> Rule by the minority. You think that's fair?

It's not rule by the minority. It's that the majority needs to get wider agreement on their changes if they are to be implemented. The minority cannot force anything to happen. They can only prevent sweeping changes from passing with the slimmest of margins.

For every liberal complaining about the filibuster or Senate debate rules, would you have been fine with total Republican control of all levels of Federal government from 2016-2018? They had a wider majority in both the House and the Senate than the Democrats do right now.

Slowing the pace of massive change is a good thing. It gives time for ideas to be fleshed out. It gives time for ideas to be experimented with at a smaller scale. It gives time for people to see the results or consequences of actions.
> While the NLRB has previously held that companies can require employees to attend anti-union meetings, the agency’s current general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo views such “captive audience” sessions as inherently coercive and illegal, and her office is pursuing cases that could change that precedent.

While it seems to be some advancement here, and the NLRB may make these meetings illegal, I wonder how we got to this point. It's an easy case to be made that anti-union meetings may be coercive. It's also completely illegal for company higher ups to organise, or for companies to meddle in labour organisation affairs, yet it is fine to push workers to not join unions?

> what does `for<'a>` and `+ '_` mean?

`for<'a>` allows you to introduce a new lifetime parameter which parametrizes an Fn argument independent of the lifetime parameters of the enclosing function/struct. Sounds complicated when you try to explain it in programming terms, but actually when you think about it in terms of logical quantifiers from maths (for<'a> being the universal quantifier introducing the 'a "variable", "for" -> "for all"), it's pretty simple. The idea is simple, the syntax is noisy. I've already complained about the noise in another comment: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31433427>

"+" in type constraints is just conjunction.

> C++ definitely gives you a head start when thinking about lifetimes, but there's still a huge difference between thinking about lifetimes, and writing them down to prove to a not-especially-smart borrow checker that they're ok. Obviously the latter is better, because it gives you guarantees. But it's still way way harder.

Getting a program to compile may be harder. But the whole task of writing a program long-term gets easier. Most of the complaints about borrow-checking I see online can be split into two categories:

1. syntax noise --- I agree

2. this program would work, if not for the borrow checker --- in almost all cases here people do not think about API boundaries at all. They look at the body of the functions they wrote and conclude that it should work. But they forget about one important thing: the compiler needs to ensure that changing the body of function f() without changing its signature should not break compilation of function g() which calls f(). That leads to examples where it seems as if something should compile, but doesn't, because of function boundaries which mandate that lifetimes should be correct regardless of function implementations. And there is a good reason for that: if I use a library, this library pushes out an update which doesn't change the types of anything, I don't want to be forced to update my code for it just to compile. So the work that ensures that everything stays composable throughout implementation detail changes is moved upfront.

The alternatives to "fighting the borrow-checker" are GC or difficult to debug (sometimes even to reproduce) bugs. Fixing the compilation is a lot easier for me than tracking down memory-corruption bugs I face in large C++ codebases with hundreds of contributors, so I disagree with the claim that making things work in Rust is harder.
Thousands of years ago, people decided to stop living like animals and form a civilization. Let's make norms, rules, and institutions, they said, so we don't have to lose our minds amidst the natural uncertainty, so we can plan our lives and families.

Then the "small government libertarians" came along. Notice these are usually the Peter Thiel types, who are already well-off and directly benefit from a castrated government and fewer rules. The type of guy who thinks speed limits are cramping his style.

I believe AMD outperforms Intel when you're targeting mobile performance/battery life, rather than "moar CPU" workloads. Though that might change now that Intel is using their own approach to performance cores. Still, given the last decade of Intel development, they don't exactly have my trust that they'll execute performance cores without serious hiccups.

Yep, this is a great article, but that section (the whole "Rust Isn’t Finished" section) jumped out as a place where there were some simple ways he could have made his life easier. It could also have been a failure of the Rust community to teach a good workflow.

You don't need to force every contributor to upgrade every six weeks in lockstep, since releases of Rust and std are backwards compatible. Upgrade at your leisure, and run tests in CI with the minimum version you want to support. If you're doing something crazier that requires ABI compatibility between separate builds (or you just want consistency), you can add a `rust-toolchain` file that upgrades the compiler on dev machines automatically, as seamlessly as Cargo downloads new dependency versions.
Give credit where it's due:

fly.io spends a tremendous amount of time on creating interesting technical content that attracts this type of attention. The company is intentional about this as a customer acquisition strategy. They have an illustrator on staff for their unique art style, for example. Their founder and senior technical staff engage with these posts and answer questions, etc.. It's not YC favoritism, it's a deep understanding of the developer first mindset / ecosystem and targeting it as a company strategy.
Recently I built a new PC, and after having Nvidia driver issues for years on my old PC, I decided I'd go AMD instead.

After at least 10 years using Linux, I'm back to Windows.

The main issue I had was a very intermittent flicker on my screen when I'm on 144Hz. This happened on Wayland and X11. Almost every single distribution had this issue; OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch (and derivatives), Debian, PopOS.

The only distribution where this wasn't a problem was Ubuntu which worked great for a while, but I updated and had a few issues. Also, realised after briefly trying other distributions that Snaps were really slow, so I just couldn't stay with Ubuntu. I tried disabling Snaps, but then the store broke and the non-snap store kept crashing (I generally install software via terminal but it's nice to browse and see what's out there occasionally).

Oddly, I've found Windows 11 mostly okay - at least I have no flicker at 144Hz.
What are the main reasons for not shipping to other EU / EEA countries?
Would it be reasonable to test the waters with a survey or some form of group buy campaign? For example, if at least ~5k people preorder an ortholinear input cover for ~$200 you will produce one. (Or whatever numbers are required for you to break even.)

And of course if the campaign fails then you can at least say you tried.
In that vein, but I've been reading a book that synthesizes John and Teresa and the gospels. It had a few gems that stood out to me recently. On the importance of voiding oneself of all: "He is not only beyond all things, but boundlessly beyond them. Created realities are... more unlike God than like Him.... However impressive may be one's knowledge or feeling of God, that knowledge or feeling will have no resemblance to God and amount to very little."
The high cars have the other downside of minimizing visibility around intersections when parked at corners. Pedestrians can't see cars coming and the cars can't see pedestrians coming. Usually the cars also can't see bikes coming down the road either.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
This just plasters over the underlying problem, which in case of Rust is IMO that features that should go into the language as syntax sugar instead are implemented as generic types in the standard library (exact same problem of why modern C++ source code looks so messy). This is of course my subjective opinion, but I find Zig's syntax sugar for optional values and error handling a lot nicer than Rust's implementation of the same concepts. The difference is (mostly): language feature versus stdlib feature.

Yes, at the um scale and below it does happen, and such concentrating effects can really change it from a non-issue to a serious problem, depending on how chemically active the contaminant is.

TFA: "Yet despite all the new knowledge about microplastics and the even tinier nanoplastics, smaller than a millimeter, that enter the human body through ingestion or inhalation"

Microplastics are apparently taken as being a mm or larger, and 'nanoplastics' are anything smaller than a mm which is still very large. The ones you are talking about would be very much smaller than those by another 3 orders of decimal magnitude.
No matter what the subreddit is, it’s full of radically far left political comments. They get upvoted and any attempt to provide reason gets downvoted.

With the other languages the apps on my machine are built with (C, and to a large degree Python) I have the benefit of the distribution maintainers at least looking in the general direction of the source for things I install (including development libraries.) Tools like Cargo shortcut that and open me up to a lot of nastiness. It's very similar to the problem on Windows really and I wouldn't be surprised if you started seeing malware disturbed that way like we're currently seeing on NPM and Pypi.

It doesn't even have to get that far. I have low-level manager friend who's being pressured into leading "mandatory fun" events by his team. He hates that kind of thing, but if he doesn't do it his team will complain (not specifically about mandatory fun, but vaguer morale things) and it will look bad.

In a slightly different direction than consumption, if you're worried about inhaling plastic particles:

I haven't personally gotten the equipment to do actual measurements yet, but I keep pet rats and they have pretty fragile respiratory systems, and anecdotally when I put together a Corsi Rosenthal Box[0] and stuck it next to their cage their allergies/sneezing pretty much entirely vanished.

I still need to get air quality measuring equipment and more objectively confirm that it's working, but the research I have read suggests that spending ~$100 to put together a DYI box with good MERV13 filters or higher will solidly outperform the majority of commercial consumer-grade air purifiers out there. And subjectively, I do notice a difference in air quality, although that could be a placebo effect.

Regular vacuuming will also help a lot with dust and micro-particles, but that's a lot more work than just plugging in a box fan.

Permission is no more required to use faces than it is to sing names.

You can feely sing about McDonald's hamburgers, dress as Ronald McDonald in a music video, or do both at the same time.

Permission only comes into the equation when there's a likelihood of a party believing they're conducting business with a party which they are not (fraud by misrepresentation).

To put it more simply; selling burgers dressed as Ronald McDonald is a bad idea. Selling a song under the name "Eminem" while deepfaking Eminem is a similarly bad idea. Using someone's likeness artistically is, by default, absolutely fine.

I feel the pain of internet vices.

What worked for me recently (for the last 4 months only - so can't claim victory yet) was exercise and a goal (so I don't bail).
Decided to run a half marathon. Found a training plan where I run 5 days a week.

- Now I have to get up at 7am (Before: 8.55am for 9am start)
- If I don't get to bed by 11:30pm I feel lousy running (Before: 2-4am bedtime)
- And it makes me shower and eat breakfast (Before: no shower, no food)

It's basically added a bunch of structure to my day, which has really helped with work
I mean, this sort of craving for "no rules" stems directly from a stretch of a very, very comfortable life.

This is pretty disingenuous don't you think? In the same book a few chapters later we read:

> Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
John 20:24-25

If that's not encouraging engaging with doubt I don't know what is.

> If that's not an effort to restrict doubt, then what is?

I can tell you that 1 + 1 = 2 and you can still doubt me. Just because you doubt me it doesn't make that statement any less true. Also, me stating that fact isn't me restricting doubt, it's just me stating a fact. If Jesus was God, and what He says here is true, He's stating a fact.
