"in mice"

At this point it should be clear to everyone that very few treatments that work on mice actually translate effectively to larger animals, not to mention primates. We've been curing diseases in mice for decades, including aging, yet very few of those have produced meaningful treatments for humans.

Not that we shouldn't keep doing research, but maybe wait for primate studies before getting exited about it.
Maybe not, but if all small files in a directory have the same structure, permissions, owner and same parent directory, and you don't care about x-times, you might as well use this context.

With VPNs implementing split-horizon / internal DNS, all of them will change the resolver config. There's no way around it really without more hacky solutions. It definitely should revert the config on each disconnect, so maybe it's just a bug.

I think some forms of pleasure stem from novelty. "Variety is the spice of life" and all that.

I hear you, but the deliberate and ideology driven manipulation of macro-economic figures and the lack of access to such data calls for the “no bullshit street perception datapoints” at times. E.g., the ECB claiming 2% inflation for decades conveniently leaving real-estate out of their basket etc.
I provided the datapoints showing a 10% decline in industry production - adding that there are a couple of considerations that could change the numbers a lot and we don’t have a hell lot of transparency about. Hence backing it up with anecdotes.

As an example: if (!!) the 10% decline was adjusted by the official inflation, would you believe that it was 2% from 2015-2020 or would you rather go for 5% that reflect also real-estate and other commodities relevant for industry (e.g., if steel increased 50%, so might industry output simply because of price changes). So, the “official figures” could be vastly inflated and the situation could be a lot worse even.
Yeah, I gave up trying immediately upon realizing this.

I'm in Germany and can absolutely confirm these impressions. Factories are closing and moving abroad. The misguided policies are forcing them to. Publicly traded multinational companies that are beholden to their shareholders cannot stay here, even if the management would like to.
Yeah I totally understand that. I do have to give them credit though because everything is still technically "reachable with the same steps". For example, I was reading a help article which went like go to "X > Y > Z" menu. And in the new UI it was surprisingly exactly the same way to get there as in the old one.

Really cool! Thanks for sharing.
During my undergrad education in engineering, we were required to include a significant number of 'humanities' courses. In hindsight this was clearly beneficial but even at the time one could see the sense in that. But it struck many of my classmates and me that it was a bit odd that the converse requirement did not exist. The "arts and humanities" majors were not required to take more than a couple of "math and science" courses. Maybe one of each? While we were taking full on regular 1st, 2nd, even 3rd year courses from their world, there were watered down math and science courses on offer for them.

The asymmetry was baffling. We were told this would make us "well rounded", but it seemed that those outside the math-science-engineering world were considered Just Fine without even a 3rd semester of calculus, and were allowed to indulge a greater portion of their time at university in matters more directly aligned to their interests. This definitely put a division into the academic atmosphere, though not an acrimonious one; the two camps peaceably coexisted and as undergrads we all just did what we had to do.

That was a while ago now, maybe things have changed somewhat. But from the article, it sounds like maybe not so much.
I think most of the gratuitous verbosity comes from qualifying smt::fmt::Error. If you import it, it becomes

fn fmt(&self, _: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), FmtError> {}

But the common practice is to have an alias Result<T> to mean Result<T, whateverErrorWeAreDealingWith>. This doesn't really maps well to doing impls in the Debug trait, since this trait uses an error that is generally different from the error defined by your own application, but with some care, it can be used. Then it becomes:

fn fmt(&self, _: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<()> {}

Okay, but what about the whole rest? it's syntactically heavy, but each part of it is very significant.

Take the <'_>. It means that the Formatter struct receives a lifetime parameter but you opted to explictly omit it. In previous Rust editions, you would keep it implicit

fn fmt(&self, _: &mut Formatter) -> Result<()> {}

But this was confusing and ambiguous! People looked at it and sometimes didn't know there is a lifetime involved - until it showed up in compiler error messages!

Now, there's two elided lifetimes in this snippet: one in the &self and one in the &mut. Rust has clear rules for this case: your snippet means

fn fmt<'a, b>(&'a self, _: &'b mut Formatter<'_>) -> ...

Once you learn the rules (and here are the rules https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/lifetime-elision.html), this makes the syntax slightly lighter. It's not an issue like the other case because if you know the rule, it's not ambiguous.

The _ in place of the variable name is there just to not give a name to the formatter. It's actually a catch-all pattern (like one in the end of a match). If you wanted to give a name but disable the unused lint, you would write _formatter instead.

The rest, I can't really remove much sacrificing the semantics. The only superfluous thing I love is the ->, which is much better than the C convention of putting the return type before the function name (IMO).

The <> syntax itself for generic parameters sucks, and it's about the worst thing that Rust inherited from the C++ syntax. The :: also sucks, and it's also from C++ (the turbofish ::<> combines both, and it was Rust's brainchild. https://turbo.fish/ [0]) Actually most C++ influences on the Rust syntax is a disaster. I would much prefer to have a Haskell-inspired syntax for types, so that the type Result<A, Box<C>> would be written Result A (Box C)

[0] there were multiple attempts to remove the turbofish from the syntax. this thread has a discussion of it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26019053 - also see https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/fe3yg...

> Actually, the full UI even feels much smoother than on my RPi4

Is KDE using the accelerated graphics on Raspberry Pi 4 now? Last I checked, which admittedly is a year or so ago, it seemed the answer was it's using software rendering, with no plans to change that.

Of course hardware accelerated rendering is much smoother than pure software rendering. I still recall just how much smoother Windows 3.11 became when I got that Tseng ET6000 graphics card, my first with any acceleration.

Banks can create deposits but creating deposits that aren't backed with reserves entails a risk of insolvency. Thus the amount of deposits banks can create is ultimately limited by the reserves that they hold. The demand for credit also affects the amount of deposits that are created in practice.

This is pretty much the kind of decay that people were expecting. Twitter's decline will be a "death by a thousand bites."

I may be wrong, but I think you are focusing too much on the practical consequences in this one case.

These consequences indeed are minimal - but that was due to luck, really, where I had not used the account.

If I had, and I had servers running, I would have been what on the face of it appears to be blackmailed into handing over sensitive, personal data.

There is also the question of AWS's procedures. One day of notice to close an account is not reasonable. It is a concern for any open accounts - on the face of it, it implies the need to check email from AWS every day and be ready to hand over any information AWS ask for, or your servers will shut down the next day.

What happens when you get sick? have covid, as I did? pow - servers all gone!

There's no discussion possible here, either, as Support take a few days to reply.

I may be wrong, but this is a concern.

I think you have to admit there is the possibility here for people to lose their accounts, without any chance of discussion, because they are unwell - and that is crazy; it's a flawed procedure.

"I was hit by a bus, in hospital with two broken legs and concussion, but my first priority was checking my AWS email every day! thank God AWS at least give one day of notice!"

(And the strangeness of two emails in the same day, with differing notice periods. What was going on, behind the scenes?)

I'm not looking to try again to open a new account, because I expect this to happen again.

Back in the NT4/Windows 2k days I recall having to do some extra steps to modify an identifier in the registry (or similar) when cloning Windows images.

Otherwise the clone would not properly register on the network. Perhaps it was only when speaking to the Domain Controller though.

Tbh I’m sick of these supposedly well-intentioned “reminders” to be better, to not “waste time”, and so on: for most people they demonstrably don’t work, as evidenced by the fact that out of one thousand people that know it applies to them, only a handful will do something about it. While the rest will verbally acknowledge it, will fret about it in their minds, and yet will do nothing about it.

If one individual fails to change, that’s their problem: if a method of change doesn’t work for the vast majority of people, then the problem is with the method.

Just my pet theory here but I don’t think that most people can just get off reddit because they have only X weeks left; can lose weight because they know they are eight kilograms overweight; can start exercising because someone told them something bad will happen to them in twenty years if they don’t; can start socializing because someone told them that in studies XYZ, people who are lonely are 90% more likely die of pancreatic cancer… it’s all completely backwards.

Because you know what makes people do anything? A purpose, goal, or meaning. By trying to “get the most out of my remaining 2800 weeks” like some little optimizing robot, you’re trying to improve “in life” (who wants to be a loser in life right) by doing the equivalent of maintaining your garden by removing all the weeds with a tweezer; already having some kind of purpose is what compels people to lose weight and to focus their time, because they might need that time to fulfill their purpose, they might need to lose weight in order to be fit enough to do what they need to do, and so on.

I also notice that having a purpose has a large impact on getting through the day. Because then everything I do, I do in support of that purpose. But when I lack a purpose? Then most things are mundane, robotic, tedious checklists. Things I do in order to avoid things like maybe possibly getting pancreatic cancer in thirty years time.

Our societies are built on specializing on what you're good at. If you're not a good parent, you should let people who are good at it handle that part.

Yes, a (developed) society needs about 2.1 children per woman (or have immigration from other societies) but people not having kids can easily be averaged out by other people having three or four kids.

I would actually argue that in the face of climate change, a society having too many kids and thus a growing population and resource usage is disadvantageous for the society's survival.

Quine relay [1] is to this day the most "I will never understand this" brainfuck project I have ever seen.

> This is a Ruby program that generates Rust program that generates Scala program that generates ...(through 128 languages in total, including brainfuck!)... REXX program that generates the original Ruby code again.

It is so mysterious how it's even possible, and hilariously the explanation of how it was made exists in Japanese only. I think at this point it would be easier to learn Japanese than to try to understand this project.

Other things like a brainfuck interpreter in brainfuck are impressive but don't come nearly as close to black magic as quine-relay.

While it would be prudent to have the uninstaller clean up, this is a losing battle. It's basically become normalized that any package can and will overwrite resolv.conf at any time without necessarily clean up afterwards. It's seen as ephemeral.

I find it kind of baffling that as an IT contractor you've managed to go months without changing it since (:

Someone else mentioned making it immutable, which is not a bad idea if only editing it manually is what you want.

Next step if you still want it dynamic would making it owned by the designated user of the process making the changes you actually want (e.g. NetworkManager/systemd-networkd/netctl/whathaveyou).

It could be cheaper to build the way they did it. Greenhouses are really expensive, and they get hot in the summer so need sophisticated ventilation systems. Another part to why they did it that way is they might want to stack more layers of crops in the future.
