Rust has the option of using a different linker for each target platform.

But of course, your linker must support it. I don't know where to get a linker for Linux ARM in macOS. On Debian it's apt install.
>Can you give examples, because from my limited view all Canada has in terms of renewables is hyrdo.

For example, https://www.canadiansolar.com/ Windmills and solar farms are everywhere.

That I suppose is another huge problem in canada, we have a severe lack of grid scale energy storage. Be it pumped hydro or whatever.

In fact, one of the big problems in our grid is how many greenhouses have switched to led and sodium lighting. TONS more energy is being consumed. Also a huge problem for astronomers.

>All of our automotive industry is owned by foreign manufacturers and relationships with Detroit are strained [1]. Plants have been shut down [2]. Canada has only just started to adopt EV, Europe is way ahead [3]. I will concede that both Europe and Canada aim to phase out IC engines by 2035.

That would be somewhat old news. Most of those plants have either plans to reopen or have reopened. Not to mentioned several new plants being built in ontario.

No doubt many places in Europe are way ahead and not to mention the USA is kicking our butt as well.

>In my opinion the stupid investment in that pipeline the government bought from the Americans after they backed out was a huge mis-step. That money could have been spent investing in solar.

Hindsight 20/20. Unless I can borrow your Tardis, I can't go change it.
The west has area areas when it comes to the U.N. Charter, but Putin has gone way over the line to exactly why the U.N. founded to prevent. The west will stick to the multilateral system until nukes drop, and will sooner close the Russian oil and gas spigot entirely than abandon it.

Cutting off 50% of the flow by my reading translates into around $150 per barrel oil which is in the realm of $7/gallon gas at the pump. Europeans pay on average $7-8/gallon for a long time. Cutting it off entirely? Someone else will have a better idea if that could be in the range of $10/gallon or $20. Of course it will cause problems. Folks might decide in a couple years they like cheap gas more, and then end up in another world war with even higher prices anyway just because they have no imagination about what a completely stupid move this was from a geopolitical perspective.

This paragraph should really be right in the beginning of the post, instead of in the conclusion.
I'd rather it remained independent, but if it was a choice between Apple and Epic I'd pick Apple. Of course, Apple would never buy them because they have iTunes. Since you raised the comparison, what do you think Epic is going to do? How do you think being dragged into Epic's war against Apple is going to impact Bandcamp as a service? It clearly isn't being bought so that it just continues as is (despite the promises). It's going to be used as a weapon, which means it's going to have to change. That change is likely to increase costs. Ultimately the day will come were "We are sorry that Bandcamp doesn't meet our customers' needs" [it no longer meets our needs of making enough money, because of all the shit we added] "And so we are adding new features to improve your experience" [ads, tracking, selling your data, subscriptions, increased price].

This cites but doesn't link "The Mysterious Case of the Missing Russian Air Force", which is a much more thorough treatment:
https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentar...

They list three possible explanations:

* Too few precision-guided munitions (PGMs)

* Risk of friendly fire from surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) due to poor coordination

* Lack of experienced Russian pilots
Yeah, I was under the impression pre-Ukraine that Russia was an "nth generation" fighter supplier, and therefore should have air superiority almost by default.

I was corrected that nobody seems to buy Russia's offerings, and those that were made are basically for show and not in mass production.

I also realized that air superiority, as in expensive jets attacking from distance and altitude, might not matter if the enemy has cheap effective drones.

If the drone loss rate and replacement is cheaper than the flight hours cost of the ultraexpensive fighter jet, and if they can throw 100 drones at a battlefield and the best you can do is shoot down 10 of them with your ultraexpensive fighter jets... uhoh. Even if you "own" the skies, you don't have ground-air superiority.

Yes you can bomb static targets with impunity, but your ground forces are essentially unsupported, and if the enemy is infantry with portable missiles and drones with missiles... uhoh.
Java Swing still lets you make native-looking-and-feeling apps (with some care). I don't know of any new GUI frameworks that let you do the same. I consider this a killer-feature of the framework. It's also very fast, backed by OpenGL and DirectX. It also ships with source code and isn't declarative, so it's trivial to step into as a means to debug why your code isn't working.
I've often suspected that the F-35 was so expensive only a handful could be built, and would not be risked in combat because it was too expensive to replace.
When I was young my family lived in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County. Our neighbor's drunkard brother lived in an unserviced RV on their back lot. He sang at the top of his lungs at 3am and shat in an open-air toilet and often leered at my sister over the fence. So this is the scenario such laws are trying to prohibit, basically controlling for bad neighbors and hygiene and having more people on a lot than it's zoned for. Argue against NIMBY laws all you want (and I see the point—the alternative for that guy was homelessness and dying in the street), but our situation was representative of why those laws exist.

I agree with you re the exceptions. Doesn't seem hard to pass a law allowing temporary RV living during a rebuild.
Well, the problem is that it's not simple to recompile. There's a number of different build systems. Dev libraries you might not have installed, and that might no longer exist. Warnings that turned into errors in your version of the compiler, and all sorts of other nastiness.

I dread every time I need to install a (older) package from source. I think around a quarter of the time it turns into a multiple hour adventure of frustration, only to discover the library it was missing is called $NAME-dev on my distro...
This is such an interesting question for people that lived during the Cold War. I guess you get used to the nuclear Damocles sword. Some people built nuclear bunkers, others moved to safer areas, others hoped to catch the nuclear flash in time to run into the basement, and others just continued with their life. After years of this, most people fell into the latter category.

I guess if WW3 starts it will be the same. It is unlikely to scale directly to nukes, and I don't think Putin has enough control of its military to start a worldwide nuclear war.
Is the long tail you're talking about more in 2D rendering itself, or in accommodating the great diversity of the humans using the UI, e.g. accessibility and internationalization?
Why prefer a third-party article rather than the original announcement? Presumably for neutrality? My gut instinct is to prefer the original announcement because it seems more of a primary source. How do you weight primariness vs neutrality?

I respect your long experience moderating HN, so asking mostly with the intent enrich my own intuition. Not a rhetorical question.
Ahh...very cool, thx. Didn't realize it was that capable and was not aware of this "demo". I will check it out as I need to write a GUI soon (and would prefer to use Rust).
Good luck finding video on YouTube favorable to any Russian viewpoints. “The media” is cultivated to display or at least promote the main narrative of the US policymakers.
> The rest of the article explains why they won't release opensource even though they love it. It is not disingenuous.

No it doesn't. This is like someone saying, I love poor people and helping them but I love capitalism more because then I can charge those poor people in order for them to get help. Might as well just say what they really love which is money.
Well..President Xi has himself openly declared that re-unification of Taiwan - along with all ancient Chinese domains will happen within his term of governance. And no (sane) leader declares more than one planned invasion at a time. So plans for annexation of India's eastern provinces are on hold presently.

Right now China is at the ending stages of modernising its military forces - a process that started a decade and half ago. Once Xi successfully passes his traditional term limits with no hiccups and consolidates his firm control on the CCP over all objectors, you can bet on a Chinese annexation of Taiwan in 2023-25 period. (assuming no economic disasters or another Covid variant)

Japan & South Korea are pretty impossible to annex without extreme mass casualties, especially with the extraordinarily heavy US military curtain and the eye-boggling dense build-up of weapon systems in place.

Yes. Nobody should have to make a SPA to accomplish what JQuery did with sprinklings of JavaScript. JQuery was maligned because many people used it to make all XHR requests all over the place resulting in non-deterministic async behavior. JQuery was made to make adding small bits of JS easy and work in almost all browsers.

Bringing in React and turning that non-deterministic events firing all over the place greatly improved that situation, but this has become if someone needs JS, bring in SPA framework. This is in spite of the browser world getting much better. So just as JQuery was used to make SPAs to bad effect, SPA frameworks have been used to do minimal JS actions in a bad way.

This would make Russian submarines active combatants and put the entire Russian sub fleet at risk.

I think the Russian military hierarchy would put up a strong argument against doing this.
Any stats to back this up?
Rust links glibc dynamically, and can use musl for some platforms. By default most (all?) of the musl targets are linked statically, but they should be able to use dynamic linking for it as well.
You can enable these options for this:

> I don't see why an official would publicly broadcast active wartime capabilities and tactics that might not be known.

That explains the anonymous officials not agreeing with this stance. That doesn't explain the non-government experts not agreeing that this is the reason though. They don't have any special knowledge and wouldn't be telling the Russians anything they didn't already know.

> And, there's a strong possibility that we're experiencing some psyops here, to make the Russians appear incompetent

There's probably a degree of this, but from what I've seen it also seems to be legitimately the case that they are somewhat incompetent.

Besides which, the Russian's letting that psyop succeed, would itself be direct evidence of incompetence.
Yes, see USPS bulk mail.
Dont get me wrong, I am not happy at all about this silicon valley „winner takes it all“ mindset.
Let me explain how i see things. Bandcamp is for djs and indepenent music lovers. Although djing has managed to evaded streaming so far, it is almost inevitable to come. I am sure the folks at bandcamp were very clear about that and were looking to find a way to deal with the situation.
It follows that those that are porting the GNU coreutils to Rust will become the best programmers in the world.
Since I left EFF, I haven't followed the ECH mechanism's progress (also, I know this keeps getting renamed, so maybe it's called something else again now).

How is that doing? What's the status of the ability to connect to a CDN without revealing to the network which CDN customer you're talking to?

Is there still a new DNS RR for communicating ECH public keys along with IP addresses?
Not good in my book. I've been a huge fan and proponent of the platform since 2017 and have made over 600 purchases since. Mostly digital but also plenty of shirts, patches, an even physicals of select albums. My only gripe was the somewhat wanting android client which has just been fixed up (playlists and queuing).

I like it because its a simple and focused hub for artists and fans. The social interaction of the site fells like a perfect balance of presence and connection without any noise. You can see who purchased an album and leave an album review but unable to directly message users. User profiles are simply their collection and a 400 character bio that can contain links. Another plus is the simple web design they employ gives access to the mp3 if you scrape the album page. As a plan 9 user without a modern browser this made it easy to play the music by writing a script that scraped the album page for the mp3 links and fed those into play(1) creating a simple bandcamp player.

Epic will bring nothing good to the service.
It's not "madness." It depends on how much the servers cost, and how many users you have (or could have with a 10% improvement in UX).

SSR by default, and then if you want, client side hydration and navigation so subsequent page loads happen in the client. However, the size difference between an HTML response and a JSON response is negligible, and HTML responses don't have to wait for Javascript to download, parse, execute, kick off off a request over the internet, get the data back, execute the result, and update the DOM. Browsers have literally decades of optimization to show HTML to users as fast as possible, and doing this in Javascript is fundamentally slower.
This is a kind of Catch 22 situation with how to deliver those MIG-29s:

If a Polish pilot flies it to Ukraine, Russia will consider that an act of war, and possibly start bombarding Poland. If Ukrainian pilot comes to Poland and takes off from a Polish airport then again: that is an act of war.

The only possibility to deliver them without joining the war against Russia seems to be to disassemble those MIGs and send them by train/truck.
I still think Epic will allow download and ownership of FLAC files. They are quite open to ownership of content, I believe what they are trying to build is a stronger moat around their "app store". Longer term I think they will be looking to force Apple/Google to allow 3rd party app stores onto their platforms and in doing so need content.

This is a play to get content and direct relationships with producers, I don't think they will change the business model.

I have seen this too but I doubt it means that they do not have control of spy satellites anymore. Spy satellites are not normally under the control of a space agency, but some branch of the armed forces that can operate relatively insulated from the internet.
(obligatory I don't know what I am talking about, but) Russia has heavy artillery with crazy range. If they know you have air defenses they will just use artillery shelling instead that bypasses your defense, instead of giving you bombers or landing paratroopers as targets. I think that's how most missiles have been sent to Ukrainian cities so far. I don't think deterrence was a credible option for Ukraine before.
I love how the unconventional name lets me know which people think that names are what matters.
I think it's like this.

Russia eventually wants to bombard Kiev with heavy weapons like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9A52-4_Tornado

which can use ammunition at an absolutely insane rate. It takes time to move this stuff into place and more time to take the ammunition in, set up resupply paths, etc.

So Russia attacks Kiev with a small force with light weapons, some Spetsnaz, mostly to keep the fight away from the main body of the force which will strike hard when it is ready.
From what I've seen the vast majority of that just produces lots of copies of tutorial projects repeated over and over again, as that's far easier than actually coming up with a new project that's of use to other people, or getting involved, learning the process, and becoming a contributor on an existing one.

I've seen that advice everywhere, but _never_ actually seen someone become an ongoing OSS contributor as a result. I'm sure it happens, but I question how often and how much of an impact it actually is.
It seems to me the fatalism comes from the game-theory side of it; when your enemy has no ideals except beating you, his diabolical tactics really undermine morale.
MANPADs are only effective at very low altitudes (AGL), fundamentally due to the inability to put much propulsion on a rocket intended to be carried by hand. Su-27s, Su-34s, and Su-35s should fly significantly higher than this altitude during strike and interdiction missions, but doing so exposes them to radar-guided SAM systems like the aforementioned Buk (SA-11 / SA-17) or S-300 (SA-10 / SA-12 / SA-20).
Unfortunately that masks the scarier scenario of a failing state with thousands of nuclear weapons.
the companies are asking, and contractors are answering.

It is the contractors business to accept the contract, not the companies. IMO increasing the responsibility of a business to use contractors will add more roots to current large companies and increase the burden of small businesses to exist.

I agree this situation is terrible, and that the contracting system is being abused by large companies, but we need to try to solve this without changing the nature of what a contract agreement is.

>Thinking about sending a contractor to negotiate with a terrorist should scare the pants off of companies.

the spirit of a contract is that the companies do not have an obligation to think about the contractor at all, and vice-versa. The entire relationship is defined by an agreement not to breach the contract, and that's it. Do we really need to burden every contract with cynicism just because it is a point of contact with shitty people doing shitty things?

For example, if I hire a contractor to redo my kitchen I am shifting responsibility to someone else to do something, and then I write up a contract for all the arbitrary things that need decisions like design choices, acceptable colors, etc. They are accepting the responsibility for operations. If they use illegal operations, that is on them and I hope they face consequences for that. I am just some guy who wants a nice kitchen, I cant be expected to audit the guy i am hiring to know what to do on the things he is supposed to know better than me. The only thing I accept responsibility for is whether or not I like the outcome of him fulfilling the contract.

The real problem is that companies are getting away with using "contractors" who in actuality operate like employees and are not really in a position to accept responsibility for their entire scope of work. That's a shitty thing we should be dealing with. because if a companies EMPLOYEES get kidnapped by ISIS while doing work assigned to them by their employer.. that is a very different situation

ArtStation also falls outside the core videogame industry and would seem to be similar to Bandcamp, insofar as its a two way marketplace connecting artists with fans.
