I don’t think that when people say “Rust has ugly syntax” they mean that Rust has ugly syntax. It seems that what they are complaining about is actually Rust semantics, which needs extra syntax to express it.

Blog post idea: express this snippet (with references, aliasing control, generics and all) in pseudo C++, Java, Python, etc. Then express “reading a file in gc language with exceptions” in pseudo Rust.
Your own self-hosted service on rented server / cloud instance?
AFAIU (IANAL!!!) you can refuse to give evidences against yourself in most jurisdictions.

I don't thinks that dedicated server provider (like Hetzner) or cloud provider (like Digital Ocean or Vultr) stores traffic logs with enough details to be useful in such case.

But payment will be a problem...
It's true that it's impossible for an outside observer to tell whether a claim to consciousness, by a faithful simulation of a human mind, is genuine. That may mean that the question cannot be settled. It doesn't actually settle the question though.
As I went to look for the corresponding issue, I was surprised to not find the position among the open issues.

In fact it was closed as

https://github.com/tromp/ChessPositionRanking/issues/915

So I had classified it correctly, but only AFTER making the diagrams for the 1k sample.

That means the 538 count for the 10k sample still stands.
Good. Less things to fix on the README :-)

"We won't store your IP, except when its sought by the government, which is the only reason you'd ever realistically pay for a service that doesn't store your IP."

Brilliant!
I mean CD ladders were not a bad idea in the era of nontrivial interest rates...
Exactly, if a company is willing to go to court they can't be made to build backdoors like this, at least not yet. Hence why everyone was peeved at apple for siding with the government to add government spyware to every apple phone to make sure citizens comply.
Disclaimer: I have a ProtonMail account that I pay for.

I have seen a ton of disturbing pieces about ProtonMail. Every time I've looked into them, they seem to be maliciously motivated and usually not true, or otherwise twisting of the truth. This has been a confusing thing for me because why is there a small subset of people so vehemently against them?

In this case, I'm not surprised. They say quite clearly they can be compelled to collect IP addresses - including in the linked tweet. This seems like a pretty clear cut case of them being compelled to provide an IP address. What the authorities can't do, is read that person's email. And that's what I and others pay for.

I'm not sure what there is to be upset about here? Other than perhaps France prosecuting this individual to begin with? If we had faith that ProtonMail wouldn't hand over anything to the government, why would anyone even care about having encrypted emails?
> I've never visited an active conflict zone but I fully comprehend the danger of traveling to one for a holiday.

Do you, really? Without even knowing which conflict zone, or doing any research? All areas of violence have had and will have a similar danger level?
Probably not. Sounds like toenail fungus. I've had it and it is basically only treatable with oral Lamisil - which is nasty stuff, but does work well.
They're pretty much the same price, so buy the one that most-closely resembles a general purpose computer: the MacBook Air.

Besides, only the Air will do everything you listed adequately.

If that "tail risk" though is "complete destruction of the planet", you only get to be wrong once.
It’s surprising but even that author turns up a much more reasonable return on investment than I expected. His calculations suggest it’s possible to repay the energy costs, including orbit, after only a few years.

Though as he points out there’s lots of elements which are still impractical. Though I wonder if it could be worthwhile given that covering the Sahara with solar panels would change the global climate (particularly Brazil’s) (1). Space based arrays might be a possible way to avoid that. Or perhaps provide a power source for remote areas. A starlink for power would be intriguing.

Asymptomatic means asymptomatic. It doesn't mean low viral load. Asymptomatic people just aren't reacting poorly to having the virus in their system.

And there is evidence vaccinated people can spread it, there is also evidence indicating that you are 80% less likely to spread it.
It’s not just cooks, there are many other workers in a restaurant. I don’t think you raise prices 33%. But labor is about 40% of costs.

So a 33% change in labor increases prices quite a bit. And if everyone increases labor costs, then that drives up food and other materials.

So you will easily see price increases of 15-25%. If my local Mexican restaurant increases prices by that much, I and many other customers will not go as much.

This is super simple Econ101 stuff. Your example is flawed as there’s more than just cooks and there’s not a profit of $1/item.
But be far less skeptical than if it had come out of a Rupert Murdoch owned news source.
Those two things are very different in terms of difficulty. That is why you aren't doing them.
The other thing is, the concept of financial literacy is changing with the times.

The likes of Warren Buffet would probably tell you to never touch cryptocurrency, for example, but today, as of 2021, pretending it doesn't exist and being afraid of it is being horribly oblivious to what is going on in the financial world right now.

Four years ago you'd look like "one of those financially-illiterate hippies" for investing in Bitcoin, and become part of the laughing stock after the 2018 crypto crash, but if you had held onto a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies you'd probably be doing very well right now.

The truly financially literate learn to adapt to a changing world, embrace and try to understand new investment vehicles, and try to make sense of how they might shape the future.
Yeah, given her age and the time period she lived in, it certainly was a workable strategy. She was clearly retired at this point and was proud of her nest-egg and was willing to talk to me about it ("impart her wisdom"), which I definitely appreciated.

It really wasn't until the end of the discussion when I appreciated how different our income levels were. A lesson I'll remember later: its easy to forget income levels, as well as assume other people's income levels based off of conversation topics. Something I'll work on in the future.
> Creating the right indexes is the same as creating the right tables and columns in your data model: It depends on the business purpose and usage of the data.

Right, so the way this works is that the database collects instrumentation data and, over time, automatically applies strategies (indexing improvements being one of them) to improve its performance.

That's fair enough. I didn't grow up in an ideal environment, but I also did have enough encouragement to end up where I am today.
Your premise is incorrect, therefore your question answers itself.

> everyone can follow boring advice

No, they can't. This article was written solely to show that fact, that most people actually _cannot_ follow boring advice; they often want the quick and easy way out. This leads to their downfall, or at least, lack of progress. As an inverse, if everyone could follow boring advice, this article would need not have been written at all.
Can’t edit: I meant to write that this anonymous person speaks more casually than Phil wrote or spoke

b) "Sixty-three patients with positive PCR result were randomized into three arms of the study. There was 1 withdrawal, thus 62 patients completed the study" [0]

c) "We cannot conclude in this study that Ivermectin has a place in prophylaxis, but this warrants investigation." [0]

They won't. You'll have lists and lists and lists, and they'll just say "you live in a society, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy", and then expect you replace your walls with glass on your house.

They're too far gone if they still believe "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" so openly.

It’s certainly possible that they store IP addresses.

Even if they don’t, as long as they have the email address then they can probably find the mail server even if the payment is anonymous.
Trial group of 62 patients and no parasite screening in those patients - yawn. But could be interesting grounds for a more significant and controlled study with patients with comorbidities.
Presumably the rate of overdoses or bad reactions would stay the same for doctor prescribed ivermectin, so 24x more prescriptions would result in 24x more overdoses or bad reactions. Then throw in the people taking veterinary versions of the drug that have to be properly converted to a human dosage, and I'd expect the rate to go up, not down, as they would be more likely to experience ill effects.

> In practice, once a codebase gets above a specific size, it becomes completely impossible to exclude any features in a crate's default list because `default-features=false` only applies locally

Curious, what that specific size approximately is? For rust-analyzer, getting all the deps to use features correctly is rather annoying, but isn’t particularly time-consuming.
The whole Ivermectin controversy has been so strange given that it's known to be safe. If it's effective great and if not then there's no harm.
I share the same thoughts - and I hope one day we reach a level of automation/AI/cheap energy that everyone gets "for free" some sort of living allowance to pursue their own objectives in science or art.
Honest question, because I've been asking it of myself: what do you expect from such a service?

I basically decided to just give up. Email is an insecure protocol and there's not much that can be done about it. Choosing a "secure" email provider feels like choosing a "secure" VPN provider: it's impossible to verify the provider's claims so it's a kind of security theatre.
My experience was quads are way, way easier to learn and skate on than inline. Give them a try too maybe.
I don't get that implication from the article at all. What I do get is that the only transaction isolation level available under CockroachDB is serializable. And to show why serializable is valuable, they have to demonstrate using Postgres' default of read committed (because they would be unable to demonstrate this using CockroachDB which doesn't allow any other transaction isolation levels.

// your making $7.50/hr and have no capital to invest, then it's pointless.

Not pointless at all. It makes a difference whether you enter a vicious or virtuous cycle.

Imagine - Bob and Alice bothake 7.50. Bob is financially illiterate and doesn't have a bank account, so he pays a ridiculous fee to a check caching place every time. He also doesn't know to file his taxes so that he can get essentially all his taxes back since he makes so little.

So let's say Bob makes $6 after taxes and the check cashing fee.

Alice meanwhile is savy enough to have a bank account and file a tax return so she keeps all 7.50 of it.

At the end of the year, Alice has an extra $3,120 compared to Bob assuming 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. If she then saves it or invests it, she'll start making some return on it. Compared to Bob who has nothing.

My mom and I were very poor when we came to the US and we saw many people live like Bob but we recognizes that with a little thinking we can do much better than that.

My wife grew up wealthy-ish and never had to learn this stuff. She's a hard worker and always made more than she spent and she never really had to learn how to be smart and efficient with money. But if you are poor, you HAVE to figure that stuff out or you are dead. Financial literacy matters.
Please only take this medication by prescription from a medical doctor. Even if these results are replicated, there is a huge difference between 12mg/day IV for 5 days under medical supervision and consuming a tube of apple flavored paste containing 6 grams of ivermectin. Ivermectin is neurotoxic at high doses and can absolutely kill you.
Elon Musk is in dire need of huge and profitable space-based businesses to justify his big investment in Starship, which is way overkill for any existing space business. And he is incredibly motivated to solve climate issues and big into solar power specifically. And he has repeatedly pursued far-fetched pie-in-the-sky business ideas that are straight out of sci-fi. This business would be perfect for him in about ten different ways, so the fact that he's not doing it means to me that he is completely convinced that it is absolutely impossible to do profitably with current or near-future technology.

Yes and if my wife didn't bring articles and did her own research to her doctors she would likely be dead by now... Patients bringing info to doctors is extremely common. It also mean that doctors have to deal with a lot of BS unfortunately.

I'm also a Protonmail customer.

Tor solves this. Protonmail's Tor support is lukewarm. They have a Tor based login without captchas. It's mentioned on their homepage in the bottom menu under "Onion Site", (/tor). And there's one blog post from 2017 that still promotes their v2/shorter onion address.

I expect Protonmail to push its users to login through Tor. "Don't trust us, trust math". Embed Tor support in their apps as well. Rebuild their iOS app to offer to drive all connections through Tor.

And frankly, for $50 a year for email, I expect Protonmail to be thinking ahead about this, rather than me coming up with dumb ideas on a forum. Protonmail was neat in 2018 but 3 years later it's stagnant.
If you thought that Protonmail (or any other company) was going to go to break the law in order to avoid keeping logs on you despite a Swiss-backed warrant saying they had to do so, then you had the wrong impression. But I never got the impression Protonmail was saying that.
Some VPN providers run their servers without hard drives.
I saw a post on NIH studies showing possible benefits and people dismissing it because it wasn't a preponderance of evidence. Totally valid to dismiss a selected sample but made me realize there was more of a basis for its usage than, let's say, bleach.

That said, I was wrong, removed. I guess it's too much to ask for people to trust the recommended medicine, perhaps we should get more pro-vaccine conspiracy theories out there =/
That's a nice ideal and all but buying food usually comes before renters insurance. $200 a year matters. Seriously. To a lot of the world population that's a lot of money they can't afford to throw away on a chance.
as I understand it...and I am not an expert but have been exposed to some similar systems just not with Airbus...I believe the following is correct at a systems design level:

* There are three flight 'computers' (boxes) (its more complex than that but that complexity is not germane to your question)

* each box has two entirely different motherboards with different processors and independent software inside of it

* each motherboard takes the same inputs and calculates the appropriate outputs.

* if those outputs disagree, inside of the same box, you get a COM/MON fault and the box/system takes an appropriate action...such as disengaging

* once all of THAT happens in a single box...the boxes are also looking to see if all three boxes are agreeing with each other. This is where you get 'voting.

* if all three boxes agree, great! If two agree, disregard the third. If none agree, execute fault fallbacks.

* If you run out of computers doing things that make sense - shut the computers off and make really loud noises to alert the pilots they are on their own

so...you have the computer agreeing with itself and then you have the computers agreeing with each other. Both are important/critical for fault tolerance.
It doesn’t even have to be intentional.
We (Tailscale employees) all feel that same pain so we continue to think about it. It's not the highest priority, but it's a priority.
Those people would say its a waste because they're imagining energy as a medium for the delivery of physical things. When energy fails to deliver something physical, they view it as a waste.

Money and value are social abstractions, not physical things. As an example: without trust in a government, fiat money would not function, and would become valueless.

Energy is the link between the physical world and the social-abstract human world.
If its effective it means there is a treatment available. If there is a treatment available in the beginning stages of ncov19 then the justification for EUA, by law, becomes invalid.

And pfizer and pharma companies lose billions and billions of dollars.

When I was young my outgoings were mainly the cheapest rent I could find. And maybe a slice of avocado toast once a week /s

This is because rents rise to the amount someone is willing to pay, which is basically what they earn, because they have to live somewhere near work. If they get free board then they can swiftly build up savings and buy a house and continue the cycle of wealth. If they have to pay, they're screwed.

Do we have any data on the base rate of parasite infections in Lagos?
If you look on Twitter there are other methodological concerns people have with this study. The more important thing is just that it's relatively old, and there have been meta-analyses done; like, lots of people are studying the ivermectin question, and the weight of the evidence doesn't seem to be positive.

Here's Cochran's meta-study; Cochran is, from what I can tell, very well-regarded. It appears to include this study. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

Later

For what it's worth: the boy rebuts this with the observation that you'd expect worsening symptoms for patients with actual parasitic infection, since there's an immune response to necrotic parasite tissue when ivermectin works. None of us here are ivermexperts though!

I think you mean "probability" rather than severity. The severity of setting the atmosphere on fire is extreme, but the probability turned out to be vanishingly small. Or perhaps you mean risk, probability times severity. Which also turned out to be negligible for the events in the article.

- Artificial General Intelligence

- CRISPR gene editing

- Gain-of-function work with viruses

The reality is that most customers do not care about security, which allows companies to basically ignore it until there is a high-profile case directly attributable to a flaw in os. Which might be then individually fixed, with no fundamental changes to a general approach.
I added 0b binary literals to the Datalight C compiler nearly 40 years ago, and put them in D, too. It sounds like a great idea, but it turns out to just not be useful in practice. One of the problems is the unwieldy length of them (and yes, you can group them in D with _ ).

Some people struggle because they make poor financial decisions, sure, but I’d bet that’s the exception rather than the rule. There’s a post about being poor(ish) that’s shown up on HN a few times [1]. I think far more people in that situation are financially savvy, acutely aware of the pros and cons of their limited options, simply because there’s so little margin for error.
