> Doing a C++23 import std

It’ll be nice when this can be reliably used. According to cppreference MSVC has partial support and other compilers have zero support.

I’m not sure modules will be in widespread use before 2029.

At the moment I just have the UniFi controller running on a Raspberry Pi. But I really do want to set up a good NAS for storage, and do some kind of encrypted snapshot backup to cloud for important things I currently just have strewn across some external hard drives and SSDs (generally at least two copies, but all the drives are at my house which isn’t great if there’s a fire or something).

I might get a small server (maybe the HPE Microserver) instead of something like a Synology, set Proxmox up on it, and then if I ever have the time I’d quite like to get a Samba 4 Active Directory controller going so I can control my few Windows machines better (and so it stops trying me to link a Microsoft account and all that).
What about the other way around? Trying to cripple rustc until its features are closer to clang's? For example, removing some of the sanitizers or borrow checker in rustc?

My original post was promoting car sharing services. Your usecase could be perfect for that, if they were reliable and always available, right?

At least it works fine for me. Whenever I need a car, I rent one parked outside. Instead of the street block being full of unused cars taking up the space, we now only have a few designated spots for these share cars, and some short term parking for visitors.
> not every C++ project is full of template metaprogramming

You're right. My project is not one of those projects.

As mentioned in the article, the C++ project has no dependencies (outside googletest and the standard library, whose build time isn't included in the benchmarks).

Also, the project is relatively light on templates compared to most C++ code that I've seen. The biggest offenders are narrow_cast and vector.

> Also at least in VC++, modules are already a thing

I'd love to use them, but I mostly work on Linux and macOS. =[

I didn't consider this downside of Rust! I imagine rlibs can be cached manually, right? I don't know if rlibs are portable between machines.
The EU wants mandatory tracking on all vehicles, that will constantly monitor location and speed, so saying a crackdown on ad surveillance is going to end surveillance capitalism in the EU is a bit rich. It's one aspect of it that is damaged, not destroyed. There are still tens of sources for info brokers.
Rust Atomics and Locks: Low-Level Concurrency in Practice
Top of the market rate in absolute sense is maybe only for top performers; I don’t know if they are or not. But top for the region; there are bucketloads of people (and not only on tech) in Fortune 500 companies that make a lot of money doing almost nothing and not actually contributing anything or very marginally. Deep management layers who get compensated based on weird metrics like number of people and layers ‘under them’ keep this alive and well.
Friend, you just strapped me into a time machine with that tale. Oh, the memories.

Worth noting many of the services on omg.lol support custom domains, e.g. https://zwe.st/omglol is on the URL shortener.

I extensively use the API for pastebin and URL shortener. It's very much a selling point for me -- love being able to control things on the command line with a few simple scripts.

> As I said, people can have good reasons for working for bad people. But many don't.

Fair enough. But who is the bad person in this instance? What is the bad thing they did in contrast to really bad people like kingpins and human traffickers? Is it worth jeopardising finacial stability and a career over it.

It seems to me we need a universal scale of morality - since people have to justify why they are continuing to work for a paycheck.
Backups. All my Linux computers back themselves up every night to the server. The server itself mounts the Windows PCs disks and backs those up. I use dirvish to do the backups.
It's interesting to explore the possibility space of communication, isn't it? We all use just a handful of communication modes, but so many more are possible. Here's an old idea of mine as an example: "Hands-only interface between two anonymous strangers who cannot hear or see each other, only touch and optionally see each other's hands. The elimination of usual communication channels like speech, facial expressions and body language makes this a novel way of interaction." If the participants don't know any predefined sign languages, what kind of information or emotion could they convey to each other? I look forward to extended reality and AI opening up a lot of the possibility space of wholly new communication modes.
The standard DNS and local network services, plus security cameras.

Being in California, I have tried to push as much as I can out of my home and into datacenters to save on power. That said storage is one of the most expensive things to do "in the cloud," so everything I have is backed up to my house where I can shove a ton of drives into a NAS and spin them down when idle.
Imagine an ant standing on some random point on a soccer ball in the middle of a field. Now rotate the ball so where the ant is will be directly facing the side of the field, 90 degrees rotation of the ball from facing either goal. At this specific point the ant can see each goal at each end of the field even though the ball is directly between the middle of the two goals. Well, depending how tall the ant is given the goals are so close to the ball.

A huge distance is actually a helping factor in this case. A 1.75 meter person can see 4,700 away before the horizon curves out of view. That means (ignoring the bending of light by the atmosphere still) the viewing angle allows for 1 meter "down" every ~2,685.7 meters out. The radius of the Earth is ~6,371,000 meters so to be able to see the middle of an object from ~the radius of the earth "down" with that viewing angle would require the object to be a minimum of ~2,685.7 * 6,371,000 = 17,110,594,700 meters away. That's a minimum distance of ~0.11 AU so the person would only get a partial view of the moon but a full view of the sun because the moon -isn't- far enough away! Well technically the Earth could rotate slightly farther while having the middle of the sun still visible but I'm too lazy to calculate if it's actually enough, my hunch is no. If you wanted to see the middle of the moon and the middle of the sun (with no bending by the atmosphere) during an eclipse you'd have to be near the top of Everest while it happens to be exactly rotated between each.
100% agreed. Understanding calculus lets one understand rates of change and thereby modeling. If you know the fundamentals of modeling via calculus, the understanding of so many things opens up and goes beyond just being able to understand things at a high level.

I haven't studied the new method in detail. But I will say they have an annoyingly poor understanding of the current state of vapor compression system refrigerants.

Because from the technological standpoint this is a solved problem. Domestic refrigeration runs on hydrocarbons (your fridge is likely running on pentane). Supermarket refrigeration runs on CO2. Both of these have proven efficiency, safety and environmental aspects, with millions of units installed. Large commercial refrigeration (slaughterhouse etc.) runs on hydrocarbons or ammonia, the latter is of course toxic, but in a large factory you have adequate procedures to handle that safely.

The two biggest challenges wrt. refrigerants today are to ensure that the old and bad solutions are phased out worldwide and not just in the richer countries, and to make sure the same transition happens for heat pumps, where the R1234-variants are being pushed now but are still problematic.
I wonder if some of the benefits come not from caloric restriction itself but reduction of something else that's harmful.

> Regenerative healing also requires freedom from substances that inhibit the digestion of the debris. The great decline in proteolytic autophagy that occurs with aging (Del Roso, et al., 2003) can be reduced by inhibiting the release of fatty acids. This effect is additive to the antiaging effects of calorie restriction, suggesting that it is largely the decrease of dietary fats that makes calorie restriction effective (Donati, et al., 2004, 2008)[0]

There was a top comment about the demographics of this directory.

Roughly paraphrasing, the comment was something like "male, male, male, male, male, male, male, male, female, male, male."

I think this comment was flagged and hidden.

Please be kind + compassionate in your replies, but I'm curious why the original comment was suppressed. What happened?
What was Microsoft's response? The non-response? Why should they respond?

What Julian should have done is sued Mojang in the first place. He didn't defend his "copyright" that he claims to have when he should have. So in court, he probably would not have won - even if Microsoft would have dragged this out for an extended period of time and exhausted financial avenues.

IANAL!

The statue of limitation on copyright infringement is 3 years, as far as I am aware. So while Julian does retain copyright, he cannot sue Mojang for copyright infringement. When Microsoft bought Mojang - the infringing party is still Mojang - the company still exists, and the game is still being published under Mojang.

He is more than likely aware of this, and hoping other people aren't. He's trying to spin this as the little guy vs Microsoft, but that glosses over the detail about the statute of limitation on copyright infringement.

He was hoping to shame Microsoft into settling, but legally (and ethically, I would say) Microsoft doesn't have to. So he puts it into the public domain. He thinks he's played the smart hand, but now Microsoft is legally allowed to subsume Mojang without worrying about triggering a fresh round of copyright infringement.

The 1700 lawyer legal team probably wisely counseled Microsoft in staying quiet. Lest they speak and appear the fool.
There might be enough lithium for EVs, but lithium is needed not only for EV batteries. Overall, there is no enough lithium to phase out fossil fuels. Not even for the first generation of technology devices. Here is the presentation given by prof. Simon Michaux where the problem is explained in more detail and supported with data:

Lithium is not the only problem, other minerals are too. And, just like the original article says - the pace of extraction.

That does not mean it's not terribly useful.

Author here! Most of the engine documentation was figured out by many romhackers over the years; I merely started the efforts to write a comprehensive overview.

If you're interested in projects taking advantage of this knowledge, the Daid's LADX Randomizer [0] is awesome. It includes a ton of assembly tweaks that makes the engine more flexible, and add many options to the game.

And Link’s Awakening Redux [1] is a good example of life-improvement game tweaks made using the disassembly.

The Rendition Verite chips also had antialiasing, which was awesome. Was a while before anybody else had that.

AA was an underappreciated feature at the time. You didn't really notice it unless you had quite a sharp monitor! Everybody else just got antialiasing "for free" thanks to their blurry screens. =)

like it or not but things like pronouns, rainbow themes, gender neutral avatars, even masks are used as political symbols to signify allegiance. It's opt-in (like wearing an arm band) and allows people who partake to identify political allies and adversaries.

Even pointing this out objectively will get somebody steamrolled.

It's absolutely a thing. Rampant in SV from what I hear. Many people get them prescribed (Adderall, Ritalin) for ADD, but it seems like 20-40% of programmers have diagnosed ADD. Others buy from friends who get it prescribed, or on the black market, and they probably don't talk about it at work.

I don't think most employers would fire an employee for taking drugs to improve their performance.

Regardless of safety (and I say this as someone who used to take prescription Adderrall myself) there are negative side effects, and long-term effects.

It's a different but related concept: Framasoft in France (https://framasoft.org/fr/). It's a non-profit that provides open-source alternatives to common cloud services. They also teach people how to install and configure these tools on their own server instead of relying on providers reselling their data.

What is political about an additional axis along which some people choose to make known how they'd like to be referred to? I'm genuinely asking. I don't believe things become political when they happen to be split down party lines in <current country> -- if that were the case then climate change is political now, but climate change is as debatable as, say, the existence of subatomic particles. IMO something is political when it actually relates to what politicians do, i.e., it's something you can vote for. You can't vote for... a ban on using pronouns that don't match birth sex? A ban on sharing pronouns at all?
I refuse to buy anything locked behind a case at a location that is supposed to be a convenience.

Pretty much all drug stores are convenience locations located near grocery stores, Targets, local shops, shopping centers etc.

If Walgreens wants to put my favorite deodorant or razors behind a box in an understaffed location (because they've replaced multiple employees with a self check out) I'll just get a less good alternative elsewhere, order my favorite online, and be sure to track my usage so I don't run out next time.
I didn't work in the industry at that time but I did hear the stories. I might have a different perspective if I was on the ground.

We have a pretty open internet today, or at least MS is no longer the biggest threat to it so maybe this was just another MS-bungled project lol.

Jokes aside, utmost respect to the people who have fought for an open internet over the years.
Me too, it's been a lot of years since I bothered with a home lab, but just recently I put NixOS on a triad of Intel NUCs work was throwing away. They're fanless, quiet and decent enough for Linux with their 16GB memory and 8 cores. Way better than a RasberryPi.

Now I can do some experiments I wanted to do, but not use VMs on my laptop. Feels more real when I can see a little stack of servers I can pull the power on. All are running tailscale so I can get to them from anywhere and run some simple tests. Example: I wanted to play with a quorum of FoundationDB nodes and see how things can fail. Also I'll run k3s and do some experimenting with that. Can I use minicube on my laptop? Sure, but this is more fun.
This study did not involve mice.
You are absolutely right about how this will be abused, but your enforcement mechanism is neither practical nor enforceable. I'm not sure how to address this problem short of throwing ever larger books at fraudsters or trying to conceal technical information.

Interesting about the security note and WASM re: the Neovim version. (see here: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim. More specifically here: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/blob/master/SECURITY.m...)

Does this open up an attack surface on users using vim/neovim? This page seems to indicate that neovim (and this) do not run in a sandbox already.

Can anyone with more knowledge on this expand on that?
Your sample size and personal experiences are small.
I can easily contast your story with my own limited anecdote. I grew up in a poor dysfunctional family in a high school so bad it nearly was state mandated. I dropped out of university two years in. The rich kids in my class and many of my peers got degrees. Yet very few moved away and of those who did they all struggle to be more than entry level office workers or interns making double minimum wage at best Yet somehow I'm making 6 figures.

I understand this can be shocking, but to me excessive precautions (such as no in-person school to avoid suicides), just lead to another ripple effect that is extremely detrimental to us as a society. The problem needs to be addressed for sure, but it doesn't mean home schooling is superior to in person.

Looked through a few pages, this one I think explains it fairly well https://demos.smu.ca/index.php/demos/astronomy/35-red-sunset...

The answer it gives is more of a combination of what I thought and what the parent said, tl;dr version: scattering both due to just normal oxygen and nitrogen composition of the air and also pollutants (which I think dust would also qualify, though most things I could find that specified were talking more about sulfur compounds).
It's the sort of thing that's totally a non

a lot back then.

Yeah, that used to be really interesting!

Sometimes monitor cables themselves were the culprits. I remember seeing a very noticeable difference between various VGA cables. Unnoticeable in games, but very significant when working with text. Especially when coding on a cramped CRT monitor with the smallest font size my eyes could tolerate, so I could have the maximum amount of code and documentation onscreen at once.

Differences in analog video output were noticeable in the game console space as well.

For example NEC's PC Engine was known for having really sharp, vibrant composite output. Most models of the Genesis/Megadrive did not. Etc.
Wouldn't endianness interfere with this notation and the preceding one?
The EUPL is copyleft for any derivative work (as defined by EU law) so the scope of copyleft is not clearly defined.
But EU law allows linking without producing a derivative work [1] "linking two programs does not produce a single derivative of both (each program stay covered by its primary licence)".
So this is weak copyleft. It's something like LGPL with network protection.

They have modified the EUPL license though, which means they have created another license which is incompatible with EUPL. I believe they should use a different name for the modified license. This is confusing.

> So really it seems this should be considered as licensed as those two.

If you create a different work based on the original (EUPL licensed) work and some AGPL code, you still have to abide by the EUPL but you license the resulting work as AGPL, so others have to abide by the AGPL only.

I'm not a lawyer
