New to Rust, was excited to see Prolog anonymous variables make an appearance. But one thing struck me is the mismatch between variable and function declarations...

let x: i32 = 42;

vs

fn fair_dice_roll() -> i32 { 4 }

It seems the designers missed an opportunity, as the latter could quite easily have been:

fn fair_dice_roll() : i32 = 4;

or

fn fair_dice_roll() : i32 = { ... code that produces 4... }

at the slight expense of giving up the cutesy right-arrow. Maybe i'm just used to Prolog/Lisp code=data syntactic simplicity.

And that's as far as I got as I exited the page scratching my head to write this comment.
Using a direct goto should be faster because of fewer conditionals.

Linear works great on chrome for me, but trying to use it on Firefox, it's hopelessly broken. Clicking 80% of things does nothing.
I think your option of soliciting from one of the developers themselves is the best option, in hind-sight. Both of them have the skills and direct domain knowledge of their own code.

If that fails, contacting another developer who has forked he code and is also supporting the libraries also might work.

I appreciate your advice and comments. Thanks

I'm going to go out on a limb and say less terrible than being addicted to alcohol, meth, crack or heroin. Less dangerous than cigarettes so probably less terrible than a smoking habit too. Probably less damaging financially than a gambling addiction unless you are blowing a shit ton of money on in app purchases.

What things can you be addicted to are LESS terrible than being addicted to your phone?

Improvement of boring things leads to interesting things. When we went from 2G to 3G/4G, we went from images to videos. 10x improvement in data transmission may lead to other forms of media becoming more readily accessible. If what is imagined is just “faster video loading”, that is an awful waste of data.
I have used it to graph large python projects and c++ projects. It is great for visualizing the classes and relationship of classes and functions along with references to all the program elements.

The hardest part for me has been setting up the list of files and folders to scan for the project and trying to eliminate errors. Fortunately you still get useful data depending on the errors.
>That 30% is very much on the high side, and would only be true on something like a single-engine fighter.

...like the F-35? I mean, I don't have any idea at all what the exact percentage is, but that is the apropos isn't it?

>but there are other considerations. Designing an airframe that can handle a 20G turn will actually make it less maneuverable overall, as it requires a heavier structure.

Sure, but 30% heavier? Because if not seems like it would indeed be a win. I don't disagree at all that fighter design is a balancing act, that comes up in quite a few industries that push the edge particularly in aerospace. But fundamentally at least from other industries I am more familiar with there can often be disruptive gains when some single factor changes in a major way since changes so often are compounding. We seem to be on the verge of a big example of that in space with SpaceX and Starship. Far more mass and cadence for radically less money changes design considerations up and down the stack. When every single gram is expensive, it makes sense to use the most expensive materials and components, and as the overall price goes up it makes sense to try to pack in more and more functionality etc etc. When that changes all those effects go into reverse.

We're seeing that directly in fact with Starship development itself. They've got more margin to work with, so they could switch to steel, which is far cheaper and easier to work with, which helps with rapid cadence, which helps with mass manufacturing which further brings down costs, which all helps develop faster and better without bad decisions baked in, which further will help with cadence and ultimate cost, and on and on. The resulting contrast with the SLS program is just staggering. Costs and gains compound on either side for literal orders of magnitude divergence.

I don't know if drones will do the same thing for air superiority, but the potential shouldn't be ignored. And probably won't be indefinitely, because the specter of actual competitive level hostile forces seems likely to focus minds despite lobbying by incumbents. Real world results that grow big enough ultimately can't be papered over.
> Leibniz denies the existence of causation in his Monadology

This sentence is incoherent unless one assumes the denial of causation is bunk, since it makes no sense to attribute either Monadology in general or the specific claims from it being discussed to Leibniz unless he caused the existence of the work, which clearly he cannot have if there is no causation.

How to mark a CVE as invalid or request an update?
I tried the Update Published CVE process, but nothing happened not even a reject, just no answer.
Multiple CVEs where reported to OpenWrt which are invalid, but we (OpenWrt team) haven't found out how to inform Mitre.

For example CVE-2018-11116:
Someone configures an ACL to allow everything and then code executing is possible like expected:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/rpcd-vulnerability-reported-on-v...

and CVE-2019-15513:
The bug was fixed in OpenWrt 15.05.1 in 2015:
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2019-Novem...

For both CVEs we were not informed, the first one someone asked in the OpenWrt forum about the details of this CVE and we were not even aware that there is one. The second one I saw in a public presentation from a security company mentioning 4 CVEs on OpenWrt and I was only aware of 3.

When we or a real security researcher request a CVE for a real problem as an organization it often takes weeks till we get it, we released some security updates without a CVE, because we didn't want to wait so long. It would also be nice to update them later to contain a link to our detailed security report.
So just like any real engineering project? Or am I to really believe that the software engineers here are of some other worldly caliber who build flawless products? The "near-continuous setbacks" are reminiscent of same exact comments on the F-16[1] and the F-18[2] during their development and acquisition cycles. Building things is hard.

Google’s Wing warns new drone laws may have unintended consequences for privacy
My cool-headed long-term-thinking self wants to "eat well, go for a run", but my saturday morning self just wants to sleep in and have a donut. Some of us need some form of accountability structure to help our rational selves prevail over our self-sabotaging hedonist selves.
My understanding is that they have very rarely done this; John Hersey's pulitzer prize winning article on Hiroshima was one of the few other examples of dedicating the entire magazine to a single article. So, "gravity" all the way.

They are not comparable.

Drones are 'slow moving sitting ducks' that can be easily destroyed by an enemy with basic capabilities.

You need 'some degree of air superiority' to use drones.

That could mean extensive electronic warfare or whatever.

But drones, in the way they are used as we see them today ... are easy targets for anyone with capability.

So they are different things.

Now, that said, it still may make more sense for country ABC to buy drones in a lot of cases.

"Shooting down an MQ-1 Predator or an MQ-9 Reaper, the propeller-driven drones most commonly used to kill terrorists in Pakistan, would be child’s play for a Pakistani Air Force pilot. They’re easy to detect on radar, and they fly at about 100 mph—about the speed of a World War I-era bomber. (The Dassault Mirage 5, one of the most common jets in Pakistan’s military fleet, cruises at just under 600 mph and tops out at nearly 1,500 mph.) They don’t normally carry any weapons that could be used in a dogfight, and their lack of maneuverability makes them vulnerable to missiles fired from the ground. " [1]

>That's not debunking ...

That was the point.
> The point of the argument here, from my point of view, is this. In the one to three months between full vaccination of vulnerable individuals and drastically reduced R due to general vaccination,

Not a given. It's very likely, but we don't know how effective the vaccines will be in preventing transmission. Certainly there is past precedent for the opposite.

Also, there's likely to be pockets of population with poor vaccine penetration, so even if it confers sterilizing protection, we're likely to see endemic spread in these subpopulations continually challenging the vaccinated population.

> is a variant of the virus going to appear that will be able to effectively infect vaccinated people and spread enough for the pandemic to continue?

We see a hepatitis B vaccine escape variant every year or two, despite a much lower community disease burden. I don't think anyone can know how likely this is.

> All of this would have to happen in a subset of the population that has a 20x lower chance of being infected and even when that happens,

It's not very likely that the population has a 20x lower chance of being infected; the vaccine almost certainly does more to prevent symptomatic illness than any infection. They've shown a 20x lower chance of symptomatic illness. You're also leaving out the critical window before the first dose where protection (against symptomatic illness) slowly climbs over weeks to 70-80%.

> It would also have to compete effectively against other variants in the non-vaccinated population while it is doing so

Already the currently circulating variants are not equally neutralized by the vaccine. There's going to be immediate pressure making the variants that are least impeded more prevalent.

> unless you believe that these extensive mutations will happen in one, vaccinated, patient, which is pretty much impossible.

Again, the most likely scenario for the emergence for the UK variant is prolonged infection in one person with a low immune response. People like this are well represented in the groups we're immunizing first, too.

These things aren't mutually exclusive, though: you start off by favoring the current variants that the vaccine is least effective against. Then, you have ongoing evolution in vaccinated individuals with lower responses. Then the favored variants become endemic, circulating mostly in subpopulations with lower vaccine coverage and occasionally finding vaccinated people who are more susceptible.

How quickly it all happens depends upon total disease burden. I agree we will probably not get a worst-case escape variant in the first few months of the vaccination campaign, but I think we'll probably see some adaptation towards escape and lowered efficacy. Indeed, you don't even need mutation for that: just preferential selection for existing variants with lower vaccine efficacy.

No one's done the assays on the UK variant yet, but I will not be surprised if the current vaccines are somewhat less effective against it.

If the disease remains endemic with relatively high levels of circulation, variants that escape the current vaccines will be all but certain in the long term.

The line I'm drawing is high-end VFX / CG is still IMO years away from using GPUs for final frame (with loads of AOVs and Deep output) rendering.

Are GPUs starting to be used at earlier points in the pipeline? Yes, absolutely, but they always were to a degree in previs and modelling (via rasterisation). They are gradually becoming more useable at more steps in pipelines, but they're not there yet for high-end studios.

In some cases, if a studio's happy using an off-the-shelf renderer with the stock shaders (so no custom shaders at all - at least until OSL is doing batching and GPU stuff, or until MDL actually supports production renderer stuff) studios can use GPUs further down the pipeline, and currently that's smaller scale stuff from what I gather talking to friends who are using Arnold GPU. Certainly the hero-level stuff at Weta / ILM / Framestore isn't being done with with GPUs, as they require custom shaders, and they aren't going to be happy with just using the stock shaders (which are much better than stock shaders from 6/7 years ago, but still far from bleeding edge in terms of BSDFs and patterns).

Even from what I hear at Pixar with their lookdev Flow renderer things aren't completely rosy on the GPU front, although it is at least getting some use, and the expectation is XPU will take over there, but I don't think it's quite ready yet.

Until a studio feels GPU rendering can be used for a significant amount of the renders (that they do, for smaller studios, the fidelity will be less, so the threshold will be lower for them), I think it's going to be a chicken-and-egg problem of not wanting to invest in GPUs on the farms (or even local workstations).
No, the X-32 lost the competition because it didn't perform as well on several objective measures as the X-35. To the point that very late in the game Boeing tried to switch to a four post tail design and dramatically redesign the wings. But the redesign came too late to be incorporated into their demonstrator aircraft.
Yes, but the work units (frames) are large enough that I'm still surprised.

Maybe they're not as parallelizable as I'd expect. E.g. if there's serial work to be done by reusing scene layout algorithms between frames.
Yeah, fish has great defaults and behaviors that would take a bunch of plugins in zsh to achieve.

Combined with starship.rs, it's super easy to get a very nice shell with no config required.
Anecdotally, my experience is that this is true however I get hungry earlier. So the net result is null.
Thanks for this tip! I've already been running into Defender problems myself.

Must be RAM then, because CPU is easy to prioritize.
"UpWork is primarily low-end, well-understood work like WordPress" - This is what I was alluding to. Most of the Upwork devs only operate in "well-understood" work. Anything custom seems to be beyond them.

Also, Upwork devs never seem to ask questions. I'm flabbergasted tbh. Even the most detailed designs, stories and wireframes require questions to be asked. In my experience, the devs from upwork just plow ahead into the work without asking really any clarifying questions. weird.
I’d bet on legacy code which nobody wants to touch and we’ve all been there. I’d recommend having an option to add a Markdown flag which can be enabled for all new records, leaving the old stuff alone, since this usually comes up in the context of people using GitLab instead because it’s so, so much better for technical work. Once Jira is just links to Gitlab, people start asking what justifies the hefty cost for a tool the team doesn’t use.

> An unmanned combat aerial vehicle would probably win in a dogfight

If by "unmanned combat aerial vehicle" you mean a missile, maybe. Up to a point fighter planes get faster as they get larger. Any "drone" that could go toe-to-toe with the F-35 is going to be around the same size and look roughly the same. But more significantly, the F-35 is a stealth fighter that serves primarily as a sensor platform for long-range weaponry. The premise that it would find itself in a dogfight is not realistic.
This is a CV (résumé) creator aimed at academic types with publication lists.

I wrote it to scratch my own itch, because it’s a bit of a pain keeping this stuff organized so that I can pop out an updated CV when I need one.

You can maintain a collection of CVs with different information, in different styles, for different purposes.

You can enter your publications one at a time, or upload a BibTeX file if you have one.
You can export all your data, including your pubs translated into BibTeX, whenever you want.
You can control what publications are listed on what CVs, and how.

You can share the PDF of your CV using a URL with a hash, that you can “revoke” if needed, or update while keeping the same URL.

It’s a bit complicated, because the job that it does is complicated. But I tried to guide the user with help tips where needed.

Right now it looks like crap on small screens, but it works.

Designed to load fast, with very small downloads. Works without JavaScript, but I use a little to smooth over the interactions.

It uses Django, Postgresql, and XeLaTeX, and a little htmx.

All criticisms or advice welcome!
isn't it true that any form of addiction is bad for you? instead of focusing on the "phone" part, maybe we should think of addiction as any other form of illness and build detection and prevention capabilities in a generic manner? otherwise, we will keep seeing - X addiction is bad, where X can be social media, porn, news etc.

I recently did the following and have never felt better

- deleted (not just deactivated) social media accounts. The only accounts left are LinkedIn, HN and Reddit. (I use them for professional/intellectual reasons so I doubt I will delete them)

- I no longer keep phone next to me while sleeping.

- blocked access to all "news" websites- cnn, fb, twitter

I had been been on journey to digital detox anyways (disabled all notifications everywhere etc) but getting rid of social media definitely felt better than anything else.
This may be the next phase of computing to keep Moore's Law on track. (Yes, I know it's not actually a law.) Flash memory has been using multi-state cells for a decade or more.

I had the 1st two generation Pebbles, and now I'm using a Versa Lite. I do find a lot of resemblance on Pebble. Granted it's not open at all and their 'store' is, to me, much less inviting. Yeah not open source at all.

I read the article, and agree with this summary fwiw.

I would also emphasize that, in terms of personal culpability, Secretary Alex Azar of the Department of Health and Human Services comes out looking very poor. (Mnuchin was also the speaker of some, in retrospect, appalling secondhand quotes).

The article points out that Azar is the director of both the FDA and the CDC, and should have played a more active role in orchestrating their handshakes in February.

Misunderstanding and miscommunication between the FDA and CDC were responsible for the absurd delay in widely-available testing, which otherwise should have been available in med-February.

Not only was he aware of problems early on, he didn't properly communicate them up (to Trump, which contributed to Trump's belief that the whole thing would blow over), or manage them down.

This is my reading, as a disclaimer, not an explicit statement from the article. I recommend people read it for themselves.

The use case is for developers to use their Linux tools with Windows integration. WSL1 only did the latter half well, "traditional" VMs only did the former. WSL2 does both, however that brings both advantages and disadvantages of VMs.
The F-35 definitely looks nicer than the Boeing X-32 did, but F-22 vs YF-23 is more of a tossup, "eye-of-the-beholder" thing. Back during that competition I actually liked the looks of the YF-23 better, but the F-22 won because it was just a better air superiority fighter (YF-23 had no thrust vectoring, not as maneuverable). F-22 has since grown on me aesthetically.
