The point is not to be "easy;" environments that value being easy are environments that encourage bugs. The whole ethos of Rust is safety and thoroughness. True, it's not as user-friendly, if your definition of user friendly is "runs at any cost." If instead however you take the definition as "allows you to easily write programs that work right," it is probably one of the easiest languages.

You speak of "unnecessary complexity" like the complexity was just pulled out of thin air for the purpose of making Rust harder; no, the complexity is inherent to building a functioning application, the difference is whether it lives in your head or it lives in the compiler. Personally I'd rather the compiler handle things like bookkeeping, moving memory around, checking that the types and cardinalities are right, and ensuring errors are handled rather than repeatedly having to debug those things at runtime in an extremely slow and punishing feedback loop.
What's wrong with Monday?
The most extraordinary thing here is not only it’s being done, but it’s being done in a proprietary way.

The surface of the AmigaOS is tiny in comparison with any modern system. It’s surprising nobody took a free RTOS and built an Amiga API on top of it, enough to fool Amiga software into being compiled for modern hardware and run directly on real Amigas.
Cheating only matters from the credentialing side of college, not from the learning component. I'm not arguing there is no room for credentialing, just that cheating isn't really important when it comes to learning.
From Zero to Prod with NixOS
I'm thinking about writing a guide of how to use NixOS in production starting from scratch.

I come from a background of not being an ops person at all, and so from not knowing anything about systemd, user permissions and the like. I liked the idea of NixOS, but when it came to the moment of setting up a production system to try it, basically it was 6 months of looking at posts and trying to understand how all the pieces fit together. I would like to write a book that goes through all the steps you might need in setting up a production system and explains along the way why these are for. I'm leaning toward writing a guide for baremetal. Basically it's not that hard to manage baremetal machines with nix once you have a bit of knowledge. Of course the performance and price benefits are significant.

Here is the outline of what I would like to write.

Installation (The documentation covers the basics, but here cover things like ZFS, raid setup)

Managing your system with flakes

Create a non root user, why and how

Managing secrets

Setting up a database

Making backups

Deployments

Going through a web service example

The idea being to give a simpler onboarding process to try nixos on production, and to explain along the way concepts that can be interesting (e.g. what is ZFS and why should I care about it)

I'm thinking of going through the following process.

Offering support and influence on the end product in a paid tier (through patreon or the like). Meaning after I write a chapter, submit it to the paid supporters, help them go through their issues, modify the content that is too vague then release it in an open repo in some kind of git book format. The end result should be open to help the community at large.

Feel free to signal

- if you are interested in the idea but not convinced that this is the right way to do it

- dm me if you are interested in support for this.
This looks a little like inline in F# where it allows more generic method cases than standard generics do in C#/Java. Looking at the documentation I'm wondering does it allow things like - "any input type that supports the divide operator"? It's a feature I've appreciated previously when writing high performance math code on the .NET side.
Your parents might be alright, but I've heard a lot of horror stories where parents sell, give away or trash people's old computers.

Arizona has a very long semiconductor industry history:

https://www.chipsetc.com/semiconductors-in-arizona.html

"The state of Arizona has been home to many semiconductor & electronics manufacturing Companies since the 1950's, including the SouthWest's Pioneer Semiconductor Company - Motorola. Motorola's research and development lab in Phoenix introduced the world's first commercial high-power germanium-based transistor in 1955. The lab would expand over time to become Motorola's semiconductor division and by 1960 they would have three manufacturing sites in the Phoenix area."

"Intel corp., Arizona's 7th largest employer, started up their Fab 6 & Assembly Test facility in Chandler back in 1980, and their 720-acre Ocotillo Fab 12 site in 1996."

It might be because a global pandemic is assumed to depress people's spirits, which isn't what we'd expect to increase productivity. So we rely on our intuition for directionality?

Should be studied more, but wouldn't you be surprised to know that the pandemic itself (stress, isolation, deferred medical care, etc.) caused an increase?
Or the long term symptoms are mostly nocebos, and/or the only reason they are regarded as having one cause instead of many (as well as symptoms they would have gotten anyway) is that the person in question knows about "long COVID", or a combination of those and possibly even something that's really causally related.
For what it's worth, Starlink is fulfilling beta orders in Arizona, New Mexico, and continental Europe, so it's much more than "northern US" by now.

I'm not sure that I agree. I think stack manipulation is the most elegant idiom available given the constraints that FORTH is working with. The values and variables features seem to introduce unwanted coupling, and complicate the language's underlying model.

Of course it goes without saying that most FORTH code should not contain low-level stack manipulation. But most useful stack operations can be abstracted quite readily, and this kind of abstraction is a meaningful part of FORTH idiomatic style.

I worked at a company that created a team of people to go in and actively make jira worse. Of course that's not what it was envisioned as, their actual job was to make jira fit the stakeholders requirements and buiness processes we had.

However, sometimes your crappy 60 person company doesn't know what's best. If jira didn't have the ability to make it crap it would be a better product and people would update their processes or maybe just try not to smush existing ms CRM workflows into a tool for devs.
> Correct. That is why the threat model of the information owner is what determines what a site serves. Information owners generally do have a threat model in mind. It is, after all, their information, their website, and their security policies that matter.

Except it's often the user who is on the hook for the risk. You mustn't outsource your threat model to someone who doesn't necessarily care about you. Unless you're a sufficiently qualified security expert to be able to judge whether this instance is safe, the only reasonable policy is to never connect to a http website (or one that uses cloudflare, since they offer fake https to their customers).
Don't forget Total Asshole Compression!

TAC* is the best compression format available for the web today! By using revolutionary scientific methods, research teams at RSG and the Beige Programming ensemble were able to a compose a complex software tool that expels many of the myths that surround modern file compression techniques. The secret of TAC compression is not that it makes files smaller, but that it makes files bigger, much bigger.* This provides the end user with a compression tool to meet almost any need in today's bandwidth and gig overloaded computing world.

Honest truth - our developers don't like it.

Very DIY. You can build great workflows if you put the effort in. Brilliant reporting, main reason we adopted.

Clubhouse for example gives the agile structure (epics, stories etc) by default and you conform to it. Minimal setup effort.

None of these arguments in this article contradict anything if you understand basic logic and reasoning in a time of crisis and learning.

What don’t people understand about the word novel? It’s unknown. Every bit of guidance was presented in the form of “from what we understand right now”.

Literally the article “dont wear mask” quote points out that they were making the recommendation based on concerns of shortages, for healthcare professionals.

We spent the first 3 months of more hearing of shortages of everything.

Science isn’t absolute, it’s based on observations. It was a new virus with little known, so of course the guidance was going to continually change as more information was gathered and confirmed.

He considers people useless baggage because of how they were born? What are you basing this claim on?
They're not talking being judged by the employees. They're talking being judged by the other shoppers.

Imagine being a foreign tourist to America, going into a middle-American Wal-Mart — one far away from places where any tourists would ever bother to visit. Some American dudebro wandering through the aisle asks you a question (in English), and then gets pissed off when they realize that you don't speak English, and starts berating you and wondering out loud what his town is coming to.

The social-anxiety expectation for the experience of shopping in a small neighbourhood ethnic grocery store, is the projected reverse of that: the shoppers there seeing you there bumbling about,
unable to pronounce any of the names of the items, and responding by wondering angrily in $language what their district-of-the-town is coming to, i.e. when their nice little ethnic enclave community got so gentrified/whitewashed that "people like that" started showing up.

(Despite being white, it's the racist American dudebro part of this that I've experienced before, second-hand, while taking my (non-white) partner on a trip to show them a more-rural area I used to live in. That was an experience I don't want to repeat.)
And whatever happened to Apple who refused to work with FBI on the San Bernardino shooter but here is only happy to comply in a much less interesting case?

> Developers make mistakes. Developers don't always have completely up-to-date knowledge...

Fair enough. Yet, there are literally many thousands of fully competent, up to date C++ developers for each person who ever so much as compiled a hello.rs. (Probably the majority of the latter are among the former.) By 2030, under the absolute best-case scenario for Rust, there will still be literally millions of times as much C++ code as Rust code to maintain and improve upon.

> The Rust compiler will not allow you to do unsafe things ...[without] an unsafe block ...

In other words, the Rust compiler will allow you to do unsafe things with the addition of 8 characters. The temptation to that varies.

> The entire point of "correct by construction[...]" is that you cannot write the code in an incorrect way

The C++ language provides a comprehensive type system that enables the compiler, with well-engineered libraries, to prove correct use of types the libraries define. This depends on library designers taking up the mantle that the Rust compiler takes for itself. As they do.

But you need competently constructed libraries anyway, in Rust as much as in C++. Many demands are placed on library designers and implementers. Ensuring that only correct usage compiles (absent "unsafe") is not among the most difficult of those demands.

Rust will not save the world. That would be asking too much of it. There is no substitute for competence. Rust is not one.

C++ improves on a strict three-year cycle, and new C++ code can be demonstrably better, by any measure, than was possible for old code. To the degree that Rust and modern C++ can displace C, Java, and bad old C++ code, both can contribute to a better future world. Rust will not displace C++ in any plausible future, but not displacing C++ will not mean Rust has failed.
Dear Mr S. Amat MA (N),

You raise a good point. I've had a few emails addressing me 'OJ' Ford, which is beyond reasonable in hindsight, just not something I foresaw or that anyone's ever called me in person! Perhaps I unwittingly contributed to that by registering my username mildly against the cultural grain.. :)

They go into this in the paper; it sounds like they have a quite granular level of detail here:

> The data also include information on hours worked, our primary input measure. This is measured in a sophisticated way, as the analytics software takes into account whether an employee actually engages in a relevant task (which counts as work time) or merely procrastinates at their desk (not counted), by monitoring which software tools the employee uses. Our key outcome measure is Productivity, output divided by hours worked. Thus, in contrast to studies of productivity during WFH based on surveys, our outcome variables are based on relatively objective analytics and monitoring data.

> Moreover, our data include (for a subset of employees) how time was allocated to various activities. That includes meetings, collaboration, and time focused on performing work without distractions. It also includes information on networking activities (contacts) with colleagues inside and outside the firm. Finally, we have data on employee characteristics such as age, experience, tenure at the company, gender, whether or not there is a child in the home, and an estimate of commute time during WFO

This sounds overall quite invasive, so at least from the description, they claim to be able to tell the difference between "an hour logged into slack doing household tasks" and "an hour working with 100% focus on a task".
Is this really a primary concern? Most of their main fabs are in Taiwan, which is very seismically active.
I'm finishing this (no XUL tough), but the first impl(developer language) is in Swift. But the runtime the Swift access is pure C shims, so any other language can benefit from it.

If anyone is interested, it would be much easier to create those bindings to Rust. I'm super interested (and i would probably create a Rust SDK anyway) and there's a lot of other bonuses that neither Electron or Tauri can offer (as i target it not to be "just" a web-based app platform, but something that also had the soul of web browsers, by forming networks, addresses, etc).

If anyone is curious, there is more disclosure in another answer on this same thread.

i would love to give new all of those cool new languages that need a platform to thrive: Rust, Zig, Crystal, (and while not new) Python, a chance to have a 360 ecosystem, so we can stop being hostage of just Javascript being used.. and no, WebAssembly is definitely not it, as in the end it will give Javascript access to FFMPEG and the likes making it more prominent and ubiquitous
Meanwhile I use both a 1080p display and a 1440p display (Both Dell displays) with zero issues on macOS Big Sur.

I get no odd behavior, both monitors are always detected nor do I see artifacting or anything other issue. There was some minor pink lines on the boot up screen that have since been fixed in the latest release. (M1 Mac mini)

I can't really say I noticed a difference personally since they removed text aliasing on 1440p or lower, however it's a single toggle to turn back on.

I get zero mouse lag with differing resolutions and I use both a Magic Mouse 2 and a Magic Touchpad 2.

anecdotes are always going to differ.
As you said it is circumstantial, it could be that that there were more exchanges of (truly) sensitive information between Manafort and Kilimnik (they used encrypted communication) and that Kilimnik does in fact have GRU access (or is GRU himself), or everything could have been orchestrated by Putin himself to put Trump into power, I don't know that, but that needs to proven.

But doesn't X amount circumstantial evidence together prove collusion? Not necessarily, you still need to weigh each circumstantial evidence.

Lets take the WikiLeaks example, assume that it is 100% true that it was the GRU that was feeding WikiLeaks with the stolen documents. Trump campaign benefited from those leaks and Trump encouraged WikiLeaks to do more, does this prove Russian collusion? No. There is no proven coordination between the Trump Campaign and GRU via WikiLeaks. GRU could have played on these events during the 2016 election and used that to benefit the candidate they would prefer, assuming Trump. Putin is on the record for criticizing the US interventionist policies, policies that Clinton represents, and they could have used this opportunity to help the Trump campaign and the Trump campaign gladly accepted this opportunity to get an advantage, but I would say that should be viewed as interference from GRU, not collusion with the campaign.

That is why the claim from the Senate report that "Kilimnik may have been connected the GRU's hack" is interesting, but the report doesn't provide any evidence only speculation on redacted material. That is of course impossible to asses the truthiness of.
> > - I've never booted to a black screen when upgrading macOS.

> My wife got bit by the Big Sur bug, 2 weeks ago, were the installer doesn’t check if there’s enough disk space available before starting the upgrade.

It can get even worse than that. The Big Sur update "bricked" my MBP, along with many others, because a firmware update broke a part. Apple wanted $500 to replace the mainboard, I fixed it by replacing the broken "i/o board" with a $5 part from ebay and like 30 minutes of work.

Given that this is the only Apple computer I've ever owned, it's understandable that unlike the grandparent I don't have the highest opinion of Apple's work. Ironically, nothing like this has ever happened on Linux to me.
The article title and within the article clearly state "60x faster charge" which still means a hypothetical 315 miles of range until which point they also claim "60x more battery capacity."
What would happen if the bank accounts paid interest and the trust wanted to share some of that interest with holders? I think the answer would either be some complicated stock-split-like mechanism, or just have, say, USDC-fixed as the “true” coin and USDC quoted at a floating value to the former such that e.g. 1 USDC-fixed = 1.01 USDC, and creations/redemptions of USDC-fixed happen at $1.01 to capture a compounded interest of 1%

TikTok really is incredible. I don't do much in the way of social media, but it's better than any other big app I've ever used.

You didn't understand my example. This isn't about spectral ringing. It doesn't matter if you have zero spectral ringing, and no amplitudes above 1. There is no way to have a sharp filter that removes (or almost removes) certain frequencies, even if it has zero spectral ringing, while guaranteeing it doesn't increase peak levels in the time domain. The filter will decrease the total energy of the signal, but a decrease in signal energy can still cause an increase in peak levels. This is because the addition of a frequency component can decrease peak levels by lining up with the existing peaks in such a way, and thus removing it can conversely increase peak levels.

Just punch sin(x) + 0.2sin(3x) into a graphing calculator, then remove the 0.2sin(3x) component and look at peak levels increase. No filter can fix that without also decreasing the sin(x) component significantly to compensate.
> It is created by governments and its value is driven by taxation.

How does taxation drive value? Which taxation? There are governments that don't charge income taxes, there are governments that don't charge property taxes, there are governments that don't charge sales taxes.
Counterpoint: Having a filter and not oversharing every fleeting thought with the entire world decreases the likelihood of getting cancelled (which is really nothing but good old fashioned ostracism, though I believe the way it's currently being weaponized will diminish over time, lose it's effectiveness and again be reserved for the truly repugnant).
