We'd need to significantly improve high schools before considering eliminating college. Let's face it. We can't expect American high schools to teach students anything about the world. We've had schools try to spin the slave trade as sending "workers" to the New World. We've had attempts to show "both sides" of the Holocaust. And yes, college isn't perfect at teaching liberal arts, but it's better than not learning at all.

I don't mean to straw man you, so I'm not implying this is what you said, but a liberal arts education is extremely important! Where else do you learn that racism isn't just slurs, that a bus route can be racist, that a health policy can be racist? Where can you get introduced to writers of color, to works by people from all times and all races? Where can you get an in depth view into how art reflects society and society reflects art?

Even if you don't step into a classroom, college teaches so much by forcing students out of their hometown and out of the communities. One of the biggest issues with racism and discrimination and partisanship is that most people haven't met the other side. College is a way to meet the other side in one's formative years.

I'd argue that college is the single most liberalizing institution in people's lives. No other institution takes students, transports them into a (hopefully) diverse, intellectually stimulating center and teaches them about society.
I'm confused about the bullet point "IntoIterator for arrays". I thought this was added already in Rust 1.53.0. Did something else happen?

See https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/06/17/Rust-1.53.0.html#whats...
You're probably completely unaware that the excessive money printing (quantitative easing) you seemingly blame on democrats was proposed and initially implemented by by a Bush appointee (Bernanke) and then more recently and more famously done by a Trump appointee (Powell), both in cases where the alternative would've been a global financial catastrophe not seen since the great depression.

Software engineer can be similar to plumbing, an maybe for most jobs it is. But it can be so many other things as well. Writing a game isn't much like that at all for example.

It's not either/or. It's none/both.
I hate absolutely everything about this. At every angle and level of resolution I can think about it, I hate it. It's a fractal of things I hate.
I grew up and spent some of my adult life in Missouri. I interacted with folks in the Missouri GOP quite a lot in the mid-naughts and early 2010s. Lots of GOP state rep staffers, some state reps, some state-wide candidates who have been oscillating in and out of politics in the years since, etc. I even had a few long meals with Eric Greitens way back in the day when everyone knew he was going to run for something but he was still playing Veteran Charity Organizer and denying any intention to run.

(Actually, I always pegged Eric for a moderate/conservative Democrat, but wasn't surprised to see him play the game he played given that his defining characteristic was always his careerism/ambition. I even mentioned after one of those meals that he'd probably prefer to run as a Dem but will definitely be running on the GOP ticket because he cares more about power and prestige than anything else & anyone with a brain knew running as a Dem in any statewide race in Missouri was a dead end. Actually, totally independent of this conversation, Eric is actually a really interesting case study in coalition politics; his resignation was as much about him snubbing folks with appointments than his sex scandal per se. Anyways.)

My interactions with folks in MOGOP back then scared the hell out of me. I could see the party coalescing around a pretty dark sort of nihilism. And not even really in terms of policy per se. It's the individual people, divorced of their politics, that really made me scared. On a personal and individual level. The deeply concerning interactions and conversations I had with specific rising stars in MOGOP are actually one of the reasons I left the state.

I understand your attitude toward partisanship, I really do, and I've voted for Missouri Repbulicans in the past as well. But that state party is in a really dark place right now. A few good apples -- and they do exist -- don't really matter when party leadership are scary as fuck narcissistic nihilists.

(And, yeah, all politicians suck or whatever... but MOGOP is really something else. The rising stars from back then who are all either ascendant or in control now are not just gross politician types... they're genuinely just really scary human beings.)
I notice he doesn't afford his victim any generous assumptions.

He's like; fuck you for thinking the guy basing his $2000 computer purchase on cardboard is an idiot - I'm actually a secret genius CPU designer don't you know??

Well yeah like, maybe she's got a Master's degree in Packaging Design and knows that the smallest box, in fact, has weak cornering or cannot be reclosed because it has to be ripped open or something.

Is his request even well defined? There might be different, shortest, thinnest, shallowest boxes. Does it need to fit through a letterbox? Oh, ok, you don't care about depth then...

Not to mention the double meaning that "box" has in computing...

I noped out of the article at that point which is a shame because I do agree with the general idea.
Thanks for the question. Two main things currently. When you update your Notion page or styles it updates your site immediately so it makes for a nice editing experience where you can see what your site would look like easily. Others don't do this as quickly. Could take a minute or two to see updates. Second Potion has a pricing model that is more friendly towards having multiple sites.
It's certainly true that if C++ library maintainers are up for the ever-growing maintenance burden, they can all individually deliver the same promise Rust gets out of the box.

This is in practice what the maintainers of the three standard libraries have to do, perhaps one or more of them will offer their opinion about that experience?
> It's simply not possible to continually raise your defenses and offenses and end with a win-win, and when it comes to a roughly evenly divided society, win-lose is lose-lose.

This only works when both sides engage in good faith. That is not the case currently. We are better off excluding them than letting them abuse the process in bad faith like they always do.

The ones advancing this argument are always the ones with the least at stake.
> Google has gone from spying on everything you do online, to spying on your offline behavior as well.

That is about aggregate purchases, which have no privacy implications at all, not about individual purchases, which need to be matched either by email or by users opting in to share their credit card transactions, which is exactly the same as Apple Pay.

> Also, how exactly do you use the Google Play Store without having a Google account?

You don't have to use Google Play to install apps on Android. Even if you use Google Pay, you don't have to completely de-anonymize yourself with billing details.

> I'm afraid that I'm not willing to take the time to correct them individually.

More like you're afraid that you cannot correct them because they are already correct. I have made those claims hundreds of times on this forum, and they have never been corrected.

You have simply fallen for Apple's marketing without critically thinking about what data Apple actually collects, and the embarrassment of overpaying for an ecosystem that is clearly worse has understandably caused you to become defensive. The takeaway is to not trust marketing and verify if what the marketing actually claims is true. None of these companies are looking out for you. If Apple can make more money by exploiting your privacy on top of getting you to pay more, they will do it, and they are doing it (why actually make a privacy-respecting product that ties Apple's hands when they can just have the marketing department claim that it's a privacy respecting product and have their cake and eat it too). The only reason Android has gotten away with less user exploitation is that Google is still not yet as top-down driven as Apple, so the hackers who work on Android can influence how the base system is made while just enabling the company's services teams to build what they want on top of that instead of directly into the base system, and the only reason Google still lets them get away with that is that Android initially had to be released as AOSP + vendor bits in order to bring other companies into the ecosystem, and it is now too expensive to change course.
There's a history of Chowning and FM here. Practical FM is closely linked to CCRMA's Samson Box which was designed by Peter Samson of System Concepts, who were better known for building affordable(ish) DEC KL10 clones.

https://120years.net/tag/ccrma/

When Chowning met Dave Bristow, who was Yamaha's product specialist and designed many of the DX7 presets, he apparently asked if Bristow could explain FM to him because he didn't really understand how to use it.

This was partly a joke and... partly not. It was also before they wrote this together:

>On one side are the computer scientists and engineers who understand the nature of the problem

There are a hell of a lot of computer scientists and engineers who vote republican, certainty not a majority but definitely a large enough minority you can't discount them. They just don't broadcast it for reasons that should be obvious to anyone reading these comments.

Is this your personal view, or is it one that you're confident a lot of people share? I know plenty of writers on Twitter that have blogs and still write threads; this indicates that there's at least some benefit to capturing readers in that way.

I love blog posts and prefer them to threads. However, it being a thread won't prevent me from reading content from intelligent people on the internet.

You're missing out on some great insight by not reading something based purely on formatting. If I read someone's blog, I don't immediately assume that their Twitter threads are useless. Maybe their blog is for long-form content and the topic they want to discuss is shorter.
Yikes, that fasting regimen is a recipe for gall stones in ten years. Maybe seek a second medical opinion.
I wonder how much of this trend of distrusting colleges which looks like anti intellectualism is actually based on the wide conservative perception (whether true or not, the perception is certainly there) that conservative voices and ideas are increasing squelched in universities. Or treated with contempt. It engenders a distrust of those "ivory tower" people.

I wonder if this is what has polluted and spilled over into other areas so it has influenced a general anti intellectual / elitism sentiment that gets in the way of critical thinking and science.
I think the point of using basswood as a reference is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the hardening process by using a very soft wood. Separately, basswood is fairly quick growing, making it a decent candidate for commercialization of the whole technology.
This is called “whataboutism”.
Didn't expect a quote from Tom Macdonald when I opened HN this morning.
There's an explanation at the bottom of the section; this landed as a hack in previous editions, but works via the normal mechanisms in Rust 2021.

"Since this special case for .into_iter() is only required to avoid breaking existing code, it is removed in the new edition, Rust 2021, which will be released later this year."

As a user, you're right that there's not really an external-facing change here.
> We survive on stored energy borrowed from the past.

It's worse than that: We fully rely on borrowed time!

Natural geological cycles to restore surface phosphorus span many thousands of years. Our current agriculture (food production) critically depends on mineral phosphorus, which may be exhausted in just four or five decades. And we retain none of that, but flush our soils into the oceans (partially through the toilet, literally). No phosphorus, no food. I wish everybody knew about peak phosphorus. (It's also a geopolitical near future issue as almost all phosphate rock is located in Morocco...)

> We also need to develop tech (weather technique or technology) to reconstitute waste and refuse into the inputs for our food, buildings, transportation, etc.

Yes! We also need to collect and recycle human and livestock feces and urine to prevent mineral loss. Those cannot leak from the ecosystems anymore - madness!

Honestly, I think it's possible humanity will barely not make it, comically, because no one wants to lobby for collecting people's shit, while everything else goes full Star Trek.
> The issue isn't just that he's objectively and morally wrong, it's that most voters don't see through the grandstanding.

They see, they just don't care, as we can see from a sibling subthread on this story.

As long as he keeps fighting on their side of the culture war, it doesn't matter what sort of crazy, destructive, or corrupt things he does.
It's not that they don't want to drive. Tesla as a brand has plenty of cachet with the Millennial and Gen Z demographics. It's that cars are expensive to obtain and drive. In both and nominal and real dollars, cars and car insurance have gotten expensive (even pre-pandemic) to the point that buying one is no longer a good deal unless you have no other mode of transportation.
This argument, which I at least partially agree is probably true, always bothered me. If they just want to have their name out in the public often, they just need to to strongly push for any solution. Here, he could have been loud and vocal about how the security of these sites is unacceptable and started handing out public awards to the person (people?) that found the issue.

The fact that one approach was chosen over the other suggests where is more to the reason.
They literally have open-source projects where not a single Sentry employee works on it. We're not talking small projects but the PHP sdk and Symfony SDK. No matter what you think of PHP, it literally powers msot of the internet. There are as many job ads for PHP as any other language. So there is no denying, in my opinion, that the PHP ecosystem is of some value to Sentry. Maintained by volunteers.

The CTO won't even step up when these guys are getting a hard time in the GitHub issues. I know he was on that ticket too because he left an emjoi reaction. They'll shell out realistically a single person salary to the entire open-source community act like it's a big deal but they won't even step up and defend people who spend hours making sure their product still works. Literally, I have no respect for Sentry or their leadership after that.

We can say they're stepping up but realistically stepping up would be paying a salary to the folk that have been maintaining their product for free for ages (as far as I can tell). Nevermind giving them a product manager and some basic support.
Practical answer? Because their vote in the ballot box is exactly as strong as any other voter's.

From a pure realpolitik standpoint, alienating voters who can be convinced to do the right thing is just foolishness.
You need about $3k worth of equipment to start to effectively do basic hardware from home, but can maybe start for less than $1k. A scope and logic analyzer are a must, for dealing with misbehaving peripherals, so there’s around $900 just to get started. There’s other tools that may or may not be necessary depending on what you’re working on. But I’ve spent just under 3k in the last 2 years to do embedded work from home. That includes troubleshooting hardware, which may be someone else’s job. I also have a bunch of tools and materials to make it easier to breadboard and prototype.

If you’re thinking about making the switch, the hard part is learning all the things you didn’t know you needed to know. That’s where having someone you can walk up to, wait until they look interruptable, then ask a really dumb question is priceless, and really hard to replicate remotely.
Quit electing people like this.

There are signs WAY before you need to "try to vote him out of office".
It is not me who is confused. In either case selling time IS selling limited power over yourself, the use of your capabilities. My employer pays me to think about their problems and solve them with my brain (and fingers). A client of a sex worker pays them to use other mental skills and body parts.

How is one different than the other? There are many jobs that you would consider "normal" that are far more dangerous (e.g. logging or deep sea fishing), or where you are treated with much less dignity either directly (customer support, etc.) or indirectly (a modern warehouse job where you are a glorified manipulator attachment); in almost any jobs, workers could be exploited, trafficked, etc.

What in particular (with some basis in physical reality) makes sex work special compared to all of those?
> You will often be found "at fault" in cases where you are not actually at fault (the other driver lies better than your truth) and there are many cases

As I understand it, Dan wants to skip on collision / comprehensive, not liability. I can imagine a number of scenarios in which you might not want to bother insuring an asset, even as you insure yourself for damage to others you might be at fault for.
We have no Nim usage in the company. One of our engineers nominated it as something they find personally interesting, and we wanted to give at least a little bit to every project that our employees nominated.

By contrast, we use Rust quite heavily, including our core ingest component: https://github.com/getsentry/relay.

That's why there's such a discrepancy in this case.
> > Does [$155,999.89] reflect the value and developer time savings you've received from [all community-run open source projects] over the year[]?

> May I flip the question? Does $500 reflect the value and developer time savings you've given to Sentry over the past year?

It must be frustrating no one would have said anything if Sentry gave $0 instead of $500. Your response seems disingenuous though. They didn't ask about just this year or any other project. The brackets show you knew that.
Kg of wood per hectare-yr would be a good measure of how much useful wood is created, and also how much carbon is locked up in it.
It had Dave Chappelle. So it must be canceled by any means necessary.
> I know that this is very unpopular opinion but there are very few cases where anonymity is useful.

This just isn't true. It makes the assumption that what you will be shamed or punished for saying is completely in line with what is right. No way is that the case, whether you are talking about drugs, gender and sexuality issues, unpopular political ideas, or a host of other things.

Your argument is no different from those who claim that only those who have done something wrong care about privacy. It's wrong.

> Please don't make this a partisan issue. I live in Missouri. I've voted for Republicans in the past. You're alienating people like me from being on your side.

this event is completely political and is made possible by the fact that one party alone has decided that facts don't matter - a whole team of said people rushed behind this governor to start a politcal campaign based on fact-free made up realities, which is now the common mode of action for the right wing. The GOP also happens to be a party that claims to be extremely upset about liberals supposedly trying to ban speech that "hurts their feelings". this is after all where the terms "snowflake" and "cancel culture" come from, and in fact was a campaign slogan by the Trump campaign called "fuck your feelings", which you would see emblazoned on shirts worn by what we would assume were previously congenial grandparents.

based on all of this, it would appear hypocritical for right wing voters to claim that speaking of these issues are "alientating". The grandparents wearing T shirts that said "fuck your feelings" was pretty alienating to see. Where were the right wing voices warning that liberals might feel "alienated" by that ? Does anyone on the right have the slightest concern for anyone not like them ? I've yet to see it.
YouTube will probably do what Facebook is doing: randomize URLs and obfuscate the HTML weekly. It then becomes a game of catch-up for Roku, they'd always be one step behind.
Does college actually measurably teach critical thinking? How is that measured?

Are sociology majors measurably better at critical thinking than plumbers?

I kind of suspect a significant portion of the "college teaches critical thinking" meme is just something college educated people say to feel superior.

Around 70-80 C, you'll have to play around with it as it's a little different for each tisane.

Fun fact, tea is technically only the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, all the permutations of black, green, white etc teas are how the leaves are processed by humans after cultivation, they're not different species of the plant. Any "teas" that are not of the camellia sinensis plant are technically called tisanes, although in colloquial usage no one says tisane.
I asked because in interviews I used to mention the amount of functionality I stuffed into a 'K1, which ISTR had 511 bytes of program memory.

I recall that HC11 version too! I bought the PLCC version and made my own dev board with a through hole PLCC socket :-)

[edit] memory just caught up to me. The HC05K1 had 504 bytes of program memory, not 511.
Do you plan to expand into no-code web scraping too? The frontend tech is the same for both.
If you expect break to go to the start of a loop, then you've confused it with continue.
It is if you ignore how the underlying OS implements multitasking and sleep() in particular. And the kernel-side implementation usually involves some kind of priority queue of sleeping threads. So taken as a whole sleep-sort is just an convoluted implementation of heap-sort that outsources the actual sorting to OS.
Ah I see, clever!

So in essence because the diode solution requires rows times columns diodes and this one only has a couple of parts per row and per column it scales better and for larger keyboards will end up with a substantially reduced parts count and a simpler circuit.

That patent is quite a bit younger than the synth though, so it's kind of logical that that technique would not be used, and my hunch on why they used those diodes back then is likely correct, even if we have a smarter way of doing this now.
