Right, the TWIR link reminded me I had intended to bookmark it, and so I did, but #398 without context, eh, who knows.

Like, maybe they are very enthusiastic about enums being able to easily implement Default (and thus you could #[derive[Default)] for a structure that uses that enum for a member)

Or they're extremely excited about fairly obscure new Clippy lints.

Still it's occasionally worth stepping back a moment, this is a lot of changes, isn't it a blessing that Rust is able to move this quickly? Like taking a moment to appreciate that, although the air on your street could be better (more EVs please) the lack of horses everywhere does mean it doesn't stink of horse shit this century.

But I suspect the reality is that you can sometimes get HN to upvote This Week in Rust, and so why not post it and get some Internet points? Unlike some off-topic rant about cats or Obama or a new movie, you aren't likely to get downvotes, so worst case it falls off the front page unnoticed.
I agree that it's blatantly unethical, but there's also a degree of "evil genius" or supervillain here.

The trust of the author, in a survey of one software user, is obviously at an all-time low, the trust of seemingly a large number of people reading it, judging by the comments, is similarly low, eg. Apple seems keen on marketing privacy, so maybe Apple at least feels that a certain segment of their customer base’s trust in software is at an all-time low (or should be)? That’s at least some ‘my’s and ‘their’s… How would you quantify feelings of trust quanticle? What would be sufficient proof to make a general claim about a nebulous emotional quality like ‘trust’? Perhaps it is poorly phrased as a headline/not the most accurate title ever, but how do you feel about what the article says? Do you agree? Should people not be allowed to write/post articles based on qualia?
Often you'd see HN posts near the top, with few votes or comments. Although Rust sounds amazing, it has a Submarine* feel to it. Would the project be on the front page if the title didn't mention Rust?

I think Haskell had this problem years ago as well: it was like any obscure algorithm you'd lookup on Wikipedia had sample code ... in Haskell only.

"I can't understand why more developers aren't into blockchain and fintech startups here, let me post an article explaining it!"

It ain't the tech, it's the people.
I agree.

One gripe that I have with functions like map is that it returns a generator, so you have to be careful when reusing results. I fell into this trap a few times.

I'd also like a simpler syntax for closures, it would make writing embedded DSLs less cumbersome.
Agreed on "blockchain", which as been spun by marketers into a a snake oil for everything.

The comment you're responding to referenced a lack of understanding of POW and doubles pending, which has are specific to Bitcoin, not blockchain.
Manufactured drought. It's obvious.
All of the phrasing you take issue with is directly from the linked complaint. The complaint flatly alleges Google “bought off Samsung” (as quoted in the headline) and that Google was both willing to attempt to buy off Samsung and did indeed attempt to do so. They are the logical order of events, no? I can’t have bought someone off without first having attempted to buy them off and before that having been willing to buy them off.
Take a marketing class to defend yourself from corporate brainwashing.

Nintendo has been literally brainwashing us since we were babies and had no concept of marketing.

I'm not even talking about hardware specs. The switch has joycon issues, expensive games that are mediocre, and for some reason you confuse investment and innovation with quality.

Wasting money and bad ideas are not qualities.

I used to be a Nintendo fanatic, but their systems and flagship games since N64 have woken me up to their quality issues. The fact that people suggested BOTW was a greatest game of all time despite having only 1 temple theme and 3 enemies (with various skins), shows you that we are under mind control.
This doesn’t sound like legal though
This stopped being true with the Switch.
What are the earliest examples of psychedelic video? For music everyone seems to agree that the first psychedelic song was 8 miles high, but I can't find an answer for film. The movies from 1966 and 1967 seem to just portray people tripping by projecting multicolored lights onto their mostly naked bodies. But then by 1969(?), you have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxzFUX5a3xg

Which is basically the same as Altered States, and everything after up until the era of computer graphics. But is there anything in between, before that spirit in the sky video?

Jobs was right, though that's not what I believed at the time! Eliminating expansion slots from the Apple II spurred development in SCSI, Firewire, and ultimately USB. Now we're used to taking any kind of device and connecting it to a USB port and it simply working. Jobs obsession with thinness has also eliminated several other wires: wireless networking is universal and most of us are aghast when needing to use an ethernet cable, same for wireless printing, keyboards and mice/trackpads, and more recently we've been accustomed to wireless headphones. I think all of this would have happened eventually but you have to admit Jobs drove this.

You mean the politicians, that get sponsored by the companies? Those, who get influenced by professional lobbyists?
Sure, I absolutely agree that private enterprise can be a problem and can become intertwined with government. But the topic of this thread is Twitter, and more broadly, Big Tech, and I am not convinced that they are a serious problem in the way that telecom or rail monopolies were. I'm not even sure they are monopolies at all -- there's plenty of competition, even if people choose not to use it. A major difference that I see is that to start a competitor in, say, telecom infrastructure requires a massive amount of capital. To start a competitor with Twitter requires very little capital in comparison, although to succeed requires reaching some network effect.

If an argument about vital services is to be applied, I think it is much better applied to something more foundational to the internet, such as domain name registrars or ISPs.

I agree that it's being done, but I don't think it's being done by a company paid by clients. If I really really loved Rust, or OCaml, or whatever, joining with a few people to promote it (by talking about it, writing articles, but also writing high quality libraries and contributing to the ecosystem) would be the logical thing to do. You often hear "I'd love to use $NEW_THING but the ecosystem isn't big enough.". That's something you can start fixing with a few dedicated people. If you really believe in a technology, or really love it, you can try to influence its course and popularity. You can promote it at your job, try it on a greenfield project, etc.
I started with a Raspberry Pi, but as my setup got larger it got slower, so now I use an Intel NUC8 (not just for HA, I run ESXI on it and HA is one of the VMs). My network is predominantly Z-Wave so I use an Aeotec Z-Wave stick to interface with it.

See, a company that is user orientated would be appalled by such resonance regardless of numbers and would try to alleviate concerns. Microsoft doesn't do any of that. Their escalating behavior cannot really be explained away.

But this isn't how other insurance policies work, at least in the US. Let's say I destroy someone's property today using my truck. Something simple, like I drive across their front yard and break their water line. I leave the scene and just go home.

6 months later, an investigation is conducted and they find surveillance footage of me driving in and out of the neighborhood and come to the conclusion that I broke the water line. A claim is made against my insurance. At that point, it doesn't matter if the policy is still active or even if I'm dead. The liability insurance I have will cover the cost of the damages provided someone gathers enough evidence and presents it.
A stock is a residual claim on the assets of a business and the cash flows those assets generate. A digital token is an entry in a database that…entitles you to say you have an entry in a database. And it is typically a pretty lousy database in every way but Byzantine fault tolerance.

I don't think that unethical behavior can simply be justified by some other unethical behavior, especially when personal opinions are involved.

Analogies are often not very useful but consider this: there's this traffic light close to my house and even though there's usually not much traffic, the red phase is much, much longer than any other light I've ever waited at. I don't know what they were thinking but it's crazy long. I go there multiple times each day and I don't want to know how much of my life I already wasted just waiting at that light. For me personally that is into "unethical" territory, so I started just running that red light now. I make sure, though, that I only do it when there's no chance for an accident. I'm very much in favor of solving the issue through different ways long-term, but until then, meh. But YMMV of course.

Maybe here's a better one: there's this really good bakery close to my house. They make everything fresh from scratch, and the smell alone when you walk by is absolutely amazing. Their croissants especially are to die for and there's usually long lines in the morning. I love them too, because they're really heavenly but they come at a price point. I mean, it's always been a bit more than I could/should afford but they're so good! But last month, they even raised the price by another pound. It's actually quite ridiculous now - I mean, do they make their croissants out of gold? There should be a law against such prices! And I know that each day, they have to throw out a handful of croissants at the end of the day that they couldn't sell, probably because of the high price?! For me personally that is into "unethical" territory, so now I just started quickly running into the bakery, grabbing one of the croissants and booking it. That saves me a lot of money, and I can enjoy those beautiful goods again, hmm! I'm very much in favor of solving the issue through different ways long-term, but until then, meh. But YMMV of course.
I'm not sure what discussion you are having, but mine is centered around reality.

Looking at this graph, if annual emissions stay roughly constant (around WW2) then CO2 levels also stay roughly constant, even though cumulative emissions are rising:

You can argue that at current levels of annual emissions this isn't the case, but then I would like to see some evidence.
The reason I doubt this is that Apple has gone to many lengths to make their phone as sleek as possible. How hard would it be to have batteries slide into the side of the phone or have a removable panel on the back? If any device company could find an innovative solution to this problem its Apple.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just define a function if you needed multi lines.

For the same reason that you wouldn’t necessarily define a function every time you wanted more than one line in the body of an if statement or for loop.

In a functional programming style, typically most of your control structures are represented as higher-order functions and you pass them other functions where you might use nested blocks of statements in an imperative style.

That is, where imperative pseudocode might look like this:

for n in [0..10]:
output_array[n] = n * n

some corresponding functional pseudocode might look more like this:

output_array = for_each [0..10] (n -> n * n)

In some functional languages, it’s even idiomatic to write the supporting function so it reads more like this (borrowing Haskell’s $ notation, which avoids the awkward parentheses):

output_array = for_each [0..10] $ \n ->
n * n

Now you might want a multiline body for the supporting function in much the same situations that you might want a multiline body for the imperative for loop:

for n in [0..10]:
location = get_location(n)
route = fastest_route_to(location)
times[n] = average_journey_time(route)

times = for_each [0..10] $ \n ->
location = get_location(n)
route = fastest_route_to(location)
average_journey_time(route)

Similarly, if the logic you’re using in the inner part of the code is a self-contained concept, you might want to factor it out into a named function of its own in either case.

This functional style can be tidy and very flexible in languages that are designed to support it. However, I wouldn’t necessarily encourage it in a language like Python, precisely because Python’s syntax and language features don’t make it natural and concise to write like this.
Surprised? Nope.

Not a collection but I'm a big fan of Uber's pitch deck[1] because it's not flashy at all but very straight to the point with a strong structure around "what investors need to know about a seed stage company" without much faff around what they don't.

A counter example would be something like front.com's series A deck[2] which is very flashy and was also very successful. These days something in the middle would be most successful IMO.

An adjacent issue, not from a privacy standpoint, but from an "inappropriate use of tech" standpoint, is anti-plagiarism software.

A relative of mine recently took an English course, and constantly had to lobby for re-evaluation of low grades caused by false positives with Turnitin[1].

The issues were varied, but the most frustrating one was that passages in her paper that were quoted and footnoted were marked as "sourced from the internet". Turns out that would happen with any passage quoted from a book that someone put on the internet, somewhere.

Of course, instructors are supposed to manually review for this sort of thing, but it's such a basic miss. One that's going to get worse over time. People put existing source material on the internet, and it gets indexed.

Also, see this example from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/h731k/thank_god_for_tu... Argh.

To be fair, transitioning from any phone around the S7 era to an iPhone XR bought in 2020 would probably give you the same feeling of revelation.

The longest I've held on to a phone was the iPhone 7 Plus for ~4 years, but even after 2 and a 1/2 years it was starting to show it's age. By the time I got rid of it, a charge would last me a little over half a day from moderate use.
