Rust itself has had more CVEs in the past 18 months than Postfix (written in C) has had in the past 18 years [1].

So it must be more nuanced than you're claiming.

EDIT: Postfix is somewhere in the region of 1,000x to 10,000x more popular than rust - it's hard to compare a compiler to a mail transfer agent but the MTA is in the more risky use case and yet fares better despite having more sysadmins deploying it than there are rust developers.

Ben Bernanke among 3 American winners of Nobel Prize in economics
This area has had a stable sea level for several thousand years, but that's all changing. NOAA predicts a 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) sea level rise by 2050 and perhaps 3-4 times that by 2100.

https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/us-coastline-to-see-up-to-...

Of course, during the Last Glacial Maximum, sea levels were 125 meters lower (~25,000 - 20,000 years ago), and there's a lot of evidence that the Americas were inhabitated by at least small human populations by then (although many of their settlements are likely now buried by marine sediments).
I think it's much higher complexity than you may be giving it credit for. Each of the keyboards is likely "hand-positioned", or there must be a very complex rules engine to cope with the myriad screen sizes, layout row and column count, the fact that columns are staggered, plus the hover behaviour for extra symbols, and that's not even counting things like Pinyin inputs or swipe inputs for symbol based languages. Oh and then there's the ML models for predictive text, spelling correction, key hit box detection, and swipe typing.

All this complexity means that you essentially need UI and logic to implement keyboards in the general case, and both platforms allow for third party keyboards, albeit with tight security controls given their privileged position.

In my experience, having a large team makes it harder to achieve memory safety in 'MMM' languages. The ideal situation is a tractable codebase written by a small team of competent developers who can understand the entire scope. As you introduce more people, there are more potential points of failure
The article mentions no open food coops in central or eastern Massachusetts but there are quite a few here in western Mass. Not sure why the difference but maybe it’s due to greatly cheaper rent?

Around here the "doers" (we have farmer's markets and similar) are spouses/children of actual farmers, and even though their main product may be fifty five billion bushels of ethanol wheat, the family grows some crops for personal use, and they have been "roadside standing" the excess for years; the farmers market starts as an extension of that and from there can grow.

You'll note that they already were farming for the big players.

The other half are often "hobby farm" hobbyists who may or may not grow to be an actual business (there are at least two or three honey providers that have done this around here - starting small and obviously not the primary income to being large enough to have employees).
I do, and I missed being able swipe on ios after moving to dvorak. It does take some getting used to, even for a dvorak typist, but in my subjective experience, I find the dvorak swiping accuracy to be better.

Ad spending is one of the first things to get chopped come a recession. So expect these numbers to go down.

So then the question becomes what's the profit margins? Can they absorb, say, a halving of revenue short term?

If they can't then they're going to start layoffs, and the first to go will be the ones that don't generate revenue, so the experience gets worse for users, and the pipeline of new products dwindles, and you've released a bunch of potential competitors that know your business into the labour pool.

This also removes the price support for those existing startups.

> Though this sounds counterintuitive, it’s the “gold standard” because, if you don’t do this, you leave yourself open to bias

Isn’t there just as much chance for bias if the treatment is voluntary? Maybe the people who are more likely to have health issues are less likely to treat them.

I think there is a valid question about how effective a colonoscopy is given that you get one, and a separate valid question about how effective telling people to get colonoscopies is. According to the article, this paper answer the second question strongly via “gold standard”, and the first question less strongly via secondary analysis.

Part of the reason it’s counterintuitive here is the title of the article is “effect of colonoscopy screening”, not “effect of a doctor’s invitation to have a colonoscopy screening”. The title more than suggests that we’re comparing the outcomes of actually having the screening to not having one.

> maybe the people who don’t have the time/inclination to do one would be better served by an alternative test.

I see what you’re saying - the overall effectiveness of our current system may be low because of a low rate of voluntary adoption of the colonoscopy is low, and even a lower accuracy screen could be more effective if more people opt in.

One problem with drawing a conclusion this way is it ignores the possibility for dramatic changes in either opinion or in procedure of colonoscopies. What if we had the tech to do the colonoscopy at home in private? Would that change the voluntary rate of testing dramatically?

The verbosity is not a meaningful performance impediment. It takes a trivial amount of time to write, and a trivial amount of time to read.

If the a team can distinguish between an average and excellent programmer's performance by the time it takes to read or write type information then I expect the skill and experience breadth within the team was already narrow.
"No bid" doesn't mean you log into your broker and see literally no bids for your gilts. As you rightly point out, primary dealers are obligated to supply a bid and an ask in the gilts markets, and in return receive various privileges in the same markets.

But obviously that doesn't mean that they are obligated to absorb billions of pounds in selling pressure (due to large pension funds needing to meet margin calls) without significantly moving prices, which is the question at hand, and that's what the author means by "no bid".
Is having your kids walk to school a realistic option in the modern U.S.?

I can only speak to Redmond, WA, but I live near a few schools (I walk the dog through one when school's out), and I see kids walking to school by themselves on a daily basis. The elementary school children are often accompanied by adults, but I see clusters of kids accompanying each other in groups. The middle school, I see probably approaching 100 kids(?) when school lets out, mostly in groups, some individuals, and like the neighbor kid across the street, a lot on bicycles.

Now, maybe other cities have different attitudes, and I realize not all of the stories are made up, but this "CPS will take your babies if they are outside by themselves" seems more hysteria than reality. But my data are very limited and very localized.

It's definitely more nuanced. That said, I'd rather only have to fix memory unsafety in the language than potentially every program written with it. It reduces the audit surface area to just "unsafe" and Rust itself.
I really like the car analogy for this. I will frequently go 2-3 days a week without using my car. On the days I use it, there's a roughly 75% chance I am going to drive 5-6 miles to the gym and back, and nothing else. However, a car is a necessity for me. If my car disappeared into the ether tomorrow, I would have a new one in my garage by the end of the day.
I was going to tell you that you're wrong, but in looking it up I found far more examples of encyclopedias without sources than with, so maybe that was more common.
They do. You can build custom keyboards for both. It’s just that this is native iOS, which is important because iOS allows disabling custom keyboards in certain contexts (passwords) or completely.
No, when Windows 10 was released, it generally felt more stable than Windows 8 (which, on the other hand, felt worse than Windows 7 and was skipped by many organizations who went straight from 7 to 10).
Russians, like Ukrainians, and all other government forces in the world, have extensive experience triangulating transmitted signals in warzones. Considering that these drones rely on bidirectional communication, it is obvious where the pilot is without hacking DJI. A drone operator in a warzone appears like an active microwave oven with its door stuck open operating from a deserted area. Militaries can triangulate those signals for decades.

More specifically, there are a few things I take away from this list:

* Vector integer multiply instructions may be data-dependent in some circumstances.

* Intel appears to be willing to commit to making most integer instructions constant-time.

* Some of the vector integer multiply instructions appear to be largely reusing the floating-point FMA units (VPMADD52* is a pretty strong clue there--52 bits covers the size of the mantissa in double-precision), and those units appear to have some non-constant-time behavior.

Good discussion here, but I think the main message might get lost in the noise:

* Colonoscopies reduce incidence of colon cancer but apparently not death from colon cancer.

* This is probably because colon cancer therapies are good, so even if you get colon cancer your prognosis is good.

* The take-away is not that colonoscopies reduce your chances of death, but that they reduce your chances of having to suffer colon cancer and subsequent therapies. That might still be a good trade-off.
Not OP, but I get their frustration. File browsing is not very amenable to keyboard based navigation IMO. I'm currently using fdfind through telescope.nvim as well as another neovim plugin for this, but I can easily see why someone would want to use a terminal based text editor, with a mouse based file navigation tool.
Ask HN: What was your last “ah-ha!” moment?
What was the last moment in which something technical (or otherwise) just clicked? What exactly did you learn?
Drones have an extensive use in defense industries and just because the west produces less consumer models doesn't mean the tech isn't there. It will take banning DJI for them to quickly see they're not as far ahead as you imagine. It will probably cost more to buy though.
The Army has plenty of problems you see in other large organizations related to bureaucracy, strategic initiatives, retention etc, but one thing I think they do very well is their documentation. It is generally organized into four(ish) categories of Army Doctrine Pubs (ADPs) which are summaries of first principals for the major domains the Army operates in, followed by Army Technique Pubs which cover mid-level techniques and descriptive frameworks for various types of work. Field Manuals (FMs) contain more prescriptive information and tasks for both small and large units, and finally Technical Manuals which are basically instruction manuals for specific pieces of equipment or specific tasks.

I think it's debatable given the pace of change in most technology organizations whether it's even desirable to codify the standard tasks and competencies expected from different classes of information workers (ie. SRE1 vs Data Systems Analyst) but having at least ADP level documents that allow employees to align their efforts with company strategic aims is a good idea and having some sort of reference documents for involved technical tasks probably makes sense when the work is not able to be automated.
I gave Helix a try last week and I think there are a lot of things to like about it, but until it supports soft text wrapping for prose documents it's effectively useless to me. I'm not going to bounce back and forth between neovim and helix depending on whether I'm editing code, documentation, or personal notes.

The comments on the open issue in Github are not particularly encouraging.

This is developer documentation, it's for people who want the internals.

For example, docker-desktop on arm-mac can run x86_64 images by leveraging binfmt-qemu within docker's VM. Changing that to use binfmt-rosetta should have huge gains (as there's specific hardware support to enable rosetta).

Yes it's easier to use docker. Hopefully this trickles down so that you get the benefits of this while not changing your usage at all.
I used Codementor in the past and I loved it, you pay by the minute and you get expert help in my experience.

There have been some really interesting studies which showed that in order to get colorectal cancer you have to accumulate 4-6 deletrious mutations in the same cells. People with genetic predispositions are born with 2-3 of those mutations. That's why we see this age association. (Just remember being fascinated and thought I would add some context.)

There are so many keyboard layouts for different countries and variations thereof. I very much doubt it's hand-positioned. The layout is not that hard, you can use a fairly straighforward linear constraint solver to lay it out on various different screen sizes. Surely at this level of localization it's more than an afternoon's worth, but I it's not hard in the grand scheme of things.

It may not even be incorrect. For instance if the only thing you care about is raw speed, an allocator which just grabs pages of memory and never deallocates or overwrites might be the optimal solution, especially if it's provable allocations will never grow beyond a certain upper limit.
Gah, silly me -- I forgot 'cond'!

Just throw that into the list, and ditch define.
For programmers today, an option to consider is to use plain TeX directly, by writing in Markdown or whatever, and generating the `.tex` file via a preprocessor program. After all, the facilities that LaTeX was written to provide (automatic section numbering, references, etc) can just as well (or even, more sanely) be done outside the TeX engine.

There is a catch or two:

• Writing the preprocessor will still be a bit of work — I think a promising approach is to use Pandoc, but no one has yet merged a plain TeX writer into the Pandoc repo (https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/4341 — I was briefly interested a couple of years ago, and may look into it again: it doesn't seem like a lot of work honestly).

• The main reason people use LaTeX is because of all the packages in its ecosystem that do various tweaks to the typesetting. (This is also the main problem with LaTeX: TeX itself is good; LaTeX itself is mostly fine; it's the menagerie of packages of varying quality and conflicting effects that cause all the problems that LaTeX users usually complain about.) And in the LaTeX ecosystem, there does not exist a culture of teaching how to do things without the package (just as "You might not need jQuery" is not written by the jQuery authors), so if some LaTeX package looks attractive to you, you're back to LaTeX package hell. I have some ideas here of making it easier to "steal" from a LaTeX package by showing the equivalent "generated" TeX, but they require a bit of work hacking on the TeX engine, and have never got around to it.

Anyway, in the meantime, writing in Markdown and using Pandoc to generate a LaTeX file remains a good approach IMO.
> Housing is a market where there's extremely little productivity gains available for improving the size of the pie as a whole

Sure, as long as you believe you must never change the laws around housing. In that case, you can stop the whole conversation there.

On the other hand if you wanted to actually do something you could pass a federal law or constitutional amendment giving individuals the right to posses no more than one home without undue restriction. For example, construction codes simply get more and more strict across the nation each year. For the simple reason that the industry lobbies for it, as it increases their opportunity for profit. There's no actual need for this as it isn't like humanity hasn't been building homes for thousands of years.
But what I think that also means is Intel shipped Ice Lake some time ago and this is now a “Surprise!” moment. Behavior changes like this deserve much more fanfare and, where necessary, development activity to take place in the kernel and related layers, ideally before commercial availability and relatively widespread adoption occurs.

Also interesting was Catalin’s comment on ARM: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YyNmQ2bPvf3B3Xvo@arm.com/

The intro matter is a bit hard to parse, but my understanding is that everything on that page is supposed to be constant-time, but the things that have "True" in the final column are the ones that aren't constant-time unless you twiddle on MSR on some systems.

Most of the integer instructions you'd expect to be constant-time are in fact constant-time; it's a slice of vector integer multiply (and integer multiply-adds) that are inadvertently not constant-time.
