From my experience its not the language that is the issue, its usually people with little to no experience in the language parroting what they have heard online.

Whenever anyone that gives it a serious try to build something and does not become a convert that touts its greatness as the one and true go...language they are usually given the no true scotsman treatment or a variation of the emperor's new clothes.
They aren't forced...but they make choices to do so. Why go to a community college for cheaper when you can get a big loan to go to a really expensive school that you can't afford. Luckily with the internet you can study a lot of things for free...no need to pay some overpriced college anymore.

Also, does everyone get to go to university in Germany or are there restrictions on who gets to go? In the US you basically just have to have a HS diploma and money to go...

Worked just fine for Orbital/ATK Pegasus.
Most of the planet will be on the move. So "...die off and the more wealthy countries will “just” adapt and move on" is not going to happen.
They attempted to abuse/reuse a in-house technology called VAIL. There were not just some compatibility issues; but battery life and performance were just bad.
Sure, and how do you plan to do that globally, all at once, in a fair manner, and with everyone (regulators and telcos) on the same page?

If you think no one has proposed this or tried this before, you'd be incorrect. :-)

Don't get me wrong, you're right that would work, but getting it to work is near impossible.

Don't forget that every telco would lobby against this, and they are some of the most well-connected enterprises around.

It's happening all over SF and several other major cities, but SF particularly. And it seems like nobody is interested in doing anything to stop it. It's truly ridiculous and it represents a complete breakdown of social mores.
"Socialism for the 1%" isn't socialism. It's just kleptocracy.

Marx didn't just predict that capitalism would intermittently collapse. Even standard Keynesian theory predicts that.

Marx predicted that in industrialized countries, wealth inequality would reinforce itself so that it became absolute. Since they own the "means of production" that everybody else requires to work, they keep all of the profits. Eventually, the workers would become tired of subsistence wages, and revolt. They would seize those "means of production" together and share the profits more equally.

That "eventually" makes the theory unfalsifiable, but still not entirely useless. We've taken a lot of pains to avoid the fate Marx predicted: social security, medicare, unemployment insurance, WIC, etc. Marx predicts that those won't suffice, and we can't say if that's true or not, but there have been profound positive effects already.

If Marx is right in the long term than all of that is just delaying the inevitable. That's debatable.
I didn't say anything about the costs of the materials or anything like that regarding the Peloton and I surely didn't say anything about lawnmowers. $17/month is a steal but that is an outlier and likely doesn't have the same benefits to a person buying the Peloton would be looking for. Does your gym have on demand programs or live classes you can join and compete with friends and others? Probably not.

Pelotons now are about $1500 and the membership is $50 a month. After a calendar year, that's $2100 total spent. At the spin studio here (in a relatively LCOL area), the classes are $22 each with their best deal being unlimited rides at $195/month for a six month contract. Two of those contracts is $2,340 in a calendar year. After the first year, it's more cost effective to have a Peloton and the membership

Value is in the eye of the consumer for sure. It's true that all of this likely overpriced but that's the market
Got it. I guess I'm slow today.
Steelman: the irresponsible hiring sprees that many companies went on could be considered rather unethical considering all of them have the foreknowledge that the corona-era growth was temporary.

> People are stupid and the stuff they like is stupid

Absolutely not.

People are not stupid just because they don't value the things you think they should.

People love beautiful objects. People love art. People love to be entertained. All of these things have immense value. People love color! There is a ton of value in bringing more color to the world and engaging people senses and emotions in new ways. So when HN-types deride Apple for releasing fun new colors, I find it telling and amusing; the HN-types simply don't understand people while Apple understands people more deeply than any other computer company.

And no, not everyone wants to sit and watch information dense documentaries about complex world problems every day after work. Sometimes people just want to shut off their brain, relax and watch stupid content that encourages that state of mind. That content is serving a practical purpose. But I'm sure you'd deride it as trash and rotting people's brains while totally missing the point about why people gravitate towards it.

Do some people take things to the extreme? Of course. Are mobile game mechanics often problematic? Of course. The world is a messy place.
It's very cool, and uses the same principles as lots of other neurorehab electrical devices out there. I used an FES ('Functional Electrical Stimulation') device for a while that has a little accelerometer in it to figure out when I intended to take a step, and then stimulate (via conductive pads placed atop the skin) the correct muscles in the lower leg to lift the ankle up (dorsiflexion). Over time, when the brain correlates X input with Y result, even if Y is very very weak, bruised nerves can recover (in the case of recent brain/spinal injuries) and new nerves can grow. I was advised to have the device on its 'training' setting (where it would periodically activate a 'step') even when lounging on the sofa. Hebb said: "What fires together, wires together"...

My suspicion (tho I'd love to be educated on this) is that the reference patient did not have a truly 'complete' spinal cord injury, but rather one where there were at least some nervecells remaining/bruised. If there was a complete section of nerve wiring missing, I don't see how re-growth could occur (but perhaps there's some stem-cell wizardry that can help with that???). Anyway, it wouldn't matter much; if these devices become small and convenient enough, it's not much burden to wear them forever.

I don't remember the first and last but the middle two is vaguely familiar, reminded me of XCOPY.

I've started changes in my diet with an "acid reflux detox" for a month, which meant eating a very limited group of foods that most definitiely shouldn't cause acid reflux and drinking pretty much only water, after that I've started slowly introducing stuff that potentially could cause acid reflux and observing how I feel, in my case I get acid reflux almost immediately after eating something that I shouldn't, so it's quite easy to eliminate.
Bullshit. Did you even read the link I posted above? The AMA has been lobbying for increasing residency positions for years.
The bigger play is maybe data lakes. Upwards of 80% of that data is unstructured. And, it likely can’t move off prem.

I figured out how to FCC-unlock my Lenovo-branded 4G modem to get it working under Linux based on a Lenovo snap with binaries to unlock another model from the same manufacturer, and then I was stupid and generous enough to tell the ModemManager devs and the rest of the world about it[1], but thanks to the devs and Lenovo's Mark Pearson it all ended up benefitting the world.

I didn't really know how to reverse engineer C, or even write C, but I was frustrated enough to stick to the task, and lucky enough to have at least some symbols still in the binary.

Ghidra is a nice tool, but kind of horrible to learn in a hurry, still easier than r2 if you have no idea what you're doing.

> What are those PCs (including laptops) being replaced with?

> Do you not value the increased memory safety?

Sure, but the way that rust does it comes with a heavy cost, including slow compile times and confusing lifetime semantics (and, in my subjective opinion, poor syntax). There are other techniques to achieve memory safety that are simpler and more ergonomic (to me at least) than borrow checking. Vale, for example, has some interesting ideas in this space.

One of the main reasons that people complain about rust is because it has an extremely loud group of evangelists who often shame other people for taking a different approach and essentially refuse to acknowledge that others have a point about its weaknesses. It is always off-putting when a community goes around telling everyone else that they are doing it wrong, particularly when they are ignoring the very real flaws in their own way of doing things.
The best part is both the malicious intent and the utter stupidity and fecklessness options mean we probably shouldn't be paying these chucklefucks millions a year to cargo cult manage. The ownership class hasn't had to show performance for their payment in decades.
I was a software engineer for just long enough to realize that it was killing my soul and so I scammed my way into being an engineer in aerospace.

Protip: if you do some solidworks tutorials on your off-time to get some experience with it and have basic electronics knowledge from a lifetime of dicking around with amateur radio and electronics kits, managers are willing to overlook a LOT.

Before I sat in a nightmarish hellscape of an open office staring at IntelliJ all day between Agile cultist gatherings.

Now I have an office and a typical week has me working with hardware prototypes, building test apparatus, writing a little code but just a little, working with MechEs, developers, EEs, and piling schematic printouts up on my desk into precarious stacks like I'm a stereotype of a wizard hoarding esoteric knowledge or something.

4-5 times a year I go out to remote test ranges two weeks at a time to do a little R&D in the field which involves crawling around inside test aircraft to wire up instrumentation and flying around in circles for hours on end. For space stuff we have launch parties.

Also, my workspace is an office with windows and a door that closes and seating and a whiteboard for ad-hoc meetings and I have not had to wear my noise-cancelling headphones just to remain sane as everyone around me slurps their soup and has conversations on the phone in years!

If I had continued on my previous career path, today would see me trying to figure out how to get AI to get you to watch an ad about dickpills or something so that my employer could stripmine your personal data and now I build cool stuff that flies in the air and in space.

There are options, though I'm not sure about the UK, for well-compensated tech work that isn't just sitting staring at a screen for 8 hours a day.
> Conveyor replaces App Installer with its own installer that drives MSIX via the API because App Installer is too buggy to rely on. What's the plan for fixing that?

Have you considered making this installer open-source, and then asking Microsoft to co-develop it and ship releases of it as a replacement for App Installer?
I’m not disagreeing with you, just adding to your argument so everyone is clear just how close the two events were.
My home wifi SSID is Marsnet, and my machines are all named after Martian surface features. So there's olympus and pavonis, arcadia and xanthe, and so on. I'm typing this on syrtis-major. I'm hoping not to run out of surface features.
If we’re imagining things that would be toxic enough that a substantial chunk of employers would steer clear of you, probably unambiguous hate speech is the biggest one.
Decent Interval was an interesting book, can recommend.

About 1. Yes, that. The headline means that even in our current maybe-huge Schrodinger-crisis the company is still profitable, despite being clearly impacted.
Right, but that's not controversial, is it? If you call into Rust from C, you need to preserve Rust's invariants; Rust can't preserve them for you.
The tiff was over if a mixed use residential/commercial space needed exit signs. The building wanted the tenets to pay, the tenets wanted the building to pay. Remove the CO for those spaces that are not in compliance, but there's no need to hold hostage a space this is fully compliant. The building itself was compliant within the common spaces. If a new commercial occupant moved into a space previously used as residential unit without an exit sign above the only door, the unit needed to have a sign installed. The wiring and mount was already there. It just needed the sign. This was just being handled poorly and in a petty manner.
It reminds me how this shows the true capabilities of management. You see, if management and economists could do what they claim to do, predict changes in the market and adapt to them.

Well then the 24% and 75% numbers would be the same number. Why? They would have seen it coming, and responded and adapted the firm, before it did this kind of damage.

I've never once seen managers actually succesfully to do this, or even close. I've seen them keeping up hiring and scaling companies right into oblivion though.
Have you heard of the No Fly list, with completely innocent people being flagged and finding it out to be almost impossible to get out of that database? Of people being denied entry to the US because CBP thinks they might be sex workers? About the prosecution of (suspected) sex workers in the US in general? About how marijuana was banned to target hippies and anti-war protesters? About how teachers can lose their license for talking about LGBT topics? About widespread dragnet subpoena abuse using Google Maps as data provider?
Of course not, don't be silly:

1. Saying a person founded a group is not an attack, insulting them is.

2. The relationship between a vaccine stance and an environmental stance is weak, if existent at all. The relationship of a political advocacy group and a media outlet is pretty strong - that is "i have something to say and the tools to say it loudly and widely" is a common pattern among those with the means (religions, wealthy folks, political fringe groups, etc). It's not ad-hominem to say "this new MLM Bernie Madoff is promoting is very similar to the ponzi scheme he was previously convicted of" either.

3. It's not ad-hominem to declare that a persons actions are consistent with their stated goals - it's not an attack, nor is it an attempt at discrediting (or supporting) their position. It is ad-hominem to say "unrelated opinions about vaccines discredit this environmental opinion".
In the past this happened over timescales that allowed nature to adapt. We're now doing it many times faster, and at a time when nature is already greatly diminished due to human resource extraction.

We're just desertificating vast regions of the planet, not turning them into "nice tropics".
I they are only staring at lagging indicators, then it seems they would likely overshoot on keeping interest rates too high for too long.

I am surprised they have not come up with better models given the technology and data available.
If you want to do windows desktop development, just find the oldest technique that still works and use that. I think you can probably still find pre-.net visual studio out there and use it, and it'll work. You'll miss out on some stuff, but oh well? If you get to the point where you have thousands of people hounding you about high dpi support, you've made it.
Don't fall for it: it's a marketing move, and no short-haul flights are actually banned.

The law says that whenever there is a train alternative in the same city, and there are enough trains to spend 8 daylight hours and, come back, the plane must cede its place to the train.

Let's take Paris-Bordeaux as an example. Because Paris has two airports (Orly and Roissy, beth not in Paris like everywhere in the world), alternatives in train are not analyzed from Paris but from the train stations at those airports, which absolutely no one uses as departure or arrival, like everywhere in the world.

So the law now sees that Roissy->Bordeaux takes 3h44, which is higher than 2h30, so is still allowed... Even though the actual leg _everyone_ aoes is actually Paris Montparnasse -> Bordeaux, which _is_ less than 2h30. So the planes leaving from Orly are banned (which they already where, thanks to covid) but all planes from Roissy to Bordeaux, ie all the planes, are still allowed.
Maybe people have a hard time with the “deep state” because every claim is so unfalsifiable. It’s the new “wake up sheeple”.

Presumably 1000s of executive appointments and senior civil servants across generations of administrations all collectively conspire on odd Tuesdays and think exactly alike like all complex organizations do.

Reductionism provides all truth, the world is black and white.

The problem I have with this article is it's pointing at a universal problem (FFI safety) and narrowing that to a rust problem.

Yes, FFI is dangerous, that's true regardless of language (including C). FFI is inherently platform, language, and even compiler specific. It's super tricky to get right.
Exactly. No one is saying "rewrite it in Rust because it already works". They typically say it because the thing in question is a bug farm, or it's really difficult to maintain.

I looked for the author's (whoever they are) proposed solution and it's this:

"This is because many of the FFI bugs surveyed are fundamentally cross-language issues. Instead, we propose that both C and Rust must conform to a shared,
formally-based domain-specific language, which provides a safe-by-construction abstraction over the FFI boundary."

Such a thing is a "new thing", and isn't going to retroactively apply to the legacy C code written before this new thing... so how does that help?

(Full disclosure: I'm a professional programmer who has written in C, C++, C# for many years, and now I choose to write new things in Rust.)
That's a great deal for sure and the only value it seems the Peloton would give you would be that you're able to do it from home vs having to go to the gym. That is quite a premium to pay for that luxury
If Microsoft wants to offer to buy the company they can email me about it, otherwise, no. It's a small firm without venture funding so we can't just open source our product.
Those do sound like things we should discourage. We didn't protest and disrupt police "sweeps" to just let business owners go and do it.
Capital always gets the benefit of the doubt from the law, if they're worried about being charged with something, they're doing something wrong.
I suspect that if you're defining "closest neighbor" using anything other than a delta-v budget, you are probably doing it wrong.
He did mention towards the end of the interview that he made some money. Doesn't specify how much though.
Yep, for example: it'll be better for a lot of agriculture - unexpected indeed
Cops will always complain about constraints on their policing and investigations, but those constraints are there in order to protect people's rights in the eyes of the law. I can't say for certain every single rule or law constraining cops are good or helpful to that goal, but based on my experiences with humans in the past, I don't trust very powerful authority figures that say they just need a little bit more power to do their jobs effectively. I think that quickly turns into corruption.
But being able to fish in the ocean of JS devs for embedded is the dream of every manager.
That was my expectation too, but recent experience at the tail end of COVID (~5 months ago), this was absolutely not the case-- I assume to stop people from congregating during the pandemic.

There are always trashcans in the convenience stores though, especially near the microwaves and coffee machines.
communism, because when everyone's basic needs are guaranteed they have the mental/physical bandwidth to be innovators, and without commodity fetishism, scientific advancements can be made for the sake of responding to human needs, rather than facilitating the creation of products
If a foreign worker could do what most of us do, they would already have your job, because they are infinitely cheaper.

30 years after first trying to replace all of us, they have still been unable to do so because it just doesn't work that well, even with a hybrid WHF company.
This certainly jives with my experience. When I have a brief image in a dream of a plausible, everyday thing, I sometimes have difficulty figuring out whether it's a real memory. Recently I dreamed about being in the living room while my partner was taking down the drapes to change them. The next day I was briefly confused why they were still hanging there, until I realized how undefined the memory was - no when, no before or after, just a flash -- ah, I must have dreamed it.

> Dirt under your nails work.

I feel like this is important, at least for me, to maintain a balance. I have a small bit of land. I'm often building with wood or metal. I'm lucky enough to have a shop/outbuilding where I can do those things like machine, weld, paint, cut, etc.

I grew up in a small town (less than 3500 people) and I was a pretty fanatical gear head. I thought, at around 10, I had my mind made up and I was going to be a mechanical engineer. It was a way to combine two things I loved: computers and machines. But then I stumbled across a new undergrad program at one of our state universities focusing on networking, programming and *nix OSes and fell down that rabbit hole. On one hand I'm glad I did, on the other hand I'm still tinkering with things like Fusion 360 and vCarve. Maybe it's that it's not my professional life but building real things has a different reward. I've built, extended and upgraded countless corporate networks and have mostly specialized in network security over the years. But it's really good to physically build or fix something. I've got dirt and grease under my nails often.
I answered in a parallel comment.

Or think that it will just solve itself.
I have always been interested now that I've bought and renovated my home into some nice experiments with IoT devices or building my own stuff.

What would be an interesting starting point? I honestly don't even know what I want to build to be fair but always been interested in what the possibilities could've been with this kind of pico boards up to the raspberry (which is in a totally different range).
Yes and no, IIRC the second busiest airport in France is actually Nice (NCE) on the French Riviera.

My limited experience says it's mostly about lengths of filenames, non alphabetic characters in filenames, and nested directories. Try flat directory structure and maybe random filenames of 6-8 characters. Simply one more obfuscation step before feeding it into a car system. If lucky, the system might read correctly the ID3 tags.
