This is why you don't want lawyers calling the shots. Lawyers are looking to get paid, they'd rather get a cash settlement than get the code. If the lawyers are working for you, the copyright holder, then you can choose how to handle the situation. But if you sign the code over to the lawyers, it will no longer be your call.

There is a tremendous market of corporate interests that have a very vested interest in farming staying the way it is. From custom GMO seeds to input(fertilizer, fungicides, pesticides) producers to implement manufacturers they all want farming to stay the same. A regenerative approach removes a massive amount of those needs and profits.
Remote work means people can maximize their wages else where.

A lot of people also don't know what it's like to live / grow up in a small town. I suspect once they meet middle American culture they'll be coming right back to California.
I think there's nothing more profound than love in the human condition to be honest. I don't think it's not real at all. It is probably the strongest driving force in human behaviour. I didn't mean to downplay the significance.

But I changed my comment as it was not my intention to offend. On the contrary. Just saying "homosexuality" sounds distant and clinical so I said love to make it feel more real. Because really that's what it's about isn't it? For me love is what makes a relationship real. One based on just sex isn't, at least not to me.

Why would something emotional not be real? Sexual attraction is a big part of love but I think the term goes much further than that.
Serious question because you seem to have a very good handle on this.

Thirteen years after the release of bitcoin. Seven for Ethereum. Both of these technologies had the benefit of building on each other (and many others), ubiquitous internet connectivity, social media, mobile, etc.

Yet all of it is still nowhere near ready for mass-consumption. How is it possible that technologies/platforms with all of the advantages I mentioned are significantly underperforming mass adoption compared to any other significant technology created over the past 30 years?

Reminds me of “the year of the Linux desktop”.
For what it's worth there are a lot of public figures on HN. I'm not going to name anyone in particular, because it seems tacky, but I wouldn't consider it an invasion of their privacy to note who they are in context. For example when you see a world renowned expert getting pushback on their subject of expertise from someone, it's not inappropriate to raise the matter of their expertise which of course involves their identity, because it helps readers grow intellectually. Therefore, I will acknowledge a poster's identity if it's relevant to discussion, or if I just want to thank them for building something that improved my life.
Appreciate the kind words. Whenever I do something actually useful, it's a real thrill!
> I would not make any assumptions about implementation details to which I have no access.

you've made the assumption that a deletion actually deletes, when there is near 100% chance that it doesn't, and there is clearly a 100% chance that Twitter has done all the investigation they are going to do.

this isn't a murder investigation, it's a flipping tweet. delete it and move on with your life.
> most men are just not having sex in their 20s anymore

This is misleading and seems to be trying to paint a picture of male victimhood that just isn't statistically supported.

It's true that in the US people (both male and female) are having sex now than in the 1990s:

> Between 2009 and 2018, the proportion of adolescents reporting no sexual activity, either alone or with partners, rose from 28.8 percent to 44.2 percent among young men and from 49.5 percent in 2009 to 74 percent among young women.[1]

It's worth noting that less women than men are having sex, and the decline amongst women has been greater than amoung men.

I can path 200,000 to 300,000+ units simultaneously to random destinations, with a bonus of utilizing all shortest paths between two points.

tbh I would use (and I think have used) drop() for this just because I know drop exists and what it does but Mutex::unlock is something I'd only ever know about if I went and scanned the whole Mutex page on rustdoc.

I like the idea of these sorts of "drop-with-semantics" functions, but in practice until/unless they add a way to `impl !Drop` (or maybe `#[deprecated]` on a trait impl so you can add a deprecation note on your `impl Drop`) on a type, I'm not sure they're worth it.

I've never seen any evidence of anyone ever being sued by an agro-chemical company for accidentally planting/growing patented seeds, and I've spent some time looking. So people have made the claim, and they were later discovered to have been using the seeds intentionally.

I actually think that farmers should be allowed to save those seeds and replanting them, as long as they don't sell them. So I'm in favor of changing the way patent law works there.

Grindr has the worst privacy protections of any social media app out there. For many years they were sending the private HIV status & sexual orientation information for millions of people to third party analytics in plain text – i.e. every router on the internet could read your HIV status.

> If I as a developer want to license my code a certain way (and enforce that license in a certain way) what authority do these lawyers have to tell me I'm "stupid".

The exact same authority developers have when they tell their clients that they cannot run a 1,000,000 person site off the phone they forget to charge sometimes. Or even a designer telling a client their color scheme is poor (it clashes, isn't color-blind friendly, and renders poorly on anything smaller than a tablet)! It's a technical matter and they are paid SMEs.

The brake booster will hold some vacuum for a few brake applications and, if the car remains in gear, the rotation will continue to create vacuum to recharge the brake booster (and turn the power steering pump, but power steering is not needed in practice at anything approaching “runaway car” speed).

> What is the mechanism of suspension and resumption? They mention elsewhere that any platform thread could pick up any virtual thread so I assume they must be storing the stack somewhere.

Virtual threads are built on top of underlying delimited one shot continuations, and those store the stack. A large part of the engineering effort has been in making this as efficient as possible.

> Is there a cost transferring stacks on virtual threads across platform threads?

A stack always has to be at least partially copied to the carrier thread’s stack, and it doesn’t really matter which OS thread that is. I say partially because initially only the current stack frame will be copied as most threads will have a deep stack compared to the number of frames active in any operation likely to yield.

> Does this introduce new security implications if there are less OS level restrictions on memory access between platform threads?

The security model remains intact. A virtual thread performing some privileged operation will be privileged no matter which OS thread it is run on, and one which is not privileged will not be no matter the OS thread it runs on.

> What happens in cases where an application has user defined platform threads? How does the system determine what platform threads are available to the virtual threading system?

Virtual threads don’t just run on a random OS level thread. They run on a scheduler (commonly a fork join pool) and are effectively a series of tasks fed to that scheduler.
U.S. Seeks 'Urgent' Data on Covid Relapses After Using Paxlovid
Thanks! That looks great too. And it seems like I could actually use both at the same time on top of the same files in a complimentary fashion, though I'd have to test that out to make sure, and see if the use cases made it worthwhile.

I use todoist for basic task management, but it's ability to view history is virtually non existent so I don't bother attaching documents or anything related to a project there. But I use the API to compile task history, so I could integrate them as markdown files into this so I don't have to start from scratch in building things up.

Lipstick, Teeth sensitivity, headgear getting in the way, in conjunction with a lid it helps keep the environment out of the cup, maintaining temperature, easier for children/those with motor co-ordination issues to drink. there are LOTS of reasons for it.

Quite often though, its done just because its the default option. economy of scale takes hold here...

these things almost always have plastic lids anyway, so why not build a straw like spout into the lid...
>"using a JavaScript tool to build a site then having a GitHub Action push the files up to an S3 bucket with a cloudfront distribution in front of it."

This is like saying “If I want to write my code a certain way, what right do compiler authors and language designers have to tell me code contains ‘syntax errors’ and ‘obvious bugs’”. On some level you can write whatever code you want. But if you want it to work the way you intend, there’s some rules that have to be followed
Wow, that was written in 2005. Heartbreaking.

Sigh. There's no way I would want an NVidia card in any laptop, especially not a linux one. Why must companies do stupid configuration tie ins like this? At least there's a workaround.

It's truly unfortunate. Science should be about understanding how wrong we are just as much or even more than understanding how right we are. And yet, the push to publish puts things on safety rails to make sure you're always right. It's like putting blinders on science when we should be letting it run free.
My small footnote to this story: we had the look on the "blind bid" to purchase the portfolio of erroneous trades on the program trading desk I worked on. Ultimately we didn't bid (thank you risk department) and it traded away to Goldman as the article correctly reports. Would've been a great trade though. I estimated it netted Goldman $2m+
He's saying that in the end, all that will be available to customers will be the unscrupulous ones - because if someone tries the other approach, they'll fail.

> In evidence submitted to the UK’s parliament, network operator BT Group, which owns EE, said Private Relay would pose “significant challenges” if it is needed to block websites or services under the UK’s planned internet safety laws. However, many of these concerns apply equally to traditional VPNs too.

And thus the walls start to close in a little more around internet access in the UK. It won't be long before the usual voices start complaining that VPNs put children at risk and enable terrorists and cyber-criminals.
In my experience, people use appropriate tools for the job. Most data scientists won't reach for a neural network if the problem can be solved by other, simpler means.
> If the GPL was not followed, the person who wrote the code could optionally take action. This actually works out pretty well, because folks who actually code tend NOT to file frivioulus type legal cases

That never made sense to me. AFAIK, in many GPL projects there are numerous copyright holders. Therefore, who is going to be the one to sue over the issues and optional seek damages. If all the SF Conservancy wants is the ability to sue violators, why aren't they paying someone to develop a few lines to the Linux kernel and every other project. Then, they can have standing to sue. Of course, it doesn't give them standing to license everyone else's code, but if they want to sue it works.
> Can you contruct a sequence that an adversary CAN distinguish from a real dice-cast?

With high probability (over the distribution of possible dice-casts to distinguish it from), yes:

A: 6 4 3 2 1 4 5 1 6 5

B: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Same procedure (A=constructed,B=10d6,xchg A <=> B if another d6 is >3), but this time I clearly don't need to explain how the constructed sequence was constructed.

The adversary will sometimes get it wrong because 10d6 came up "1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" itself (or something equally-plausible like "6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6"), but they'll do much better than random guessing. Whereas being able to do better than random guessing against a CSPRNG/stream cipher means the cryptographic primitive is completely broken. (I'm not sure it's a direct break for a hash function, but it's still pretty bad.)

There was an article making the rounds a few years ago [0] that made some rather blunt and pointed arguments _against_ stackful concurrency. I'm not an expert in this field, but it would seem to me that while some of these arguments don't apply in the JVM world, many others do.

Seriously, set out the main points you want to state as a list. Then flesh those out. Then start editing (as one of the other commenters has already said). Think about what you have, maybe change the layout and edit some more.

You may need 'one version to throw away' before you come out with the final product. Very rarely will you be 'finished' when writing a document. There always seems to be just one more edit.

Don't let the fact that the document is 'unfinished' delay you if need be. Sometimes you just have to get it 'out the door', unfinished or not.
