I think it all comes down to judgement and there are definitely ways people can write code in their individual style without hurting maintainability.

That said, maintaining a codebase where there is a lot of variation in idioms, style and formatting can be a big headache.

It adds cognitive overhead and if you're changing files you constantly have to balance preserving the local style with other factors. E.g. if someone likes aligning their equal signs, and you add a new line where the LHS is one character longer, do you reformat the whole block?
The same occurs with Rust, we can even see that the no-op recompilation takes about 20ms.

It’s obviously just a rough estimate / comparison otherwise it’d be using hyperfine or something along those lines.

I don't have any reason to suspect that they don't.
This is the age-old problem with PR.

If a 3rd party shop botches a battery fix and the car burns down killing all the passengers the headlines won't be "3rd party botch-job kills family in EV"

It will be "TESLA BATTERY FIRE KILLS FAMILY" and _maybe_ they'll mention the fact that the battery had 3rd party repairs in the middle of the article.

This is why companies don't want random 3rd party shops fixing sensitive stuff. No matter how good they are.
I dont often say this on the internet but WFT?

I am autistic. I love coding.

A single person can create wonderful software
that is a gift to everyone as open source.

I hate trying to be an extrovert and engage with a lot of people. I hate twitter and discord

Does that mean that I and people like me cannot do open
source in 2021?

Most of these seem like detriments more than anything.

* Engagement on Twitter
* Official Discord chat room
* Public roadmap
* Predictable release cycles
* Welcoming community involvement in shaping new features and tackling technical debt
* Cultivating working relationships with wider ecosystems (in this case Ruby, Jamstack, etc.)
I've been thinking like that sometimes, that in a way one never gets older than eighteen (or 19 or 20), only the body does
> But the alternative is the kids get COVID. It's not a question of if but when.... Sure they'll probably be OK when they get it, most kids are, but it seems completely reckless to just send them with the hope that they won't get a bad case.

From the statistics I've seen, the risk to children is comparable to the risk from RSV or influenza, and less than the risks of driving them to and from school. I'm curious if you've seen different data.
Ah, that's the thing.. I don't have a reason/need for using a fast 2d library. It's that Pixie's Nim API makes me want to have a reason. Like maybe it'd be fun to write a modern plotting backend with it! Currently even one of Julia-lang's best plot backends uses a C-based plotting library, GR [1]. It's a pain to use from raw C bindings though. :/ Also while Rust is great, I'm too lazy to program in it. All them `& mut<RC<box<mything>>` things. ;) (Yes I know that's not real Rust code...) Though tiny-skia does look like a well done library!

Also brake wear is lower because of regenerate braking.
That's unfortunate. The OVH / low cost comparison (as in the sibling comment) is not encouraging. I'll stay away for sure. Thank you
This is really nice.

And more generally speaking, having much smaller states where you could drive 10mn to the state next door to do things your own is too dumb or too corrupt to let happen is a fantastic idea.

Competition FTW !
Weird how there are almost no doctors being fired/quitting.
Actually deeply thinking of plant lifecycle and morality of it all is interesting question. Is it morally more wrong to feed grass to cow after it has shed its seed than to eat fruits and prevent their seeds from spreading? Clearly in first case plant is already dying, but has done it's life and procreation. On other hand later case is clear exploitation comparable to abortion.

It doesn't need to be as good as the grass fed kobe beefsteak, it just needs to be as good as the feedlot mcdonalds hamburger. I'm optimistic about lab meat -- not because it will make everybody vegan (it won't), but because it might be able to create an alternative to the cheap factory-farmed meat we have today, enabling us to pass legislation to ban abusive factory farming practices without severely affecting consumers. The people who want quality meat will go to farmers like you, the people who want a chicken tender will buy it from the lab-grown folks, and the net amount of suffering in the universe decreases just a little.
Ask HN: Name of form that a U.S. employer can fill to pay a Canadian employee?
A year ago think I saw someone here mention a form that a U.S employer can fill to pay a Canadian that works for them remote in Canada.

However, I don't remember what it's called.
my experience with HN usage is that "its not as fast as chrome" or "the dev tools arent as good as chrome".

My experience with "normal" people; we the nerds told them to install chrome 10 years ago and now they are used to it.

Personally I use Firefox and have done since it came out as it's fast enough for me and I'm not a front-end dev so the dev tools suit my limited use.
Generally grazers don't kill plants though, they eat grasses that continue to grow.
Its not a glitch. Its completely unrealistic, but its in fact designed like that to discourage death-balls.

You can search on "stack" in the Civ2 manual to see many, many references to how entire stacks will die all at once! (http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.365). This manual proves that Civ2 designers intended stacks to work like that.

Even the "glitchy" behavior of Bombers "defending" a stack (ie: bombers are an air unit, so they are "immune" to ground units attacking them. Therefore, a bomber "in a stack" makes the whole stack immune), is in fact referenced in the manual (!!!). The Civ2 developers had 100% intension of encouraging this "gamey" behavior.

-----------

Civ1 likely was the same, but was a much worse game. (I'm pretty salty about militias beating my battleships in Civ1) But hey, Civ1 was just the first iteration of the game, lol. Civ2 was when the game was rebalanced / revamped into a better game.

Civ3 and Civ4 started to diverge from the original plans rather severely.
Do we expect too much? Just like with Mozilla? We want them to be a force for good, but they also need to be effective. Though this is less true for Rust than for Mozilla, Rust the language shouldn't really need a revenue
We have to crawl about 60-80k news websites per day [0].

I've spent about 1 month to test how scrapy could be a fit for our purposes. And, quite surprisingly, it was hard to design a distributed web crawler. Scrapy is great for those in-the-middle tasks where you need to crawl a bit + process data on the go.

We ended up just using requests to crawl the web. Then post-process the web pages in the next step.

Many thanks to Zyte [1] (ex-ScrapingHub) for open-sourcing so many wonderful tools for us. I've spoke to Zyte's CEO, and was really fascinated how he still being a dev person while running such a big company.

Of course you can have overachievers, I suspect this is a very American perspective. Japan Airlines' CEO makes $90K a year. Money isn't the be all and end all, promotions come with more pay and more social status.

[edit] did you not have overachievers in high school and college? I suspect they weren't getting paid! Quite the opposite.
Putting the blame on influencers makes no sense. Content creators play this game but they didn't create it, companies participating in the market created this environment and ultimately fund these influencers. A content creator is basically a paid actor.
If you are just doing one or two pages, say you want to get weather for your location, then requests is sufficient. But if you want to do many pages where you might want to scan and follow, requests gets tedious very quickly.
Yes I needed this. Setting boundaries enables you to do better. Too many times my work has been substandard because I've taken on too much. Saying no is hard for me but the alternative is often letting people down when I'm not able to complete on time.

There is a thrill to completing urgent last minute tasks but often it's just me bailing someone out who should have been more organized.
This might work out well in practice when tracking a single effect with a monad (e.g. with Haskell's `do` notation) but I think it quickly falls apart when working with multiple effects. Monads don't have a general form of composition - at the very least the order that they're composed matters to the outcome of the program. Procedural code is generally flexible enough to allow you to mix-and-match how effects gets handled, which I think would be difficult and impractical to work out in monadic contexts.
when people are on 0 hour contracts, the company still has to pay social insurance for the employee. Some of which are not bound to the hours worked.

Also, a 0 hour contract is a iffy construct. If someone can show they worked N hours on the regular, they have the right to get a contract on the amount of hours they worked.
Also, 0 hour contracts are only allowed for a limited number of times afaik. (2x up to one year i believe).

That's because the old parts are worth money. Check how much extra they want if you request your old tires after getting new ones. Hey, they took money off! Because folks might want your old batteries but they sure as hell don't want your old tires.
It's a different story in a gas station parking lot with just your space saver jack. Personally I'll always prefer working from above a removed wheel where I have more mechanical advantage and can avoid laying on the ground.

Sometimes you do get lucky on the fronts though, if the puncture is near the outside edge. Especially if your vehicle has a lot of caster presenting more of the wear surface at full lock.

But either way, we're deep in the realm of "sounds too much like manual labor to me" for someone drawing the line at attaching a can of green slime to the valve stem and pressing down the button. Wheel on or off, it ain't happening.
Agreed about Mastodon, unfortunately.

But that has not been my experience with Matrix.
It's surprisingly decent if you pick songs that are already somewhat compatible. It's understandably terrible at deciding when to bring up vocals of either song (often having both playing at once) but I could see something like this working to help get some ideas if you already had something in mind.

For example, I put in two songs that I've actually mashed up manually. It wasn't nearly something you could consider "complete" or even "good" but it gives an idea of how it might work.
It doesn't have a vtable, it has enough space for vptr, but vptr isn't even initialized. It's true that thing is larger than your trivial class.
in high school, the only time that happened was when they unconstitutionally forced me to stand for the pledge of allegiance. in college, 90% of my classes were engineering or math, with zero politics, and the other 10%, if there was any political stuff it was negligible.

i was required to take one class to become a resident assistant that you would probably consider as being mostly designed to shove political beliefs down my throat but in my opinion an understanding of those topics was relevant and necessary to being able to serve a diverse group of residents.
Your interpretation of "a group you are a member of" as referring to formal membership in the Rust Foundation specifically, rather than membership in the Rust community generally* seems like it gets at one of the issues in dispute, namely, whether there is an effort by corporate participants in the RF to (re)define what Rust is.

(*): "community membership" is necessarily somewhat nebulous, but Steve is, undeniably, a member of the Rust community.
All major auto manufacturers sub-contract parts of their cars to third parties. It doesn't matter who designed it, what matters is who slaps their logo on it, and ships it to the end user.

I, as a customer, don't have a business relationship with that subcontractor. I do have a business relationship with the manufacturer. They own the profits, and they own the problems. If the subcontractors they choose produce crap, it is reflected in ratings of their products.
For the order of fn composition, I found the pipe operator found in e.g. Elm really nice.
> It’s a respiratory virus. Not unlike many of its kind.

It's very much unlike others of its kind. And it is novel. It is literally called a "novel coronavirus". Just to give you an idea how deadly and different this virus is:

- An outbreak of Ebola from 2014 to 2016 killed 11,310 people in West Africa.

- In 2009, the H1N1 pandemic killed approximately 12,469 people in the US.

- In 2014, during the MERS-CoV pandemic, 2 people in the US tested positive.

- As of today, COVID-19 has killed 661,000 people in the US.

COVID-19 is 53 times more deadly than the last major coronavirus pandemic in the US. Fifty. Three. Times.

> We have a vaccine for it.

We have a vaccine developed for the first variant of it, alpha. The vaccine was not developed against the delta variant. There is a drastic difference in its effectiveness against delta. Hence why there are now new mask mandates - for vaccinated people - where delta is rampaging. Are you telling me you didn't know this at all?

> I’ve done my part. My obligations to society are over.

Actually, no, society literally requires you by law to continue to wear masks in places where Delta is surging. But whatever; you want to kill people, you're gonna kill people.

I get it. You're petrified. But life will get better, and it does indeed change. "Normal" does shift. People didn't used to wear condoms, now they do (except for you). People didn't used to brush their teeth, now they do (except for you). People didn't used to wash their hands, now they do (except for you). You apparently live in 1750, where medical science and overall culture hasn't changed for hundreds of years, where everything is totally normal and will never ever ever ever Ever EVER change. Because everyone else is just insane, and you're normal.

Denial is a nicer place to live than reality.
total annihilation aircraft were pretty fun things to blob, although they were fragile and vulnerable to splash damage, particularly to the flak weapons that were added in the expansion. a glorious thing about total annihilation was the ballistics model: ground units without dedicated anti-air weapons could attempt to fire their guns at aircraft -- nearly all the time they'd miss, but occasionally a heavy tank could land a lucky hit and maybe take out a cluster of aircraft.

my favourite highly blobbable unit for fooling around in single player was advanced construction aircraft. i guess if you've got enough resource income to support 20+ advanced construction aircraft rush building lines of long-range artillery, you've probably already won.
This is really great. I've been looking for exactly this kind of tool as I look at possible projects related to aviation. Thank you for this.
True, but consider the following. Every single restaurant waiter and uber driver is already a member of set 2. In fact, even more so - they are taking jobs with zero or below-minimum-wage, with the expectation that they will earn more from variable income. Uber, lyft, and the dining industry hasn't had too much trouble hiring people from set 2.

I agree that set 1 is larger and preferable to Amazon. But if set 1 is outlawed, they will simply transition to set 2 instead. Or give everyone a pay cut and hire more people. Not pay their employees the same wage for lower output.
Always Be Replacing Yourself
I mean this is very Anti-HN zeitgeist, but it's a way to preserve easily accessible middle class jobs and prevent local profit pools from accruing to corporations headquartered elsewhere.

From a consumer perspective it reduces welfare (like most worker protections do), but similar to real estate agents, car dealerships are very active in lobbying local governments (in part b/c the amount of jobs they 'create').

Nikon Small World Announces the Winners of the 47th Annual Photo Competition
This resonates with me as I am consuming content on these four social media platforms as well with the same thinking. It's always interesting to get to know some ingenious engineering detail about constructing bridges from Youtube, or a first-hand opinion from some analyst on some niche on Twitter or like in this case a discussion about drawbacks of a certain digital lifestyle.

However I also always wondered whether one of these is better than others, and how I would curate it in a better way. Is actively commenting on HN better than passively watching engineering videos? What about active engagement on YT, and passively reading on HN? Most stuff will be forgotten in a couple of days/weeks anyway as you said, but some will stick or add up to your overall knowledge/behaviour and similar to sifting mud for eventual nuggets of gold this is what keeps me doing it.

I just recently read something about using your consumption time for productive work (not necessarily job-work, but hobby-work) and I'm thinking about more stuff I could create to overcome the consumption trap. Ironically however I probably read it on HN as well.
Looks great. What is the funding model for the project? What are the current costs?
> First world might, other countries don't. So it would be easy to get citizenship from one of those and then use it to bypass the cap.

In this case I was saying that quotas and caps would still apply but be basted on citizenship instead of place of birth. If everyone started buying Cayman Islands citizenship instead, the quota would fill up fast.

> Indian nationals applying for fraudulent visas.

Again, that's not self-imposed.

> Is it really? How's the VC ecosystem? Unicorns? Not long ago the government bragged to investors that Canadians devs were worth 50K less than their American counterparts. [0]

This is a new phenomenon, and it takes time to turn a boat. I think it would be pretty myopic not to see the trend, however. The ecosystem will follow in time.

[edit] I think Shopify was the defining moment when things started to turn. If an Ottawa startup can reach a $200B market cap in a few years, that's going to create a lot of wealth, spawn its own startups and an investment ecosystem in its own right.
> As the post states, with dates, there has never been any communication from them to discuss this matter. Only through laywers, since day 0. Even some of them, long-time personal friends of mine, where shut of and were banned to communicate even at a personal level. Not even with laywers present.

That's sort of a nonsensical take. Of course people with any sort of connection to the other side would be advised not to speak to you without a lawyer, and not to speak with a lawyer if they had nothing legally relevant to add. Your actions with regard to copyright were legal in nature, you should expect a legal response.

I think the very valid question in this is were you contacted in 2020 and told to cease and desist using a legal trademark by the current owners, and did you fail to do so? If that's true, I'm not sure what defense you have. As I see it, the only responsible action at that time if you really care about the issues you raise would be to cease and desist and open an dialogue that is not subject to legal proceedings and their need to defend their copyright lest they lose it.

> there should be one trademark holder (and we agree, read the proposal we submitted to them which got no reply!) then it should be a legal entity with more solid grounds than current Core's Group (which has no legal entity behind) or PAC, which is a quite opaque association too.

That's not for you to decide. The correct way to go about that is not to make the holding entity and then try to surreptitiously acquire the trademark, but to have approached the community first. Did you approach the community prior to attempting to take over an aspect of their management and holdings, or not? If you did, what was the response?

It's appealed, so this is a moot point.
> Anything that bears fruit is relying on an animal to come by and eat that fruit so that the seeds will be spread (either because the pit is hard to eat and the animal drops it, or because the seeds survive the animal's digestive tract).

Right, but that's not the plant, that's the fruit.
If you eat the plant itself, it's dead. Same as a cow.
It's a false notion that these influencers are the ones making these editorial decisions. Imagine you are in charge of ad spend for a large corporation. You majored literally in advertising with a minor in psychology, you don't give a damn about the morality beyond whether or not you leave profit on the table. You simply aren't going to hire influencers who don't play this game how you want it to be played and take advantage of these dark patterns. As a result, the market looks how it is because people who don't play the game aren't landing jobs.
It is worth noting that the linked $8500 repair anecdote took place over 5 years ago. Are there more recent examples, or did the situation improve?

My brother-in-law had just finished his pilot training and was trying to apply for a job as teacher to continue his training.

However, the jobs were first come, first serve so he was waking up at 4 am and constantly refreshing for hours trying to be the first one.

When I heard about it, I quickly whipped up a `curl | grep && send_notif` (used pushback.io for notifs) and it helped him not have to worry so much.

When a new job posting finally came along he was the first in line and got the job :)
That is a problem. Perl 6 and Python 3 did not go well.
To be honest if they wanted to host it I wouldn't mind. If it gets more players aware of it and helps promote the game then its a good thing.

Once I am finished this it will be posted to Github and released under the MIT license as the game has a lot of different variants and other folks have expressed an interest in using it.

They aren't the most technical folks though so I would be surprised if that was the case. Their website is a mess of 404s and bad links and they don't even know how to go through their error logs to find them to fix them.
