I wonder if a solution to your use case could look something like mrustc: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc

The idea here would be to compile in a way that just assumes everything is correct and either crashes catastrophically or produces invalid output otherwise. But in doing so, it should allow at least slightly faster compilation.

You could even remove the need for this "fast and loose" compiler to do any type inference by shipping pre-processed source with all types resolved. However I don't know if this addition would fit your needs if, e.g., your goal is to be able to compile from any given commit rather than only official releases.

At very least it could be an interesting experiment to discover what tradeoffs are possible.
But... none of this makes thought experiments any less helpful or valid. If anything, the fact that Schrodinger's cat achieved the opposite goal implies that it touched on hidden fundamentals in quantum theory.
Wikipedia also says we've been through such an event at the end of Gulf War 1, when Saddam burned the Kuwaiti oil fields. There was absolutely nothing close to the nuclear winter effect.

Sagan later conceded in his book The Demon-Haunted World that his predictions obviously did not turn out to be correct: "it was pitch black at noon and temperatures dropped 4–6° C over the Persian Gulf, but not much smoke reached stratospheric altitudes and Asia was spared."

I have trouble finding another threat model which matters as an individual. Why do you encrypt your files if not to protect you from accidentally losing your things?

I would say they're deeply related: the former is the fable we use to justify that we keep letting the latter happen.
The thing about morality is that the details can differ from person to person, including what should or should not be covered by morality. Nothing wrong with advocating for your beliefs, especially if it comes with an argument about the impact on others.
> because the labor market isn’t the same kind of market that your econ 101 supply/demand curves model.

Well, sure it is. The information asymmetry/individual motivation that you speak of doesn't make things somehow magically different, it merely helps determine, along with a myriad of other factors, the values for supply and demand.

> The real question is why are Google’s salaries so low?

Because that is where supply and demand meet, just as illustrated on the your econ 101 supply/demand curve. Quite simply, they don't have to pay more because supply is sufficient at that price to satisfy the demand.
Ask HN: What makes a good open-source project? DO's and DON'Ts?
A side-project of mine is gaining some traction but I've never really managed an OSS project before. I've only worked in commercial settings and my experience with Open source is minimal.

Any recommendations for resources and tips would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Yes, which is a big reason to use credit cards.
I would personally choose fly. But that’s after years of wasting time yak shaving my spare time to use AWS/GCP/Azure.

Go check out the elixir slack. There’s a fly.io channel you can ask questions about pricing in. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to the alternatives. You can also hit me up if you have any questions. I would love to help.
Thanks, that makes sense. However, sometimes it looks like some of the best engineer's I've worked with can get work done even before technology gets popular enough to have courses :)

Also, it can sometimes be hard to create sandboxes. It's easy for Prometheus, but maybe a bit harder to AWS (I tried LocalStack before).

Nevertheless it's all good advice, thanks!
If a nice looking quarterly report is set as the single overriding goal above all other goals, it will by definition override all other goals, time horizons and externalities.

Two devices compared to dozens of locked ones including the original Surface as well as the 2nd RT.

And how are non Microsoft devices relevant to a discussion of a Microsoft device? You made the same point before...

In case you didn't notice, all your 3 replies so far have been filled to the brim with _accusations_ of FUDing, irrelevance, strawmanning and whatever without even mentioning what is irrelevant or why. Everything I say is apparently an irrelevant anecdote, even thought it is actually the historical trend of MS ARM released devices, and the anecdote if anything is the last device only. Why are your arguments any better exactly?

Yup! That period is blurring together, but this is the key part:

>For a 24-bit IV, there is a 50% probability the same IV will repeat after 5,000 packets.

I still remember being amazed by simple concepts like a dictionary attack -- five thousand sounds like a lot of something, but you could repeat five thousand packets in under five seconds when I actually tried it myself for a class or whatever.
And what's "funny" is that the same person will then worry about AI destroying the world because of the "paperclip problem".
This is very interesting advice. Sometimes just the writing things down helps us clarify my thoughts (like before we post a question here or on SO).
So what (not a question).
How We Designed and Implemented Graph Projection Feature
Made me realize that I use very few packages any more.

Hydra (most could be done in transient or without a menu), project.el (built-in), magit, org-mode, org-ql, ivy/counsel, company, lispy, smartparens-mode.

I should probably declare configuration bankruptcy and try starting over from scratch.

Last time I did was in 2016 and while it was a pain it did result in a much nicer structure for my init file and lisp directory.
Sorry, I don't believe you.
> Unless you manually seek preview updates, Windows gets updates once per month, on Patch Tuesday (a twenty-year tradition now).

That's weird, there have been multiple occasions when my gaming desktop (Win10 Pro) installed updates for multiple consecutive shutdowns and I definitely haven't opted into any additional update channels. I don't use it all that often, so those were spaced out over two weeks maybe, but definitely less than a month. They tend to take quite a while for me, too, I'd say 20-ish minutes at the least? Typical minor macOS updates take less time for me (2020 Intel 13" MBP; desktop does have a NVMe SSD and is a bit older than the Macbook). At least with Windows Pro you can postpone them like on macOS, I've used Home for a bit and forced reboots mid-game are just crazy frustrating. No idea about Windows 11, my desktop apparently can't run it, which is weird, too; I thought backward compatibility was a big thing with Windows. Same with a few Windows XP era games, apparently I have to buy remastered versions, can't get the originals to run anymore.

That's kind of a theme with me and Windows; I start out expecting things to be as good or better as on macOS (their user base is massive, surely they'll polish everything really nicely), but then reality is kinda underwhelming and frustrating. If I hibernate my PC, it invariably turns itself back on at 2 AM and won't go back to sleep even if configured to. It won't do WOL no matter what I try, scanning via a HP all-in-one device requires a HP cloud account, funnels me into an ink subscription, upload scans to their cloud and then crashes mid-scan (on macOS, that "just works" via the built-in Printers and Scanners app), the bundled Office app doesn't actually have the standalone apps (need to download the "real" Office installer for those, which they tell you nowhere at all; why don't they just bundle them like the iWork apps?), ... so at this point I've simply accepted that Windows is a bit like Linux in that as a non-expert user you have to live with a couple of weird and broken things at all times, but you can save money on hardware and can get setups Apple doesn't sell (like a comparatively inexpensive gaming desktop, though my desktop wasn't exactly cheap either). If I could have modded PC games on a more console-like platform, I'd probably move my gaming there.
Software development can be viewed as creative work. Bad things happen when creative workers and assembly line managers clash.

But, sure, there’s a lot of boilerplate and routine work to be done - that’s the low-effort stuff.
The phones are still good -- I might want a bigger one? -- but yeah the laptops have sucked for years. Touchbar was a signal they can't hire (or fire) designers properly and a symptom of larger issues since the computers used to prop up the phone department not the other way around.
"right now, I have an account at my bank, and I need to meet certain requirements to have that account."

Hello, my name is money laundering.

Why do you think the bank has those "requirements"? Do you think they just hate their customers, or do you think the government enforces this regulation onto the banks to prevent money laundering? Because it's definitely the latter.

... and it's already coming for crypto.
March 2021 was just when a vaccine was coming out. The schools in my area reopened as soon as the teachers could get vaccinated and protect themselves. Some of them were high-risk for various reasons.

> I resent that I now have to pay attention to school board elections to vote out everyone who was on it.

Voting out everyone on a school board because they implemented what were reasonable public health-based restrictions at the time to avoid the virulent contagious disease is a good way to get anti-science people on your school board. Even if it feels satisfying to you to vote them out in the short term, it is...not what you might want in the long term.

Actually, resistFingerprinting + switching to the user-agent string tor uses gets me 99% of the way there. All that’s missing is the weird window size (vertical taskbar), if I could get that to report a default size, I’d actually be better than Tor (they have a bunch of responses slightly more unique than FF with resistFingerprinting).

But it’s academic for me anyway, I have
Accept-Language en-US,en;q=0.7,de-DE;q=0.3
which is close enough to unique that nothing else really matters.
is there the need for a blog post saying a command has a specific usage given how the unix philosophy is exactly to have many composable specialised commands ?

Interesting that the connector (12VHPWR) in question seems to be safe for only 40 (forty) cycles. That's really not a lot, as these things go.

Of course it's an internal connector and not something you're supposed to plug/unplug all that often, but I still think it sounds like a really low number.
Enums and Pattern Matching in Rust
What's the reason for this unusual no-actual-clipboard design? The user's mental model of a clipboard is that things are copied to the clipboard, so breaking that mental model has to have a reason?

Obviously this is more elegant for several reasons (performance, security/privacy) etc. But still: the fact that it doesn't survive a shutdown sounds problematic.

Can a clipboard manager fill that gap completely, i.e. copy and persist data so that apps don't have to take care of it themselves?

One huge benefit of the no-actual-clipboard design that I can immediately see is the fact that probably 99% of all cut/copy/paste operations are within the same application, and this design allows a shortcut where the data can be cloned as the application sees fit. For example, an immutable data structure can just be added as another reference. If I have two copies of an image resource in my document, I can just use the same image in both locations. With a serializing copy the cost of serialization for the copy must be paid up front because we can't know whether the same application will be the receiver.
they curate the hardware and develop popos for their hardware. but they aren't building a whole new hardware pipeline like framework is. Its still a small company.
> Profit motives need to be re-oriented to account for biospheric damage.

I completely agree with that. I think markets should be informed of the total cost of their activity through taxation of resources (like energy, metals and such) and damaging activity (like manufactureing of plastic bottles and other things that become the problem at their end of life or CO2 emissions).

>want to bring the iOS look and feel to the Mac. It was unnecessary, it has broken so many tried-and-true Mac interface guidelines, and it has delivered a massive blow to the whole operating system’s identity. Just to make the Mac what, more fashionable?

Actually it’s so when Macs eventually run iPad OS it’s less of a shock to the system.
To a certain extent, you're describing the KParts framework from KDE 3/4 times (I don't know if it still exists today). Many people remember Konqueror as a file manager and web browser, but it was actually a generic URL navigator that would load the right KParts component for whatever thing was being displayed. For an HTML file, the web browser component. For a directory, the file browser component. For a video, the media player component.

When I was developing Palapeli (a puzzle game that ships as part of KDE Games), I did a KParts version of it for fun in a few lines of code. That made it so that if you had a puzzle file stored in a folder, you could navigate to it in Konqueror and the game view would come up inside of Konqueror.

Back in the day, I dreamed of a fully document-oriented computing experience. Sadly the world has settled on the service-oriented experience of today, largely controlled by a small number of gigantic fiefdoms.
Love the idea! This could turn into a regular event! I may even sign up to demo as well :)
We Indians take it for granted, but UPI[1] is a brilliant system. We make payments for something as small as ₹1 if needed. Transaction of ₹10[2] for a cup of tea is a very regular and ordinary happening.

2. ₹10 is roughly $0.12 (as of today).
Interactible computers in general are common in video games. But rarely does the interface even have nearly the complexity as a real OS. I imagine there must be some games that go all the way and run an actual OS in a VM or emulator though. Similarly to some games that let you play the predecessor/inspiration from an in-game device like e.g. Day of the Tentacle which includes a fully playable Maniac Mansion.
I'll be honest, I couldn't parse most of what you said, but I can at least confirm that there is no Bootcamp on Apple silicon, Apple didn't port it. So if you depend on Bootcamp for gaming, I fear you're out of luck on recent Macbooks.
There are only three detectors available (two LIGOs and VIRGO), and the strongest signal unfortunately also had an overlapping glitch, so there are still some data reduction issues that make interpretation difficult:

WhatsApp uploads the address book from the user's phone to Meta's servers and after that it's unclear to outsiders what they do with it. Hence "unknown".

The 8-pin connector is also just an outdated design. It's unnecessarily bulky, and rated at a measly 150 W. The idea wasn't for you to put 4 of these (32 pins and wires) together to power a single device.

For reference, an Anderson PP45 connector pair (from 1966!) is smaller than the original 8-pin connector and would handle 660 W at 12V reliably at up to 10000 cycles (and can even handle hot-unplug).
A bit? The site claims it found a host on literally every single private IP that exists ;) And closing it nearly killed my FF (full freeze for ~10 seconds).
Good news, then. We can avoid destroying our ecosystem and destroy companies that make shoddy goods that go quickly into the bin in one stroke!
IMHO the entire Linux kernel should be rewritten as a microkernel in Rust. Another option would be to use the seL4 kernel and salvage parts of Linux to become device drivers and services.
Yes, and this is exactly what is happening. Makes no sense for new drivers to spend time on gearboxes as electric cars don’t need them.
I will admit I never understood why Ada never took off (is it only because of the tooling being propertiary for a long time?), but c# is not as memory safe as rust.
Disabling JS is enough to almost perfectly fingerprint you.
It's not that I don't think roguelike should be used except in strictest interpretation. It's that the current "genre" isn't a genre, it doesn't describe how you play the game, it doesn't describe what you do.
Sorry, I keep forgetting that a MacBook is considered a typical notebook here, I meant those $400 notebooks people buy for school and such. Obviously for 3 to 7 times as much money you get desktop-level performance, no argument there.

> WhatsApp's infrastructure is not centralized; I would bet that this outage was caused by an engineering mistake, not by the failure of some datacenter or cable.

If one engineering mistake can take it down, it's not decentralized. Or an action, not necessarily a mistake. It's at least somewhat centralized. An individual can be asked to take it down. In a correctly decentralized service, that can't happen.
I will top that with Croatian olive oil is the best in the world, earned many prices, but is not available to buy internationally.

Realistically is it even that bad of an idea?

The damage numbers are big but that damage areas really are quite small. What area of Florida has has the closest time of period of two devastating hurricane strikes?
Is that time period measured in decades?

I’ve been in Florida for 25 years and haven't suffered a direct strike or flood damage yet. Plenty of close calls turned into hurricane parties but it would have been a pretty poor decision to leave because of fear of catastrophic loss and I’m guessing it’s the same for everyone here. If these houses being bought don’t expect catastrophic loss in the next 30 years then it’s as sane a decision to purchase as anywhere else.

"Parents" buy PC for children's better grades (misunderstood as education process), read: to throw their responsibility for teaching kids away;
and SPhones/Tablets to make kids happy read: avoid them & avoid raising them completely. (instead of creating the best educated friends you never had)

In era of Telly being religious altar & oracle, buying a boring tool without feature of entertainment and non-marketable as colorising life / uplifting status seems incomprehendable.

If, only boring tools were available children having other options would still not use them without pressure / good faithed convincing / bribery, so only these without other alternatives would use it.

Extreme majority is not teached to teach & convince/evangelise. What they know is forced through obligatory schooling or coerced by popular media reeducation disguised as entertainment & socialisation.

It conditioned minds and culture to prefer a sweet poisoned fruit or fool's gold over juicy beef steak earned through hard & uncomfortable.
And it's even marketed as free willed choice & freedom..

Families teaching & training kids can fit in a statistical margin error.
Not counting ideological training though.. which vary between better or even worse, usually just mirroring the present & future telling magic window.

Digressing

Being a loner born under communist occupation as kid dumped on with an old german-languaged windows-like "pc" & printer, with only some black-white architect-work apps, i can say from experience:

God damn all foreign languages (Babel tower curse..); Bless universal language of self-explainatory images & idiotproof systems with one choice one action principle, learning by exploring & building own features from simple blocks on fly.

Words, icons, images are descriptors & ideograms.
If we count numbers as pictures then words are made of pictures too - just with predefined abstract meaning behind each composition.

We can map, plot and precisely group common words and their meanings & relationships on machine learning multidimensional graphs.
So you can also use these algorithms nowadays called AI to find each word's & meaning's image/icon approximation counterpart.
It would be weird if nobody yet tried it and geberelise it for most common worldwide languages.
It would create the only truly existing allhuman Lingua Franca.
∆∆∆

Image wins by representing direct visual & intuitive least abstract meaning. Like icons with human gestures. Like emotions.

It's direct representation of real distinct thing you keep in visual memory along with all other instances of this idea/class & it's common relations to other things.

But if you don't give a fully separate choice you will never know which symbolic system is better in a fair fight.

Just the border between both is blurred & has no codifier.

In time universal self-explanatory meanings will mutate adding new popular abstractions & both will merge.

Like me eventually learning the Mordor Lang words on the clicked magic boxes.
