Wish we had more role models these days who were willing to disagree with decisions and work to fix them rather than loudly resign or point fingers. Feels like there is a lot of pressure these days that if you are part of a "bad" system then _you_ are bad, even if you are trying to improve it from the inside. So it's understandable people quit instead of taking on the burden of having to prove their "goodness", it's just a shame our media/algorithms lazily spread outrage rather than spotlight diligence and compromise.
To be clear, you do not believe that the Rust Leadership should make it clear how they came to this decision such that any speculation of other reasons can be put to bed?

The fact that it’s open to speculation is the exact reason they need to address it. Just ignoring it at this point doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?
If there's one thing I've learned from most of this it's that paying attention to the people in charge is probably not worth the effort. They come and go, lots of drama, and insiders are reporting the ones who are there probably shouldn't be.
Impacts of contract tests in our microservice architecture – Technology
Lua's presence is honestly hugely because it is so easy to embed in other programs. If you needed some scripting capabilities, Lua was the way. Whether it's a webserver (nginx) or editor (vim) or a window manager (awesome), Lua was the easiest & best at hand option to integrate.

There is a huge opportunity, IMO, for more players here. Deno definitely has some good gestures toward a this. Wasm though seems like the likely general heir, and will have many different offerings for how to do that (Deno being one!).

It's a bit odd to describe this as addressing the likes of Yudkowsky when, so far as I can tell, Yudkowsky agrees with you and does not think we have any realistic prospect of figuring out how to make AI systems that are provably safe, at least not before the point at which (on Yudkowsky's model of the world) we are doomed because we're making AI systems that are better than we are at making things go the way they prefer.

Well then all that says is you need better standards for tests.

Just because some tests might have alarmingly high false positive rates doesn’t mean all, or even most do.
Yes. But the gap isn’t nearly as wide as people think it is once you consider the lifestyle you can live in metro Atlanta (where those companies are headquartered) compared to making more on the west coast. Yes I realize I’m arguing both sides.

I didn’t even think about accepting the chance to apply for a role at $BigTech when a recruiter reached out to me that would have been $75K-$100K more than I was making if it meant that I had to move to Seattle.

I did take a permanently remote role that paid $60K-$75K more by doing a slight pivot from pure software development.
I've only seen the wars over when and if to adopt new C and C++ standards in the distant periphery, but it seems like any attempt to encode human interests and needs into systems through code brings about strife. The politics there might be less visible since it happens on mailing lists and old forums no one's ever heard of, but the only difference is visibility.

New languages will inevitably adopt the means of communication they grew up in. That's blogs and gists and tweets.

I think you’re confusing computational irreducibility and the halting problem.
A statement is just a subprogram. Whether it can be decidable depends on whether a single program can be undecidable (and I can't see how that could be possible, undecidability is property of the problem - decision procedure on set of programs)
> Part of me is very disappointed at ThePrimeagen, the Twitch streamer / YouTuber with whom I used to be friendly, for milking those controversies for every view and sub possible.

Nah. Bureaucracies don't even try to solve these issues if there isn't a public backlash.

In 2020, the Presidential election voter turnout was the highest it's been in three decades, at just over 60%. But that's still 40% of eligible voters that didn't "lose" their voice in government, like losing their car keys. 80 million people decided to give up their voice.

In other countries, people really do lose their voice in government. Plenty of countries are under the jack-boot of totalitarian regimes that will torture and execute whoever steps out of line. We live in a country that is so far away from that, that all we have to do to change our government is mail in a form. And we still can't be bothered to do that. So any lack of government control is completely our own fault.

The government's still gonna do whatever it wants to do. But we also have the power to bring it to heel. The thing is, you have to actually do something with that power.
Would you not expect companies which actually want to make to cores to have an advantage?

And the companies that don’t want to make it their core business but can afford enough resources (e.g. Google, Apple, Amazon) would just use them to leverage their core products.

For any one likes science history non-fiction, check out Richard Rhodes, The Making of the Atomic Bomb. From idea to aftermath of use. Very interesting work written very compelling style.
Its a CV brag. It means you're a big shot if you're giving the keynote at a top conference. Most people never do that so it's a big deal.

No, I don't document and write about my experiments. I've shared them with a tardigrade biologist, but we didn't decide to continue. Also, I'm not a student, I'm a professional computer guy with a hobby and a budget. That said, smart undergrads coudl definitely do this.

Nothing I'm doing is remarkable or complicated, and compared to a research microscope, what I've done is very trivial. It's just a 10X scope with a grbl-controlled XYZ stage and an object detector that finds the center of a tardigrade in realtime, and sends commands to center the tardigrade. Now my interesting is in high speed scanning- instead of taking photos, you literally take a video while actively moving the head around and then stitching it all together. Not stopping to take pictures increases the rate of acquistion 10X or more.

The reality is that I could have done everything I wanted to do by spending about $10K for a kit from Thorlabs, but I was interested in learning more about building precision stages from inexpensive components, so that if/when I ever do get to play with the expensive toys, I know why they are better, anbd why they cost so much money.

The interesting area now is SPIM see https://openspim.org/Step_by_step_assembly which is definitely something a well-funded hobbyist could do.

You have no evidence that it has “only been used” that way. There is NO technical reason it is limited to CP. It can just as easily find tank man or pics of feds murdering children at Waco.
Does anyone have a impartial summary about what this is about? I always hate when I'm late to drama and I have no idea what anyone is talking about.
I’ve been calling cloud “mainframe 2.0” since the 2000s. There are certain scale, convenience, and security benefits to mainframes but they come at the price of privacy, autonomy, latency, and sometimes cost depending on your exact utilization pattern.

Personally I find it very dystopian but I’m a child of the PC and early Internet era and the idea of personal computing always seemed magical.

On cost it’s like other capital assets: if you use it heavily and evenly it makes more sense to buy, but if you use it rarely or you need “burstable” use it’s better to rent.
I like the author (read through a few of his other series) but it gets a little tiring how often he switches between perspectives. Each perspective is a different plotline and they all tie together in the finale but it feels like a 50-100 page story is being stretched into 300.

Especially since the dialog can be a bit boring imo (each character has some quirk and all their lines / actions tend to be predictable when taking this into account). IIRC, the Children of Time books aren't so bad in this regard (less drama, more reverse-engineering alien tech), but I definitely think the newest book for The Final Architecture kinda suffers from this.

But yeah nonetheless I really enjoy how creative the world building / overall plots are and would definitely recommend his stuff to anyone who likes sci-fi.
Ask HN: What concept opened your mind to a new world?
I recently learned about two things that really opened my mind up to a new way of thinking about things.

1) learning about radio communications (including the Fast Fourier transform) and how all wireless communications use modulated radio waves to send information and

2) taking the Nand2Tetris course and learning about the basic components of a CPU working together to execute lines of code.

Both of these just really made me understand things differently. I’d love to know what other topics (math, computer science, electronics, anything) people found to be eye opening and changed their perspective.
The debate around preserving Venice's lagoon as a body of water linked to the open sea has been ongoing for centuries. A public authority to oversee these issues, the Magistrato alle Acque [1], was established in 1501, and large-scale public works were mandated around the same time (i.e., rerouting rivers to prevent the lagoon from silting up).

The reasons for this have evolved over time. It began to protect waterways that enabled local commerce, and expanded alongside Venice's dominance across the Mediterranean Sea. This led to the identity of a city that celebrated its "Wedding of the Sea" every year [2].

As a modern-day example of this, UNESCO has enlisted `Venice and its Lagoon` in its World Heritage list [3], stating:

```
Criterion (v): In the Mediterranean area, the lagoon of Venice represents an outstanding example of a semi-lacustral habitat which has become vulnerable as a result of irreversible natural and climate changes. In this coherent ecosystem where the muddy shelves (alternately above and below water level) are as important as the islands, pile-dwellings, fishing villages and rice-fields need to be protected no less than the palazzi and churches.
```

In the present day, when Venice is mainly seen as a tourist attraction, it's easy to underestimate this. However, locals still draw a firm line between those who live in the city and the "campagnoli" (people from the countryside).
Any plan to sever this historical link between Venice and the sea would be a tough sell, regardless of its economic or technical feasibility.

Pretty shitty move to single out ThePrimeagen. He has done more for the Rust community in raising awareness of bullshit and also educating people on the technical intricacies of Rust (much akin the Jon Gjengset videos) than a lot of these 'in' folks.

Nissan lost my loyalty with the Leaf over this. They have a maintenance schedule on the 2015 Leaf that has you visiting the dealer for inspection just to maintain the battery warranty. This is just a concession to dealers to give them an opportunity to badger you with unnecessary services.

I bought my Leaf used and paid $350 the first time I took it for battery inspection just to mollify my own anxiety about the unknown condition of fluids in the vehicle. Every damn time I have visited since the service manager walks out with a rag covered in dirty fluid telling me I need to change my reduction gear oil or brake fluid.

I pointed out that they did it previously and cited the maintenance schedule for those fluids. Then asked what the problem was that was causing the rapid degradation of the fluid. They go "talk to the tech" then return and say it was a misunderstanding and I am ready to go.

If ole Musky wasn't such a piece of work, the fact that Tesla doesn't pull this BS would earn my loyalty.
Of course not. It just seems that they might actually be the most transparent segment of this entire system which makes more visible.

Wow, I just integrated Lua into a C++ project for the first time last night.

I think it matters in so far as people who “don’t fit in” to a group often feel excluded from the group, and seeing people like you honored makes you feel more welcome. As a bunch of nerds surely we know what it feels like to be the odd man out. But what if you’re the odd man out in every context except for your family? What if you are the only one like yourself, the only one who when you walk in a room people stop talking and shift uncomfortably? Even in a room full of nerdy outsiders, you’re the outsider outsider. I don’t believe racism entered into the decision. But in tossing aside an opportunity to honor a black engineer for their legitimately earned achievements, you take away a chance to make that uncomfortable black engineer who feels outside the group a part of that group, and that is a shame. It doesn’t have to be the only decision making criteria. But in my life, opening doors to people and making the uncomfortable feel comfortable is important. I at least remember being socially uncomfortable and feeling like no one is like me at many points in my life. I know how that feels, and I know my experience was a shadow of what a black person experiences daily in the US, and in tech in particular where they are essentially unrepresented. Y’all don’t have to care how folks feel around you, but I was raised to love my neighbor, and small gestures to make entire classes of people feel welcome in my field when all evidence bears they’re not, I’ll take it.
These managed development environments are wonderful: consistent experience, secure, compliant, scalable, etc. That is, right up until it goes down. Then the productivity of your entire development team (and thus the output of the six figure salaries they are paid) drops to exactly zero while you bring up the managed development environment again.
OK, complain and do nothing and remain defeated.

> Requiring like, a byte, for state is hardly a complex requirement.

Add in table header and table cell to get to 128 states. You can probably get it above 256 quite easily. But the storage requirement isn't the point - it's that you have a complicated state machine where you can't just say "in-bold", "out-bold" as suggested because you also need "in-bold-whilst-italic", "in-bold-whilst-header", "in-bold-whilst-header-italic", etc. with the associated transitions.

Or you have a state machine for each attribute. But then `\n` can affect multiple of them at the same time and also require unwinding your state over a bunch of characters. You can say "this isn't beyond a competent developer", yes, but it is a long way from trivial to get correct.

The components and wiring on the board might be too fragile for everyday use but potting it with clear/slightly colored epoxy might solve this problem? In that case it might be a good idea to solder the contacts rather than only plugging in - otherwise epoxy could get between the wires and bread board contacts and cause the circuit to fail.

"many peer-reviewed studies, ... put livestock emissions at between 14.5 percent and 19.6 percent of the world’s total"

"... it doesn’t factor in the significant climate benefits we’d get if we freed up some of the land now dedicated to livestock farming and allowed forests to return, unlocking their potential as “carbon sinks” that absorb and sequester greenhouse gases from the air.

Scientists call this the opportunity cost of animal agriculture’s land use. Because animal farming takes up so much land — nearly 40 percent of the planet’s habitable land area — that opportunity cost is massive ...

"One study found that ending meat and dairy production could cancel out emissions from all other industries combined over the next 30 to 50 years."

When did programming, and the choice of implementation, become people's identities? These endless drama sagas just makes everyone look very childish, from the outside. I don't think we would see this in other engineering fields. Embarrassing.

It comes from it attacking Taiwan unprovoked, but there's no need for large U.S. presence for that to already not be attractive as it would be a huge blow for China in the economic realm and even include the Global South. On the other hand, Taiwan declaring independence on U.S. encouragement for example could be spun by China as protecting its stated red lines and acting out despite U.S. presence in the region.

You may not know this, but Russia enjoys some sympathy in the Global South because they see the situation as being at least partly provoked by the U.S. The same could happen over Taiwan, but it doesn't have to if cooler heads prevail.
