Unsafe Rust is not C
Unsafe Rust is like C in some ways, but there are tricky rules that unsafe Rust has to follow that don't exist in C. C also has some tricky rules of its own. This video is a new talk I just recorded about some of these differences, particularly when it comes to pointer aliasing.
GCP to AWS Migration: Why and How to Make the Move
Epidemiology isn’t an obvious core competence for a site named Hacker News, though.

IMHO the best part of HN is anything that benefits from a perspective on software history because somebody will jump in with “Yeah I was there at Sun in 1986…” and tell the story.

The closer it gets to everyday politics or JavaScript framework du jour, the worse the signal-to-noise ratio.
Where are you going with your computer to do real work? I've never used a laptop to get real work done where I need to sit for 4+ hours that wasn't a nice desk with ergonomic chair and large monitors.

The only thing I ever did with my laptops when it wasn't plugged into a docking station at a desk was surf the web, and I can do that from my phone.
In-browser ad blocking is the perfect solution, they just need to allow it and make money through honest means. Both Google and Apple.
From my perspective using a 12th gen on Fedora 36, which is allegedly the best supported Linux flavor (although Windows on the Framework doesn't have many of these issues so I'm considering installing it instead):

* Horrific battery life. I don't actually mind that the battery life under light usage is in the 6-7 hours neighborhood. What I do mind is that the battery life when the laptop isn't being used is abysmal. When I shut the lid, I lose 20% of the battery every day. Since I got the Framework to supplement a desktop, that really isn't acceptable. Fedora 36 doesn't do hibernate out of the box, but on OSes where that's doable battery life while inactive should be better

* The trackpad scrolling is annoyingly fast, and I haven't found a way to change it (on my mac I can just change the scroll speed under mouse settings, but Fedora doesn't expose that option)

* Speaking of the settings app, the settings app FREQUENTLY causes the laptop to lock up. This is a known issue and might only affect certain hardware configs, but it is super annoying.

* Brightness buttons don't work out of the box. Only way to use them is to disable the laptop's built in brightness sensor

* Don't love the fn key placement but maybe I'll get used to it over time
This. But also putting a bounty on poachers that exceeds the value of ivory, make killing poachers so profitable that for every poacher, there are 20 bounty hunters. Also, education. Also, counter intelligence (ingrain societies that value ivory with rumors that touching ivory causes flaccidity and ruins libido, which is highly contagious, etc.)

Also, why don't we just take all the elephants and rhinos from them, establish them in the American west? We can deal with the ecological issues.

The fervent animosity towards dual free non-commercial/paid commercial licenses in the foss world has always puzzled me. In the end it is source code readable by anyone yeah? What would you actually prefer, it stays locked up forever?

The animosity comes from being tricked into vendor lock-in with "free" samples.

I would much rather have a paid free license than a zero cost non-free license. I'm always surprised more corporate/enterprise software doesn't take this approach. Have it be a full open source license, but only distribute the source to companies that pay for support contracts. Of course your paying customers could turn around and redistribute it, but most companies are risk adverse and would rather buy from the vendor. If you really can't handle some people using your new code for free you could have it be proprietary for a year or three then revert to AGPL or whatever FLOSS license you prefer. (which was mentioned in tfa)

It's funny cause to me visual differences in syntax are just useless information overload. And another dimension of constraints to deal with. That's why I clinged to low syntax languages.. you write in semantics almost. The rest is problem solving (or even extending metadomain with macros or else to help yourself)
glad firefox is allowing and end-run around this
Hacker News is in absolutely no way a “masterpiece”; it’s a site, one of many, that aggregates articles, sorted by popularity. Because it’s run by the largest startup accelerator in the world, it attracts people other sites don’t.

The only special thing about HN is its association with YC. That’s it.

But people have this inherent need to worship just about anything, so we get self congratulatory articles like this one.

Maybe the fact that this article does well here will make a few of you see through the bull crap? Probably not, but a girl can dream…

Wow. Interesting. It seems that they finally became aware of the issue and corrected the block list linked in the OP.

Only media backlash and a shitstorm actually was able to correct this and it is unclear if all providers fixed this. Everyone is now blaming high court decision, local government and the EU. Wonder if anything will change.

Here is the verified story :https://www.derstandard.de/story/2000138619757/ueberzogene-n...
QoS approaches like this are very well studied and very useful, but still have limits. The queuing itself consumes resources and throughput-domain requests that are already in flight will still contend with latency-domain requests (unless you want to implement preemption which is usually very difficult in a system not originally designed for it and also leads to further resource waste). If you want really low latency you have to be completely isolated from the throughput domain.
I use Adguard for Safari Content blocking + NextDNS. Adguard has launched its own DNS based blocker too which I am yet to test.

I use Firefox Focus mostly to watch YouTube vids on my iOS tablet, and it is one big ad-infested experience. Just learned I should look at AdGuard and hope that will bring improvement.

It's the better reddit /r/popular to me.

People here are less mentally mainstreamed, homogenized and lobotomized.

And since this page doesn't have to fulfil any user interaction metrics it can simply stay the way it is (almost perfect) without having to support new media, getting redesigned and filled full of tracking JS, A/B testing JS and other trash.
It's incredible how fast websites load with this combination.

I recall reading that despite the internet being faster, actual website performance has never really improved meaningfully. Whatever speed gains we've achieved have simply been eaten by larger and more complex tracking scripts.

Google themselves are a significant contributor to this problem, for many websites, Google's scripts are the core source of slowness.

I don't think it's unreasonable for users to want to reclaim their browsing experience (and bandwidth). In the sample comparison below we can see savings as high as 90% of data and speed boosts of ~1500% - it's insanity.

For those who don't know, SLS gets 3 launch attempts per launch window (essentially per month). This is due to a number of constraints, but 2 big ones are the length of time the Flight Termination System batteries are certified to last and how much hydrogen they keep on hand in local storage.

that is very sad. I would not have thought that Isaac would react in that way. Communication on the Frosthaven updates did not sound like that.

but still no tempo, right? listening to the sung sample¹ I could totally imagine it being double as fast and walzing a bit more.

I actually really like it played at double tempo, my firefox can do it on right click.

I can also recommend Adguard (mentioned in sibling comments), but also for everyone using Mullvad, their iOS client offers ad/tracker/malware blocking as well (via vpn/dns).
Even though I hear reports like this, I still want to buy one. Entering the hardware market is a hell of a thing to do at this point in time, and I have to applaud their chutzpah. I'm not surprised at all that there are several data points where they don't stack up against multi-billion-dollar companies, and I'm okay with it personally.
FWIW, I'm pretty picky about trackpads and I think the Framework's is solid. Maybe not as good as a Macbook's, but not far behind either. Definitely with you on battery life while sleeping though.
> ...might it have been the same amount of effort just to introduce some strong types into Javascript itself?

And how would it be different?

I've been using TS since 2016, both for front and back-end, and I can count an amount of times the transpilation abstraction leaked on one hand (and most of these were when I just learning TS and worked on weirdly configured projects). Aside from these, I could just forget about the fact that it's transpiled to JS under the hood.

AdAway is main reason, why I root android devices. It block ads in all apps and browsers even on data, without VPN.

Another way how to block ads on data is using OpenVPN to connect data through you home router that has ad-blocking. But it is limited by upload speed of home network connection and battery drain of your smartphone is worse with active OpenVPN.
Indeed. People have a hard time knowing when they are going outside their areas of expertise and sometimes extrapolate their confidence in one area into others and can sometimes be right and other times wildly wrong. Diet and exercise might be one such topic, for example. Economics another. I'm not hammering speculation or suggestions, I'm specially referring to confident assertions.
Whatever you do don’t put them on giant concrete pillars in the middle of a field somewhere.
It depends, power can be shared but you can't easily take it back, and contrary to many things power is zero sum.

So, this is an important choice.

Only share what is needed for the task. But of course you can talk about your vision for the company, your ethics, long term goals etc.
And also fairly benign, yes.

In contrast: GADTs are really important, but they get you pretty far away from Vanilla Haskell.
In my experience the biggest problem with VPN-based adblocking is the battery drain when the signal is poor. I regularly spend time in a well-insulated room and forgetting to turn my VPN off has a very noticeable impact at the end of the day. Which is a shame, because Chrome is a hell of a lot snappier than Firefox Android.
D-day tribute or theme park? Battle rages over Normandy plan
Whenever I try to use Firefox, I always tend to go back to Chrome after a week or so. I'm visually impaired and Firefox just messes up the accessibility on certain (news) websites for me. While on Chrome it's mostly working fine.

I guess it's mostly attributed to the website handling accessibility wrong, but using the web is more important to me I guess.
Unfortunately that’s probably true, despite the facts that

a) Reddit is a gigantic mixed bag of quality, and thinking Reddit is “all bad” is admitting to not understanding how to use it, and

b) being unable to understand that the category isn’t actually “forums” is sad. You can get this level of quality (which is to say, not the real draw of HN in the first place) by directly visiting the sites posted here.
They are known to be hyperbolic on their forums. Ex A:

Blokada Plus is a VPN optimized to work flawlessly with Blokada. You get one of the strongest encryptions with minimal impact on battery life and speed. Together with the battle-tested content blocking functionality of Blokada, the VPN gives you a peace of mind knowing that your private activity stays private. Even on public WiFi, no-one will be able to see what you’re doing or steal your sensitive information like bank details. Websites you visit will not be able to reveal your real location. https://archive.is/xyVSn

- Strongest encryption? From when I read the code, they back-up private-key without armour (plain-text).

- Battle-tested content blocking? Blokada v5 and below has leaked DNS over TCP since its inception (v6+ is closed source).

- Peace of mind? https://www-computerbase-de.translate.goog/forum/threads/mob...

- The less I say about protecting bank details, 'private activity', location... the better.

Disclosure: I have been accused by Blokada of spreading FUD before: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8536
Thinkpad X1 (Yoga/Carbon) do great for heavy use developer laptops. I use them since the first generation, with Linux as operating system. Never had serious issues with drivers, even wacom, digitizer and auto display rotation are working nowadays, not to speak of USB-3, fingerprint sensors, etc. The whole device is a no-brainer and just works.
I think so too. I don't think that preserving technological progress is as important as preserving history.

The focus should be mainly history with some foundational scientific works.

Or don't try to preserve anything. If a future civilization needs it then the current civilization obviously messed up big time and don't deserve to say anything else. Our shameful wreckage will be ubiquitous and apparent to any future inhabitants. Just die quietly and leave it at that.
I use Brave on iOS, and it's great.
Enjoy, but that's a debate that's been going on for literally decades.

It's also the case that, if you take manned missions of the table into an indefinite future, a lot of the rationale for many unmanned missions goes away too.
My point is that there is nothing about functional programming, specifically the "Data structure + Algorithm" style, that makes it unsuitable for building complex applications like air traffic control system or bank lending system, and it has in fact been used successfully in domains like that.

It sounds to me like the group she's working with is already running these drones, and they're currently digging through the video manually. That's where she got all the training data to make these tools.

Maybe it's not the most effective way to hunt for poachers, but it seems to be *one* way that poachers are hunted, and a way that has some obvious room for improvement by sprinkling on a bit of ML magic.
I have to say "Eastern European" is a quite poor and unhelpful generalization nowadays.

It is ethnically and linguistically diverse: Slavic, Baltic, Finno-Ugric, Romance (Romania) as well as Albanian and Hellenic. It is religiously diverse: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Muslim and even the bastions of irreligion/atheism (Czechia and Estonia). There are significant cultural differences, especially comparing the more reserved north (Finland and Baltics) with the more emotional south (Balkans or even parts of Ukraine). There are also major economic differences, with central/north east being more or less high-income economies compared to the south and east-east. It even has inconsistent geographic definitions, e.g. whether it includes "Central Europe", whether it extends to Turkey or even Caucasus, etc.

Many generalizations really don't work for such a vast and diverse region.
Maybe you skipped reading my sentence "People usually don't get away with b.s. because other experts will correct them."
"To the Moon" doesn't mean surface, but in any case, lunar orbit is the first step in any practical mission.

No, you don't scale up the 26t by the factor of 4 in a heartbeat.

Yes, you need to take the capsule to lunar orbit because the lander wouldn't survive reentry and you don't want to take the transfer stage down to the lunar surface and back again.

SLS is ready to fly. There are no alternatives which can do the same thing which are ready to fly. This is a fact.
I install Sanitize since I was struggling to get web sites to work. There was one web site where I couldn’t close the advert to get to the actual site!!
Interesting, maybe it's just been my personal experience. I often work at the native DOM level, where the API is extremely forgiving and dynamic. The type system does not work well there, as I found several instances where the underlying type definition didn't match what the native API actually had available. My only recourse in those moments was to either use `any` or to write my own type definition (which I am not going to do).
Nah, legalize poacher hunting. Most dangerous game and such.
I agree with the topics chosen, but I fear a lot of this information couod be very hypothetical, like a wikipedia article does not enable you to reproduce the same results.

When you learn practical skills, like how to fix your bike, how to solder, how to find good iron ore, your best bet is to learn from a real person so you can exprerience all the intangiable things that go with learning a skill.

A youtube video course is the closest substitute i guess.

Agreed. IMO, the down-vote should be used for comments that don’t add to the discussion or devolve to personal attacks, not to express disagreement.
I'm in the same boat.

I recently had to upgrade my phone, and oh boy is is annoying to get root working with Google Pay and my banking app. It still works, but it took me a few hours(!).

I'm seriously considering switching to iOS for my next phone.
I don't have the option to move to the US but I'd like to pick up US clients remotely.

We've (small UK development/consultancy shop) occasionally had US-based clients approach us about small projects. It's not something we'd actively explored until recently because of the potential legal and accounting complications. When we did finally look it turns out it's probably not so difficult after all though we haven't actually tried it for real yet.

The rates that small outsourcing firms or individual contractors charge in the US are so much higher than the UK that a US client could get a bargain working with us while we could be charging much higher rates than we get from UK or European clients. Financially it's a situation where everyone could do well.

I'm a bit surprised that we don't see more trans-Atlantic deals. Maybe a lack of awareness or concern around time zones means people don't really consider it an option? But even California is only an 8 hour gap so with almost everything being primarily remote and async today it should be possible to communicate effectively.
The M1/M2 Macbooks are a total game-changer. You made your switch in the Intel era. I certainly get that because it was the dark days of the pointless Touch Bar and the awful butterfly keyboard.

But now an M2 Macbook Air for $1500-2000 (depending on options) is hard to beat.

The only complaint seems to be in heat distribution. Some people use a cheap heat spreader on their desk. Apple definitely chose a stylish package over optimal thermal design. It's an issue but not a major issue.

EDIT: it's a sad day on HN when you mention how M1/M2 MBs are a big step up from the Intel MBs to a comment about laptop recommendations and you get a bunch of commentless downvotes. WTaF?
I used to manage my dotfiles with stow (xstow actually) and do some simple links. Now I run an Ansible playbook that creates links or copy depending on the files and also install tools on different OSes.

The big benefit is that it can be organized in a modular way with roles and tags, and sensitives files (like my gpg keys...) can be encrypted with the vault.
