I hear quite a lot of complaints from all sorts of people about their economic victimhood. I've got complaints myself about what global economics are doing for our prospects as a species.
Ha! didn't notice the snark on my first read. What can I say? Just come here and take a walk ;)

I wasn't as clear as I'd like to have been. I agree that sane suicidal people exist. I don't believe it's surprising that people assume that suicidal people are not sane - the heuristic is accurate and helpful for those who need help.

Edit:

I feel compelled to add a qualification to what I've posted.

If anyone thinks they are rational and suicidal: I don't believe you. Self-harm is an emotional behavior. Our brains are designed to help us lie to ourselves when we're emotional. The odds that you are the one philosopher in an arbitrarily large crowd of people who's needs aren't being met is incredibly slim.

I didn't say it's too low abstraction to appeal to C++ programmers; Rust and C++ (and Ada, and Zig) have the same level of abstraction. I'm saying that Rust should seriously fight for the market C++ was able to actually carve out, rather than the market C++ dreamed it could have when it first gained traction. Doubly so because Rust is starting at a disadvantage compared to what C++ had: C++ already exists, and many people already know that a language that looks high-level but isn't, doesn't have the same maintenance costs as actual high-level languages. If it doesn't focus, what will happen is that it won't capture enough C++ people, and instead, it will get many people who didn't learn C++'s lesson, who will use Rust for some years and then abandon it -- just as happened to C++ -- and then it will be left with not much; it will have too little of the C++ market and too little of the applications market.

If there's anything we can learn from programming languages -- be they C, C++, Ruby, PHP, Haskell, or Java -- riding the hype-train led by PL enthusiasts and early-adopters is not a good recipe for long-term success (even if it is a good recipe for long-term hype). Like with fashion (and I think HN is more like GQ or Vogue than actual industry news; i.e. it is more aspirational and inspirational than descriptive or prescriptive), the languages people talk about and those they actually use for many years are usually not the same.

I was interested in that aspect of the story when I clicked into it, but I'm not really disappointed that it wasn't covered. Turns out it wasn't really the point anyway.

That said, he could easily have a generator rigged up to supply power. A lot of RVs have on-board washers and dryers, so the technology is widely available. If I were going to do something like this, I'd try to find dryers that heated with propane both for efficiency and to limit the electrical draw on the generator.
Cookies are not the problem here. They don't need consent for cookies, but for tracking. And if you were to block cookies, they can still track you with a lot of other fingerprinting technologies - and would again ask you for consent for that.

I recommend enabling the EasyList Cookie blocking list in the adblocker of choice (i.e. uBlock Origin). Its not enabled by default, so check your settings (Edit: This will block the consent popups, not the cookies).
Feels like they really jumped the shark pretty quick and I just started hearing about them.

My cousin and I were both Civ fanatics in our younger days.

We started playing a game via email and it's been fantastic. It hits all of the sweet spots:

- Playing a favorite game

- Playing with a relative/friend who also loves the game

- The async nature of email means we can play when we have time since we both have jobs and families

- The slow playing forces you to really stop and think about each turn

Highly recommend it.

This is effectively how the US built up the industries of Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.

The reason these countries were allowed to do it where others are not was because the US wanted strategically placed powerful allies in the region.

There probably wouldn't be a Japanese electronics/car industry, for instance, if the Soviets hadn't spooked the the US in the 40s.

I'm not sure I follow the argument. Surely Ghana could sell some cocoa to Switzerland, while at the same time building their own chocolate brands. Maybe reduce your export, but keep a strong influx of money and at the same time invest in your own line of products.

I think it’s good to see raw producers start working up market to make their own chocolate. I think a Ghanaian chocolate brand actually owned by Ghanaians and made for export would market very well.

It’s interesting to me how much tasty and interesting stuff in Africa has not been marketed internationally and there’s lots of room for them to grow and develop.

For example, fonio [0], is a grain native to west Africa that I’ve never seen in the US but was eaten every day when I was there, as common as rice. It’s gluten-free and could be the next quinoa and a great opportunity to develop a new brand and export finished products rather than just commodities.

One of the big opportunities of all this digitization, I think, is that it’s now easier for remote locations to get more value out of their commodities than just exporting raw and having someone else add most of the value.

I’m surprised the Swiss aren’t trying to do more joint ventures to develop chocolate making capabilities in Ghana.
There’s also been meaningful discussion of this on /r/rust in the last day, well worth reading:

https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/m7seki/the_biggest_th...

General consensus both here and there is that the article is pretty roundly wrong, but that it’s probably still worth discussing a bit, largely to contemplate where this (mis)perception came from and what can be done to improve it.
Other points are already addressed in different comments, but to address this one:

> Ghana doesn't have all of the layers of industry necessary to support development and export of products i.e. there are no market buyers at any reasonable price.

Per the article, they literally control half of the world's cocoa. This means they get to define what "a reasonable price" is, as long as the rest of the world wants to keep its chocolate plentiful.

I'm not a politician or economist - but to me, it seems obvious the plan here is to bootstrap domestic cocoa processing industries, get the current exporters to sell cocoa to domestic producers, and export processed products (like chocolate). They're not going to just stop cultivating cocoa - being in control of half of the supply of raw materials for a highly prized product is their one big leverage on the international market.

As to not having the necessary industry base to pull it off - the question is, how fast can they build one? I'd guess a couple of years, if no foreign powers try to make it hard for them.
It is beyond my comprehension the unbelievably large portions of intelligence and clear thought that is "hidden" away in obscure places like that in question here. Some people really just want to put their obviously enormous brains to work tinkering on things almost no one will appreciate.

If as a human C compiler you unrolled a loop, that would be performant, but because you're space limited you do not unroll the loop and that is (memory) efficient.

Lets say you had a 6x8 character cell or a really small sprite for graphics, unrolling the loop would make a copy about 2x faster but would cost about 40 bytes or so.

To me, the sentiment seems to be that Rust is explicitly tailored for code that cares about no runtime overhead. If you don't have those requirements, then don't use Rust.

This is why I reach for Go by default when writing CLI tools. You will get your job done faster, and it will be much easier to understand and maintain. You will be trading off many of the static guarantees that Rust gives, but it's worth it for CLI tools, most of the time.

If you are writing code with strict performance requirements, then consider Rust. Otherwise you'll likely be adding a whole bunch of complexity for not much gain, and your code will require much more cognitive overhead to understand and contribute to.
But the problem is that they have the same delay, whether you opt in or out.
Of course it's ridiculous, but you can wait until Apple does release a Linux version (Hint: won't happen) or use the tools that are available. If you are so keen on using free software, the iPad is not the device for you.
WSL is Linux. They run the unmodified Linux kernel in a pico-process an docker runs on top of that.

It is plausible that there could be an initially 256-byte program that is self-expanding, as in, it generates more code as it runs, gradually increasing the complexity of whatever it's doing.
Yeah, the only problem is that sometimes it is not clear that a site is broken, when just some parts are omitted, like a search bar.
The reason is that the product is Windows 10 as a whole.

Linux Distros are just bundles of software that make up the operating system.

So if your compromise is that you don't want new Windows 10 updates because they also bundle in new features rather than using an OS like linux, then it'd be your fault if you get hacked via an exploit that was patched in an update.

Microsoft aren't going to care.

I don't know much about real world cases related to sketchy mental conditions.

Pitch Deck for Seed Rounds
Here is a source, but it's not aggregated: https://www.euthanasiecommissie.nl/uitspraken-en-uitleg .

Brazil undertook a similar project and moved the capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960.
This was a big mistake.
Brasilia is like giant robot very far away from the people and with no connection with society. Brasilia has the highest income per capita in Brazil and it doesn't produce anything.
Rio Janeiro, the old capital, was left with no alternative and has been decaying ever since.

"With Ghana’s move towards processing its own cocoa, the world, and not just Switzerland, will experience a massive shortage since Ghana is responsible for about 45% of the world’s cocoa."

That seems like bigger news than the headline.
Yes, this was on Oracle site when downloading Java (don't know it its there still). The thing had a progress bar when 'processing' cookies. Always made me wonder.
How does it work with local directories? Is there a separate file system for WSL, or does the linux kernel translate windows fs paths or something?
But some countries already have this and there's no evidence of this happening. It's the same thing time and time again, for example, gay marriage, abortion, etc. etc. For some reason we are unable to see outside of our countries where it's successfully implemented, but we'd sure as hell take notice if there was the smallest issue.

The fact is for me, I'd rather that it's available and legal for those that want it even if the sad reality is, someone, someday will abuse this.

GDPR is three years old.
In theory it can:

How should a Transparency & Consent String be stored?

In version 1 of the TCF Specifications the consent string was specified to be stored as either a 1st party cookie for service-specific consent or a 3rd party cookie for global consent. In version 2 of the TCF Specifications, the storage mechanism used for service-specific TC Strings is up to a CMP, including any non-cookie storage mechanism. However, global TC Strings must still be stored as cookies under the consensu.org domain.[0]

Pretty much no website uses it.

The first response will probably be for the chocolate producers to try to source the raw materials from other sources. This may or may not result in production ramping up elsewhere, or even new producers appearing as increased prices could make production financially viable in places it previously wasn't.

Depending on how the markets react, prices may go up, and many of the really cheap brands could disappear from the shelves, or just have their fat/sugar contents increased. There's also a non-zero chance that new African brands will grab a part of the low-end of the market, with protectionist measures implemented to respond to them.

Capital punishment is driven by vengeance. If we are talking about protecting potential future victims, it does absolutely nothing that life in prison doesn't do.

I sincerely doubt that in the moments before committing a crime that could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty, many perpetrators say to themselves "well I'm going to go ahead and do it because while I might end up in prison for the rest of my life, I won't have to worry about the death penalty." In many, many places, the death penalty would be the easier way out.
