I think that Putin will use a tactical nuke if he believes that the West doesn't have the resolve to respond in kind and will back down instead. The best defense is demonstrating that resolve and unity so Putin believes that using a nuke will result in a proportionate response. The biggest risk is showing weakness, a lack of unity, and/or a belief that Putin wouldn't actually do it.

In short, he will do it if he thinks he can get away with it, so we need to be extremely clear that he will not get away with it, and prepared to follow through if the worst happens.

I would argue that SpaceX is private due to its susceptibility to share price crashes. It is an event driven firm. Balance sheets matter, but a SpaceX share price would be just as influenced by a rocket blowing up on live TV (if not more)
Why would someone use this rather than just doing a clean install and running O&O ShutUp?!
How on earth is that animal abuse subreddit not banned? Those animals deserve a better life, not diabetes for the sake of memes.
In the long run, it's trying to avoid the adverse selection death spiral where the price keeps rising to match the costs, and squeezing more people out of the pool.
I'm in favour of cyclists occupying a lane, especially on narrow roads to take full control and I do that myself often. What I dislike is when they have their own lane and then ride 2 or 3 abreast so they don't fit and stray a foot or two into the car lane as well. It's the worst of both worlds. Even worse when they drift into the car lane without looking back to overtake other cyclists, which seems to happen regularly around here.

Anyone who had even a cursory glance at Trump's history, particularly his legal history, already knew he was a lying sack of shit.
That's about what I was expecting. I was expecting Cloudflare pages to be pretty basic. It's just a feature owned by a team compared to Netlify's entire business.

Maybe I'll just get enable the Cloudflare proxy for my Netlify sites.
A change I find interesting in this release is the addition of `Deref`/`DerefMut` derives[0]. It addresses a very real pain point in bevy, due to `#[derive(Component)]`'s interaction with the orphan rules requiring newtypes[^1].

But it's potentially not idiomatic within the Rust language, at least at the moment (as mentioned in the OP). However, I think that the tide is likely to turn on that; for example, in the api-guidelines repo, there's a PR[2] to remove this advice. This appears to have stalled, although that appears to be not for reasons of it being controversial, just lack of reviews; the discussion had broad support.

We have discussed (in Discord[3]) a kind of 'internal' `Deref`, which would use lenses to do automatic unwrapping for queries. See #4413 [4] for an example of what this would look like. I'm not sure how necessary that is if we can just use `Deref[Mut]`, but it's definitely another angle we could go down long-term.

[^1]: This newtype requirement isn't a negative for bevy, since it makes it much easier to avoid interoperability headaches between different crates.

I have never encountered such a company in software or hardware engineering across multiple countries.

I didn’t like the skiing or whatever bit in the article, but coffee machines, etc are pretty universal
Can't tell if this is satire. What a world
Hi Cart, have you considered giving a presentation or writing an article about how you successfully manage the project? I remember when you first publicly released bevy and the onslaught of support you received. I'd be curious how you were able to successfully manage that as it's clear you've done that well as Bevy continues to grow at an incredible pace.
How would your previous employer even know what you are working on in your new company? It's not like you are going to report back to them.
How might one use sponge in a way that shell redirection wouldn’t be more fully-featured? The best I can currently think of is that it’s less cumbersome to wrap (for things like sudo.)
As I pointed out, it may well be within the rules.

Yes, cyclists should be courteous. But they also deserve to be safe, and sometimes that safety requires occupying a full lane so aggro drivers don't pass them going too fast and too close. The truth is that a lot of drivers only respect other people in cars, so sometimes cyclists have to hold space like cars if they want to be safe.
Just to confirm, v0.2.1 is the fast version.
Same here. No idea what the hell this thread is about. I've never thought there were too few stop signs or too many. They have never been a problem in my life. To me this is like having a strong opinion on the thickness of a street curb or something. Weird thread.

Some of us have windows just to play games, sometimes on our tv’s with a controller but that’s impossible when you have garbage popping up constantly. There’s definitely a demand for windows that can play games and do nothing else.
Copilot is used for hard real time systems.

Now, Copilot is probably more specialized than even kernel dev, but AFAICT there's not really any hard barrier there. "Just" a question of effort.
Wikipedia was awesome some time before 2015/2016.

Look up anything even mildly controversial, e.g Gender, Marxism, Capitalism, Globalism, Election Laws, Freedom of Speech, Racism, and then compare 10 years ago to today, using archive.org or by looking at edit history. It feels like a parallel universe, as if history was totally re-written.
I prefer the old nLite approach of instead letting the user supply their own ISO to patch.
A funny story related to ECC: I was hanging out with a friend of mine about 10 years ago, and I was asking him what he was researching (he is a math professor in Colorado). He told me he was researching Ecliptic curves and their properties. So I said, "oh you must be really interested in elliptic curve cryptography then!" and he said, "what's that?".

He was so deeply into math theory that he hadn't even looked at or cared about the practical applications of his work.

Another reason for converting pointers to integers without ever doing the reverse operation is to hash them.
Easy to say, but I doubt most people would actually let that appreciation affect hiring decisions.

A potential hire might also open up about their casual drug use. Would that be points in their favor vs. the other candidate who might very well also take drugs but chooses to not advertise this irrelevant detail to potential employers?
The only way to use Windows 10 truly securely is by running it in a QEMU virtual machine as a guest with local-only networking for QEMU native Samba file sharing between host and guest. Zero internet connectivity. Booted off what QEMU calls a temporary snapshot after setting everything up on the base QCOW2 image. This way any changes to the virtual drive after boot are trashed after shutdown. This solution is robust and reliable.
Political commentary here on HN is a contentious issue, but I am personally for it so long as it's approached in a way that invites discussion and intellectually stimulating debate.

This is not that.

There's no need to consider "both sides" (as if there is only two) as equally in the wrong; I certainly don't. But you need to at least demonstrate some ability to pass and Ideological Turing Test[1] or there's not even a point in engaging with you.

Care to elaborate? I was implying it should apply to other crime as well. In my perfect world, prison sentences would be a lot less common. Fairness is a fundamental compnent of justice. If there is a victim then the aggressor needs to be harmed in a similar way. Theft? Something if equal value should be taken from you. I also agree with "lashing" and damaging a persons body for certain crimes like rape for example (chemical or otherwise castration in addition to some torment).

Fines are a joke, a slap in the face of justice. The affect the poor only even when proportional to income. 25% of a poor person's wealth has much more impact than 25% of a billionaire's wealth or a corporation's profits.

While I believe in mercy strongly (especially when the victim supports it), justice has to have fairness and equal application and is better left not administered than administered partially.
I agree it's a counterpoint, but I disagree it's fatal. I think they're an instance of "bad facts make bad law."

Vaccines are unusual in a few respects: (1) recently they've fallen into the generalized backlash against lockdowns; (2) by their nature the benefit is in the reduction of low probability events that people mis-estimate anyway; and (3) polling on the issue often conflates questions of science, such as do vaccines work, with questions of policy, such as whether they should be mandatory.
If a bike can safely yield, then this seems to imply that visibility is good enough to see coming cars. Wouldn't it then be safe for cars to treat it as a yield as well, especially if we consider that a car could likely clear the intersection more quickly than bike (aka the visibility distances needed for a bike to safely treat it as a yield are greater than for a car since they potentially spend more time in the intersection due to slower speed)?

If they had apologized to him after the mistake, they might have received forgiveness. But instead they berated him, then fired him for having a second panic attack. At that point, the situation is no longer a mistake to be tolerated.
I remember the Oracle acquisition and the subsequent squelch of chatter in #opensolaris and #nexenta on irc. I worked on porting a ton of Debian packages to Nexenta and used it in a university setting along side Linux and macOS hosts. It was hard to see all of that work become somewhat worthless with Oracle's acquisition of Sun. It was an extra slap on the face that Sun hardware that I personally owned outright had a firmware bug that Sun released for free that I then had to pay for an Oracle subscription to download.

ZFS, Dtrace, Zones, iSCSI, SMF ... all rock solid and extremely usable. I never liked the antiquated package management in Solaris thus my involvement in Nexenta.

Solaris being "free" 8 years later means nothing to revive any of this. If anything, it signals that Oracle is taking steps to stop considering this as a product.

I think part of the issue here is you're talking about people estimating future accomplishment where they have no skill, and all variations of these experiments are people assessing how they performed on a test they just took. There's very likely a difference between someone doing open-ended talking wildly in a field where they don't even know what's possible and an introspective assessment of themselves on a concrete task they just completed.
When I signed the paperwork for my house I stopped to read all of it first. The escrow person then asked my wife if I was a lawyer or an engineer. Apparently nobody else ever reads them before signing.

Yes, it is like Tor in that there is good with the bad, and public opinion on positive strengths can counter FUD narratives.

Joseph reports accurately and matter of fact. LFB is just raising negative opinion. It’s a shame because at one point I thought LFB was a real advocate. He seems disillusioned.

Not after they let go everyone related to Rust, as far as I am aware.

I'll admit to only paying a small amount of attention to that whole thing, but from the little that did filter in, brutal seems like a strange word for it.

What words do you have left for events where numerous people are intentionally killed (shot, beheaded, blown up, tortured, etc) when you use brutal for this one?
People forget that the search problem depends on the size of the document collection.

When Gerard Salton was doing information retrieval in the 1960s and 70s he was storing document vectors on IBM cards and working with 70 document collections.

In that case recall is everything; if there is 1 document on the topic and you missed it you're screwed. Often you have to take heroic measures to have any relevant results at all!

Contrast that to Google which has "billions and billions" of documents and it hardly matters if they lose 70% of them as long as something high-quality ranks near the top.

In the first few years after Google got famous for search quality academic researchers struggled to prove that PageRank helped with web search because it doesn't help if you have 10 million documents or even 100 million documents, it takes "billions and billions". (Combining a document ranking with a query-document ranking is tough, you never want to give somebody an irrelevant document just because it is popular.)

The main reason why "search sucks" is that even though there is an accepted methodology for measuring and tuning up the performance of search systems developed for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Retrieval_Conference

hardly anybody does it. There are so many ideas that you think would improve relevance that don't... That conference met for five years before somebody found something that did

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25

Anyhow I worked for a company where they had me use methods from TREC to tune up a search engine for patents and it was so good that we sold a license to the USPTO for it 72 hours after a demo went live.

You can go ahead and be the "enterprise search" company that has "8001 integrations" but your results will suck unless you do what we did.

I am still nostalgic for the full-text search for the help of Office '95. As much as people mocked the paper clip, that might be the only application I ever used where the full-text search over the help was useful.
I think it’s a simple post hoc fallacy. Stop signs proliferated afterBig Oil gained a degree of power over Congress, therefore Big Oil must be part of the cause.

That said, there is precedent for traffic laws being set by fuel consumption concerns and there was industry pushback against it that led to its repeal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law

The difference between Drive 55 and the stop signs is that Drive 55 was enacted by a single legislative act, and stop signs proliferate due to a combination of state code, municipal code, civil engineering practices and limited imagination. Traffic circles are currently proliferating just as easy, and reduce fuel consumption.
So many psychology experiments are so fantastically underpowered, that if the effect they are attempting to measure were real, odds are that it would have to be of such a large magnitude that it would completely overturn all of our beliefs on how humans function. And they can publish with a P value of 0.049.

So, implicit in the standards for publishing new research in psychology is "We think there is much greater than a 5% chance that our entire field is wrong" which is not a great place to start from.
Sponge exists for cases where shell redirection wouldn't work, namely where you want the source and sink to be the same file. If you write:

somecmd < somefile | othercmd | anothercmd > somefile

the output redirection will truncate the file before it can get read as input.

Sponge "soaks up" all the output before writing any of it, so that you can write pipelines like that:

somecmd < somefile | othercmd | anothercmd | sponge somefile

If it is true that the mind is "anti-fragile", in that, appropriately dosed stressors make it stronger, then perhaps its not "or", but "and".

Psychedelics treat mental illness and cause mental illness. They treat it by causing it.

Regardless, mental illness seems highly relative to societal norms. And psychedelics have a way of minimizing the importance of societal norms, so maybe thats a factor too.

I don’t really see this working out the way they thinking it will. If someone killed my kid and called me to gloat I’d probably be more interested in inflicting maximum pain on the killers than protesting the government that caused the war.
We probably should have released the blog post version as 0.3 instead of 0.2.1.

There were not any breaking changes, but enough fixes and additions (e.g., the convolutional layer and threading) that 0.2.0 isn't really comparable.

Odds are there is a version conflict in 0.2.1 (which also bumped dependency requirements) that does not exist in 0.2.0, and that this is preventing you from upgrading.
You could start a smaller environment, or try `] add SimpleChains@0.2.1` to force it/get an error message telling you what the conflict is.
Yes, indeed. This was mentioned in 0.6's release notes[0]. However, this is the first actual stop of the train, so we probably could have mentioned it in these release notes as well.

If you're looking for a modernist take that's not econ or journalism, the way in is probably checking out the CCRU, which still has a lot of literature on it and by it around [0], and the Cybernetic Hypothesis [1]. CCRU is like if a technically aware philosophy department discovered this and extended it into total conclusion(idk, that's not really a good explanation), Cybernetic Hypothesis is like if like arts/anarchist types did the same, and then both filter into interesting pools. Cypherpunk and early bitcoin are definitely tuned in, but with probably different motivations and outcome goals.

What sort of blows my mind is especially those first two sources offer really clear eyed commentary on 'all of this,' but they are also dated - 1990's publishing date. It's like you have to tap into sometimes hokey "the information age" literature to get a clear read on 2020's tech. What's worse is the 1990's lit theorizes fairly radical (for the time) outcomes that came very true today even beyond the usual Neuromancer/Cryptonomicon/Sci-Fi mappings, yet there isn't much discussion on it (like this thread).

edit - would check out Jaron Lanier, 'who owns the future,' for a pretty modern take that discusses the above well and he has tech bonafides.

Can you actually do an airgapped Windows install these days? I used to work in the defence sector in the days of Windows 2000 and that was easy but I have no idea how it works since.

I was literally "rear-ended" by an 18 wheeler at an intersection in downtown Chicago. Orleans and Grand iirc.

The guy had pulled up so close to my back wheel, and then "forgot" I was there. When the green turned, he immediately impacted my back wheel.

I was able to exit the bike in the brief second between that tap and when he seriously hit the gas. My bike proceeded to be crushed by the semi along with all my electronics in my bag strapped to the back. I was so lucky to get off the bike (admittedly I was incensed that someone had bumped me and I was about to get into a fight with the person), if I had tried to stay on that bike I would've definitely died!
One challenge around studying these drugs is efficacy is often linked to expectation. Some speculate 1 key mechanism at work is an amplification of the placebo effect. If this is the case then clearly testing of these drugs using traditional techniques to eliminate the placebo effect will be problematic
This is nice for SPARC hobbyists like me, because now I can play with newer packages on my SPARC T4 server. Without this the updated packages would be stuck at versions from 2018.

But in 2022, there is not very big need for commercial operating systems outside of large enterprises. But still I'm happy that Oracle will be supporting Solaris until 2034. I always get sad when something is deprecated.

I understand that everyone wants to use Linux and x86 nowdays, but it still makes me sad that the diversity in operating systems and hardware is decreasing. It feels like everyone is only interested in Linux. Many FOSS software doesn't even work or compile well on other free operating systems such as BSDs and Illumos distros, because the developers use Linux themselves.

I'm mostly a Linux user myself, but I would like to live in a world with a lot of different operating systems and CPU architectures in use.
If you're going to pick a "counterexample" just say unsafePerformIO, or the aptly named accursedUnutterablePerformIO[0]. (There are quite a few variants.)

Everybody knows that there are escape hatches because they are actually sometimes absolutely required for asymptotics or just plainly because it may be too hard to "prove" that your code is safe to the compiler.

That isn't a gotcha -- you know exactly what code you need to audit extra carefully.
