Why not just use the docker extension for VS Code and rust analyzer within it?
All that is needed here is distributed storage. Whether or not it has anything to do with blockchain is immaterial. The value add, if any, of blockchain is verification of the provenance of the files stored on the blockchain, but if a third party is copying scientific papers in to begin with, the chain of custody has already been disrupted. Theoretically, scientists could digitally sign and upload their own work, but they can already do that. The reason they publish to journals instead is the actual scientific validity of published work isn't verified by being of known provenance, but by peer review.

So unless you have some idea of how to do peer review by blockchain.

I mean, that's probably not impossible, but good luck. Since the idea would be preventing anybody from making money off of it, it kind of goes against what blockchain is actually used for. Scihub is trying to create abundance, not scarcity.
Disney+ will release Rock’s “Jungle Cruise” on the same day as theaters
Almost after 2 years of original release date, Disney+ is going to bring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt’s family-friendly movie Jungle Cruise to the theaters this summer. As like other movies Mulan, Raya, and The Last Dragon, Black Widow you can easily enjoy this film from home only. This is because Disney+ has officially announced that the movie is going to hit the streaming platform on the same day as theaters.
No, that's something else. Choosing languages in order to look better on the resume is not personal development, it is resume-driven development. Learning new languages in order to become a better programmer overall is personal development, or learning languages that fits better with "you as a person". But chasing hype is not "personal development" and that meme needs to die.
Research funded by the public should always be public domain, change my mind!
Again, this is a feature story, not a news story.
Alternatively, if services demand a fee then there is no need for human verification.

Instead of trying to solve anonymous human verification we can as well make micro-payment an option.
I suppose they are voting on fork chains in that sense, true.
> In programming, there is often a clear pre-defined task

How is this different from writing stuff? Most of the time you have some pre-defined thing you want to communicate. If you mean writing novels and not just writing memos or articles then the equivalent is coding games which is just as creative if not more than writing novels.
What if you attack the hospital in the middle of, lets say a covid outbreak, where no excess capacity is available. Now you've likely caused a significant number of deaths.
> I picked up programming my freshman year and switched to CS from my original major. I was completely green while so many other students - what felt like a majority - had been programming for years

There's been some research on this and places like Harvey Mudd solve this basically by dividing the incoming freshmen into 'has any experience at all programming' and 'completely new', which was like 50-50 if I recall. And then tweaking assignments to not be video game focused -- pulling in problems & themes from bioinformatics and other fields instead.
Exactly, you give the government a way to replicate your insight, in return you get x years of monopoly. With the first part being non-existent (didn't inventors even have to supply physical prototypes etc.?) the patent system is easy to abuse.
My post wasn’t clear, sorry. I consider FU to be >$10M. So I would think folks in my boat would have $5-$9M in assets. I don’t think $4M is enough for the burn rate I’ve described. It’s close though so sure if someone here retired at $4M then would still be happy to hear about it.
The cost of shutting down this pipeline for a week is a lot more than 5 million. At 3 million barrels per day going through it, in 6 days that's 18 million barrels. At $65/barrel that's 195 million worth of oil that didn't transit and it probably has huge knock-on effects throughout the affected regions (things that didn't ship, trips not taken, etc).
The fact that their coins were apparently easily stolen also debunks another favourite talking point of the crypto people that it secures your money from government access. Clearly, ways and means have been developed to do just that if necessary.
Since this is oriented to the general public, one would assume that this information has already been factored in the announcement. i.e. that the CDC has published this guidance because now the evidence for the vaccinated population not needing masks in most places is overwhelming.

Yeah, I had a friend in college who switched majors after constantly comparing themselves to the rest of the class, when a good chunk of us had been programming since our early teens and they had never written a line of code before their first class. It was a bit sad because they were actually doing fine (IMO), but always felt behind because they were comparing against students with years of head start.

I mean, you can do this, but it will still get automatically typed as a u8, which could very easily cause confusion for Python devs who really want to push that value past 255. My bigger point (and likely the authors) was that Rusts integers aren't like Java's ints or Python's bigints. Your laziness in that example is still being penalized, it's just harder to see and therefore, less "correct".
> nobody has perfect OpSec

Yep. Compromised people on the inside, informants, "intensive interrogation" etc. are more likely the way, as has always been the case.

Also the agencies that would know who these people are would not want to reveal what they know in order to save random XYZ Corp's bacon. With this being seen as a "critical infrastructure" attack and something closer to an act of war/terrorism, the stakes got higher.
Yes, for example, I am doing embedded development and do not use the standard library at all.

There's not a lot of reason to re-implement it, because if you can use it, there's not a lot of reason to not just use it.

There are people who make even more string types as packages, and use those. smallstr and bstr are two examples of those.
> I'm not really comfortable with Israeli companies run by former IDF soldiers injecting code into thousands of websites.

I don't want to alarm you but with mandatory service in Israel that means that nearly every single Israeli citizen is either a current or former IDF soldier.
De Broglie Bohm is highly underrated. It's deterministic but nonlocal, so it's not FTL (we agree on that). Personally, I prefer it to the Copenhagen interpretation and it even makes some interesting predictions that are supported by experiment. I see DBB as being on a continuum of deterministic theories.
These are just analogies, so let's just accept that first and foremost. Words are just a way for us to make sense of it, which we can't really do. Even math itself is just an approximation for reality.

But, in "this world," the one we "think about" time is the path between two simultaneously existing universes. The universe a minute ago still exists. The universe a minute from now exists already. Time is how we got here and will get there.

We aren't generating it. It's always here. It only exists when it is observed. You observing it makes it exist. That's the path. You haven't observed the universe an hour from now, so it doesn't exist yet, but that's only true in your mind. It's already here. It's there. All potential universes exist simultaneously.

Time isn't an illusion. It's a path. It's like the trail from your house to mine.

For a point to get from one point to another, it needs another dimension, a line. A line needs a plane. A plane needs a cube, a cube needs time, time needs... what? The fifth dimension. Through the fifth dimension, we can create paths from one time to another.

We just aren't there yet. We haven't observed that happening, but it's there. Always was, always will be.

Basic economics.

Some examples is equipment, mentoring and knowledge transfer. Two engineers have to do that individually, they have separate equipment sometimes in the realm of thousands of dollars. You might spend tens of thousands on employee time getting people ramped up.

You also have to factor in that more people means more communication channels. Smaller teams are going to be more efficient because they can all talk to each other.

For some organisations the salary can be less than half of the total cost to hire an employee.

Two identical people who already have ramped up, have free equipment, etc...? Maybe.

>In the audiobook narration world the price per finished hour is considerably more revenue than royalty split

That's pretty interesting. From your vantage point could you say why that's true?

In my experience, I would agree it's true because it seems that the vast majority of Audiobooks don't actually sell that many copies. A narrator should never expect to earn, say, $1000 or more in Royalties, even over the life of the book. ($1000 dollars represents typical low-moderate PFH pay for a book length of 5-10 finished hours)

My guess is that you'd need to sell probably 300 to 400 copies of an audiobook to make $1000 in narrator Royalties. I don't have hard data, but I would estimate that audiobooks probably sell at a ratio of 20% or less than the paper version. So you'd need to narrate a book that's going to sell at least 1000+ paper copies in a year before you'd have a chance at breaking even in the year you narrated the book.

1000+ sales in a year is a pretty tall sales order. According to Scribe media: [0]
"In the book’s lifetime Research suggests that the “average” self-published, digital-only book sells about 250 copies in its lifetime.

"By comparison, the average traditionally published book sells 3,000 copies, but as I mentioned above, only about 250-300 of those sales happen in the first year."

It would appear the odds are not in the narrator's favor.

I read a lot of medical research papers, and I've been thinking about this recently. Every time I read about a rat being "euthanized" or "sacrificed", when they have neuropathy induced by toxins, when they have limbs amputated, when they have their spine severed... I can't help but pause for a moment and think about that animal.

I wonder if there are any good estimates of how many rats, rabbits, dogs and otherwise are maimed and killed each year for medical (or cosmetic) research. Is there, realistically, anything that would change this?
In one group of 11 mice, four had their intestines scrubbed to thin the mucosal lining and improve oxygen absorption. Next, the researchers injected pure, pressurized oxygen into the rectums of the scrubbed mice and four of the seven unscrubbed ones.

I don't even want to know how they do this and whose terrible job this is.
None? Why would every button press require a full rtt?
Also, it's an attitude completely antithetical to that which the Rust community tries to cultivate.

Literally, the very first sentence on rust-lang.org is "A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software." Making "real" a systems programming language that is more accessible is one of the primary goals of the language. And a large portion of the Rust community are converts from scripting languages like Python / Ruby / NodeJS, and the tooling is inspired by (good parts of) the tooling that sprang up in those communities.

If you want to think that way about "script kiddies" then that is your right, but keep it to yourself.
Could someone here please make a Wired auto-summarizer that cuts out the stuff about what the subject of the article had for breakfast that day and retains the insights?
it's harder for a Rust dev to write a slow program than it is for a Python or Java dev

Like C and C++, Rust is by default fast, but the language itself does not provide features that make it easier to write fast code.
Correct, I was failing to take off my web dev hat
I don't really agree. All it takes is an unwillingness to simply repeat unsourced dogma as fact, and actually ask some blindingly obvious questions. The root cause of the "mistake" wasn't a lack of fluid dynamics expertise - it was motivated reasoning, which was also terribly in evidence during the pandemic: it can't be aerosol, because that would be terribly inconvenient.

Medicine strikes me as a branch of science unusually prone to dogma. I wonder if that's at all related to the punishing hazing ritual of med school, where one is required to do nothing but regurgitate dogma for many years on very little sleep - no creativity or asking questions allowed.

How do we tell “the market” from the half a billion fake dollars being pumped into the exchanges each day and the fake volume being traded between exchanges that hold significant amounts of USDT they know have no value when hell comes down but they need to respect until that point to keep the delusion going long enough to make more on new crypto than they are already under water?

I have a sense that a healthy maker analysis would show that the market does indeed care, but there’s to much fraud in the mix for it to be clear unless you dig out the details.

Having the getting started button at the end is a good idea I think, we'll look into that.

We say "web frontend" because that's as descriptive as we can be really. We support any web framework that runs in a browser. As for screenshots of big companies' apps, we don't have any major companies that have adopted Tauri yet, as we just came out of alpha, but we will add a section like that as soon as we can.

It's difficult for us to demonstrate how Tauri is used in short snippets that could fit at the beginning of the Getting Started section. Electron's site doesn't have any code snippets either, just snippets for installing via npm and some example apps.

When you set the data type to "auto", the data type is inferred from the first document that you index. When subsequent documents are indexed, the fields are first attempted to be coerced to the previously determined data types. For eg:

If record1 has {field1: 32, field2: true, field3: '22'}
and record2 has {field1: "32", field2: 'true', field3: 22}

When record1 is indexed, the data type for field1 is set to int, field2 is set to bool and field3 is set to string.

Then when record2 shows up, field1 is coerced to an int, field2 is coerced to a bool and field3 is coerced to a string.

If a coercion is not possible, you can configure it to be ignored or error out.

re: facets, you can use a regex field name and set for example all fields that end with `.*_facet` to be a facet.
The wording may be harsh, but the idea is roughly correct. Learning Rust and fighting the borrow checker requires CS fundamentals knowledge.

> I think the POSIX subsystem eventually became Subsystem for Unix Applications (SUA) which did have some users at some point...

It had a bundle which had a NFS server or client, I don't remember. The only thing I remember is NFS functionality was a sure way to get BSODs. Every. Time.

Towards end of its lifetime, SUA was re-purposed as a toolset to migrate UNIX environments to Windows, not to enable interoperability. The toolkit discontinued a year or two later IIRC.
Ask HN: How to better market product being used by quite a few businesses?
After being frustrated with not being able to share and collaborate on links with friends and teammates at work, I created SeeLink, a platform to simplify sharing and collaborating on links with friends and teammates. You can find it at https://seelink.app.

Conventionally, sharing links with people was done through messaging apps, where they would get lost in the sea of messages. SeeLink allows its users to create boards to share links with individuals/groups of people, allowing them to save and share human-readable links at the click of a button.

SeeLink allows you to create specific boards for specific topics, and helps organize links via tag. I released the product around 6 months ago, and even though it has only 400 regular users, a lot of these are businesses. A few examples are Canada Restoration Services, Omron Healthcare NZ, House of cars Arizona, and Gamma Foundries. How do I market this to more businesses, and maybe get the product acquired? As of now, the product is free. Would you recommend a monthly subscription monetization model? How do I market this and get it to as many businesses as I can, and maybe get it acquired?
I’m 45 with a family so this kind of plan is not feasible or necessary. I could simply move to a much less expensive American city and retire. My burn rate is high partially because I live in an expensive city. But i’m not looking for life hacks to cut corners. This post is simply about knowing when you have enough savings to truly “have enough” to safely retire.
Wasn’t the PPE shortage and the initial recommendation for the public to not wear masks both mostly about N95 masks? From what I remember, by the time CDC was recommending masks for the public it was all about the simple cloth masks, which I don’t think I ever saw in stores before the pandemic and presumably don’t compete much with N95 masks for medical professionals.
They plugged some ATL chefs in there so I'll allow it.
Overcoming Tab Overload
I don't think the CDC made a mistake - I think they intentionally "lied" for the sake of the public good, aka the Noble Lie.

Rather than saying "Hey lets hold off on buying masks so that we have enough for essential care workers" they instead said "do not buy masks because they aren't effective, or might even make risk of infection higher!"

You are confusing computation, which is a branch of mathematics, with all of mathematics. In general in mathematics, the thinking is equational: equality is absolute.

In computation you generally do follow a process which follows from one step to the next. However, this doesn't necessarily imply time in any meaningful way, I think having a countable base like the natural numbers is enough (such that you can meaningfully say 'this is step 1, this is step 2, step 2 comes after step 1 in our ordering').
Not really sure what you're prattling on about, I haven't used Twitter in the better half of a decade. Either way, Giuliani is the dude who tried jerking off in the Borat movie.

It's just a "better integrated" virtual machine: "Lima launches Linux virtual machines on macOS"

This might be a controversial opinion, but I find developers flocking to macOS really bewildering. As a developer, why do you want to fight your operating system to get basic things done? This Lima thing, docker running in a virtual machine, Apple being actively hostile with the default coreutils requiring you to layer multiple third party tools just to get a modern version of awk and grep.
