Agree 100% on the benefits of Rust generally, and the overall quality of the new breed of tooling that's being developed. I too strongly prefer things make in Rust.

That said, I still think "RustDesk" comes off kind of cheesy here. I think mostly because it's not a one-off utility where using Rust would be a primary factor, but it's high level enough that highlighting the implementation language so prominently comes off a little funny. Like you couldn't differentiate the product enough on its own so you had to highlight the language you used?

I will have a look at it, but in this example that's a very mild initial turnoff for me. I must be spoiled to be so picky!

Edit: after poking around a bit more, this looks pretty interesting. The intro "Yet another remote desktop software" would indicate that there's a lot of options out there, and they are trying to differentiate themselves. Maybe highlighting Rust in this case _is_ actually an important signifier of a stronger dedication to writing a lean application (I'll find out soon!). I'll retract some of my knee-jerk uninformed hesitance above.
No, they aren't. Storage position is mutually exclusive, if you choose so, but that's not a property of categories vs. tags.

E.g. the Library of Congress assigns books to several subject headings (categories) where applicable.
This might be more about declining production resources for maintaining ISS's orbit than anything political. Disconnecting their modules comes at a resource cost to them that they might not be able to afford (not just talking money), so they might just let them go dark. Not sure how well the rest of ISS can function, if at all, without the Russian modules in operation.
Probably like a lot of people, I thought I was a weirdo for always having subtitles on. I do it even when I'm listening on headphones which give me complete freedom to have the sound as loud as I want. It just makes things easier.
I'm not sure I'd say realistic per se, but Hearts of Iron 4's (WW2 grand strategy game) new logistics system is pretty good IMHO. You need to manufacture enough of each war machine (with the necessary raw materials), then handle supply through railways, supply hubs (and trucks/horses from then on, depending on terrain, type and number of divisions and of course if you have enough trucks) and convoys if supplying overseas.
Grammarly is easier to use than Emacs.
Not 100% open source, but a good solution for controlling my parent's laptop when they need a hand with something (they live in England, I live in Scotland) is to use ZeroTier to set up a VPN (installed it on their laptop when I had physical access to it, uses basically no system resources and just runs in the background automatically) and then use RDP built into Windows (I installed Windows 10 Enterprise on their laptop when I first set it up, have loads of MSDN keys from work).

Works really, really well and doesn't try to wrongfully block me for 'commercial usage' like Teamviewer does.
Most compiled languages have fractured build ecosystems, and may require some tricky invocation orders, external+not-included dependencies, or some funky flags depending on your compiler version. Or may just not work because you have the wrong compiler, missing their preferred build scripting runtime, etc.

NPM (packages) frequently go down, doesn't resolve packages, or just does something unexpected. Java has the Gradle/Maven split, C++ has a few extra common ones - Make/CMake, Autotools, Ninja, Meson, etc. Modern C# is the one that's got a similar scene to Go from what I've seen.

Go is simple and consistent. It adheres to the Zen of Python, particularly "There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.", better than Python itself does (IMO). You check out a repo, you run go build, and 90% of the time you have a binary. A 5 line Python script could automate this process, good luck doing the same with Java or C++.
For corporate cards (and I beleive gift cards and debit, no idea about privacy cards they didn't exist yet) when I wrote this sort of software way back you could identify by card ranges/format (that was the case in the past), just like how you identify if a card is Visa, Mastercard, Amex. A Visa subrange will be corporate, restricted purchase, etc. So for example, a trucker can have a corporate card that works to purchase gas outside but not the CStore inside.

If you know someone who write's merchant software they should be able to get you the ranges from their payment processor's specs.
The usage in Switzerland, South Korea, and other developed countries is very different. They use the bandwidth available.

Netflix and YouTube show us that many people want more bandwidth.

There would be no data caps if paying for bandwidth consumed.
I used to think exactly that. That those who were incapable of learning were simply just lazy. I eventually saw enough evidence to be convinced that raw intelligence is basically almost entirely genetic.

Certainly the businesses were not as smart as they thought they were, which is a common problem. But they indeed have very hard valuable problems and basically everyone involved was much smarter than the average person. Just not smart enough to know their own limitations and accept outside help.
> Personally, I haven't bought a single item from a Shopify store.

Unless you literally only buy from Amazon, you probably wouldn't be able to tell. They are white labeled. https://store.ui.com is one for example.
Well it's quite obvious isn't it? If you explain to the general population what it is and how it is used then I'd say most relate to criminal activity or tax avoidance.

Us tech-savvy we know there are probably a few privacy minded people using it honestly.
It’s no small irony that the simplest answer is the right answer here: you can’t force consumers to use your product. They need a reason to use it, and none of the current ones are sufficiently compelling.
Knowing who is paying for Mullvad is about as useful as knowing what sites use TLS.
Those prices seem very low for the US (except for the pork). I also see you're leaving out the salt, pepper, olive oil, red wine, Parmesan, and spices/(dried) herbs. Yes, all the things you left out will last for a long time (except the 1/4 bottle of wine) but they are a huge upfront cost for a single meal.

Cooking is a financial commitment.

I'll also say the first recipe I found suggested 1kg of pork to go with that much pasta and vegetables.
The point is that you can write a very similar article about a country that doesn’t invade its neighbours, which means that it just doesn’t prove anything.
Bitcoin are created and live on the blockchain.

If you invent Bitcoin out of thin air in your MySQL database, you can't transfer them to another Bitcoin address because they don't exist on the blockchain. How are people in these comments say "yes it's possible"?

It is not. That's the bloody point of Bitcoin that these kind of monetary games are impossible (meaning extremely hard and energy intensive to be considered impossible with current technology).
For the platforms I've built I've had access to the customers table for example, you know if it's growing or shrinking.

You don't even have to explicitly nose around, looking at the logs you'll see customer IDs and if they are sequential a keen eye will notice if they stop getting any higher.
Tbh I don’t vacuum seal soups, toss it in a glasslock and freeze. Year later it’s still fine because soup.

I live in an apartment, have a good commercial sealer, but it sits in my office, and just my fridge and a 7cuft (upright being key) freezer that’s in a closet. It’s more then enough space then I need to buy bulk from Costco, have a wide selection, and space for portions. 15 cu ft seems like way more then you need to just buy bulk and freeze?
No subscription is required for the base version no account, either. Of course, the base version doesn't have all the features as premium, but it is still excellent, in my opinion. I have used the free version for years. There is an offline version, as it is open source.

The full text isn't stored on the servers, but you can always just deploy it yourself for maximum privacy:

Furthermore, there are options for docker: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool#docker
as explained in the pdf: There is a part of the connection setup, that will happen before any mutual authentification: The telephone offers the IMEI/IMSI to get an initial connection. The network learns this number and it's the counterpart of a MAC address in Wifi networks.
I think it makes more sense for interpreted languages. The program written in Python is always tied to Python. But a language that compiles to a native binary just happens to have source code in some language. Once it's compiled though, it's just a binary.

Sorry folks, gotta revert this for a bit - the `/laravel-bytes` section has an issue!
It's referring to the "Open Systems" hype of the 80s / early 90s. The term "open source" became popular only much later.

> This is probably pretty hard for roles where it takes a while to get up and running, but not so hard for, e.g., sales and operations roles.

Aside from the manyfold problems that your ‘solution’ would cause or exacerbate, this shows a remarkable lack of cross-functional understanding. It’s generally assumed it will take 1-2 quarters for sales teams to ramp up, and even the good ones don’t hit their stride until a year in.

It’s also disrespectful to your customers to turn over their sales teams every year or two, as they have to endure 6 months of “I don’t know, let me find out”.
> The average car goes about 40 miles per day

Is not what your link says, it says:

> U.S. daily travel averages 11 billion miles a day — almost 40 miles per person per day

Which is a different metric.

Perhaps more pertinent is:

> (The Average Driver) Drives 29 miles a day

That's why things like the Pluton processor and TPMs are useful.

(A rain of downvotes falls on me)

Seriously, even good old BIOS is susceptible to rootkits, there has been tons of them. So no crying over UEFI please.

We need a fully signed and auditable chain of trust for booting OSes.

Of course all this crap needs to be open source but it needs to be locked down to prevent not trusted binaries as much as possible.

And for the 1% of people who are going to bang about their right own the hardware and run Linux and what not (I'm definitely one of those), we need to be able to do it but in an obvious way (computer should boot but display a clear message that it's been tinkerer with).

I really like software freedom, but the fact that I can disable secure boot on pretty much any computer I have physical access to and that the user will never know about it is not okay.
I stopped reading after this:

"Let's take the business of drug dealing for example, where due to your research you find the vast majority of people are caught via compelled police informants."

If that's true, why are drugs still a problem when we've had the War on Drugs for decades?

As to the "fact" that secrets cannot be kept, especially in a large group, Edward Snowden proved this to be false.
Burner/single use. Maybe it is different in different countries but Google do allow debit cards. Company credit cards are not standard in large parts of EU for instance.
I just switched over from PIA to Mullvad like last month or so. Really surprised that Mullvad asked for literally no information from me - no username, password, email etc. I'm setting reminders on my calendar to remember to add more time to my account, but other than that, VPNs shouldn't have more info than that.

More on topic: Doesn't say on the page, but does the card ever expire?
Rust is really bad for security. It puts debug strings and full source file paths inside binaries. It's been a bug for over 5 years that's been reported and there's been no progress. Nobody talks about this wild dataleakage. Also leaks usernames on computers and such. This can lead to ALOT of forensics information and be used by authoritarian nations to find and arrest people for making software. I really don't think any rust application can meet some compliance requirements for certain sectors due to this either. But the developers and communities just wash this and other real issues under the rug.
I'm more convinced that they will be everywhere, the preferred device, after using the hololens 2.

Why do you think smart glasses will not be widely used when a huge portion of society already wears dumb glasses?
> That is not the point. I want to know why you think we should dismiss Dostoevsky but not Shakespeare. Basically every great artist and intellectual was part of a war-waging genocidal empire, and many of them pro-regime in varying degrees (Dostoevsky being a good example of the "varying").

I’m not on the “boycott dead Russians” train but the difference is timeliness. Russia is today engaged in a colonial war of aggression. England was last involved in such a thing in the last century.

My outstanding (answerable) questions would be. When his New York apartment was raided by the FBI, it was reported they seized binders of optical discs, the titles generally fitting the format [man's name] with young [woman's name]. What's on the discs?

Vicki Ward reported Acosta told her that he was told by someone "above his pay grade" to give Epstein the plea deal with the explanation that "Epstein belonged to intelligence."

Does Acosta deny he said that? Did Ward record the interview?
broadly agree.

Weirdly you can trade mobilecoin on a major centralized exchange, but is "proof of intel" really a good consensus mechanism lol

However, in practice, it is what matters, There is a "minimum" threshold (I can attest to this because I've been on the other side having to conduct them) where you more or less, must finish at least with some viable answer - even if unrefined - or you won't be moving on, full stop

I've been journaling for over 10 years, and I can empathize with everything you're saying here. I wrote a short guide for effective journaling here[1], and plan on writing a lot more on the topic soon. I do have some thoughts about what you've written specifically though—I hope it's helpful.

> I find it just ends up my going around in circles or getting frustrated, but I think that's just me

It's not just you. Circular thinking or rumination is very common. I find journaling helpful in these instances because it is a lot easier for me to recognize that I'm ruminating when I write my thoughts down. When they're physically in front of me, you can see the looping. When it's ephemeral thoughtstuff in your head, it can be a lot harder to recognize.

The trick (for me) is finding a way to escape that loop once I've recognized it. That's why I edit all my journal entries after an initial stream-of-consciousness braindump.

There are a number of techniques you can play with to broaden your viewpoint—write down an interpretation of events that is the opposite of what you think, imagine the situation from a caring friend's perspective, etc.

It's helpful to think of this as play, which brings me to my next thought.

> whenever i sit down to think about anything and try and make sense of anything in my life, I really struggle ... i'm just overwhelmed.

> It's also hard to do at the end of the day due to low energy.

It is possible you have set too-high expectations for your journal entries. You will look at a majority of entries, immediately after writing them, and think, "What trash, I will never want to read this again."

That's fine. You might be right—maybe it's worthless. But you'll be surprised at how frequently, a year later, you find that you were wrong. It is interesting to read those honest entries that are twisted and convoluted and just messed up.

And you will make progress over time, if you're flexible with your mindset and open to change. Most entries will be ugly and definitely not revelatory. That's fine—it's the accumulation of observations that leads to breakthroughs. Putting too much pressure on the individual entries themselves can actually be counterproductive.

> The trouble is there are so many things I can do for my mental health and improve myself ... when am i meant to get anything done after i finish work if I do all of these?

This is a real problem. I don't love the narrative around "self-care" I'm frequently exposed to. Industry has a vested interest in making you feel like their solution is one you absolutely need to incorporate, to the point that self-care becomes yet another external imposition for many people.

To be sure, all these things you list can be helpful, but getting in touch with yourself and deciding what you need and when you need it is most important.

Losers are not recruiting. It's a "win more" move, statistically. I don't know why it would be a bad idea to pick a career that tilts you toward being on a winning team if you care about the economics.
Fuel injectors, filters, and pumps in unleaded cars can also be damaged when the vehicle runs out of gas. I believe fuel injectors are always damaged when run dry but not necessarily to the point of failure.
> Judging by publication date the source seems to be this paper (also it did not cite any other papers with the incorrect value, as far as I know). And everybody else just copied the constant from somewhere else, propagating it from paper to paper.

And the Scheuermann and Mauve paper mentions that they picked the value (0.775351) from the Philippe Flajolet paper that only mentions it without the extra 5. It's not that it was calculated again, reviewed or something like that. It was simple picked up and typed wrong.
Tracking down 'strange' configuration will work in 5G the same way. It still could be, and the pdf covers this, 'strange' configurations can happen in early deployments in 5G also. It will be a false positive for checks like this.
Clearly, you had not read the article in its entirety. It used mapping and genetics to prove that it did not come from a laboratory. It did come from the wet market, period.

And before you ask, I have no great love for for the Chinese Govt due to their ingrained culture of secrecy and censorship. The only thing they did wrong was to hide the true extent of the disease and the fact that this virus could spread through the air. This delay cost a lot of lives.

Is there any nice DEX that lets you trade Solana for Monero and vice versa?

I want to do some commerce in Monero but since Monero is banned on most/all marketplaces, it'd be nice to get it easily via decentralized exchange swapping it for Solana. Doing commerce with Monero and then swapping it back to Solana and later FIAT.

I assume the issue with this setup even if one builds it, you still have to tell the government what happened and how exactly you earned your coins? Or maybe you can build another DEX converting Monero to FIAT 'cash' avoiding such questions?
Yours is a complete misunderstanding.

You're assuming a oot about the people who use these programs. If you wanna hate on the program itself, sure, be my guest. But, please, don't insult their users. It achieves absolutely nothing, and only makes you come off as rude and presumptuous.

A large audience for these types of tools is people for whome English is not their first language (this includes me, so please forgive any spelling/grammar mistakes you may find). This audience may be very eloquent and stylistic in their native language, but learning languages (especially when you have passed your teens) is hard, and sounding professional and sleek requires a lot more effort than you might think.

Here's where Grammarly comes in. It reformats your sentences to be more consistent with your projected attitude, removing a ton of work for some people.
