First, that's from more than a year ago. Second, I looked into it because it sounded literally unbelievable, and indeed it appears to be some sort of trolling and/or conservative fever dream. That exact phrasing shows up in various other places, for example [^0], [^1], and there are threads here and there explaining the frequent trolling of u/automoderator [^2], [^3].

No, I have an issue with how you quantify "extremist" that's been the whole point of the entire thread.

You say it's anyone who "wishes death", well that is too loose because that pertains to every community on every site, including Reddit.

Please try again with your definition of "extremist" and I will retest the communities.
I didn't know this was the case. Interesting!

From [1]

> It was not until a landmark U.S. court ruling regarding the Hush-A-Phone in 1956 that the use of a phone attachment (by a third party vendor) was allowed for the first time; though AT&T's right to regulate any device connected to the telephone system was upheld by the courts, they were instructed to cease interference towards Hush-A-Phone users. A second court decision in 1968 regarding the Carterfone further allowed any device not harmful to the system to be connected directly to the AT&T network. This decision enabled the proliferation of later innovations like answering machines, fax machines, and modems.

From [2]:

> After the ruling, it was still illegal to connect some equipment to the AT&T network. For example, modems could not electronically connect to the phone system. Instead, Americans had to connect their modems mechanically by attaching a phone receiver to an acoustic coupler via suction cups.

You can't toss out a cool anecdote like that and not talk more about how to get on a ship!
The first 15 minutes are just historical rehash, and can be skipped over without missing anything at all.

The rest just says that compute elements are showing up in our peripherals, and that we will need, and want, to program them. (People have said this for decades, but there has been little movement toward enabling it, because it will always be hard, for reasons.) Then it makes the absurd claim that Rust is uniquely capable of programming those elements, because it has a feature called "no_std", where your build fails if your code tries to use any standard library features.

Of course, all those peripheral processors are already programmed, today, almost all in C and C++. It is arbitrarily hard to run your own code on most, today, because where it is possible at all, you need to solder in a JTAG connector and reverse-engineer the code in there to figure out how your code can operate in the environment.

Lots of peripherals, though, get their object code loaded into them by the kernel driver at startup before they will do anything useful.

Maybe someday it will get easier to download your own code into them from a running system, to extend what they are already doing, and maybe someday somebody will document what your code would need to do to contribute to such operation. But if that ever happens -- and, to be clear, it is happening in certain, select places, like some NICs -- Rust will have no advantage over other languages. Using "no_std" will not materially help.

For example, a company Netronome has today a NIC that lets you run your own code on it, e.g. to filter or alter packets before they get DMA'd out to the ring buffer where the kernel sees them. It is programmed using eBPF, which is a virtual object code format that a kernel driver will translate to native machine code. eBPF code can be generated by running LLVM over a file generated by a compiler for C, C++, Rust, or really almost any language that can be compiled to LLVM intermediate code, and offers some way to call out to a C library API.

The Netronome kernel driver takes your eBPF object code, compiled from any language, translates it to machine code for one of the cores in the NIC, copies that onto the NIC, and patches it into what is already running there.

Of course none of the other languages have "no_std", and don't need it. Your Rust code doesn't need it either. Don't want to use library features? Just don't use them. The things an eBPF program is allowed to do are quite limited, but surprisingly powerful, including calling out to a special ("standard") eBPF library. That Rust's sum types are core language features gives it no advantage over the equivalent C++ Standard Library features that (also) do not depend on linking to a runtime support library.

The phenomenon of 'seeing' or imagining Tetris shapes and 'fitting' them around things is known as the 'tetris effect'[0] and is quite common. In my experience you don't need to play Tetris that long to experience it. It's so well known that the Tetris Company named one of their most recent games after it [1].

We will reveal more about hubris at the conference he referenced at the end, which is happening end of November/start of December.

Darn, your reply reads as super harsh.

Also a reply on hacker news is not the place for me to go into a complete peer review of this research. I am merely pointing out that they are promoting essentially a toy and the hospital is funded mainly by a toy company.

Also, no, I don't think that this research is necessarily a waste, but I would caution people from thinking this solves anything meaningful, and also would caution people from using this technology in lieu of real human interaction.

It is a novelty, a fun toy. My cynicism comes from seeing people trying to automate human interaction in seemingly every facet of life. My point is not everything has a technical solution, and beyond a small research project I could see larger scale versions of this being detrimental to patients since it will be used in lieu of other non-technical solutions.
Well, the Harris quote implies that the opposite of boredom is "paying attention." I'm drawing a connection between that and what facebook likes to talk about: "engagement." But what really drives that, is when folks get enraged. I use the term "enragement."

I experience exactly this as well. I liberally use my volume up and down keys.

Perhaps the following is too personal of a take, but we're talking about music YMMV ;-)

Here it comes:

Music doesn't make me feel lonely when I'm behind a computer. And feeling lonely is what made me into a mediocre programmer. For years I've not touched a computer because it just feels so isolating when you do it for 8 to 10 hours straight.

But with music, with music I feel a shared experience between me, the artist, the feelings and the concepts. It helps that this form of "musical reasoning" doesn't cost me a lot of brainpower since I've been doing this on autopilot since I was a kid.
Shannon entropy works for anything you can assign an alphabet of symbols to. It doesn't need the thing itself to be symbolic, just the description of the thing.
Ask HN: Why Google made 'open in new tab in group' the only option in Android?
It is super counterproductive and it got so bad I actually switched to Edge this week after being on Chrome literally since day one in September 2008.

I still use Chrome for desktop, because open in new tab is still available and also tab groups do make sense on Desktop (e.g group gor music and YouTube tabs, one for research, one for my amazon and ebay tabs etc).

But on Android they do not make any sense at all, on particular how they're implemented, forcing me to squint through those tiny stamp sized boxes to see which group is the page I care about.

How and why did this ever get approved? Does the person who approve it use Android on a 50 inch screen or what? Both of my phones (Google's very own Pixel 4 and Samsung Galaxy S9) don't have screens large to display them properly.

At the very least, Google should re-implement the UI to make it usable if thwy insist on having tab groups as the only!!! option available, or just put back the option to open in nww tab outside groups.
What exactly is experimental trauma?
Elon had roughly the same % of both companies both separately and together, so it's not clear to me how its a big advantage financially for him.

From a strategy standpoint - a no brainer to purchase what is now energy - he knew all the people there, was already working there, had a big stake there, and they may play an important role in his green energy plan.

For everyone saying he should have bought some chinese solar co - he's focused ons speed, and getting up to speed on a new solar company - why?

Secondarily, how are those solarcity or tesla shareholders doing? How is tesla energy doing? You got to be able to take some risks as the boss, that's why he is there. And no question he takes risks.
I just did this manually in protest.

Which is exactly why preventing capital flight is important. Otherwise, exploitative business practices can take advantage of previously built infrastructure, hide away any profits resulting from use of that infrastructure, and then leave others holding the bill for the maintenance of that infrastructure.
Depends on the federation: Federal Republic of Germany? I'm paying taxes so I guess one could consider me an agent.

But more than that: I also worked and work for organisations aligned with them in various capacities (currently I'm TA'ing at a state-run university, so while that's multiple hops away I guess it's a start? My fellow citizens often mix up what part is federal and what's state anyway, so it might as well not matter in the context of this conversation.)
10% per year is not the threshold, as long as the cap gains are more than expenses it's profitable to lease at any amount >= 0. Before I moved to Austin I used to live in a ~1.5M house in Los Angeles, paying ~2K rent for 10 years or so.

It's not relevant to the current discussion though. Right now rents are lower than mortgages in general so the assertion that the tenant pays all landlord's expenses is demonstrably false.
I'd tried to unfollow as many as I could by tapping, at some point after 50 taps Facebook blocked me form further tapping, I don't even remember how I got to the list of all individuals - groups - pages, I am using mobile web version. Clearly Facebook won't make your life easy in this
Yeah; I definitely think for kids it has a certain novelty that makes the hospital stay more interesting and enjoyable. I don't think this could scale beyond a fun novelty though; but that is more of just a personal opinion on my part.
Australian here. I remember that scene, and I’ve always wondered what that was about too. I was using modems in the mid 90s and I never saw anything like that cradle device! Thankyou. That makes horrible, awful sense to me now.
I think that r/HermanCainAward is actually quite sinister and designed to normalize and reinforce dehumanization of "the other side". The whole point of the subreddit is to showcase people who've had strong political convictions, then died as a result of them.

You're supposed to feel a sense of comeuppance that these people who don't believe in the vaccine or dismiss the severity Covid died as a result of their beliefs. There is no shortage of mockery involved, either. It is disguised as simple schadenfreude, but I sense the subscribers are actually reveling in the deaths of others.
> snafu vs thiserror/anyhow

I'd like to provide a fair comparison [1] in the documentation, but I don't know thiserror / anyhow well enough to feel like I'd give them the credit they are due.

That said, to my knowledge, thiserror doesn't allow you to take an `io::Error` and sort it into two different enum variants (like the `Reading` and `Opening` variants in my grandparent example). To me, those are vastly different error states that just both happen to have the same error type. You can extend the metaphor with any larger error type from a crate (e.g. `reqwest::Error`).

Anyhow requires using a trait object (and potentially downcasting) and I prefer avoiding those when possible.

> seemed the popularly recommended way

Absolutely. The author of those crates is a giant in the Rust community [2] (they are also the author of serde, syn, and quote, for example!). If those crates suit your situations, then by all means — use them. I'd much rather the Rust community have better error types and messages by whatever means available. Even using `String` via `Box<dyn Error>` is better than nothing.

> you won't get autocompletion

You should, at least if you use rust-analyzer. I use it via emacs and have these settings enabled, but I think they were going to be the default:

(lsp-rust-analyzer-proc-macro-enable t)

Without collective agreements between governing bodies on what bare minimum standards should be on taxation what we see is rent seeking behavior from corporations (ah la Foxconn and Mount Pleasant, Amazon HQ 2).

Without minimum taxation, we see a race to the bottom for taxation, where elites benefit and everyone else looses.

Game development, pilots, and non-profits. The majority of people who enter those industries are self-selected and are passionate enough about their jobs that they will put up with a lot of abuse.
That's half my point, yes. Plus the fact that many many people probably just claim it helps them concentrate because it helps them drown out worse distractions. If these other distractions didn't exist, the music however would make it worse. Unfortunately though you can also get used to a certain noise floor though and if that noise floor is gone, that's uncomfortable in its own right. If you've never been, try to find one of those complete silence rooms where even your footsteps 'disappear'. It's deafening.

Your TV example I think shows some of this very nicely. You are able to drown out the TV in your head but you aren't able to actually multitask. If you were, you'd know what went on in the show and also get your task done productively. Unless the TV itself drowns out other more distracting things, just not having the TV on would probably be better for concentration.

YMMV in case you are so used to all the noise that you need "something there" because otherwise you get say tinnitus.

I do the TV thing too sometimes but inadvertently. I watch TV, am a little bored perhaps and start say reading HN and at some point notice that the show is over. I totally drowned out the show.

An independent developer will put his games in all stores if he can.
The only ones that will not do it are ones that might have their own store or have a deal, so I would expect a random dev to put is happ in the Apple store and in a Freedom store but for sure Apple will not put it's apps in the Freedom store and will make deals with others not to put their apps there. So the problem are giants like Apple,Epic,EA not the independent devs.

As I mentioned most games are in more then one store , and if a game is missing from other store is not some bullshit contract or ToS, is because the developer did not had the time or motivation to do it.

P.S. and let's not forget Apple censorship, you will not get soon all games from Steam approved by Apple because Apple decides for you what you should consume, their Christian/conservastives values are forced on you.
That is my personal experience as well. The more familiar music is, and the better it matches my mood, the better it works as background for programming. When I was under a stress maximum, this (the whole CD) [0] blew away all distractions and got me super focused.

I develop a Qt app which I benchmark regularly and the actual Qt initialization (from exec to an initialized QApplication) on an average computer is on the order of a few milliseconds (10-15 here).

Checked a bit more and the time to first frame, with GL set up, etc., is ~100ms.
Alternatively, I've taken a year+ off multiple times in my life for "funemployement" and I was quite antsy and bored and restless but also lacked motivation to do much. I think it depends on the person.

That's why I never watch those hearings or read whatever empty words these people say. Only care about actions. The hearings have pretty much become a way for politicians to grandstand for cameras and partisan politics while the CEOs get to lie and make untrue claims without any consequences.

Actions > Words.
Its easier to prove (but with more constrained consequences) than any crime, since its a civil tort and thus need only be proven by a preponderance of the evidence (loosely, whose story the jury feels is more likely true), not beyond a reasonable doubt.
Note that farmers markets don't guarantee that the produce is actually local. Realistically you'd need to camp out early enough to catch them shipping it on site to figure out where it's actually from.
No, it's the previous AT&T with some parts factored out (most notably, Verizon). It also apparently managed to remerge several parts of itself over the years, which is mind boggling (how that didn't trigger immediate court action is beyond me): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
I can't believe we are this far into the COVID pandemic with vaccines available and people are still trying to play gymnastics with the data.

The data shows that all groups of people at any age who are fully vaccinated are substantially less like to get COVID or end up in the hospital or end up dying from COVID. Not by a little bit but a lot. You can point to one day in Israel to make your point and I point to the entire US for the last 6 months that backs up what I am saying.

The Israeli data you cited is also is leaving a lot of other information out. How many of those patients were young or old and which were most likely to be fully vaccinated? It turns out that most of the fully vaccinated patients were over 60 with comorbidities and the unvaccinated people in the hospital were young people. Also, we know that the COVID vaccines would lose effectiveness over time and the patients in the hospital who are fully vaccinated would be the first group of people who would get a booster shot.
I am also going to go out on a limb and say that if you end up in the hospital with COVID and you are fully vaccinated, I am pretty sure COVID would have killed you if you weren't vaccinated.

Everyone who is cleared to get vaccinated should get vaccinated.
The number of suicides and general decline in mental health is astounding, though.

You might be interested in the story of Radio Caroline, back in the '60s the BBC had a state monopoly on British radio and it was very stuffy and conservative. To get around this people used to set up AM transmitters and studios on ships just outside of UK territorial waters and transmitted from beyond the jurisdiction of the government. There were quite a few of these but Radio Caroline was the first and longest-lived - they lasted up to 1990 when the British government gave itself the power to raid radio ships in international waters (!) but it eventually returned with a license and is still around today.

While it wasn't exactly a dystopian floating city (quite the opposite, it was dedicated people who wanted to be there) it's still really interesting from lots of points of view I think.
I'm not asking that develop to go against the requirements. But it's often possible to satisfy requirements without satisfying the user, even though it's actually possible to do both.
Understandable, because (anecdotally) it turned out to be the most effective way to get rid of Facebook. Over a couple of weeks I unfollowed all the friends and communities, and ended up with clean page that asked me to add more friends.

It sounds like a bonkers tale to me (which is partly why I related it here). I've never tried to make cider, and I've never read a cider-making book. It certainly doesn't sound like the kind of hygiene practice that is normal in fermenting processes. But I do have the impression that hygiene is not taken as seriously in cider-making as in, for example, beer-brewing.

This is good news for startups! Cancel that, this is good news for the vast majority of unicorns as well.

It's still early because we have to wait and see what the loophole seekers are gonna find, but in any event, as it stands it looks like a good development for startups and VCs.

Loophole seekers are disgusting and dumb, they engineer solutions that save billions in taxes for multinationals but aren't paid proportionally. A genius in the transfer pricing dept. at one of the big 4 makes like an above average lawyer in NYC or LA.

They are more instrumental to the public company profits than the CEO in many instances.
Burning down Facebook? What on Earth are you talking about? It makes it easier for users to remove their own accounts across multiple services. It's a common interface to features the social networks themselves provide. This is the opposite of a bad actor.
