If you really need to do something different at each release point then you can have do_something_special_on_deallocation_failure() notify the error to the release point by a number of different mechanisms.

Yes, all of this makes the code more complicated. The point of these features is not to make the code simpler, but to make it more robust. Rust is also more complicated than C.
But don’t look at your phone while biking or you’ll get a ticket!
Of course it's against policy.

It would also rightly be ignored.

A visitor charging their phone? Ignore it. A resident running an extension cord to the carpark to charge the car of a different visitor every day? Enforce it.

Don't ask bad-faith questions like this. There's nothing gained by arguing the extremes of a case.
Rust is 12 years old. 1.0 was released in 2015.

We've been past the "it's the shiny new thing" phase for a while.
> China has said that they believe that, in the event of hostilities over Taiwan, they will be obligated to strike US forces everywhere in the region -- and the US Navy still has a strong presence in Japan. Also S. Korea and the Philippines.

This would be starting World War III. It would be akin to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, with the main difference being, we have thousands of nukes and China does not. This course of action is so profoundly stupid that I cannot imagine China taking it.

At the faang I worked at, some small portion of servers ran the sanitizers in prod, so you’re not reliant on test coverage nearly so much for catching rare issues.

Just wanna add that WSL(2) is one the best things Microsoft has ever done, and has opened up Windows as a true developer's OS. The universality is amazing, and now I feel like I can truly use almost any piece of software OR hardware I can dream of (short of MacOS exclusive software, which is mostly creative media stuff anyway).
This is a really intriguing approach! I can see why it works.
I feel like we saw this exact story before. IIRC the guy sold a company truck or van.
> And the people who do, used to be people who don't.

Yep. Walled gardens kill curiosity.

Curiosity is what got me into this industry, way before I knew it could be a career. Playing around, messing with files that ran my games, making web forums and learning to change how they look.
Pickcode is meant for K-12 education as an alternative to block programming. The end goal is to have a WYSIWG editor for web apps with behavior defined using the visual programming language.

MBScript looks great and I’d love to talk about your learnings from it. My contact is on the pickcode.io landing page if you want to chat!
Really nice work, and it's very pretty... so I feel bad for saying this..

Zulip has really won my heart. It's not perfect, but up-front nature of the threads, the ease of integration and the minimal but extremely useful built-in set of tools (like a clock that is always the correct timezone for all people viewing it, simple polls and the ability to spawn jitsi sessions)

I'm really hard pressed to even try anything else, I'm all-in on Zulip.
The essaie focuses on image and I can’t help making the parallel with digital sound editing tools, which are [in my very uneducated opinion] more numerous and diverse.
No, what I'm saying FTPS is just plain FTP over TLS connection, there is nothing special about it. When you talk to a web server, do you refer to the piece of software that does communication for you "http client" or "https client" or "http and or https <version> client"?

What I'm saying: You're being needlessly pedantic. When people say FTP, they might mean SFTP, it might talk about FTPS or plain FTP. If I read original comment correctly, it is about FireFTP, it talks all 3 commonly used flavors of FTP. Notice how it's called FireFTP and not FireSFTP/FTP/FTPS...

Me, personally, always specifically clarify that I'm talking about plain-text FTP when I talk about plain-text FTP because of how bonkers it is.
It takes a relatively short time to be proficient enough to make useful contributions, maybe half a year to a year to be confident. You can give an experienced developer the Rust book and have them contributing to a Rust codebase quickly.
Maybe the gauge of success isn’t 100% but much lower - a 15% success rate doesn’t seem terrible, as was quoted for several projects. Maybe we better custodianship you can make that better, but I’ve seen quotes elsewhere that even with the most aggressive stewardship up to 70% of planted trees in afforestation efforts die. Maybe carpet bombing with seedlings and being happy with the residual survival is the game and we should be happy? Careful stewardship may not be scaleable, but mass planting is. That 15% delta might be dwarfed by the scale of effort possible.
Waited for this for so long! Thanks GitHub.

But organization tokens would also be nice so you don't have to rely on one person to manage it.
As a stepfather who came into my stepdaughter's life when she had just turned 10, I'm not sure how this makes me feel.....
This is absolutely right, the worst part of windows installs of the past? The weird crappy OEM software bundled onto new devices, Norton anti-virus trials etc. Now you've got the same thing with Android, but instead of a couple of difficult to shake trials, the entire operating system is dreck, crap from a hardware company that has put the worlds worst software engineers to the task of pimping out adware. Oh and because of the "value added" customization you're going to stop receiving critical security updates in 18 months.

It's a weird sort of alternative universe where Google acts like Microsoft did, but Google isn't actulaly hegemonic in the OS space, so they actually suffer for their screw ups where Microsoft didn't.

Bluesky is Twitter's right? Will be cool if they come away with something actually decentralized. Trial in beta with hackers, then one day, in-place swap Twitter to run on it. Pipe dream?
They're so loyal that they're working for the guys who planned 9/11, and not just working for them, but giving them expertise.
Maybe someone should have told Meta that when they bought Giphy!
Socializing is an important part of building relationships. No developer is an island, with remote work I have much weaker relationships with my coworkers and we collaborate a decent amount less. It's much, much harder to figure out what other teams are working on/stuck on. Generally everyone is just more silo'd, and I don't think that's good for productivity, growth, or my mental health. In the office I'd end up learning new things constantly talking in the hall or at lunch. Now I rarely talk to coworkers about non work things which means we also end up talking about work less.
Looking at the satellite photos, a lot of the Island is still quite barren.

Strangely enough, the Google maps satellite imagery is almost useless. Use Apple maps instead. If not on an Apple device, you can access Apple maps via https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ascension+island (note: satellite imagery is not available this way on my iDevice).

Here is another BBC article, which I think is far more balanced and talks about the negative issues of the biological cost of the planting: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36076411

The last volcanic eruption was 1508 or so. I did a quick Google to find some information on how long takes it generally takes for vegetative regeneration after volcanic eruptions. Looks like it depends on type of eruption and rainfall: “Mount Kelud in East Java has erupted on a 15–37-years cycle for the past centuries [snip] Within 3 years of the eruption, stem diameters were 3–10 cm. [snip] being able to establish itself rapidly in the extreme conditions that prevail after a recent ash deposition event (given the short return period of eruptions), but by enriching the ash deposits with nitrogen, paves the way for grasses to take over, which in turn delay succession to other woody vegetation” (not sure if the landscape was purely volcanically virgin). Obviously it can also takes centuries in the example of Ascension. A study in Hawaii looked at the order that types of vegetation took hold: https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/science/5/chap8...
This is how school must be. I'd rather pay people like him to create interactive content than pay the school to teach my kids useless material in dry, rigid ways.
In case of the MacBook and the iPad, seems like it’s more about the OS. At least that’s what most comments here are mentioning when comparing an iPad to a MacBook.
Funny, I've discovered scuttlebutt, that you're talking about, while I was reading about cluster membership and fault detection protocol. I was so confused of how all of this chat rooms have to do with what I was reading about just a minute ago.
That’s great! I thought about something like that. Do any smart home devices exist that can do that from the box?
I'm not familiar with the internals and what goes into supporting Gen1 vs Gen2 but is it not possible they could have allowed this new iPad to support both?

Gen1 for those who have already invested in one and Gen2 for new customers they hope to attract or those who already own a Pro device and want a secondary tablet as well.
CLion now ships a cross platform C++ framework with it?

As for Visual Studio, yeah it is great in all aspects, except having nothing else beyond MFC to offer on the GUI department, WinUI is still a mess after UWP.

In any case your examples are for C++ IDEs, reinforcing my case of C++ tooling versus Rust.

I have a 1 year old, whom I've been taking to playgrounds nearby me here in San Francisco since he was 6 months old. He is on his naked feet, in a public space, almost daily and gets great joy out of it, and there are lots of super clean, really nice facilities here. I've also been biking him since he hit 20 pounds, at 9 months.

There are acquaintances of mine closer to 2-10x as wealthy as I am, and they have never taken their 1 year olds to a playground. They drive everywhere. They don't childproof their homes, they are filled with designer furniture. They have big playpens. They're definitely elite educated. They are certainly aware of the benefits of this kind of development / play for their children. They own all the same Wirecutter approved crap as I do, so they are online, they have read this stuff.

These are cultural differences. They are not motivated by racism or something like that - you know, potentially encountering the "other" at the playground is not really what it's about.

People feel the outside world is dirty and their babies are clean and that dirt is stress. Imagine this for 10 years. You will be driving your kids a quarter of a mile.

The best thing to do would be a viral Instagram momfluencer campaign. This is just how the "clean" people think and consume. You do not comprehend how stressful children are for this group. It's bimodal.
I havent used Zulip. Is Zulip searchable and indexable through search-engine (at least Google?). If yes, I agree that Zulip is a better fit as its a more mature product. If not, the use case Linen is solving here is totally different.
Essays. Some of the better substacks are worth collecting and publishing as books, like Montaigne's Essais.

A newsletter is for events, essays are for ideas and reasoning. Substack is a good place for the latter.
Russia and Iran weren't behind 9/11, Saudi Arabia (or at least key parts of the current ruling royal family) was.
The benefit is that our collective genius isn’t mined by mega corps and rented back to us. That we exist as more than mindless resources to be tapped for profit.

Again, if (for argument’s sake) we want to maximize the effectiveness of the AI, why are we okay with Microsoft intentionally omitting one of the most important codebases in human history — which it unambiguously has the right to use — from its training set?
I am an engineer by trade, but I would argue product is more important than engineering. WHAT you work on is ultimately more important than HOW it is achieved from my experience. Yes, bad engineering will ruin a product, but it is all moot if you are not working on the right thing. So many companies I have worked with are working on the wrong thing. Another way to put it is, a company with a great product that has bad engineering will outperform a company that has great engineering but a bad product. Product/market fit rules all. Once I understood this I was able to work with the product team better.
It still makes no sense why the government doesn't just subsidize all evs equally. I understand that riding a bike is a lot to ask for some people, but money is cheap for our government so you might as well offer a more reasonable subsidy.
And gronkels describe greckels as schlongusses.

I will quote another poster's comment:
"""
1) There really were mass graves in Bucha. This was known even before the departure of the Russians and there is a video with burials. But it's also not a secret that in Bucha the Ukrainians destroyed a lot of Russian equipment that was driving through the streets from artillery. And just as many residential buildings were destroyed - an accompanying zherb. So all these victims are victims of Ukrainian artillery. They are silent about it. But this is a fact.

2) The corpses on the street, obviously defiantly laid out - to create the effect that the city is littered with corpses. It just doesn't make any sense. Well, just think with your head, how could this happen? People stood on the road in different places and the Russians shot them at the same time? That's bullshit.

3) The biggest puncture of propaganda and staging is the statement that there is a satellite image of where the bodies lie on March 11th. And so they had to lie until April 1, that is, 20 days. On the video of the Ukrainians on April 1, there is not even a hint that the bodies have been lying there for 20 days. This is complete nonsense. It turns out that the Russians could not allocate 5 minutes in 20 days to throw these bodies into the truck and take them out if they needed to hide these "terrible crimes"

4) We were shown video from the camera and from one drone. But we don't know when it was filmed. On the camera, two military men are leading people - the Ukrainians could have filmed this on April 1-2, at the same time that they were also staging a general staging with corpses.
"""

Make your conclusions from this as you will, or keep consuming the propaganda that the media fits you.
> not difficult.

And yet, not so common especially on popular websites with $$$ development costs.
Yes, there are still many problems in need of a solution in the Netherlands. I sometimes wonder if they'd get solved better when managed by boring bureaucrats who do thorough analysis and slowly implement consistent long-term policies, without too much politic influence, like our infrastructure.
> why can't we have an optional modern garbage collector built into a systems language?

It's possible in C#. Some language and runtime features like lambdas insist on using the GC, but with some care they can be avoided. The usability becomes worse without these features, but IMO that's not a dramatic downgrade.

Many pieces of the standard library in modern .NET don't require managed heap. Instead, they operate on stuff like Span<byte> which can be backed by anything: unmanaged heap, native stack, or even the memory mapped to user space by a Linux device driver (I did it with DRM, V4L2 and ALSA devices).
I wonder who at mega bank and hedge fund isn't using excel...

My experience at mega bank is that the IT department is often delusional about what business users actually do.
> I think the straw that broke the camel's back was the city's demand that they relocate the electrical panels. This means that all the interior wiring in the house now has to run to the new panel location - a huge expense. I'm not sure why they couldn't just move only the meters to be more accessible to the power company & firefighters[1] and then run a longer service cable from there to the original panels. That would be much cheaper.

You’re correct, you don’t need to move the panels, but you do need to provide a emergency service disconnect on the exterior of the house. You could leave all the existing branch wiring in place, assuming it is up to code, and refeed the existing panels from the new service entrance location. The relevant code section in the NEC is 230.85, added in 2020.

A large portion of the cost is new panels with AFCI and GFCI breakers, they’re $50-100 each for a 15A 1p breaker, probably $1500-2500 for each panel.
I don’t actually have an iPad, only iPhone. But if you give me a couple of hours I will do so and reply to your comment with my results
I don't know.

More to the point, though, I don't know that it matters. I wouldn't expect them to have a particular useful view on the matter or take them as an authority because they're supposedly "unbiased".
Working for Raytheon vs working for KSA is like the difference between buying an index that has a bunch of AAPL and buying AAPL. You're "fractionally" working for KSA (and whoever else).
Start by removing C++ from Rust compiler.

Then go around for Khronos, NVidia, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Unreal, Godot,.... to support Rust on their SDKs.
I have a friend who bought one to replace her aging laptop with the iPad pro. She wanted it for the touchscreen to navigate and touch up photos (but not via pencil really). But she does also use it often for spreadsheets and email as well, and since you can have multiple apps side by side now, it works for her. She does this at her work environment which doesn't have space for say, dual screens or an office, so it makes sense for her.
Who cares? Will it run Linux or not?
It seems there are always lots of web development agencies looking for junior devs. I have no idea how difficult it is to find a remote work as a junior dev, but I know a lot of agencies are working remotely or mostly remotely these days so I wouldn't have thought it would be too much of a problem.

Here in the UK I'd say around 90% of development roles are remote anyway now so I think you just need to put out your CV on a few job boards to be honest... I'm sure you'll find something eventually, especially if you can be flexible in terms of salary and part-remote.
on the flip side, a lot of kids experiences before 12 will be forgotten, some will be super memorable for their entire lives, but a lot of their memories of you as a "parent" and who you are as a person will be after the age of 12.
Feels odd writing this, but for me, being able to defy this was a positive consequence of the pandemic.

I lived alone after I finished college and started working. 3.5 years later this whole pandemic things starts. I ended up moving back home for 2 years because my job went full remote. My siblings and brother-in-law (sister's husband) joined as well.

It was surreal living together again as adults.
The core complaint about Stripe getting back to you is patently false -- it's simple enough to request a callback and a human from Stripe will call you. Typically within minutes.

He says this is his weekend hobby. I really wish he could work on these things full-time. The world needs more people like him.
I don't think it was quite that. But from the conversation, he apparently was of the opinion that wherever the business was incorporated at was his place of work. As in even if he was in Norway but the business was registered in New York, he'd be working in New York.

I'm not an employment lawyer, but I don't think it works like that.
Increasingly, I find that companies will present you the content they want you to see (likely the content they are being paid to show you) rather than the content you want to see.
For you the stats will be different. And that’s fine.

It’s not like it’s the best 75%.
Makes a lot more sense if you consider the idea that "pro" has become a luxury designation rather than the audience they're marketing towards.

Actually if SABRE were a person it could run for president I think.
Yeah, I had a Withings semismart watch, one of their cheaper models without a screen. It integrated a pedometer, and had a dial had that would show steps taken, it moved from 0 to 100% of your goal. One had to pair it to the Withings Android app to set not just the goal for number of steps/day, but even for setting the time.

I sold it after a few months, realizing how much I missed a second hand and a glow-in-the-dark face. Also, the app had a ton of telemetry going back to Withings.

Building your own you would be in full control of the data.

Honestly if if a big enough organisation hasn't disabled untrusted Word macros by policy several years ago their odds of being ransomware victims by now would be close to 100%, and based on what I've seen the odds of having been victims 10+ times are pretty high. One new malware in this space isn't game changing, and new fully undetectable variations show up every day.
> That's not necessarily true. It sounds like most of the upgrades are about convenience to the power company. Not anything safety related, which is why older properties are exempt.

The exterior service disconnect rule added in 2020 is safety related, it’s so firefighters can kill electrical power to a home from the outside to make it safe to enter. It has nothing to do with the utility.
I got one of these once and deep in the fine-print was a non-compete clause. I understand they have even less bite than an NDA but even so, that’s a bit sneaky…

Instead of refusing to sign it, I asked for 20k compensation instead. They refused so that was that.
