Rust depends on the operating system already having a cross-linker and sysroot for the target platform. You probably have them already installed.

On a "clean" OS, you get:

• Panics from sys crates using the pkg_config crate, because the target sysroot is missing. It can auto-detect available sysroot on some Linux platforms, but on others you need to fiddle with env vars.

• Screen full of linker errors, because the linker for the host OS doesn't know what to do with the target OS's object files. It's less terrible if you enable a semi-secret option for bundled lld, but it's too buggy to use on some platforms.

Cross-compilation from one Linux flavor to another Linux flavor is reasonably easy with some distros. But anything more adventurous like Mac -> Linux just falls apart and you need to spend a whole day copy-pasting configs and installing bitrotting 3rd party Homebrew formulas from random people on the Internet.

Rust's tooling is usually excellent, but cross-compilation feels half-finished. The Rust's own side of it is fine (cross-compiles object files like a champ, has cross-libstd), but anything not written by the Rust project is left as "not our problem".
>This is all just Theorie or personal.

It depends on where you go, your specific circumstances, etc. Its an objective fact that not every wealthy/safe country has open borders or easy immigration. Not all of these places pay tech workers anywhere near what they could make in other places, even adjusting for inflation and cost of living. Its also objectively true that not every such country welcomes outsiders with open arms, gives them equal opportunities, and allows them to become part of the community.

As an example Japan is a beautiful country and seems like it would be a good place to live, but they have a process for immigration that involves a points system. If you don't naturally have enough points from your education/experiences you can do some kind of charity work or get involved with various things that contribute to Japan. But from reading about the process it doesn't seem like I would be guaranteed a visa just because I apply.

I'm sure there are many places that do all of these things right. But I wasn't intending to make a universal statement to scare people away from it. I'm just saying that to a person that's thinking about it, those are all concerns that need to be explored before moving. And its also partially an explanation for why some of us stay.

Since you and your friends have had good experiences, can you recommend some countries to look into?

>> Even if you do good for self-glorification and to remind everyone how awesome you are

Bill Gates behaves like a politician because he was violently attacked by the government first. That's mostly because he didn't engage with politicians or didn't act like one.

He seeks to be in the public eye because that's the only way of preventing people gang up against you like it happened in 1999 when the DOJ decided to violently attack Microsoft just because Gates was so extremely rich.

His only problem is that he's very socially incompetent and will appear for like 30 minutes on prime time tv and the average person will hear a monotonal voice talking about concepts way above thier heads. He doesn't use typical politician tactics such as US v THEM, doesn't use empathizing phrases. It's only a matter of time until everybody sees the uncannyness and think this guy is an enemy. Which is exaclty the reason why all conspiracy theories are around against him, and seems to me you bought into them as well.

Bezos is the Seattle billionaire 2.0 , although his company had a rougher trajectory compared to Microsoft and the initial vision wasn't as ambitious and profitable as Microsoft, then AWS came along and changed the game..

Bezos is much more socially competent than Gates, and if he decides to follow Gates path he won't repeat his same mistakes. He'll use USvTHEM and all the social tactics to make sure that he doesn't become a scrapegoat for all humanity problems like it has happened with Gates
If the point was to hide the #Blinker implementation, then a simple code comment that #Blinker is implemented elsewhere would have probably helped me on my first pass.

It's not clear if the "same shit" is by or against Tesla in your opinion?
Thanks for your elaborate reply.
I don’t know the details of your personal dispute with the (ex)Freenode staff individuals and I don’t think it matters right now.
These things happen in practically all large communities on/off-line. It’s human nature.
My issue was with Mr. Lee using your post as a means to redeem himself with the community.
That blog post as genuine as it may be for you is phrased in a derogatory, childish way and shouldn’t be presented to people who are not involved with the social inner-workings of IRC.
It’s bad strategy on Mr. Lee’s part and indicates a lack of judgement and dubious conduct.

I do believe you’re genuinely hurt, and quite possibly some of the staff have indeed wronged you.
Yet the way your words were used by another who is not you, to publically defame people does you a disservice.
Your reply to me has made it more than clear that you’re perfectly capable of explaining your position in a civil manner. Having that blog post online puts you in a bad light, however right you may be.

You’ve expressed your support of Richard Stallman which is basically supporting his right to be an a-hole and not to publically destroy his life.
Now put your money where your mouth is and stand for those individuals’ right to be a-holes in your eyes and still have a life free of public personal humiliation.

All the best & No hard feelings,
Scrutinizer.
If I’m understanding this correctly, this is actually a feature that was developed for RHEL and just happens to be enabled on Fedora by accident.

RHEL has a stable kernel ABI because they support third-party binary modules such as from SGI.

Since the kernel ABI is stable, there is no need to rebuild DKMS modules on every kernel update.

FWIW, Debian has a similar mechanism which uses stable kernel ABIs. That’s why a Debian kernel image has always two version numbers, one for the ABI and one for the actual kernel version.

DKMS modules on Debian are rebuilt only when the ABI version changes. It probably uses the same DKMS feature as RHEL, not sure.
You mean “IBM”, not “Red Hat”.
The paper has other locality concerns which apply to all SSDs:

“Locality is not only valuable for reducing required RAM for translations, but also for other purposes. For example, all types of SSDs are sensitive to locality due to their data cache. In addition, for SSDs that arrange flash chips in a RAID-like fashion, writes with good locality are more likely to update the same stripe and the parity calculation can thus be batched and written concurrently [92], improving performance.”

I imagine a tray with some recesses that would receive the pearls after a bit of shaking or a funnel that would put all the pearls in a line and then somehow group them/count them should not be that hard to do.

And yes outsourcing this to someone else and employing machine learning apparently also works.
It has to start with a good abstract AKA TL/DR (which can also use formatting to highlight the key words) and/or end with a clear concise conclusion. Occasionally articles could fit in the size of an adequate abstract as a whole. This is what I would expect when I visit a particular blog directly, not a list of titles. And this would be enough, especially given the fact I visit a specific blog (I don't visit many) already means almost everything there is worth reading.

I recommend reading "A Mind at Play", a biography about Shannon. I found it to be a decent read. Funnily enough, I knew about him more through the unicycling community than I did through computer science. It wasn't until a few years ago when I realised what sort of impact he had on the world.

It largely depends on how you do it. If it involves spending more quality time with your dog, why not? Unlike children, their social media presence can't come to hunt them. I think my dogs would have been psyched if their days were filled with play and exercise.

I'm not in the US, but it seems like you, as a nation, need to get your retail banking system in order. You're behind (by the sounds of things) all of Europe, much of the far east, India, Aus/NZ and a bunch of other places.

You're spoiled by USD stability. There are plenty of unstable currencies all over the world and USD exchanges are not always legal in those countries. Bitcoin looks like an interesting asset in those circumstances.
The entire first sentence of the parent comment is alluding to the cultural (read: political) state of the area, in their opinion. People are allowed to respond to that.
Still, why ban mining Bitcoin instead of just mining with non-renewables?

China is the biggest manufacturer of solar panels and batteries, and stoppingBitcoin/Ethereum mining is giving up control over those currencies.
I like that the "Esperanza" diamond is supposed to have a price of $1M, or even more, and if you follow the rabbit hole the owners have been trying to sell the stone since 2015 to no avail (https://gemblog.igi.org/the-esperanza-diamond-is-still-for-s...). They even plugged in a saffire in...

The more you read about diamonds, the more they sound like a scam to sell overpriced wedding rings.
Apart from fuel prices, is there any economic impact? Do air carriers pay anything to the countries they fly over? (dunno, covering ATC costs?)

Small stars live a very long time. A star of the mass of our sun has a lifespan of ~10 billion years which gets you almost back to the beginning of the universe (~13 billion). This star is smaller (0.8 solar masses), so it can live even longer, so we don't need to look at distant objects to see early, low mass stars.

The other issue is that we just can't see individual stars at cosmological distances except in incredibly rare cases. See for example [1] where they discovered a single star at redshift 1 (roughly 6 billion years ago). Basically, if the star gets lensed in just the right way, it can be hugely magnified. This is a strong contender for the coolest observation that I know about. Galaxies are hard to see at redshift 1, to get a single star is crazy.

On your second question, generally people think that galaxies formed "inside-out". I.e. the inner region forms first, then the outer region. See [2].
Stars almost never collide with things (except maybe at the very center of the galaxy, but still super rare there), so survival isn't really a function of position in the galaxy.

That said, this observation is in stripe 82 (a very famous section of the SDSS. They observed it to greater depth than the rest of their area and many other surveys have since also observed it) which I'm pretty sure is away from the galactic plane (so not straight toward the center).

I love the transformer, I wonder how they came up with that idea.
It's extremely unlikely that Siemens used a name like "Business Server" in the 70s.

My guess would be that it originally did mean "Betriebssystem", and the "Business Server" was coined a lot later for the non-German-speaking part of the world.

And have a look at [1], if you compare "PBS" (Platte Betriebssystem) to "BS 1000", both running on a 4004-45, it would be really really strange if this "BS" meant "Business Server" in 1968.

Other uses of monads are fine, I just think you can do better and simpler for IO.
Crypto adherents generally don't study history. I remember when in the late 90s everyone was investing in the stock market bubble. Some people made big but most were left holding the bag. None of this is new.
Smart programmers can be ignorant in other areas and also jump to the comments before reading articles.
Hacker news is extremely anti crypto. I wonder if many folks actually made a peer to peer crypto transaction without an exchange, sat down, and thought about the implications. It didn't click for me until I did it. Once you think about the implications of that it is fucking amazing.We need it.

Generate a bank account with code, no bs paperwork or going through bank clerk. Then immediately send store of value to that account, or anyone in the world. Check it on a node(you can host the checker YOURSELF, or anyone you trust) within the hour, and the transaction is set in stone. Irreversible.

If I want to give cash to my favorite niece, I don't need to go get permission from a bank. I hand it to her. So why is it so hard to understand that as a citizen of the information age, we all need to have the equivalent option of direct transfers with minimal meddling?

Many arguments against cryptocurrencies are weak - they're not unsolvable problems.

Slow transaction times arguments could be analogous to slow computer times in the 90s. Better tech and algorithms will patch it.

Volatility in the long term can be solved with higher adoption since the supply is tiny relative to the dollar. Or a clever incentive scheme like dai.

Security screw ups are due to people not being educated and not having separate devices. Intuitive devices for security have not been made and it will take time.

Transaction irreversibly can be solved when stores build on top of the blockchain platforms. Or escrows.Satoshi hints at this on the FIRST page of the bitcoin white paper.

Smart contracts requiring good faith from people to run it? Sure, but it's still better and more automated compared to the systems we have now.

At the end of the day, robots in the future are not going to interface with multiple shitty bank apis that take 5 business days to settle entrenched by tech debt running shitty Java code. They're going to go through one of new universal platforms that have attributes like Ethereum.

So the question is - which horse do we back???

Yes it costs to fly through a country's airspace.
Disagree. Equities, specifically index funds, are marketed as an asset that will increase in USD price over time. There is an entire movement founded on this belief (FIRE).
Either this question would have to phrased in a precise mathematical form, or its hopelessly in the realm of metaphysics, where you can't get anywhere beyond speculation. Without precise formulation, it's impossible to be sure that we are even talking about the same thing.

It's not unheard of that a seemingly metaphysical question can be made testable with some ingenuity. Local realism is a great example: Local realism used to be subject to metaphysical debate, but since the 60's the Bell inequalities demonstrate a contradiction between practically testable predictions of the quantum theory and local realism. These days empirically measured Bell inequality violations are standard stuff that appear in physics journals (see e.g. [1]).

Unless we get something we can measure, the simulation theory has no better basis than the existence of an invisible pink unicorn whose job is to produce the quantum effects by disturbing our lab equipment.

This will likely have no consequences to the regime in Belarus, while increasing costs to these Baltic airlines.

A policy that might achieve something would be if the Baltic states, together with Poland and Ukraine, would close their airspace to Belavia planes, until the detained passenger is delivered to his destination in Vilnius.

This will increase costs to Belarusian airlines, which would be a problem to the regime.
Sounds like a good idea.

Though this trick (of capturing a dissident by forcing a plane down) probably only works once.

The 75k number has always felt to me like a complete fabrication. While I agree that wellbeing is not exactly correlated to money (eg. Health problems etc), there is almost no case that I can think of where it doesn't improve it dramatically. I think the thing that is often missed is not that having a lot of money is good of itself, rather that having money gives you freedom. You have the ability to control your time like others don't, and choose that which fulfills you. Will your life be perfect, almost certainly not, but I'd wager it has a higher probability of being better than if you were poorer. 75k is not going to buy you any meaningful freedom, even if it will keep you out of objective poverty.
Sometimes I feel like the whole ML scene is just stringing me along.
That’s not important. What’s important is, does it still work in the most recent version of Firefox? (I’m on mobile rn so can’t check for myself.)
From this flightradar track, it seems WizzAir is also doing this.
I wasn't doing it until I had to replace the backlight chip (in a computer where there was already at least one module on the mother board, so there absolutely was room to put the backlight circuit on a module but I think Apple keeps it on the motherboard to save money which means lots of dead macs.)

Also you only need 0.1%. The computer I worked on wasn't mine.
> why ban mining Bitcoin instead of just mining with non-renewables?

Because those non-renewables are needed elsewhere?
Paying doesn’t magically make them not want to extract all of your value. Apple could sell iPhones at a loss just because of the AppStore theft, and still survive.
I think that's a fair characterisation of her premises. For instance, she argues that these outcomes aren't happening because of any systematic quality difference in the products: many centralised products that win significant marketshare are a bit ordinary. I'm not in a position to judge that claim; I tend to avoid products that make gratuitous demands on my personal data so I have less material to compare, but the idea that a universal Electron app is better than a variety of independently developed native apps is certainly not one I would rush to accept.

Her actual conclusion is that in order to create a market whose average members are free, we need more regulation.
Many know Shannon as the author of "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" and the founder of information theory, as well as the brain behind "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems"

Both papers derive from a technical report, "A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography"[0], written by Shannon in 1945 — 3 years before his breakthrough papers in the Bell Labs Technical Journal.

That's not incompatible with what I said.
You would provide this file for them to download alongside where you show the email address; the file would be equivalent to an API key - should be a symmetric key. It's sort of just swapping out an Authorization header for a file with an expected checksum/contents.

If the barrier is technical abilities, trying to set up public/private keys and/or signing the emails could hinder adoption.
I’m not going to source hunt for you when the information you seek is so readily available across the internet and any opinion to the contrary is simply an attempt at maintaining ones own ignorant bias on the facts.

By the sound of your resistance to my original comment though, no amount of sources will prove to you that the measures taken saved lives.
Yes. Most of us know this. We're not exactly complete idiots.

There's this thing called lobbying over here. It means if you have a lot of money, you make the laws. Apparently, those with the money making the laws don't particularly care to do what you've advised. Thank you for your understanding.
Actually it's not how manufacturing works according to Wright's law: the more panels that are manufactured, the more prices of the panels per panel are going down. Of course there are temporary supply/demand issues, but they correct themselves after a few years.

“the tech community” doesn’t matter: users chose gmail. Shaming them won’t do anything, because the users are the ones whose choices matter.
