I just tested this. It took me 43 second to build a new project with reqwest as a dependency. The second build took 0.55 seconds. If that's exceptional difficulty, I'm underpaid.

Maybe the lesson here is to update Rust if you haven't used it in a while?
Were Juniper informed of the vulnerability at the time they made the decision? It appears not.
notice the (JTA). It's a newsire (ala the AP, but with a focus on jewish adjacent subjects), and hence lots of publications subscribe and reprint their articles.

heck, it even says it on the bottom: "The post A Hasidic rabbi created a Shabbat jacket for carrying guns in synagogues appeared first on Jewish Telegraphic Agency."
> That's surreal.

No, that's expected behavior and will eventually happen approaching the limit of 100% of the time.

Even worse, a backdoor is often a greater security risk than normal authorization because the backdoor can often access all the data, not just a single user's data.

In short, if you are in government, do not ask for backdoors, if you are in the private sector do not make backdoors. Backdoors are a flawed idea that leads to very bad things for everyone (private sector losses hit government in the pocketbook, too).

WagonR is known in India as an unkillable car. The suspension is jarring, guess its a constraint for a tall car. A glaring omission in the article IMO.
> It's a common practice with Rust crates to split a project into reusable parts.

Precisely this. Rust is not the same as Go or Java or Python: it's still a fairly low-level language. Standard practice is to build lower-level components (like http parsing and url crates) that are abstracted over by more 'friendly' crates (like reqwest). It's jarring, and certainly different from a lot of other languages, but it's a testament to the language's flexibility in my eyes.
Why does fashion of the kind "this is the look right now" and "that look is so last season" exist?

To what degree would we do fashion naturally, if there weren't parties looking to exploit fashion dynamics for selfish advantage?

The comment you responded to was using base64 as an example. That's why your comment is a nitpick in this conversation.

And yeah, I doubt I would support including base64 in std unless there were a compelling reason to do so. I can't think of one.

People said the same cynical comments about not being able to build skyscrapers alongside the coast of New York City, which would be impossible to excavate deep underground without flooding the city. We should look into improving the infrastructure and innovating our urban planning layouts to better handle these natural disasters rather than just abandoning them. Yes, hurricanes will continue to strengthen, but improving building codes and adding more canals and waterways for flood control can mitigate many of the deadly problems. For what it's worth, New Orleans is a historic city with a rich culture.
I want a news organisation to look at 10 jobs that cannot be filled and compare them to the broader market. As most of the unfillable jobs in my area seem to be manufacturing/outdoor labour that pay as much as retail (which seems a lot nicer) or jobs seeking experienced people at entry level pay.

Even for people on nightly builds of the compiler, I would be quite surprised if nearly anyone actually bothered to upgrade their compiler every night. Most people on nightly are just going to be there for the use of a specific unstable feature.
The core argument sounds kind of duff

>Since neither physics nor Darwinian biology—the concept of evolution—can account for the emergence of a mental world from a physical one, Nagel contends that the mental side of existence must somehow have been present in creation from the very start.

I mean Tesla cars can form a neural network model of the world around them. I don't think you have to go beyond physics to explain this stuff.
" it is a necessary side-effect of large ecosystems"

It depends a lot.

Java has a huge ecosystem, but almost all of the core functionality is provided for you.

Like everything there's a 90/10 rule in that 90% of the 'things we need' really amount to only 10% of the total packages out there, so it actually makes sense that the people backing the platform provide for it.

Language, compiler, debugger, documentation, tutorials, standard libraries etc. - it's all part of the platform.

Looking at it that way, it becomes a little more obvious why even some cool languages don't quite breakthrough.
Add: Perhaps my Google fu is lacking, but I am not able to validate "decent sub $50 phones have been around for years". With these specs, that is. I can't find anything on Amazon, Walmart and TMobile under 50.
I agree and that's pretty sad. FOSS gives the opportunity to code review.
Painfully obvious too. My little local Mexcian place will be closing down because of a lack of cooks. Talking to the owner, he was complaining about government benefits, and how they all want $20 an hour.

I don't understand it, that you'd either

a) be willing to drive your business into the ground serving a limited menu because you won't hire a couple cooks at $20 an hour, or

b) have a business so close to the brink of shutting down that an additional $20-50 an hour will shutter you.

He chose option A I guess...
That sure blows the mind.

I always thought that if government had a role to play in our lives this stuff should be near the top if not at the top of the list but I don't know of any country where it works the way I think it should work: The employee makes a single phone call (just like calling the police only slower), the gov agency calls the employer and instructs him to follow the rules leaving zero ambiguity. If he fails to immediately and retroactively correct his mistake an investigation and a fine follows. Ideally the employee is also compensated appropriately. If they lose their job in the process a year salary seems reasonable.

Why else spend millions to write all those laws if we are not going to implement them? Seems a waste of money? Why go to court for obvious things? In NL they have to steal more than 10% of your salary or the case will be dismissed. It's probably much less expensive than the US but it ain't cheap and you can forget ever getting promotion or a raise even if they don't just fire you.

We do in theory have such an agency in NL but they are more hunting for slave labor and cursory investigate pre-announced sectors one by one.
Stop spreading misinformation that can kill people. You're not a physician. You don't know what you are talking about.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it was. I remember not wanting to rollerblade much after my friends started getting into skateboarding for that reason. That and they were inconvenient because you had to carry your shoes around with you or the rollerblades once you changed to your shoes. It was easier, and cooler looking, to carry a skateboard. I do remember enjoying them though. They were fun to rip around on.

I did grow out of skateboarding though, then that longboarding craze came out and I never really got into it.

Funny enough, these days, I'd probably be more willing to go rollerblading somewhere than skateboarding if I had the chance.
What do you think of fields like medicine or biology where preprints can become a source of misinformation. For example a lot of conspiracy around unproven treatments for covid, vaccine efficacy, and vaccine safety directly source preprints that never make it to publication.

Oracle doesn't own Rust though, there's no real push to onboard these features besides the general curb-cutting efforts for newcomers. For the most part, 'integral' crates like serde and tokio have been community-managed without issue so far, so it doesn't make much sense to pull one open-source developers passion project from them and pass it to another.
YouTube did rewrite on Google infrastructure - there was a paper they published c. 2008 about how they were leveraging Google's cloud to scale. It was largely back-end stuff; IIRC they moved from MySQL to BigTable, adopted Google's blobstore & CDN, integrated with Google's machine-learning systems, etc. They were allowed to choose which parts of Google's infrastructure they wanted, though. AFAIK the front-end was still Python when I left Google the first time in 2014, and it wouldn't surprise me if it still is now.

i doubt you are able to get the same features out of whitebox hardware.

Juniper's core routers have neat features in terms of redundancy. failing over a FPC (card with ASIC) to another routing engine(control plane) without downtime or packet flow impact is a big one. Performance might be there on the lower end (<40g), but there are a lot of features which require asics.

Another example is QoS/CoS without impacting performance or queues. These are the kind of things you cannot handle at the CPU without impacting traffic performance, which bites you when you are doing major traffic flows.
As a side note, looking at this block of code, the syntax is just so ugly and overcrowded. I don't get how a relatively new language ended up looking so messy so fast; it's like no one cared about readability.
Maybe the conservatives are civilly being disobedient to a law they consider immoral.

This looks like it does what it sets out to do well. I think commits and changelogs serve separate purposes, but I have gone to commit some changes and wanted to at least see the text from the changelog enough times that I wrote a prepare-commit-message git hook to help out. It detects changelogs and starts out the commit message with any new lines, or puts a little (commented) message in the commit message if no changelogs were altered, kind of as a reminder to think about whether the changes being committed really should include updates to the changelog. It's been very helpful, so much so that I installed it as a global hook!
If you are using the English language and names chosen to have unique starting letters in the Latin alphabet, starting with the first letter of that alphabet and moving forward, you have not meaningfully avoided Western (and more specifically Anglosphere) cultural bias, and avoiding domain-specific conventional names for that reason is a particularly meaningless gesture.

If a company refuses, they are making a decision (more of a gamble). Corporations will almost universally sacrifice customer safety for profit. Especially when they are making a decision between "for sure losing opportunity money" and "maybe losing money after a court case".

That does not mean they aren't liable when things go bad.

I’ve been looking into buying a pair of roller blades for the past month or so. Any recommendations?

What you call a "five-alarm fire" is people getting nice large raises.
We use a Qualified Small Business HRA administered through PeopleKeep.

Basically your employees buy their own insurance plans and submit for reimbursement up to a specified dollar amount. They can also be reimbursed for other qualified medical expenses in addition to health insurance premiums.

Using this program the employees do not qualify for healthcare subsidy.

We tried to do a traditional group plan initially, but didn’t have enough employees in a single state to qualify.

Building Construction Complexity and the Construction Community of Practice
JSON blob + columns is the recommended approach for handling semi-structured data in ClickHouse. It's easy to add columns on the fly, since you just give the expression to haul out the data using a DEFAULT clause. ClickHouse applies it automatically on older blocks without rewriting them. For new blocks it materializes the data as rows are inserted.

I'm afraid I can't find the graph, but I saw something showing that food service revenue has fully rebounded since the pandemic while food service employment has not. That would imply that labor saving is already in effect. It would also be unsurprising that not every restaurant would handle it equally well.
No mutual agreement is needed. Either player can decide to claim a draw by threefold repetition (§9.2) or 50 moves (§9.3). The only difference with the fivefold repetition and 75 move rules (§9.6) is that those draws are automatic.

Oh please. We have multiple vaccines that have all been demonstrated to be safe and highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID in multiple studies.

Ivermectin has had decidedly mixed results in very limited early trials, and may not be effective at treating COVID at all.

The only reason people are taking ivermectin when safe, effective, and FREE vaccines are available is because of politics.

I disagree with this conclusion. I think websites being able to detect or interfere with devtools should be considered a security bug. Do we give up on stopping XSS and memory corruption because it's too hard to detect every possible case of them too?

It might be partly a US vs. UK/EUR thing, where the latter are more comfortable with compelling industry to just do a thing. And the former is very uncomfortable with that.

In the US, open banking would probably look more like "the IRS requires a bank to have accounts readable using these formats, or otherwise be able to provide same manually, when requested" to prod industry to do it.
You really don't know what you're talking about facebook sends tons of CSAM violations the number that are actually looked into are on the order of (10's out 100's of thousands of reports). This is clearly the government getting around the 4th amendment by proxy. You can call it whatever you like but it's a total invasion of privacy to gain little or no security. It's 1984 levels of dystopian. Under your thought regime this should be extended to all documents scanned for any thought crimes. Wouldn't we all be safer if we do that?

Would they still allow telcos to shut down 3g infra like other countries? That would make 3g-only devices much worse.

And is there any chance they will require phones to inform they have a failed battery? I know people say their phones are slow, overheat and drain fast so they need an entire new phone.
Underrated comment. A lot of “growth” is tricks. I have seen so many software companies sacrifice the fundamental health of the product in order to hit certain “growth” numbers, on the assumption that they’ll just be able to keep doing it. But the more realistic outcome is either acquisition (pass the buck and reset the clock) or catastrophic failure.

The 5% and greater savings rates for crypto and stable coins right now are pretty hard to resist. Crypto lending is also huge allowing people to make secured loans against their invested crypto.

All of the local restaurants have raised prices. I've overheard a few restaurant owners talking and it seems customers don't like even small price increases. They also indicate the price increases are necessary for supply costs even as they raise wages and can't fill positions.

A lot of restaurants are just cutting menus/services to be able to stay on top of demand. This strikes me as hugely economically inefficient, but whatever they don't have much choice in the matter.

People on HN like to say "just raise wages" but I don't think they like to consider what a world without affordable restaurants looks like. Maybe that is the way to go, but there should be more acknowledgement that "pay every cook like a software engineer" means there will be far fewer restaurants and far fewer people employed as cooks.
