Strongly disagree. User friendly doesn't mean "short", it means "accessible for newcomers" in this context. And the rust book very much is that: it starts out extremely basic/simple and builds from there. Anecdotally and for many others it's been the best way to develop a solid understanding of the language.

Rust is somewhat "shortcut resistant" for new learners: you can pick it up by just starting coding after reading a few blog-post-length tutorials and backfilling understanding, the way many people do with other languages, but this typically takes much longer and incurs more frustration with Rust than, say, Python. That's because Rust takes longer to understand than most languages (I say this as someone who enjoys the language and expects it to become quite widely used, not as a criticism). Hence the book: it's long, but quite friendly. It's just not what you'd expect if you compare it to other learn-a-language-in-x-hours experiences.
Ah, so your convinced because there’s global warming you have to reduce the amount of material goods your child has.

Do you think any person in China would do the same (they already pollute at 2x the rate of the US)?

How about me? I’ll be teaching my child possessions mean wealth. Yes you should take care of them and yes you should ensure a sustainable environment. But you should maximize wealth, as well as maximizing knowledge, culture and spirituality.

In my case, wouldn’t that give my child an advantage to take your resources?

I’m not trying to be rude or mean, just how do you intend to compete with that? Because in that case, my lineage will take your resources.
I would not… 10 years ago I left the big city I used to live in (and where I was born: Milan, Italy) to move to the French Riviera! I have nice house less than a 100m from the beach, sea view… and in France we work 35h a week with 35 days of vacation a year! It was great already before telework… now it is simply amazing!

Ask HN: I met a “two papers per month” guy at last. Legit?
As a borderline scientist turned applied engineer, I have also wondered how many papers a skilled and devoted scientist could get published when taking that endeavor at heart. Of course, I’m talking neither small team superstars nor big labs and consortia. And then, here he came: one guy asked me for advice while preparing to submit a paper in my primary field to a well-respected journal. Nothing transcendental, still… this guy has being putting out one hundred and twenty accepted contributions in the last five years, in a number of diverse fields, and some with a seemingly legit number of citations. My question to you HNers comes as follows: is this a new scam? Is this a new job, sort of paper factories? Are these results legit or artificial? I know counterfeiting is all over the publishing industry, these days. I am going to decline his advice request, yet could we discuss what’s happening there, if anything? Thanks and happy 2022 all!

OK I got too inspired :-) Here is my check-list to find a perfect freelance designer.

(Portfolio: Branding)

- is everything consistent? Are design decisions (colors, fonts, stroke widths, tone of voice, etc) applied consistently throughout all visual elements you see?

- is there a touch of humor? Do you nod / smile looking at the branding? (Not required but always a good sign).

- are there descriptions in the portolio (not just pictures)? Are they clear? Did they mention what client's problem they solved and how? I believe clear writing is as important for a designer as visual skills.

(Portfolio: Interfaces)

- do interfaces look usable? Are they presented not as a standalone screenshots, but as a coherent system / flow? The designs may look pretty but be awful at interaction.

- how close the screenshots are to real life? No Lorem Ipsum?

(First contact, setting expectations).

- is the designer good at self managing? Ask something like: "We need this and that, how would you work on this project?". Together with time and cost estimate, ask for the expected workflow. If their response includes things like "define responsibilities; interview stakeholders; assemble and discuss moodboard" - definitely a good sign.

- do they have a template agreement? Does not matter if they don't, but if they do - a good sign.

- do they care of how the results of their work are used? In case of interfaces, how do they go about handing off the work to developers? In case of marketing, do they actively ask about marketing needs and make sure the provided materials are convenient to work with?

- do they respond quickly? Is the tone friendly? Is the communication clear? There are many great designers out there. The challenge is to find one that delivers reliably and does not make you struggle along the way.

(Small test project)

- did they meet the estimated deadline?

- was the quality of design good enough?

- was the communication clear and timely?

That's directly from the live stream… there will be a video version on media.ccc.de in the future, sometimes that is better.

But it seems that one speaker's mic has some issues, I doubt anyone will clean that up.
I did and I regret it deeply. I was working remotely even pre-covid times and I decided to leave London (where housing was becoming a nightmare) to move to Sweden. I have never been this deeply lonely in my entire life. I love the nature, I love the winter, even the darkness, but socially this was a very bad move. Working remotely when you live close to a big city where you are very fluent in the language is not even close to being the same as working remotely when you live in a foreign country alone and far away from everyone.
I moved to the Netherlands from the states recently using DAFT. Sold the car/furniture, shipped the personal items. My wife and I haven't missed our car at all because the city (Amsterdam) has good transit and we live in a very walkable part of town. I work later in the day to overlap a few hours with my team which means I don't have to worry about waking up at 7-8am to make standup. I'm still learning what it's like to live here but so far it's a great improvement in many ways over Scottsdale. We feel like this might be the place we start our family.
Agree with the first part of the comment, but at the end, when you say:

>> "what might help society is if [...] we paid people to learn valuable skills"

We actually have plenty of very qualified people, both with academic titles and without them, but many of them are still doing jobs that don't "make society better". The problem is that we used tech to cut the time and labor required to do most things, but we haven't freed that time for people, we only keep distributing the benefits of those "improvements" unevenly.

And the real problem is that even if you were to redistribute them evenly, when there's low pressure, abundance of resources and an environment that provides more than what you are consuming, any species will start having more offspring, until the pressure increases and you are in trouble again (kinda like a malthusian trap). We could only escape that limit if we were able to create unlimited space habitats or our population growth rates were slower than the time it took us to find and travel to new planets. Some might argue that the systems will self-regulate, but self-regulation only happens in high pressure states, and that means that a lot of people is suffering under them.

The fact is that we don't need much, and we already have it. The problem to solve is not to become better or faster or more efficient at producing and creating more. The problem to solve is to collectively find a compromise on how much we want to have and design mechanisms to keep us in that sustainable lane. Not sure that's possible, but it's the only approach to "help society" that I really believe in.
The fact that this uses Mongo as a backend makes it a total nonstarter for me.

I don't like the "pro democrcay" thing... Isn't it more like "pro occidental/western" countries versus "pro chinese/urss/oriental" countries ?

When used that way, democracy sounds like an absolutely good thing which it is not; it's just a way to organize power...
Yeah I agree. And a few users who were compromised confirmed not having uBlock. So yeah. False trail.

I've also worked with actuaries and my impression has been different. Some of them have some skills, but it's very hit-and-miss, and it's not clear to me that the average actuary would compete with the average Master's in Data Science / Stats / CS in terms of effectiveness as a data scientist.

Their big weakness is computational/programming skills. Many of them are simply unable to function outside of Excel.

The SOA is trying to remedy this with new exams (of course) but my impression is that it's too little too late.
You could use arbitrary precision rational numbers.

Many languages support these in their standard libraries. (Eg Python does.)

They are a bit slow compared to ints or floats, but good for precision.

> Everyone deserves an e-mail address that cannot be taken away from them without a court order.

Not even a court order, arguably. Internet access and it's essential services like email, is arguably a human right in developed countries. Almost impossible to find employment without it.
Direct military action isn't the only recourse. It would be a pretty dangerous course of action.

There are a lot of Chinese investments in the UK that could be seized, as well as information warfare, travel restrictions, trade restrictions and Cold War style proxy wars.

Also things like giving HK BBO holders a route to British citizenship, which has high levels of support across the political spectrum and could probably be expanded further.
The year is 2300. The iPhone 279 is released, which is better than the iPhone 278. It's also smaller, and both the 278 and 279 are perfectly recyclable. Even more importantly, the apps available for both have improved over the past year.

Voila, continuing exponential growth.

We can't have exponential population growth, but infinite exponential economic growth? Dollars are just numbers in a computer. Increased economic growth can mean better resource usage rather than more resource usage.

The human species hasn't changed, the stuff they're familiar with has changed.

And I think you underestimate the younger generations, I'm under 35 and could trivially identify a carb or fuse.

Furthermore, I would be unsurprised if my 5 year old could also identify those inscrutable things, he 'helped' me get the snowblower ready for the season and winterize the power washer a month ago, and watched/helped while asking endless questions as I replaced the water heater last weekend. It sits adjacent to the furnace, which has a discrete Edison fuse; I don't recall if that was part of the litany but it probably was.
That's exactly what I meant: clicking on what appeared to be "example.com" directed me to "http://example.com", but maybe those links had explicit "http://" in them indeed, I'm not sure now.
Ok. So to ask the original question again: are there any transferable hard skills in MBAs?

Agreed that it's quite common. Also, at least 2 users who were compromised (or at least, received the email from LastPass) have confirmed not using it. So it's a wrong trail.
It's a nice thought but it doesn't have any bearing on reality. No other market in the world works that way. A company wants to charge as much as it possibly can. A person in need of a service wants to pay a company as little as possible. There's sometimes a range where those two values overlap and that person can become a customer. It's all about perceived (not actual) value, which is heavily influenced by marketing and sales.

If you can't tie your actions directly to cost savings or revenue increases you're just blowing smoke up your manager's ass about value created anyway. It's all hand-wavey negotiation and negotiation is almost entirely based around leverage.

> And since robocall spam is illegal, i get ~1 call every 4-5 months at most, to sell me a different internet or electricity or mobile plan, and they're obligated to respect my refusal to be contacted thereafter ( and all do).

You are just lucky with your number. We get an average of 10 calls a day. Yes, in France. Stuff like Bloctel do not work, it isn't respected. I don't even know if fake caller numbers are now finally disallowed, it doesn't look so; anyway they were allowed for a long time.

Each time the government grants subsidies for whatever, it is immediately diverted by an enormous amount of companies which deal with the grey areas of the laws (laws concerning that subsidies and laws concerning solicitations), and if you have a residential number, you get spammed with commercial robot calls all the time (and then there are the 'empty' robot calls, too).
One thing I would point out is that when calculating r, the equation r=k*G mod N is somewhat misleading. G is not a number, but rather an (X,Y) point on an elliptic curve. There is a way to "add" two points on an elliptic curve but it is a group operation which is very unlike normal addition. "Multiplication" still exists between a scalar and a point but refers to a number of point self-additions.

So really R=k*G generates a new point R, where k is the nonce and G is a point that is part of the ECDSA standard. Then r is taken as the x-coordinate of R.

It is easy to derive k in b=k*a mod N if you know a and b, but nearly impossible to derive k in B=k*A if B is k self additions of A on an elliptic curve.
For open source software, it’s a simple recompile. Most OSS compiles are 64-bit these days, where time_t has always been 64-bit. In the case of compiling a new 32-bit application, -D_TIME_BITS=64 apparently needs to be a compile time flag.

For binary software, Windows has had a Y2038 compliant proprietary API since Windows NT in the 1990s; most Windows applications use this API so Y2038 is generally not an issue.

The issue only affects a subset of 32-bit binary-only applications where we don’t have the source code any more. Hopefully, any and all applications like that will be decommissioned within the next couple of years.

Because if sequoia is good enough from a security standpoint with standards and implementation and ux experience, people and organizations will switch from gpg to sequoia, for example perhaps at debian.

and if organizations/projects like debian switch, developers will switch, and developers are multipliers and users will switch at one point as well.
A device made in 2021 could assume that the current time is at least 2021. Barring the invention of time travel and (a lot more risky) bugs assuming that NTP time stamps can be ordered by comparing them as 64-bit unsigned integers, that would make it OK for up to 2157 or so.

Working with that, conceptually, isn’t difficult. You can use any dateline as the epoch by subtracting the chosen epoch’s NTP timestamp from the one you received with wraparound.

Making a dateline library use that epoch for formatting dates and times isn’t hard, either, but could be a lot of work.
There are two completely different “past” links on the page, hence the confusion. One shows previous days, other previous posts.
"In the last seven years, my wife and I have experienced four home break-ins, one car break-in, multiple other thefts, broken up a purse snatching, been chased and lunged at by mentally ill people a few times a year. It literally happened on Bart the day I wrote the first draft of this post. Pre-pandemic, my wife used to call me every day to have someone on the phone, when walking the 5 minutes home from Bart each night. There is a large encampment two blocks from our house. Multiple times, homessless folks have slept or showered in our driveway.

I only reported one break-in incident, because… what’s the point?"

Is there an expat community you could mingle with?
I'm currently single, live in the SF Bay Area, and my only roommate is my dog. Given that, I'd be a fool to not at least consider moving somewhere else. So, yes, I did consider it.

But, my dog loves that I live within 5 miles of at least 5 different dog parks, and that's a real factor. I also have an extra bedroom I use as an office, so, I'm all set up to WFH here in my rent controlled apartment, even if I don't move anywhere. In another 3 years, I expect my rent will be significantly below market. For now, I've decided that my life is here, and I like it that way.

That might change when my lease is up in February. However, I'm also currently on the job market, so, there will be the additional factor of "is my employer going to pay me less if I move, and, if so, how much?" I also have a hobby that's somewhat difficult to practice in a less populated locale, so, it's not going to be strictly a case of "run the numbers, look at the bottom line, and pick the place with the bigger number." I'm going to have to do a serious quality of life analysis in a couple of months.
During the Yugoslavian war there was a stand-off between the Russians and some American troops around the Pristina airfield.

"The following morning, Sunday 13 June, Clark arrived at Jackson's HQ in Skopje. It was pointed out to Clark that the Russians were isolated and could not be reinforced by air and that Russian support had been a vital part of getting a peace agreement; antagonising them would only be counterproductive. Clark refused to accept this and continued to order that the runway be blocked, claiming to be supported by the NATO Secretary-General.[2] Jackson refused to enforce Clark's orders, reportedly telling him "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you."[5] When again directly ordered to block the runway, Jackson suggested that British tanks and armoured cars would be more suitable, in the knowledge that this would almost certainly be vetoed by the British government. Clark agreed."

What you are suggesting here is that the British would start World War III of their own accord and that Nato would follow them if they did so.

Not a chance.
It is an interesting question on how to deprogram the pro-communist party populous. All the brainwashed types I’ve ever spoken to believe the most insane things despite otherwise being intelligent people. E.g. Covid was made by the US to frame China. They also seem to conflate criticism of the CCP with Chinese people in general. I suspect many of the people behind the troll pro-China accounts commenting here are doing this (or they’re just paid). (Guys, CCP is anti-Chinese people. If you love China, don’t support this oppressive regime because one day they’ll come for you and your family.) How do we overdone this?
Right, this is the neoliberal slogan, “the market will sort the problems out”, we vote by choosing who we do business with, and so on.

The problem is, this often doesn't happen. The employee being paid too little (or working too long, or being otherwise treated poorly) might not know they are being coerced into this bad position, might not know how much their employer is hiding from them, may not want to go through the considerable effort of interviewing for another job, may not have the financial stability to put their family through that period of job hunting, or may just be of a non-contrarian disposition and enjoy having their stability in the current job.

There are a million reasons an employee would not respond to a blatant injustice by precisely identifying it and demanding it be righted or otherwise quitting. If you do do this, I truly think that is fantastic and I commend you. The ones who stay in these jobs, however, are being badly treated, at the employer's benefit. I don't think that's right, and I don't think they can be fully blamed, because a lot of these problems come from how adept the employer is at manipulating the situation. If you say “no, we don't want to fix that”, I'm sorry to say I can't agree with you.
Yes.

They call it "rootless". It runs inside your home directory.
Or simply that the community "classified" children by their mothers, which is the obvious approach: as the Romans later stated, pater semper incertus est, "the father is always in doubt". That doesn't involve any power attribution.
