The irony it's hard there. SystemD it's the only init system which gave me errors trying to shutdown a machine...

>alternatives to Excel

You are right. Both systemd and Excels are turds. Excel mangled genomics data making it unusable and forcing scientists to rename sequences in order to not clash with Excel's internal names. That's utterly crap and a severe step backwards from scientists from the 90's used to be around Unix/GNU-Linux envs where they were utterly free to name whatever thing in almost any way they wanted.
> It is the first fpga really designed with emulation in focus.

Not really. In each generation of devices, Xilinx had one focused on emulation for while now: huge number of LUTs, huge number of general purpose IOs, relatively few DSP elements, a moderate amount of block RAM. Before this monster, it was the Virtex Ultrascale+ VU19P, and before that, the Virtex Ultrascale XCVU440, and before that, the Virtex 7 XC7V2000T.
People who are adopting Rust now at their jobs are in most majority people who are so keen on using Rust to push it into organizational adoption. Most companies don't yet have legacy Rust codebases on which people are told to work, but instead choose to work on.

This creates a self-selection, where Rust lovers work on Rust projects and report utopian happy-go-lucky times. It's normal for most technologies.
I've stumbled upon a so called "acoustic neuromodulation" treatment option, which in theory rewires the faulty brain circuitry by only using sound (non invasive), but not sure where can I actually enroll in this.

It depends... you could always start your own project or work on tooling. Whatever you do, needs to have some market to survive, but there are options. Even if less well paying, less secure and/or less stable. Or, harder to break in to.
your backend developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
I always feel so uncharitable when I find something special in a charity shop.

The best find yet was from oxfam in Winchester - Arabian Nights, numbered and signed by Dulac, 1914 edition - £2, as the spine was (had it restored) damaged.

Oh, and a rather nice Moxon Idylls of the King, same shop a few months later, which I think was £25.

Both are worth a fair bit, but I’ve no intention of parting with them.

Non-literary works… a tiny watercolour by Nolde, gallery stamped and all, for £5. That, I sold at auction as I’m not much of a fan of his, and it paid for the renovation of a cottage.

I think these days they’ve largely wised up, but I still can’t resist a delve whenever I go by a charity shop.
The most interesting part (imo) was here: "We enrolled 338 adults, 51.8% of whom were men. The least-squares mean percentage change in body weight at 24 weeks in the retatrutide groups was −7.2% in the 1-mg group, −12.9% in the combined 4-mg group, −17.3% in the combined 8-mg group, and −17.5% in the 12-mg group, as compared with −1.6% in the placebo group."

The world will be quite interesting when these drugs become widely available and inexpensive.
The more relevant claim is that they don't observe a difference in learning rust vs learning other languages. There is always a learning cost when adopting a new language that few people always know.

This sort of surprised me, because rust felt a lot harder for me personally to learn than Go. But data is far more valuable than an anecdote so there you go!
Why transformative artificial intelligence is hard to achieve
I found an anti-dandruff shampoo in France that was marvelously effective but whose active ingredient isn't in any US anti-dandruff shampoos. I brought four bottles back. I don't need to use it very often to get the effect, shipping liquids is expensive, and I had spare room in my luggage.

OTOH, nobody is trying to smuggle cocaine from France to the US.
I don't know what you mean by "supported", but the HP EliteBook 845 G8 (amd 5650u) I'm typing this on has noticeably better battery life under Linux than Windows. Ditto for its cousin with an 11th gen i7. They get around 5-6 hours on Linux, and around 4 on Windows. Windows also likes to spin those fans while sitting around doing nothing.

Oh, HP recommends Windows 11 (tm) (r) (c). Both worked 100% from day 1 on Linux. But both laptops had issues during the first year under windows (no webcam on the amd, boken external screen output on the intel), so maybe they don't qualify as "supported by both".

This is not how odometers are scammed. The EEPROM gets rewritten to zero, then you can increment the odometer to your preferred value via OBD/UDS. Please note that you can only increment the odometer without a specialized (authenticated) diagnostic session.

Only four months to become as productive in a new language as in a language they have years or even decades of experience in?

Sounds incredible.
For enterprises it should be obvious: the company has much fuller control and management of all the VM images. It's easier to "reset" machines without needing users to bring physical hardware to an IT person when the "machines" themselves that are running most of the applications are "just" VMs in a cloud.

The consumer question is certainly more interesting and harder. Consumers often have some of the same "management" concerns but fewer ways to address them. How many people do you know need a "smart neighborhood friend" or a "tech savvy grandkid" to sometimes fix their systems or reset things they accidentally "broke"? I can see Microsoft saying "let us make it so your smart or tech savvy friend/relative can live anywhere" and getting at least some interest. Maybe even Microsoft has some ability to more directly say "let us be your smart/tech savvy friend" in some cases, that would get some interest too. That said, even if the interest is there to market to, I'm not sure Microsoft is actually capable of marketing it or getting a lot of buy-in, but I'm very curious to see what they are planning.

Also, I think that Microsoft is counting on the advantage that they can blur the lines between "local operating system" and "streaming from the Cloud" in ways that consumers might not even notice. For Power Users they've already started blending those lines: cloud machines can appear as alternate desktops in the existing Task View. (The ease of switching desktops on Linux, only now some of those desktops might be entire remote machines.) There are also enterprise app tools in Windows that let applications running on a remote machine appear in your taskbar like it was running locally and mostly interactable like any other local window.

I imagine consumer offerings would include a lot more blurred lines.
Systemd is a complete solution to a variety of problems may not exists. :P

People do play games on phones and for 3D games an iPhone 7 vs iPhone 11 makes a huge difference. And then we don't even take into account the silicon that they use to post-process photos. Photos on later iPhones are significantly better. Partly due to better sensors, partly due to better lens systems, partly due to huge processing improvements.

Or to make another comparison. An 2016 MacBook Air was pretty mediocre-performance-wise and would require loud fans to spin up for a minimal amount of work. The 2020 MacBook Air M1 was about as fast in compiling Rust projects as a Ryzen 3700X (with 65W TDP), while being completely passively cooled and therefore quiet.

Also, incremental improvements are how we get from a big 4.77MHz XT to a supercomputer in your backpack. It's a bit akin to saying: I have a 4.77MHz XT and my wife an 8MHz AT and I don't really see the difference when running WordStar. The AT is an improvement over the XT, perhaps not noticeable for for some applications, but year-over-year improvements are needed to make big leaps over longer time periods.
So far I've only written rust on solo projects, why is macro use often discouraged? Does that discouragement extend to little things like derive?

Actually, what you're describing pretty much did happen in the UK (which is where this blog post comes from). British supermarkets are generally less willing to raise prices than elsewhere in the world and certainly didn't increase egg prices to anything like the levels seen in the USA. As a result, during the rough time period where the US had really high egg prices, the UK had egg prices that were more or less normal but the shelves were usually empty.
> Well, that’s exactly what I’d expect Rust developers to say. Nobody loves Rust more than Rust adopters.

An increasing number of Android developers in Google are adopting Rust because of the org wide strategy rather than developer passion, so I guess the numbers in 2023 and 2024 would be more interesting to see.

A flatter hierarchy isn't a great solution to an excess middle management when it means that one manager has 15-20 direct reports, as opposed to a healthier target number of 6-8 or maybe 10-12 at maximum. It is important that each manager has adequate time to manage each of their people in a way that enables the kind of proper relationship that supports their team members when they need it.

The current round of recession will probably temporarily shrink some companies or cut off some lines of business, thereby flattening the hierarchy in a less harmful way than what I described. But overworking managers is a different bad thing.

Maybe you're advocating for a smaller maximum company size overall, so that a relatively flat hierarchy doesn't overwhelm those managers who do remain? Or for some right of participation by non-executive managers in collective worker action, as exists in Germany and as acted in the original version of the US National Labor Relations Act before the Taft-Hartley amendments, so that some kinds of large-company pathologies can be addressed better?

Wow, I didn't even know this job existed. IMO Rust as a C++ replacement is fine, Rust as a C replacement has more trade-offs than I still care to make. C is still far simpler (you can still read K&R in one day and keep most of the language in your head), has faster compile times, and the pain points cough macros are still often pain points in Rust.

I think the biggest thing is that systems programming still requires a language that gets out of the way so you can focus on very technical problem domains where what the hardware is actually doing really matters. Rust is a language designed to get in your way and force you to create type abstractions. Adding too many abstraction can be exceedingly dangerous in an environment where not having a full view of how memory and hardware registers are laid out leads to even worse errors than just buffer overflows. IMO Rust makes this type of programmer more difficult just as C++ does.
They wouldn't remove it "as a security threat" as such. They'd remove it because it's not part of the vetted applications list.

Whether he's right or wrong, this is pure shitposting. Which, I mean, it's on Twitter, so that's practically a given, but still.

[EDIT] Oh, as for this part of your post:

> To what audience does this address? It doesn't seem to be HN'ers or YC alumni.

There's a set of people for whom Elon Musk acting erratically, doing stupid shit, and being a total asshole, is just 4D chess because he's such a business genius, and he doesn't really mean any of it, so it's fine (cf Vonnegut's Mother Night)... and also the "woke progressives" are a grave threat and worth spending a lot of time and energy opposing. Some of these are just twitter jerks, but the tech-influencer and owner/entrepreneur/VC crowd is full of folks who think that way (this is not speculation—they say the above in interviews and such all the time, and I personally know one of these sorts, as in, IRL)

That's the audience, I guess.
Bollocks. I would claim that if this doesn't happen frequently, while you're a young adult, then there's a high chance that you're missing out on/ignoring perspectives outside of your family/social bubble.

It can happen, and has happened to me several times, as an adult. But, I agree that it probably shouldn't be frequent. Sometimes genuine facts are presented that should immediately change a perspective.

I've been thinking about this, too, with teaching being my prime candidate. One of the downsides of leaving the tech industry is the reality of taking a massive pay cut at a time when the cost of living (especially housing) has been rising rapidly. As an aside as an American I feel very pessimistic about the state of the American economy and about the medium-term future of this country; it's getting harder for people to get ahead thanks to rising costs (especially housing, health care, and higher education), our politics has become extremely polarized, and the general mood is becoming more tense, as if we're one or two crises away from this nation completely falling apart. It seems that this nation's economy rewards rent seekers, and it's becoming harder for people to make a living through other means.

I think this is a generational thing. Older folks don't see phone calls as intrusive. We've grown up knowing that it is OK not to answer and just check the messages later. And the days of screening calls by letting the machine pick up.

So this: "By calling, I'm implicitly demanding his/her time right now." is just a projection of your own opinions of phones onto someone else. Likewise not knowing who to speak to - you call, let someone answer, tell them what is up, and let them point you to the correct person. No biggie. It is how communication worked in days of yore.

I'm not saying you need to change your attitude about phones - hate them all you like. But not everyone agrees with you, so if you sincerely are wondering why phones still exist, it is because different people exist.

This looks cool. I like that you're showing diffs and integrating the AI code and suggestions back into the original source code.

I've been focused on similar concepts with my open source AI coding tool. My tool is a command line GPT chat tool. You can ask it to write or edit code in any git repo. It displays live diffs as the AI edits stream in and automatically integrates them into your source files. I think this is similar to what your article is describing?

Folks might want to check out `aider` if they want to do the style of AI coding you're showing, but on their own git repos.

I also have no clue. This Twatter way of communication and it's purpose are things i haven't managed to fully comprehend yet. It's disturbing tbh.
This ignores the concept of trust, which is real and useful.
I'm somewhat mixed. From what I've used, for relatively high level boilerplate code, the stuff I hate, it's okay with. For anything more complex, there are a lot of mistakes, and you still have to understand the technical and the domain to spot the mistakes. I think it will be all that much harder to become skilled as AI generated code becomes more common, because fewer relatively speaking, developers will be able to spot said errors and correct for them.

It's hard enough to keep up with PR reviews of a half dozen developers while doing my own work now. Hard to imagine that with 3-4x the output.
