> It’s a particularly nasty flu.

No doubt, but for the majority it is recoverable.

> You’re well advised to train your immune system before encountering the first time with vaccination.

I believe that it's effectiveness is greatly reduced now. The available vaccine was for the alpha variant. From what I remember reading, it essentially no longer reduces the probability of you getting COVID at all, meaning your immune system is essentially unprepared (and hence can't defend against it).

> It also makes sense to reduce the dangers of infection (not just of Covid), [..]

Somewhat, but then you never end up building natural immunity to anything. You have those isolated tribes that would likely get killed off by the common cold if it was ever introduced to them.

> How restricting you find measures and how much you want to prevent getting infected is a very personal thing.

It is a personal thing, but it was also an idea inflicted on people. This was not generally well practised before, nor does it particularly have any benefit done in small (read one) isolated pockets. I believe we have all now seen people who are many-times vaccinated, wear multiples masks, avoid any contact with people, and yet are otherwise perfectly healthy.

> Hand hygiene and air hygiene for new buildings should be a no-brainer though.

Even prior to COVID, I wish more consideration was put in place for air quality. Bin the ionizers and get decent filters in place that reduce carbon dioxide filters.
I'm not asking for it as such, but the claim that Lisps now produce "executables" is sometimes still not quite what people have in mind. It's still a whole bundled Lisp runtime, not unlike using PyInstaller to bundle an entire Python runtime in an executable.
Based off the balance sheet FTX may have peaked (September 2021) with more than $100 billion of paper gains in "less liquid" assets.

Token Last wks Last wks Estimated Peak Peak Peak
value price holding price date value
FTT $5.9bn $24.00 246m $77.69 09-Sep-2021 $19bn
SRM $5.4bn $0.75 7,240m $12.50 13-Sep-2021 $90bn
SOL $2.2bn $32.00 70m $258.78 07-Nov-2021 $18bn

Just speculation, but once you've "made" $130bn you feel like a genius. You might want to start acting like a hundred billionare. Time to start throwing money around. Especially spending it on anything that helps you realise those gains.

But FTT/SOL/SRM is not very liquid. So you use your liquid assets (i.e. your customers' USD, USDT, BTC and ETH). People might wonder where you get all this cash. You don't want to admit you are using customer funds and you only have gains on tokens you printed. So pretend you're genius trader and run a highly profitable exchange.

Why not just separate the emitters and receivers a bit more, then?

Wouldn't it work to put some cheap drones or other hardware that "light up" and send nice pulses out for you to get info from that are far enough away from your real position, or am I missing something?

If they're cheap enough, it wouldn't be very worthwhile to destroy them I'd think. I mean it'd probably be in your interest to let them waste million dollar missiles on hundred dollar drones if you could get them to do so.

Or does something like this exist that I'm just unaware of?

I’m surprised by this experience because I think most user studies seem to find that speed improvements can have a big impact on important metrics for apps/websites used by many people. Presumably your users don’t have much choice in what software they get. Another argument for speed is that developers tend to have high-end hardware so things that are bearable for them may be significantly slower for users. This matters more for phones (wide range of performance) and things that depend on network speeds.

This in my ears echoes the understanding that humans aren't fully rational creatures, we just convince ourselves we are most of the time. So it would follow that we wouldn't be able to write secure (i.e. rational in its own context) code consistently.

For sure. And presumably those projects are ones in which maintaining a fork is practical. I have both forked and suggested forking.

However for many projects ‘just fork it’ is not a good faith suggestion, so it can’t be a blanket answer that applies to all FOSS.
> Maybe the Internet, yes. But international business? I don’t think so. Maybe from a perspective of native English-speaking person it appears to him like that. But it’s not the case in any non-English speaking country.

When a Swedish company does business with a Portuguese company, they speak English. Other languages are used for domestic business. International business is done in English. There are exceptions to the rule like the Francophonie, but let's not be pedantic. You may learn some phrases of the other party's language as a gesture of goodwill and politeness (and honestly it's kinda fun use of company time), but the actual important talks take place in English.
It's rare that I post unpopular opinions, but when I see an HN thread full of people talking about how terrible the tools are which helped me be successful, I just can't help but speak up. It's an important topic for me because I originally believed the consensus. Like all of you, I read the countless Internet comments which say things like GNU AS is meant only as a backend for GCC, that you must never write assembly, and if you do then AT&T syntax is the devil. As a result, I wasted half a year of my life trying to build APE using programs like nasm and fasm. It wasn't until I decided to use only GNU tools that I began making progress.
Yes, in business money doesn't usually change hands without acknowledgement from both parties involved. There is no "convenience" in providing only half of a contractual exchange.

I'll second that - it seems that a new hype train is to just bash C, mostly by people who aren't familiar with it.
> That’s not a controversial statement as people tend to rationalize their own behavior to justify themselves in all manners of behavior.

When someone advocates for a given ethical standard that permits their activities, how would you tell the difference between:

* post-hoc rationalized personal behavior

and

* real conviction in principles guiding their behavior

Personally, I start with whether they recognize any obligations/responsibilities, and my experience is that people do this across a spectrum of social outlooks. They construct the obligations differently -- there is reason to believe that people actually believe different things -- but there's no outlook on this topic that I've found corresponds to self-justification more than any other.

Rationalization's twin self-deception is nevertheless usually a worthwhile topic. But there's some good reason to suspect monogamists are not exactly in a superior position.
> Wouldn't it be better to welcome and accommodate educated and enthusiastic foreigners who want to invest in your country and its people, rather than being a language purist for the sake of it?

The same could be said about anglophone countries concerning people who don't speak English.
I don't think a clean script is much to ask for. Sometimes a programming language is not particularly appropriate. There's some middle ground where it's complex, but re-writing it in a programming language is a super pain.

My girlfriend watches Kardashians and I don't think she believes in falsehoods about the Kardashians. Nor do most people besides maybe the young teenage audience. This is a big misconception in society.

The whole idea of celebrities/reality shows/TV news/etc is that the audience thinks they are dumb and feels superior to them (see most Twitter outrage cycles like the current big one)... but when challenged they don't care since it's a "guilty pleasure".

They know it's vapid and dumb. People seek escape and fun.

Saying people watch them merely because they are being fooled is a bad take and often used in politics. It's basically dressed up satire that feeds into base desires. It's also an opportunity to hear things said that are socially taboo otherwise if the person is to be taken seriously.

The fact some segment buys into it (they would be buying into something equally dumb otherwise) doesn't mean the bulk of the audience does.
Disappointed to see Wim Hof method not mentioned in "Other techniques".

Keep in mind that (although irrelevant at beginner level), if you’re writing any degree of Unsafe Rust, you need to ensure all your unsafe functions are exception safe, so they aren’t just a trivial concept.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/exception-safety.html

Also, there is something similar to try/catch in Rust to catch exceptions, although the docs emphasize that you shouldn’t use for typical error handling. It’s mainly for when Rust is called from the outside (typically a C program). This is because you don’t want a Rust exception to unwind to external code, or all kinds of weird undefined behavior will happen.

Do you think Mastodon has the chance to remain as a safe place on the Internet?
Rust is a systems language, like C++. I don't think your comparison is fair. Also I've done a lot of C++ programming over the years, and I won't willingly go back to that. It is a horror in my opinion.
This number is based on existing mines (active and inactive) only. There's a lot more fissile material available than just the 40 Gg of usable fissile material. And that's assuming we only use U-235 and Pu-239. We also have viable LWR designs for Th-232 and are in the process of creating the first 5 Th-232 SMR test reactors at grid-scale right now.
Presumably "organic" is here used in its figurative meaning of "[chaotic] result of a natural process", rather than "carbon-based compound".

Those aren't just "vows", its a legal contract, you HAVE to understand what you're signing for your own good and it is the same reason the notary had to read 3 times the same thing in the article.

> the local city hall in my wife's hometown who, for who knows why, hold some authority

Because as I already said, marriage is a civil and legal act. It is not carried by the central nor state (as in us) government but the city one, and the responsibility falls on the mayor or its representative (which likely married you). Of course the city hall is going to need plenty of documents, especially in the case of a foreigner (and alien).

I'm baffled by how much entitlement Americans have in Europe. Bashing on our beaurocracy while not even bothering to understand what you are doing nor why.

It's because Alameda played the wrong bet: they liked the degen yield farming, got caught with a big hole once the musical chairs stopped (400M loan to Voyager, for instance), printed fake assets to reshore their finances, got caught by CZ who said fuck it, burn, I sell everything you ever gave me, and now whatever USDT they had is slowly being redeemed, but I dont know how much deltec can process.

> If he takes people's donation money with the implicit or explicit promise that he's going to make a good-faith effort to continue working on the code

In the absence of clear language I think it's unreasonable to expect a small amount of money to create an infinite obligation.

I'd expect a donation to be spent on development expenses, including time. I'd expect the developer to continue developing until the money runs out, or return the remaining money.

Imagine you have GitHub sponsorships providing $2,000/month. You use that money to cover all your expenses and work on OSS full time. Everyone stops donating today. Surely you'd get a job and stop working on OSS full time?

Starting a company in Germany is much easier if you don't need limited liability (which GmbH and UG (haftungsbeschränkt) do offer).
Same here. Nowadays, I check out CLI applications before committing to a GUI version. All those seconds I shave off by not waiting for things to load for too long, hardly having to leave the keyboard have a lot of advantage. It just takes more time to get used to initially.
That's not at all what they said. The point is France have a bunch of reactors approaching the same level of wear, and by building a few more and staggering the maintenance,they'd spread the maintenance out and avoid this problem for the future.

It does not replace my laptop, however. There's many things that are technically possible, but they're just a pain to do. In addition, many websites that I normally use with ease on my laptop do not work [properly] on my iPad.

So the previous computers in this class (for the 88k chips) they released a version of System V; the PowerStack also had a Unix, which was a (modified) AIX. The PowerStack II supported Windows NT (I remember using one in the 90s) and had official Motorola discs for this purpose. I’m not sure if the PPC NT was (officially) supported on the PowerStack; I’m not sure it’d be extremely performant on the non-e 603s. OS/2 would have been supported given IBM was the other chip producing partner in the AIM PPC alliance.

Today one’s best bet is a stable PPC Linux release or NetBSD.
Yes, it's not a fair comparison. More like a wake-up call. Rust can get pretty complex. Especially if you're using async and then you need pin.

Like c++, languages that strive for zero cost abstraction seem to put a large cost burden on the developer in understanding it.

> Maybe the space is just more fragmented?

Android is pretty darn fragmented though.

I expect that aftermarket firmware would be an issue for content providers. For example, is Netflix going to allow third party firmware developers to create an app to access their content? They will already have contracts with content distributors like Lionsgate that mandate DRM in their own apps to prevent piracy.

If your aftermarket firmware doesn't support Netflix, Prime, HBO, etc then it might have limited appeal. Browser based apps might get around that in a limited way.

As for printers, I think of them as loss leaders to generate ink sales.

Don't know either space particularly well so might be wrong.
