I would however make the argument that if you do have a native extension but you have no binary wheel, it's better for that code to be written in Rust than C. Usually for a rust binary extension to build you just need a recent rust compiler on your machine whereas making C/C++ things to work can be a nightmare from you needing to have the right version of cmake, Cons, header files, dependency libraries and more to be installed. I have a text file with common CFLAGS and LDFLAGS I need to set to install various database drivers and more.
> Jim Baker is a double agent for the FBI.

Geopolitical hat on.

Elon Musk is getting close to the Saudis (Twitter), China (Gigafactory Shanghai), and Russians (necessary industrial inputs). In the past few months he's casually suggested a handover of Ukraine and Taiwan. Now he's turning on the Democrats and the FBI, or at least certain members of those organizations.

My mind wonders if the DoD will sour on his role at SpaceX. We've recently seen lawmakers impact the valuation of Tesla vis a vis tax incentives. Are Musk's foreign ties and obligations a risk to a defense company that services classified national interests?

Perhaps he or the company he keeps have enough friends within the DoD chain of command that there won't be any issues. Or maybe none of this matters. But I am half expecting to see sparks fly.

(I'm 100% reading between the lines here, and I don't have any evidence for any of my suspicions. Feel free to dismiss outright, though I would appreciate additional commentary if anyone has anything interesting to add.)
Yeah I did think about taking him to an animal rescue centre, in the end he seemed like he didn't want me around any more so I just left him to it, hard to tell I guess
What you quoted was me explaining why I won't spend and hour on a novel-length response.

If you're going to try and bring me to task, atleast be accurate.
For me it meant: these routine performative discomforts make me more likely to "take the slow route" when it really matters.
I don’t understand why people moved away from this. It doesn’t even have to be mobx’d ideally, an informal emitter protocol would be fine, just as “rerender all reconcile the changes” mode for pages with 10k divs or less. People use a concept-heavy application framework and pretend it’s “just a thin ui library” because kilobytes. Absurdity.
It primarily helps making dynamically loadable Rust libraries that Rust can load. Everything else is downstream from there. So for instance if you have a web server written in Rust and you want to dynamically load a plugin also written in Rust.
How does compiling it yourself change anything?
Maybe you can refresh my memory? The ark in raiders was a macguffin. The only overtly religious character I remember was the imam. If you mean temple of doom with the Kali cult, that's closer except for one important detail. Other movies are careful to mentally distance depictions by having cults be underground or otherwise abnormal and isolated. Think midsommar, wicker man, etc.

The narrative of apocalypto is literally the mainstream Maya priests kidnapping and torturing people to sacrifice them before the protagonist is saved by the distraction of Spaniards arriving. I would consider the same thing with Christianity swapped a bit distasteful as well, but I can't think of any movies like that. Handmaid's tale would count, but that's a deliberate critique rather than unintentional stereotyping.
Only way to find out! Does openstreetmap has wifi mapped, is there correlation?
I think this is a little fanciful, the song is entirely about Alaska which was sold to the US 71 years after Catherine died. The more reasonable explanation is that the line in the song is just wrong for poetic license or other reasons.

I built an example that uses separate select tags for year, month, day, and time.

The benefits of doing this are:

- Standard elements that work everywhere

- Easy to refresh the available options after a date change

- Mimics the "rolodex" behaviour to quickly find any date/time

The libs I used are arbitrary, won't be hard to rewrite using only built-in Javascript, or any library / framework

> If the connection fails for any reason, the script will stop, potentially breaking or corrupting things.

If the script is meant to be piped from curl, and is well written, it will be written so that it first defines everything as functions and then at the very end makes a single function call. This ensures that the script will only do anything if it has been completely downloaded.

For example, the script that rustup.rs tells you to pipe from curl is written in that way.

I'm rewriting it to be 100% Lua at the moment. It's 80% done and I've just pushed it for you. Take a look at the init.lua and ignore init.vim which is going away and is in a messy transitional state. The only thing that's missing in the Lua config is LSP integration, but that should be done by tomorrow as well.

Edit: Just remembered that the Lua version also has no plugin manager, but there's plugin-install.fish script that just clones plugins into the correct folder, which works for now. I'll probably add lazy.nvim plugin manager in the upcoming weeks as well ;)
You can’t just bring stuff before the German constitutional court in most cases. The court is no ordinary court, it does not judge on cases. It judges on whether a decision of an ordinary court or a law violated your constitutional rights. So you’d have to bring this to a normal court first, go through the appellate process and then, maybe, the constitutional court will accept your case.
Now, that is interesting direction to take. For the time being, there is Github and PRs.
Thanks that's nice to know, I like to think he did make it :) He was lying sprawled out on the road and he seemed to fold in his wings ok after I picked him up, so I guessed they weren't broken
You can fix that by wrapping the entire code in a function and calling it at the end.
So in order to get a chance to be heard either you need a backdoor to a Google employee, or you need to be on a business account.

Therefore, unless you fall into one of these categories, you probably shouldn't use Google products - or, even worse, rely on it for sensitive things such as your emails, your photos or your work documents.
I can't wait for a few years, when ChatGPT is replaced by something 10^x more powerful, and then comments like this look like nonsense of someone who lived in a past era just like we now similarly make fun of comments from people that made in past eras about how certain technologies, criticized in their current state without the ability of the person to look ahead. Even though the person you're replying to mentioned ChatGPT, ChatGPT is just the FIRST of many. Imagine somebody saying in 1803 "Car is unusable because you have to keep filling the coal, it's just not convenient, and a horse will always have a future."
perhaps you could use it yourselves to have a reactive web ui of the landing page?
Rust moves much faster than C++, at least at the moment. So the practical benefit of sharing libraries created with the same compiler version would be much smaller.
They weren't though. If you look at things like the penal laws you'll see there were great efforts to limit the rights of Catholics, who made up the bulk of the native Irish population. Not to mention the plantations which were done to forcefully alter the demographics of the island, and even things like that statutes of Kilkenny which served to limit the use of the Irish language long before that.

> It's an innate part of being human.

That's the point I am making. My point is not that everyone should be in tech, my point is that there is a disparity and if we assume everyone is equal then there shouldn't be.

> Now the genders skew slightly differently, for men it's more like 97% prefer to do something else, and with women it's 99% who prefer to do something else. So what? Let people do what they want to do.

That is exactly what I want, for people do to what they want, but one group is systemically discouraged from taking on tech even if they want to. I am frankly disappointed that this has to be spelled out, that is surprising for this forum.
More use of Rust is inevitable in open source software
NumPy is insanely fast for most use cases, I've (grudgingly) come to the conclusion that if NumPy doesn't hack it then I should re-think the problem or my way of solving it rather than to try to optimize that particular bit of code if it isn't meant for something that is going to be run in production on a large number of machines. Likely there are better uses of my time. It's interesting how what is nominally a scripting language can perform so well for compute intensive tasks. Of course, technically you are just stringing together highly optimized low level functions together using the Python language but the advantages of doing it that way have more often than not surprised me.
Exactly. Some members of my family have run into this in 2022, after I recommended Google Photos as an automatic backup for their phone a few years ago. They don't get Gmail when storage is full, something I thought would never happen with Gmail.

I can understand how Christianity-based morals might lead to thinking that digital piracy is immoral.

I can't understand how that particular bible verse could be a genuine influence on deciding whether or not illegally downloading copyrighted material is acceptable, at all. Can you explain what logic led from reading that text to deciding it meant you shouldn't pirate things?

And I'm also curious, if you hadn't read that verse would Jesus' other teachings, as told in the new testament, not have left you considering digital piracy to be immoral?

I'm not sure it's related to your question of "Is there an important sense in which Sweden has more abundant resources than, say, the US?".

The answer is yes, in some cases. Because wealth is distributed so that everyone can afford things like education, healthcare, daycare. If 1 out of a 100 has a superyacht and 99 live on foodstamps that's different in an important sense from if 0 people have a superyacht and everyone gets access to education and food.

You asked for an example about, I handed you one, it seems like you accidentally missed the example in a pursuit to prove the American superiority.
If it's a simple enough binary interface, sure. Simplicity is really important.

C++ has standardized ABIs but you just don't see people dynamically loading a C++ shared object, obtaining a pointer to a C++ object and calling its member functions. They always do it through the C ABI if they do it at all. Some would rather rewrite stuff in C than put up with that. C++ ABIs are so obnoxiously complex the only things that dare to touch it are C++ compilers and even they have been known to break things. I just get this incredibly hopeless feeling whenever I try to contemplate how I'd handle a C++ exception from Python code. The only reasonable answer I can think of is I wouldn't, I'd just disable C++ exceptions instead and hope for the best.

People use C because it's just simple symbols and unchanging calling conventions. Look up symbols to get function pointers, put parameters in specific registers, call the function and off you go. Nobody will interface with Rust if the ABI is too complex. Given the language's many high level abstractions, I think it's likely we'll see a repeat of the C++ situation above.
Gods was beautiful and had a catchy soundtrack which is still stuck in my head, decades later.

In Europe, cancellations and delays mean compensation for ticket holders.

You’re doing exactly what I said, exaggerating and twisting to claim victories where there are none.

That Fauci email says that masks are primarily to prevent infected people from spreading disease, and a lot of crappy masks are unlikely to do much but prevent some droplets. This was before a lot of the studies were in that showed there was some effect. People can be wrong early on, this is expected.

Later on when the pandemic was really ripping through populations it was all a numbers game, to try to reduce spread by percentage. A lot of people seemed to miss that, and would say stupid things like ‘masks aren’t 100% effective” or “they don’t even protect you! They protect other people”, as if that was smart or meaningful.

> Remember "vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick"?

Nope, I’m not American, and it appears neither does your source, because the link that should take you to the original claim goes to some other story.

> vaccine safety

Yeah so you have nothing there either. Anything can affect women’s menstrual cycles. Aircraft travel, dietary changes, stress, all sorts. It's not really surprising and it's not necessarily serious.

> Two weeks to flatten the curve

Was too little too late and a symptom of fucked up, broken American politics.

> remember when it was faux pas to suggest COVID was "just another cold"?

It’s still a really stupid thing to say, sorry bub, excess deaths should show you just how dumb.

> dangers of remote schooling

It’s not exactly surprising that remote schooling is less effective. However saying “dangers of remote schooling” is unnecessarily hyperbolic, and this is a great example of “throwing enough shit at the wall to see if something sticks”

So like I said, you’re claiming a bunch of things that no, the powers that be have not “admitted” to being true, and the rest of the world has not, actually, come to understand, and some things that were just bleeding obvious (remote schooling is less good, we should only rely on it when there are reasons to do so. Like, I don’t know, a pandemic that’s killed about 7 million people worldwide.)
This is why I don't understand all the funding that goes into cyber security research and related technology: in so many cases, the technology is not even the weakest link.
I lived in London and took my car with me, because as it was an EV, I could get a free parking permit for it and I was exempt from the emissions tax. Honestly, the driving experience in London is terrible. When I did a few back-and-forth trips when moving between a temporary hotel and my house, it'd take 40 minutes each way to drive 3 miles through central London. It would almost have been quicker to walk, and certainly much quicker on the underground.

I ended up only using my car a handful of times the whole year, and only when I was leaving London to visit family. I lived near the A40 expressway, so going north wasn't too problematic, but going south would usually take an hour to do the first 10 miles out of London.

If I'd stayed in London, I'd definitely have got rid of the car entirely now. There's just not much use for it when public transport is good, or when things are close enough to walk (I'd usually prefer to walk most places that were within an hour's walk).

What I do see as unfair in London now is that the costs of driving are extremely punitive if you don't have an EV, and this year they massively extended the area which is chargeable. It's simply not economically viable for most people to replace a car in these cases, as they probably don't get much use anyway, but also for any non-residents, it's also extremely easy to accidentally enter a chargeable area and then you're hit with a massive charge for the day.
> Of course there are local differences

Differences by country and culture - the reason why are the interesting questions.

> these need to be normalized with a population-wide sample.

Need to be?

The US (for example) has a large population ( ~360 mill ) with a poor system of government and an excess of hold over odd little religious groups (and home grown product like Mormons, etc).

Other countries have smaller populations (eg 25 million here), better more responsive system of government with better oversight, better education, better health, etc.

I see no benefit in being blended in with a bloated mass of objectively worse and dragged down to US levels.
"Trying to convince people" implies a good faith approach - i.e. being open about what you want and why. Lying to people that masks are no good is not "convincing" them to not buy masks - it's misleading them to do so.

And yes, I think that between lying to literally everybody, and confiscating the property of some companies, the latter is much preferable from a democratic perspective. Indeed, it's just eminent domain, for which there's explicit provisions in constitution and/or laws of most (all?) democratic countries. And since it's done openly, if citizens are unhappy about it, they can always punish the politicians who did so in the next elections; but you can't do that to unelected bureaucrats and private actors, and especially not if they conceal what they're doing.
> not only hostile but incompetent

A broken feature on the mobile version nudges towards app installation, a broken feature on the desktop version does not.

This means that there is some benefit for Facebook to not fix the mobile version.

If a bug persists and benefits the company, we should - by principle - never assume it to be a bug.

We see the same right now with reddit, where old interfaces slowly (and clearly intentionally) crumble away, permanently signalling to the user that it is time to switch to one of the interfaces with a higher ad density.
Indeed, vim is a great text editor, but a mediocre IDE framework (adding Lua on top won't change this fact)

Emacs is a great IDE framework, but a mediocre editor (compared to vim keys and modes, and IMO evil only helps somewhat)

One day someone will be blessed by the Buddha himself, and will go on to create an Emacs clone running on a Lisp with native and default support for a modal editing system. The whole of humanity will enter nirvana, ending the infinite cycle of reincarnation^Hreinventing the wheel.
Also, the Weltrechtsprinzip doesn't seem to be specific to Germany. Is there something in its German flavor that is remarkable?
Japan managed to secure its national borders tightly. Once you were inside the "lockdown facility", which was effectively the entire country, you could continue living more or less as before.

Other countries had to resort to internal lockdowns, because land borders are harder to secure. Cross-border truck traffic was particularly problematic, as it involves a large number of people crossing borders and continuing inland without any quarantine. Legal issues also made the borders more porous, for example by not having sufficient testing and quarantine requirements for returning citizens. And widespread individualism made voluntary measures less effective, because people were less likely to follow the self-isolation and testing recommendations.

I'm not a Rust developer, but it seems to me that there are very real benefits to using the language. So I think the reason there are so many "I did $task in Rust!" - where $task is something usually accomplished in C, the current lingua franca of lower-level systems programming - is that people are genuinely excited to share that it really is looking possible that Rust can be used in place of C.

So it's a bit of a meme, sure, but there is a good reason for it :)
Thank you for your liking.
Trying to win back all the upset HN users
No vim emulator is "good enough" if you actually know vim, although jetbrains is probably the closest due to the configurability of it's plugin.

there are almost always quirks, but the biggest issue tends to be when bridging the gap between vim and the GUI itself, particularly around the modality of vim vs graphical autocomplete.

If you're less experienced as a vim user these emulators are probably perfectly fine, but as someone who has been using vim for something like 20+ years, they _always_ feel just off enough that I either just go back to vim or edit the way the editor originally intended.
I'm pretty sure that conversations along those lines have already taken place. This is no trifle matter and Musk may think that he can shitpost himself out of any hole he digs himself into but that may well be an illusion on his part.
ASK HN: What are some produts you want to swear at?
You're certainly on to something in so far as this is why it happened: in an environment where it's a regular occurrence that bystanders die in violent clashes between one side that exposes itself in uniform and another that disguises themselves as (and/or considers themselves) regular people, "some PII" seems to be a very low price to pay for untangling the bloody mess a little. But as evidenced here, that PII won't go away and the consequences can be just as bloody as what it helped preventing, or worse. This is not about brandishing haughty principles, this is about difficult decisions and learning in a maze of known und unknown unknowns. Expect mistakes to be made and try to find the right balance between fostering a blame culture where too much is swept under the rug to learn and a careless culture where too much is blanketly forgiven.
Only a few times a week is indeed to little to get used to it.

But that paper is specifically not about COVID-19 - "it is reasonable to suggest a human Coronavirus HCoV-OC43 as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2" - and is only tested in-vitro - "For each irradiation experiment 50 μl of virus suspension [...] was placed in each well of a black 24-well plate".

It might encourage people to give grant money for further research but it is 100% not evidence for the efficacy of "sticking a UV light inside the body will kill COVID-19".
