I mostly agree with you and perhaps this was the wrong article to put my comment on because I think in this case they did well with raspberry pi.

> without purchasing a software subscription or having to be programmed in ladder logic

I am thinking of cases where a small PLC, some industrial sensors and ladder logic is a good, reliable and easy solution, but someone reaches for a raspberry pi and python scripts because that's what they've been exposed to.

I agree adding something on top of an existing PLC can be great too. In my first job nearly 20 years ago, I did machine automation and we always added an industrial mini ITX PC to our PLC panels. This cheaply added datalogging (an advertised feature for the customer) and remote programming capability (usually an unadvertised feature that made us look really impressive when we could fix something immediately without going to the very remote site). Depending on what was available on site, we could connect remotely by the site's internet, by a modem/landline, or by a cellular radio (configured as a modem, as this predated reasonable prices for data plans). Sometimes the PLCs were from the 80s and none of the competitors would quote anything except tearing everything out and starting over, but would could find a way to add to the old system.

Connecting remotely by some official upgrade from the PLC manufacturer was usually technically possible, but impossible in practice to get authorization to gain access to the network, and get things configured to allow access to the PLC from offsite. But dialing up to our own installed modem bypassed all of that, and since a PC is versatile, there was always some way to bridge the PLC's programming interface to the PC.

I recall that we had to go out of our way to find PCs that didn't look like PCs and were DIN-rail mounted. Anything that looked like a PC would eventually get messed with by someone.
But why is it closed source? It makes no sense why you would obfuscate this.
Stock Options != key equity ownership. Neither does employee equity, because the key word there is "key".

If you get hired at Amazon, you get stock options after your vest is done. This does not mean you have any real impact at all on company decisions.

The idea of employees owning the company is Marxism 101. No fucking way any founders in this economic system will be for it

How does regulation for commercial manufacture and trade of electronic devices make your personal use illegal?
Yeah that's right, we use the RustPython parser and lexer internally. Works great! And it's actually seen a bunch of improvements over the past few months -- we contributed back some CPython compatibility improvements and a couple new language features (parenthesized with statements, match statements, *except support).

Zip tie guns are amazing. They pull to an adjustable tension and then cut off the tail. I ended up with a Panduit model that retails for $300, but harbor freight's $20 unit works very well.
As far as I'm aware, most OEIS sequences have a variety of different algorithms (Maple, Mathematica) to generate them. It would be nice to be able to extend these sequences out and see if this has any change to "Sloane's gap".
curated? by perusing through I can see it is not.
The pattern of the 3 lines creating 7 pieces always reminded me of a poorly graffitied anarchy symbol. which, in its own fun way is ironic, as cutting pie that way is pure disorder and not forming the top vertex of the “A” along the circle does not fully conform to the standard anarchy symbol! (fwiw, I do know anarchy means no ruler/hierarchy rather than no rules/chaos, so pardon the relaxed definition in search of humor)
See RFC 8981 (and that which it made obsolete, RFC 4941).
Thanks for sharing this. One of the authors here.

We built a service that executes arbitrary user-submitted code. An RCE service. It's the thing you're not supposed to build, but we had to do it.

Running arbitrary code means containers weren't a good fit ( container breakouts happen), so we are spinning up and down ec2 instances. This means we have actual infrastructure as code (i.e. not just piles of terraform but go code running in a service that spins up and down VMs based on API calls).

The service spins up and down EC2 instances based on user requests and executes user-submitted build scripts inside them.

It's not the standard web service we were used to building, so we thought we'd write it up and share it with anyone interested.

One cool thing we learned was how quickly you can Hibernate and wake up x86 EC2 instances. That ended up being a game-changer for us.

Corey and Brandon did the building, I'm mainly just the person who wrote things down, but hopefully, people find this interesting.
You oughtta see what Roblox is doing. Nothing else quite like encouraging loot crates, minors working on semi-business ventures, stock markets, AND foreign exchanges.

Kids have lost tens of thousands of dollars on their platform. And I'm guessing if they were sued, none of it is binding, because minors.

These art tools are just the first step. Ability for computer to show things live and communicate visually with humans might open up some novel use cases.
The best game I've seen for this is WazHack. It is free to download and play, but only to a certain depth. From there, if you want to go further, you pay for whatever type of character you want to use. If you only want to use one type of character, like barbarian, it costs 1$x. If you want to play all 8, it's 8$x.

Straight forward, you can play it to see if you like it, you can play the different characters to see if they match your play style. No other purchases needed.
NTFS is a pain in the ass because of issues like this and more. If you're ever developing code on Linux/Mac and have to store it directly on an NTFS file system you're going to have issues unless you know all the rules... some of which are incompatible with things like man files.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/namin...

These filenames are straight out

>Do not use the following reserved names for the name of a file: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed immediately by an extension; for example, NUL.txt and NUL.tar.gz are both equivalent to NUL.

:, allowed in Linux, is a filestream or drive letter signifier on NTFS.

'file ' with a space at the end of the name, that's a no no here too.
People are terrible at doing total cost of ownership budgeting, and will be swayed by a cheaper price upfront. You need to provide the economical incentive (or regulation) when the car is bought to counteract it.
Unless it is some sort of open-source game project, I don't play free games.
Mario Kart 8 is an interesting case actually, because 16 of the 48 courses in the base Switch version (a full third) were originally paid DLC when Mario Kart 8 was on the Wii U.

That doesn’t mean Mario Kart 8 is a bad deal! I think even the new paid DLC is a great value to keep adding high‐quality material to an existing game. It’s pretty fascinating to see how Nintendo has managed to keep a 2014 game going, and still succeeds at convincing people to buy it for $60—it still sells like hotcakes.
I don't think his work ethic comes from his upbringing - our parents didn't push us that hard and my work ethic is average. It may come from the fact that he found what he loves to do early in his career, it may come from my Dad's genes (his work ethic was pretty good), or a combo of both

There's two issues going on imo:

1. Technology has moved faster than regulation (a given).

2. There was a massive secular culture war victory in the west for shutting down those who decry vice and immorality among the religious, to the point that it's associated with mostly negative things: elitism, bigotry, patriarchal thinking, etc. It's simply not cool to say "gov't should regulate phones cause they are vice dispensary machines." Think of Helen Lovejoy from the Simpsons. So many times I've seen people here comment that "Elvis caused a moral panic" too or whatever basically agreeing with that point while we all work trying to get our cut.

I don't know, maybe it takes a generation going through adolescence with these things everywhere for anything to happen. Maybe these industries will self police, but I don't get why any of us would want to work on games like this, or give them to our children.
Perhaps I have seen them, but forgot all about them? I don't know. But I watched very nearly zero YouTube videos before I signed up for premium, because the ads put me off. That the ads put me off implies that I did see the overlay ones and have blocked the memory of them from my mind.

In any case, I don't know precisely what they are and am assuming they're like the ones broadcast TV uses.
I'm very confused as well. Are we facing a wall of GPT-generated comments?
Is that known for sure?

Yup, that's the thing to do.

Trouble? That's just learning. It's a bit of friction. But it's worth the effort. Language (esp English) evolves at a breakneck speed.

They tried with Super Mario Run (https://supermariorun.com/en/), which was a premium pay-once game introduced by Miyamoto himself at an Apple keynote.

That didn't work, then Fire Emblem Heroes made a billion dollars.
Nice! I've been using Maps.me but recently it got acquired and new owners had some problems with understanding why people use it
Much of the text (the last few words of each chat bubble) is unreadable in Firefox for Android due to misalignment issues (falls outside the chat bubble).

In both Chrome and Firefox, global dark styles (whether built-in or via Dark Reader) also render the chat bubbles unreadable due to contrast issues (the text color gets set to something very light, but the chat bubble backgrounds remain white).

That sucks because the design otherwise seems cute and fun to me. :(
What is so wrong with DNS over UDP? It's worked like that since it was invented. Surely making sure your cluster has a UDP-accessible DNS service can't be that hard. I think this is not an unreasonable decision for the musl maintainers to take.

Is there an RFC that deprecated DNS over UDP?
> Are there really that many Python libraries implemented in C?

There are a lot that use the C API, even if some of those aren't implemented in C (some are actually implemented in Rust.)
I've been paying attention to my surroundings a bit more lately, and it's _shocking_ how many people don't even bother using hands-free technology with their phones. I frequently see people holding their phone 6 inches from their face, presumably on speaker phone (but probably using it more actively than that), which blocks a good 50% of their windshield.

Even before I had a car with bluetooth capabilities, if I _needed_ to make a call on the road (which is already a very high bar), I would use the voice assistant to place a call on speaker phone and talk loud enough that it could catch my voice from the cupholder.
Very nice. Very useful.
> On other news, 80% of young people aged 13 to 17 years old from the same 13 EU Member States floked to tiktok, before that to instagram and youtube and before that to facebook

This group isn't static; people who were 13-17 years old when Facebook became popular are not the same ones who are 13-17 years old and using TikTok today. I'm not saying that hurts your argument, but it feels a little misleading to phrase it in a way that sounds like the group of people who flocked to Facebook back in the day are the same ones flocking to TikTok now. The teens who flocked to Facebook when it was new and popular with teens are now in their 20s and 30s; some of them might even be in government by now.
This almost works until you have to integrate with other people's C++ code and find out they picked a different subset to you.

AFAIK, pension age raise is driven almost entirely by demographic collapse of the developed countries. Specifically there are more people are retiring than entering the workforce. After that happens pension funds start bleeding money and something has to give. Pension age raise is a giant hammer, but the alternatives include raising taxes, making healthcare drastically cheaper, or Machiavellian tactics like banning abortions/contraception 20 years prior...

France already has high taxes and amazing work-life balance. I don't know much about state of medical industry to comment. However, if its not completely terrible, then raising the retirement age seems like the only knob that could be turned.

> In my experience, data center cabling is either a huge mess (random cables just hanging everywhere) or is tied down so much you can't do any repairs/replacements (velcro, tie wraps, etc). There is a fine line between cleanliness and usability.

We have 7 racks that went thru some changes and never in the history (12+ years) needed to replace any broken ones. It just doesn't happen.

What did happen were re-wires when some hardware were replaces but smaller ones were small enough that whether it was nicely bundled "permanently" or not didn't matter much, and bigger ones were "take everything out and recable" job anyway so again, what was in the rack (and there were some spaghettified ones too) also didn't matter.

Yeah routing it properly the first time helps but making it "permanent" by tying it down isn't really a problem, just put another bundle for next 5 servers.
I read this every year or so. So beautifully written. Explores so well this urge to not just be good, but to become a magician of your art.

Marvelous is word I would like to use.
It does support calling into other compilers and toolchains through build scripts and such. Take cc-rs[0] for example: this allows building C and C++ files natively without even calling an executable yourself.

In practice, I'd expect libraries to just call make/cmake/ninja for you, or (like openssl-sys) ask you to install the necessary libraries using your favourite package manager.

Uppers and T, I'm guessing (like so many others).
Are you suggesting Frontend is more enjoyable in general? I think it depends from person to person. As a Backend Dev/SRE, I'm currently learning React and have to admit that it's a very refreshing and rewarding experience, but I'm not sure if I would like that setup in a real job - that would probably mean more "fighting" with UX designers, stakeholders etc. compared to backend job.
You can write Rust macros in Rust too, if you wish, but it's a bit more involved (https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/procedural-macros.html). I realise this isn't the same as constexpr, but I'd argue it's nicer.

Rust also has const generics (but they are still a bit shabby in places last time I used them).

I for one never liked the constexpr semantic and syntax. Always felt like a... Little pebble in my shoe. Didn't quite annoy me enough not to use it since it was useful, but it was never a comfortable experience.
One random thing that bugs me about Rust's syntax is array initialization. In Go I can initialize an array (or strictly speaking a slice) of structs like this:

var foo []my_struct = {{"foo", 1, "bar"}, {"foo", 1, "bar}, ...}

This is often useful in tests (where each struct value represents a test case). Rust doesn't seem to offer any similarly compact initialization syntax for arrays or Vecs. You have to write some abomination like this:

let foo = [MyStruct{a: "foo", b: 1, c: "amp"}, MyStruct{a: "bar", b: 1, c: "fff"}, MyStruct{a: "amp", b: 1, c: "aaa"} ];

Sure, it's more explicit. But even if I add a type annotation to 'foo' specifying the array type, I still have to repeat MyStruct for every member.

I get that Zig is better than unsafe Rust. But what about the general use? Is Zig simplicity and speed of writing code worth the trade-off in safety?
None of those facts do that, as Walmart offers everything you listed.

I just happen to live in AR and know a number of people who work on the relevant teams that do each of these things at Walmart, and given Walmart.com's growth in the last year, Amazon is far from the only company able to provide these services profitably.

>Between the wavelengths 180 and 400 nm, UV light produces photochemical reactions that dissociate free chlorine to form hydrochloric acid. The peak wavelengths for dissociation of free chlorine range from 180 to 200 nm, while the peak wavelengths for dissociation of chloramines (mono-, di- and tri-chloramine) range from 245 to 365 nm. Figure 1 shows the UV output of a high intensity Hanovia medium pressure UV lamp. Up to 5 ppm of chloramines can be successfully destroyed in a single pass through a UV reactor, and up to 15 ppm of free chlorine can be removed.

Well, yes, you can.

There are more books, movies, video games, music, entertainment in general than I could ever consume in a lifetime. And I don't just mean the sum total, including the all the crap; I mean, stuff I would like, even love.

While this doesn't stop me from picking up new stuff occasionally, I have used this fact to crowbar myself off the content treadmill. Why look forward to the movie coming out in six months when my movie backlog is already as tall as I am? Why play these addiction-based mobile games when I've got enough mobile games that don't do that?

Granted, in the case of mobile games, one is really reduced to filtering through the pile to find one that doesn't work this way, but on a moment-by-moment basis, you don't need a thousand good choices... you just need the one. My phone isn't loaded down with games, but the Slay the Spire that is on it, has zero microtransactions, and basically has the same gacha mechanics embedded into it even if you need that sort of thing, is pretty sufficient for most times I've been reaching for my phone lately.

There is a local arcade I've been to a few times, but it's a price to buy in and everything inside is free play after that, so you don't have to worry about the arcade mechanics draining your wallet either.
