proposal to investors. It's a sign that a least at some level your business is WORKING.

I fail to see the point of this negativity.
? Did you try downloading and using the wallets. It exists. You are misinformed.
Yes she can ask for it, and get it. But that isn't good. It means the smaller artists are subsidising her. She is taking money for listens to other people's songs. I don't mean to victimise Lady ga ga here of course. It's just that the bigger artists are only getting any decent money at all because the smaller ones get virtually nothing.
> But that notwithstanding, why is it "unfair" if a community-oriented entity decides to compete with a commercial organisation?

> Public bodies are, after all, funded by tax payers. Who in this case would be the recipients of the service.

Not all tax payers are recipients of the service. The government run entity can collect revenue from all taxpayers regardless of which ones are their direct customers.

That's what makes it "unfair." The private entity has to turn a profit or break even on their sales alone. The government run entity can subsidize their operation by taking funds from general tax revenue.

If one entity is allowed to take always take a loss on their operations how could another entity that needs to pay their employees ever be able to compete?
Keep in mind that you can run your own server though.

> building some kind of SaaS API is probably not really possible for something that can be trivially implemented and operated locally

A SaaS that allows you to deploy APIs and handles Auth/Billing/Customer Support/Usage Metrics etc would be a viable service. There are plenty of 1 man APIs that could be built by an engineer if the heavy business aspects were taken care of.
I can't agree with you and the GP enough. 3rd party software is hell to integrate!

We can at least hope that in a science fiction future there will be a standardized container abstraction for delivering working software, with well-defined conventions regarding an admin interface for setup, an operator interface to investigate issues, and a user interface, which we make as reliable, comprehensive, trustworthy, and buttery smooth as we can make it.
Analyzing GPS Trajectories at Scale with Postgres, PostGIS, MobilityDB, & Citus
Doesn't the borrow checker ask programmers to be a bit less crude and hacky? I thought that was the point.
Also, if we extended this idea of paying for all the software people use, the whole thing would fall over very quickly. I don't think most developers here have ever sent Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler any money for zlib/gzip? And how many have sent checks to the people who've been contributing to the linux kernel? And gnu file utils and bin utils and compilers? And the openssl project? And OpenBSD for openssh? And any of the other hundreds of bits of code that they rely on on a daily basis to get their work done.

At the end of the day if you want to get paid for your work, don't give it away under a free license. This is the second major story -- that I've seen anyway -- in the last couple of weeks about people wanting to be paid for the software that they freely give away. It reminds me of the time I went to Rome and a man came up to me and slipped a string bracelet around my wrist. When I told him I didn't want it, he said "no, no, it's free. just a friendly gift." and when I said thanks and turned to walk away he got mad that I didn't give him any money. Apparently it's a typical scam. "Give a gift" but then demand a return donation of money.

No one is motivated to stop poaching as much as the person whose property is being stolen.

A ban works if it's enforced. But who's going to call the enforcers when there's a violation?

This is the reason the tragedy of the commons exists.
It is. I’m saying after that period.

Not withstanding the rather enormous caveat of antivaxxers. They have grown significantly in number during this pandemic what with all the wild conspiracy theories. It’s worth checking that out.
But rebuilding seems faster since the Rust Compiler is smarter about caching things. I think that the way the Rust module system works also makes things faster.
Righto I’d say the problem I see is with recommending an exercise with just a link to a video and saying “can be learned in minutes” without the recommendation “Make sure to start light and focus on great form”. For most people I wouldn’t recommend taking on deadlifts or squats without a trainer or a buddy to spot proper form.

This advice comes from myself who in the past dove into numerous exercises after watching 1 video, had crappy form, and had pain as a result. Slow and steady with proper form is definitely the name of the game.
I'm a coin flip. Either I have no clue where I left something or I'm like you and can walk over to it with my eyes closed and pick it up without having to fumble for the handle. Being blind folded just made me have to take the time to remember where I was putting something ... it didn't take long to become good at.

I think democratization is often used where decentralization fits better as a term.
There's a tendency to refer to Peloton as a "religion" or Lululemon as a "cult."

They're not. But we may overlook the new, spiritual organizations that are being born.

Bitcoin and Tesla bear the markings of genuine religious denominations.
I think recurring support contracts or subscriptions are actually very problematic in the case because the gains will naturally go the projects highest up the dependency tree because they are the most visible.

However, if we payed for change requests in individual projects there would be the possibility for

1. money to trickle down from well sponsored projects to their dependencies when those higher level projects need changes

2. teams to spread money around by directly requesting changes to more obscure projects they depend on.
>> [the word] [of [a] Scientist] has become too much of a powerful political force these days

> Who? Science is a process, not a group, so who in specific has too much political force? Does everyone doing science have political force? Be precise in your language, please!

Science has become politicized, you can see it in most every HN thread on certain science-related topics (like this one, for example). Typically, the quality of disagreements are similar to what you might find on /r/politics, because both sides are not speaking scientifically, which is a requirement for actual scientific discussions (there is lot more complexity going on under the covers at the psychological level, but good luck having an abstract discussion on that during an object-level argument when the abstract phenomenon is the unrealized basis of the very argument).

The media throws around "scientific" memes, and calls them science, and actual scientists stand on the sidelines and say nothing.

Actual scientists who disagree even in part with these scientific memes are censored, or worse.

In turn this sows distrust in the public, which lessens the beneficial effects of beneficial scientific knowledge in society. The recommended response to this seems to be doubling down on propaganda/groupthink/mockery and scientific authoritarianism. To me, this seems suboptimal, but who am I to complain - I'm just going to mostly sit on the sidelines and watch the whole thing melt down into chaos (how far down the path we are is unknown, but we sure as hell have increasing chaos), and occasionally post a forum comment here and there. From my vantage point, this seems like one of those weird cultural trends that comes along every so often which cannot be stopped with reason, you just have to let human nature play itself out.

Is this not just ARC?
Well, then, that's where you explain the principle of least privilege.

Besides, why are you even using terms like "Turing complete" with people who don't have a CS or SWE background, anyway?

compaq bought DEC, HP bought compaq. The things "left" from those veins in the company have been praised, but they have been drying out for a long time by now.

In most case with SAAS, its 90% profits if you grew organically without spending hella lot of money on ads.

Now with everyone moving to cloud and managed services, the infra cost is too less.

If someone is able to automate most things and working like 1 hour a day and still makes $1K MRR, its still good assuming its growing slowly.

Paper/2D printers are largely on their way out, it's a stale industry. I doubt free/libre design can take off there.

It's much like Linux. It took the cloud by storm, smartphones by default, but it came too late to make headway on laptops/desktops. Sure, many people here use it. I do. And about 2% of the Internet with a declining tendency.
So, do you have a point, or are you just waving around BS hoping something will stick?

C++ developers who never heard of Rust sounds rather strange to me, like they are stranded on some isolated island.
At least some reports at the time were of heavenly armies and other fantastic things. So at the time the phenomenon was not described (at least universally) as aurora.

The article - written much later - assumes that it was in fact an aurora. The comment I replied to proposed "tl;dr: IMO they were probably high on wacky loaf." Which is an alternate explanation that doesn't really match the fact that this was seen all over the country on the same night, and not other nights.
"Honest" Government Ad: Anti Encryption Law (2018)
Two weeks ago Rust was the future of embedded systems (it is not) and now it is the future of Game Development (it is not). I'm starting to think that people's opinion shouldn't be taken seriously unless they have like at least 20 years of experience in a particular field.
Ask HN: Is there a software license which acts open, but keeps out mega corps?
I'd like to license my software to maximize availability for average users and small businesses, but I don't want to do free labor for massive $200+ million dollar corporations.

Are there any software licenses out there that achieve something like this? I know there's some legal precedents which make sliding scale approaches difficult, but perhaps someone with strong legal knowledge has found a loophole.

The pensions payouts are simply outrageous. Do the math, you'll see a 60-70% final value pension on 100k salary (60-70k/year) with a 3% cost of living increase (standard in Illinois) is worth 1.8-2.0 million dollars (25 years @ 3.5% discount rate). This is equivalent to having nearly 2 million dollars saved in a retirement account and when you retire, buying an annuity with credit quality equivalent to a promise from a major government (not a junk bond which may become insolvent).

Anyone who thinks that's "fair" really needs a reality check. 600k pensioners in Illinois [1], many of them living out of state, and the ones that live in-state aren't even taxed on their pension income. They also don't have to pay for health insurance. This is simply insane. There's really no other word for it. This needs to be indexed to private benefits or otherwise tethered to reality.

Sidenote. We need a rethink of public service in this country (US). The old bargain of "you get paid less working for the government but the benefits and job security are better" needs to go. Everyone receiving this $2 million entitlement is going to say, well, I work for the government so I deserve my "better benefits". It shouldn't matter if you work private or public sector. There needs to be some equivalence otherwise you get Illinois, where politician after politician promises great treatment to AFSCME and SEIU and to nobody's surprise, no real attempt is ever made to fix this broken system.

I'll argue that using an Android-based tablet with the latest "digital well-being" features are superior to any e-reader. A few things on this worth noting:

- Making notes / taking highlights. The touchscreen navigation is far easier and fluid in making selections. Furthermore, you get an automatic sync to google drive feature

- Indexing: The speed for searching the entire text contents for keywords is much faster and again, a more seamless, non-janky experience

- Lookups: Built in dictionaries are much faster and easier to navigate / dismiss

- Readability: OLED with inverted text and red-light dimming makes for an excellent reading experience, lights on/off

- Distractions: You can limit these with bedtime and focus modes
