>Tunnels carrying internal combustion cars need air circulation lest people die from carbon monoxide poisoning/ lack of oxygen. EVs don't need that.

Maybe not as much, but you’re still gonna need air circulation
Making the Rust ownership model central to the core language and standard library has meant that after 11 years of Rust, your program still can't have two objects of the same type owned by different allocators. As a result, I am interested in other approaches to these problems.
Can't recommend AstroNvim enough as a starting point to Nvim. It is the perfect bootstrap needed (though I would disable their integration with the scroll plugin — Neoscroll. Prefer the native scroll instead).
It's true that some LSPs are resource intensive too. But in my experience, the "little things" like opening the editor/IDE, and new files, quickly/instantaneously tend to be better with neovim rather than IDEs. I'd love to hear about others' experiences about this though!
I don't put on TV in the background either, but the other typical use case of slow TV, watching for 15 or 30 minutes or even an hour to relax and decompress very much resonates with me. Just like I could spend an hour in front of a fireplace, just watching the flames. Nothing "boring" about that.
> you can easily write a shell script that appears to perform well enough in your test environment but has clear problems when run for real in environments with significantly more items

This is far from unique to shell scripts. To many times I get sent "nasty SQL" optimisation problems with the phrase "works fine in test?" or "it is really fast on my local dev environment" as part of the description. While some common constructs (loops that spawn many processes per iteration) that can make shell scripts particularly prone to this, you can't blame the language for people just not nothing to test at, or even think about, production scale.
At least some hardware provides the timestamp for you. Ideally if that's carried along with the packet, it measures the load on the whole system, so when you start dropping packets it's not just a function of network congestion but running out of cpu.

This would be a plus for a userspace router implementation, as presently in linux we timestamp on entry to the exit queue, not on all the overheads of routing lookup, and other processing from the read from the rx ring.
This is such a weird take. Is the conclusion here that the upper class needs to adopt a sigma grindset and get married more because it'll influence the poors to be less antisocial? Like none of the systemic rot or declining wages over the past 50 years matters?
> He found that the ratio of suicide was higher among protestants than among catholics, and concluded that it was because they were less embedded in strict norms, and freer to do whatever they pleased, compared to the stronger social control among catholics. So, freedom turned out to be not necessarily a good thing.

Interesting, I'm from a catholic country and my characterisation of those two religions is basically opposite. Chill and rules-skirting catholics (Poles, Italians) vs uptight and law-abiding protestants (Englishmen, Scandinavians etc.).
The concept at least seems insanely useful with EC2 spot instances - I’ve always wondered what’s the easiest way to transfer stream connections to another host pending imminent shutdown without the client experiencing any downtime.

It might even be possible to run a service fully on a moderate fleet of ephemeral instances and save over half of the EC2 costs.
Darn, I guess I did miss out then.
> C++ lets you easily delete a T* or T const*, Rust has https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html#2-consu... I guess?

Box deletes the owned object when it goes out of scope without being moved (like unique_ptr in C++). So if anything, you want to go the other way: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.f...

However, you can delete a *T by using <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/trait.Allocator.html#tym...> with the Global allocator (since this is the one you're most likely using).

> I wanted to transform a &mut T into &UnsafeCell<T> (note the &) and copy the reference, to allow shared mutation scoped within the lifetime of the source &mut T. How can this be accomplished?

If you want to have two instances of one &mut T, you don't go through &UnsafeCell<T>. Instead you may cast &mut T into *mut T and then use this: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html#method....>. This however will cast into any lifetime, so if you want to bind the two lifetimes together, then you need to have the lifetime of the original &mut T explicitly specified, and then you assign the result of the method I linked to a variable with explicitly specified type where you specify the lifetime annotation. Alternatively, you may write a separate function which accepts both references as arguments and binds the two lifetimes together the usual way.

I admit it's a bit unergonomic. The best way currently would be to have the data stored as UnsafeCell in the first place and then call get_mut() on it to get all the references. However, if this reference comes from outside, you're left with the little mess I outlined above.
It seems to me like the effects of "normative" family structures might be different and better in countries that tolerate divorce. Where divorce is tolerated and non-stigmatised, those families that remain "normative" are, almost by definition, the most stable and healthy ones. If divorce were forbidden or stigmatized, then many more families would remain together where parents are always in conflict or where there is spousal abuse. So it is possible that the apparent benefits of normative family structures are only apparent in societies that tolerate "non-normative" family structures, and would disappear in less tolerant societies.
And if you become obese from a sedentary job, it is easy to herniate the disks in your back doing ordinary things.
"had to" is a strong term; they called the development Skyneedle and all the branding is centered around playing it up. (Also, let's be honest, Pradella were kind of running out of names otherwise.) It is very reminiscent of the 1982 Wigsphere from The Simpsons though.
Damn so that makes me a small time elite.
Able to summon? Sure, but it feels unnatural. It sometimes happens when I gather all of my focus on a single task, eg. a debugging session. But then it's closer to talking to myself.

My mind defaults to such a jumbled mess of simultanelous trains of thought that attempting to linearize them into a single voice is impossible.

They are, that's the moment you see how the person code when she/he is responsible. You see the real skills and potentials of that person.
For me, there are no "red" flags when looking at someone's public code.

I consider them as conversation items. I don't think anyone is expecting to see multiple completed products with 1k+ stars.

The worst case is, you waste time agonising over the quality of your code and either: don't publish, or no one even looks at it (highly likely)

You're not about to get code-reviewed. At most, if anything, it would be:

"explain this class/function": I'd expect you to vaguely know the answer after reading it

or, "why did you do <something> this way?": answers like "I got it from SO", "I don't know of a better way" are perfectly fine.
it's entirely irrelevant to work capacity. It's a popular thing to look for because where it does exist and is good it's a strong hard-to-bullshit signal of a good developer.

That doesnt mean that the candidates who dont have it arent equally good. It just means that you cant easily tell it without investing resources into interviewing them and others who look as good as them.

Simon Willison has written about using SQLite for a "Baked in data" architecture which is a super interesting method for some situations: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jul/28/baked-data/

As he notes https://www.mozilla.org/ uses this pattern:

> They started using SQLite back in 2018 in a system they call Bedrock ... Their site content lives in a ~22MB SQLite database file, which is built and uploaded to S3 and then downloaded on a regular basis to each of their application servers.

I'm particularly interested in the "Sessions" extension (https://www.sqlite.org/sessionintro.html) and would love to hear if anyone has successfully used it for an eventually consistent architecture built on top of SQLite?

I'm using SQLite in Notion Backups (most of the workload happens in background jobs; the web app itself doesn't get that many visits)

Except for some rare exceptions, it's been doing pretty great. I don't have any plans to migrate from SQLite any time soon.
> How do Chrome and Firefox (and Safari I suppose) give their worker processes P-cores while users are interacting with the browser window process?

Generally if a UI process makes IPC calls out to a daemon or other process, the Mach kernel is supposed to keep track of prioritization and an on-behalf-of relationship for the daemon. That is, if the kernel already thinks the foreground app is P-core eligible, any work it initiates in other processes via IPC should be P-core eligible as well, through a “voucher” object that is passed between processes: https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-3789.41.3/osfmk/...

I’m not sure the mechanism you’re using to put video playback out-of-process, but if there’s any IPC calls involved, make sure they’re originating from a UI task, and not the other way around? Hopefully this gives you something to go on.
> hellhole made of roads, cars and 70h workweeks

We're (so far) free of the 70h workweeks, at least, but if you're trying to portray Sweden as somehow a car-free haven of environmentally-friendly cycling and walking along the lines of Denmark or The Netherlands, then you're really taking the blind nationalism too far...

> It’s not common to be able to hear music in your head

I did not know this, do you have any sources for somewhere to read about it? Not that I don't believe you, I'm just curious about just how unlikely it is to be able to do that.

In music we call the above ability "audiation", and people who can't audiate are often not good at improvisation. It's more intuitive for people who can audiate, and more systematic for people who can't (ie instead of imagining new music, they are generating it from rules).

I can recall and recite full pieces that I've only heard one or two times. I really struggle with remembering lyrics, but I will remember the full suite of instruments and what they played. I can also synthesize/imagine new songs in my head with those same instruments and voices, with totally new melodies and chords, I can do that for voices to. I can make anyone say anything in my head.

I figured everyone could do some variant of that. Though remembering every note is probably a bit extra-curricular I wouldn't have expected it to be that unique.

It's also possible that I don't remember as perfectly as I think I do, but because I can synthesize so well and have a fairly large musical exposure, I fill in the background instruments closely enough that it's the same vibe.
> The standard libraries, which I reckon are pretty comparable in terms of features, are again separated by an order of magnitude in size.

I would be extremely surprised if this were the case, especially given that the Zig standard library is full of generics.
I'm the same, re not having internally-vocalised thought. Can you read without vocalising though? That was an idea I discovered on HN, in the context of speed reading.

Seems we go from reading out loud, to reading in our heads (internally-vocalising), but you can continue and read without the internal-vocalisation. I can do it a bit, but under test conditions I only picked up about half of what I would do when I read to myself in my head.

Amazing how different people's headspaces are.

> That's why our morals exist, because societies that had them were more fit than societies where everyone was totally selfish

Or, our morals exist because they allowed us to steamroll other less selfish and more altruistic groups because we were able to frame them as outgroup 'others'.
Surely there’s a lower time limit at which verbalization is even possible. Split-second decisions cannot involve any words, let alone sentences, regardless of the speed at which they’re produced.

Yeah I was using “phantasia” as an antonym for aphantasia, so just a placeholder term. I guess I mean I readily conjure images in my mind.

Why is that? Emacs comes built in with modes like `fido-vertical-mode`, which are arguably more powerful and modern than `company-mode`. They're just not turned on by default.

>How would you suggest the UK "stops the small boats"?

Instead of financing the wars that create the poverty that these people are fleeing from, use that financing to improve services in their society and create better standards of living.

Its not like the English don't have a long history of colonialism and imperialism to pay for. The debt is due. More should be done to make up the damage done by hundreds of years of exploitation by English lords.
Yes, but if you’re poor enough, the state chips in.

In general, it’s a wash.
My point in the first half is that you can’t look solely at the costs without looking at the benefits - unless you evaluate both you can’t make a meaningful judgement on the efficacy of a system. Yes for sure the government is the largest source of death — but only because the government stamped out all other sources of death. Removing the government would shift that death to elsewhere and not remove it. And if history is anything to go by, dramatically amplify it. That’s why government needs to be iterated on not removed.

Re: renewables in bitcoin, it’s all greenwashing. Every kWh wasted guessing nonces on renewables isn’t spent decarbonizing the grid where we do actual productive things. While generating inordinate quantities of e-waste. I mentioned in another reply 97% of all bitcoin mining hardware will be thrown out, burned, crushed or buried all without ever mining a block successfully in its entire useful life.

I know there are other consensus mechanisms but they just rely on feudalistic control of the supply and just create systemic inequality without accountability.

There’s no good that comes of this. In basically every case decentralization and permissionlessness is not what anyone actually wants or needs.
Hi everyone… just a quick intro, we are BitTrap, the company you are referring to in multiple posts of this thread…. Criticism on SEO is noted and acknowledged…we’ll fix that.

Regarding the Stakedy article, that is exactly what we do: BitTrap is a blockchain-based intrusion detection system that provides alarms when a system was compromised. We do so by granting hackers an economic incentive (bounty) in crypto to reveal their position within the organization's network and dissuade them to continue the attack therefore minimizing their dwell time in the system.

We calculate the right economic incentive by running tests in our Lab to replicate possible outcomes in diverse situations and we also protect pretty much any device you can think of (even offline devices) becoming a real Universal Intrusion Detection System.

As we don’t want to get pitchy here, we’ll just leave some reference links to let you find out more about us: www.bittrap.com

We have a few whitepapers and articles you may also find interesting: https://www.bittrap.com/resource/articles-whitepapers

Let us know if you’d like more info or detail. Thanks for the (indirect) mention :)

Interesting. This seems quite different from the argument you were making in your prior comment (two parents and income differences).

Yes, cultural differences can explain some crime patterns. Not all of those cultural differences are tied to income and two parent families.

> You just called the most successful businessman in the world an 'utterly inept businessman'.

Success is measured using market share not market cap or net worth of the CEO.

Tesla accounted for 1.3% of all cars sold in the world during 2021.

Stock price, net worth and number of synchopants getting on their knees are like a voting machine, market share is a weighting machine.

When you use the right metric it becomes crystal clear who are te guys setting records at the weighting machine.

It's the usual quiet ones: Buffett, Gates, Brin&Page, Tim Cook.

Not to mention the GOAT. Rockefeller left Standard Oil at #1 in market share and here we are in 2022 the companies which were under the umbrella of Standard Oil are still at #1.

Can someone ELI5 why collisions are so serious?
As far as I understand what a collision is, it means you have two source files that produce the same hash output, but why is this so bad? How do you have any control over what the contents of those two files are?
I am genuinely interested to hear your reasoning for how someone can be an "utterly inept businessman" and also become the richest man in the world. How is that possible?
Those filesystems (ZFS, BTRFS) have robust error correction, but every modern filesystem has checksums for every block. Checkdisk isn't powered by magic.

Also, look into TCG Pyrite. Almost all consumer drives with SED features are Pyrite.
Ask HN: Why isn't reddit.com rotating moderators?
Even from a demographic perspective: Their audience is perpetually young, which means new users are coming in , but the old mods never go out and they tend to clog the conversation with their biases and power trips (experienced that in countless subreddits). Does reddit even think about problems like these?

How do you handle this? Do you store the SQLite file somewhere like s3 or just in memory?

How does this work for such high traffic sites?
It's not about being decent, it's about being straight up better. It does get a bit sluggish, but that's more on Java being memory hungry.

Technofascism Is Here
Technofascism arrived this morning in the post. It's a 125 page
paperback published by Trine Day in March 2022 [1]. It's neither a
technical nor a political book, but a collection of poems, pictures
and prose about a "feeling" that is growing more palpable each day.

Its author, Joel Kabakov [2] grew up in the Bay Area and studied at UC
Berkeley, before becoming a composer and working for Yamaha.

That's in no way what he's suggesting and it's something every language in creation has done: getting inspiration from existing languages.

He's saying about actual working code, something akin to universal libraries you could use from any language. Or maybe some auto-translation/hooking up of libraries from another language, through some sort of "library protocol".
