As seawater is forced out, the floodgates rise into nearly vertical positions. The resulting barrier holds back the Adriatic until the tide retreats.*

This sounded impressive to me, like a micro version of some disaster science fiction, in which massive engineering effort is thrown at defending against some planetary-scale existential threat.

This looks to me like a shitty situation, handled badly, but... having read this thread backwards, starting with the HN comments, then JeanHeyd Meneide's own blog post about it, and finally the "Why I Left Rust" post being discussed here... I mean, shit happens? It's easy to fuck up when planning a big conference and sometimes you end up wasting the time of presenters, or (arguably worse) the audience, or (maybe the worst) sending the world the opposite of the message you intended, or some combination of those.

Or sometimes, yes, you end up exposing your organization as the cabal of racist authoritarian illegitimate corporate-sellout puppetmasters that it actually is.

But I mean... I don't see strong evidence of the latter, unless there is more to the backstory than I gleaned from the process above, which is:

1. No non-white person has ever given a keynote at RustConf (according to the linked "Why I Left Rust" post)

2. This one was going to be that.

3. But then the conference organizers canceled it, in a ham-fisted way.

4. But also, the topic was controversial, in the sense that at least some stakeholders may have felt "this kind of compile time reflection will definitely not be added to Rust in the foreseeable future"

So... it is absolutely understandable that the Meneide was highly irritated by the way it was handled, and ended up declining to present at all.

But did the Rust organization "disgrace" this expert in the field? Did Rust act as a "cruel, heartless entity"?

I will concede the late rejection (of the talk as a "keynote") was "unprofessional", but... was it "vindictive"? That implies the organization wanted revenge for something... what?

It's not clear to me after clicking and reading for almost an hour. But it seems to be consistent with the pattern of the various entities around Rust stepping on their own dicks. I'm reminded of the Rust Foundation taking out full-page newspaper ads like "IMPLEMENTING A CRYPTO PONZI SCHEME? DO IT FASTER IN RUST!" and then actual Rust core team people were like ":fuck-you-emoji: :barf-emoji:".

I would be perhaps relieved that they are apparently making a significant effort at reforming their governance (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3392) were it not for the fact that one of the authors of that PR is the author of the post we're discussing here, who just quit the Rust project entirely. :grimace-of-regret-emjoi:
I'd encourage you to try plain old text classification on ngrams. An ngram approach will pick up lemmas fine, although Spacy will do lemmatization if you prefer.

But I did a lot of work on this type of thing and the only time I found this sentence analysis approach was useful as classifier features was in a legal context where there were variants of very specific language we wanted to find.

There it worked because we could write rules on the features without relying on training data.

Tf-idf on ngrams using a rolling window would certainly work to detect the beheading variants you gave as examples.

Again: try without the parsing features. There's a good reason they are rarely used in classifiers: they are too unreliable to improve performance over simple approaches.

I don't entirely agree. When I do want colour (generally because I've taken the time to configure the program suitably for it), then I usually still want the colour when I pipe its output through a pager. `diff` is the canonical example.

Here too the National Emergency Supply Agency wants to combat disinformation, although they justifiably express a concern that citizens will most likely just perceive the planned institution as a "propaganda ministry". They also openly admit that the plan is to increase the civil society's "resilience" and increase its support for defense forces. Again, they too do not understand that the "threats" are elsewhere.
"Rust acted as a cruel, heartless entity that did not care about JeanHeyd and treated him as disposable. "

"But it was just a downgrade. I shake my head at people that say things like this. Clearly, they are not used to treating people - let alone experts in the field - with respect. "

It was actually just a downgrade - and using terms like 'cruel' lacks proportionality.

It's a bit petty, especially for these kinds of public grievances over very personal, pedantic kinds of things.

Obviously what Rust did was 'not good' - these things happen all the time - and they need perspective and context.

All this huff and puff from people who take themselves a bit too seriously, maybe to the point of arrogance - we're professionals not artists, and that means 'making sausage as best we can'. It's all sausage, nothing is perfect, toes get stepped on - roll with it - that is the sign of maturity and confidence. If there is a systemic issue take that up.

Paradoxically it's these kinds of public slap fights over that make me wary of being engaged with a community, it's too much Kardashian.
It illustrates the weakness of this model of governance, with no clear leader. Politics can tear a project apart, and even ill-intentioned actors that do not want the project to do well can infiltrate and cause divisions. When a leader/founder is the BDFL, they usually want the project to keep flourishing according to their original (or evolving) vision.

Not true. Indeed, very much the other way around. All software that uses the terminfo or termcap databases looks at the TERM variable and gets the TERM=dumb effect from that for free. That's every shell script that uses tput to change colours, and every program that calls the low level tgetent()/tigetstr() (or the equivalents in unibilium or termdb) or that uses curses/ncurses.

This is a wide range of softwares from the %F and %B sequences in the Z shell's prompt through Midnight Commander to the clang++ compiler.

Not always. It depends on the performance characteristics of the test, i.e. the sensitivity and specificity. Tests with high sensitivity and low specificity often reveal indeterminate results that, in an effort to gain more certainty, expose the patient to significant procedural risk.

From Rust team discussion at Reddit, it's not that anyone sprints away, the answer is that no one has the time to balance volunteering for Rust, working on code, reviewing, doing technical review, and then on top of that moderation and doing diplomatic stuff.

Essentially no-one wants to do diplomatic stuff, so it falls to only person that likes doing that stuff (which isn't a good thing). Which can leads to episodes like this.
Come on, Rust committee. Let's grow up here, shall we

Rust may, or may not, be the next best thing. However, the zealotry expressed by some rust pundits, is very off putting to me. One thing I have learned, is that zealotry is where moral compromise enters, it is where "for their own good" and "the ends justify the means" starts, followed by concepts such as "we need to force people to understand".

Some rust pundits seem to be such zealots, injecting rust commentary into everything. Almost religious.

Thus, I am not surprised by this. To speak ill of the holy relic, to utter dissent, drives zealots to mad excess!
No, I am not presenting this as a careful, considered decision. I was just responding why this incident could possibly also reflect on technical matters (not saying that it actually does). I have no clue what went on exactly. But clearly leadership somehow failed in this incident. Looking forward to hear more about how exactly this has happened.
I'm trying now to do corporate D&D sessions, the recent D&D open gaming license had me very concerned due to its.. open endedness.

That's not quite right.

As I understand it, private clinics themselves are fine: the very next sentence of your article explains that the doctor in question runs his own private clinic.
Instead, the issue is how you pay for services rendered by those clinics since BC's Medicare Protection Act restricts insurance policies that would cover them.

It’s easier to understand if you look at an analysis of a much older, less dense, die. Ken Shiriff is a superb source of these

There are some visual clues. First, the chip pins are labeled in the spec so you can guess they’ll be close to relevant units, and also try to trace their connections throughout the die.

Second, units like memory have an obvious regular structure because they are made from many identical micro-units

Third, if you see, for example, 16 identical adjacent units you could guess this is something that could be dealing with data 16 bits at a time. That narrows it down

There are numerous clues like those.

You could also use tricks like using a thermal camera. What part gets hot when you do certain operations?

one official noted that the FBI team charged with monitoring groups due to assemble at the Capitol had just signed on with ZeroFox days earlier.

So the only evidence he has is that the FBI signed up for ZeroFox in the days leading up to Jan 6th?

The official said that the agency was still learning how to use the software

Hmm..

The title makes it seem like FBI hired these companies to infiltrate these groups...instead of what actually happened: These companies sold FBI the data they already had.

The book was heavily pushed on tiktok because it hit the platforms target demo perfectly with the angsty young characters set in a video game backdrop that the average tiktok age group could understand.

Personally I was hoping it would have been more like the backstory episode of the Mythic Quest TV show and was disappointed. It was an average story at best with characters that never really matured, but that doesn't matter because I'm not the target audience. The target will connect with the characters and come away thinking it was a fantastic story and will gobble up any movie/tv show that comes out of it. Good job, author and marketing.
The Rust community (in aggregate; I'd hope I wouldn't need to state the obvious that it doesn't apply to all individuals, but...Rust community) fosters this sort of melodrama.

There is a core of extremely zealous "Rust wins all the things" types who don't stop at advocating for a language on its technical merits: they have to belittle and berate users of other languages because their choice (or not: employment is what it is) isn't "correct." The Rust community has (a well deserved, in my opinion) reputation.

The Stoic notion of rationality is perhaps a bit counterintuitive. As Stoics see it, everything in our minds is "rational" as-is, including our deepest emotions. The relevant issue when deciding whether to assent or not to some emotion and its development into a passion is whether it comports with our nature and with virtue. Of course, the modern notion of rationality in its abstract logical sense has zilch to do with this - Stoics are nowhere close to aspiring Vulcans! (This is most easily contrasted with Plato's account, in which the adult mind does have non-rational parts - the "appetite", which is inherently in need of control and restraint, and the "spirit" which like the appetite is not per se rational but it is aligned with reason and against the appetite.)
It's an interesting concept, although I would argue that Monopoly is not the best choice of a game for this. Outside of 'do I buy this property', auction bidding, should I mortgage this property, or 'when/where do I buy a house', there's no decisions to be made in the game. And about half the turns (especially mid-late game) are just 'roll the dice, move, land on someone else's property, give them the money I owe'. I understand that Monopoly is super popular, but there's probably a game that would fit your story better.

And this is already a computer game version you're talking about. Is there a reason why you want it to be a board game adaptation instead of a video game?

Also there's a chance if you focus too much on one popular and existing and in-print game it might not fall under fair use and you could possibly get a cease and desist from Hasbro.

One of the reasons why you see more shows around chess and not Monopoly, chess is in the public domain and no one is going to get sued over using it.

As for learning about ML, I'd suggest taking an online course or watching some Youtube videos so you understand some details about it. The videos could inspire some ideas for plot points in the story as well.

There's tons of videos/books/articles on writing also, but really for that I'd just dive in and get started, post some of it somewhere, get some feedback, and do some editing/rewriting. Maybe even get some recommendations from ChatGPT or NovelAI or something.

If you're willing to critique other people's work, there's a really good website to get feedback called Critique Circle that has a quid pro quo model (you critique other people's works, get some credits, then spend them to solicit critiques for your own work). Worth checking out. Reading your story out loud is also a good trick for making sure the story sounds smooth and flows well.

Good luck!
I wonder how much we add to climate change when we use this anti-climate-change system.
The thing is, Rust is being marketed as end-all, be-all of memory safety and overall programming, Microsoft, Linux kernel, and other giants are picking it up and it’s a badge of honor.

And then we have all that serious business clash with the leadership behaving as if they are power-intoxicated menchildren. Gosh.

My gosh no, this toxic - it is not up to people to have contextualise or defend their behaviour given others' sensitivities.

It is fundamentally bigoted to assume racism, and fundamentally up to people to provide at least some evidence or context if they suspect there is.

The commentor is not going on the offensive, rather the defensive, as someone else brought the issue up.

"makes you look (see, optics again) either incredibly naïve or covering for some pretty bad behaviour."

You have arbitrarily (and repulsively) accused a commenter of 'covering for some crime' - typical of the social justice fanaticism that otherwise empathic people have come to loathe - you may want to contemplate why you might say such a thing.

This isn't an issue of race, it's not particularly part of the dialogue, it's an issue of perceived slight and professional victimhood. Not everything is hyper intersectional.
The comment above yours gives a real explanation, where OP posits a question whether Israelis "hate" freedom of expression. This isn't a good question or observation and is something I'd expect from a 9th grader. Of course israeli's don't hate freedom of expression. Who would answer "yes" to that? OP also suggests an answer with the question OP posits-an unsavory answer given the audience of HackerNews nonethless. OPs comment was not researched, obviously negatively biased, and doesn't even have a reasonable suggestive answer.
Hey ROTMetro, nothing of the kind. I dunno, you sound kind of hostile about it.

All it is that I read up on it last year. I've forgotten most of the details -- I'm not really interested in geopolitics and war, and I'm very interested in accessibility, botany, programming, science fiction and lots of other things, so the boring stuff gets crowded out pretty easily.

I'm sure it's not hard to find the same or similar sources that relate the geopolitical context of the Ukraine Invasion.
