It's actually the opposite. If anything being evangelical about Rust is heavily discouraged

The truth is Rust is an amazing language, with its own warts (async, Pin, etc.), but there is pent up demand for language that fits its description. Non-manual, non-GC low level oriented language. It's not a wonder some projects are switching to Rust
Hey. ScyllaDB employee here. There are several reasons C++ was used and I don't think span ultimately matters. List from top of my head (ordered randomly):

1) we use intrusive containers, so memory managing container data structures is collocated with actual data.
2) memory allocation is not tied to GC, so we don't get pauses
3) there's almost none synchronization between different threads and there are (almost) no globals. For a story why globals are a killer for performance, read https://www.p99conf.io/2021/09/28/hunting-a-numa-performance...
4) the previous is only possible with existence of a user space scheduler which guarantees that specific threads are pinned to a single CPU. Also, there's no need to call mmap multiple times, as Seastar (concurrency framework written with Scylla in mind) allocates whole system memory and takes advantage of overcommitting in Linux. There's no syscall at memory allocation, just some userspace work and a possible page fault.

I'm not sure whether C# can do away with these problems? Let me know if you know. That being said, modern C++ is really convenient. Not anything you've seen 15 years ago in university.
I think, in general, most FastAPI and Pydantic related libraries are heavily typed, use poetry, GitHub pipelines, black, isort, flake8 etc. so if you want to look at the ecosystem around a package I’ll recommend a few here, that has a smaller scope than the huge libraries Pydantic/FastAPI are. All packages listed below has all these things.

FastAPI-Azure-Auth [0] is a library to do authentication and authorization through Azure AD using tokens.

ASGI—Correlation-ID[1] is a package that utilizes contextvars to store information through the asyncio stack, in order to attach correlation/request ID to every log message from a request. Django-GUID [2] does the same for both sync and async Django.

Pydantic-factories [3] is an awesome library to mock data for your pydantic models.

Every morning I read a section of the Bible's Old Testament, Psalm, Proverb and New Testament.

I then use the Lord's Prayer as a framework to pray. Having done this for many years I have observed we begin 'Our Father' and focus on God. My own inclination would be to start with 'Forgive me' and focus on me.

I then spend my day trying to honour Jesus's teachings. The highs and lows of the previous day are discussed the next morning.
Well you got to consider a search engine isn't a blog where it just fetches a file off disk and is done with it, a trivial search query might as well be, but a non-trivial search query may have to do a search through dozens of megabytes of ids to produce its response (given these are the 800k documents that contain 'search', which of those contain 'engine', and which of those contain 'algorithm').

I honestly don't know what the actual limit is, all I know is it dealt with 2 QPS without affecting response times. But 2 QPS for a search engine is actually kind of a lot. Most people don't actually search that much. Like you get a few queries per day. Put it this way: 2 QPS is what you'd expect if you had around a million regular users. That's not half bad for consumer hardware.
Someone should really focus on building a trusted jailbreak solution so we (and not apple or google) can decide what we install on our $1,000 phones. Anyone knows a project working on this?
This person is claiming that renting a car is absurd? Does he not realize people need to get around when they arrive somewhere? Now that is what is absurd. I am sure the market and customer service is shit right now because of the car shortage, but it will be right back where it is after the pandemic blows over. These people discounting capitalism will always be proven wrong in the long run.

Cheques are an anachronism. I think I remember seeing my mother write a cheque some thirty years ago. I have never written or received one myself. I doubt I know anyone under fifty who has. Unless they've lived in the US, of course.
It must have been around 2006 when I registered my Steam account. I was just a kid back then. Didn't understand the fact the buy button was lying to me.
This is infeasible though as evidenced by how actual theft doesn't get handled by the legal system (police, prosecutors, and judges). Realistically the only way to get your stuff back is to take it back yourself or somehow force the police into action by doing the work for them.
Wouldn't surprise me if the amount of waste an ICU unit creates were literally 100x to 1000x the waste of a person not needing that care
Here in Central Europe we use "postal money orders". It works almost exactly like a check, the only difference is that the money is transferred to a state post organization first, then the paper slip is given to the recipient, and the recipient can either cash it out or have the money transferred to their bank account.

It's widely used by older people to receive pension and pay rent/utilities (these people often don't have access to internet banking, or don't know how to use it, or don't trust it), and by all other age groups to receive social security money (these people are often unable to have a bank account or would have their money taken from the account due to "executions" - payment orders forced on them by courts).
I understand it's an estimation. What I don't know is how useful / close enough it can be.

Is this "good enough" for when you're purchasing a used car / computer / iphone or when you're thinking of taking that long trip with your already well-worn Tesla?
> Second, sorting is a solved problem. Regardless of theoretical efficiency, we have so many ways to sort things, there is almost always really fast in practice ways of sorting data.

By the same reasoning, economy would be a solved problem: you just need to have money.

Computing correlation by sorting a large amount of samples instead of reading them once is a cost difference that can make your data processing practically infeasible despite the efficiency of sorting algorithms.
They also don't mention time spent pooping and peeing. Doesn't mean it's taboo. Might just not be useful information to track, unless you're trying to have children or to check how your sex life was affected after already having children.
Let me flip this around, I am looking for ways to improve testing, specially now that I am mostly remote. In your experience, what targets have a stress-free experience with qemu emulation?
I think you're looking for another example!

Walking in the world barefoot is a natural and normal thing. We should all probably be doing more of it, not shaming people for it.

The issue is mostly one of public health that has materially adverse affects on others.

Maybe it would be like driving on the highway without snowtires in the winter: it's reckless and you're going to hurt people. I think if most of us saw that happening (it happens) it kind of makes you mad to see how irresponsible it is.

Also the commentor above wrote about 'voting' concerning masks - it's not such a simple issue.

Democracy is not a 'Tyranny of the Majority'. It's why we have Constitutions etc.. Requiring people to do stuff in the normal course of their day is a pretty big step, we have to be mindful of regulating normative behaviours. It's easy to let rights slide away, we should have a bit better of a process for these kinds of things, and maybe tuck in a couple of laws after this is over for that purpose because the Courts don't have a lot to work with on a lot of these things.
The counter argument here is something like Lucene, which is written in Java but has been heavily optimized over the years using many of the same kinds of tricks the Git people used to optimize Git. There are frequent attempts to replicate parts of what Lucene does in different languages; usually under the assumption that it will be faster and better because of magical properties people associate with things like native compilation or the supposed manual memory management skills of the programmers doing the work.

Most of these efforts are relatively niche compared to Lucene because they never quite catch up in terms of features, scale, etc. and because the programmers involved are messing around on the fringes of the problem space instead of coming up with algorithmic breakthroughs, which at this point is the quickest way to make things faster. Well, that and cutting some major corners and pretending it's all the same by running some silly benchmark.

The fallacy here is confusing language, idioms, memory models, frameworks, etc. and assuming it's all set in stone. It isn't. Just because you are using Java does not mean everything has to be garbage collected, for example. Lucene actually uses memory mapped files, byte buffers, etc. for a lot of things. So, it does not actually need to do a lot of garbage collecting. It uses the same kinds of solutions you'd pick when using C. And they perform ballpark as you'd expect them too meaning that unless you improve the algorithms, you are not going to be magically a lot faster. The same is true of hotspot, the JVM's runtime compiler, which is written in C and, surprise, uses a lot of the same kind of trickery used by the fine people working on e.g. LLVM. So, a lot of things people assume must surely be slower just aren't and a lot of the insurmountable bottlenecks that people assume must surely be there always actually have well known ways of being worked around.

Of course there is always room for more optimization. Lucene is well over two decades old now and they still regularly come up with major performance improvements. There's nothing magical about how they do that; just a lot of hard work that goes into it that would be somewhat challenging to improve on just by switching language and compilers.
I don't get the worry about it being hackable. Sure, you could engineer the whole thing with crypto in mind from top to bottom. With trustzone on the chip and safetynet on the phons but what's that gonna achieve? The test is not done in a controlled enviroment anyways. People looking to cheat the system could simply get their friends to do their "hackproof" tests.
Well:

> Anywho, that’s Apple for you. Why am I still an iOS developer? I dunno, I got bills to pay.

People will chase the money. Even with the onerous review process and 30% cut, there's still a good amount of money to be made on the App Store.

This is the standard collective action problem: if a significant chunk of iOS app developers just said "that's enough, we're not working on this anymore" (and if legions of other developers didn't surge in to replace them), then you better believe things would change. But no one wants to stick out, and most software developers seem to think they're too good for a union.
It's a trade off, I think. A compiled static language forces you to behave a certain way at the expense of flexibility/expressiveness, script languages are more flexible, but in a way that is easier to acquire technical debt that might be harder to move away from (IMO).
I like Shikantaza, although I can't claim to actually do it daily. It translates to "just sitting" and is a form of meditation consisting of, well, just that. It is mostly based on a single text telling you how to sit and how to balance not-falling-asleep and not-actively-thinking. That's all. There is no extensive literature translated to death and no startup trying to sell you something, but yet you are right there with the core weirdness of meditation and paradoxes like thinking non-thinking. Love it.
On a language level, high level APIs will necessarily contain details to things like (mut) reference, Box whatever. Which is not a problem at all, given the problem domain, but in my opinion it is not possible to make a both low and high level language at the same time (and it is not really needed either)

Sort of a nitpick, but: "Distros" don't really exist. Someone chose standard component A, standard component B, standard component C, and put them all on a CD-ROM and called it "Ubuntu". Someone else took A, B, and D, and called it "Debian". Fedora uses A, D, and Q. Distros that use almost the same components and are hard to tell apart (Kubuntu vs KDE Neon).

(So the real question might be "Is the proliferation of standard Linux components harming the Linux ecosystem?")

> IMO, it'd be better if these sparse efforts would get focused on _one_ solid, no-frets, no-hassle, Linux OS that ordinary people could trust to be stable and reliable for years to come

I don't think it's possible to make one Linux version that appeals to everyone. "no-frets, no-hassle" comes with tradeoffs. So does "solid".

But even if you did try to make a beginner-friendly Linux distro, you wouldn't have the support of the majority of the community, because most Linux users are perfectly happy with an existing distro. Even people who try to convert their parents and grandparents to Linux, seem perfectly fine to throw them into Ubuntu and call it a day.
The Atlantic has some really good articles and times and then there are articles like these that are just puffery and misdirection claiming that we're all in late stage capitalism circling down the toilet of western civilization.
I don't rent cars very often, but it's always been a pleasant experience.

I have National Emerald Club for free via my Amex card. Any time I need a car, I just click rent from the app on the cheapest car. Walk into the rental lot straight to the Emerald Aisle, pick any car I want (self-selecting my upgrade, I've gotten lucky with convertibles, SUVs, etc.), and drive it off. No talking to anyone. I simply show my license to the guard at the exit gate who records my check-out, and we're done.

I've never experienced anything close to the horror stories mentioned by anyone here.
It would create a lot of awkward interactions for any of their ex's who see the data after it's published, or their family.

Easier to avoid it at least in the public copy. Though I'd argue even tracking it personally might cause issues if your new SO saw it and started to compare to past partners. Best to just leave it out entirely.
Oh I connect to a VMS-system for work daily until new year (then we're getting replaced and I'm off to find something more modern, I guess)! VMS is a delight. So much more pleasant for the user than the IBM-boxes, but I do have very specific VAX-based systems in mind! Though, the example is a mish mash of that and what I've seen lately from customers running AS/400s.

But in both cases it's "awesome cool new user interfaces" made some time in the past to try to make the terminals easier to use for staff at sales locations.

Very hyped about OpenVMS 9, but will probably migrate myself over to being a more generic developer =)

> basic stuff like email rules

I mean gmail has the most limited frustrating filtering (lack thereof) rules of any email system I've used. Any self-hosted solution will be infinitely better.

> Gmail special like labels

How is that special?

Also, gmail spam filtering is not very good. You know how every business has that "check your spam folder" bit? Because gmail is so terrible about it. It is easy to do much better with a self-hosted solution, put an end to the false positives of gmail.

Seems that you like gmail, but in my experience it's one of the worst mainstream email implementations ever. Doing better is a trivial bar.
Sounds like it.

Last I paid was 1.75 euro in DM (Germany). I remember buying them at 0.99 in LIDL.
>Personally I always get kind of nervous around buying things on PSN

My PlayStation account was blocked for online games/chat for 2 months with no clear reason, this also wasted 2 months of PS Plus subscription sice I could not really benefit from it. They did not offer any way to dispute this or clarify what exactly was wrong to avoid it.

My son was using the console to play Fortnite, he told me that some guy blackmailed him to give him gifts or he will submit fake reports, I have no idea who checks this reports and if they have competent people that understand our native language or is all just some shit AI and some dude somewhere just confirming that the AI was wight.

This incident completely changed my sentiments on Sony consoles and on top their greedy pricing and for sure I will avoid them in future.
Yeah but all airlines overbook and they're pretty good at it, but sometimes there aren't enough seats, but it's certainly no a Southwest only thing. I've always done just fine with them.
You can't just say "blockchain" and magically solve it.
> I hate labels.

Serioulys! gmail labels are a very poor mis-implementation of folders that just make a mess of sorting email.
Anywhere there are humans involved, there are bound to be multiple interpretations of the same words. This becomes a problem when you put humans in positions where if they do their job well, there is no upside, but screwing up has a large downside. Most Apple Reviewers work keeping that in mind. Some are strict, others are not, and the chances are when you are matched with a random reviewer, your app would always be reviewed differently. This has downsides, but this reduces bias and malice (and keeps just incompetency in the process) and this is a better system than one where you are stuck with one reviewer throughout. (imagine being assigned the most anal reviewer possible)

Regarding the 30% cut and the review process, of course it does not make me happy as a developer. As a user though, I can give an iphone to my parents knowing full well that they would not be scammed or be enticed into downloading really shady apps. This has happened on android where they would just give away every permission, and had lock screen controlled by a totally useless app. I would not risk giving them free access to android again, no matter how much time it takes for them to get used to iPhone.

Review process is important in that regard, and if a bunch of devs like me need to pay to fund that, I am happy with that given what it results in on the consumer side. The 30% tax needs to be for infinitely reproducible digital goods - like items in fortnite where a new purchase in db entry - vs scare digital goods like an one time only online session by someone. The other alternative means it's contingent on me as a dev to build trust to get payments and this is where I would always lose out to big brands anyway. Wish there was a better way, but have no suggestions as to how.
In my opinion, everything nerf related gets a lot of opinion because it's highly graphical and thus easy to present. But there's few practical applications and it tends to be super slow and not work for more challenging scenes where traditional 20-year old methods like global penalty block matching still work reasonably.

And for this paper in particular, I fail to see how they improve over other nerf approaches with deformation terms like Nerfies or D-Nerf
My argument here is that people have needs that are more than things that are "the absolute minimum necessary for you to not die" in order to live a decent human life with dignity, but that don't extend as far as "a second kitchen". That isn't hard to understand.

Everyone posting to say "but if you accept that needs are more than air and water then you must be saying a home-based cannery is essential for the human condition!" are just being idiots.
...or what people think they want...
same reason there is a market for similar "high tech" pregnancy tests: people will pay more for something they feel is higher value, and price itself is an indicator of higher value.

If Steam did this I would've been deleted many times over. I buy a lot of those icons, don't have time to play, but hope that I one day will when I retire.
Based on my experience running mail servers for a long time and today, I'd say OP is right.

gmail spam filtering is terrible. On my various gmail accounts, I both get spam and the good email goes to the spam folder. And there's nothing you can do, you can mark it not-spam a thousand times and it's still a crapshoot.

I don't have any of those problems with my self-hosted email.

> Up until now learning to replicate the input exactly was called overfitting and considered a bug, not a feature, but they showed a completely new way to wield neural nets.

Well, for that particular ting there was a predecessor of sort in Deep Image Priors from 2017.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.10925

That was all about overfitting a neural net on a single image, which they used to get impressive inpainting, noise removal and superresolution results without any training at all (though of course it did not beat state of the art training-based approaches, even then.)

I had a lot of fun playing around with it when it came. The idea is dead simple, within reach to implement yourself with no complex mathematical understanding.
