Interesting question. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHR/comments/h9vavc/doesnt_griggs...
Is there any evidence F.lux and similar actually do anything other than make pretty lights? I mean, that's fine enough if that's what you want but I often hear health or sleep claims made. Are those substantiated in any way?

Lotta crypto brokers look down on VPNs for obvious reasons.

But they seemed to have gotten their wallets mixed up and that gave away their identity on of one of the early 10k Bitcoin wallets.
It's not free, to the tune of $10/month! I'm willing to pay for things, but I'm sorry, that's just not workable. I'm not going to pay for yet another subscription service, especially one for my speakers.

I was really hopeful for a competitor to Sonos too. Ah well, back to hoping Google ever brings back Chromecast audio.
It's not even really about our OS's and what not. I don't understand that people still aren't fucking pissed that you can type in someone's full name in Google and shit sites still broadcast phone numbers, addresses, age, history. It's a trainwreck that's already been there for 20 years people.
Because that mature stack is burning a lot of cycles converting binary data into text and back.
Can confirm. Did a double withdrawal (of about 10$ at the time) on an exchange years ago by blocking a POST request and firing two at the same time.

I alerted the exchange operator and he let me keep the 10$.
This is fantastic. This is almost identical to what I've been having to remember in the back of my head every time I go create a new project haha. I've also settled on the anyhow + thiserror deal. Rust is not batteries included -- it's nice for those experienced or beginners to know which batteries to use without going on some expedition to find them.

Ah, fair. I'll edit-correct.
In your proposed world, shouldn't we simply get rid of patents entirely?

The person who made the flash freezer, for example, was just one person. If he couldn't protect his patent, despite definitively changing the face of global food preparation, why should IBM have any intellectual property?

OK, fine. The person who buys these Bitcoins at auction could cause BTC to crash on all the exchanges.
Mastodon is federated, so users of their instance are able to interact with the wider set of Mastodon instances, much like people with @google.com emails can interact with people with @microsoft.com emails, despite both instances being separately controlled and not open to people outside their respective companies. Not having an account on an instance, in other words, is not the same as it not being accessible.
When are you looking to start work or interning ? It could be the timing, the market but could also be the companies you're applying to. A different approach will help. Have you worked with an early career coach ? I'd say join some groups on LinkedIn or outside for early career / new graduates and I'm sure you'll find get some support. Happy to help.
I think this is a world wide trend as well. Humanity is progressing with every generation. (this is true even in Africa).

Some countries progressing faster though, (China being one of them).
> Literally nothing meaningful has changed about Twitter in the last few months.

Twitter now has a burden of $1 billion in interest payments per year, which it did not several months ago. That's pretty meaningful. Completely apart from anything about Elon, it would be entirely reasonable to expect this additional burden to make the product worse, as debt obligations often do.
Oh man, it took me so long to figure out how you got there. This is dead-on-arrival for nontechnical users.
I mean, humans take an extraordinary long amount of time to develop (18-25 years to reach maturity). Even if you could selectively breed only high IQ individuals it would take you probably a few dozen to a few hundred generations to reach some order of magnitude of higher intelligence.

And even then, along the way you might accidentally breed out some other important gene. Humans are also not machines, and require a great deal of emotional care to develop into functioning, centered adults.

There is probably a trade-off between generation time and brain size. Human babies already require substantially long care even by mammalian standards, because the brain cannot develop fully in the womb. We also take an extraordinary amount of time just to be able to walk on our own. Most animals are born with the ability to stand and move around.

Perhaps genetic engineering technologies such as Crispr will make it practical in the not too distant future.
I feel you, this is some particularly rough Rust code, combining quite a lot of stuff that I don't think I directly interacted with for my first few years.

You have `for<'a>`, which I believe is probably the most complicated part of the language. That's a Higher Ranked Trait Bound, https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/hrtb.html

It just means "for all possible lifetimes 'a" as opposed to a single specific instance of a lifetime. Honestly, my brain kinda knows when to use it and I've never bothered to push past that point and into "and I understand why it knows when to use it".

You have nested types, which always makes things a bit messy, but then you have the "I have a type, it implements a trait, and I want to refer to the associated type for that trait's implementation for that type".

ie:
<MyType as ATraitItImpls>::Associated

Oof. But once you know what it is it's quite clear and explicit. You wouldn't want to do `MyType::Associated` because what if MyType implements multiple traits that have associated values named Associated? Rust prefers explicit.

I actually use this all the time now because it makes refactoring so easy to only refer to types through generic paths. If I change "Associated" I don't have to update anything at all.

When you nest these it gets extra messy, but it's just the same thing. Mapper's second generic parameter is just the associated type of some other thingy. I wonder if some type Aliasing would help, idk.

Then there's `'_`, which I've never bothered to use because I learned rust before it was a thing and so I just don't really care. The irony is that `'_` exists to make things clearer - it's just an annotation that says "there's a lifetime here that we don't actually have to write down, but I'm writing it so that you know what it is and that it's not some other lifetime".

https://dev-doc.rust-lang.org/beta/edition-guide/rust-2018/o...

So yeah, I get it. Rust is very explicit, and when you have a lot of nested stuff like this that explicitness can look a bit overwhelming. But I'll say that, knowing all of this, I can look at that code and trivially parse it because there's no ambiguity whatsoever.
This reads suspiciously similar to the Rust Platform proposal in 2016 [0] and was concensus-rejected by the community [1].

Show HN: Generate commit messages using AI
Hey everyone! I've just launched my latest project SplitJoin today.

TLDR: SplitJoin helps you generate commit messages from source code using AI.

Writing commit messages isn't the hardest problem to solve but I tend to write less informative messages over time (see xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1296). Using an assistant helps me stay disciplined and be a better communicator. My goal for the project is to complement copilot/etc on non-coding related tasks.

I'd love to hear what people think about it and please share any feedback you have.

“open source communities” are mostly good for topic oriented communities. otherwise, i believe commercial motivations are great for maximizing participation.

in the end communities with maximum participation will always be where creators are incentivized to be.

yes. of course i have. maybe we're talking past each other, i dont know, but...

what im trying to say, again, is that their panicking is entirely unfounded.

whether you create your account at mastodon.social, fosstodon.org, mastodon.online, vis.social, toot.cat, or your friends totallyraddomainname.com--its not a life or death decision.

particularly because you can simply migrate to another server if you're picky about some minutia that most people don't care about. it feels like overblown fearmongering.

sure, maybe they're experience analysis paralysis, which is definitely a problem sometimes for those who are terrified of technology, but at the end of the day it is over analyzing. one of the reasons mastodon so drastically overtook other federated attempts is because it made it possible to migrate without losing your followers, you just move and poof, you're done. it removes the importance to which server you choose.
>Before Musk's takeover Twitter was reliable, predictable and somewhat boring.

In what ways? And in what ways do you think federated servers that don't agree on what rules to apply and lack any sort of mechanism for global, centralized control will make Mastodon reliable, predictable or even somewhat boring?!?
Virality is a big part of social media. The fact that a lot of people wanting to see something I made punishes me with hundreds of dollars worth of overage fees means that it's just bad to use it. You are punished for "succeeding".

I guess I never thought about how none of the best apps (imho) in any category I use on iOS are made by Apple. I agree with the premise of the article, but I can work around this phase of Apple's heel turn.
I think India is already quite socialist to begin with so anti-capitalism isn't a very strong sentiment there. There's also a lot less centralization and fewer monopolies.

Both decisions to use parentheses for both arrays and argument lists and omitting parentheses for call with arguments come from Ada's design goals of supporting programming at large. While this is contrary to some other languages that focus on specifics of implementation, the decision isolated design intent from implementation details.

The original "Rationale for the Ada programming language" book provides a lengthier discussion on these points.

TLDR; The syntax is an intentional language design choice which puts capture of design intent in the forefront over implementation details.

The author explains a bit of how things work, but no one ever said you need to read the full spec to use it. Just like it's better to know your car has an engine, but you don't need to know the details of how the engine works to drive your car. Sharing knowledge, and the reader can decide what level of detail they want to keep.
> what makes software unique in that it would be effectively excluded

I can answer this:

1) Because software is already covered by copyright.

2) Because any given idea or concept in software can be implemented an infinite number of novel ways. Patents only cover specific implementations of an idea... Not the idea itself.

Let's use Amazon's One Click patent as an example: How many different ways do you think that could be coded/handled? How many different programming languages could be used to make it work?

If the One Click patent was actually specific enough to not be a broad concept (as required by patent law) it would include the actual code that makes it work. That's the software equivalent to an engineer's blueprint. However, if you look at the patent claims (https://patents.google.com/patent/US5960411A/en) you can see that every single claim is just generic nonsense (e.g. "The method of claim 11 wherein the client system and server system communicate via the Internet.").

Even if you add all the claims together and examine the patent as a whole you still get nothing but a broad concept on the idea of clicking once to place an order. Repeat after me: PATENTS ONLY COVER SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATIONS OF IDEAS, not the ideas themselves. Which is exactly what every single software patent that exists defines: Nothing more than a broad concept.

You could require that patents provide the actual code that makes them work but then they'd be worthless because any given bit of code can be implemented an infinite number of ways. It would be trivial to change a for loop to a while loop or wrap things in functions or even something as simple as using a different programming language. Any of those things and more would get around a patent on a specific implementation of software, aka "code".

"Life-changing decision?" My friend, you are signing up for an internet microblogging system, not getting married. I guess you're talking about what instance to create an account on, right? Well, you can create accounts on different instances if you want, and if you decide you don't like the instance your "main account" is on, you can migrate to a different one and all of your followers will still automatically follow you on the new one.

Not even sure what you're talking about with the "multifaceted" bit. There's nothing stopping you from following people posting about all of those topics at once, just like you can on Twitter. Go right ahead. If you're thinking you're limited to just following people on the same single-topic instance as you, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the network works.

As for "they need to fix this, and fast," presuming you actually do understand how federation works, then how do you propose it gets fixed without recentralizing everything?

Reducing costs might help, but how would you go about reducing the costs?

As GP points out, the most of the cost isn't government fees. It's paying your own private lawyer or law firm, for their time and advice, assuming you choose to do that. And to the other party's lawyer if you lose in litigation, perhaps.

Your lawyer is a private arrangement which mostly doesn't involve the government. The government fees are already low.

Given that, how does your proposal differ from "patent lawyers should charge much less for their time, to people with less money"? It's hard to imagine them voluntarily reducing their income by a large factor to a large number of people, or agreeing to take on lots of low paid work when they have better offers.

But there are other models, e.g. no win no fee works in some fields.
