They've got a point. Time to cut through the hype, get straight to the point and show some screenshots to catch their eyes.

If you can't manage that, the tab gets closed with in 5 seconds. Even if it has the Rust buzzword. (Because that trick always works on HN)
Six? I can think of String (owned bag of utf-8 bytes), &str (reference to utf-8 bytes), and OsString (potentially non utf-8 depending on your platform, used for ffi).

Some people say Cow<str> is a string type, but I think it's better thought of as a genetic type you often use with strings.
TL;DR: Find a good crypto lawyer
> as it turned out (as explained in Mueller's report), there never was any evidence for it.

Can you actually quote the report to support your claims? The report actually says that there was evidence to support communication/collusion between the Trump campaign & Russian officials, but not enough evidence [that we know of] to support criminal charges.

This is for two reasons: 1) The "dirt" given at the Trump tower meeting was not valuable enough to prosecute under campaign finance laws. 2) The individuals present at the meeting did not know that their conduct was illegal, so they could not be charged under the law.

So really, Mueller's report said that there was not enough evidence to meet a criminal prosecution, but there was evidence. That's a very different claim than "no evidence."

It's also not possible to prove a negative ("there was never evidence"), and given the numerous cases of obstruction, it is possible that the evidence needed to support criminal charges was covered up.

Turning adversaries into allies to change the chicken industry
From an employers perspective, I believe there are many advantages:

- 4 day week job listings get 15% more applications [1]

- Staff will be more productive. Microsoft experimented with a 4-day work week and productivity jumped by 40% [2]

- Staff will be happier and healthier [3]

- Staff retention will improve (e.g. "Now that I'm working a 4 day week, I could never go back to work 5 days")

- Some developers would compromise salary. In our current poll 84% of people would prefer to either work 3 days @ 60% salary or 4 days @ 80% salary

- Reduced office costs (e.g. close the office 1 day per week)

- It's better for the environment (e.g. less travel, closed offices etc)

Unsafe Rust is not automatically bad. The main reason all of those major libraries got switched to safe Rust is that progress in language features made it possible to do the same operations safely.
It’s not 2001 anymore. You can have both secure windows and Linux infrastructure.

Telling people to just use Linux as a remedy doesn’t help. If you don’t invest into securing your Windows infra, your Linux infra will be also full of holes.
More apt comparison would be:

Hospital affects workers who work there and people using that hospital VS Pipeline affects workers who work there and people currently refilling their cars with gas from there

Or

Hospital affects workers who work there and everyone within a radius who could need it at any moment VS Pipeline affects works who work there and people who generally rely on that gas to drive

Suddenly the groups seems much similarly sized, while one being important for staying alive VS the other being a nice-to-have, if we consider it being offline for a week or two only.

I know which one I would consider being worse if I was a country. But then we're also talking about a country who's fascination for oil is like no other, so this is hardly surprising.
Running a VPN for 10 people is very different from running a heavily-advertised VPN for thousands of people.

You got away with it because those 10 people are trustworthy and didn't use the VPN for malicious activities (or they managed to fly under the radar).

Now try actually advertise that VPN like the big VPN providers do and see how you fare. You'll get your droplet and entire DigitalOcean account shut down in no time, and the administrative overhead of having to deal with all the abuse reports and support queries will make it unsustainable.

So essentially it's a pyramid scheme then.

Remember when Emotet was believed to be connected to Russia? Until January of this year, when it turned out it was actually Ukrainian.
Wow you're right. I thought you were exaggerating a bit because there's a "Get started" button right there. But even clicking that I had to drill down through multiple badly named pages just to find the part that describes how the Rust portion of this works. Why is the selling point of this not shoved in your face from the second you load the page.
I would work 4 days per week (this is, 32h/week) for 100% salary. I'm not joking. The current 5 day/week, 40h/week is nonsense: the only reason software companies offer such a contract is because of "tradition", they are not interested in thinking about "Hey, perhaps working less than 40h/week makes us equally productive? Let's try!".

Some companies in some countries offer 7.5h/day (37.5h/week) and NOTHING bad happened. Turns out it probably improves the lives of the company's employees (which in turn, improves the company itself).

No, I wouldn't work 4 days per week for 80% of the salary. Hell, I would be more productive working 4 days per week! Why on earth would I receive less money? If any, pay me more.
Obviously, this only applies to a few jobs out there (e.g., software engineering).
Its been said before:

"When the system fails you, you create your own system."

Which relates to what you're saying. When clever, intelligent people are ostracized and marginalized, they then use those skills to get illegally what society has prevented them from getting legally.

At some point, the idea of getting caught doesn't even register anymore.
I would agree with you, Java routinely uses the "last-mover's advantage" tactic, but I think you overestimate the relative sizes of the two languages. These are all very basic FP "features"/language primitives, and Java is steering strongly towards becoming an ML-inspired FP-enhanced language.

If anything, the acceptance of more parts of the FP paradigm into all major languages (like C#, JS/TS, C++) starting with lambdas likely have pushed Java, but to single out the all-around very niche Kotlin language as a source is imo a non sequitur.
Attestation (what they use) is orthogonal to authentication. Token manufacturers have per-batch keys, private key being in the devices of that batch, so sites can verify that your device is from that batch of that vendor. You "can" implement attestation with your own key in software or in whatever, but Cloudflare won't trust your key :D
The vaccines in the west have only been around for use for 6 months and this conspiracy is less than 6 months old
My understanding is they did limit the attack to the office side:

Many (most?) centralized exchanges do have such pairs, but we also would like to be able to have fully decentralized exchanges, and we also would like to have smart contracts that operate on dollars: stable coins aren't just some narrow solution for exchanges.
Not to mention you cant even browser existing discord servers...
4 days wouldn't equal 80% of the time, you'd be expected to work extra on those 4 days and get nothing for it.
Maybe with Darkside, but they account for a very small amount of activity. Back in the Gandcrab days, anyone with a credit card could fire up their own tenancy, and they mostly sucked at it. They would lose the decryption keys or send non functional decryptors. They were not interested in talking and just thought the RaaS platform would be a passive income for them.

I mostly dont do ransomware housecalls anymore, but my teammates tell me the situation has mostly not improved.
Like I wrote in another response, we are due for a landing page revamp, and we'll be sure to make a "nothing but the facts" hero for people like yourself who are concerned that their time is being wasted.
* Bitcoin is digital gold. Kinda interesting, but not enough to build a modern civilization on.

* Ethereum is digital oil. Once the switch to proof-of-stake occurs, it will be a bit better foundation for some civilization, though it still has problems [1].

* One thing that Balaji does not address is that all current cryptocurrencies (or crypto-commodities if you prefer) act to increase economic inequality. When a large cryptocurrency provides a UBI and solves immediate technical problems [1], then we'll need to talk about roads :-)

That would make sense only if Li-Ion batteries didn't have power densities north of 250 W⋅h/kg.

Commercial battery cells used in vehicle sized applications, however, often do exceed this value.

So even at a 20% loss due to temperature control, an aluminium battery of the quoted power density still struggles to even just match Li-Ion batteries (i.e. Li-Ion batteries including cooling still have at least 26% higher energy density by mass; using a Panasonic cell as reference point).
This is an extremely strange criticism. Unless you have some kind of strong union or co-op situation, as an employee you have almost zero control over the contract and payment structure at your company, and management’s decisions around it are influenced by factors as varied as “their spouse’s wishes” or “something they heard Elon Musk say on a podcast” or “a Tony Robbins quote on LinkedIn”. Having someone cold-call with their ideas isn’t any different from the other capricious reasons your management can change your working conditions.
Having three kids at home doing remote schooling is such a huge confounding factor. Anecdotally, my WFH productivity (or at least my uninterrupted work time tracked via RescueTime) seems to have improved since my older two went back to in-person school this quarter.
I'm in school right now, so I can't comment on this, but I would love a 4 day week with Wednesday as the extra day off. I've tried it, and it's just amazing. [1] Relevant CGP Grey video.

I think Typescript won't check that two of your dependencies are compatible with each other; it will only check that your app is compatible with dependencies. Even then, the check isn't very strong, since TypeScript operates on a "as you want it" basis, which is nice in some ways but also means you could get overly permissive behavior, especially if you're using third party typings, which is fairly common.

> the focus isn't domain modelling, like C++ and golang's type systems

Could you please explain what you mean by this? I've honestly not heard this argument before so I'd be interested what domain modeling Rust doesn't encourage/support that, e.g. Go does.
Not enough information. It largely depends on the product, the team, and even soft skills or domain knowledge.

In some contexts, yes having knowledge of compiled or non-GC languages is critical. But there is a certain baseline of programming knowledge that allows any dev to be decently productive; for many products & teams, soft skills become more important after that point. For example: if the interpreted lang dev is great at communicating and the compiled dev is terrible, some teams may elect to choose the first for that reason alone.
> let alone graphing calculators which can do a bit too much of the work for you IMO

I can no longer do calculus because I got a TI-89. Granted I don't have to do much calculus day to day, but if someone walked up to me and demanded I tell them the derivative of 2xe^2x I would have no idea what to do.
I got downvoted for saying that maybe it's time to treat serious ransomware attacks (infrastructure, security, health, etc.) as terrorism - as in the sense that they're a threat to the national security. But this kinda shows the response I was referencing to.

A lot of people like to think of ransomware attacks as the ultimate stress test as far as security goes, and thus a good thing - but let's not get too blinded by our professions (most probably in tech), these kinds of attacks can have serious consequences: Imagine if some foreign state agency (masquerading as hackers) launches a multiheaded attack on, say, utilities plants - in the middle of the winter. The victims/targets will pay whatever us necessary.

With that said, I understand that many people will recoil at such things - we saw what the patriot act did, and how easy it is to overstep and abuse such laws, in the name of "national security". But it is a serious problem, in the same way actual piracy thrived in the gulf of Aden, as soon as the shipping companies started paying.
I received an unsolicited airdrop which had a spot price of "$20k USD" because there was no liquidity. It's absolutely worthless.

Seems like illiquid airdrops are a good way to screw someone over in the eyes of the IRS, lol
Well it's a good thing this has already been settled in a court of law then. No sense in arguing it online if our wonderful nation has already made an official ruling.
> This created the impetus for the US to treat this as an incident far and above the ambient ransomware activities leading up to this.

And why would you say this is desirable to the US? Just general "governments take advantage of crises to gain power" reasons?
I'm thinking of this as well. Given how frontend frameworks like Svelte are moving towards a "framework as compiler" approach and how newer runtimes like are Deno now support compiling to a self-contained standalone binary, my guess is that WASM will become the main target for cross-platform development.
> Or that they had lowered crypto tax rates a little because it's highly risky anyways.

That'd be a fun principle applied to stocks. Pay less in capital gains as more leverage is employed. That's a wacky feedback loop to throw into any market.
Really? I'm not willing to let you wave your arms about that last conclusion. Suppose you had 100 frontends and 10000 backends in a fully-connected manner with 1 million sockets. You spent 8KiB on this state (I think that's a bit low, but I'm using your figure). That would only be a significant fraction of (more than 1% of) 100 * 1E6 * 8KiB == 800GiB, spread across your 10100 containers, meaning they each have only 80MiB of memory? This seems very unlikely.

A much more likely scenario is each of your 10100 things has at least 2-4GB of memory per CPU core, meaning at least 20-40TiB of memory in your system, meaning that the million connections cost you 0.02% of your system memory, or essentially nothing.

> music videos which account for a large percentage of YouTube’s videos views

I don't really think people actually watch the video that much. The number one requested feature for the YouTube player was "let me hear the music with the app in the background (aka: without video)". The whole point was to listen to music for free without the need for an extra app. Many youtube music video are just static images with the song playing in the background.
Okay, so make a top-level comment critiquing their docs, rather than making an incorrect assumption and then critiquing it.

You don't need to offer a perspective on everything, and I prefer the critiques I read to be well-founded.
It was a mistake to attack overtly. I believe $5 million can be easily drained covertly and inconspicuously from megacorporations.

It is not just IRC ports. Back when I wanted make my own MMO and went shopping for business ISP, I noticed one of the contracts I read even wrote a long list of all possibly IRC related stuff, they would ban you if you had: irc server seevice, irc server software irc client software, irc bots, tools to make irc bots, mirc scripts, and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember (this was around 2007)

It probably is, their billing systems aren’t though.

I believe they shut down the pipeline because they were unable to bill.
Slack used to use a similar approach but gave up in part because platform webviews are more outdated than browsers on average.
hospitals without IT don't just kill all their patients and shut down. They slow down and loose capacity and capability while the realtively low-tech business of doctoring continues.
I’ve had jobs where I worked 80 hours and jobs where I worked 20 hours and they were all officially normal full time jobs. As an overtime-exempt salary worker, the official number of hours I work doesn’t matter very much. If you want to work less, just spend less time working. You don’t need to try to convince your boss to sign off on it. If your job is too hard for you to meet expectations with your preferred work-life balance, find an easier job.
The more granularity and internationalization the higher likelihood it'll be used for grooming, sex trafficking, and fraud. Tinder, Snapchat, TikTok, and other mediums are already rife with it.
People say "Rust has six string types" but what they mean is "the standard library has six string types". Rust-the-language has one string type: str. The standard library also has:

* String
* OsString / OsStr
* CString / CStr

if people really want to make it look big, they also include PathBuf/Path and Cow<str>.

Here's an example of one of my projects where I do just that: https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/ Literally! I tell people what my team has built. I show them a screenshot. I then provide API examples. Mine could be better if I provided screenshots per API example, too. Everyone can improve.

I worked for a small company that was affected by the post-911 slowdown and the company reduced the hours to Mon-Thurs for a year.

We had to economize a little more, but I was happy with it. I started doing side work, spent more time learning things or sometimes I would do nothing.

I'd have a hard time doing it willingly because it's not just me. But if it was forced on me, I wouldn't complain.

Presumably it'd eventually make Match Group's strategy of buying up all the competitors un-viable after some time, as there'd be an ever-increasing stream of dating apps driving up the customer acquisition costs by competing with each other and Match, while making Match effectively pay for the same customers over and over again as customers get convinced to try yet another new dating app and Match has yet another acquisition target.

This entire space is really hard to make work well for users, though, because users interests are so at odds with the service providers, in that anything that helps you meet someone quickly reduces the amount of chances they have to upsell you. It's in their interest that you remain frustrated.

Any plans for display with at least 99% Adobe RGB (for working with pictures color grading)? Good uniform brightness would also be nice. It doesn't need to be as good as Eizo/Nec, but something on the level of BenQ PhotoVue would be nice.

100%, and I agree with your interpretations. The only reason for working I've ever had is to be able to support what I really want in life: health, passions, etc. I have zero need for work for fulfillment, social life, satisfaction, or whatever or reasons people say that want to work.

That's not the correct plural rule in English, you'd want
