It seems in terms of web dev related crates, admittedly a niche for Rust, there have been quite a bunch of abandoned, unfinished projects and other stability issues.

There also seems to be a general trend towards sophistication and away from simplicity. That’s a tradeoff that makes me personally wary, rather than excited at this point in my life.

Much of that is to be expected, given the age and the unique value props of the language. But the stability to hype ratio seems unattractive overall, even though the language and tooling are great to a large extent.
I never really realized it until I watched the Technology Connections video about headlights, but now I notice it all the time: improper use of high beams or improperly aimed headlights are horribly selfish and dangerous for others.

I’m loving some of the tech there is to shape the beam based on oncoming vehicles. But even just being in front of a car with headlights aiming right into your cabin is terrible.
> France has a protectionist mindset when it comes to critical industries (e.g. energy generation, shipbuilding, semiconductors)

Between the power cuts due to the planned lack of maintenance of their nuclear reactions, and the loss of various contracts and shipyards, I'd have though they'd have learned the lesson.

But now, it now time for the ritual sacrifice of this last critical industry

Which should be illegal.
Seems like a good strategy would be to pay white hats or gray hats large bounties to aid taking down these gangs.
That's testable. It should be possible to compare the rate of "long covid" issues between people who tested positive for covid at some point, and people who didn't. Break it down by area so you're comparing populations with the same isolation rules.

This would be an especially good comparison since it's unlikely that people who caught covid were more isolated on average.
Local grocery stores are a far better option.

Yeah, that would be like buying a $5000 car and getting a new crate engine for $12000 from the manufacturer, then paying another $5000 to do the swap.
Study analyses data up to 2016, nowhere close to be impacted by vaccines.
Amazingly enough this can happen in the US as well. About 15 years ago I went to a sleepy little town in Northern California (might have been near Novato), where there was a used bookstore with nobody working. You pay what you think the book is worth, and just put your money in the tin by the door. Wonder if that bookstore is still around.
I say tipping is necessary, for me, because it helps people out.
Neat.

Simple way to track time spent on projects that is resilient to user forgetfulness. Much better than collecting timestamps from git commits. Could be interesting to merge with git history and measure how productivity (some combo of bash activity and git activity and lines-of-code/Kolmogorov-complexity) change with time-of-day, season, weather, etc.

# store timestamps

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "

# append immediately (affects timestamps?)

PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND; history -a"

# do not limit .bash_history file size

export HISTFILESIZE=""

# append mode (collect from multiple shells)

shopt -s histappend

# multi-line commands as single record

shopt -s cmdhist
> The galaga arcade was driven by three Z80 CPUs

I'm not super familiar with arcade hardware, but it's always fascinated me how the Z80 and the 6502 dominated the market for reasonably-priced CPUs for about a decade. You'd just use one for everything. The 68k would eventually come into the picture, but even into the 1990s you still had a major console like the Super Nintendo using a 65816, which is essentially a 6502 with 16-bit extensions.

Games were getting really big in the 80s, but it took a long time for hardware R&D to kick into gear.
But aren't there systemic reasons in the US that you want a kid with any issues to be diagnosed as autistic, because funding is based on diagnosis rather than need?
Search is meaningless when the storage is so expensive. We can't afford to maintain logs more than a year. I'd give anything to be able to walk back through conversations 2-3 years ago, but it's simply too expensive for the org.
What Technologies Are You Future Proofing With?
I feel like I have frequently missed the boat with impactful technologies. At the time of release/hype I dismissed React, Docker, Kubernetes, Rust, and more.

Those of course emit a lot more tailpipe emissions, but they aren't running rideshare either. If you have a consumer gas car with efi and a cat, the tailpipe is probably pretty benign compared to something from the 70s.
It's a fair point. TypeScript + Node is mostly fine.

My main issue with using TypeScript is that you're building in the JavaScript ecosystem. For most things you'll need to use JavaScript packages which typically only have a few years of maturity to back them up.

There's also no standardised way of building things in TypeScript and this was a similar problem PHP had when I first started working with PHP. Back then it was common for developers to copy and paste bits of code from all over the internet into their projects. Every project would be structured differently. The tooling wasn't standardised. Etc..

But today PHP feels surprisingly mature. TypeScript is like trying to build something in Ruby without Rails, or Java without Spring. And now PHP has Laravel which is used almost universally in new PHP projects.
Definitely not a gimmick.

A lot of questions I would have googled, I now ask ChatGPT.

It's not always reliable of course but it's often quicker and somewhat more extensive and specific when I need code snippets for example.

I think it's complimentary technologies. It will definitely eat up search market share.

It's almost as if yesteryear encyclopedias were having their revenge.

I mean, at some point, when you knowingly allow your site to list items from vendors you do not curate in any shape so that you without a doubt know that your vendors are selling legit, legal, un-spoiled, not past sell by date, or any other form of decent business practices, then of course you're going to make it harder and harder for people to complain. The first step is always just ignore complaints. The second step is to just remove the option to allow for complaints. Just like that, you're complaints go way way down, and some manager gets a bonus for improving something.

None of your objections are contradictory to requiring a real lawyer put their license on the line to vouch for the AI. Structural engineering jobs require a licensed PE to sign off on all designs. That doesn't mean they have to do all the work themselves, just supervise enough and trust their delegates enough to be confident the job is being done correctly. Licensed Electricians are responsible for all the work under their permits. Registered Nurses are largely responsible for all the LPNs working under them. All of these arrangements save money, but still require someone licensed to take responsibility. There is no reason AI couldn't be used in the same manner and save even more money, if done properly.
Nostr messages are all signed though. Why would you want two signatures on a message. And if two signatures are better than one, why not 3 signatures?
> The classic formula for hooking up is time and proximity - throw people together in the same space and wait - people will start hooking up. No app can provide this - they are designed with the exact opposite scenario in mind.

Yes, 100% this is correct. Proximity is everything. When people "bump" into each other frequently, they are more likely to start conversations, more likely to get to know each other, and naturally, hook up.

This is why the "third place" concept is so important. Home is the 1st, Office 2nd, but you generally need another place where people just hang out. This might be a community pool, garden, plaza etc. Somewhat more restricted 3rd places are coffeeshops, bars, art galleries, museums, libraries etc.

I believe that cities that want to attract people should invest heavily in creating these places. e.g. Austin built a First Class public library; I was extremely skeptical about that investment, but when the library opened, its a work of art!
Some countries have no provisions for giving up citizenship (Argentina I think) so I wonder what happens in those situations.

Wow - the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon must be real.

I just created my first song using automatic real-time pure intonation and uploaded it yesterday[0]. I used a plugin called Scale Breaker[1] that connects to MPE instruments in Ableton (used Wavetable for all the synths in the song since it's MPE enabled) and set the tuning to automatic Just Intonation (12T) with 5-limit symmetric aug 5th tuning. I edited all the bass notes to trigger the correct tuning for each chord so each note is automatically microtuned to be perfectly resonant.

I make House music and noticed that not many people have been experimenting using real-time just intonation in the genre so I gave it a go to see what it sounds like - it was pretty fun to make. I believe perfectly resonant music is going to be really big in the next few years now that these automatic tuning plugins are available.

Question: does your plugin work through modulating the notes using MPE? My understanding is that this method allows for more versatility.

Lets flip the discussion and rather than asking when section 230 should apply, lets ask when publisher ever should be held liable for published content. Platforms don't need immunity to laws regulating publisher if those laws did not exist.

If publishing laws only required that publisher prevented copyright infringement and sex trafficking, both being a requirement of existing 230, then everything could continue as before and the immunity provided by 230 would be unnecessary. The question is who if any would be harmed.

You don't see the borrow checker. It manifests itself in encouraging RAII inspired writing and logical flow.

Lifetime annotations help how you use and exchange certain data, but you can get away without them unless you need them. For shared data structures (when synchronization primitives are too much) and highly performant code.

You can write high level Java, Ruby, and Python code in Rust if you want to. Writing Actix or Axum web handlers feels no different than Golang or Python/Flask.

Great concept! A randomized controlled study (RCT) would be the next step in elevating this from a wellness app to a medical/behavioral intervention.

At least in the US, this could be a good candidate for an NIH or similar grant, and partnering with an academic researcher who has done it before would lessen the workload.

My former colleagues at the Center for Behavioral Health and Technology at UVA https://bht.Virginia.edu (for example) conduct research similar to this.

I think, to put it simply, depression is the inability to be happy.

It could be chemical, but usually at its core it's a constant sadness about something you cannot, or will not, change. Whether it's for your own self, or for someone else, or just about the state of affairs you witness in the world.

Money, friendship, family, a partner, security, a safety net, an optimistic future.. For most depressed people it's a lack of one or more of those things.

> If that is the case, the sheer number of those likely caught in that particular surveillance would likely be categorized as mass surveillance

No need to speculate. The internet companies that provide this data publish transparency reports showing ranges for how many accounts are affected. It's a small fraction of a percent.

> The how is simple. We take everything in.

That is illegal, and there is no evidence of that happening. PRISM, the program that we're talking about in particular, explicitly isn't that according to Snowden's documents and the declassified documents.

> when IC had a chance to come clean and chose not to

He came clean right after and declassified a bunch of documents on that phone metadata program (https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-...). Remember, the line of questioning was about if the NSA builds dossiers on Americans, which it doesn't do. The questions then pivoted to whether it collects any information at all about Americans, which would include the phone metadata collection

> I can't really take their words at face value

You don't have to. There have been several leaks, including Snowden's massive leak, showing that the NSA doesn't do this. There is also the law, which says the NSA can't do this, and there is congressional oversight from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which ensures that the NSA doesn't do this. If what you claim was happening, leakers would be sure to leak that first over anything else because it is unquestionably illegal.

I click the "Login" button and it takes me to my list of "Workspaces" (of which I only ever click on one). I then click on the one workspace I use, and nothing. It's just like I logged in from scratch. The link is totally gone now. I can now manually paste it into the address bar again and there's a 50% chance it will take me to the conversation I wanted, but maybe not because Slack.

Oddly enough, that query now returns results.
This is an intellectual question for curiosity’s sake.

I realize that an OTP encryption system will not be a practical improvement for communication compared to e.g. the Signal protocol, which is easier to use and provides a number of other advantageous properties; or something like TLS. (If you could securely exchange one time pad material, then you could also more easily exchange asymmetric keys)

I realize that actual systems have a large number of threat vectors, and that the encryption protocol itself is unlikely to be the primary risk.

Nevertheless, I’m curious: if one decides to implement digital encryption using one time pads, what is the most practical source of suitable randomness?

And have communication protocols been designed for OTP, or would your best bet be to layer it on top of something like Signal or TLS? It seems that you probably need to exchange at least some metadata along with each message describing, e.g., the message size and starting offset into the pad material - metadata that you’d want to protect with encryption, and I don’t see a very straightforward way to protect it using OTP.

On reflection, this probably only has relevance for government or military communications that might need to remain secure for longer than 50 years.

Perhaps the use-case is something like an aircraft carrier, submarine, or other large, critical vehicle or facility, that receives OTP material by delivery of a hard drive protected by considerable physical security.

Critical communication from these vehicles/infrastructure would remain protected against future cryptographic attacks - e.g., if an algorithmic vulnerability is discovered, or there’s a breakthrough in quantum or traditional computing that renders today’s encryption vulnerable within the next few decades — the OTP-protected message content remains protected. (Even if intercepted, recorded, and attacked decades later)

Yes, I agree that the practical applications are limited… The questions are an exercise for curiosity’s sake: if you’re going to employ OTP encryption, then …
https://uxwizz.com - Self-hosted analytics platform (like a self-hosted Hotjar + Google Analytics combined)

I initially made it for webmasters to use it, but it seems more popular within web agencies (to offer it to their own clients). In both cases, it at least achieves the goal of reducing data centralization and data sharing with 3rd parties.
If it was a quilted gambeson, that would make a lot more sense, but it seems quite clearly to have a shape and structure to it - see in particular the shoulders and, in some cases, what appear to be breastplates shaped to emphasise the bust. So if it's meant to be cloth, it's apparently cloth over metal plates, which is the opposite of how a gambeson works.

And if you look closely, it really does appear that the white armor has a 3D textured surface that is a lot more like scale than it is like quilted fabric.

I agree that it doesn't look much like any sort of armour, but I think the show was aiming for scale.
