Languages take off broadly because there's something compelling about them (and it isn't necessarily a technical reason). One of most compelling reasons for adopting Rust is memory safety and that may not be terribly compelling.

The comment about it being over a decade old was mostly that it wasn't some new thing that people are unsure about where it can be used. It's mature and has been successful in some niches (and keep in mind that niches can be large).
no it's not, they are all the same

is OP trying to pump his portfolio? that's what he meant by "library focused"?
I don't think so; it says "moderately". As in, this is a marathon, not a sprint. If you run too fast, you won't get to the end of the race.
I think big tech and entertainment will actively fight against blockchain domains if it comes to it. Their brands are massively squatted on from what I've seen. Here's a single ETH wallet that's squatting on a solid 40 .eth domains with high value trademarks:

Do you think `microsoft` or `disneyland` or `amazonprime` or `barclays`, etc. are going to be onboard with a system where their global brand names get zero legal protection? Not likely IMO.

> I said I don't know which library would let me make C# method calls from a Java Spring runtime, presumably in the same process. Do you? Feel free to share a link.

You don't need a library for that, it's is part of the language. Java can call code from native libraries, C# can export native functions. It can also be another process. [1]

> Yes, the whole point was to come up with a concrete example for the sake of argument, and see how we can accomplish it in practice. We're not writing academic papers here, the fact that this functionality is widely available is a good thing.

The problem is that you moved the goalposts. "I need to interoperate with C# code" is very different from "I need to interoperate with C# code and my company uses microservices and that's the only thing I know".

You can't claim something is automatically worse just because you're ignorant about it.

> Yes, me and 95% of the industry. Again, it's unfortunate but here we are.

Nope. There are exactly zero companies claiming to use microservices when they have exact two services. And it's not about size, by the way, it's about different architectural patterns.

Revolutionary Social Media Dapp
Hi! We have created Kolor, the first social media dapp.

Check it out here: https://kolor.social/

Use MetaMask and Ropsten testnet to log in.

What is it?

Kolor is a decentralized social platform based on blockchain. The purpose of Kolor is to create a platform that enables creators to make their content permanent and get deserved appreciation for it. Users log in with their crypto wallets, so they can remain anonymous if that's what they desire. They are also just one click away from tipping their favorite creators. The core idea of Kolor is that all content is free of ads available to everyone. If you like a particular creator, then you're welcome to appreciate their posts with ETH or (soon) any ERC-20 tokens (yes, you will be able to use Shiba Inu coin!).

What do I get from it?

On Kolor, a creator will have to think twice about posting content which serves no value because of gas fees (it costs money to upload a post). That way as a user you can expect only high quality content on the platform.

How do creators get rewarded?
On Kolor there's no like button. The way you appreciate artists is by transferring them your ETH and (soon) all ERC-20 tokens such as DAI, SHIB or anything you like! In further stages of development Kolor Creators will also be rewarded in Kolor Token.

How does it work?

When you upload posts to Kolor, they are sent to the blockchain. Right now we're using Ropsten testnet just to gather user feedback, in the later stages of development we are planning to integrate multiple chains. The post is sent to mempool (just like a normal transaction would) and after the next block is mined it is ready to be displayed on Kolor.

What network is it on?

The app is currently deployed on Ropsten testnet.
How do I interact with the dapp?
To interact with Kolor you need some testnet ethers. You can get some for free here: https://faucet.dimensions.network/ or here: https://faucet.ropsten.be/ and then have fun with them on https://kolor.social/
How do I log into the dapp?
To log into Kolor you need MetaMask wallet browser extension (https://metamask.io/)

Thanks for getting familiar with Kolor!

We're looking forward to getting feedback from you.

Now take a deep look at the POSIX C standard, Annex K. The bounds checked extensions. Using these would have definitely avoided the problem. memcpy_s requires the size of dest to be defined.

>You're saying even in the previous century you frequently heard others refer to their own child as "they"? And you didn't find it jarring one bit?

Sorry, too deep to reply directly to your comment which is a sibling of this, but, that is correct. I don't recall a person referring to their own child as "they" as ever being odd if I don't know that person's child and the speaker didn't otherwise gender the child.

It would sound slightly odd if that person said "My SON went to the park before they ate lunch" but "My CHILD went to the park before they ate lunch" has always sounded normal as far as I can recall.

https://steveblank.com/category/rocket-science-games/ describes the "Rocket Science" saga
Yes, nothing at all to do with Paul Allen, the wires just crossed in my brain. No I don't think it's anything like separating songs from their creators. L. Ron Hubbard conducted seminars on Dianetics and later authored the self-help book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. As you probably know, he later went on to found the church of scientology. I am a programmer not a journalist so this is as far as I'll go. I think the moral of the story is don't take these books as gospel and don't treat them as your bible.
Grooveshark was better than any other service - including Pandora - at exposing me to music that I wasn't expecting to love but did anyway.
Most of your points are about the Linux-distributions issues.
If Haiku was built on top of the Linux kernel, Gnome/Qt wouldn't matter but Wayland and the Limewire stack would probably be reused though.

> At the same time we want higher quality images

YMMV but 99% the images I see on the web, I don't care about their quality. A large part of them are annoying, and most of the others could be low-resolution and low-quality, I would not even notice it, except for the faster page load. Once in a while, a photo is artistic or interesting enough to gain from a high quality, but most web sites I visit have far too many heavy images.

Since this comes up whenever there is a Project Zero article, here is a summary I made in summer 2020 on the distribution of the bugs they find/report:

Since this always comes up, here's an overview I made several weeks ago about where Project Zero focuses their efforts:
All counts are rough numbers. Project zero posts:

Google: 24

Apple: 28

Microsoft: 36

I was curious, so I poked around the project zero bug tracker to try to find ground truth about their bug reporting: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list For all issues, including closed:

product=Android returns 81 results

product=iOS returns 58

vendor=Apple returns 380

vendor=Google returns 145 (bugs in Samsung's Android kernel,etc. are tracked separately)

vendor=Linux return 54

To be fair, a huge number of things make this not an even comparison, including the underlying bug rate, different products and downstream Android vendors being tracked separately. Also, # bugs found != which ones they choose to write about.
here is the last time they published their numbers

https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824...
Not my point. I'm asking why the link they posted is relevant.
Ask HN: What is the best platform for selling domain names?
I have a number of domain names I'm looking to dispose of. Though I've been gradually allowing some to lapse at the end of their registry period, I suspect that others have some value. I've sold a few domain names over the years, but am curious whether there are new platforms that provide better exposure or more-protection for both buyers and sellers beyond using an escrow service to manage the transfer.
However, he most certainly would have had a hilarious until banned Twitter account.

Hmm around 18-24 months ago I gave Apple Music a try but found there were TONS of tracks from my personal library that the service would not play. Perhaps they’ve improved things since then? I went all-in using Plex as a personal media server since then and while the UI isn’t as nice, it lets me steam my personal library anywhere from any device.

That explains the badge thing! Time to donate. Signal is not perfect and has a few things that make me really mad, but it is the best grandma-compatible IM we have.

I also hope they start listening to their users or integrating some PRs already contributed on GitHub.
I have tried that, but people online don't really have an open mind.

I'll tell you right now... I feel like there is a way to model the 3n+1 system of equations (or really any such generalized system) using Godel numbering as a representation of each operation, as a prime number based programming language of nature, and then try to glean something from the output primes to see if there is something that predicts the single 4->2->1 outcome we always see. e.g. if it is a certain form of Fermat prime or something.

It would require me to put my computers to work because these numbers get very big, but the real limitation is my time because I have three kids and cannot afford to quit my job.

OpenSSL is a project which is treated as a "somebody else's problem" dependency by everybody, and the extent to which everybody cares about TLS support, it's basically an "open up a TLS socket and what do you mean it's more complicated than that" situation.

By contrast, NSS is maintained by Mozilla as part of Firefox, and, furthermore, its level of concern is deep into the "we don't want to enable certain cipher suites, and we have very exacting certificate validation policies that we are part of the effort in defining"--that is to say, NSS isn't a "somebody else's problem" dependency for Mozilla but a very "Mozilla's problem" dependency.

That said, this is CERT_VerifyCertificate, not mozilla::pkix, and since this is not used in Firefox's implementation of certificate validation, I would expect that this particular code in the library would be less well-maintained than other parts. But the whole library itself wouldn't be in the same camp as OpenSSL.
Doubly so when you consider the supersonic barrier.

Air drag is proportional to the drag-coefficient * velocity^2. So doubling your speed quadruples the drag.

Except... the drag-coefficient itself is a complex curve over velocity. It barely changes from 0mph through 300mph, but once you reach transonic and supersonic speeds, the drag-coefficient skyrockets.

As a result: 250mph is more than 4x more efficient than 500mph from a drag perspective (4x predicted from Drag equation, but in practice might be 8x or more). This is mostly a problem for airplane efficiency and fuel consumption, but I'm sure it applies to war-machines and projectiles too.

--------

But modern airplanes fly at very high heights, so the air is thinner, reducing drag, but requiring a pressurized cabin lest everyone gets hypoxia.
I'm curious, could this be a realistic and cost-effective weapon for, for example, militias in third-world countries?

The point he made is that because the discrepancy in angle grows exponentially, the change from 1/d^2 to 1/d^3 has only a small effect on the time until the change builds up to O(1).
> Thats costly and difficult, if you want the island to be intact afterwards.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would almost certainly entail a prior reconciliation with extreme, prolonged economic disruption from severe global backlash. China desires to control Taiwan as a matter of territorial integrity (from its perspective), diminishment of U.S. strategic influence, and in general national pride. I wouldn't be surprised if the first inbound missiles targeted TSMC and other important industrial assets--less incentive for the U.S. to come to Taiwan's defense. (Not that I think the U.S's decision to intervene would be predicated on mere industrial ties.)
Nice work, congrats!

I think the most surprising thing to me is the lack of interrupts. If you read this, jstanley: did you struggle much with that decision? I think of interrupts as nearly universally available on 8-bit micros, much less 16, but I have also wondered before how important they really were for what those machines ended up being used for. The (S)NES polled their controllers' shift registers in a really inefficient way, but it turned out fine. On the other hand, though, the vertical blank interrupt was pretty critical to their software and, of course, it became extremely common for NES cartridges to add extra chips to raise interrupts on particular horizontal scanlines. But, aside from neat graphical tricks, maybe interrupts just weren't all that important?

Disabling SSR and prerender within SvelteKit turns the output into an SPA, and the manualChunks option in vite-plugin-singlefile ensures the output is one file that includes every page of the site.
On the other hand, if large parts of your income are tied in near-fixed expenses (e.g. mortgage), then 20% more net income can mean doubling your discretionary spending, and 20% decrease - almost eliminating it.

Yeah, it would be quite easy to do it with SQL based BI tools, as long as you can invert the selection back into a where clause. The tricky bit is overlaying the new data on top of the old (especially when you completely filter out some subset of the data, like a few bars from a barchart).
