Another phenomenon that I think is related - if you think you're alone, you can't prepare yourself to not be surprised if someone comes around a corner. You can tell yourself to pretend there is someone there, and logically it makes perfect sense that if someone really is there, it won't be a surprise. But you will always be startled if they are there.

And to take it further - mirrors and shadows. If, out of the corner of your eye, you see yourself moving in a reflection or shadow, you can scare the shit out of yourself. Full-on primal fight or flight. But you can never do it deliberately. And I doubt you can do it more than once every few hours.
What is that anger about Rust on internet forums about?

I started learning Rust because it's a language with interesting characteristics and welcoming documentation.

Only then I've discovered it's apparently "controversial" for some reason...
Notice that they started running out of there not when scale of russian war crimes became obvious, but when the war might directly impact them.

Also, for _some_ reason, russian women show the most bloodlust - just because they know they won't be drafted.
>Go outside the SF/HN bubble and try to find people with a negative view of Google. Out in the real world nobody cares about ad tracking.

I wasn't speaking specifically to ads/tracking. Out in the "real world" there are plenty of people who decry "big tech censorship" and have strong views about said tech firms that are tied to their political views.
> TypeScript is a huge productivity multiplier

See, I've heard it multiple times. And yet nobody is able to provide evidence. Surely if effects are so huge it's should be easy to prove. We're commenting on the article that says TS is 10 years old. Where is the hard evidence?

When you ask about real examples of productivity boost, TS folks shift focus to bugs (why not talk about bugs in the first place?). When you ask about critical bugs, TS folks shift focus to IDE autocompletion. When you press for evidence, goal post is constantly being moved.

Whenever you see bold claims and no evidence other than personal stories for several years, you should immediately attribute it to placebo (or other biases).

> you can fly around a large code base with ease, making changes all over

Not really, unless you're talking about bloated codebases. Huge codebases are huge due to domain complexity, you can't be making changes all over without extensive testing. What does help is having a modular codebase with good boundaries. If you already have it, TS benefits are tiny. If you don't, you're better off spending time making it modular than switching to TypeScript.

> TypeScript still a productivity boost

And yet if you talk to popular library maintainers in Python/JS community, a lot of them say that types have slowed them down. Some of them still believe it was worth it, because it helps users of those libraries. But again, see how the goalpost is being moved?
This. Let’s not jump to the conclusion that making this point today is a silly argument or even an evil deed.

For someone who writes mostly in GC languages this was a great read and can recommend.

Even with switching to <your_safe_language> let’s not loose awareness of what is possible to strengthen current approaches.
Exactly.

During WWII the already had radars enough to detect periscopes sticking out of sea surface from tens of miles.

They were also able to triangulate subs by their short transmits anywhere on the Atlantic with pinpoint precision.

People very much underestimate technical military capabilities.

The issues with militaries are of a different kind -- sifting through deluge of information, prioritising, making right inferences, etc., not the ability to spot and triangulate the enemy.

people don't just want to live in cities, they want to live in a few specific neighborhoods within those cities.

for example, a peculiar thing has been happening in baltimore. average housing prices have been steadily going up while the population is actually shrinking. there is a glut of supply citywide, with entire blocks sitting vacant. but the competition over units in a few cool neighborhoods is enough to totally offset that.

we could provide satisfactory homes and services to everyone in america, if we made it a priority. but we will never be able to build enough supply in the most desirable neighborhoods. people just need to get over that.
IMVHO beside plots/formulae/tables etc who are hard to read if just a bit more than deadly simple cases in code, well written pure text AND an outliner (like org-mode or the old CanonCAT etc, now forgotten tools from a more civilized and dead age) are the best way to focus on what you write instead of it's visual aspects.

Visual is part of the package for advertisement, not for scientific/important stuff production. The best example: those who crappy formatting HTML emails not much to embed an image but to really send "rendered text" thinking that's nice and useful instead of visual useless crap...
> In case of emergency, drones just land where they are, or they could try to go back to the point of origin. Depending on the emergency, the drone might lose connection with the operator, in which case your own location is not very useful. I didn't run into emergencies lately but usually as far as I know the operator sets out to retrieve the drone.

The default setting on connection loss is "return to home" with hover or land where you are as options. "Home" is a constantly updated location (sent from the controller to the drone) if you move, which, as another person mentioned, is absolutely critical in some scenarios like being on a boat where your position updates constantly.

As another person also mentioned, EU and FCC regulations will also require Remote ID, which broadcasts the drone's and operator's GPS positions. The latter is used if you did something bad and need to be spoken to.

Drone usage is somewhere where location is absolutely needed, especially for critical situations where you want your drone to not be lost forever (and so the government can slap you on the hand in person if you did something bad).
I'm sorry, I don't completely understand what your point. You seem to be alluding to "what C is actually good for", but it's not clear to me what that's supposed to be. I understand that you think C should not be used to develop generic components that are reused, and that data structures and such should be re-rolled or copy-pasted each time they're used.

On the other hand, you do hint that you think C can be used reusably, provided that the ABI is the focus. I agree with this.

In my opinion, the techniques discussed in the book are in fact useful techniques for accomplishing exactly this end. If you want reusability the ABI way, what you want is a small surface area which changes extremely slowly. Ideally, you want each ABI to be a subset of the last to avoid breaking changes. OK: accomplishing data hiding via opaque pointers in tandem with a simple, high-level interface is one way to accomplish this, and is the main lesson to be learned by reading this book. (I would argue you really only need to read a chapter or two to learn it, but that's a different story---I would argue that this book is in fact not very good for this reason, but whatever.)

If you look at most reusable C libraries, they take this approach. Obvious this book takes a bit of an extreme approach where as much of the details of a data type are hidden as possible, but there is no real reason to do this provided that the details of a type are stable. Then it's OK to expose them as part of the interface.

I suppose I take your point that in reading this book, one might get the idea that it's a good idea to develop an STL-style library to use with C and run with that. On the other hand, someone who is learning C might just as well read many books about it (or read lots of code), and be able to contextualize this book well enough to understand that it should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think it's also important to point out that there are exceptions to these "rules". GLib is a generic STL-style library written in C which seems to be pretty widely used. At the other end of the spectrum, you have more people (I think mostly in the games community) developing "header only C libraries". YMMV.
The proposed bonfire of EU regulations will only make trading with EU harder, because the less compatible you will be, the more troubles on borders you will experience.
As cool as useless. But still cool.
As an (housing) architect this is simultaneously amazing and terrifying.

In some way, stable diffusion works like the architect mind that has seen more kitchens (in this case) than the average person and somehow (consciously or unconsciously) proposes a solution based on that. Our edge - for now - is knowing what is feasible/economical.
Actually, you don't need to own a book to read it. We in Germany have a great concept for this, its called: Library, You can go to your local community library and decide to either read the book there or to take it home and read it where ever you like. The rent for the first 2 weeks or sometimes the first 4 weeks is free of charge.

These libraries these days even not only have books to rent out. They have online-books, games (like those physical games to interact physically with other people you like), and other medias.

Even the membership in those community libraries is mostly free of charge, with a few exceptions.
That's what Google Maps copy by default. It would require me to purposefully delete some of the numbers and decrease precision, and I'm not sure what purpose would it fulfill.
For whatever reason, you are leaving out the fact that the testimonial section is user-generated content.

Everyone who donates at least $5 can put a testimonial up there. I think it's pretty prominent, shown right below the donation button under bitcoin/monero logo on the donation page.

Anyway, it could also be that I'm emotionally dumbed down in this respect after spending years on the internet, but I don't feel offended by this at all. Do you feel offended enough to kick the admin on the floor?
I laughed too, at "CI/CD pipeline", but this is actually pretty trivial to do with a git post-commit hook. Literally one line in a shell script.

I've been using Dvorak layout exclusively on my computers for over 20 years and I totally agree with you, QWERTY is just a better option on a phone.

Some years ago, I set up my Android phone to use Dvorak layout but I quickly reverted to QWERTY, without being able to use my muscle memory, it was actually a very frustrating experience.

Because most Dvorak users do not use a keyboard labeled with the dvorak layout, you never really learn visually where the keys are and you only know the layout in your muscle memory which does not translate at all to using a touchscreen keyboard on a phone.
Most people that know my taste in music already have my spotify because they're my friends and I gave it to them. As for worrying about pseudonymity, spotify lets you hide listening activity and make all your playlists private.
I don't really think Mark Zuckerberg is the source of having an aimless PM org. I think that he should serve jail time for wire fraud and overseeing a defective product that causes people harm. But I think that's disconnected from his abilities and vision as a founder, engineer, and creator of one of the most successful companies in the world.
Manjaro sucks. The thing is, it's really nice out of the box - frankly, it's probably the nicest OOB experience. Their desktop looks great and the layout switcher is cool. I also like the utility that lets you choose different kernel versions. The pamac package manager is great (if you ignore the fact that it has some problems with the way it works with AUR). Unfortunately, it has all kinds of problems under the hood that will eventually bite the kind of user Manjaro is trying to attract. It's a strange situation where one has to be familiar with Arch to understand why Manjaro isn't working.

IMO, Manjaro should take the Endeavour route and just use the upstream repositories. Manjaro does a lot right and brings some good ideas, but they are really lacking on the reliability and professionalism fronts.
This sounds fairly easy to solve: the UK could replace the EU research funding they opted out of, with their own research funding. After all, they're saving money by not contributing to the EU anymore.
> It’s really not in my JD.

I've noodled on your response overnight. Here are my thoughts:

[1] Working within a team to deliver on time, or effectively communicating when that delivery is behind, is part of a good team working agreement. For that reason, I would expect it is part of most job descriptions implicitly and often explicitly.

[2] Managers, be they personnel, project, or product, absorb things from individual contributors quite often. An example of this is when re-prioritization needs to occur because another team member is unable to complete tasks for any number of reasons.

A delivery failure isn't office politics. Do you feel that it is? I could see if a manager were setting arbitrary deadlines without consensus with the team as being a meaningless nihilist exercise (i.e. office politics and their ilk). But where consensus was discussed, the failure to deliver then lives with the team.
They're certainly an optimal delivery device for biological and chemical weapons, and I imagine it's only a matter of time before such programs are revived by various powers, given the current breakdown in international treaty regimes governing what I'd call the four horsepeople of the apocalypse: nuclear, chemical, biological and cyber warfare.

Absolutely agreed. I've watched lots of his long-form videos on all those topics and initially I was always scratching my head as to why he'd want to reinvent all these wheels from the molecules up, but as I watched more, I realized that he's a journey guy, not necessarily a destination guy. To his credit, he's attracted a similarly-minded following of contributors along the way.
Hello Rust Music World!
The Curse of the Enum – MySQL vs. Postgres
Sure - and i wouldn't put too much weight on my examples, i picked them as a direct refutation to the GP's claim "Well, empirically, no, that's not the case".

That said - 2 & 3 in your list seem like they'd lend further weight to Postifx rather than Rust in this scenario. Postfix is a network service forced to accept any and all input from remote attackers. Postfix has been around longer and has marketed itself as secure, that's meant it's attracted the attention of capable attackers keen to demonstrate their prowess.

I think the rust code base is more complex than postfix though. Postfix's architecture borders on a work of art.

Not "at least", more like "at most". It's 4months + 4months. And you have to "willing-fully" accept the second 4 months (but they can fire you if you don't).

The "faute grave" you are referring to is the "faute lourde", for which the employee voluntarily caused harm to the company.
A "faute grave" is more like a big mistake, harassment, misbehavior, etc.

Basically, you can fire anyone you want if you pay for it. But you'll have to pay, and if the employee is not happy with what they receive, they can go to court (which is very long, most of them won't).

good idea at the same time sad because you will miss the opportunity to learn new music styles which are not based on your preferences, what you would archieve with something like radio. same concept in social media or netflix vs television or print media.

There is nothing to allow. The cat is already out of the bag. Best you can hope for is regulation, which is what FAA is attempting to do and mitigation ( some companies have ideas on how to counter 'bad' drones ). In a sense, it is no different than it was before. People can still drive cars. People can still use RC toys. And people will do all sorts of horrible things will all manner of technology.

<< I can think of a few modifications to drones, I've yet to see in Ukraine, that could increase their lethality 10x.

I don't know this, but I suspect we are only seeing some rather selective footage ( as with most warfare propaganda ). Just thinking what one could do with coordinating drones makes me shiver a little.

Still, as a species we are oddly adaptable. Here is to hope permanent drone sky will not become our new normal.
Xmake v2.7.2 released, build third party libraries more intelligently
On Android, anything that can broadcast a signal (bluetooth/wifi) require location, at least coarse.

I'm not saying DJI isn't spying on everything but that's probably the reason. This is hilarious in hindsight because for years, you had to give an app call access so they could monitor if a call was incoming (for pausing a game for example)

Edit: It also looks to be a GDPR ban.
The true/false on that page indicates whether the instruction has “MXCSR Configuration Dependent Timing.” This is separate from their sensitivity to the data-operand independent timing MSR bit.

My interpretation is that all of the instructions in that list require DOIT set for guarantees of data independent timing

> a new model specific register (MSR) control enables data operand independent timing for the listed data operand independent timing instructions.

You're comparing a programming language's standard library with an application. In the former case, most of the CVEs are pointing out bugs in 'unsafe' implementations of std APIs that result in UB where they should not. In the latter case, the CVEs are mostly pointing out actual exploits that permit privilege escalation. If you applied the standard by which CVEs are created for Rust to C---an apples to apples comparison---then most APIs in libc would have CVEs filed for them and they would be marked as 'wontfix'.

It's not at all a direct refutation of the GP's claim.
