Using Rust mods is exactly being lean and clean: would you rather take a bunch of include files, stupidly duplicates them in almost every translation units, and this would eventually blows up at some point of time, and is hard to reconfigure with some mysterious macro induced error, or, would you inter-depend on bunch of crates that might pull over 100mb of stuff at total that might have potential supply chain attack because it is too convenient to use modularized code?

I myself rather take the latter, at least the risk of not compiling successfully is lower and the chance of getting something done is higher. Security issue aside, there are crate scanners that exactly prevents this, and how can you do that with C?

Also, embedded code looking like Lambda code is a very good thing: both embedded system and Lambda are focused on doing one thing and do its best

Not just this, every last bit of economy is designed to benefit the exclusivity enjoyed by land lords.

No wonder the biggest beneficiary of the big salaries in Bay Area, CA is eventually the real estate market.

If land/housing/space is in short supply then every economic transaction is a kind of rent, you just don't notice it because you are paying for it instalments, its rent nevertheless.
The scale and demographic complexity of the US means you can't compare it as a whole to mono-cultural relatively small states. Brazil or India would be a more apples-to-apples comparison. Or you can compare Germany to US states. Housing is different in new england vs california or vs missisipi.

I always discover how Estonia is really amazing for lots of technology things. AFAIK they are by quite a margin the most advanced country in Europe when in comes to egovernment services. Moreover my (admittedly outside) impression is that they often go for technologically sound solutions not the ones which some large lobby organisation pushed for. This is particularly remarkable considering how small the country is, and in stark contrast to the mess that is egovernment services in Germany the richest country in Europe.

It's do-able with cfg_if crate macro, but I really don't think much of the result in many complex situations, compared to what can be done in C/C++.

Also, using the cfg! macro (which you need to do to use it in logic) I think is stripped out at link time (I had all sorts of issues with this), so if you've got intrinsics which don't compile on the current platform, that's not helpful (maybe I did something wrong here, but I've googled it a lot, and asked for help several times on the Rust Discord server).
Well, given that the people of the region were told for decades that their ancestors were too sub-human to have advanced well enough to develop the technology to build a wall out of bricks with no mortar, which subsequently survived centuries .. I would posit that it is not appropriate to label this as anything more than 'cultural relief that the racist view is being removed from their zeitgeist, because: science, bitches.'

The Great Zimbabwe site was built by a people who clearly had more understanding of the world of physics during their time than we allowed for in our pro-European narratives, so far.

The same is true of many, many other sites around the world, which don't fit the narrative of western academics' world view of themselves and their Eureopean cultures, and which undermine the perspective that prior civilizations were primitive in their approach to technology and application of scientific discoveries.

The hubris and arrogance of this field is slowing being peeled away, layer by layer, and replaced with facts which update the context of human history. Its not without some relief that I personally note that this is no longer the exclusive purview of european academics with an agenda ..

> For me it also raises the question of whether they have any subjective experience approximating what we describe as consciousness, or if the entirety of their life is just a long form electro-chemical reaction of deeply nested feedback loops programmed into ~55 million base pairs.

Maybe they are the same thing. Adapting to the environment in order to survive is also the role of consciousness and intelligence in humans. The struggle for life provides a learning framework for the brain, and an intrinsic space of values and emotion, but for each species is different depending on their ecological niche.

I often see people musing about consciousness as something supernatural (a "hard problem" for science), but forgetting to consider the formative role of the environment and the tight coupling of consciousness with goals, which are attainable in the environment. So the macro is being overlooked for the micro.

We can explain much by just looking at the environment-body interaction without the need to identify the pixie dust in the brain. I think consciousness is a process encompassing the interplay between the body and part of the environment, not just the brain. We can't find it in the brain or in the neural net alone, but we can find it in a game of goal maximization of a learning agent. That would include a tardigrade[1].

> I do. Among other reasons, because the damages will far outweigh the sacrifices, if we don't prevent the worst consequences of climate change. But what we also need is a shift in mindset: Optimize for happiness and not for economic growth.

I agree you but I agree more with OP, but would rephrase: there’s zero chance that a sufficient majority of people will agree with reducing consumption. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter at all what you and I think would be better. If we really do want to prevent the worst damage of climate change then we’re beyond the point where we can rely on an extremely radical population-wide attitude shift occurring in the next few years.

"As an intensive (and reluctant) user of GNU Make, I keep looking for a more modern replacement."

Unless I am mistaken, the author of https://cr.yp.to/redo.html never implemented the idea. He has since used only the Bourne shell and standard UNIX utilties as a build system instead of make. For example, consider the "do" script in this project: https://nacl.cr.yp.to

The "do" script was written circa 2011. The idea for "redo" was published circa 2003. The idea for "make" dates back to 1976. GNU Make was written around 1989.
For the avoidance of doubt, I am not suggesting any of these build system ideas or implementations are better or worse than the others. That is for the reader to decide. I am only pointing out which one is the most recent, or most modern, if we use the word "modern" according to its dictionary definition.

That’s trivial to do with cfg-if and similar crates.

There are many Rust libraries that support dozen different hardware architectures using conditional compilation.

I really don’t think this is true, and is defeatist at best. SIP and XMPP both had a good shot at creating a federated Internet-wide communication system, and we are doing our best to build one with Matrix or die trying.

I accept that Netflix and Disney are rental services. Google and amazon however "sell" films and series that can be accessed through their service. In my opinion users should have a legally protected right to download / backup any content that they buy that is not explicitly time limited.
The rent favouring culture and policies that give strong protections to tenants are really the smart thing to do in housing policy. It doesn't make sense for most people to borrow and put large amounts of capital into one basket where you can't use the #1 risk management tool of normal investment (diversification).

Like the article says, Austria is another country where housing is really well run.

>> For example, consider the case of the photon, the massless spin-1 particle of light and electromagnetism. For such a particle, the equation describing four-particle interactions — where two particles go in and two come out, perhaps after colliding and scattering — has no viable solutions.

>> Gluons are also massless spin-1 particles, but they represent the case where there are multiple types of the same massless spin-1 particle. Unlike the photon, gluons can satisfy the four-particle interaction equation, meaning that they self-interact.

Newbie question: Shouldn't then theory need to explain why there are multiple typse of Gluons, but not of photons?

re: "at will"

You've fallen for a misconception that there are 2 types of states in the US as regards the type of reasons an employee can be fired: "at will," and "right to work." That's incorrect. In fact, when it comes to being able to be fired for almost arbitrary reasons (e.g. boss doesn't like the color of your car, or something), there are 2 types of states, but they are "at will," and "Montana."

Let me explain that a bit.

First of all, "at will" and "right to work" are neither opposites nor mutually exclusive. "Right to work" simply means that, if there is a union in the company, people who join the union can't be forced to contribute to the union. [0] In other words, it bans what are called "union shops." As you can tell, this has literally nothing to do with the legal reasons which one can be fired for. Every "right to work" state is also an "at-will" state.

"At will" means pretty much what you think it does: that, absent a specific employment contract stating otherwise, an employee can be fired for almost any reason that isn't considered discriminatory or retaliatory under federal law. [1] There are some nuances to this, but, employers know how to do the dance to get around these things, for the most part, so, you're probably not going to fall under any of the exceptions. Chances are pretty good, actually, that you acknowledged that you are an at-will employee in your offer letter.

Now... Montana. Montana is the oddball here. In Montana, once you've worked for an employer for 1 year, or the length of the probation period specified in that employer's policies, you can't be fired without "good cause." Under Montana law, "Good cause is generally defined, in Montana, as reasonable job related grounds for dismissal based upon (1) a failure to satisfactorily perform job duties, (2) disruption of the employer’s operation, or (3) other legitimate business reasons." [2]. Specifically, an employee can't be fired for "no reason," or a silly reason like "boss doesn't like the color of your car."

Montana is completely unique in this regard. No other state offers this kind of protection to an employee.

So, to summarize: "right to work" has nothing to do with "at-will," and all states are "at-will" except for Montana.

I'm 30+ and it actually took me some time to realise the other meaning, since I don't use IDEs (the software) much at all, but was very familiar with the IDE hardware interface from embedded systems work.

Although I am not sure about the history of the term Integrated Development Environment and its acronymisation, I don't think the early IDEs were called such --- the acronym IDE was basically exclusively used for the disk interface.

You are conflating automation with remote control.

Replacing a lightswitch with an app that requires human interaction is indeed ridiculous.

Replacing a lightswitch with a motion sensor has been a staple feature of commercial buildings for decades.

Similar for heating control, occupancy detection, adaptive lighting, energy management, etc. Replacing a physical entity without adding any value to it is pointless, hence the 'automation' part of the phrase
Here's why any rotating perpetuum mobile device cannot work regardless of the principle (gravity, magnets, springs, balls, ...). Anything that moves on it's own is moving because it is lowering it's potential energy. You start at 12 o'clock, and it moves to 3 o'clock because there, it will have lower potential energy. Then it continue to move but eventually it will reach the starting point (because it is circular). But you already know that potential energy there is higher, so the device will not move there because it wants to lower it's potential energy, not raise it.

So any device that at some point reaches it's starting configuration cannot work because the potential energy is the same. If you put ball on flat plane it will not move sideways because potential energy is the same there.
Yes, these comments are unreal to me too, and I think we are witnessing a great deal of white guilt manifesting itself as cowardly dismissal. It is incredible to be witnessing here on HN, but it speaks to how much work is still left to be done in the world, to deal with the hubris and arrogance of western moral authority -- which is as much a fallacy as anything.

Peoples investment in the authority and altitude of their own cultures is like a giant boat that won't be turned by anything but a major current. We are but waves on these arrogant bows, friend.

Probably because they're so small they're overlooked by the salespeople and lobbyists from the big corps. I imagine that helps a lot.

I still love the tech. I still love the mindsets of the people I got to meet through crypto and while there is a lot of BS, there are also a lot of very smart people working to build things that give us a fighting chance to take back some of the control and privacy that we have surrendered to FAANG and co.

So, criticize away. Or just shit on it if you want, which is what some of HN is really doing. It changes nothing. I for one am grateful for everything constructive being said, because it paves the way to a future I and many others are hopeful and excited about.

I wouldn't consider the UK as a good example of affordable housing.

First of all, compared to the rest of Europe houses are small - my parents have a house that's slightly larger than the average, it has 3 bedrooms in 90m2 including the
garage. The housing stock - even new houses - are all pretty inefficient and need a lot of energy to heat. The rest of Europe has been pushing energy efficiency standards (in terms of heating demand), especially Scandanavia and the Baltic's, while the UK has pretty much stood still and builds houses today the same as they did 30 years ago.

For this you are going to be paying a lot. Two people on average salaries would not be able to get a mortgage for my parents' house, and it's not anywhere near London or other big cities. And that's assuming you could earn an average salary - in their area that would be a bit of a push as most of the jobs are in the service and tourism industry.
This is precisely what outsourcing is. The idea that a company can get more for less. It’s pretty often criticized.
