A C data structure is never a disaster of "thread unsafety" if, like most data structures, you don't use it across threads. Any Rust data structure which is Send and Sync, translated literally into C, is just as safe in C to read (or write in the rare cases &Structure is mutable) across threads, and create in one thread and destroy in another. It's only thread-unsafe if used in a thread-unsafe manner (and all Rust adds for non-multithreaded data structures is checks to prevent users from mutating across threads, though its pattern of "one handle per thread" is helpful for structures designed to be mutated across threads).

And C is not a dick-and-leg removal device, it's a direct representation of runtime semantics (aside from signed integer overflow which is avoidable, type-based alias analysis which is rare, etc.), and any sound Rust code which doesn't transmute types can be compiled into equally UB-free C code, and even Rust which commits UB by violating SB (many unsafe libraries) can be transpiled into UB-free C code as long as you don't use `restrict` when inappropriate. Rust is merely a possible way to organize a program to avoid UB, to be followed when helpful (RAII, catching use-after-free in application logic, avoiding reference counting errors, multithreading) and replaced when it impedes writing low-level code. It's not a religion where apostasy is punished by castration.

I'm criticizing Stacked Borrows because I've seen more than enough evidence that it's an unreasonably stringent memory model for writing unsafe code. Please stop putting words in my mouth and misrepresenting my positions as profanity-laced straw men, like "not giving a single shit about correctness".
IMO the only good option for a manufactured home at this point is to drop it on a nice piece of acreage out in the sticks. No pesky zoning or NIMBY problems, and you can spend your money on the land instead.
A paper pass won’t tell her when the plane is ready to board, or whether to go left or right. Registering for the display board is done at the airport, they offer you the option and you scan your pass and look at the camera. That’s it.

I’m not saying don’t offer an app, but it baffles me that you think they should not offer this.
At the expense of excessive verbosity. I used xml and still do to this day and it is one of my least favorite formats to read and edit.
I think most reasonable people are sensitive to this, that’s why I strongly advocate for a tech utopian vision of the future rather than some sort of back to nature idea
What's wrong with a PVC toilet flange?
It tracks via motion detectors, not facial recognition. I’m not totally sure but it seems the facial recognition is just part of the initial authorization step.

So it’s not reading your face in front of the display to determine what to show, but rather you scan your pass and verify your identity, then walk around the airport where it tracks your position to keep track of who you are and where, and when you then stand in front of this display it knows where you are relative to the display which can deliver a directionally targeted image to your eyes.
Yes, the glory days of nice keyboards and SD slots! At least the keyboard issue has been fixed...
The populations in those areas used to be far lower, and temperatures were lower during the "Little Ice Age", which covers much of that period.

People just put up with it, or adopted appropriate traditions such as siestas during the hottest periods of the day. We also adapt to conditions remarkably quickly, and are physically capable of surviving far outside what we normally consider comfortable. When visiting the south, it's not uncommon to see people complaining of cold in 60F weather which is quite comfortable to northerners, who start to complain about heat past 70F.

Building materials and styles of construction were different - before modern transportation and logistics, you couldn't build exclusively with wood in areas with no trees and few rivers to float barges, and insulation was accomplished through thicker walls.

People used parasols, shawls, and other clothing to cover up and insulate their bodies rather than their entire surroundings. Swamp coolers have been known for thousands of years.
Not really sure what your point is. That these things are unimpressive? Agreed. It's just one lazy approach to a problem (multi-platform apps) that's not easy to solve. Webviews are a cheap way to get there.
And if the system is not properly re-tuned some of the time, like most tech that requires precision, could it happen that it shows the information exactly 5° next to you, but never to you?

> wasp queens (hornet and wasp are basically synonyms)

While you are correct in your usage of “wasp queens” when talking about hornets, it’s because hornets are a type of wasp. It’s important to know the distinction if you share a habitat with both, though (even if just to know what type of nest is growing under your awnings).
What side are you referring to?

I don’t believe I’m on a side other than that of democracy?

Is that controversial?
So? If you take a phenomenon that occurs everywhere, add a classist school system to it, and observe that it still occurs exactly the same way as before, how do you conclude "This is a result of the school system!"?
I agree! A video could definitely help, and I will try to change the display of the instructions on small screens.
My intention was the opposite. By pointing out the $500 being reasonable, meaning that the insurance company negotiated a decent price.

Obviously, the $12k is ludicrous, proven by them being willing to accept $500 for people who belong to an insurance plan.

Health insurance in the US is not just insurance against a one time high cost event. One aspect of it is paying a business to gain access to lower pricing due to volume that you would be unable to get as an individual, which seemingly this person’s insurance plan did.
For 100 pounds of coal, the bulk buyers paid less than $5, typically $2-3. That’s hardly worth the hassle for them.
Grow up. People are different than you. You don't know their life and you obviously haven't experienced enough of the world to recognize how difficult it can be for some mothers to get enough sleep to function. Especially if she is recovering from a difficult pregnancy and/or delivery. Add to that the high incidence of post-partum depression and losing sleep can be all the more damaging.

As our very pro-breastfeeding lactation consultant wisely told us with our first child, "Breastfeeding is best, but your child will benefit so much more from a mentally well and rested mother."
Those Honka houses do look really impressive, but the national average cost per square meter to build a home in the US is approximately €400 which is 4x less expensive than the stated costs on honka's site.

Depends on how much attention one was paying during their data structures and algorithms lectures, and if the language also has support for value types, manual memory management and trailing lambdas or not.
Scratch was my introduction to programming. I was already a computer nerd, but had never programmed before. This was in the mid 2000s.

Now I'm in the industry and so are 15% of my classmates from that time.

Without going to much into it I thought Zero Trust is some new funky cryptographic way of eliminating the need for trust in some interaction between parties.

You likely have that information on a card in your hand anyway. It's a minor increase in the ability for this information to leak, but it's hardly private information.
Yep. The decline of humanity will be at the hands of greater spotted fucking moron, of which Chris Landis is clearly a prime example of the species.

You can have both. But really the entire planet works on making negative side effects of solving a problem someone else's problem and this spans from globalisation of supply chains to energy supply. This attitude just enables it.

People needs to start looking at local self-sufficiency of energy and materials to some degree.
Seems a punitive tax on the entrepreneurial middle class. Such fixed costs might be insignificant for a palatial home. At the other end, large-scale developers know all about negotiating discounts and otherwise offloading costs.
Ask HN: What is the best metrics for open-source startups
A large and engaged developer community can be instrumental in building a successful open-source startups. Thanks to Github, it is possible to assess the popularity of repositories (by stars &forks). One the most interesting developments in that field is ROSS Index: the top open-source startups by their star growth. https://runacap.com/ross-index/

What other battle-tested metrics for open-source startups can be valuable?

Yea, and this is basically just yet another way for them to extract that information. Add it to the list… but having one more option does make it easier in case the person doesn’t have a luggage tag, opted for a digital boarding pass, or reasonably refuses to give their first name when asked. Just because there are other ways to do something doesn’t make extra ways moot. If you have multiple authentication methods your security is only as strong as the weakest one, and the same concept applies here in terms of the information being leaked. Having more attack surfaces increases the attack surface.
Nice 3 story home.

It looks to be in an unpopulated area. Building offsite using prefabricated elements would make sense even it it were quite costly, because getting builders and tradies out to a wop-wop location to do an on-site build would be even more expensive.
If someone else is too close to me, couldn't that person's feed block mine?
What about groups of people travelling together, standing together? Which person's feed gets priority?

Also, there's the chance that I'll meet up with someone I know that I usually keep polite relations with, but which I may not want to share my itinerary with.
It is not reasonable that I should be avoiding them on the floor just to keep them away from reading my feed.
Many sites do this very intentionally, including Facebook. Look sometime at the markup on their "sponsored" disclosures

>The Texas power grid failed in the winter, not the summer.

It could fail this summer due to insufficient capacity relative to demand. Alerts and calls for conservation have been provided starting last week, this time the lion's share of the increased risk can be attributed to air conditioning alone.

This occurred for a different reason in the winter because it got so unusually cold that the nominal water content of the natural gas froze in critical places within the delivery system and the gas could not be provided to the gas-fired electrical power plants. Unprecedented electrical climate-control demand was also a factor then.

When we were freezing in the dark with nothing but electrical heaters and no electricity, I didn't know how the traditional homes having natural gas connections fared. Nobody has gas lights any more but plenty still have gas heating & cooking. Natural gas is also often supposed to fuel household emergency generators, maybe they were OK to some extent. Liquified propane is a much more expensive alternative fuel gas and that's stored on site, but it could also possibly become obstructed by ice if it gets cold enough.

One thing about the way natural gas burns and electricity is made.

Traditionally it takes enough gas to heat 3 homes in order to produce the electricity to heat one home.

Regardless of price.

Not all of the energy from the gas is recovered either way, and after the electricity is delivered to the residence it is converted to heat more efficiently than gas but it's too late then to say there is a favorable comparison overall.

This leaves gas heat still less environmentally detrimental compared to electrical heat when the electricity is from a gas fired plant.

Pricing between these options when available can be expected to exaggerate uncertainties when comparing apples to oranges so there is that. Your pricing may vary, greatly.

Then there's the traditional thing about the way electricity heats and the way it cools.

Once you've got the electricity and you want to use it for temperature control, then it takes about 4 times as much electricity for an air-conditioner to make it one degree cooler than it takes for an elecric heater to make it one degree hotter.

Those electric heaters are wicked efficient on an electrical kWh basis.

But if you're on batteries you could easily conclude that any electric climate control is out-of-the question.

The remaining math can be derived from your own personal situation, and most often it can reveal why air-conditioning was considered nothing but a luxury item for so many generations until consumption got completely out-of-control.
To be honest I’m just bot willing to spend money on another product of yours.

This especially if it’s a rehash of the same material (which maybe you missed in my previous comment, but I didn’t find to be high-quality).
The author is not at all confused.

She knows about a lot of what she doesn't know, and would need to know to be able to do what those around her do. She knows that the routes to obtaining key details are closed to her.
The prayer style probably owes a lot to Syrian Christian monks or Manichaeans
Long ago I worked at a massive plant that had its own power station (electricity and steam), fired by coal.

It had its own rail line to bring in coal. When you drove in you’d drive by a pile of coal about 50 ft high.

We got a tour of the power plant and it had recently been upgraded in terms of efficiency and emissions.

Pretty sure it’s been shutdown now.

Home construction styles are a major one. Modern homes are generally blocky and offer little protection from the sun. They have large exposed exterior walls on the east and west side so that you have less than a foot of material protecting the interior from the heat introduced by sunlight. And often larger windows which are nice for lighting, but offer no help when the sun bears down on the home.

Wraparound covered porches, or even a covered porch providing protection for at least the ground floor from being hit with direct sunlight makes a major difference in the temperature of a building.

Homes can be built like they are now because of air conditioning, and since they are designed with an assumption that AC will be available they are miserable places to be when the AC fails.
For those who might ever contemplate this, maybe you'd like to hear a bit from me. I've been both depressed life-long and have probably spent more time in such contemplation than virtually anyone else here. (I'm pretty happy now, so no need to worry.)

One of the worst things about this is the feeling that you can't talk to anyone about it, as the moment you do, you start having to take care of _them_ emotionally, at a time when you just can't. If you can afford it, a good therapist is an option--you pay them so you don't have to take care of them. How to find one? I don't know. Try several.

Here's some first aid. First, no one gets out of life alive. Usually, there's no need to hurry your demise, as you'll be dead soon enough. And as many have observed, subjective time accelerates. If you're 35, your life is more than half done anyway.

Second, before you take steps, try to remember a few things you always wanted to do. Do them first. I've always been partial to waterfalls. Mountains are great. Music festivals can be pretty cool. Go eat your favorite foods a few more times.

Third, if everything seems bleak, get wasted. Probably things will seem less urgent in the morning.

Longer term, try to find something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. That's the trifecta, but even one goes a long way. Worked for me.

Will your problems pass? Probably, but maybe not. The pain, though, will lessen.

What if you're dealing with someone else suicidal? Just listen and keep listening, without making yourself an emotional burden. If you can, do what a friend would do. There might come a moment, appropriate to the relationship, where you can let the person know that you'd be devastated if they killed themselves. (I think it's okay to exaggerate a bit on this point.)

Godspeed.

(I don't comment on HN, and likely HN prefers it that way. But this seems like an unusually important topic.)
Before electricity they had things like sleeping porches which were just like what the name implies. After electricity and before AC, they used an attic fans. These are giant belt driven fans with an electric motor that have a sort of trap door in front of them - usually with some sort of mesh covering the trap door (I’ve owned two houses in the southern US built in the early 1900s with these fans).

In the summer months, you’d open all the windows, open the trap door, and turn on the fan. Historical homes were also built with crank windows above the doors to also help increase circulation when the attic fan was on.

It’s also about what you’re used to. My grandparents keep their central AC on in the mid 80s - which to me is very uncomfortable but they are in their late 80s and this is what they’re used to.
Displaying a number sounds like some hello world popup exercise that you would do in Rust or Go. I don’t see why one not just jump right to the game-making, which Scratch is good at.

> This made dealing with Scratch far more complex and time-consuming than the logic of the game my kid was making, which is the exact opposite of what you want in a learning environment. I don't really want to focus on the idiosyncrasies of Scratch when teaching programming.

Printing “Hello World” and displaying a number is easy in languages like Java. Making a top-down shooter is not. So why does one usually do the print stuff rather than the top-down shooter stuff? Ain’t that also because of the idiosyncracies of your run of the mill general purpose programming languages?
That red-flagging was a whole mini-scandal in Canada. Turns out when you travel to the US, there is data sharing between customs and border patrol so if you've ever called/been involved with the police, that info is shared. So whoopsie, what should be considered private health information was shared with officials in another country without asking for consent first.
It's not perfect, but it's a lot more clean than fossil fuels.
Don’t overindex on anecdotes. Policing has problems but in general where police in America have retreated, crime has gone up.

JSON either has those (namespaces, extensibility) or the advantage is slight at best (comments, canonical form).

There is a real advantage of XML over JSON not mentioned though, which is its usefulness in annotating computer-readable data into an otherwise human-editable document. There's not a lot of these cases, and where they're at you're probably still better off using AsciiDoc, Markdown or even HTML instead, but those use cases are out there and JSON is awful for those.

I don't really agree with this. I think immigrants to the US integrate surprisingly well in all the ways that matter. Nearly all invasions of my personal space that happen in San Francisco are from people who are clearly not immigrants. If anything I think immigrants tend to be more cautious when interacting with non-immigrants.

It looks to me that China has decent relations with Russia, Mongolia, and even central asian Kazakhstan/Kirgisia/Tajikistan (of course there are some ethnic and economical tensions dragging this back, not to mention the issue of Uighurs who are related). China also has good relations with Pakistan.

Rich and powerful people have had gaudy things for centuries. Life was about power and material wealth was included in that.

I suppose these hypothetical, rhetorical questions are convincing to some, but the data on Nuclear power is pretty good.

How do you define "Clean"?

Deaths per watt? https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

Maybe there's no where to store waste? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_r...

Radiation from the waste though? "The current analysis indicates that the repository will cause less than 1 mrem/year public dose for 1,000,000 years"

Or maybe we're worried about a meltdown? Perhaps we could read up on Fukushima?

Well there, one person died from radiation, and 2000 from the evacuation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

The most at-risk individuals experienced a lifetime 1% increase chance of cancer. The rest were less that 0.5%. COVID had a bigger fatality rate initially.

let's compare that to the 20,000 people the wave killed. (The one that caused the meltdown).

These are good questions to ask, but there are, what, three total nuclear disasters to consider in modern history? And of those, only the one in Russia caused deaths (plural) and true disaster. And of the horrific conditions, incompetent design, and complete mismanagement and deliberate lying, 30 people died total.

Fossil fuel pollution is responsible for (by some figures) 1 in 5 deaths worldwide. Enough.
