Ask HN: Anybody using the Rocket framework (Rust) in production?
Rocket is a super exciting Rust framework that lets you write a web server with Flask-like ergonomics. I've used it on a couple toy projects and it's a delight.

However it's still in v0.x, and you have to use the latest RC in order to use it with the stable (non-nightly) Rust compiler. It also seems to have a pretty small maintenance team without any company backing as far as I can tell.

So I'd like to use it at work given an opportunity, but I'm not sure if it's still too bleeding-edge. Is there anybody who's used it for something real and can speak to its reliability/general experience?
OK name something they added that they actually kept in the current version of FB that is used by less than 30% of users in the life of their account and isn't there for regulatory reasons. They use way too much A/B testing for anything like that to survive longer than 2 years.
Besides the other great answers, there's also survivorship bias. This bulb wasn't necessarily designed to last a hundred years. It's just an outlier that has lasted that long. We wouldn't give a shit about it had it burned out fifty years ago. We don't talk about other bulbs (today) that lasted fifty years even though that's an extremely impressive number itself. If the Internet was around fifty years ago we might have half a dozen webcams pointing to the "Half Century Bulbs" and being fascinated with them lasting fifty years and wondering if any will get to a hundred years.
I have a side dish recipe I love for cooking pearl couscous that uses pine nuts toasted in butter. The last time I made it, I bought too more pine nuts than I needed for the recipe. I just went and fried them all up in butter. Then I took the leftovers, added some salt, and ate them like a snack.

My God, I have never had a more decadent, hedonistic snack in my life. They are like eating angel's tears. If they weren't so expensive, I'd eat my weight in them.

Not saying it's the best of ideas (especially in light of this story), but I think that a lot of people do it.
You cannot deliver meaningful over the ocean coverage without it, Starlink was designed to have sat to sat routing, using optical links, which is.. somewhat nonsensical.
It surely exists in private. It should exist in public and be a condition of public service.
Presenting two choices as mutually exclusive, when they are not, is definitely a false dichotomy.
OK, I don't get `command`. When I run `command time -v sleep 10` it clearly runs /usr/bin/time on my system (the bash builtin doesn't have the -v option), but if I run `command -v time` it outputs `time`, corresponding to the builtin. How is this helpful? Also shouldn't `command` and `command -v` find the same things?

edit: Well apparently this is the standard behavior [1]. So lookup is not the same for `command <name>` vs `command -v <name>`, and there doesn't seem to be a standard way to lookup the executable started by `command <name>`. `which` seem to fill that gap.

I think the "elections clause" (Article 1, Section 4, clause 1) gives Congress broad authority to override state laws regarding how its own representatives are elected. (Note: edited to simplify...)

>There is no such thing as IP theft across state lines

That may be true in the strictest legal sense when a Chinese company is the one doing the stealing from a Western corporation. But in reality, that's so laughably incorrect that it makes me question why you said it.
> The fact that there's a possibility that Florida lawmakers would retaliate against another public institution to the possible detriment of the taxpayers of Florida

Like banning mask mandates by school districts and defunding them as punishment?

That's right, I think. The property can be recovered from the fraudster, but not from an innocent subsequent purchaser. There is at least some form of compensation scheme by the Land Registry. And 'selling on behalf of someone who isn't the actual owner' certainly can found a liability claim on the solicitor.
Is it really a democracy if you keep pushing the same legislation over and over again until the people sleep on it once?
Article discusses the high water requirements of growing avocados then goes on to talk about replacing them with pistachios—as if that a more sustainable solution. One kilogram of pistachios takes over 11,300 liters of water to grow. (https://healabel.com/p-ingredients/pistachios)

The average avocado is 150g but even if we were being extremely conservative and said 10 avocados = one kilogram you’d still be at less than 1/3rd the water requirements of pistachios: 3,200 liters vs 11,360.

What we really need to figure out is how to capture the wasted water from plants. About 98% of water used on plants is lost to transpiration: https://cid-inc.com/blog/transpiration-in-plants-its-importa...

You're missing a step. You originally wrote "I don’t see why the shell must be both nice to program in and a concise textual interface."

I attempted to demonstrate how evolving a CLI session into a script is very beneficial. That bash is not great for that purpose is exactly the point of the article. A better shell language would mean not throwing away your organic, working code for a rewrite.

Unless you're trying to say that you rarely use the command line to explore a system and operate mostly through scripts. I think I would burn a lot of time in writing boiler plate when "curl | grep" would do the job for human consumption in less than 50 keystrokes.

> you are held responsible for other people's feelings, and for their feelings as a result of your words and actions, and

It also makes it impossible to distinguish between those whose feelings are truly hurt and those who pretend their feelings got hurt. On social media there is an appealing incentive for this later group to be more vocal and to inflict more harm as there is more audience. It's also a form of trolling: "Wonder if I can pretend to be offended and ban/cancel/pile on so and so. I'd get soooo many likes/retweets/upvotes etc!". We'd like to believe only a tiny fraction of people would engage in the later, but with online visibility and with no way to distinguish the two, the later group I think will start to get larger and larger over time.

This is also a benchmark of totalitarian nightmare. Can I denounce my neighbor and tell the ruling party they made anti-governmental remarks and have their family deported to a labor camp, if I don't like the choice of flowers in their garden? If the answer is "yes" then I may be living a totalitarian nightmare.

They are not even remotely as expensive in Russia, most common sold variety is shelled, of course. Also, nobody climbs trees to collect them, they use huge mallet to strike tree trunk wearing protective head gear and then collect pine cones from the ground.
So the Land Registry is at fault? Good luck...
as hinted at in my sibling comment, there’s a natural gradient toward the consolidation of power, propelled by individual actions to that end. we’ve reached a tipping point in the past 40–50 years where enough consolidation has happened that politicians no longer need to genuinely care about the populace at large, but rather only the plutocratic class.

Starlink exits beta, but SpaceX says orders are delayed due to chip shortage
I think your request for sources is quite unreasonable -- clearly the original comment was based on general informal observations and the fact that the environmental impact frequently shows up in news articles. However, I did find a paper you can look up:

An Index of Cryptocurrency Environmental Attention (ICEA), (Yizhi Wang, Brian M. Lucey, Samuel Vigne, Larisa Yarovaya).

It is pretty dense, but here's the first paragraph of their conclusion:

"We have developed a new measure of attention to sustainability concerns of cryptocurrency markets’ growth. An Index of Cryptocurrency Environmental Attention (ICEA) has been constructed using 778.2 million news stories from the Lexis Nexis database. The index demonstrates significant increases in attention to cryptocurrency environmental impacts displayed via both traditional and social media channels from 2014 to 2021. Our findings suggest that the public is growing more concerned with energy consumption of these innovative asset."
How would this work in deeply red or blue states? If you redraw the districts in California to put all the red voters together, that district will be competitive, but you have gerrymandered all the other districts to be blue forever.

I think districts should represent sections of the geographic population. Its fine for a district to be uncompetetive if the general population in that region have a strong lean one way or the other.
So if somebody intends to intimidate but fails they should go to jail?
as opposed to virtually removing?....
I suspect it's not "couldn't" but "wouldn't": It's easier to sell it at a 40% discount to customers with reduced expectations than to try to go off-script through the streamlined, automated, quality-controlled assembly/packaging process.

Raw parts in, good parts out is easier and safer than usually putting in raw parts, but sometimes putting in refurbished parts. Imagine you need something as insignificant as a replacement SIM tray, a replacement for the bent SIM tray ejector pin, and the scratch protectors, stickers, and box labels that need replacement to get that in and out. The scratch protector plastic film might be automatically applied from a massive roll as the case is conveyed out of the coating machine; it's not made to be hand applied. How would a technician guarantee that it's just the SIM tray that broke due to contamination in the injection molding machine and not a problem with the spring contacts inside the phone? The SIM ejector pin probably costs less than a penny and is automatically inserted in every hardware pack that are stuffed and weighed automatically to a fraction of a gram; do you have a technician inspect each one or just throw the old parts away and replace the whole bag?

As a controls engineer, I work hard to make sure that a knowledgeable operator can run my robotic manufacturing cells with minimal waste. The first 80% of a cell, the no-faults "happy path" takes not too much time, but I have spent hundreds - probably thousands - of hours of my life ensuring that my cells are as flexible and fault tolerant as practical. But it's really hard. Customers are always on-board when it makes financial sense, and often when it makes environmental or ethical sense, but sometimes the laws of physics and the Pandora's box of automation just require some waste and leave a particular process untenable.
Probably the biggest barrier to ending daylight saving time is... do you go to year-round winter time or summer time?

And that's kind of the upside of daylight saving time: in winter, when days are short, you really want to get the daylight in the morning not in the evening; but in summer, when days are long, you want to move the extra morning daylight to the evening. So DST is kind of a compromise where we suffer the negative results of the changeover to get the positive results of morning light in winter and the positive results of extra evening light in summer.
Convoy | Software Engineers (Mid, Senior) | Atlanta, GA / Seattle, WA / Fully Remote | https://www.convoy.com

Convoy is a digital freight marketplace building up a network of shippers and carriers while reducing overall carbon emissions in the age-old trucking industry.
Convoy is hiring software engineers. The base pay and benefits are competitive with generous pre-IPO equity grants. Work life balance is great, ICs have lots of autonomy and opportunity to propose projects, influence priorities, and speak directly with leadership. There's an opportunity to ask questions to the CEO and executives every week. I've never worked at another company with this level of candidness and transparency.

The tech stack is modern, you'll learn TypeScript, GraphQL, React, Kafka, k8s, AWS and have opportunities to bring in new-to-the-company technologies / open source projects / SaaS offerings.

There is SO much work to do. Every hour you put in contributes to the goal of reducing carbon emissions in the trucking industry.

Convoy HQ is in Seattle, WA, but we're opening a new engineering office in Atlanta, GA. We're fully remote currently, and we'll hire remote engineers moving forward.

If you have any questions, I'm be happy to set up 30 minutes to chat. (Current Convoy SWE, ex-Amazon, ex-Coupang).

And you completely misunderstood the intention of my response: people should try to look beyond their own fragile sensibilities the contribution rather than the aesthetics. Barring that they should just pass (instead of criticizing).
You're right it's not simple, it would require a refresh of uikit and a transition period for developers to learn how to opt in or opt out. There are existing ui frameworks like what android provides that show how to define ui elements, strokes, padding, margins, and text to use either scaled pixels or fixed pixels.

Leave everything as fixed pixels for backwards compatibility and add scaled pixels in for new development. I can guarantee that if Apple ported the main apps like Finder, Mail, Safari, Calendar, Music to support resolution independence that other developers would jump on board quickly to keep up to date.

The price of a big mac obeys supply and demand.

The actual cost of producing it is but one factor in many in the final price, and likely not the most important.

Where the hump is in the price vs actual volume of Big Mac sold curve actually is what matters.
IMHO, it's been an escalation of tit-for-tat from both sides of the aisle.

News sources, 'Community organizers', corporate activists, religious leaders etc. have all been increasingly brazen as they take increasingly polarized positions to counter actions from the other side.

What's missing is common decency and sympathy for the other person's point of view. We won't find it by clinging to our own political party or news sources. We're going to have to interact with real, actual people who are different than we are and learn to strike a balance between their needs and our own.
