so, most of the comments seem to be focused on "ooh, here's an edge case where the data is wrong", so... that's not why I'm here.

This is a SUPER COOL PROJECT! Huge accomplishment. I bet you've learned a ton, I hope you'll write a blog post about it at some point.

You should totally add a footer with links to more about you, where you'll write up what you've learned, etc.

For example - I recently did a tiny little project [0] (an hour or two) but I always re-use a footer that has a link to the repo or companion blog post.

I'm more interested in how you built the app than what it does, per se, so help me out by making it easier to follow along with what you're building!

I slip and fall on concrete about once a year, because my brain can never quite remember how "slippery" works after a nice dry summer.

It hurts and I'm stinging for the day, but most of the damage has been to my ego. I'd hardly say it "really, really sucks"

Not saying you're wrong, just wondering why our experiences would be so different. I did martial arts as a kid so I definitely know how to take a fall well, so perhaps it's just a skill?
Warren Buffet has lost his fortune many times over by failing to invest a small high-risk portion of it in Bitcoin since he first heard of it and passed judgement on it. [0]

Most people claiming to understand the technology clearly have little grasp of its wider implications.

Its honestly a bit tiresome to reply to people who say, after 12 years consistent value increase, and a trillion-dollar market cap that its somehow a useless ponzi.

If it is, it's the most successful and self-sustaining ever, and for that alone could well deserve merit even ignoring anything else...

Edit to add:
[0] - Warren Buffet first expressed negative sentiment on Bitcoin in March 2014 (https://coindesk.com/warren-buffet-bitcoin-currency ). The price in March 2014 was ~$550. Assuming a 5% portfolio position in Bitcoin held until now, equates to a 4x overwhelm of the entire portfolio at the time of entry (an 80x increase in value of the Bitcoin portion).
Why has the internet become so pessimistic and political? Because people are so pessimistic and political.

Has it always been like this, or is it getting worse? Yes. Yes, people have always been like this, and it's getting worse.

Why is it getting worse? I think it's because the gain is too high (think of an audio system developing feedback). Before, when you ran into some opinionated loudmouth who wouldn't listen to anything, you walked away, or you just ignored the guy ranting in the bar and talked to your own group. You ran into them in small numbers and in limited interactions. Now, they have a really big microphone, and they can be heard all over the world.

So they encounter others like themselves much more often now - others that they agree with, and others that they don't. The fraction of what we hear that is conversation between such people has gone way up. That's bad enough, but it makes some people who weren't that way think that that's the way to be heard, and they start acting that way. Even worse, some people are genuinely converted, and start acting that way out of the conviction of their new zealotry.

That may not be the only factor at play. It may not even be a correct analysis. But that's what I think is going on.
> Its a a series of pumps, filter and tubes, and that is if we don't consider the tank. All of that is IN ADDITION to everything a normal EV also has.

As if battery powered cars have no pumps, filters and tubes... And a tank is literally just a tank, with no complexity inside it. It allows you reduce the amount of batteries you need to carry by nearly 2 orders of magnitude. This is a significant reduction in cost and complexity.

> Look at this simple design, I'm sure they can't wait until they can finally mass produce it, so easy: https://global.toyota/pages/news/images/2020/12/09/1200/005....

You see a battery in the back, 3 hydrogen tanks, and the fuel cell stack in front. This is in fact quite simple.

> And every car maker disagrees with you that it doesn't cost much.

Most car makers have never even bothered to look seriously at fuel cell cars. The only companies that did think they can make one for the same cost as a Corolla. That should tell you something.

> Maybe in some future it can be built as cheap as you say, but not now. So you would really have to compare it to some future EV as well.

> Fuel cell have been studied for 60 years, and their efficiency is still not good. Li-Ion has made far more progress in far less time and is still improving significantly year over year. Nobody has announced anything close to that in terms of improvement for fuel cells.

> And even if there were such announcements, there is still a long way to go for fuel cells to catch up to current battery tech.

The problem is that you're just stuck in the past. Fuel cells have advanced to the point where they are a disruptive threat to battery electric cars. The notion that batteries have some massive lead is a claim completely at odds with reality. You're going to see cheap, long-ranged fuel cell cars in the coming few years. Due to advances in hydrogen related technology, batteries will lose every single advantage they enjoy, including the ability to refuel at home and cost per mile of driving. That is a big problem that battery powered cars will face.
Every single word of that description is intangible.
It never made sense. Hitler (yes, sorry to go there) also thought that homosexuality was genetic, which is why it made sense to him to mass murder homosexuals.

Something being genetic/inherent has very little to do with whether it should be viewed as morally acceptable.

Of course, I am well aware of how troublesome it is to find empirical grounding in morality, but it always seemed to me that sexual relationship between two consenting partners was nobody else's business, least of all mine. Choice, genetics, curiosity, etc: what difference does it make?

I am about as "straight" as it comes: I for the life of me can't figure out the sexual appeal of men, but it also isn't at all obvious to me why I should be offended by the idea that there are people that think otherwise. And even if tomorrow Casanova came out and decided publicly that he is making a conscious choice to from now own only sleep with men, after decades of sexual adventures with women--well, what difference does it make?
What we should respect it what is not harmful. Hate and homophobia are oppressive and destructive. People having sex is not. So some things deserve to be fought and limited whilst the other does not.

> Almost all of Asia and Africa accepts that requiring conformity in voluntary lifestyle and personal expression is legitimate.

Everyone has a right to not be executed or go to jail for their sexual orientation or gender identity. This is sadly not the case in many countries.

The sand trap of moral relativism is not the point - people in the 'west' are making the normative claim that this is a fundamental human right.

New information about possible genetic determinants of sexual orientation (or lack thereof) is not fundamental to determining if this is in the "realm of human rights". What is key is: people who are LGBT emphatically cannot choose to 'convert' to some other sexual orientation or gender identity. Thus, any private or public policy that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is wrong.
Microsoft does not have a consistent internal stack nor is anyone "encouraged" to use .NET. I don't know where this idea that Microsoft's online services all use .NET, for example, my team which delivers a large service as part of a top-level Azure offering is mostly all Go.
Was this a social engineering attack wherein the attacker convinced an operator to work certain controls ?

Certainly it is not conceivable that the controls themselves were connected to a network, right ? RIGHT?

Why make the Rust Foundation be its own corporate entity, instead of a project within another major non-profit like the Software Freedom Conservancy?

(For those not familiar, SFC is the home of Git, Godot Engine, Homebrew, Inkscape, QEMU, and Wine.)

My worry would be that this is happening because Amazon, Google, and Microsoft want control over the foundation. (They are writing the checks, so no surprise they'd want to control how that money gets invested…)
There are other industrialized nations besides those in Europe, some with population much bigger the the US? Hence my use of the word large. I was thinking more of China, India, Russia, Brazil.
Sometimes you get what you pay for. Personally I would not want my data managed by a company that doesn't even have a team page or mailing address (let alone security details) and appears to be using a Bootstrap template for their website.

Sending data to other programs in the same computer too. Example:

1. Download pictures from camera. You need a program to transfer them somewhere you can find them.

2. Choose 12 of them to make a calendar for next year (OK, let's assume we're already in November). You need a program to view them.

3. Edit them with your favorite. Save as copies, not to overwrite the originals.

4. Upload them to a web service using a browser.

A file system is useful to support all of these steps. Android's share to other apps kind of hides the file system but it doesn't succeed 100%. Sometimes no app registered to handle some file type and we end up picking the file in a file explorer interface. Sometimes we even have to know where that app stores its files. My most usual case for this are the gpx files of OsmAnd, when I transfer them from the small phone I use as tracker to my main phone.

They both (in this case):

1. are at least a little bit wrong.

2. Never use FLET or LABELS

I think we can rule out #2. Function capture is a legitimate problem that does (admittedly rarely) happen in real-world code.

The thing that makes writing hygienic macros possible in CL today is the package system. It's disallowed to rebind functions from the CL package, so if your macros only rely on non-exported symbols from your package and symbols in the CL package, then you are free from any hygiene problems that aren't caused by code that is clearly bad locally (that is code that binds internal symbols of other packages; any "::" in use should be immediately flagged by a code review.)
'Selling Cars' doesn't quite describe what Tesla does such as saying apple is just a phone designer. They are both selling platforms that are very much software and technology driven. Tesla app store and gaming console isn't a car. Developing 30 times cold rolled steel casting with a unibody design is definitely some next level manufacturing as wekk,
Not really- it’s incredibly rare for this to happen - looking at Wikipedia the only newly domesticated species in over a century are some silver foxes in Russia as part of a scientific research program, and pet hedgehogs in the USA.

> truly high performance requires tuning your code to linux, to the network interface cards, and a deep understanding of what your code is doing

With absolutely no snark intended: what alternative do you see (or imagine) to this? Applying quite a bit of mechanical sympathy to tune a program to the system and visa versa seems essential and inescapable.
>WIW, there is no reason you shouldn't still be a Free Speech absolutist (I still am) so long as you don't fall for the disinformation that Free Speech means freedom from social consequences.

These days I see less and less (speaking in terms of justifications and arguments) going for the idea that free speech is an unfettered good in itself - especiall when it very clearly runs up against the principle of liberal egalitarian philosophy. I find it very hard - if not impossible - to be a liberal egalitarian in the context where hate speech and inegalitarian pornography (yes, we can talk about what those terms mean) are allowed free reign in the public discourse.

Google uses time-on-page as an important signal. If you could just open the page and instantly see the info you're seeking, the page won't rank.

That's why all these garbage sites hide the information under a huge pile of useless text.
The implications of such a thing could have been terrifying and tragic. Goes to show that you should never be overconfident about or underestimate the security of your computer systems. Especially if you are a critical government agency. I hope they've learned their lesson about having a cybersecurity plan and system backups in place, instead of hubris. They avoided the consequences this time, but next time it could be too late.
You and I agree it’s a human right, and the reason why. I said its a human right because it's a "characteristic that cannot easily be changed." You said it's because "people who are LGBT emphatically cannot choose to 'convert' to some other sexual orientation or gender identity."

If there's a difference between that phraseology, I don't mean it to be substantive--I agree with what you said. It's OP who rejects that premise.
Right, but, what does it all mean?

How is including Huawei as a founding member of the Rust Foundation in any way justifiable from a moral perspective?

Using advanced technology to enable genocide.[0]
Employee intimidation.[1]
Disinformation campaigns.[2]
Threat to the security of the free world.[3]

Genuinely curious here. Puzzled, even. It's not as if these points are lost the people involved. Perhaps it's part of some larger plan that means well.

Rust has always been about diversity and inclusion. That's great. Including a company that's essentially beholden to its authoritarian government—a government that's actively pursuing genocide using Huawei's own tools—simply strikes me as antithetical to the Rust I knew.

I had a big problem with his interview. It does not mention bitcoin's reliance on "demand".
If you look at bitcoin as a closed system and realize that money that goes in also goes out. The cash from your bank account is transferred to early adopters and used to pay for the huge electricity bills. It does not get stored. It is not there. You cannot get it out. Unless you find a greater fool to buy some bitcoin at higher price. You cannot find greater fools forever, so bitcoin as a system is unsustainable. When people stop believing there will be someone to relieve them the price will go up they stop buying.
When that happens and money stops coming, the doors are shut and you are stuck with worthless bitcoin.
Yet those are never in the MSM. It seems like the only reason we talk about crypto is because BC is in the news. If it wasn’t BC triggering the news maybe we could have more interesting crypto discussions.

Futures Tools by a Futurist
In the INCORRECT alt world where being gay is a choice? The implication is that gay parents would demonstrate parenting that encourages gay children. spiraling into some stupid ideas about feedback loops which can't be supported by real world data because this isn't a real thing. The real world just can't be explained by plausible mechanics with homosexuality secretly being a choice without some fairly extreme side effects.

Imagining it were a choice has so many additional implications, which, while dumb, are genuine fears of some conservative worldviews, but I guess would be real problems. Frustrating, circuitous logic.
So is "free energy" and "cancer cure". Of course Bitcoin's intangibility has tangible benefits this very second, those others do not.
I built a tool that generates personal code coverage reports from general test code coverage and repo inputs. IE what is the code coverage on lines I wrote this sprint and lines I wrote ever.

It stores blame coverage data in an sqlite db and generates static html reports for easy deployment. It handles TS/JS (lcov) coverage natively (I have to parse the files with SWC to figure out what lines are parseable). It has to dish out to a small jar to extract jacoco coverage.

It takes about an hour to do the initial data population and can generate an report and update test infor in 5-10 minutes for a roughly 600K loc codebase. Sadly it's closed source at work.

I'd been kicking around the idea in my head for a bit, and when I got the go-ahead from my boss I was able to bring it to completion fast enough to surprise my boss.
I... I didn't get a 500 the first try. Unintentional joke?
The foundation works for its board members. We can hope that the board members will work for Rust, but the structure of the board does nothing to check their power and influence.

On the other hand, I do recognize that the board members are the ones bringing the funding to the table; maybe this was the best way to maximize their contributions. If the board's interests align well with the Rust community's interests, then this could turn out fine, at least at first.
