My favorite opening line in a book is from Peace by Gene Wolfe:

> The elm tree planted by Eleanor Bold, the judge’s daughter, fell last night.

It's very plain. The kind of sentence your eye just passes over while looking for something more obviously relevant. But the book itself is a mystery hidden in plain sight, and this mystery is both declared and resolved in the very first line of the book. That level of subtle, elegant engineering is what's so impressive about Wolfe, and what makes this book in particular so rewarding.
What is so wrong with FFI? I've been using that since decades without anything to complain about. It's simple, to the point, and allows you to have your library used by 99% of existing language, not just rust and c++.
I use a clear plastic cup, so I can make sure all the spider's legs are out of harm's way before I slide the postcard underneath.
Except that humanity desperately needs a better understanding of probabilities and non-linear relationships. We don't use more than division because we haven't succeeded teaching more, not because nobody needs it.

"I can't find $SOFTWARE in $PACKAGE_MANAGER now I have to compile it from source and my life sucks" has happened with me way more times with Alpine than Debian.
lwn.net uses the term 'kernel' to refer to the Linux kernel. It's useful to add 'Linux' to the title for the benefit of HN readers.
But it would be neat for testing out ideas in games with perfect information.

I know next to nothing about game theory, but aren’t games with perfect information what would generally be considered “fair”?
Thanks for the advice. I'll really take the first point to heart. I do think I've been waiting for my job to give me more challenging problems, but that's too much of a sedentary approach. One commenter mentioned opensource projects, and I think that's great advice. I'll try and pursue that. Thanks for the advice :)
In case others are curious, dtolnay has written a huge number of proc macros that are widely used in the Rust ecosystem; in addition to cxx, he's the author of `serde` (library that supports serialization/deserialization in Rust), `thiserror` and `anyhow` (two of the most commonly used error handling libraries now that the fervor of new error handling libraries has died down), and even several utilities for writing new proc macros like `paste` (a way to concatenate identifiers for generating names of things in macro generation), `watt` (an engine for running proc macros sandboxed in WASM instead of directly in the rust compiler), and `proc-macro2` (an alternate API for creating proc macros that's used almost exclusively instead of directly using the standard library).

He's like the Greek god of proc macros. I don't know if he was involved at all in their creation, but he's by far the most prolific proc macro author, and he seems to have an innate understanding of how to use them that goes far beyond what I imagine anyone really considered when they were created. Rust would still be the same language without his work, but it wouldn't feel at all like it, and there's a strong case to be made that Rust would not be anywhere close to as successful as it is today with him.
A slave escaping their master was once illegal.

It’s worth noting the value of reparations in this case - some people suffered the consequences of having a marijuana conviction on their record (oftentimes a certain type of people, disproportionately). Sometimes, the law is unjust, unnecessary, and a huge waste of time and money, and it’s ok for us to recognize that and repair it.

This isn’t a reward, this is compensation.
Well they're fine with all the violent racist threats I still see of all sorts of right wing / libertarian nonsense so I'm not sure that every stopped
Thank you sdoering! Your feedbacks gave me some important insights for the landing page. I will see what I can do to make things better :)
Interesting, which conditions would those be? My intuition is prolonged periods of high inflation?
Idiomatically, "shelved ideas". Shelving can be more abstract, but generally it's not idiomatic for abstract-concepts to be "on a shelf".

Language aside, I think you're being inconsistent with that concept: there are better solutions for compensating artists than NFT's already, so it's inconsistent to say that you want active-solutions as a justification for working on an less-active-solution.
Do you think Russian aircraft will suddenly stop working because of a bunch of words written in a document in a computer at an organization that kicked them out? Legalese doesn't make the laws of physics stop working. Strongly worded letters don't deflect missiles. What you're asking for is a path to nuclear war because Russia isn't going to abide by any UN rule, especially if they've been kicked out. And if NATO, using UN legalese as an excuse, enters the fray, there's only one out come: nuclear war. All of these paper pushing, keyboard mashing fantasies where Russia cowers from a bunch of lawyers lead to one place and one place only: nuclear war. Just stop it before you and your legalese addicted compatriots get several billion people killed with your fantasies.

Stephen Kotkin (briefly referenced in the article) is a history professor at Princeton University and known as the leading Stalin scholar. He's written amazing books and has long interviews on the subject on youtube. One thing that stood out from his talks/books is that he proposes that Stalin was no a psychopathic killer (unlike many other biographers/scholars) but a person who genuinely and deeply believed in communism and was willing to sacrifice anything and everything for it. He also describes Stalin as a super hard-working and pretty smart person.

Disclaimer: Kotkin is absolutely NOT a fan of Stalin, just trying to be thorough and impartial.
Unfortunately also seems US based, and at this point I'm not ready to put any long term trust in US based companies remaining unbiased.
Subscriptions for streaming, for news or data feeds and for software are three different things. Streaming is basically giving me access to whatever music I want from their catalog whenever I want. I know what I will be getting and I'll get it when I want it.

For news of for software it's more like paying a subscription and I have no idea if they will keep on giving me reliable useful news and improving their software or not. It used to be that I payed for the software if I liked it, and when they make a new release they have to get me to pay for it again if I want the bug fixes or new features. With news it used to be that I could just stop buying or reading whenever I wanted and I didn't have to navigate anti-patterns to save my money.

As a consumer I'm happy paying for streaming services but I feel I'm being held captive by software that makes me pay for a subscription. I'm constantly looking for an alternative to the latter and when I find it I cancel immediately.
The degree to witch the Personality of the Leader is reflect in the country can be quite absurd.

In any Gulag you would find amazing musicians, dancers and so on. But not singer, Stalin liked them to much. The cultural landscape of a country altered by the simple preference of one men.

We don't have everything, people like Ygoda seem to have gone threw the document and removed things that would negatively reflect on him.
The whole IntoIterator for arrays issue was that there was existing code using IntoIterator of the slice deref, which was incompatible with an array IntoIterator impl that would take precedence. A compiler hack was introduced to hide the array implementation on older editions. Requiring `.iter()` to get a reference iterator install of just doing it automatically would have avoided the need for a hack.
I was mainly referring to the EUs ban on RT. I think the law forces the ISPs to comply, not the engines. that way it prevents direct access via the URL.

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/03/08/eu-officials-d...

RT is not banned in the US as far as I know, although it appears engines are banning some content of their own free will.
Buses in suburban Sweden aren't really that bad. In fact I've been experimenting with using buses in San Diego more and more and the main drawbacks are (1) low volume of buses and (2) buses sitting in traffic in rush hour. The first can be solved by putting more buses on the road and the second can be solved by giving buses priority in traffic. Even with these shortcomings, buses in San Diego seem much worse in many people's imagination than they truly are.

I'm not saying that my beliefs here are right, but I would recommend you consider the possibility that yours are wrong.

> There are several proven strategies to monetise your content (and Substack isn't one of them).

Surely Substack is no less proven than any other content monetization strategy for individual authors. Most people simply can't make a living from writing, regardless of their monetization strategy. And at a minimum, Substack at least has proof points [1] that their platform has been working for someone.

An iconic opening line indeed!

Doubly interesting because no-one, not even Gibson himself, can tell what visual imagery he was thinking of with that description. I always thought it was "gray snow/static", but TVs didn't always show that (they certainly don't today, as you pointed out). Depending on the era, dead channels alternated between black, static snow, blue, etc; when Gibson was talking dead channels it wasn't static snow.

Gibson has contradicted himself on different interviews about this. See replies and discussion for this question: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/163304/770
Compiling is CPU-bound and doesn't really bottleneck on anything that libc is involved with other than the allocator, so unless musl's allocator is comically slower than glib's, chances are it's just -Os.
So it's not only security through obscurity, it's very weak obscurity.
Trump was always going to be the leading candidate. He could have won a second term if not for his fumbling over COVID and his meltdown over secret commies stealing his votes. No one was ever going to vote for Biden twice, the left only hates him less than they hate Trump and half the country never stopped drinking the Trump Kool-Aid. You can't beat a man who has a cult and started a revolution with... whatever the hell Biden has going for him. Once again the Democrats will probably snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Interestingly, this is a site I saw (more than once) promoted by HN users on threads that discussed investing as an individual. It gave off immediately sketchy vibes as a Malkiel-acolyte, I tend to be skeptical of individuals who claim to generate long run alpha in general - let alone someone willing to sell this magic sauce. Based off the settlement, it sounds like unfortunately a large number of people were taken and for likely not insignificant funds. I hope this is where the buck just gets going, rather than where it ends.
Use Twilight app on your Pixel. Note that thankfully you can also give it Assistive permissions so that it can redden the whole screen (otherwise it won't have permission to redden things like the status bar and notifications pulldown).
Perfect time to ask, I've been toying with using the netflix concurrency limits library for a while as opposed to the manual tuning of threadpools, queue depths, etc to achieve good utilization at certain latency. Curious if others have experience with it, and their thoughts:

FWIW envoy also has an adaptive concurrency experimental plugin that seems similar that I'd also love to hear about any real world experience with:

You say that but there's other reasons to use linux (on the desktop!), and serverless itself is an old concept in which I never used to care which flavour of unix/linux my host was running my php or cgi scripts on.
Technically, Artificial Neural Networks are what people mean when they say Neural Network, right? Biological Neural Network probably ought to be the default meaning of Neural Network, given the implicit homage to biological neurons.

I always wondered why people stopped referring to ANN and just went with neural network. Perhaps some anti-science bias or something like that.
Aren't go apps statically linked? You could theoretically build it and put the binary on a "FROM scratch" docker and run it.

I mean, what I'm trying to say is that the base image doesn't matter, it would be basically just a debugging environment for you to exec into.
Not sure about how much historically accurate the movie is (my guess is not very much) but is one of the best comedies out there, specially if you like history. I also read the original comic book source material.

>It could have easily been a tower nearer transit, if it wasn't for NIBMYism.

i don't think it's really fair to blame the NIMBYs for that one. a sprawling, campus surrounded by a big buffer to keep it separate from the community is clearly what Apple wanted, not just what the city of Cupertino wanted. If they wanted to build something with more density and transit links that was integrated into the community, they could have.
I share your opinion overall especially the rails part

but let's not assume the intentions of the OP here. It's perfectly okay for someone to try and implement collections API using generics in go just to see if they could
> (and rarely actual military imperialism)

What? It's entirely military imperialism. It's what everything else built upon.

> The west is generally successful at spreading it's values because people want to adopt those values.

No. It's because we forcefeed foreign populations with propaganda.

> The same is not true of more autocratic systems.

Yes, the autocrats are more honest about it. We do it in a very insidious and sneaky way.

You are just repeating the "white man's burden" propaganda. The white man needs to christianize and civilize the world. Now, it's the white man needs to spread "western values". I guess african, muslim, chinese, indian, etc values don't matter. Africans, asians, native americans, aborigines, etc didn't want to adopt christianity. It was forced upon them. Just like "western values" will be forced upon them in due time unless the world free itself from western domination.

I agree with you that imperialism isn't a solely a western tradition. The arabs, persians, chinese, indians, etc all have dabbled in it. I'm against all of it. If it was arabs, chinese, persians, indians, etc doing what you are advocating, you'd call it genocide. But somehow you twist "genocide" as something these people want done to them by us.
I’m a big fan of his Culture series. I love reading and rereading those books.
They shouldn't be using monthly price marketing and language when they don't actually offer a monthly plan. It's intentionally misleading, and I cannot find any other SaaS or tool that uses this kind of misleading marketing or pricing mechanics.
Thank you RugnirViking. Honest feedbacks, different perspectives, and even critics are what we need to get closer to the truth and accuracy. You actually helped me a lot! I will fix the grammar issues asap, at least the "Choose Avator" part, haha :)

Thank you for your time!
Depends what exactly you mean by "false flag operation". But South Ossetia seemed to follow much the same playbook as Ukraine.
ubac framed the question in a hostile way which is probably why he was ignored.

What you're describing sounds like a cash advance/guarantee which Hamish mentioned about 'de-risking' offers.

If you have good data that a writer could make X money, but they're afraid to leave their day job - it's easy to just say to them "we'll pay you your day job salary to de-risk this jump for you" if you know they'll make way more than that. You can even offer more.

That's not a 'secret benefit' to prevent them from leaving - it's a smart economic move to help people anxious about perceived risk.
If you mean what I think you mean, those are one of the few exceptions. I assume you mean just implementing the feature/bugfix quickly because it helps with the design discussion. Even in that case, I think it's a good idea to have a final non-draft PR (or just have people look at it again with fresh eyes once out of the draft stage) where the main goal is just to verify correctness.

"Stalin was but a lamb compared to Lenin"
Yep. Real glad I bought my home before all of this pandemic/inflation craziness. Its estimated value is now up 33% from where it was four years ago. If I had waited until now to buy it would have been more difficult, as even though I've switched jobs and I'm making more money now I probably wouldn't have increased my savings enough for what I'd need for a downpayment and would have to dip into my investments to pay for it.
Simple question: what’s the tech stack, driving the App?

I see that you have an Android app, coming soon, so this makes me think that you are using some form of hybrid tech (as opposed to native).

You stated that the west, in scare quotations, was only weaponizing commerce because of the exceptional circumstance being that the target was engaged in an invasion of a country. Contradicting the assertion of the parent comment that the imperial core countries will weaponize everything that they have against countries that don't align with their interests.

I brought up an example of three countries that have been similarly condemned and were not invading anybody.

Regarding The Iran comment. Why are you even thinking about a far-away country needing to be "opposed"? This is a very weird world police mindset to me. Do you think NATO shouldn't be opposed?

America spent 2 trillion on it's own military budget in Afghanistan. Half of which were interest payments. The US didn't spend trillions to sponsor Afghanistan's infrastructure.

The US occupied that country for 20 years and destroyed not only it's infrastructure but the fabric of that society as well as the mental well-being of several generations of Afganis. The toll is incalculable. How you spun 20 years to be evidence of benevolence, I'll never know. So I assume Russia occupying civilized Ukraine for the next two decades, despite violent, traumatic and desperate resistance will also be seen as benevolence?
Fiat Ritmo was the product of one of the first platforms. For example, Lancia Delta was developed on the same FIAT platform, albeit with some changes.
Airtags are based off of Apple's existing BLE Find My network, so it might not necessarily have to be an airtag. Off the top of my head, I know that airpods had a similar functionality enabled a while back.
CBDCs will be a tool of all totalitarian, predatory governments. That I'm sure of. They will also be popular with people after a fair socialist utopia with top down economic incentives. I'm skeptical it can lead anywhere good
First of all, I have been reading a lot of publications on Substack, thank you. I have been using your app for a few days, and have a few feature requests:

1. Can you please support signing in to multiple accounts? Ideally, you would merge the subscriptions together into one view, but even if not, easy account switching is good enough.

2. Can you gray out the read posts? The "inbox" doesn't distinguish between read and unread, archiving is the only option. But sometimes I might want to refer back, and don't want to archive it yet. (EDIT: I just found the orange dot, but it's not very visible)

3. When you know that I have read the post via email (from the tracking pixels), can you show them as read in the app?

Ultimately isn’t “disinformation” control exactly the problem? There are abundant examples of disinformation just being information that was 24-96 hours ahead of the news cycle (sometimes 6-9 months).

DDG has now decided that they are editors because their perspective is “correct”, but on what authority?
Rent is not the entire housing bucket (only 35% of Americans don’t own a home) and it’s also not uniform. If you have a house with a fixed mortgage, your housing cost has increased by probably about the increase in property tax due to assessed value rise. What you’re probably looking for is a local cost of living index rather than nationwide CPI.

Allowing calls for violence against "those who deserve it" is little different from allowing calls for violence against anyone. Be careful about what you wish for.
Ah gotcha. And yes you’re correct on that, Alfa’s re-entry into the US market has been such a mess, if I had to guess their only buyers are enthusiasts who know the brand and appreciate the tech or people who want something that isn’t BMW/Audi/Merc but still has some visual appeal. I hope they survive as one of the few remaining enthusiast brands, would be a shame for them to follow in FIATs footsteps.

Yeah, the app is great - I loved the email newsletters and read them in my client, but filtering quickly becomes a hassle.

Being able to open the app to read when I want to will be much nicer.
FYI, not being able to be charged is not the same as not owing them money.

Most sites will just automatically cancel your subscription if your card fails without an explicit cancel. But the real slimebag ones will keep it going and sell the debt to a collection agency.
Your comment makes it seem like you mostly do work with new parts sourced cleverly, rather than my experience growing up. We had a 96 (?) 9000 with 397,000 miles when someone rear ended it to death, and we always went to saab graveyards for parts.

So do you mostly avoid the graveyards?
Except for Fox News, which breathlessly covered every new possible chemical weapons facility that the US captured, mainstream media pretty quickly concluded that there was no extant chemical weapons program in Iraq after the US entered. Russian media is still pretending that Ukraine is the aggressor, and there is no war.
