My day job is doing embedded rust, with kernels and drivers. It works great.
So I guess since I started this entire thread here is why it even came up: datasette (a tool I use) is something you run locally. In particular this plugin also is pointed at a local checkout of the repositories you're working with.

So for instance in my case I have all the code I work with in ~/Development. Since I also use ripgrep for local development I typically include .ignore/.rgignore files to control what I'm searching around in my repos.

Doing "excludes"/"includes" across a variety of repositories is hard at query time because they layouts of those repositories can be very different. For instance in some JS repos you do want to search in "dist" whereas in others you don't because "dist" gets generated out of "src" for instance and just ends up being a duplicate etc.
Yes, because capitalism always finds ways to monetize, even on things that were thought to be free.
London has plenty of pedestrian crossings, but they're unmarked, at least not in the same way - a stop line for cars before the lights, sure - except for 'zebra crossings', which look different, have different rules (no traffic lights and cars must give way to pedestrians) and would never be called a 'crosswalk'.

I suppose they just don't need to be, because not using one isn't 'jaywalking'. If there's too much traffic you identify a safe crossing by zebra stripes (or flashing beacon) or traffic lights or island.

When reCaptcha first asked me to identify the 'crosswalks', sure, I guessed it must be the road markings. But I just (still, to this day) select all the road markings that aren't obviously just centre direction seperating lines. I might get loads wrong, no idea.
How do you implement a module system?
Mozilla used to pay a salary to a handful of the 200+ folks who make these decisions. And since we operate on consensus, every member of the team must agree. So it’s never been possible for one company to completely control things. This is by design.
> I don't think so? I could be wrong but I thought a major use case (or the major use case) is providing a frontend for your data to other people.

_I_ use datasette and I only ever used it locally or in a docker container. In either case for datasette-ripgrep to work you need to check out the repos you want to search in one folder that datasette will then invoke ripgrep on.

There are folks that publish datasette installations for public consumptions but even in that case I would assume that code search was preconfigured to make any sense with ignore files.
oh, so google cache still exists? It is not visible in search anymore, so I assumed it was dead.
Very sad...A great loss for industry. :(
I don't even understand your comment. Yes, definitely more reliable than crashing randomly when doing about anything for no reason with BSOD, like when plugging peripherals or when one piece of software made the whole OS crash.
That is a very long twitter thread. What in it is a known lie?
Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking your time to do this. Well, i am a asylum seeker currently seeking asylum here in the United States. I came to the US through the border. Upon, arriving to the US, I enrolled in college currently doing my undergrad in computer information systems at Baruch College in NYC. I want to know whether or not my college degree can play a critical role in helping me with my green card process? Thank you

Personally, I believe the key is to reconcile the two. Operate on that fine line that optimizes best for both this being your last day or just one link in an unending chain.

Save money like you'll need it forever, work hard for more money so you can spend it on what you love, and actually spend it, all in balance.

For his 3rd measurement he’s claiming a number with 1/1000000ths of an inch accuracy. Which is the same fabrication standard we use in modern CPUs.
Sounds great if you're short. There's nothing pleasant about that for anyone over 6 feet (1.8 m), I've tried. I'd rather sleep sitting up.
The Design of the Emacs Logo
Maybe it's a vast over-simplification as the article notes, but you cannot get away from the fact that what Mishima did was carry out a right-wing reactionary attempt to incite a military coup against a democratically elected government over what was essentially a culture war.

The kind of person who looks romantically at that disgusts me. we need a Mishima? By all means, be the first to spill your guts and call for a violent military overthrow because radical violence is the answer to the culture-war not going your way. I'm sure the Nazis will be far less willing than the Paris Commune to hijack Zoom, Netflix, Uber Eats and future products of Big Data and AI to keep you singing the party's tune. The only kind of people who look romantically at that kind of violence are the ones who feel it will never touch them, who are so safe they can't imagine the suffering. I'm sure the author feels happy giving Nouveau-Mishima the thumbs up because he tacitly thinks he'll be on the last flight out to watch the fireworks from the safety of a Paris cafe.

Lets say the 'shock' against this 'Last Man' isn't a call from the author for violence and political revolution because the Culture War isn't breaking his way. What's the Nouveau-Mishima supposed to do here? Besides some old man grumbling about "them d*mn kids and their nebulous and scary AI" it's not really identified what exactly we're being complacent in. I'm afraid this feels like more angry impotent pot-stirring mixed with a bit of rehabilitation.

The conservative's "Last Man" seems to come and go every century unabated, and with it the reactionary conservative backlash that oddly only ever seems to seek to turn back the clock a decade or two. We're always so arrogant in thinking that the present is so different than the past.

The sentiment that the world will ever be devoid of struggle to me is naive. The fear of the "fall of struggle" is like fear of the "rise of productivity". We all thought that the rise in productivity would mean less work and thus laziness; instead productivity is sky-high and we're all working ourselves to death. More productivity just means more opportunity for work. Likewise, People are naturally tuned to find struggle and risk, and they will redefine their selves and situations until they have it. Free of our old burdens, we'll just find new vaster ones. If you need the Noble Savage stuff to create art, wisdom, or whatever other product your spoiled mind think society has to produce to have 'worth', it's gonna be there, I promise.
Have you ever used Windows 95?
The character does know drugs well (wouldn't this be more drug knowledge than chemistry?) and interacts with at least two ~trusted chemists regularly. He'd also have many available people to ask for help, including a medical doctor who is definitely in on the plan.

If I had to guess, it probably just worked out better in terms of story and visuals the way it was done. (going from memory, take with salt): the scene with him vomiting up the poison was a nice quirky/mystereous start to the reveal, and having to rush him to medical assistance both added suspense and gave a reason that Mike could be wounded (to add realism) and be treated by the doctor (to not lose the character).
> Getting a job is not like joining a gang or a fraternity where you are first promised a community and good life and then the money is just a formality ...

On that note, there seem to be many tech companies which try to portray working for them as joining a community + good life + money (etc).

To see examples of this, look at almost any tech company's "Careers" page, before it shows open positions. ;)
Mishima's late-life militarism and his death tend to overshadow his early work. Both "Confessions of a Mask" and "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" are masterpieces, and you can see the raw impulses that motivated him, before he sublimated them to a political agenda.
> When I meet someone who knows a lot about something unusual (which includes practically everyone, if you dig deep enough), I try to learn what they know that other people don't.
Oh, it does? I sorta skimmed thorugh and zoned out when it started getting intimate with number sequences, so did a quick search for 'tent' and 'construction' and didn't find anything.

"Targeted surveillance" as a concept, is mainly a relic from a bygone era. If you exist, everything you do is surveilled, both by the state and private interests.
I don't live in Europe. My buddy has an ebike that can go 30mph for 30 miles. I see the same model on the bike path at least a few times a week, often at high speed.

The rules are irrelevant to capability.

I do own a European car, it is happy to go 120mph on the highway, even if that's not legal anywhere in my country.

Let’s see the autopsy
Correct.

I, as many people have, discovered this when something broke in one of the golden regions. In my case cloudfront and ACM.

Realistically you can’t trust one provider at all if you have high availability requirements.

The justification is apparently that the cloud is taking all this responsibility away from people but from personal experience running two cages of kit at two datacenters the TCO was lower and the reliability and availability higher. Possibly the largest cost is navigating Harry-Potter-esque pricing and automation laws. The only gain is scaling past those two cages.

Edit: I should point out however that an advantage of the cloud is actually being able to click a couple of buttons and get rid of two cages worth of DC equipment instantly if your product or idea doesn't work out!
Apple’s M1 MacBook Air Has That Apple Silicon Magic
I experienced this briefly a decade ago, give or take.

Not much of a drinker or toker, I did a bit of both in the company of a friend.

I then vomited all over the bar we were in, passed out, and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

You may know that it is typical for EMTs to assess and keep patient's mind active by asking questions, such as what is your name, today's date, during this type of situation.

Well, high as a kite and simultaneously blackout drunk, I experienced this as a detached consciousness in an endless black void, being questioned about my existence by the voice from the void about who I am.

It was something that stuck with me...

Be nice.

Cultivate positive thinking and keep fear in its place.
Agreed. I’m 5’6”/167cm and the full length of seats will fit me. I’ve been able to fly “poor man’s business class” a few times and found it comfortable on Delta and Southwest without any extra padding.
I'm German and would like to confirm this. How both fascism and communism (in East Germany) relate to (among others) data collection is in the mind of rather many people here, including young people. Sadly tho our leading politicians forgot history already.
>When you recompile code for a new architecture, it usually breaks.

Yeah, then your code is shit and was relying on undefined behaviour.
I meant required of the school.

I think you're vastly overstating the social pressure. It's nothing compared to adolescent pressure to wear the right clothes and ingest the right chemicals. Among adults, the far right wingers get outraged by those who refuse while the far left wingers get outraged by the existence of the pledge. The 70 percent in the middle care far less.
>> this is the wrong problem to solve

Highly intelligent human beings have a natural ability to summarize big ideas into TLDRs. Are humans basically a bunch of "summarizers"? Probably not. Is this ability to summarize or compress big ideas into smaller, more condensed pieces of information, important to the human race? Yes, I would say that they are. So to me, this is certainly one of those problems that we correctly attempt to solve.
Collapsing Page Effect

He made his PhD at Stanford in the nineties and had a company with Bak and others in Palo Alto and still lives there. So no, I don't think that was the reason. And apparently Google values its Zurich location so much that it is constantly being expanded, see e.g. https://www.blick.ch/schweiz/15-jahre-in-der-schweiz-so-sieh.... So obviously it's not just an office.
Fascinating...how did the system behave with multitasking off? I’ve never encountered an OS with such a feature. Closest I can imagine is something like iOS.
According to the anthropologist meme, the answer is always "votive objects".
This sounds very different to the process described in post. Are you raising this anecdote as an argument against the boy scout rule?

I don't think you would find many people who would consider his actions a reasonable interpretation of it. I think this person would cause damage regardless of their motto or underlying intent.

Taking a leaf from the guidelines for person-to-person,discussion on this forum about arguing against the strongest version of your opponents argument: I think there is great value to lots of small improvements over a long period of time (no silver bullet etc). Certainly it should be tempered with the knowledge that the change is indeed an improvement. That can usually only be decided by the person who originally wrote it OR a consesus of the team involved.
Nope. It's just a case of "stop the bleeding before starting the surgery."

was a deliberate choice or just fortuitous, but "rustlings" would be a fantastic term for embryonic new Rust implementations.
Isn't it so that the brain, merely by thinking, can still evoke physiological responses (heartbeat going up, respiration, transpiration) even when locked in? I can't imagine if you're very upset about something, the body wouldn't react in any way.

Ah I see. I didn't know what datasette was.

The way I see doing includes/excludes at query time is this. You run a search without excludes for example. You see a bunch of stuff coming back all in one directory that you don't want for this particular search. So you add an exclude rule for that directory. And then just refine results that way.

If you have a bunch of similarly named directories, then I think that just means that the exclude rules at query time need to be more specific. e.g., use the full path to the directory.

I think the feature being requested here is an interactive feature of the user interface, where as ignore files are more like a static fact of a directory tree.
Euclid's Elements with Highlights
top level should have more to say about the project.
No point in complaining about free beer. Let's just say that this is beyond underwhelming news.
What's interesting is all the sheep coming to say, "Hey, actually I'm an individual!" even tho 1000-ands of times they've shat on individuals and celebrated the collective, even the collective lynching of individuals that were too "divergent" for their fickle and arbitrary collective tastes.

Now, when an "authority" a "leader of a pack" shows up and says "Individual think good", the sheep bleat ever louder, "me good", "no cull".

So ridiculous. You're all (mostly) sheep. Sheep in your condemnation of this celebration of individuality, sheep in the illogic of it, given that you've merrily discarded and excluded individuality for the thrill of "collective righteousness", now, in collective unison you've come to proclaim, either or any of:

- I am individual, I peace

- I am sheep-dividual hybrid but that smart, I peace

- PG is wrong on principle, therefore sheep good, I peace

You are all (commenters against, here) the first morons to leap at passing criticism on anything divergent from your groupthink, embracing this culture of "criticism" as a sacred ritual, but when passed against you, it is the end of the world.

This must evoke the deep unresolved insecurity at the sheep: they know they surrendered that tiny individual voice inside, and they know, on some level, that's wrong, but they need to cover that up with everything they've got, to justify and feed their sense of safety in the comfort of the herd.

Good luck to you, sheep all!

Keep telling yourself, inside, individual good, bad me give it up, and outside, individual bad, good me sheep member. I think you all should accept your duality and just get on with it, and not feel threatened by seeing the realization in other individuals of a mirror (to you) of your own unrealized individuality. Or just accept your whole sheepness, if that's what you are. Accept this paradox and just fully give up your baggage about not being individual "enough", and embrace the collective. Then you will not be so threatened and insecure when someone talks of individuality, you will know, the superiority, of the hoard! "Your individuality shall be merged into our own."

I don't care that y'all sheep. I want you to be sheep. Get out of my way. Stay outta my way. Get away from me. You're disgusting with your crazy illogical groupthink. You'll never understand the free thinkers, so don't try to impose just stay away. I want you to be secure in your collectivism. Because then you won't be so prone to attack the individuals that cross your paths. Be secure. Be confident. I don't care that it seems wrong or illogical to me. There's value in the collective. IF YOU ARE SHEEP, FUCKING EMBRACE IT. Yes, sheep are cowards, but there's literally gathousands of you, so just fucking EMBRACE IT. Surrender to your sheepness, and find, please, your own version of transcendent bliss, so we can all of us get back to being ourselves without interfering in others through triggered projected insecurities sparked from difference. Just be your fucking sheepself, and enjoy it.

You see me outside the herd? Just ignore. Go back to eating grass, and get full belly and feel good. OK?
From the regime which oversaw the deaths of thousands of people in 'care homes' by moving Covid-19 infected hospital patients into care homes, reducing testing in care homes as the plague exploded in March, advising against mask use for care home staff, and that "if an employee becomes unwell and believe they have been exposed to COVID-19 [...] normal practice should continue".[0]

Yes, the same regime that notoriously made the UK a sick joke around the world after openly announcing its preferred strategy of infecting as much of the population as possible with a deadly plague.

Also from TFA:

> The Romans had a foot of 11.664"*. Their pace measurement was 5 Roman feet or 58.32" (4.86'). Their mile was 5000 Roman feet, which would be equivalent to 4860 ancient or modern English feet. The Roman measurements were divisible by 6.

> The ancient English had a foot of 12", a yard of 3', a fathom that was originally 5.5', a rod or perch that was 16.5' (3 fathoms), a chain of 66', a furlong or furrowlong that was 660', a mile of 5280' and a league that was 16500' (3.125 miles). The English overland measurements were divisible by the number 11, as were the ancient Scottish measurements, with their mile of 5940' (1 furlong greater than the English mile).
Idk. But surely, you can't make your point without it, do you? I think success and fame is not an appropriate proxy.
> It took six hundred years for the Romans to reach the same technical level as the Athenians.

When we speak of Ancient Greek technical innovations, we're usually talking about the Hellenism era. That was after Athens had begun to wane as a major intellectual center, and much closer in time to the Romans' ascent in the Mediterranean.

Look at it this way: if Tasmania ceased to exist, CO2 emissions from power generation would increase, because on average Victoria would need to run their coal plants more. That strikes me as a pretty pragmatic definition of "100 percent powered by renewable".

Edit: per comments downthread, perhaps they're actually not quite there yet, but still I think the principle holds if internal generation is exclusively renewable and net imports are negative.
There's a lot of stuff, even if all the humans are working for free, that's expensive about developing Rust. Our CI and CDN bills are massive, and someone has to pay them. Without it, we would not be able to support the platforms that we do, which is really important.
Because if people are paid to do something they can spend their workday doing it, which equates to more man hours put into the project.
My employer is a pretty big spender with AWS. I didn't hear anything about anybody getting status updates from a "Personal Health Dashboard" or anywhere else. I can't be 100% sure such an update would have made its way to me, but given the amount of buzzing, it's hard to believe that somebody had info like that and didn't share it.
