If you can afford a 10-50% across-the-board performance reduction, why would you not use a higher-level, actually safe language like Ruby or Python? Remember that the context of this article is Zig vs other languages, so the assumption is you’re writing new code.
Yup, still using pinboard. It’s cheap and easy to use with no maintenance which imo is expensive

That and Asahi Linux (which similarly only targets hardware with good Rust support). The developer who has been working on reverse engineering the Apple Silicon GPU seems to be very seriously considering writing the linux kernel driver in in Rust.
Same. I don't even use the citation features of Zotero, it's purely a bookmark manager for me. I can choose whether to save the page with or without a snapshot, use both folders and tags for organization, add notes if I want to, and on supported sites (like Github), get an automatic bookmark summary too.

The interface took a bit of getting used to, but I learned some of the shortcuts, installed Zutilo [1], and ultimately just accepted the fact that I'll have to use the mouse for some things, as everything else about the program makes it worth it.

This will put NY more in line with some Blue states such as Washington State.

As has been pointed out by others the NY law was arbitrary. The local law man decided if you were worthy of getting a concealed permit. This would be like if the local law man decided if area women were worthy to be allowed an abortion.

The US would be better with fewer guns, but this was a badly written law.
If you support drug legalization for responsible users, we're on the same page.
The headline feature of rustc memory management is the use of arenas: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/10f4ce324baf7cfb7ce2b...

//! The arena, a fast but limited type of allocator.
//!
//! Arenas are a type of allocator that destroy the objects within, all at
//! once, once the arena itself is destroyed. They do not support deallocation
//! of individual objects while the arena itself is still alive. The benefit
//! of an arena is very fast allocation; just a pointer bump.

The other thing (not specifically mentioned in this comment, but mentioned elsewhere, and important to understanding why it work the way it does) is that if everything in the arena gets freed at once, it implies that you can soundly treat everything in the arena as having exactly the same lifetime.

You can see an example of how every ty::Ty<'tcx> in rustc winds up with the same lifetime, and an entry point for understanding it more, here in the dev guide: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/memory.html

However, arena allocation doesn't cover all of the dynamic allocation in rustc. Rustc uses a mixed strategy: there's both RAII and lots of arena allocated context that only gets destroyed at the end of a particular phase.
I don't think anyone has ever suggesting that gun control prevents all forms of violent crime. Rather that gun control prevents gun crime by virtue of not providing access to the guns with which to commit said crimes.

My buddy is a manager at a chemical plant, and your comment reminds me of a very astute statement he made recently.

“I don’t generally like unions. I’ve worked at both union and non-union plants. But anytime someone else complains about unions, I remind them that if they have a union at their plant, they earned it.“
Yes, the copyright clause gives as its purpose "the progress of Science," but that doesn't mean that anything which claims to be "progress" gets a free pass.
I'd rather not use a 3rd party service. All I really need is the bookmarking UX already built into the browser but behind the scenes it captures the contents of the link (locally) and stores it against the bookmark. Bonus points if it asks where I want the bookmarks and their snapshots to be stored/synced to.

Does such a plugin exist?

that I can customize what I get notifications for. I can silence everything but mentions. So if there's an outage or someone has been waiting for a long while on something they can @ me, but if they just want to have a discussion publicly and let people review it at their leisure, they can do that as well.
Sadly, and devastatingly for the parent/child relationship, there are such creatures out there. As my dad said when I confronted him about it as an adult with kids of my own, "I guess I wasn't thinking. I couldn't help myself".

Once I had my first child I was holding and rocking him back to sleep after a late night feeding and I forced myself to imagine doing to him what my father did to me and it completely wrecked me. I just lost it. It was utterly impossible and horrifying to imagine doing that to any child, let alone my own. I thought it might help me at least gain some insight into him, however feeble, but it didn't... it made me feel an even deeper burning hatred for him and what he did. Pedophiles like he is are simply defective and need to be kept away from children lest they succumb to their urges.
Why?

Billions across the world would be incredibly happy with their kids getting to do something like this.

If you aren’t happy with a content child, sounds like you had children for all of the wrong reasons & would be a horrible, potentially abusive parent.
Of course it could, in any number of ways. No, you don't need coal or natural gas to serve as baseload. One could, for example, make hydrogen, store that underground, then burn that when renewables are not directly available. If renewables are very cheap, one could simply heat some large thermal mass (rocks, sand) by resistive heating, then use that later to drive a thermal cycle.

Babcock and Wilcox is commercializing a system like that second right now, using sand heated to 1200 C to store energy for 100 hours or more, with a round trip efficiency > 50% and a storage cost of maybe $0.05/kWh.
I don't see why it is a dumb objection. Word choice is important, especially for journalists trying to convey information to the general public and even more so when it comes to headlines - as the majority of people won't read the article to understand the nuance.

I genuinely think a decent number of people are going to envision a situation where satellites suddenly plunging out of orbit like they would in some big budget disaster movie. You are well within your right to tell them they are thinking of the word "plummeting" incorrectly but you are fighting an uphill battle. Technical and dictionary correctness has its place but to convey information properly people must consider the vernacular.
idk. Beer can range from 0.0% up to 12%. 5% Sake is not uncommon but you can easily find 20% sake. And then Sake bottles are not that much different from Vodka.

I think the difference is more in the consumption. It is hard to drink a lot of hard alcohol at once. You usually get more drunk over your consumption period. And—barring any behavior disorders—you can cease consumption. With weed it is easy to smoke a lot of really strong weed not realizing until too late that you’ve had more than you wanted.
> The central intuition in using T5 is that extremely large language models, by virtue of their sheer size alone, may still learn useful representations despite the fact that they are not explicitly trained with any text/image task in mind. [...] Therefore, the central question being addressed by this choice is whether or not a massive language model trained on a massive dataset independent of the task of image generation is a worthwhile trade-off for a non-specialized text encoder. The Imagen authors bet on the side of the large language model, and it is a bet that seems to pay off well.

The way out of this dilemma is to fine-tune T5 on the caption dataset instead of keeping it frozen. The paper notes that they don't do fine-tuning, but does not provide any ablation or other justification. I wonder if it would help or not.
Thank you for the correction! That point is made very clear here: https://polioeradication.org/polio-today/polio-prevention/th...

It is listed as both a pro (initially free vaccination for anyone that it gets transmitted to) and a con (once it mutates to become neurovirulent.

Now that I have some understanding of the limitations of the vaccines the idea that polio will actually be eradicated seems implausible unless we switch everyone over to the live form. I don't pretend to fully understand the subject, but the articles about cases of polio popping up seem to fit my mental model better than the one that expects to eradicate it.
Obviously, the reference to Lincoln was about him ignoring the Supreme Court and not a call to civil war. Your reading comprehension in this instance was quite bad.

One child was killed by jarts and they were banned. One person tried to blow up a plane with a shoe bomb and we all have to take off our shoes at the airport. But guns, let’s not ban those. Indeed let’s expand their prevalence.

If lethality and rate of gunfire being much higher today than 250 years ago is not a relevant point then why is it ok to ban machine guns? Shouldn’t I be able to protect my property with a tank or a flamethrower?

Pertaining to your comment on ink jet printers. When they are used for mass killings I’ll be willing to consider proposals for their regulation.
Hello, Thanks for taking question.

I was born and raised in Europe, on centimeters.

I like inches.

The mil unit is fantastic too; so nice for circuit board layout. 25 mil through hole, 100 mil pin spacing. Good for wire gauges. Guitar strings: 9 to 46, etc.

That’s a very common implementation of serverside GTM/GA in the EU. If you advertise, you’ll still be sending GCLIDs, though.
I am in the same boat… there is a serious lack of education. It’s like the pendulum has swung completely the other way from drug abstinence, and now there is tons of disinfo claiming weed is harmless and non-addictive when that’s not the true story.

I’m still in favor of legalization, but cannabis needs some of the regulations we apply to tobacco. Producers shouldn’t be able to make packaging that looks like a bag of skittles or a candy bar. There needs to be warnings on the packaging, informed consent when purchasing it, possibly even hotlines or pamphlets given out to help young people avoid addiction.
Have not seen any information to support this claim. Appears that his edits were public and he self identified via his Wikipedia profile.

Seeing as copilot is known to output code thats a straight copy from non-permissive code where the author's permission wasn't obtained ... I'd say it is helping you steal from code authors without giving back (as there is no obligation to open source your code).

Given Microsoft's record of persuing IP violations aggresively through the legal system, I'd say the whole thing is ironic.
Chmod Cheat Sheet
Do you have a plan to expose some high-level API endpoints? I have been dreaming about something like `run.colab.research.google.com/<notebook_url>?runtime=gpu` which executes a Colab notebook without human interference. This can be extremely helpful in CI/CD environments when you have a lot of notebooks to test, e.g. for https://github.com/probml/pyprobml.
If you convert a repo to SHA-256, then surely it will recalculate all the hashes back to the start, right? Otherwise that's not a conversion. And then new signatures will use a hash that's SHA-256 all the way down.

The old signatures will still be SHA-1. But if you try to replace any part of a commit, the SHA-256 won't match. So the combination of "the commit is an ancestor of multiple securely signed commits in this repo" and "the SHA1 on the signature matches" is enough to know you have the right data in most use cases.
Well, to be fair, most of that is probably just copying the a particular syntax or built-in function, which (I think?) has nothing to do with copyright.

At least for me, that's most of the copies I do, followed by the ones that basically are 'call these functions in order', then paste it as a comment and use it as cheat sheet, and only very rarely I copy a 'creative' snippet almost verbatim, like a regexp matching email addresses, a to-hex or a crc calculation. And perhaps that's actually tricky.
Loco.sh, Change Your Backgrounds
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid places with politics. If my current job didn't involve so much office politics then I would probably say I could coast here. But working on the politics is one of the more annoying parts and definitely takes up some time.
I haven't gotten such dismissive responses, but probably only because those I'm inclined to share such things with are the exact kinds of people who'd be blown away by them, and immediately grasp the significance.
If the usage was very clearly fair use, there'd be no need to be defensive about it; the case could be dismissed trivially. In reality, the question would need to be sorted out in court.

Questions of derivative works and fair use come up fairly frequently even in the open source world. This isn't solely a question of corporate lawyer posturing. I don't know any copyleft authors that would be okay with someone copying & pasting their code, making trivial changes, and saying it isn't a derivative work. Of course, their understanding of the law may be flawed. You'll get to find out in court.

You're right. A lot of this boils down to how much you want to spend in court proving your usage is just under fair use. We've moved beyond the question of ethics if you're intentionally violating a project's source license and relying on fair use to do whatever you want with the code. If you want to poke someone with a stick, you can't be surprised when they hit back. I contend what the OP described isn't clearly fair use (note I'm not saying that it clearly isn't fair use either). It ultimately doesn't impact me because I'm just not going to copy & paste code from projects without attribution and following the license, but I'd be worried about anyone reading that comment as objectively true.
This. It is a matter of (a) consent and (b) compensating people that, without their data, the model would be useless.
"When large numbers of black men walk around with AR-15s there will be calls for gun control."

Again, you show your complete ignorance of the American situation, except of course for some responses to the Black Panthers et. al. in the Black Power era. But what you're also lacking along with religious freedom citations is knowledge of any laws passed as a result. Reagan didn't just "call" for gun control, he signed a bill to outlaw open carry and maybe more in the statehouse or whatever.

Strange thing, but you've also missed how attitudes towards blacks and other minorities in the US have evolved in the half century since then.
Sounds like a manager's take on unions, at least he sounds somewhat reasonable. Good on him
SIXT (car rental) security breach
I'm sure you can guess how the email goes, so I will spare you most of the waffle and corporate-speak, I will just post the first paragraph.

==============
Dear customer,
we are writing to you today as a very valued customer of SIXT*.

As you have probably read in the press, cyber-attacks on European businesses and authorities are currently on the rise. Our business has also been the target of a criminal cyberattack. Despite comprehensive security measures, these attacks unfortunately cannot always be completely prevented, but at best contained. In this context, we would like to inform you today about a data incident.
============
Exactly, I hate the idea that software has to be constantly updated. That's how we end up with so many bloated messes that started out simple (cough dropbox cough). Pinboard is simple, and for my needs at least, perfect. If he kept it in maintenance mode forever, I'd be fine with that.

You're missing the point of stricter gun control laws. No one thinks that criminals will just "follow the laws" and give up their guns. The point is that the vast majority of armed criminals don't machine the weapons from the metal on their own. There is a supply chain, and some link in that chain are not criminals. Stricter regulations will impact that supply chain and make it harder for people to obtain guns who shouldn't have them. (It's also not "all or nothing"; we don't need to ensure that no criminals ever acquire guns. Any reduction in the number that do saves lives.)

Laws restricting public carrying of weapons aren't geared towards stopping career criminals, they're geared towards preventing injury and death caused by "lawful owners" accidentally, or intentionally but recklessly, firing their weapons in public, thinking they "needed to" or "should" do it. If someone wants to carry a firearm in public, it means they believe there is a situation where they will need to fire it in public. And as we know, humans are fallible and often think they "need to" do harmful things in situations where they don't. Those cases are what public carrying laws are intended to curb.

(BTW, most deaths due to firearms occur not by thugs/gangsters/career criminals, but by lawful and, prior to the incident, "responsible" gun owners making mistakes.)

> "For a blockchain to be optimally distributed, there must be a so-called Sybil cost. There is currently no known way to implement Sybil costs in a permissionless blockchain like Bitcoin or Ethereum without employing a centralized trusted third party (TTP). Until a mechanism for enforcing Sybil costs without a TTP is discovered, it will be almost impossible for permissionless blockchains to achieve satisfactory decentralization."

There is a difference between "Google does not censor anti-war content" and "Google does censor anti-war content, but usually has an excuse I find acceptable".

When a company puts Jon Lennon's Merry Xmas (War is Over) behind age restriction banner[1], the question stops being "Is there censorship?" and becomes about the logic of such censorship.

>The third one was temporary until Google stopped operating in Russia altogether.

They've censored other things on behest of the Russian government for years[2]. Again, I cannot fathom how people on a tech website like HN can be unaware of such things. This is common knowledge broadly covered on mainstream websites.

> Decriminalization and full legalization is what we need to combat the drug problem.

Do you mean the problem will solve itself naturally if we let them do all the drugs they want? Yes, that's true, but it is a very morbid way of going about solving the problem.
Absolutely this. You'd expect people to do that but what they do instead is pull the ladder through lobbying.

It's a good, and thought-provoking, question.

First to be flippant the idea of a software developer with that view sounds so unbearably insufferable and full of themselves I hope never to meet one. All code is terrible, be less attached.

Stream of consciousness: Should artists or writers be paid for what they produce? Yes. So why not software developers? I'm paid for what I produce. But then I don't release the stuff I'm paid for for free on the internet. But I'm against DRM, I also think Winnie the Pooh shouldn't have IP protection (now expired). What makes art or literature a different commons from software? I also think all scientific journals should be available for free. Do artists and writers have an alternative route to make money from what they publish, what is the artistic or writer equivalent of open source? I think this is the crux of it, if we're going to do open source let's actually do it and stop being precious about it but this only applies to freely-entered open source. So does that mean I support some form of copyright after all? Then again some old out-of-print books will sell for Amazon for like $4000 so we should be able to copy those for free.

Ultimately it's a question of what a vision for society without copyright would look like. I think software is uniquely placed to start exploring that idea. How would we make a living of software if anyone could reverse engineer (even our proprietary) code freely and safely?
