Good. I am glad we are getting serious and objective analyses of Rust's core and ecosystem. Surfacing such issues is healthy.

I am still impressed by the (IMO) small amount of issues uncovered. We're talking 43k+ packages and the Rust's stdlib and compiler. Only 76 CVEs! That might sound like a lot but it's definitely, what, 0.0018% compared to the number of packages. That means that for each CVE [that has been resolved and patched] you'll get ~566 packages fixed in one fell swoop.

Super rough estimations, of course, but I am glad that such work exists. I'd love to see even more of it! Rust is a modern fan object (including by myself) but we need less fandom and more facts. Let's have them.

Anybody knows links to other similar works like Rudra?
> Only a numerical minority of farms are actually designed to grow food.

"Numerically", ok. But by landmass the majority is used to grow food, right?
I want all my data in a gigantic HTML table, said no user ever
>But it's not an option for 99.999% of app makers and it would be bad for consumers.

Then you will just have to live with being disadvantaged to a platform's creator when competing on their platform. They have the home field advantage.

>No. It's more than just useless. It is a great demonstration of how every ideology becomes insanity if you take it to its extremes.

You are the one making it extreme. If you think the strategic decision of developing your own mobile ecosystem is silly then there is always the option to not do it.

There is no rule in this game that it has to be profitable to release stuff on the app store. Apple could just decide one day that third party apps are a security and privacy problem and then remove them all leaving only Apple apps.
> The numbers I remember from Germany are that an unvaccinated person is 8 times more likely to land in ICU than a vaccinated person.

In my state (Saxony), 90% of patients in intensive care beds are unvaccinated. Just under 60% of the population is fully vaccinated here (lowest rate in Germany). That means that the unvaccinated are in fact "overrepresented" in intensive care by a factor of about 22.
That seems dismissive and I don't know why you would be hearing that. If there is a way to do this that you think would not qualify as an excuse, then you should mention it, otherwise both of us are stuck to what we are limited to by these bodies that require rest and sustenance.
By its very name (and the fact that the MEANING of the name flip-flopped in mid-flight after launch) you can tell that the designers of YAML had no clue what they were doing, because originally they named it "YAML" for "Yet Another Markup Language", when it clearly was NOT a markup language.

Only AFTER YAML had been around and in use for a few years did those geniuses actually realize that they had made a mistake in naming it something that it's not, and retroactively changed the name "YAML" to mean "YAML Ain't Markup Language", which was a too clever by half way of whitewashing the fact that they originally CLAIMED it was "Yet Another Markup Language", since they had no idea what a markup language actually was.

I prefer to use markup languages and data definition languages that were designed by people who are situationally aware enough to know what the difference between a markup language and a data definition language is, please.

Hard pass on YAML, whatever it stands for this week.
DDR4 DIMMs have (almost?) exclusively 8kiB pages.
If you have 2 channels with interleaving, like AFAIK the default on all current x86 desktop platforms, you get the same 16kiB effective page size as the typical[0] TLB compressing (which smashes the 4 4kiB pagetable entries in a cacheline worth of lowest-level pagetable into a single virtual 16kiB TLB entry if they have the same attributes and look exactly as a smashed 16kiB page table entry would look like (alignment, contiguous, etc.)).

[0]: Zen3 does it for sure, but I think I also saw it somewhere else.
But that's not how evolution works, is it? If living creatures didn't have more capability than they need to survive, they would necessarily go extinct the minute the environment changed.

Also, as I wrote in my other comment, there are "dumb" appliances on the market - the fact that most people won't search for them is exactly what makes them rare.
You are correct!

Without using this technique you'd have the camera in shot.
I would say it's pretty dang tough to not have cement.

What do you use for a house foundation? Many apartments are made of cement and essentially every building uses a cement foundation.

Luckily, cement is not a big part of the total emissions.

Neither is long haul travel, particularly. Short haul flights are about half of all passenger-miles in air travel, can be made fully electric, and long-haul and medium haul flights can be split up into multiple legs for almost every route.

EDIT:I will say there are ways to reduce CO2 emissions from cement. You can make clinker with electric heat just fine. But half the CO2 is from the clinker itself. Over time, cement will absorb the CO2 it emitted as it fully cures, but that can take a century. It’s possible to accelerate that process. It’s also possible to use alternatives, like sulfur cement.
He never returned anything and was a pretty frequent buyer (he was big into a lot of hobbies that he could build electronics and he built stuff for work). They rung him up and then the store employee said they couldn't sell him these items. He started ordering from catalogs after that. Didn't matter much I guess as Radio Shack stopped selling components not long after.
South Australia already gets the majority of their energy from renewables [1] [2]. They recently commissioned (end of Oct '21) two synchronous condensers [3] that allow for a reduction in thermal generation for grid frequency support. (EDIT: See my below comment for retraction of this broad statement: "They have the lowest energy costs in Australia"), and have only had an hour or two of outages in the last five years.

the US political system is completely broken, and it's destroying a great country. it's a leadership problem, and needs someone who is capable of detaching and acting in the best interest of the country, not themselves or their party.

Fun fact, I think Russia has the longest single electric network. So long in fact the network in the East runs a half phase behind the West!
Parking garages only make economic sense when the cost of enough land for a parking lot exceeds the cost of making a parking garage, which is almost never true except in urban areas. I'm sure there might be rare exceptions, but the Trader Joe's in question (Trader Joe’s at Hollywood and Vine) is definitely not one of those exceptions.

I'm finding the stories of a wide range of animals being susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 worrisome, as it seems to indicate that even in optimistic scenarios there are going to be significant reservoirs of the virus and diverse variants in the wild, well, forever, periodically breaking out into the broader human population, often from some random initial animal vector.

We're never going to eradicate it at this point, it is going to remain endemic in perpetuity, as common as the flu but significantly deadlier.
Except that Powerball tickets cost $2 each, not one dollar as you were assuming. (And of course, taxes)

You’re both right. Group hug!
Sure, I'll take a snippet from an upcoming book of mine that I need to finish

ReactJS has a wildly inflexible architecture that aggressively forces their users to conform to an orthodoxy. As an example let's say we have the following
code

function C() {
var A = {
something: () => console.log("hi")
},
B = document.createElement('div');

B.onclick = () => A.something();
}

This small snippet of code violates "best practices" in react and thus is almost, but not quite impossible to do.

See the problem here is that B and A are directly interacting with each other. If we were to map things in react-land, they would show that C has "children" of A and B and here A and B talk to each other "horizontally" which is heretic to the purity of the
orthodoxy.

The hierarchical nature here is an unwavering assertion about the world. Essentially the claim is as follows:

C
/ \
A---B

The A <=> B is what forces us to wear a scarlet letter and live on the edge of the town.

Therefore we no longer solve a problem. Instead, we are imposed upon us an aesthetic puritism do to a natural belief of "props down, events up". A popular way to do this basic programming technique that's been readily available in effectively every programming language since the first digital computer (Plankalkül had it in 1942) is the usual suspects either add "a new testament" to the orthodoxy, in this case with something called "redux" or figure out an acrobatic way to comply.

Let's do the second. So we need to "pass down" things that will "pass up". We have a solution, now we must go backwards, first we will go
into "classes" to make things more orthodox.

class A {
componentDidMount() {
this.props.connector(this);
}
something() {
console.log('hi');
}
render() {
return;
}
};

class B {
render() {
return <div onClick={ this.props.onClick }>
}
};

class C {
constructor() {
super(props);

// here's our connecting function
this.connector = this.connector.bind(this);
this.onclick = this.onclick.bind(this);
this.state = {connector: ''};
}

connector(obj) {
this.setState({connector: obj});
}

onclick() {
this.state.connector.something();
}

render() {
return (
<A connector={ this.connector } />
<B onClick={ this.onclick } />
);
}
};

So to simplify this flow

A -> B

We now do

C -> A -> C -> B -> C -> A

Or as a diagram, we get the following:

.---◢ ◣----.
.▶B---▶C--. \
| ◤--'|\ ▼ /
\____/ '►A-'

See how we do multiple round trips passing things through C in order to maintain the hierarchy? This is how we stay within the orthodoxy

If this looks like Ptolemaic astonomy, that's not a coincidence! In Ptolemaic astronomy the assumption of Earth being
the center of the universe was enforced as the orthodoxy. As a result you got epicycles upon epicycles because the simpler model was
forbidden.

People were so committed to the more convoluted orthodoxy that anyone who questioned it was put on trial for heresy.

Claiming that A -> B was even possible was the crime.

The great success of React is in enforcing a new kind of authoritarianism: it enforces doctrine by explicitly disallowing heretical code.
> Anyone thinking about multi-GPU will buy a motherboard with at least 2 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots anyway, no switches required. You can even get motherboards with 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 slots without breaking the bank.

I'm pretty sure you're referring to motherboards that have two slots which are mechanically x16, but actually using the second slot borrows half of the lanes from the first slot, leaving you operating at x8+x8. This is not the same as having a full 48+ lane PCIe packet switch between the CPU and two slots each wired for x16, which was very common for high-end consumer motherboards in the PCIe gen2 era (eg. with NVIDIA's NF200 switch).

These days, you can get 32+ lanes straight from the CPU to enable two x16 slots, but that requires stepping up to a bigger CPU socket than the mainstream consumer CPU+motherboard platforms use. And I don't think you can yet buy a motherboard with two PCIe gen5 x16 slots at any price: as far as I can tell, none of the Intel Alder Lake motherboards announced so far include PCIe switches, because such switches have been cost-prohibitive for several generations now.
there are lots of publicly available feedback channels, should be possible to verify your hypothesis
But do you actually have a job doing that? I want to dream as much as the next person, but I’m not being paid to dream (not to the extend you are describing anyway).
Don't hate the player hate the game I guess. If Palantir didn't build the tools someone else like Clearview AI would.

Anyone can now buy motion activated cameras with enough storage for months of video, some even battery powered for <$100 each. A couple of those pointed at your residence is enough to remove a ton of privacy. Now imagine some company/blockchain rewards ppl for uploading those motion caps.
> When people buy access to a service via a subscription in an iOS app, they are essentially Apple’s customers. For privacy reasons Apple does not provide much information about them to the apps or businesses that run the apps. That means it’s hard to do customer service, address issues, or solve any problems.

> “The user experience is much worse,” a marketing executive from one company told me. “When you buy with the developer, they have a relationship with you ... when you buy from Apple: sorry, you’re Apple’s customer, not ours, and if you have a problem with a subscription … we can’t really help them.”

Now interview a real user of subscriptions instead of a brand marketing executive and ask them if the user experience is worse.

PS. Even when not confronted with such a piece, remember that Forbes is no longer the business journalism folks may have grown up with. For the past decade, it’s a blogging platform for independent contributors:

Forbes provides the technology and compensates some of the contributors, but otherwise, like all entrepreneurs, contributors are left to sink or swim on their own.

The initial comment was definitely that bad. Horse paste was obviously a swipe (what the HN guidelines refer to as calling names), and an inflammatory provocation. This has been a classic flamewar topic for some time now. The flamewar was entirely predictable.

I compulsively edit everything I write - sorry if that was confusing. And thanks for the kind reply—I appreciate it, and believe me I know how hard it is.
And Lua. I'm mentioning Lua, right now.
They used that a whole bunch for the mirror scenes in Quantum Leap where Sam would look in the mirror and see himself as whoever he leaped into and there was someone else in the scene. That series was a boon for actors who had identical twins.

The other identical twin thing I remember was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Xander was split into two, one of him all his strengths and the other all his weaknesses. Nicholas Brendon's twin brother was used in the scenes where there were two Xanders in one shot.
I honestly think most languages belong to this category. I can't really think of a language that changed so much that old code no longer works (other than python 2 -> python 3).

England does this and it's beautiful.

Should he be allowed to put up billboards using public money? Obviously this is not a financially viable scheme without the public money put into it.

The problem with progressives is they want to do this everywhere. Millions of people can't live downtown in cities, the most environmental friendly thing you can do, because looks, that's a problem.

If you are a little organic labour intensive farms, that not about producing food, that's looks and culture. The consumer wants a story, including what they see when they drive past.

Solar panels should not be put in beautiful places. There's enough shitty roofs and desert(Again shitty desert, not next to a scenic road) to still be filled.
that's what things like COP26 should have been for - breaking the borders between our made up nations and agreeing to solve this problem together as global citizens
For those wondering, the nmda receptor which is in charge of motor function seems to have anti-depressant potential. This is what ketamine and other nmda medications activate. And it seems like this novel peptide interacts with that as well in some way.

Not a scientist but have experimented with a ton of compounds trying to relieve feelings of dread brought on by being raised in the lower class of society due to a father who was disabled. And later on rejection from jobs because of lack of education and being forced to work for extremely low wages. Messes up your self respect after awhile.

Anyways,

Drugs won’t solve anything for longer than a few weeks or months, but what nmda drugs I have tried seemed to have the biggest breakthrough from serious depression. So ymmv
In India government is encouraging this and have a scheme for farmers to setup solar plants and do farming together. The scheme is yet to pickup but good to see results like this.
Hi !

Am I missing something ?
I don't think anyone who actually bothers to run the numbers suggests that solar will meet 100% of a buildings energy needs.
However, even at 100 residents per acre[0], it's utterly possible to put about 4-6kw of panels and a solar water heater on every house. Having both of those on a duplex, I can tell you that my power bill is basically nothing now.

Naturally, that power output will differ by location, but it's doable.

As someone who has had friends and family lose loved ones to covid-19, I hope you don't find out the hard way how wrong you are about the former.
Yeah. Are these the real numbers or the gamed ones?

All of FANG seems to play this game where they will not send you a formal offer until you informally accept their informal offer. All to juice the “percent accepted” numbers and to make it marginally harder to play competing offers off each other.
Free advertising for apps and everyone here can only see it as nefarious?
The numbers have always been an irrelevant side issue. If you want to disagree with me saying that a boycott that seems arbitrary will be overwhelmingly less effective than one that seems principled, then by all means disagree with that. But don't hammer me with these demands for crazy precision and then accuse me of all this crap because I clarified what I was saying like I was asked to. And now you say I'm lying about what I was saying? WTF?

Concrete and jet travel are not existential. They're a few percent of the total. 3% for cement and 2% for aviation. Less than 1% for long haul aviation.

If that was it the only thing left, we'd have no problem. That's at pre-industrial emissions level. https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/09/Emissions-by-sect...

Long haul aviation makes immigration feasible without dangerous long ship trips, which are worse emissions than long haul aviation. So we should keep them around in some form, but we can improve the efficiency and even electrify them.

Hence why Tesla sells Powerwalls instead of supporting V2G. There are also subsidies for Powerwalls from a variety of entities, and they can be orchestrated in concert to create a virtual power plant. V2G for anything other than emergency power is unnecessary complexity.

By the time even one major new HSR route will be finished, we'll have certified and be flying electric passenger aircraft with just as much speed and just as long of a route (500 miles) BUT with ability to go anywhere in the country by hopping.

How about simply using pure full blown JavaScript or Python for config files, and not hiring people who you can't trust not to write infinite loops?

Or if you really must, then simply interrupt processes that loop infinitely, and fix the bugs that caused it.

You know, like you already do when you have an infinite loop.

Infinite loops are not the end of the world, you know. Processes can be interrupted, and computers have reset buttons.

If Afghanistan trusted the US and the US proceeded to torture and execute Bin Laden, they would have no recourse. If the US trusted Afghanistan and Afghanistan proceeded to not cooperate then the US could then start the invasion.
