Rust makes use of some more advanced type features than Java has. You’ll want to focus on some of the differences between traits and interfaces. Additionally, in Java you’re probably used to a lot of runtime dynamism, this is possible in Rust, but not something you usually need to use. To understand this better, look at dyn object safety.

The biggest thing in Rust that you need to become familiar with from Java is the ownership system. First, Java is a default copy-by-reference language, whereas Rust is move by default. So learn the difference between, T, &T, and &mut T. Learning the ownership system will make you disappointed in Java’s thread-safety story. Rust makes thread safety and multiple references to values very obvious and you need to be explicit about how things should be shared. This will probably be your biggest hurtle, based on my experience.

Read the book, these concepts are all explained very nicely: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
The Fediverse is by and large an unencrypted platform, and users should be under no illusion that toots and private messages are accessible to anyone with access to the server.

This is an acceptable tradeoff for most people, and you can use Briar if it isn't an acceptable tradeoff for your social circle.

It’s possible you’re not getting enough precursors to allow for sunlight to greatly increase vitamin D production. How much fat do you eat in a day? Skin tone is an additional factor as well.

Also, an aside, it’s humorous to me that you describe 30+ minutes a day as “plenty of sun”. By todays standards, definitely. But the natural state of humankind is “however many minutes there is sun” worth of sun per day.

Twitter appears to be DDOSing itself
What's the difference between that or something like Twitter? Breaches happen all the time, and companies don't always disclose them.
The catch is that your body wont overproduce if you already have sufficient levels. Supplementing when you don't need it is a bad idea.
That is absurdism, a way to make the topic more suitable as entertainment. They are not being literal.

I agree, I sometimes run into people - usually corporate employee, college educated people - “straight edge” people that are just getting around to experimenting with psychadelics and say things like “I’m not really into drugs” and treading carefully for that reason

Its a smart approach

But being unable to distinguish between “drugs” is sad

Its a categorization problem, its a anti drug education problem that also categorized everything together and conflated everything with wild rumors. Its a supply chain problem as substances do need to be tested to ensure you are only getting your psychedelic.

> we were putting everything on a credit card and not worrying about the bill that eventually had to be paid

We (consumers) didn't put anything on a CC. VCs did.

And I count that for the blessing it was. I ordered tons of subsidized food on DoorDash, cheap rides on Uber, etc.

Now that golden era is over, and I will not be ordering any more of that stuff at the now exorbitant prices.

Thank you based VCs, for comping a bunch of stuff for me the last 10 years.
the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS were around 1981, he said that in 1983, and at the time, we actually didn't know very much about transmission. 1983 was the year that HIV was determined to be the cause of AIDS. That's not spreading misinformation because nobody at the time really knew any better for sure, and the precautionary principle applies in this case. Further, he went on to be one of the "heroes" of HIV/AIDS.

I was so terrified of HIV/AIDS at that time that I went into drug discovery research and later worked with people who helped develop anti-HIV drugs (protease and transcriptase inhibitors). To hear people today try to discredit Fauci for doing his job is just painful to watch. It took decades of hard research before we really understood the nature of transmission. I believe the current understanding is mucous membranes between two people touching has a measurable but very small rate (.01% of exposures lead to infection).
in tech at least even if you fail, you are developing valuable skills that can be used elsewhere. Plenty of failed startup founders end up at other places in engineering or management roles

not creating a billion dollar startup isn't a failure, tons of people in the tech industry retire as multimillionaires essentially working a 9-5. A lot of people on HN seem to think if you don't make the Forbes list you are a failure
I read a few after he passed, Dog of the South was my favorite, a very funny story about a particularly American kind of loser. Reminiscent of Confederacy of Dunces.

The too-brief Lodge 49 was influenced by Portis, Masters of Atlantis most obviously, and the second season had some Dog of the South (or possibly Gringos, which I haven't read) in it
Not specific to the issue here:

Please _never_ _ever_ put a production database on a system which is not permanently in office, preferably never on any desktop system at all.

Not just unencrypted databases any production database no matter the state of encryption.

There is quite a large variety of reasons for this some security related, some liability (and similar legal reasons) related.

I know it's not very convenient, annoying and sucks. But as system administrators we have responsibilities to uphold (which is partially why I normally not work as a sysadmin, eh, also maybe just ignore me).
> I think cap'n'proto gets a little closer to having an actual notion of objects, in that the protocol has actual identifiers built in. But it's still more about services than objects.

Cap'n Proto is all about the objects! I would say this is the whole point of the design, and my main motivation in creating it.

(Unlike CORBA, though, Cap'n Proto does not try to pretend that RPCs are equivalent to local calls. In particular it has promise pipelining to compensate for latency, rather than pretending there is no latency. https://capnproto.org/rpc.html)
I for one would 100% buy one if you can get tiny CRTs. It's a shame how rare CRT screens are nowadays
Honestly stingers don't really matter to the US inventory we don't even have an MOS to a job for operating of a man Portable anti-aircraft weapon.and it should be known that the javelin can actually engage the same targets as the stinger. How do I know this, javelin qualified in 2001. Yes it's easier to use a stinger to walk on a fast mover or a helicopter. It is possible with a javelin and if you lock it will hit it.
The downsides that you mentioned increase if you don't supply them weapons.

Even if Ukraine loses with the weapons, it loses less hard than without them, and can push for a split, for example, instead of a full annexation.
It would be interesting, I bet they can modernize manufacturing too, arms industry is super interesting in that matter.
Because twitter is no longer publicly visibly can HN stop accepting submissions pointing to it?
If there really are excessive scrapers i wonder if they will actually attempt to fan out across a bunch of accounts immediately or play chicken with Twitter here. How long does Twitter have to play chicken with them to get them to pay?

Does anyone have any ideas as to how they would approach this differently trying to achieve what twitter is? It seems like a proof of work captcha cost, balanced to the api fee, in the background or past a threshold of post views could drive scrapers into paying for the api. But that still requires playing cat and mouse well at the new accounts gate.
So you do have a mysticism about what it is like to go to Harvard.

Regardless of how selective they are with admissions it also doesn't mean that a large chunk of the people they rejected wouldn't have also done fine there.

Arguably it's much easier to get good grades at Harvard due to grade inflation if you are a good student (which you are by definition if you are at the top of your class) than at state schools.
The fact that this is so much longer than previous ones makes me wonder if LLMs were involved.

It's only in recent history that it became free to play. What you pay for now is a "verified" badge, so you can play with others who have bought the verified token, reducing the amount of low effort hackers you play competitively against.
Yaccarino was placed there simply so that when twitter does eventually go belly up Musk can go "it's her fault, I wasn't the CEO". I'm unsure why anyone thought/thinks she has any other purpose?

Is it that, or is it Russia acting as the imperial power it once was? Ukraine has been a meaningful part of Russia for a long time, with its achievements (social, arts, science etc) being a big part of Russian history. I’m not sure that Russia is taking the loss very well. I’ve encounter Russians who dispute the existence of Ukraine “it’s all Russia”. The feelings run very deep.
At the same time, reflecting on the 5-10% pockets of what you do now that you really enjoy that makes the rest worth it (or used to) might be an interesting exercise to let it shine a light on your path.

See if there's other projects you can hop on or sit in on in your current job.

Failing that, software development is something that you can sometimes create your own experience instead of getting it from a job. Join meetups, demonstrate what you are learning and present it, and let your network organically grow and you will by pass much of the application process or have it be a bit smoother.

Domain switching can be greatly helped by cultivating relationships that don't just help you, but you also add value.

Yep. You know the "10,000 hours of directed practice is how you master a subject" meme? A good teacher's where that direction comes from. The good teacher will look at what you're doing and what you're struggling with and point you to exactly the right tool in the complicated toolset you're trying to pick up, and show you how much easier it makes your task.

Finding the good teacher is, of course, a quest in and of itself. My experience is that becoming an assistant to an expert in the field is a great fast track to mastery, once you're good enough. Ideally a paid one, unpaid internships are super easy to abuse.
- "A whole military complex devoted to war with you"

This is peak western propaganda.

We literally have a massive naval presence conducting the world's largest military exercises off their coast, practicing invading them in the South China Sea and ROK - a state that wouldn't exist had we not invaded china's ally the DPRK, leveling their cities, killing 1/5 the population, installing a dictator, and maintaining full operational control of their military in the event that we decide to invade them again or invade China.

On top of that we've got tons of strategic military installations surrounding them, we even spent trillions and sent our people to die for more strategic advantage in Afghanistan. The US has shown that we're the real aggressors time and time again with the media's constant hostile rhetoric, and the very real military conquests we've conducted around the world, killing millions, overthrowing or assassinating democratically elected leaders, and installing dictators in countless nations across the globe.

Swap the names for 10 seconds, substitute Korea for Mexico, China has fleets in the Caribbean and bases in Canada, they conduct the world's largest exercise in the gulf practicing how to war with and invade the US, they've successfully toppled countless governments and popular uprisings. And now they're saying your weather balloon is a spy balloon and your country's military is devoted to war with them.

Look at the historical context, and you'll realize how hypocritical and obvious the US's hostility, fear mongering, and propaganda towards China is. It's seriously the same rinse and repeat recipe we've used for every one of our thinly veiled imperialist conquests.
Affirmative Action Is Dead. That's a Good Thing
Many companies are leaving cloud hosting due to spiraling costs. Even well-knowns like 37signals:

It's nice to have options. Cloud good. Self-hosting good. Middle options good.
You would think that forced logins would have stopped a majority of the scraping. Even if it didn't the rate limit they have well below what would be needed to stop scrapers.
By what means?
With GPT it's more like rolling a d20 than a coin toss.

19-20=You receive the enlightenment you were asking for, more or less instantly.

3-18=You get what amounts to a Socratic conversation with Wikipedia. Which, unless you're fortunate enough to have access to expert personal mentorship, is better than what you had before.

1-2=You get a load of highly-plausible bullshit. You end up worse off intellectually, possibly much worse.

All in all, I'm OK with these odds, especially at this early stage of the LLM game.
Technically correct, it was the US State Department and Congress (See: McCain, et. al.) implicated in the ouster of a legitimately elected Ukrainian president in what would most reasonably be described as a violent coup with the president being far upon by far-right militia, one that might reasonably described as Neo-Nazi in nature.

Considering Us behavior when the Soviet Union installed assets on Cuba, there isn’t a whole lot of ethical ground to be found here. Just Great Power politicians playing stupid games with innocent lives.
They fund out that in order to move, the rubber has to hit the road. Idealism and vigorous wishing, does not make things happen in this world, they found out.
Has it been reversed already? I'm actively trying to hit the limit on my unverified account without success
I think you're confusing anarchy with disorder.
There's no gotcha. My account hit the rate-limit hours ago and twitter is no longer viewable when logged out, so I literally cannot view what the tweet you linked to is saying...
Only if they are making up numbers. Ads are incredibly lucrative, and people don't like spending money.
Just because they act through different pathways doesn't mean they're not psychedelics.

They're not Tryptamines, sure, but they are psychedelic even if they act differently from "classical hallucinogens" (to borrow a similarly strange term I've read in scientific literature).

Salvia is also not a 5-HT2A agonist, does that mean it's not a psychedelic?
Non-verified colonists are now limited to 600 breaths per day.
Oh, I’m essentially off it since naughty ol’ mr car took it over; it used to be better (though even then, there’s a reason it was affectionately known as the hellsite).
this is news because its twitter

because people love having the chance to say something bad about elon

because the new cycle is just circular negativity

lol

see you next week when the site is back to normal
I would believe that scraping is why they now require users to be authenticated.

But given that they now require users to be logged in, it should be computationally cheap to drop unauthenticated requests at the front door before they incur real expense.

It'd also be cheap to just blackhole datacentre IP space.

The sort of attack that would require this level of limits is malware on tens of thousands of residential machines that can use a user's existing Twitter session cookies. I'm really skeptical that's the case.
They can give it a catchy name too with their branding, because it adds so much value to their services. Maybe call it Google+?
And we get the nice side effect of Twitter being dead.
Mastodon has had its issues, both globally and for specific instances.

Sidekiq falling over is a big one. See: <https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/scaling/> and <https://nora.codes/post/scaling-mastodon-in-the-face-of-an-e...>

(I have to email my own admin every few months to ckeck if things are OK.)

And during the October Revolution as hoardes arrived from birdland, things got ssssslllloooowwww globally.

Worked out eventually, but it took a bit.

Individual instances also tend to run into scaling issues, with Jerry Bell's Infosec.Exchange coming to mind. (Mostly because Jerry's discussed this a bit.) And of course individual instances can be shut down or fail in various ways. I've migrated several times myself.

I will say that most of the time things seem fine, and it's exceptionally rare for there to be truly Fediverse-wide issues.

(I've been on Mastodon / the Fediverse since 2017, for the most part quite actively.)

> LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.

> You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.
For a book length (1960's course length) take on this idea, see Conway, Regular Algebra and Finite Machines
that would be like confusing chicken and egg!
Affirmative action helped affluent blacks and Latinos. If you were poor then it very likely did not affect you either way. Your chances were zero and are zero

There is no point in trying to guilt trip liberals here. That energy is better spent elsewhere
> This headline makes it sounds like SpaceX is more that a freight carrier here, undoubtedly for clicks.

How many commercial freight carriers do you think are options right now?

I would love for rocket launches to be as mundane as hiring a trucker... but they aren't.
Haven't looked at it, but I assume the use-case is opposite of your suggestion, i.e. CUE wants to offer some kind of plugin integration and embedding a WASM runtime is the safest way.
Caves and trees and other natural shelter were presumably available and used by the 'natural' humans, and clothing/constructed shelter was a thing after not too long as well. So it's not like we were in the sun literally all day bud.
I like it in principal, but I think it's hard to keep up with spam in a manner like this.
> All of this is mildly depressing though. It feels as though we are just our brains (maybe obviously), but just that we're the strange effects of the functions of a non-magical/soul-less organ in our heads primarily just meant to steer our bodies. Those thoughts make drugs both existentially liberating but at the same time also "imprisoning" for me

That is certainly one way of looking at things, and one of the more frequent perspectives I harbor. But I've also had enough trips down the rabbit hole to realize there's more to it than that. Way more to it.

We are definitely strange effects for sure. We are haunted atoms that formed in the core of a dying star. Weird, right? If you find that worldview imprisoning, I encourage you to question it. Magic is often simply what you need it to be, no need to get hung up on whether magic is "real" or not, because that doesn't actually matter.

Check out Discordianism if you haven't already. It's kinda like hot swapping reality tunnels. No need to commit to one ontology all the time :).
Really surprised not to see a single mention of masks in this article.

N95 and surgical masks are made from an energy intensive process that spin microplastics into a woven structure. When wearing these masks, you're subjected to a small amount of inhaled microplastics.

Normally this isn't a problem, since people used to wear these masks just for medical procedures, or for certain construction jobs that emit high amounts of particles, but at my office now I see people wearing these things for 8+ hours a day! And at the end of the day, hundreds upon hundreds of these masks are just thrown in the landfill (or in SF, just on the street).

This is the worst case of misuse/overuse of plastics by far, and nobody seems to talk about it. Please, if you insist on continuing to wear a mask, switch to a reusable one.
Oh awesome, yeah I hit the limit by about 5pm. How damn stupid do you have to be to not only restrict viewing to logged in users, but to then limit how long those eyeballs can look at your adverts.

Between Reddit's implosion and Twitter being run by a moron it's making it incredibly easy to get work done.

IPv6 is a lot more address space; does that mean it's easier to host static routes and therefore servers, making it easier to self-host things?
This was predicted. Remember when Ford decided they could make more money by only selling trucks and SUVs? Car companies made a decision that more people were going to die so they could sell more expensive cars.
Of course they have stringent rules. If they just let anyone post whatever they wanted, it would be total anarchy!
What really grinds my gears is that all of the signup pages and “how to join” pages just say to pick a random instance because it’s federated and it doesn’t matter which one you join.

What if the random one I pick gets defederated? Now I need to find a new instance and make a new account?

This will make federated services into even MORE echo chamber ultra-moderated spaces than Reddit ever was, as the fear of defederation will cause lockdown policing of wrongthink.

I honestly think it may be worse for free speech.

Then again, I’ve never joined a federated service and I have no actual anecdote or evidence to back myself up, I’m kind of just spitballing thoughts.
I managed to hit the limit during the F1 sprint race as theres a ton of threaded comments for that. Genius level move on how to screw up your own business.
This kills any advertising revenue they have and I'm sure twitter blue subscribers won't be happy about this if it keeps going on. I wonder if they will give twitter blue subscribers an even higher limit so that they can actually use it.

The turning of the seasons and the weather are as immutable and absolute as social media, so this is a perfect analogy for the situation at hand.
