Because of the Crater runs which Mara mentions, the Rust teams are actually in a good place to judge what the right call here is.

In practice, for a programming language, even something relatively simple like C, the specification is too woolly to be enough, and so the fact of what compilers actually do matters. So Rust having a specification would not magically prevent this problem.

Rust's Crater runs allow sunlight from the real world to intrude into decision making. Suppose it is discovered that although the docs say X doesn't happen, actually the compiler does X. Instead of "I bet lots of people rely on X, we must change the specs to match" versus "I bet everybody trusted our spec, which says X doesn't happen, fix the compiler" we have real facts. "Popular crates cool_stuff and jims_other_stuff both rely on X in versions from the last 18 months. Their authors both said they tried this and assumed the documentation was wrong. We should update the documentation to match reality" vs "There's only one crate which uses X, it's a test case in a sub-component of obscure_doodad 0.0.1 from 2017, it appears to receive no usage, and two of the other test cases in obscure_doodad fail on current Rust, so perhaps it is just broken anyway? We should just fix the compiler"

The C++ people couldn't have done this twenty years ago. Today they probably could attempt this with various Free Software C++ codebases out there (e.g. GitHub's C++ projects), but as well as considerable technical effort to attempt this, it would be a political burden because lots of non-Free stuff believes it has secret sauce and so vague and unsourced claims about what does or doesn't exist in proprietary C++ are a big problem for compatibility. If you're on team "Don't change X" of course you'll claim huge industrial partners you've seen rely on X in code you can't show anybody. If you're on team "X is obsolete garbage no-uses" you'll claim it's apparent nobody relies on X.

This is much less true for Rust. There obviously is proprietary Rust, including in-house projects and stuff that's deliberately proprietary rather than just nobody cared, but Crate covers a lot of what's out there.
My son started playing games (with me) at 4 yo (partly because we were all locked indoors for months on end).

Anecdotally - and providing you use some discretion as to choice of game - I’ve found it absolutely fascinating to watch both the pace of development of problem-solving skills, and some of the frankly astounding leaps of logic and intuition young kids are capable of. I vividly remember one rock-moving puzzle in Breath of the Wild that had me stumped until he piped up with a proposal that turned out to be the correct solution. Fascinating stuff.
It shouldn't be this hard to stop a service gracefully. This is far, far more complicated than SysV init, where you just need to drop a script into /etc/init.d symlink it from the appropriate rc directories. (For shutdown/reboot, you'd create symlinks in rc5.d and rc6.d named KNNwhatever, where NN is an integer that specifies the order the script will be run in. The "K" stands for "kill".)

Edit: Note that my example runlevels are for Solaris, other UNIX/Linux OSes will vary.
The last two years have proven that remote learning at the K-12 level does not exist.
awesome! UT is probably my favorite PC shooter - have so many memories of running a LAN version of UT2003 back in high school and playing with a few friends during open hours.

Don't know why, but the UT series has, for me, been more enjoyable than modern FPS games like CoD. I'd take UT99 or UT2003/4 or the more recent UT over any crap that EA puts out every year.
If by "radio comms", you mean playing a pre-recorded emergency message on a loop telling everyone to get out of the way.

It can't visually identify non-ADS-B traffic (and I'm not even sure yet if it will avoid ADS-B equipped traffic?), it can't comply with ATC clearances, it can't coordinate with other pilots in the pattern, and it will happily fly your aircraft right into potentially-fatal icing conditions. It certainly can't be used during routine flight.

Garmin Autoland is a wonderful piece of engineering, but even at best it's not a replacement for what a pilot would normally be doing to safely navigate. It's strictly there as a last-resort measure if the pilot is incapacitated.
I have too on my TAZ, but they either require a bunch of sanding to get the fit right or they are far too loose. I wonder if the tolerances on the resin printers are accurate enough.
Anyone who advocates for making the constitution more amendable should find a group to sit down and play a game of Nomic[1] until completion. It is the fastest way to internalize the meta-strategy around making it easier or more difficult to make amendments. Is there a disconnect between the current political ruleset[constitution] and the way the political game is played? Yes, but probably not for the reasons you think.

A bit tangential but I just got a Tesla Model 3 and paid $6,000 extra for “enhanced autopilot” buying into all the marketing about it, and its one of the biggest regrets of my life and makes me unable to appreciate an otherwise great car. I just feel sick about it. The enhanced autopilot is buggy and doesn’t save me any effort. The summon and auto park don’t really work. I think it’s a scam. Other than that it’s a great car.
So, this is making a TCP Connection serializable in an ad hoc fashion.

> It is natural to want those connections to follow the container to its new host, preferably without the remote end even noticing that something has changed, but the Linux networking stack was not written with this kind of move in mind.

Yes, it was written in the C language.
> including, but not limited to, internal administrative costs incurred by PayPal to monitor and track violations, damage to PayPal’s brand and reputation, and penalties imposed upon PayPal by its business partners resulting from a user’s violation - considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to PayPal that reasonably could be anticipated because, due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control.

This is such a board statement than they an decide whatever they want and pull that fine.

And if we look for the Acceptable Use Policy, there is a line:

> Famously the original presidential election rules don't really work in the face of partisanship and President-VP tickets and they quickly were replaced.

Arguably, the main problem with the original rules was bullet voting in the electoral college; if they voted with preference ballots with winner elimination, instead of bullet ballots, having the second place be the VP would work well, and produce less incumbent protection even with an equally strong party system than the actual replacement system of separate election, which produced President-VP tickets.
Sadly, I think this would be child's play with SysV init.

Sand is not normally made of glass, but there are obsidian beaches in, for example, Hawai‘i that are.
It might get the police to the location of the AirTag an hour too late but I don't see it doing much else.

Then again false hope sells. Might be a good business plan but end up lacking in practicality.

2021 was first full year of Quest 2 sales (released Sept. 2020). No new headset in 2021, so that's probably why revenue slipped.
After seeing the video of the fellow in the base jumping incident last week, this feels extra poignant. Glad this guy survived to talk about it.

These were children - 9 and 10 years old. It is doubtful that any of them were playing competitively or drinking to excess.

Even in older folks, 3 hours a day isn't really playing competitively nor does it mean you aren't drinking. We used to spend many hours getting drunk and high and playing games. It was great fun, and still is from time to time.
"Have you turned it off and on again?"
I wouldn't imagine they even have the capacity to do so.

An ecomm company in the UK went bust today, Made.com. They had a decent business, they sold furniture online, but their main issue was cost. All obvious, they had hundreds of people working in single divisions, it made no sense at all.

But they never attempted to cut cost until it was too late. I have seen this before, and it isn't "forgetting"...it is a physical capacity. You hired the 32-year old guy, he has only ever hired people, and you tell him he needs to fire 10% next week...he will start ducking you, what do you do? You can't fire him now, you need him to fire everyone else...most companies can't turn it around in time (Made was also run by people like the 32-year old, "entrepreneurs", everything will turn around soon).
I don't think people who are asking for an accurate description of Rust are holding it to a higher standard than other languages.

Rust's current reference docs, more than seven years after Rust 1.0 was released, are much weaker than the first version of the Java specification (which was published seven _months_ after JDK 1.0).

The place where it seems to me that there's a strange inconsistency is inside the Rust community: when discussing package management or compiler error messages or tutorial documentation or pretty much anything else I can think of, the there seems to be general agreement that Rust should aim to be best in class.

But when it comes to complete-and-correct documentation, I hear voices saying "are we sure we need this?", and "we're no worse than C was in 1985", and "we shouldn't let writing documentation slow down releasing new features".
There was a Cray installation in Japan in the late 80s or early 90s which was reportedly turned off at night to save electric costs.
download takes forever to complete. It's faster compiling it from source.
The "pure utilitarian" viewpoint never made much sense to me because it seems to usually imply accounting for only first order effects, when calculating some costs and gains, and stopping there. I think the secondary effects of not saving people might go far beyond some saved fuel and time in such situations (especially in war, as some have mentioned here).

In other words, optimizing some aspects of a very complex and well functioning system, such as society, locally is likely to mess things up globally.
It’s not just direct NIH funding but all the other funding the us govt does in the orgs that produce research.
I wonder what CPU and motherboard it's using. Probably a 2012 or 2013 era Xeon, but would be cool to get a definitive answer on exactly which internal components were selected.
Sure.

But to put things in perspective, the entire R&D budget for the first iPhone was $250M, and I don't think it was highly optimized for cost.

10B is 40x higher. And this is an average year, for an unfinished product that did not even start from scratch (they started with the Occulus Rift, a pretty advanced prototype)
What does that have to do with anything else you brought up?

My point is: the guy has no management experience, and is unable to lead his team. That is why he is running a bloated mess that will get everyone fired.
That is because the publisher Square Enix forced the developer Eidos Montreal to split Mankind Divided into two games, and then they canceled the second game. Thankfully the IP and developer has been bought by a holding group that actually knows about gaming, Embracer Group.

I don't even know what you're arguing anymore.

The OP made a factual mistake. I corrected it, with documented evidence.

Whether Schiller is fully engaged now or not isn't even the main question. The main question about the OP's comment is, where in the world did "Eddy Cue" come from?

I wanted very much to keep my telephony within twilio and maximize the mini-telco that I built for myself there ... however almost zero 2FA requirements can be fulfilled with "voip" numbers that are not honest-to-god mobile tagged phone numbers.

That's the whole point of the 2FA Mule, etc.
Perhaps. But this stuff does raise the minimum amount it takes to build, which in turn makes developers less likely to invest in building affordable housing.

I don't know that society can handle a government large enough to ensure that large numbers of uneducated and angry young people do not exist, if the majority of parents do not care to educate their children. Put another way, I'm advocating for policy that incentivizes parents to be good parents, instead of one that raises children in their stead if they fail to be good parents.

There is a big difference between “learning” and “preparing for a specific test.”

> When one side wants things to change and the other side wants things to "stay the same"

You've misdescribed the sides. Most of the time in the US, one side wants to impose something on everyone and the other side doesn't want to be imposed on. Maybe the root of the problem is the idea that the only way to have "change" is to impose your views on everyone.
First Two Nasams Air Defense Systems Are in Ukraine: Raytheon CEO
This is real. You bring up an interesting point about sentience, but I think there's an easy answer to your question.

It's true that it will become increasingly difficult for people to discern if these AIs are sentient, especially if the AI is inclined to say that it is, and say it has feeling, etc.

Knowing what I know about how these learn, I know that is not what sentience is, and there isn't any real "feeling" there, no matter how convincing it is if it said there are feelings. The problem is, other people won't know this, and they will begin to think they are sentient. This will undoubtedly become an issue at one point.

Your thought about humans being sentient, as in, when my friend says she is sentient, how do I know that is even true? Well, that's easy. Your friend is human, and you are human, and you know that you are sentient, so you can also know your friend is. You have to be able to know you yourself are, because you know you can feel, and think, and wonder and understand, you know this first hand.
Market prices are a reflection of the economy, they are not themselves the economy. Trying to use the reflection to predict the reflection is self referential- even though lots of people do it, which is why the market often behaves like it's huffing paint. I think it's better to base assessments on base reality.

Example: the share price of K-Mart was 134 dollars in 2007. Now it's 15 cents. And people were buying the dip all the way down. Think it will come back?

After all, no company lasts forever. Eventually they all go to zero and are replaced by some other company. That's why buying the dip just because it's a dip is a fool's game.
I wanna know how they're getting so many cars donated that it's worth devoting so damn much airtime to begging me to give them my car. I guess it must be working but I can't wrap my mind around how.
Also would like to add that once you go this route(being a value company) rightly or wrongly you just died a little(many perceive this) and recruiting and talent retention becomes alot harder as who wants to work for the tech equivalent of a proctor and gamble or coca cola. Apple did do the dividend a few years back, so maybe a slow pivot could work. But a growth company can only grow so far as all the people who want to use FB's services have used them so its a natural progression for any company like FB.

The main issues are cloudy days, and angle of the sun. Do you still want to fully charge that battery on cloudy days? If not, then you need to size the battery based on how many cloudy days in a row you can tolerate before needing to cut back on energy use.

The angle of the sun affects the number of hours of sunlight in the day, as well as the angle of incidence to the panel (and you can adjust the panel angle). The default is to angle your panels equal to your latitude. If you angle them more horizontal, you will have more summer generation. If you angle them more vertical, you will have more winter generation. Which is your design constraint - heating or air conditioning loads? You can also use adjustable mounts that can be changed over the year. When I ran this for myself, adjusting the panels a few times a year would only net me a negligible amount of additional generation.

There's so much we take for granted with the grid abstraction. Net metering was a huge subsidy to drive adoption of solar, but ultimately if you want a truly independent setup you need to think like an off gridder. The hard truth is that you're probably better off designing for the 95% or whatever common case, and falling back to a gas generator for the few times conditions are worse.
I am pretty sure that many employees and contractors are getting rich in the process. Good for them, I guess.
Cool cool cool ... though these kinds of browser proof-of-concepts have been around for a decade (more than a decade if you include Flash+alchemy running Quake).

Very sorry to hear that, end of life is hard for many. Thank you for your post and the discussion it brought.
No more addicting than TV or movies. More engaging, on the other hand…
Embedded SASS promises to be faster anyway, though still slow IMO..

There are some issues with realizing the potential though. Namely, a standard-ish CRA React app will have thousands of SCSS compilation entrypoints due to importing SCSS in individual component modules.

Lack of process reuse is causing many to see slightly SLOWER compile times. Next you have:

* Lack of tooling support: Vite?

* Need to migrate SCSS syntax

* ??

As soon as it's a free-ish upgrade with high ROI on swapping it in, I'll take it! I think SCSS is a dead-end though. Modern CSS + postcss for some CSS-Next polyfills is the way forward IMO.
And when you look at tertiary education, the amounts we spend are shocking.

Education in the U.S., like healthcare, and even defense, is an example of spending way too much money for the quality of the outcome. For a variety of reasons, we have little public capacity to efficiently provide government services compared to what the rest of the world does. This is even true for things like public works spending.

Anyone that tells you we are "not spending enough" has either no idea how much less the rest of the world spends, or they are just lying to you (usually it's the former).
the specs are in the thread (well, not the exact motherboard, but pretty much everything else)
I cannot tell if you are arguing in good faith or if this is some very clever wit.

Comparing vPro to Stalin, Mao, the Holocaust and more is really not serving to forward your argument... particularly while you have an iPhone or Android device in your pocket, watch curated TV content on your Smart TV, and drive your modern car into the office where you use your Windows or OSX computer and ISP provided DNS.

This would definitely count in the "performative theatrics" category of any normal book. Why is this age so sensationalized? Words are becoming meaningless due to overuse, abuse and re-definition to fit convenient arguments...
They're throwing loads of technical resources at that - so they should be able to build it - but the problem is the "and they will come part". VR Gaming is awesome, BeatSaber is a wonderful game to engage in... for about an hour or so max - you'll want to shift gears and get your head out of the headset just to relax your eyes.

Zuckerberg seems to envision matrix-style VR where it's 24/7 immersive and nobody outside a very small fringe group is at all interested in that proposition. I just fail to see the value proposition of VR socialization over video and even voice calls. If you'll recall even video calls have only really caught on since the pandemic - skype did business pre-pandemic, but it was still a fringe tool for social purposes and much more likely to see use in a work setting. It might be that VR can break into the workplace - but I have my skepticism.

Admittedly I haven't done a close read, but on first skimming I didn't see anything that limits this to commercial transactions between arms-length buyers and sellers. Where are you getting that from?

To my view, there's a world of difference between "You can't use PayPal as a payment processor for gun sales" and "You can't use PayPal to pay pals back for covering your range fees last Saturday."

Yet the AUP seems broad enough to cover both: "You may not use the PayPal service for activities that... relate to transactions involving... ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories...." https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/acceptableuse-full

Their expenses are up significantly, there is no cutting back up to this point. A few FAANGs gave lip service to being more frugal, but their earnings releases and operating costs show they were anything but.

Part of the reason Meta is crashing is because they are being even more aggressive/spending more on metaverse next year than they previously stated.
