Last year, we started with the official docs tutorial at https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/hello.html

The recording and more findings is at https://everyonecancontribute.com/post/2020-10-07-cafe-3-git...
The session took longer, because we failed to understand the principle of modules at first. We solved it after a while.

A more advanced attempt included Rocket.rs and Prometheus metrics instrumentation: https://everyonecancontribute.com/post/2021-06-30-cafe-36-ru...

For learning Rust (and later teaching), I got 2 books:

- Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/programming-rust-2nd/97...

- Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play https://pragprog.com/titles/hwrust/hands-on-rust/

I love gamification when learning things, and game development is something I always wanted to learn.

For a learning dev environment, I recommend Gitpod in your browser. Cargo and rustc come pre-installed in the default workspace image. A short example is in this blog post: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/07/19/teams-gitpod-integr... (search for "Learn new programming languages: Rust")

More learning resources are at https://www.rust-lang.org/learn

You're one of the first people I've seen defending these points. Do you have any well sources articles that back up any of the points you are making?

OKHSL works a lot better than the alternatives. It's really nice!

OKHSV doesn't seem as good, and neither do the other new ones.
As a side note I do something not as powerful as what is described here but it helps me focus. I combine the non-essential amino acid L-Theanine (from green tea) with caffeine to give me a more calm focused mind. Again, nowhere near as powerful as these drugs but there are also no side effects that I know of. Maybe this could be an alternative for some folks?

Another poster mentioned H1B visa holders, and I'm sure that is a valid concern there, given how poorly H1B holders are treated. But as a citizen, I've heard this many times, been told it to my face during sit downs with my boss while refusing to do something shady, and it has never happened. On two occasions, the threat was idle. On two more, I quit and they never did find anyone to replace me.

But regardless, even if it were true, you still need to protect your own soul. Better to let someone else corrupt themselves.

Isn't the definition of a nootropic a drug taken for the purposes of cognitive enhancement?

So adderall is both an amephetamine and a nootropic?
Purchase was national, rollout per-country (though they did all do it pretty much the same way, with broadly similar results)
The difference is that in a very short period of time, numerous people can end up with the virus. The diseases you listed are distributed over the year. You don't see thousands of people getting a heart attack in a week in the same area. COVID puts the healthcare system at risk because it is a sudden surge of cases which ends up being overwhelming.
Exactly - gasoline is a loss leader just like eggs and milk are in supermarkets.
There is a fundamental difference between developing a biological weapon and a leak of a pathogen being analyzed as part of research program. There is absolutely as far as I know no reason to believe that covid is a biological weapon. Such a virus in fact would be an awful weapon. It acts very slowly relative to any evolving conflict with someone who has ample access to weapons that act of minutes and hours vs months and years. It is near impossible to broadly vaccinate your own population without telegraphing your intent to act and probably leaking your vaccine and may mutate beyond your ability to control it and damage your own population.

It is like being in an armed standoff in a building full of soldiers from each side and "attacking" the enemy by setting fire to the building you are all in.

A virus is a weapon of terror not war. It is unfit for purpose.

I’m so tired of these stories.

Yes, it’s horrible. I’ll be outraged for an evening.

But what can I ultimately do against the bloodthirsty behemoth that is the US government?

If it’s something like Amazon I can choose not to give them my money. But if I’m disillusioned with the entire way one (or maybe all) of the largest countries on the earth operate, what can I do?
So you literally do have a choice. There’s just a consequence (There are worse things than not living in America, hard as that might be for you to imagine.)
I heard Ronaldo played a blinder.
I experienced the time before oil in Norway. Foremost: bad roads. No paved roads much North of Tromsø. Everything moved on boats, many of which wind-powered. That was most environmental.

But no returning back, everybody must have Tesla now. However most communities are still built to be row-boat operated. New roadways are squiggly, connected with hundreds of oil-operated ferryboats.
Of course not. Only the bits they have
I've been trying to use it multiple times, but I can't find it effective. I'm sure they just have in mind different needs from the ones I have, because I can tell it's a nice project.

... just to give some random examples.

Of course, whatever yolo hwrng people use may be even worse off.
DNS is probably a typo of ANS (American Network Solutions). OEM is "Original Equipment Manufacturer", and "OEMed" means "we make the phone but put your brand on the phone so you appear to be the OEM".

So they seem to be saying UNIMAX may be the actual manufacturer of ANS phones.
This is a bad analogy a novel respiratory virus is hardly an unlikely turn of events.
Am I the only one seeing the irony of it? You are asking the guy who already added a ton of JavaScript junk to the website to have concerns about one delay function?
Yes. A case of it working well: https://github.com/minio/minio-py/issues/829

I found this issue for a problem I had with MinIO. I wrote a prototype: docs first and screencast on how the API would be. I then asked the other user if they had implemented it and if the API I was thinking about would suit them as it suited me. MinIO's CTO replied that it was the correct usage, but that it was not on the roadmap, which is understandable.

I then started implementing the actual commands I needed first (host, ls, etc). Some time later, someone tweeted at us and asked how they could use the library. I then put it on PyPI (Python Package Index). I checked upon that person recently and they told be they've been using it for months without a problem. The other person also had commented and said they've been using it.

https://pypistats.org/packages/bmc

It's a really, really, small library for a niche need, also asked people for feedback here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26540342

Now I'm getting feature requests on that issue, but I'll soon do it properly in a repo to make it easier for people.

The only reason the US hasn’t gotten after china is because of the economic/supply chain ties and the implication of the US gov itself.
All of them. Even a BSL-4 lab is just a day job. In the evening, you get out of the lab area through the airlock, take off the suit, shower and go home to your family. After shopping and a quick beer of course. Followed by going to the movies.
I'm prescribed ritalin, and the best way I can describe it is that it makes me not get bored while doing something. It doesn't make me feel "focused", but I also don't feel the urge to do anything else. The main downside with it is that you still have to choose to pay attention to the correct thing, otherwise you can get less work done because you ended up spending 2 hours reading about Godzilla instead of doing what you were supposed to.

I haven't found it to be physically addictive, and don't experience any crash or withdrawal if there's a gap when getting my prescription filled. I think it can be mentally addictive though, because once I became able to study and communicate the same way my peers do, I definitely miss the benefits when I don't have it.
I would have liked my first submission for AMDNow! to have been a more positive bent, but I think highlighting that we can discuss AMD-powered products neutrally rather than just cheering everything indiscriminately is a net positive and, I hope, refreshing. I may still do a "Show HN" where I can talk more about the overall goals of the site and my own motivations.

Movie theaters don't make much of their money from the actual tickets, but if they stopped showing movies no one is going to pay them $20 for a popcorn.

Gas stations might not be quite as drastic as that, but still seems like the same principle applies.

Although conversely the convenience stores at fast charge stations probably do a lot better. If you have to wait for 30 minutes anyway might as well go in...
Exactly! But what if everyone had a concience and said no? Would they fire all their developers?

Anyway, they wouldn’t fire you since just finding someone else to do it is easier than starting any HR process.

That’s pretty sad by itself.
> But the employer/employee relationship is heavily built around certainty.

That's one kind of gig. It isn't what Apple employee 100 signed on for, or Google employee 12. Some employees are looking for upside and challenges more than certainty.

In uncertain times, the most valuable employees are the ones who thrive on uncertainty. The most difficult are those who prioritise something an employer can't guarantee as a prerequisite for performance.
SIDS is much more likely if the mother is underage or a smoker.
Use react-bootstrap. Nearly all of the styling is already done. If you can live with something with simple but tasteful styling, then react-bootstrap can do the trick.

As soon as you decide to make something custom, you will need to learn CSS and several other skills.
It’s currently under investigation by their engineering team. Funny enough I took it to the apple store and two other people were in there with the same issue. They replaced my phone.

I am guessing the update somehow fried the baseband chip.
It might even be better for them, if charging takes longer than pumping gas. More time to decide to grab chips and a drink.
Chrome doesn't actually support RSS anyway. There are extensions for it, but it doesn't actually support it.
Good related reading: https://raphlinus.github.io/color/2021/01/18/oklab-critique...., with some analysis of various colour spaces of different types, focusing especially on their behaviour in gradients, to do with interpolation.

My biggest complaint about perceptual colour spaces has been that they make working with colours near gamut boundaries really hard. For example, with #ff0 (yellow) in LCH, you can’t tweak any of the three parameters in either direction without going out of gamut (play with it at https://css.land/lch/ to get a vague idea of what I mean, though it doesn’t handle going out of gamut well). Yet such colours have plenty of practical value, and it’s a shame that many things eschew them because they’ve drunk too much perceptual uniformity kool-aid. Colour palettes often just don’t have any decent yellows at all. (To be sure, you do need to use such colours with care, but to remove them altogether is distressing.) For colour pickers especially, perceptual colour spaces have just been no good, because of their weird shapes and because you’re more likely to want to pick interesting colours nearer gamut bounds.

So I’m really glad to see this, because it’s just what I’ve been grumbling about the absence of. Thank you Björn, I continue to enjoy your work!
You're going to say no to writing a timeout code and risk your entire family going back to your country?

What if you have kids who were born here? You're now going to take them back to a place they don't know? Or are you going to let them go to foster care here?

How about if you've bought a house here? You're going to have just a few months to settle everything before you can go.
At the very least, it’s proof that Fauci lied to Congress that the NIH had been funding the gain of function research. Regardless of if the virus leaked from the lab or not, Fauci needs to go.
The way specifications are given makes it very hard to compare this to fossil fuel engines.
It's an impressive piece of mechanical engineering. I don't see it as being able to fly without some really aggressive advances in technology. If we stay on our current track then maybe in 200 years we could have a direct conversion compact fusion reactor as the power source of a high-power electric plane. Until then I don't think this could reasonably fly.
Use a component library with a decent look and feel, and/or if you want some style choices without futzing with CSS/code at all use a component library like react-bootstrap[0] or reactstrap[1] and pick a Bootstrap theme from Bootswatch[2].

I do this at my company (which for whatever reason doesn't like to hire frontend specialists) and we mostly are able to avoid writing any CSS.

Biden Declassifies Secret FBI Report on Saudi Connections to 9/11
That article doesn’t at all prove that the US was supporting gain-of-function research. At best it proves that gain-of-function research is not well defined and epidemiological researchers themselves disagree on what it means. The grants themselves deny access to funds for gain-of-function and provide a framework for judging what that is.
>> No, Fauci has never held that position.

My bad, I was mislead there. Doesn't change the conclusion of my analysis though. If anything, it strengthens it.

So he was director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (a branch of NIH). Coronaviruses are infectious diseases. It seems practically certain that he would have been directly involved. Of the 27 sub-agencies of the NIH, NIAID is the one which matches the category for 'coronavirus gain of function research' most closely.

The list is:

National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Eye Institute (NEI), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin, Diseases (NIAMSD), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD[69]), National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDOCD), National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHHD), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Library of Medicine (NLM), Center for Information Technology (CIT), Center for Scientific Review (CSR), Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), NIH Clinical Center (NIH CC)

Within which of the above 27 categories does a 'highly infectious disease with immune-system-evading characteristics' such as COVID19 fit into? The fact that NIAID also deals with allergies (whose treatments typically involve regulating the immune system) is too much...

What you're saying makes foul play even more likely. This virus has got Fauci's signature in it and his face is on the packaging.

Not saying he is guilty, but he should be investigated.
It might even help; if EV takes 20-40 minutes to charge, that's perfect time for a store visit, lunch, etc.
1. can you define "unsafe lab"?

2. is so, and if such a lab is found in the USA, do you really see a future where Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Brasil stop buying Microsoft products and Apple toys?

Come now, let's be serious.
There are non-kinetic forms of warfare that may very well be appropriate if indeed this was a lab leak and cover-up. If it is proven tomorrow to be the case that the virus emerged from WIV, do you think it's appropriate to just let it go? Even if it was pure negligence the cover-up itself and the hiding of the epidemic before it became pandemic could be considered an act of war by countries affected.
I’ve ended up using something like the “headless WordPress” technique mentioned in the article on one of my websites, though I use a simple Django front end to pull directly from WordPress db. It’s super fast.

I really like WordPress’s out-of-the box classic editing experience and revision history.

It’s probably missing some of the “strict guide rails” you probably want, but I can at least disable user-uploaded plugins which helps a lot.

which evaluates distributed graph processing frameworks (circa 2015) on various problems and shows that they can be slower than a single threaded program on a laptop.

They have a data set with 105 M nodes and 3.7B edges that fits in 14 GB, which all fits in memory (at least 128-256 GB of memory should be taken for granted in these types of problems). Maybe with a clever encoding you can store the entire social network of the world, or at least a FB-sized one. (Storing nodes as integers is efficient and useful for many graph algorithms. You can later "join" with the ancillary data using a fast non-graph distributed processing framework).

This article mentions the challenges but doesn't mention the solution of simply using a single machine for big graphs:

Even seemingly minute HPAD variations, for example the graph's degree distribution, can have significant performance implications.

Graph processing systems rely on complex runtimes that combine software and hardware platforms. It can be a daunting task to capture system-under-test performance—including parallelism, distribution, streaming vs. batch operation

Anyone who has done programming with say MapReduce knows that it can be very elegant and fun, but also limiting. This is even more true of graph processing frameworks, as the article explains.

If you simply put everything in memory and write native code (which isn't hard at all for batch jobs), then you have so much more flexibility with ANY algorithm, and especially graph algorithms. This type of programming is also fun! You don't have to fit your problem into the framework and switch frameworks when it doesn't fit (or more likely just accept 10-1000x performance decrease when it doesn't fit).

Abstract:

We offer a new metric for big data platforms, COST,
or the Configuration that Outperforms a Single Thread.
The COST of a given platform for a given problem is the
hardware configuration required before the platform outperforms a competent single-threaded implementation.
COST weighs a system’s scalability against the overheads introduced by the system, and indicates the actual
performance gains of the system, without rewarding systems that bring substantial but parallelizable overheads.
Hence why I left. Company didn't want to make a hard choice and I found a better job.
> 156 people died of covid in the UK yesterday.

This may be highly inflated.

As far as I understand it, and implied by e.g. [1], UK COVID daily death cases are "if you had a positive result in the last 28 days and you die". So it includes, for example, heart attacks, strokes, and being run over by a bus.
