Between C++ and Rust, my bet would be that you decide Rust.

But—also learn Zig in addition to Rust.

Having seen first-hand how so many threat vectors these days are now supply chain attacks, having reported CVEs and earned P1 bounties in memory safe languages, and having worked on static analysis systems to detect zero day exploits—I'm also impressed by Zig's overall approach towards safety, as being more than only memory safety.

For example, this comes through in Zig's extreme simplicity and explicitness, and also how Zig enables checked arithmetic by default for safe builds. For people who haven't worked in security, integer overflow and wraparound may seem like small things, but they increase the probability of exploits such as buffer bleeds, i.e. attacks like OpenSSL's Heartbleed, which are often remotely accessible and easier to pull off than a UAF.

In fact, no language is 100% memory safe, i.e. able to prevent a memory buffer bleed, because these are logic errors with respect to the protocol. However, explicit control flow and checked arithmetic do help to close semantic gaps and minimize ambiguity, which is what good security comes down to.

Of course, Zig only offers spatial memory safety, and not temporal memory safety like Rust. So Zig is more memory safe than C, and less memory safe than Rust or JavaScript. Nevertheless, Zig is safer than Rust when it comes to being able to handle memory allocation failure.

Again, Rust's borrow checker is also valuable for concurrency safety, i.e. for multithreaded systems, but if you're using io_uring for fast I/O, then multithreading is less of the necessary evil that it used to be a few years ago.

Zig is something you can pick up in a week, with state of the art tooling, and fantastic C-ABI interop for libraries.

So... learn both!
As all these damn names blend together, Pegasus is the Israeli NSO Group's spyware. Usually you could read the article to be reminded which spyware it was, but this is in Spanish and the term "NSO" isn't on the page.
I wish VLC, plex, video players in general had the ability to automatically sync subs to audio. (automatically, not manually)

We have the technology; everything we need to do this exists. It's just not done automatically, and when using slightly off-sync subs, you have to fiddle with sub timing for ages until you find the right sync. Even more so when the subtitles have different off-sync issues for the whole movie/episode.
Heh suck fighting your own
I imagine that using Zig to compile C++ projects is probably a better idea?
Get print the current time as as Unix timestamp.

date +%s

To convert a Unix timestamp to local time with GNU date, e.g.

date -d @1651483224

With BSD date, e.g.

date -r 1651483224
They usually wont unless you invite them to the dinner. But you can find jokes like you did everywhere.
I believe the point is more that there is a growing sentiment that colleges are a waste of money, and that—purely for learning a trade—you're better off doing a bootcamp or self teaching.

That might be true, but apart from education, colleges offer lots of opportunities to make friends without explicitly trying to do that. You can make friends being self-taught, but you'll have to be proactive in going to social events because you won't be surrounded by like-minded people by default.

> Seems handy if you just want to fiddle around with a .c and .h file pair without writing a makefile, though!

Doesn't make already do this, with built-in targets?

Eg, with hello.c, hello.h, no Makefile:

make hello

(not sure about header files though, I know it works for simple c files at least).
Tbh ghosting isn't as bad as saying one thing and then making excuses to not go through it.

I've been on dates where I thought it went well, I got the "let's do this again", and then whenever I suggested "let's do it again on X day?" I get excuses.

If they don't want to that's fine, they don't even have to say no just don't reply! But the leading on is annoying...
Simpler to use than what? It's not simpler to use than CMake which is what has replaced it for almost everyone.

To me, this reads like they are trying to tell you to get lost in nice words. Most likely, you're not spending $1+ mio annually so they just don't care about you or your experience.

AWS is built to support the biggest cloud empires on the planet. If you're not working on that scale, a smaller provider will likely provide much more personal attention, so better support, better tuning, and potentially better bang per buck.

But I wouldn't call AWS collapsing. It's operating as designed. The issue is that too many small companies bought into their "stand on the shoulders of giants" marketing and then convinced themselves that they need planet-scale whatever when really they don't. If you're small and nimble, you want small and nimble solutions, too.

I think OpenCL support has been getting better, and it may be possible to run a lot of models with it, but that just doubles your already frustrating amount of hours trying to set the damn thing up.
Being knowingly ignorant is less ignorant than being unknowingly ignorant. Over systematization of dating creates illusory knowledge that impedes connection.

I've seen how the obsessive-analytic mindset fares in dating. I'll take bumbling along any day.
I have ADHD - mostly inattentive. I'm 46. I was diagnosed in my early twenties. I had never heard of ADHD, but a friend who had been diagnosed with it sounded like he had a lot of overlapping issues. I skipped three grades (middle school), but then failed out of university in my final year.

I'm suspicious of how often ADHD is diagnosed, and the subjectivity and lack of detailed mechanistic explanations. More study is required. I have little experience with where the current youth/teen culture is at, regarding diagnoses, and mental illness.

Behaviours that I attribute to ADHD have caused me a lot of suffering, and contributed to me being less reliable than I would like w.r.t deadlines, and personal commitments. On the other hand, I'm funny, and very creative. Like painfully creative. Like it's a goddamn joy/pain to be exploding with ideas and interests all the time. Going down rabbit holes, etc.

My current medication is quite helpful, although I experienced very bad side-effects to the first medications I took 20 years ago. This led me to avoid medication for about a decade and a half, to my detriment. Medication has not been a cure-all, and has come with some physical side-effects that I choose to tolerate. With age, I've developed coping strategies, but it's still a daily (weekly?) struggle. This is where accepting yourself -- flaws and all comes in. That tension between personal-improvement, and personal kindness / acceptance.

I'm reliable enough to get by, but I think perhaps I would have been a super-star. Still trying, I guess?

All that said, I don't know if I would get rid of it. The easy creativity, just-do-it default, and humour are part of who I am and want to be. That said, the detriments have absolutely been real and contributed to my own suffering. Although, with age, I feel as though I've been through the crucible and am basically unstoppable. I just don't know exactly where I'm going. I am so much tougher, mentally, than I was. Suffering is not all bad, as long as it's not catastrophic, or inescapable.

So .. uh .. yeah. YMMV.
Misconfigure your squid/privoxy and you’ll probably end up on an open proxy list within hours. Been there.

Least deaths we had in two years https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-...
I very much doubt that. In most EU countries sick days are limited to 90 days, after that a panel of doctors will examine your case and move you to disability pay for example, as you can't just be on sick leave "unlimited".

Here in the UK we can "self-certify" sickness for anything less than 5 days. If you're ill for less than a week then you just tell your boss you're ill and don't come to work. You're still paid. If you're ill for more than 5 days then you need to get sign off from a doctor. You're still paid for the time you're sick. If you're ill for several weeks or longer then you move to "statutory sick pay" which is usually less than your salary but some employers will still pay you your full salary. If you're off work for a really long time (6 months+) then most employers will negotiate with you to resign.

At no point are you ever really in danger of losing your job though, or being forced to return to work. Employers are mostly pretty good about it, especially in tech.

In theory I could be genuinely ill every other week for a full year and self-certify 26 individual weeks off without needing to visit a doctor or losing my job. In that sense, we absolutely do have "unlimited" sick days.
No, no idea. Try to google what "keys" those gamepads actually send?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t see how anyone else in Russia has a personal stake in this war.

The problem is Putin being killed is not the same as Putin dropping dead. Whoever took over would have an imperative to take vengeance on whoever killed Putin, just on general principle, so it very much depends how it was done, who did it and what information was out about that.
Both of these are not electron apps. And fig doesn't even require you to install a different terminal. These can't be what op was talking about.
Just learn both. Find the time.

From a practical perspective, if you're short on time and want a return on your investment, C++ will open up more opportunities on the job front.
I would argue that for Ivory Towers universities, their students would be well served by spending 3-4 years hanging out with people in the real world outside their four walls.

Take Oxford (UK) for example. For some reason Oxford is taken to be the pinnacle of UK Ivory Towers.

As a result people who go there form a social clique and tend to spend the rest of their lives surrounding themselves by people who also went to Oxford.

They also end up being so insecure that there is now that infamous saying, "How do you know if someone went to Oxford ?" ... "Don't worry, they'll tell you".

(for those unfamiliar, it is a reference to inevitable the "When I was at Oxford" bragging that Oxford graduates seem to have an inbred tendency to inject into their discussions at any opportunity).
I'm writing this on a plastic laptop that I've been using as my only machine since 2014. Anecdotally its build should be that bad if it's still good to let me pay my bills. Of course it's not in the $300-400 range and its upgradeability made the difference. I would have replaced it a couple of times if I couldn't have added extra RAM and swapped the HDD and DVD for 2 SSDs or replaced the keyboard every time my fingers ended up wearing it. That would have been a waste of money and that's more build quality than plastic vs metal.
What I find peculiar is the fetishization of metal for laptops and phones. I hate how a cold slab of metal feels in my hand. I hate how the aluminium framed laptops radiate heat and make it impossible to actually use them on my lap.
Thanks for clarifying, though he definitely used the word “mutation” in this type of rebinding scenario.
Is it just me, or does this article really overthink way too much?

IMO, dating is ultimately not a subject that could be analyzed by logic. At least not on on the personal / self-help level (of course sociology / statistics still work).

Trying to find some kind of generally applicable "rules of the game" that would work for everyone (or even most) people seems somewhat "not even wrong".

It's simply trying to use the wrong tool in the wrong place.

A date an encounter of two individuals trying to assess and explore their compatibility. This "should" (at least in my opinion) always be subject to their own morals and ethics.

The question isn't "what do most people want / do", but "what would I / You want / do".

made me think about my NEED of what I have regarding terminals.

I think I am using about 2% of the potential of what the terminal is offering me.

So my need for a new terminal app would be one which - undisruptive - trains me to unlock more and more power of the terminal.

first idea, a panel on the right hand side which explains what I just did, highlights pot improvements (how I could have chained the last 5 tasks) and explains similar or pot. next steps.

A beginners terminal.

What are your unmet needs in regards of the terminal app?
> Me; it's far superior to anything outside of a mouse.

I used to love the track point - it felt so efficient to have my pointing device right on the home row of the keyboard.

Eventually I realised it was the cause of some pretty bad RSI (or something) in my index finger. Now I have to remove the plastic cap to stop myself from using it.
But "the excess purchase" will be refunded. "The purchase" was for $10000, so that's what will be refunded.

At least that's what I view as the logically "correct" way to interpret the sentence. Whether it's what the software does or not is anyone's guess.
Just for comparison consider fishing rods:

That is IMO a very shitty experience, why would they do this when they already have an online shop where you can configure stuff?
You cant blame people people for not knowing this when such thing is gatekeeped. IMO fuck dell for that approach

I'm pretty sure farming is as efficient as it is now because farmers listened to technicians who weren't working in the fields all day, and were helped to break out of local maxima. Also - you don't think farmers' kids go to college and end up studying and writing about regenerative agriculture? Are you yourself a farmer's kid who went to college and became a techie?
You told someone with AD(H)D to read that document to get a better idea about attention deficit disorder? You cannot be serious.

That's so interesting, it's not BO right or some bad perfume/cologne.
AFAIK it works like this: you have a test data you develop against and some secret (bigger) test data that you only have access for the final score. While you are developing you can overfit if you want, but then probably you won't perform that well with the secret tests. What you are meant to be doing is to perform with the test data without overfiting. Even if it is not optimal, it mostly solves the overfiting problem. It might work for a cryptocurrency too.
Taurus: Lightweight Parallel Logging for In-Memory Database Management Systems
Ah I’m scared. This feature is in SQL Server and it causes so many issues.
I got a USB-C magnetic adapter/interposer from eBay for my laptop. It's pretty handy, and it means I can still unplug the USB-C supply from the adapter and charge my phone if I need to.

And I also like the right angle nature of the thing because of my my desk works.
Nearly half of US adults (age 20+) are estimated to have refractive errors in their vision [1], which would be a vision disorder. Other estimates I've found are even higher, with more than half of adults needing corrective eyewear. Is that swathe too huge for this demonstrably defective vision to be a disability? Is our society being condescending by inculcating the value of non-defective eyesight?

Not every disorder has a double-sided spectrum of behavior. What's the opposite of Bipolar?

I don't doubt that diagnosis is hard and error-prone, and I don't think any honest scientist claims they have firm explanations for every aspect of ADHD and its treatments. It's an ongoing field of research.

But 70 - 80% of children quickly show improvements in response to stimulant therapy very quickly. That's worth a try for such a debilitating condition that sees a third of its patients drop out of high school and 5 - 10% graduate college at all. ADHD's heritability is insanely high at ~80%. None of your tenuous data-free assertions really changes the good science that has been established. We're not talking about controversial stuff here like SSRIs that barely beats placebo. You're going to have to do more than poke at some gaps to twist ADHD into the wholly different "social construct" theory you have even less actual evidence for.

Sell user data that you smuggle out as 'telemetry' or justify as 'learning what our users want/need.'
Yeah, 100%. I've had a tier-one telco complain to me - very seriously - that my API was too complex because I wanted them to include a user-generated UUID in an API call, so we could ensure we only processed it once. It was very frustrating to be told that we're making things too complex when the whole point was to make it more reliable. A lot of people - including telco software engineers, it turns out - just treat computers as magical.
The location is well known because that bunker was built under the USSR. And it is strong/deep enough that only a powerful nuclear explosion would endanger it. This is a very serious bunker we're talking about.

What they [Russians] might not know is all the modern exits and connections (to the metro system and elsewhere) that have been built since then, or things like supply chains for food, location and current state of the air filtration or communication systems.

BTW, since we're talking about bunkers: the US military in their what-if-shit-hits-the-fan plans has a very hard nut to crack with the Chinese air force, which brilliantly built their aircraft hangars deep inside mountains. It may not be immediately obvious, but the best way to counter an air force is to destroy the aircraft before they take off. Doesn't work if the hangar-bunker is 100% resilient to any kind of a conventional bomb that you could drop on it.
I also own a ZBook and I looked at an LG Gram as a possible replacement in case something happens to my laptop. I use the 3 physical buttons (click, paste - a Linux thing, right click) and the LG doesn't have them. That made me immediately discard the idea. On the other side this Lenovo has the physical buttons. I wonder how terrible the touchpad actually is. I only need to move the pointer and scroll. No gestures, no clicks.
As I don't think Linux on an m1 Mac is going to be viable in the near term - I don't think it's all that relevant as a Linux workstation?
That might also be a communication mismatch. I've seen this situation a few times: Woman says "let's do this [going shopping as friends] again" and then later they are surprised when the Man suggests "let's do this [going on a date as potential partners] again". The [] part is implied and never said, which is why the miscommunication happens.
I wonder about this. It's a crazy commitment/years to deal with. I just look back to my own childhood/what my parents dealt with.

On the other hand part of me feels sad thinking I will be the "last me". Maybe get genome sequenced/publish books of my face and put it sealed in a landfill somewhere for preservation.

Actually rocks last a long time so probably a statue made with a rock.
There's some nice fake buildings in Edinburgh, Scotland

There's a fake "house" at the end of my street. It's actually a telephone exchange:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.9050155,-3.2075701,3a,75y,...

There's normally an Openreach van or two parked outside, which gives the game away, but driving past you wouldn't notice.

My favourite is Dewer Place sub-station, despite the fancy frontage it was purpose built in 1894 as a sub-station: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.9465325,-3.2112386,3a,75y,...

I went on a tour round a few years ago and it was notable for using Gas Insulated Transformers, which are unusual outside of Japan if I remember rightly. There were amazingly strict planning regs that required the installation to be super quiet, so the building had a surprising amount of sound insulation.
Can you actually write Zig build scripts to build C++ projects? If that’s possible then that might be a good option.
I built onboardbase.com for this exact purpose and it has continuously solved a lot of use cases for me personally. There is also hashicorp vault which is amazing as well.

This seems to be the overwhelming sentiment when this topic comes up here, but I had to wonder: how much are you people relying on Tinder et al. ?
I don't think what you describe in your first paragraph is what is generally meant by ghosting, it's more your second example. Lots of texting and communication for a number of weeks and then suddenly none.

I cannot relate with the whole "dating" thing one bit. It's not just that I am old now. All I hear is "apps" and silly comments on "how we this and that".

I'd go as far as saying avoid people who spew things like "we" on the internet. It's crap. They don't know you, and you don't know them.

Go to bars. They're full of young people looking for love. Don't fall into this app dating thing. It's a trap. Why else would they be tripping over to promote it?
It's 2022, I just want to make a website that runs everywhere.

I built it on the principle of those balanced desk lamps (for example google 'Ikea Tertial'). I used wood instead of metal and elastic rope instead of the springs. The joints I 3d printed. You have to adjust the spring/elastic tension to fit with the weight at the end.
I use MS SQL Server a lot at work. I interact with instances via SSMS usually. I'd love a tool that would log to file every query that I execute. Including a customisable comment line with info including when it was run and the server/db it was run against.

I'd move to a command line tool, e.g. a sqlcmd variant or shell voodoo, if it could do that.
Skeletons often have a shimmer effect that indicates that the content is loading.

I don't see much difference between them. A skeleton loader is functionally a spinner that in a clear way reserves the space for the component being loaded.
This comment is perfectly alienated from nature. Yes, significant seasonal and regional variation in diet is a worthwhile tradeoff for eating much more nutritious, tastier, cheaper, and more environmentally sustainable food than we have now. No, it does not mean we would have to eat like feudal peasants.
