This is going to terrify people just like stories about infant mortality from COVID terrified people. But the article is talking about infections of 1,000 children across 35 countries. These stories shooting to the front page over and over is giving a distorted view of reality that didn’t exist before social media.
Popular in production = hard to get mostly. Eg you can get STM32G030 and similar at quite normal prices at LCSC (and thus JLCPCB assembly service, highly recommended over hand soldering BTW). OTOH stm32f030 (older and 2x worse in most respects) are way overpriced.

In addition to various esp32s (which have very decent sdk) you can easily get rp2040. You can also get a number of Chinese chips other than esp32 but good luck programming these.
You didn't appear to read my comment, I'm talking about compatibility with Rust and all these other look alike languages.

Also your Vala comparison would imply this language compiles to C++.
I think the overwhelming majority of people on HN (and possibly elsewhere) would prefer if they could just have a homepage that was just reverse chronological ordered videos from their subscriptions, with a separate "Discover" tab, with no interference from their algorithm.

This thread might prove an excellent case study for YouTube. I was subscribed to all of the channels I listed and a few more along the same lines; my recommendations have never shown me videos from some of the other channels people have posted in this thread or in reply to my own post. If you want a good recommendations system, this thread has been better than YouTube's algorithm for discoverability on these kinds of topics.

I can't imagine anyone is actually happy with how YouTube works on this front.
This is a trick that makes the experience of writing C and C++ code much better: Skip the header files and include the .c or .cpp files into one translation unit instead.

* No more code duplication every time you change the type or name of a function.

* Fewer files and less code.

* Tab completion works better for the file names (you don't have two files that start with the same name)

* Only one place to put the comment if you want to document the function (otherwise the comments are easy to miss if there is a description in the header file but I'm looking at the definition).

* The code usually compiles faster.
Author of openat2(2) here, yes it would (as well as protecting against races where the target directory is having path components changed to symlinks during extraction). RESOLVE_IN_ROOT would be more akin to extracting in a chroot(2). But you would need to be careful how you deal with path operations in the rest of the program in a way that is fairly easy to mess up.

I've been working on a userspace library[1] which would make writing userspace programs that interact with these kinds of dangerous paths more safe (though it's been on the backburner recently).

From a non-expert: is there any reason (other than consumer packaging and polish) that a system like this couldn't be rolled out immediately, with ICANN as the default provider?
It's a strawman because one doesn't have to want people to sit at home all day in order to advocate UBI.

An advocate might disagree (rightly or wrongly) that UBI will necessarily lead to people sitting at home all day.

An advocate might agree that some people sitting at home all day is a possible undesirable outcome of UBI, but might be willing to tolerate that risk in order to achieve some other outcome that they consider more important. that doesn't mean they want that outcome; just that they are willing to tolerate it if it happens, as long as the expected benefits are also possible.

An advocate might even agree that some people sitting at home all day is a necessary and undesirable consequence, but be willing to tolerate it, in order to achieve another desirable outcome.

All of these positions are logically possible for a rational person to hold, so long as they don't know them to be wrong. None of them require that person to desire people to sit at home all day.

Therefore we cannot conclude from UBI advocacy that the advocate desires people to sit at home all day, which means that claiming they must is a strawman.
Probably upwork. https://www.upwork.com/

I've used it a few times and it's pretty solid.
Exactly. Perhaps one of the biggest barriers slowing down solutions to problems caused by demographic collapse = people not being willing to discuss demographic collapse merely because some racist/religiously extreme groups refer to demographic shifts in some of their arguments.

Just because hitler self-identified as a vegetarian doesn't mean that other people who self-identify as vegetarians condone Hitler's views.
Track down a syntax-aware code search/database tool (if your IDE doesn't have one). For me it was/is GNU ID Utils. At some point you'll be handed thousands or millions of lines of someone else's code, and you will need to find things quickly and completely.

Also, turn on all compiler warning flags all the time. Some compiler warnings aren't triggered unless optimization is enabled, so turn that on every now and then during development and see if any warnings pop. If you're handed thousands of lines of someone else's code and it's riddled with warnings, fix them first.
For example, when you look at a world map under the Mercator projection and you want to know where the north and south poles should be on the map, the answer is +∞ and –∞, which are not the same.
I thought that the entire goal was to retire early and do whatever you want after. Did that somehow change over the past 30 or so years?
For someone who lives in a different country without this type of tax - is the amount paid directly proportional to the assessed value? (Ie tax is 0.1% of value, or whatever) Or is the value just used to decide the relative amounts of tax each house pays? (ie there's $100m in property tax raised, split over all the properties proportionally to their value).
They sure print like they do and the pentagon has a $35 trillion accounting inaccuracy. [1] We don't even know what this stuff costs us in the end.

So you aren’t actually open to new information, that’s disappointing but unsurprising. I get your stance but again papers aren’t textbooks.

O well, there’s a reason science advances one retirement at a time.
Can you elaborate how you feel returning a kid to their own home is "kidnapping"?

Given I am Canadian, here is our legal definition:

Kidnapping

279 (1) Every person commits an offence who kidnaps a person with intent

(a) to cause the person to be confined or imprisoned against the person’s will;

(b) to cause the person to be unlawfully sent or transported out of Canada against the person’s will; or

(c) to hold the person for ransom or to service against the person’s will.

You could argue the child did not want to be sent back home, but I think you would not be successful making this case in a court of law.

Escalating this by reporting her to the police will simply cause her to escalate back.

She reports you to CAS, you report her to the police. You now face a false police report charge, and if anything further happens you already have one strike against you as the police will document this interaction.

Clearly the child is in no danger, so what was the point of calling the police?
Fortunately all of this is eliminated with EVs: much less brake dust (regenerative braking), no combustion, no catalytic converters, no oil leaks.

All that's left is tire wear, potentially a little higher due to increased typical weight of EVs and faster acceleration.
Age Encryption in Python with Pyrage
So much this, really helps breakup complex tasks. Some examples off the top of my head:

If you have a function handling user sign up it often needs to build and write to multiple db tables. Split this into two functions a pure one that outputs the entities, and a second which takes these and handles writing them to a db inside a transaction. First the code is super simple to read, but more importantly it's easy to unit test since you don't need to mock anything, just make a list of input combinations paired with a list of expected outputs. Spend more time testing your business logic, less time verifying that postgres is working.

Transforming HTML into a pdf is trivial if you first iterate over the html and output a list of instructions that then get fed into a writer function one at a time, similar to how 3d printer instructions work.

Anytime I've done analysis work on a state that gets updated by a complex series of events it's always been worthwhile to build a discrete handler for each event type, then feed the events into it like a woodchipper. Complex problem solved with simple functions and a case statement.

Correct.

And as and user who does not understand, nor have the resources to meaningfully inspect, all the king's software and all the king's bugs, the end result is exactly the same: Good, old-fashioned analogue trust (GOFAT? to coin a phrase?) in the elves that make my computer run.
ZeroMQ [1] - it's sockets on steroids.

I've used it to do distributed load testing using a small javascript program, a script written in python to cache aggregated results for a big database and as a transport for high performance messaging in a c++ framework.

Being able to do distributed computing without having to rely on a single framework or setting up lots of additional infrastructure is really useful!
Time shifting of existing needs is probably the most effective use.

Do you have hot water storage? Time it to run down and recharge when you have excess. There are commercial products that do this semi-automatically. You can also get hot water taps that replace tea kettles that work on a similar principle.

If you have air-con or electric heating then run it to store heat and/or cool in a thermal mass.

Organise your day to run washing machines etc. at those times.

Phase change of water to ice can shift cooling loads if you have warm nights.

Plus electrify anything you have that currently burns fuel.
If the appeal reviewer feels targeted by that accusation then they deserve it.

Those less dense would understand that the thing being called dense is whatever system made the initial accusation and resulting ban (i.e. Twitter as a whole) and not the random support person processing the ticket who the user has no way of knowing and has never interacted with.
I would have thought that the hole will just collapse onto the drill?!

No way you’ll just wash out the rubble!

And that there would be WAY too much friction to insert a long metal tube in the end. Also, that metal tube would need to bend while being pushed through?! That’s massive friction, impossible to overcome, I would have thought.

Honestly I still think that I have not yet fully understood how this works and I am missing parts of the picture. Because it still seems impossible.
Code doesn’t have to be a mess
Would be curious to know what strategies other people apply in order to keep complexity down over time!
When Dad told me the "fusion is always been twenty years away" joke, Brezhnev was still alive then, too.
You don't have to involve yourself with the social-media side of YT at all, though. It is optional. I curate my subscription list and don't browse any discover-type feeds or anything and only see content from channels to which I am subscribed. I block comments sections using a browser extension. I don't watch "shorts". As far as the social media aspect of the site goes, if one ignores the comments and algorithmic content (which isn't always horrible anyway but is certainly optional) you can easily curate a good experience for yourself.
> I fail to see how praising the opponent differs from an ad hominem fallacy except in tone: addressing the interlocutor instead of the issue still fails to address the issue.

The ad hominem fallacy is meant to end discussion by attacking the interlocutor. This approach is meant to facilitate discussion by fostering a positive relationship with the interlocutor; the positive relationship is a means, not the end.

> statistically and therefore substantively insignificant

This is not what statistical significance implies. This misunderstanding, and its inverse, leads to the very errors for which you criticize the "nudge" papers.

More to the broader point, "set defaults intelligently" in fact implies the ability to "shape peoples' behavior at the margins." Otherwise, why bother thinking about them?

That's why what is actually at issue with "nudges" is effect size & context: how much of a difference can we have, and where?

And to that question, this paper provides little insight. It aggregates too much & ignores real-world policy evidence.

Now, it's still a good paper - people have gone WAY overboard with nudges in silly places - it just needs to be understood as "let's reign in expectations" and not "this field is bunk"
What are your thoughts on OPCUA? That's the direction they're trying to get to having different vendors be able to talk to each other as it's all pretty much federated.
> ...maybe if didn't work so hard to make our socity into a hypercompetitive hellhole intelligent and educated people would also start having more children!

If they're so educated and intelligent, why don't they opt out of that?
Hard to imagine a local city has the funds available to just buy up property.

I’m also not sure “punishing” (well now you have to buy it) local municipalities results in better governance.

Also sounds like an invite for corruption. Evaluate high, sell to the city… now the locals are all on the hook.
I need to see the papers you're reading about this. I've never seen anything scientific suggesting this is true, and if anything, it's the complete opposite: we need to eat plants instead, because it would actually reduce burdens on arable land while reducing overall GHG emissions.

In North America the average farm is using massive amounts of inputs from other farms. Whether it's grass or grains, these inputs from from conventional farms using fertilizers and irrigation that we could be putting into human-friendly crops. That's an insane waste of energy and resources.

Sure there are farms using fewer inputs from arable land, and that's great. Perhaps those are the only ones which should raise livestock. The rest should stop, because the inefficiency comes with externalities our countries and the world literally cannot sustain.
Surprisingly good article, including advice that can be used. This sort of article is usually a litany of complaints, with no actions to be taken other than "be artful about variables", which isn't something that just happens, and is rather mysterious.
There is no way to gather such a data set. There is no mass surveillence system which tracks where cyclists are cycling, and how many hours.

Let's look at just the sidewalk versus road issue: if you could surreptitiously place GPS tags on random cyclists, the GPS system does not have the accuracy to tell whether the cyclist is on the sidewalk or road.

Up to 25% become completely seizure free.

> We are rushing towards a future where all of our food, water and energy is grown/harvested/generated/distributed by AI-driven machines. The number of people on the planet who will know how those AIs actually work will be minuscule.

Horseshit in the press emanating from marketing departments aside, there is no such thing as AI, and nobody has any idea how to make an AI system. Don't believe the hype.
I'd at least want to see a "Big Macs free all day" exploit to make it worthwhile.
They definitely see Go as direct competition, or did at various points. Some of the work that was done in Python 15 years ago is now done in Go, mostly because of its superior support for highly-parallel workloads; so Python developers have reacted and improved the parallelization story in various ways (yes, it's still not as good as it could be, but it's undoubtedly better than it was when Go took a significant bite off the ecosystem).

As for Java and C#, it is a fact that all of them joustle for the backend market together with Python. Java and C# were there first and have massive commercial backing pushing them, but Python has slowly carved a larger and larger role on the back of technical merit. As long as it continues to do that, I don't think you need to worry.
AtR isn't so much a post-apocalypse in the usual total-collapse-of-civilization sense. It's post collapse of the US government really so technology, trade, and some infrastructure still exist. There's still a relatively strong remnant of the US around but they only hold sway in the north east and [0] some across Ohio extending as far as Missouri.

As for cooperation there's a lot of that going on throughout Texas but there's also groups with very different ideas about what a good nation would look like and some are willing to use force to bring their ideas into being. That ultimately feels quite realistic to me. Pockets of cooperation that have to defend themselves from uncooperative elements.

I just googled "Casablanca" intending to check my recollection that Casablanca is a city on the Moroccan coast.

Of course all the results (but one) are about the film or the surprising number of local businesses named Casablanca. Apparently the film is being shown in a local artsy theater tonight. Maybe I should go, I haven't seen the whole thing yet.
That thing makes a Toughbook look fragile.
There's also the fact that there's only about six inches of dirt here, dig any deeper than that and you hit solid limestone. That's why none of the houses here have basements.
Tire dust is half of it, though. It can be reduced by shipping cars with high-efficiency tires instead of high-performance tires.
There's a pretty cool experience to have that I learned from attending Burning Man that they call taking a "space walk". You basically just start walking towards the horizon away from the main camp. As you get further away leaving the noises and lights of the event behind you, you just become eneveloped in the silence and darkness with the only thing visible are the objects in the sky.

You can probably do something similar at a lot of dark sky places, except the vast flatness in the desert means you can walk in a long way in a straight line without interruption. This just adds so much to the being alone experience

Scientists and doctors that warned about the health costs of lockdowns on children were cancelled. We really need to set up a Ministry of Ministry of Truth. /s

> No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them. However hard it had been to get the fifteen-day shutdown approved, getting another one would be more difficult by many orders of magnitude.

Dr Birx from her book.

But she's far from the only one to blame.
I disagree; property taxes make sense for certain specific things that are tied directly to the property itself.

For example, if you want police, fire department, schools, sewage and water supply, etc., it makes sense to tie that taxation to your house directly since those are features and benefits of where you choose to live.

What's happening in Texas with valuations seems absolutely mind-bogglingly stupid though. When you have neighbors with identical lots and similar single family homes valued 200k+ difference in property valuation, there's a problem.
But the relevant question is, how efficient are equivalent modern lasers? NIF was built in the early 2000s and laser technology has advanced quite a bit in the past couple decades.

I found this sentence (emphasis mine):

> This emulator is done in the context of my work on reverse engineering 3D printers

in the README of the repo, right there on the page being linked to, pretty much at the top of the README.

Given that it is an STM32 emulator, developed specifically for reverse engineering 3D printer firmware, I suppose it can be used for reverse engineering how a specific 3D printers firmware decodes a file format then?
Lots of people are interested in replacing C++. They disagree about what the replacement should be, to some extent because what they think is wrong with C++ can be quite different.

This is a team of people with serious C++ backgrounds, who explicitly are interested in this as a successor to C++. Some of these are people who worked on P2137 which is the "Goals and priorities" paper that the committee explicitly rejected for C++ 20, so they know what they think C++ should be, and they know WG21 doesn't want that, so if they do want it they're going to need a separate vehicle to get there.

Also they're far from finished, so there's the attraction that Carbon could be whatever it is you want, while something like Rust has decided what it is.
The key thing here is that those bison were eating grasses and leafy greens from the wild, not from extensive grass and grain farming operations (all of which largely exclude other plant, animal, and insect life). 30 million bison roaming and grazing makes sense, but sustaining them largely off of conventional farm outputs isn't the same thing.
