two strokes are brush cutters, tend to be. They are no push mowers, though... and electric ones are absolutely no replacement due to sheer lack of power (or battery life).

@grand parent - Mowing ditch/stream slopes with anything but petrol brushcutter is just next to impossible. Saying that as owning - a battery strimmer, a 4-stroke petrol push mower, a battery robot mower and 2-smoke brush cutter. I have tried using even a battery powered hedge trimmer. In other words - not everything is a nice flat rectangle short grass cover.
Are there any that work like robot vacuums? I mean NO funny cables around a garden that show robot a no go zone? I want robot to build a map of garden just like Roborocks.
If it was an either-or situation, odds are, you would be better off holding the cruise line responsible for failing to secure the boat and its passengers.

Even if you could sue the murderer, you wouldn't get as much money, and civil suits in the US don't send people to jail.
Since the blog author is the primary developer of rust-analyzer, he must know about it. I think he might still have usability concerns about macros in rust IDEs.

I have been relying on cargo expand for macro debugging, let me check what utilities rust-analyzer has for this use case. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: wow, it works exactly as you advertised, thanks a bunch again for sharing, such a nice productivity boost!
Folks suggest quitting social media all the time, to the point it became part of a meme (quit Facebook join a gym etc).
They're saying the lines they're paid to say the same as an oil exec is paid for theirs. There is a significant amount of profit being made in higher education, yet look at your statements right there - they're looking for people whom are willing to slave themselves.

It's discriminatory and a massive waste of resources. We have to do away with these institutions to build something that actually meets the needs of today. But given government is involved i doubt it ever will.

Yes, for the marketed use case of "put these on the cars in your lot for theft prevention", you obviously want them to be invisible.

But Honda already has telematics in these cars in the infotainment system, and it would be trivial to add anti-theft to the existing system. It all just feels a bit.. fishy.

I know some people get upset when unsafe is used when there's a "safe" alternative, but unsafe isn't too bad in test code, is it?

The concerns of undefined behavior, data races, use-after-free, etc. seem a lot less consequential in test code.

This is such a classic "Tragedy of the Commons" situation. Nobody owns the water, so everyone grabs as much as they can, whether they need it or not.

(Compare with the shortage of cows and chickens. What shortage, you say? Exactly. It is managed by the owners of the cows and chickens so there's a ready supply.)

Government regulation is a lousy solution, as it will allocate the resource based on politics, not practicality, efficiency, or common sense. You see this as well in California - regulating showers with ineffectual results.

One way would be to allocate X gallons per year total can be pumped, and then auction off those gallon rights.

I don't think you realize just how big the sea is and how good it is at containing radiation. Heck, we're even figuring out how to mine uranium from seawater, because it's already in there.
I suspect if you threw away all preconceived notions of local mobility and started with maximizing {effectiveness/efficiency/carbon/infrastructure costs/real estate/ healthcare/economic benefit/commute times/ opportunity costs} rather than an individual car you would end up with rapid on demand transit (think publicly funded ride-share minivans, light rail, bus rapid transit, autonomous golf carts, e-bikes and biking infrastructure) for moving people by default. Beyond that, you'd also see 15 minute neighborhoods where essentials are all walkable, and remote work for many commuters. Networked local mobility, denser mixed use planning, and hybrid work all do better at some of the same jobs that cars do today.

Electric cars seem more about saving the car industry ecosystem, under the guise of saving the planet.

I recognize a valid counterpoint is that because we already have car infrastructure* BEVs are a drop-in replacement culturally and physically where transit, urban planning, and remote work all require more systemic change and have long timelines and NIMBYism. Electric vehicles also make sense in most fleet situations (delivery, school buses, trucking). The backwards-compatability argument makes sense in the short term, but misses the sort of step change needed to recalibrate western lifestyles to become both resilient and sustainable.

In the end, while BEVs are better than gasoline cars, and they may provide a stepping stone, the real investments must go well beyond the default individual car ownership model--to considering designing the best local mobility experience as a network and services rather than a thing parked in your drive.

This is where user experience and service design can make a profound climate impact, in creating better, more desirable mobility experiences as alternatives to car ownership.

Acronyms:
BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle = electric car
NIMBYism - Not In My Backyard-ism. The tendency of property owners to push against urban densification, rapid transit, and similar efforts in their neighborhoods.
So what the Indian education system lacks is making students learn how to approach a novel problem or subject on their own. From an early age it's all about getttthe right answer through the prescribed route. There is very little room given for exploration. For example in my 10th grade I was instructed to only solve a math problem in one way since another cause if I tried deriving my own method the person correcting it wouldn't understand and I would be penalized for it. This just disincentives students to only learn a bunch of tricks. In the end thinking from first principles is something they don't learn. Of course it can be corrected later but it's usually only when they are in college. Of course I'm speaking from my own experience and things have generally improved now
As a totally blind Home Hub user who finds Chrome Vox completely unsuitable for the platform, I'm saddened (though not surprised) that a Fuchsia screen reader never could see the light of day.
It sounds like an honest conversation. I agree with you on the first point. The Indian education system is quite good to enable kids to focus on getting a job. It's a bit too focussed on how to get good grades, which ultimately results in a rat race. Not saying that competition is bad but I never enjoyed or actually learned anything even after completing 16 years of education there include a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering.

I haven't studied anything in Australian unis yet. I might do that in future. But I've seen some of my friend's kids studying in public schools here and am envious. I wish my school days were like that. Schools here are not focussed on exams at all, rather they encourage students to explain things that they're learning to other students. They've presentations on the concepts they learn, do practical tasks, do a variety of creative crafts and last but not the least encouraged to do sports and music as well. Now, can I blame my country of birth India for it? Of course not. India was quite poor economically and my schools barely had doors and windows, let alone desks. BWT, this was back in 1999. Teachers barely cared and most of them were abusive and beat the shit out of us. I can only wish that I had better opportunities but I can't go back in time. My MIT programme is quite hard as the home work assignments force me to think. They're never tediously long to work out. Based on the feedback I've gotten from my colleagues, Australian unis are a mixed bag. It all depends on the programme you choose. Some unis have very good engineering programmes, whereas some are more research focussed. But most of them have very good infrastructure.

Lastly, I agree with on the last point. I've been in the industry since 16 years and have met my fair share of incompetent people. To be honest I've been incompetent at some skills at every job I've worked at.

But when I talked about those incompetent people, I was talking about people who weren't even willing to learn and sometimes even pulled rank to threaten their subordinates into making poor decisions. Nobody here claimed that the Australian system or any other system for that matter is without sin! Every system has flaws and as long as we're willing to accept that, there is still scope for improvement.
Yep, AV vendors and various certifications and the security consultancy industry have created a "something must be done, this is somethign, thereferore it must be done" situation profiting from security problems that feeds on orgs that have fallen into the pattern of uncritically doing what everyone else is doing in the industry.

Hydro is great. Most of our hydro resources have already been tapped.

Nuclear has produced a lot of electricity and avoided a lot of emissions. We should keep our existing nuclear fleets. But new nuclear is prohibitively expensive. (Our 1960s-70s nuclear fleet was super expensive too, the system was just set up in such a way that people building power plants didn't mind it being expensive.)

Meanwhile solar got real cheap real fast in the past decade, and wind has had a pretty good run of getting bigger and taller and cheaper too.

I think that wind and solar and batteries are the obvious path forward from where we are today, being the fastest and most economical route to decarbonize. Had the Build Back Better plan passed, I think the US would have been on-track to be about 65% wind+solar by 2035.
https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-futures-study

That said, decarbonizing with wind and solar alone becomes exponentially more difficult as you try to hit 100%. But 75%? Totally doable. 95%? Might be feasible.
That's not true. Harvard and similar colleges actively discriminate against 4-H participants, ROTC and similar red-state activities.

> But what Espenshade and Radford found in regard to what they call “career-oriented activities” was truly shocking even to this hardened veteran of the campus ideological and cultural wars. Participation in such Red State activities as high school ROTC, 4-H clubs, or the Future Farmers of America was found to reduce very substantially a student’s chances of gaining admission to the competitive private colleges in the NSCE database on an all-other-things-considered basis. The admissions disadvantage was greatest for those in leadership positions in these activities or those winning honors and awards. “Being an officer or winning awards” for such career-oriented activities as junior ROTC, 4-H, or Future Farmers of America, say Espenshade and Radford, “has a significantly negative association with admission outcomes at highly selective institutions.” Excelling in these activities “is associated with 60 or 65 percent lower odds of admission.”

My goodness there is a wealth of literature specifically available from the link I posted. Counterposing ideas is a basic tenet or philosophy. The tension between them is a fundamental underpinning of the complexity of living in society. It’s a whole world of ideas to explore if you want to. Grab a book if you’re curious.
Remember that there is a bias as this has been written by people knowing how to write. So it might not have captured the funniest jokes. P.s.: People who start a joke and don't finish it are the worst

> Some of the least interesting students are "box checkers" who have a bunch of disconnected extra-curriculars that don't show passion, direction, or a proclivity towards success. If a student defines "success" as "getting into college," then what will they do once they get there? Probably flounder.

This comment really rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry these "box checkers" worked too hard to follow the rules of the game as described to them by their teachers? Your assertion that they "probably flounder" is completely devoid of any evidence, and just reflect your own idiotic biases. People who think like you were the ones giving Asian kids systematically lower "personality scores," dismissing them as "grinds" without a shred of evidence.
I personally don’t have a problem with posting in public, but I can imagine that for many people it would remind them of being singled out in a school class.

Shame on UPenn.
If I make a claim or state an opinion outside of my normal expertise, I try to back it up with supporting links. Perhaps to similar cases or situations or scholarly articles.

I tend to remain fairly skeptical of claims by users whose names I don't recognise, if they don't provide them.

None of the linked comments did so.
I was on a group call with a bunch of friends a couple nights ago. My Indian friend was telling me that they have very little spam SMSs and robocalls.

They speculated that it is because in India the person making the call or sending the text is the one who pays for it. So spamming is expensive.

Also, apparently spoofing numbers is unheard of in many countries, the US seems to have it particularly bad.

If anyone here is familiar with the technicalities of how this stuff works, what are your thoughts on the hypothesis?
I think an element people miss is that to make more than negligible amounts of money from this stuff, you generally need to invest large amounts or or make the trades many time, or both. ... and this generates a pretty strong signal.

ArXiv has this wonderful property: It works. It‘s simple. Everybody understands it. It is steady. People build tools around it (e.g. arxiv-sanity.com, Google scholar…) which make it even more useful. It has spin-offs like biorxiv that are catered to those communities. It is like a piece of infrastructure. Who cares aboud doi’s when the arxiv URL is already the standard? Yes it has its disadvantages, but none of them seems to justify to me to turn it upside down. Rather one could just add things, slowly, just like they‘re doing it.
You mean that if I started my own company then I would be “fucking” other companies, since we have a distinction between companies and people.
1) Bachelor’s level by 15-16.
2) Doctorate or equivalent by 20-21.
3) Decent communication and social skills. This is a significant flameout point.
4) Creativity and absolute refusal to work on directed projects by others, except voluntarily for some higher good.
5) Tremendous persistence.
6) Cheerfulness, related to 3) above, increases the degree of genius-ness.

What have I left out?
About 6 months ago here in Australia I had a run of getting spam called by a number which was the same as my number but off by 1 digit. Seemed like a clever method to peak peoples interest but made it pretty obvious to me it was spam.
This doesn't change that Metformin is an extremely useful drug. Even people without the official indication take it because it reduces propensity for weight gain and cancer.

Maybe don't take it before trying to get pregnant. Also maybe this needs to get confirmed in larger studies and in other countries.

As I understand it, they did have a sizeable impact on the end of slavery:

From what I remember:
They banned slavery in the UK, and later on in all colonies and territories, and applied diplomatic pressure on other nations to also do so.
They would inspect the cargoes of other nations for slaves, and this led to several threats of war from the USA and other countries.
Also, they would enter Brazilian and other nations ports and seize/destroy property of slavers, and free slaves, etc etc. It would be like the USA doing it today. People would be pissed, but there's no way they're declaring war on the world superpower.

The wiki article is quite interesting:
The Royal Navy established the West Africa Squadron purely to end the atlantic slave trade. It consisted of a sixth of the entire RN Fleet at the height of its operation. This whole thing operated for about 50 years.

It was considered the most costly international moral action in modern history.
From https://webassembly.org/docs/security/

> Data stored in linear memory can overwrite adjacent objects, since bounds checking is performed at linear memory region granularity and is not context-sensitive

> Nevertheless, other classes of bugs are not obviated by the semantics of WebAssembly. Although attackers cannot perform direct code injection attacks, it is possible to hijack the control flow of a module using code reuse attacks against indirect calls. However, conventional return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks using short sequences of instructions (“gadgets”) are not possible in WebAssembly, because control-flow integrity ensures that call targets are valid functions declared at load time. Likewise, race conditions, such as time of check to time of use (TOCTOU) vulnerabilities, are possible in WebAssembly, since no execution or scheduling guarantees are provided beyond in-order execution and post-MVP atomic memory primitives :unicorn:. Similarly, side channel attacks can occur, such as timing attacks against modules. In the future, additional protections may be provided by runtimes or the toolchain, such as code diversification or memory randomization (similar to address space layout randomization (ASLR)), or bounded pointers (“fat” pointers).

> In WebAssembly, the execution semantics implicitly guarantee the safety of (1) through usage of explicit function section indexes, and (3) through a protected call stack. Additionally, the type signature of indirect function calls is already checked at runtime, effectively implementing coarse-grained type-based control-flow integrity for (2). All of this is achieved without explicit runtime instrumentation in the module. However, as discussed previously, this protection does not prevent code reuse attacks with function-level granularity against indirect calls.
Could you elaborate on these points you made?

> The solution is to defund universities and stop this elitist nonsense. We are a better society without their control and political agendas.

As someone currently doing a PhD, I definitely agree that there is some elitism in academia, and that school administration usually sucks. However, I also love the work I do, which I couldn't really do anywhere else, and the community of students and faculty, which is pretty unique.

What makes you condemn the institution as a whole?

As someone who enjoyed the liberal arts education portion of their education, it seems like we don't have the same way of defining "value." Could you describe how you measure if something has value?
From the user perspective, Chrome Vox on Home Hub feels... bolted on. It uses the assistant TTS, probably over the network, so lag is extreme (a thing you don't want in your primary interface to a device), and random portions of the UI don't reliably read.

Regional isn't true. National depends on the sport and instrument. International they'd care about even as a bit if it's big enough to get covered in national newspapers. Harvard can afford to be extremely highly selective.
This is very apt coming from Mike Solana.

I quite like him but he blocked me for some reason. I'm a literal nobody with 5 followers.

I never flame and I discuss in good faith. My guess is he's too trigger happy with blocking. I'm sure it works well for him, but blocking people strongly enforces your own echo chamber.

This makes you weaker to critiques, which is an incredibly valuable form of feedback.
Can someone "eli5" why this possibility of spoofing even exists and is allowed ? What are the legitimate use cases of this feature ?

EDIT : thank you all for your answers !

I suppose it’s the same thing that allows you to receive messages from "SOME BRAND" and … why not. But this could be easily regulated. I don’t understand why anyone can spoof anything they want. Also, I don’t understand why my iPhone don’t allow me to block messages from "SOME BRAND" as if it was from any other sender.
I found that Inferno was the best choice to try acme out, especially since that provides a much more consistent cross platform experience.
