I'd argue that these tests are more robust to changes in Rust and changes in C2Rust that change the output in trivial ways. I don't see how you could maintain the sort of test suite you're describing in a project like this. If you made a change that changed the Rust output, you'd invalidate huge parts of your test suite and generate lots of noisey failures. It'd make it fast too expensive to introduce all but the most critical changes.

We don't care what Rust gets generated; we care that the Rust which is generated has the correct behavior. Testing that is where the value is.

I'd love to dig into this a little bit. Any ideas? The hypothetical examples that stand out to me are security engineering type roles in which the teams in question might not actually own the operations of infrastructure they build/maintain. I know a tiny set of people who work on operating systems at various levels for consumer devices (i.e., Android these days). How prevalent are those jobs? How do they stack up in terms of comp and hiring demand?

Yes, at this stage I wouldn't advise anyone to try using this in production, it's the first version of a side project after all. But I'm really surprised by the response so far. I'll definitely keep improving it.

No it doesn't go without saying. People will only come up with countless weak excuses if their real reason isn't being addressed. That happens because no matter how many weak excuses you address, their real reason remains standing and continues to motivate them to block AI tooling.

If their "real reason" of CP use cases doesn't exist right now because AI tooling explicitly bans CP use cases, they have no reason to block AI tools.

I phrased that badly, I really just mean audio as the platform, but I wanted to highlight that people have headphones and earbuds, are happy to wear them for long periods of time either at work or outside, and in a lot of cases have home devices with audio interfaces. When people try to push a vision of the metaverse as some embodied experience across multiple services and devices, with more ambient interactions with people and data, I genuinely think you'd get more mileage dreaming up new audio services to fulfil this rather than janky 3D stuff requiring a headset nobody wants to wear. I don't think it takes an audio only device such as the one linked to be able to envision audio-first interfaces that are better than the current generation of very limited and disjointed assistants.

Writing and speaking are such different media – for example, you can go back and reread a sentence, but you can't wind back time in a live conversation; you can signal how something should be interpreted,* give parsing hints, and add emotion using inflection and tone while speaking, but you can't do this in writing. So I think we should expect good writing to look different than good speaking.

PG might have in mind then the strange affectations that seem to grip people sometimes when they write, but I can't think of any examples off the top of my head.

Ok, so 2566 weekly deaths from covid: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

That’s 366 per day currently. The crash stats you linked to say 36,096 deaths from crashes in 2019.

366 x 365 = 133,798

So what I see is there’s currently 3.7 times as many people dying from covid in US that from crashes.
A decent portion of those negative reviews stem from various controversies the app has gone through over the years combined with a passionate and easily angered user base.

The main two being:

- The 7.0 UI update in which certain features such as playlists were removed & the UX streamlined.

- The move from a paid app to free with subscription.

It’s an excellent app for the most part, certainly on par with others in that list.
This is a really minor detail, but — how long are the lane dashes? It looks like they're 50% white, 50% space, but in real life they are actually a lot longer and spaced a lot farther apart than most people think. A tiny detail to consider if you're going for realism.

What about maintenance of the physical structure? PV panels have no moving parts but:

1. The inverter and other electrical systems do fail (surprisingly frequently).

2. Solar is very spread-out: maintaining a geographically large facility is not trivial (vegetation, water drainage, cables etc.)

3. Batteries also require maintenance, and are an inherent part of any independent PV installation (if the site relies on the grid, it is no longer independent).

The problem I found with blogging is that I only have about two year’s of things to say, and either I start scraping the bottom of the barrel or I had to take a long break and then circle back, reiterating 80% of what I already said but with new or better examples. If I was forced to have an audience for ten years I’d just be saying crazy shit all the time.

I do not want to be too mean, because I know you are trying to help the parent ( and overall you deliver commonly repeated points ), but for the sake of context:

<<1) It's not a democracy. Since WWII the US has gotten along with democracies and fought with autocracies. See Western Europe and the USSR. (Only applies to major powers)

Saudi Arabia, Iraq and others being clear counter-examples to such democracies.

<< 2) The government is very willing to use their power to impact other countries. For example, forcing movie makers to adopt specific points of view to sell to Chinese citizens. They are the only non-US, non-EU country with much control over the US market, and all the EU seems to want to use that power for is GDPR popups and forcing Tesla/Apple to use industry standard chargers.

EU has made several attempts at establishing an actual army to back up its economic strength with some actual muscle, but those efforts were defeated each time. It is not a given that EU would behave the same way US and China does if it wielded more 'direct' power.

When I started building Outstatic I haven't had heard about Netlify CMS, Tina CMS, nor any other alternatives... thought I was being original with the idea of a UI to manage .md files on Git lol

After I've launched people pointed the existence of those CMSs. I really built this as something to scratch my own itch, halfway through I decided it could be a library.

But as someone else mentioned, it's quite hard to think of a business model around this. I'll keep working on it just so that I can use it in my own blog. If other people want to use it, that's great.

Ask HN: Should I open source my next project?
Hi HN,

4-5 years ago, I created a desktop application called Laravel Kit[1] and open sourced it. The repo has almost 1k stars on GitHub. I was eagerly waiting for a single donation to come to my PayPal. Because I was young and needed to make money through coding without the hassle of managing a business. And I managed to get 0$ donation. But I still push updates to it.

I have some software project ideas in my mind and I want to sell them. It's a tool primarily targeted for Linux desktops but can also work on other OSs. I am concerned that the community might not accept the project because it's not open source and they adore FOSS softwares. The tool surely will have some amazing features compared to it's free alternatives. But FOSS doesn't pay the bills.

What is your opinion about this? Should I just improve my software engineering skills as I am currently studying Computer Science at a uni? or should I get on with the business idea?

Have you actually tried it out? I lost several domains through no fault of mine (2 times fault of registrar, 1 time fault of national TLD manager) and absolutely nobody helped me. Even tried suing - in 2 cases (the registrar fault) I got small monetary compensation for lost profit (so good luck with personal domains) but the domain was always lost forever. And when it was the TLD's fault I got nothing whatsoever.

It's all about the level you want to edit the patch at. With PD you are likely to generally work at a lower level than in Rack/Cardinal, but you're still patching together elements of varying complexity.

I haven’t referred to CGPP much lately, but maybe it has something to do with the time Andy van Dam loaned me one of his swimsuits and it was slightly too small for me. :P

These guys are stupid, it's the middle of the stream wars, the winner is going to take it all, and they are busy waging a war against their customers.

They could accomplish the same by giving an incentive for people to pay for their own accounts. Instead of a fee, they could introduce a referral discount. They could introduce more personalization and social features. They could highlight the benefit of passwordless authentication. They could introduce a family plan. They could offer a more restricted shared play option, and upsell from there.

I think the false issue of cellphone radiation is used to distract the public from the real ways which cellphones effect them; the way apps modify user behavior, and the way that always being available for others to contact effects the human psyche.

This gentleman is scaremongering at best. A good summary is here [1], but perhaps the most salient point is that we have not seen an increase in cancer rates or any other kind of related public health indicators commensurate with the proliferation of and increasing usage of cell phones. There is not even a correlation to be found, let alone causation.

There is a lot of crap science out there.

Long story short - I have a very engaging job doing React (specifically React Native) on daily basis, and I felt like I have been not touching different areas of React while doing so, and I didn't want to be left behind.

So after thinking about how I can change that, I came up with an app idea that would maybe help me stay in the loop with React trends.

As a user, I wanted to assert my current level of knowledge and get exposed to different types of React questions, and get feedback and insights if I am not on the right path.

The main idea of the app is that you get a set of questions that you need to answer first, then get feedback if you are correct, and afterward get access to an article or documentation explaining a specific concept, task, etc. Afterward, the app will adjust my "knowledge level" based on how I did and serve me with harder questions.

Currently, a few of my developer friends are using the app with me and we are trying to figure out if the concept is valid, but would love to hear any feedback possible, especially from people that are in the industry.

And yeah, it also can help you get prepared for the interview.
It seems like the highest risk activity is holding a cellphone up to your ear, because it's a high-powered transmitter at close proximity (see inv. square law) to a sensitive organ. The risks of using a phone 16 inches from your face is probably much lower.

> For starters, it's very common for criminals to have a different "opinion" about their crimes than the victims. Society doesn't just stop fighting crime because a consensus is hard to find with the perpetrators.

There's a bit of begging the question going on here. My whole point is that we shouldn't take all of our moral intuitions and call those who violate them criminals. And the question of which "crimes" have "victims" is sometimes ambiguous, e.g. with abortion and medical experimentation.

Some of our moral intuitions should be enforced. Others shouldn't. We have a responsibility to think about which is which. It doesn't mean there has to be universal agreement. But there does have to be some pragmatism, otherwise we just fight forever because we can't agree on everything and no progress gets made - or worse, the world is consumed with violence, one of the main outcomes we were trying to avoid.
