So, you're saying a sane system should not run arbitrary code I tell it to run? Which is different from iOS security model how?

(If not, please explain how your hypothetical magic OS resists compromise without limiting instructions it would execute)
Would have been nice if this headline started with "As a person living in a big city, I ditched my car (...)". Now it just feels ignorant towards people living in other areas - as everybody is pointing out in the comments.
Never only look at sample size.

Something can be statistically meaningful with a small sample size if the effect size is large for instance.
Rather successfully apparently. Maybe you’re overestimating the number of would-be contributors from sanctioned countries who aren’t using workarounds?
I've seen similar sample sizes in medical journals, but I wouldn't necessarily call those junk.

From my personal experience, the problem is that people who study psychology are not interested or skilled in statistics. Unskilled professors teaching uninterested students perpetuates the cycle.

The field is slowly improving but still has a long way to go.

I tried to get food at night in Texas without car, a colleague was questioned for walking along the road and the Wendy's personnel slammed all he hatches of the drive through screaming: "There's a camera on you!!!", granted, it's a drive through, but there was no walk through.

On a conference in Galveston TA, someone told me they went to a drive through funeral... I saw drive through pharmacies and drive through ATMs. It's a special place.

Rust Foundation is a US-based organization so it has to follow its declared goals and principles only to the extent that the US laws allow it, you know?
I don’t know. The positive argument for districts is that your representative represents local political needs which isn’t nothing and local needs definitely exist and this is a way of expressing “hey, your federal policies are hurting me locally here”. This does happen I think although it’s unclear how effectively that gets communicated.

A big part of the problem is that gerrymandering is only really effective when the House of Representatives stays fixed in size. That’s actually fixable and would significantly reduce the effect size of gerrymandering (and also reduces lobbying power because you need to corrupt a lot more people which gets extremely more expensive).

One way to do proportional representation which I think works well is to blend it with districts. All districts get a representative but you add floating seats that are filled in proportionally based on overall vote count. That way you both get local representation in a larger system while largely removing the benefits of gerrymandering because the power balance isn’t determined by the map.
No, but we want you to list some of them. You're making the claim; back it up.

The more it's happening, the easier that request should be.

> Guix, being a GNU project, obsessing over nON-fReE

As a long time contributor to Guix I find that the "obsessing" is regularly done by others when talking about GNU. There's enough useful free software out there that needs packaging, and that's what I do. I don't need the extra headache of special snowflake licenses or custom restrictions.

For nonfree software that doesn't have a popular alternative I contribute to guix-science-nonfree. It's barely an inconvenience for users to expressly add another channel to their Guix installation.
There are teams rewriting web apps and APIs in Rust. Maybe they're making a mistake, maybe they're doing great and are happy trading off some developer time and training overhead for what they're getting from the language - I don't know which one is more common but the trend of rewriting in Rust is definitely there and it's accelerating.
> ...but there's still not the required infrastructure to make this a viable option for everyday life outside of a few select metro areas...

There's really no getting around this. Outside of many cities, the push for everything to get bigger (stores, medical providers, etc) has pushed everything to the outskirts of towns where space exists and is cheaper.

I've lived a total of about 10 years in a US city without a car. To the great surprise of friends that asked me about it, I found it liberating, not constraining. The ability to go places and a) be able to stop and explore along the way and b) not have to worry about where to put the car was very freeing. There were infrequent times where I did need a vehicle, but ZipCar or a short term rental solved that issue.
This is what you'll get, if you consider public transport just a residual option for the "failures in life" (© M. Thatcher): not depending on personal transport becomes a privilege of those living in a walkable city in a suitable situation of life. (Consider yourself taxed, otherwise.)

(Disclosure: enjoying this kind of privileges, I ditched my car in the early 2000s, without regret. But I can see that this is only an option for a happy minority, nowadays.)
It's already sort of paternalistic that a malware company gets to say what is and isn't malicious, when there may be shades of gray or matters of opinion involved.

I've been studying residential proxies in particular lately, and the amazing thing is that not all residential proxies are pwned machines in botnets, there are some actual consenting users who say "sure, I'll share my connection with strangers!"

So if you take a normally malicious activity like proxying gray-market Internet traffic, and you add informed consent or even monetary incentives that make it OK with the user, how do you really define malware and unwanted programs?

Now I see comments already that Enigma is bona-fide malware and it's merely masquerading as something good, and Malwarebytes has every right to classify it as malicious. So this court ruling could be bad. But who gets appointed as the arbiter of maliciousness? Remember when popular adblockers started letting through ads for their buddies? Does software do the bidding of its corporation or of the user who installs it?
As someone who works with database engineers, there's also a world of difference between the ones that know what they are doing and the ones that don't.

To be fair, this is true in all fields.

Having participated in Rust for the last 8 years, the community has been great. Very friendly at meetups, always eager to help debug issues or explain things. As an outsider maybe it looks like there's lots of drama but that's not accurate at all. Most everyone I've interacted is very humble.

I always find it ironic that people say that Rust can't handle criticism when it is constantly being criticized... like in literally this exact post that we're all commenting on. That is a happy Rust user criticizing the language lol but yeah sure "many fans" refuse to listen to criticism.

You are only looking at other fields successes and only Psychology's failures. Quick to forget all the false starts and wrong directions in other fields.

Might need to do some history readying. Of course the study of celestial movements eventually became astronomy, who do you think was looking at the stars before astronomy existed. All of history isn't some nice linear line of analytic reasoning. I wonder if HN also has a general bias against history, since it is a non-technical field with a lot of interpretations.

This is probably a longer discussion, but PM0.3 (anything less than 0.3 microns) is quite difficult to measure, especially optically, as light scattering drops off very steeply once your particle sizes are around the wavelength of the light being used. Anything short of an SMPS class instrument that “grows” small particles through condensation so that they appear large enough to be counted, will not see much below 0.3 microns. Also, the total MASS of small particles might be low, but if you look at count, or lung-deposited surface area, we get a different picture. Especially around 0.3um, particulate matter is prone to get deep into the lungs, instead of being caught in the upper airways, and the small size means larger relative surface area, and thus higher reactivity. Even smaller nano particles might not go as deep, but are more likely to enter cells or the bloodstream due to their minuscule size.

Hello there,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently completed the initial phase of development for RoadTripPlanner, an online itinerary maker designed to assist travelers in creating animated trip routes on a map. As a passionate traveler and developer, I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the platform's current state.

While I acknowledge that RoadTripPlanner is far from perfect at this stage, I believe that gathering insights from users like you can provide invaluable input for its improvement. Your experience and suggestions would help me shape the future direction of this project, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

Quite naïve to assume this. Speaking to the most recent round of tech layoffs at my workplace, the higherups said repeatedly it's not based on performance. They didn't elaborate on the methodology at all. We had people who had just been promoted get fired, and we had people who were long-time employees and high performing get fired.
No, it correctly assumes there's an endless stream of people wanting to be moderators so they can wield the power that comes with that.

Whether that be by being a quality mod or by abusing it to silence people they disagree with is irrelevant.

The problem is adding namespaces on at this point seems very hard.
There are like tens if not hundreds different caulk compunds, enough of which don't smell. I don't understand why there would be more mess than with glue. I'll give you the drying time though, on the other hand most caulk types remain elastic, glue not as much, might matter with regards vibrations. And caulk is easier to apply properly and aestethically as you can use your fingers. tldr; it's fine you're defending glue, but it's not true thare is no advantage at all. In fact looking at these pictures I'd probably go for the combination, or else caulk only maybe in 2 passes, just seems easier to get a full seal.
> Can you point to the data that shows AI engineers work remotely or from an office?

I guess he’s implying that a lot of that progress happened in 2020 and 2021, a time period where very few prople worked in an office.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the problem with Rust right now is that it is in the unfortunate position of being an ascendant language for "cool kids". It has captured some portion of the attention of a younger and more trend-focused audience, and people are attaching their egos and careers to it and jostling to make themselves "known" in its community, etc.

That and some of the projects and types of work adopting it; last year the "web3" and "crypto" companies began piling in, which had a markedly corrosive effect on the language and its emphasis. In general, the amount of "webscale" type work being done in Rust right now has shifted the focus in published crates, etc. from "systems" type work to a lot of the "async serving" types of stuff. For someone like myself whose interest (and day job) in Rust is in embedded, "systems" (closer to the metal, storage, virtual machine, database internals, etc), and the like, this is a bit discouraging. In general the list of speakers at RustCon (before the whole fiasco) didn't look on the whole like the list of speakers around a "systems programming language" for example (with some exceptions).

As more "boring" work is done in Rust, this will hopefully shift. The trend hoppers will move on.

It's baffling because the question is too vague to produce a meaningful answer. What does it mean for macros in Guix to be lazy? The expansion of some macros may be (and is) lazy. For some things lazy evaluation is sensible (e.g. for declaring dependencies because you don't necessarily want to go evaluate the whole graph whenever you evaluate a single package value), for others it is not.

Maybe but...

There are lots of different voting mechanisms around the world. So e are "better" in the sense that people (including me) like them more... but...

Games mature and you end up with some sort of antipattern party politics emerging.

Eg in many multiparty systems extremist small parties can strongarm governments. Acceptability to the majority isn't a thing. Party leaders become little chiefs. Not saying it's worse. It might even be better, but it's not much better.

Also, the US has relatively strong separation of powers. The house, senate and president are weak independently of eachother. Weak institutions and weak parties will probably result in complete indecisiveness.

Imo, if we're suggesting progress on democracy, we need more radical steps. Eg a randomly selected representative body.
Exactly.

What's infuriating about these all or nothing articles is the exclusion of "car lite" approaches.

Over time and kind of slowly, my wife and I realized we really only needed one car. When the market moved around to make selling one of them way way too attractive, we did so (it was an older Porsche, and the market for those went UTTERLY NUTS -- I had it for nearly 20 years and sold it for about 85% what I paid for it).

That was really fine until she took a different job that was no longer public-transit friendly (ironically, it's a job working for the city). I think most couples would've sighed and bought a second car, but we really, really didn't want to -- so we bought a small motorcycle instead. While not suitable for the freeways, provides JUST ENOUGH supplemental mobility that the idea of a second car seems absurd now (especially given the price; the bike was $4800 and gets 80mpg).

(We DID think about ebikes, but they cost almost as much without providing nearly the utility.)
"Amateurs" here meaning people that didn't go to an Ivy League school and isn't part of the same clubs. They definitely are not small fish. That's the point. They made out like bandits (literally), and they're not part of the "club," therefore, they have to go.
It's really unfortunate. I've crowed about this before. The syscall interface on Darwin is so close to being stable. Even though it's not officially supported (TM), the UNIX syscalls basically don't change. (Only one needless breaking change that I recall in the past 10 years on x86).

We need to shake the C demon and the only way is to push back on kernel ABIs changing.

Virgil doesn't depend on C and runs happily on Linux and Darwin. And yea, I know, MacOS breaks.
> The best when skilled people have enough time (!!) to think stuff through, mostly alone or small 2-3 ppl team

I like to say that small meetings of 2-4 people are great for figuring out what to do, and larger meetings are great to have a discussion about the plan made by the smaller meeting. It constrains the discussion and helps to limit rat-holing.
These car conversations always go the same way. Some people just want to live their life the way they want, other people want to tell them it's wrong and they should feel bad.

> whether it's ditching the car or going vegetarian or anything progressive I can't help think it's their own guilt speaking

As a progressive, I find that sort of attitude a little grating. Can't imagine what it's like for conservatives.
Remembering that this thread is in the context of using native browser engines for desktop apps vs Electron, and the original poster's suggestion was quite measured (i.e. we don't need electron for every desktop app). I don't think your point about push notifications is particularly relevant in this use case (personally I don't want desktop apps sending me any push notifications when they're closed - am I in a minority?)

A review comparing the bleeding edge versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on caniuse.com shows that Safari is doing quite well: https://caniuse.com/?compare=chrome+117,edge+114,safari+TP,f...

Many of the areas of "no" for Safari are also "no" for Firefox, suggesting Chrome/Chromium features without a consensus amongst browser vendors, and many don't make any sense for desktop apps (e.g. Vibration/Gyro/Accelerometer APIs).

The GP made a fairly broad statement about web technology support which is what I was responding to - I know they've lagged behind on Push Notifications but what I'm arguing is that I think the narrative of "Safari is slow to adopt new web tech" is more a perception driven by Chromium constantly pushing new features into their browser (and them being regarded as 'web tech' rather than 'chrome tech' simply by nature of their position in the market) than Safari actually lagging behind standards implementation generally.

P.S. On Web Push, I don't think anybody whose older relatives use Android and get regular advert-laden push notifications (from sites they didn't realise they were accepting push notifications from, and often aren't sure how to stop them) would disagree that Google's attitude on Web Push was foolhardy, and Apple taking a more thought out approach is welcome (although I agree that it should have happened faster)
Care to expand on that, or is that just the usual FUD about old versions of pip?
If carefully done, something like this (where parties play a game to decide the borders) might avoid partisan gerrymandering, but there's also reason to be concerned about bipartisan gerrymandering where elected representatives from 2 (or more) parties prefer to have safe seats, so they agree to group voters with similar ones in a way that means it takes a very large swing for anyone to lose a seat and change the result.
They make perfect sense once you understand what they do.

They're not mnemonic for any specific usage because they have more than one possible specific usage in the language.

Besides, what kind of sense does '+' make for addition? It's also purely historical.

Come on, you have to really try to create a narrative where having a set of plans which are done with a set of people to do them and then you remove some of those people and it doesnt disrupt those plans.

People don’t like surprises, and they don’t like having plans messed up.

Just because you, personally, might have a role where you (?) aren’t part of plans or don’t do planning doesn’t mean that broadly speaking, you reflect the average of the teams in your company.

It’s far far more likely that if you dont care about your coworkers, you’re an outlier.
You should ask a professional.

But I think you need social interaction, try to find something to do outside of work in a group.

I find these dogmas to be presumptuous. For the use case, Pickle would be fine. Scaling was essentially a non-concern… it was an internal tool behind a VPN and the usage was below a dozen (and at most would have grown to dozens).

JSON is an alright storage format but it can’t do infinity, nan, or many other values important to Python. Also, you would have to write a reifier and serializer for every value. These simply create a problem rather than solving one.

Not optimizing DX would be a mistake when the whole purpose of the project is to improve the DX by allowing the users to not write JS/React. Once the DX starts becoming that cumbersome you might as well just avoid it by switching back to native React.
