OK, I'll bite.

Easy peasy, Macbooks are maybe not perfect in one aspect, but they strike a well-rounded balance.

OS: Great ergonomics, unix based (WSL can shove it). The peak of Windows was win2000, with XP and 7 still usable. After that it's adware garbage that's getting worse with each release. Linux on desktop sadly never materialized into something that would work out-of-the-box. Plenty issues with wifi, audio, high dpi displays. And even if you overcome this the UI is still clunky.

Hardware: Usually solid. There were some issues with the butterfly keyboards and low amount of ports but besides that it's just nice bodies, good sound, great display.

Nowadays: ARM-based chips just blows out Intel out of water. Never heard a fan noise, battery lasts forever.

You might pay some extra. But as a professional in software engineering, you should be able to afford it.

I've been quite happy with my SK Hynix NVME drives.

But I think to a certain extent it's a bit of a crapshoot as to whether you're hitting a manufacturer while they have an undiscovered issue.

I bought a whole series of Samsung drives in both NVME and SATA and they've all been perfect but this just all happened to be before their more recent issues. Before that I bought a bunch of Intels that all died in annoying ways (I believe they turned out to have a pretty bad write amplification bug tied to their power saving behavior).

2. For tool creators, it's a space to list your innovations and reach an audience that values both quality and affordability.

Why did I build this?

1. To bridge the gap between quality and affordability.
2. To foster a community where innovation isn't stifled by hefty price tags.

Would love to hear your feedback, and if you've built or know of any tool that aligns with this vision, please consider listing it on AffordHunt. Let's democratize access to tech tools together!
Secure what attack surface against what kind of attack from what kind of attacker?

How much effort are you willing to invest?

How much do you want to make their experience suck?

Are they asking for Linux or is that your idea?

How much of your concern might be managed on the router?

OK. My advice. Talking to your kids as autonomous humans is a better investment of your time than technology shopping. Reasonably good judgement doesn't come in a box. Ask them what they want and give it to them if you can

If you don't like iPhones/Windows/Chrome or moralize software licenses, that's you, not them.

It's just a computer. Just a tool for getting schoolwork done. Buy whatever and then spend all the time you saved with your children (times 10,000).

Good luck.

Very cool, I really love to see these new wasm native languages, very exciting.

Do you have any plans for a standard library? Build one specific for the language, or will perhaps try use or create/collaborate on a cross language standard library based on wasm component model? Is this even possible or good idea?

May I ask the toolchain you're using to build Moonbit?

Alcohol consumption is obviously not healthy from a purely physiological perspective, but it seems that the negative effects of infrequent use are mild enough and likely outweighed by the social benefits for many people. Difficult to verify experimentally.
You can’t block ads in Facebook, Instagram or TikTok on mobile. Google places Android search ads. In app ads also cannot be blocked.

It is a misconception that ad blockers significantly impact the ad market as a whole, obviously they impact Google and web advertisers though.
Yeah. From http://ec2-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/AmazonLinuxAMIUserGuid... :

Can someone please explain how this makes any sense for better security. It seems to be just a security theater.
I want to know what went into this $1.5mil waste of a campaign.

Not all campaigns are created equally. Running a bad campaign and then opining about marketing in general is like buying a single car off craigslist and then remarking on the features of a new Maserati.

I was under the impression that all books smell "good" (or in any case, smells that are quite distinctive and generally not disagreeable). With time the scent changes.

Together with the tactile feel of the densely stacked pages the physical experience of books is just phemomenal.
I have no idea what is in the mind / heart of op -

however from a purely non-emotional place it would be reasonable to point out that losing a million dollars to ads and not getting a sale is or is not a better or worse result than another marketing campaign that spent less than that and instead of getting zero dollars in sales caused a loss 300 million (I think that's the last number I saw, and does not include stock losses / brand devalue-ing) in sales.

I think it's unfair to to say someone has hate for someone else without knowing, and to assume it's for 'simply existing' - the BL situation for most people caught up in it is not that I believe.

I agree it may be sensitive to bring it up, but considering this is about marketing and such it's completely irrelevant - although I believe the discussions on this piece would be fine without it.
If this were true we'd still need to explain why there's about 5:1 ratio of severely autistic men vs women.

Bringing in milder autism we can dilute that down to about 4:1 maybe 3:1.

But why? Why are we positing unproven theories to discount the data? That's not good science. Trying to explain data is.

Simon Baron-Cohen the works foremost autism specialist (a clinical psychologist and cousin to Ali G Sacha Baron-Cohen). Put forwards the "extreme male" brain theory (now called emoaphising-systemising theory to avoid gendered language) theory of autism and it's pretty compelling.
Why do you think you thought that things you posted would be permanent?
Could be neat if serde (and other libraries with proc macros) were able to ship WebAssembly blobs. Wasm blobs are portable and run with restricted capabilities. Rustc could expose an embedded API to allow the wasm to generate code and expand macros without hitting the network.

Happens a lot with Amazon. They’ve been making it harder to find 1st party shipped and sold for sometime now. received a nice set of knives for wedding that instantly rusted, I then discovered all the things on my list were sold from sketchy third party, I then proceeded to free return many many pounds of kitchenware, cast iron, etc because ain’t nobody got time for counterfeit nonsense. This was a handful of years ago and it’s only gotten worse.

There’s a lot more shady things going on with mismatched skus and reviews. What you see is often not what you get. Amazon is gutter level now.

Because existing unsafe code written in stable Rust depends on the ability to convert raw pointers and references from one type to another, as long as their memory layouts match. That's the whole premise of the bytemuck crate [0], and it's the basis for things like the &str-to-&[u8] or &[u8]-to-&str conversions in the standard library.

We mainly use high level languages like TypeScript or Python because they work well for us. We do use C/C++ from time to time though, both for high performance requiring bottlenecks and for embedded since we do work with solar plant technology. A couple of years ago we looked into Rust and found it a combination of nice and wanting. It’s sort of great for low level programming and not really worth your time for anything else. Or at least that’s what we decided. We did adopt it and build a few solar inverter applications with Rust where we might’ve used C/C++ before, and it’s a decent language and nice to work with. But then a few months back, or maybe it was longer, some drama hit the ecosystem. Again it was so unimportant to us that I can’t even begin to remember what it was about, but similar to this Serde “drama” it speaks about an immature ecosystem and community. From a purely risk management offset we decided to stop using Rust for the time being. Which probably sounds more dramatic than it is, because we don’t really care about a lot of these issues and we’re probably never even going to be affected by them. But why would we want to spend time and energy on a technology which might change a lot? Well, the quick answer is that we won’t. Take this Serde issue as an example, it’s a very used package. I’m not sure exactly what people use it for, I assume that it’s for things we would likely build in Python, but even with 170 million users it’s main maintainer seems to be an issue. I even agree with the maintainer, but if the Rust ecosystem doesn’t have someone who can fork it and maintain a non-binary version to meet the wants and needs or all these noise makers, well then that’s not exactly a mature ecosystem.

So I think the answer is that it’s mostly just noise, but it’s noise you probably don’t want to have to deal with unless you’re invested in Rust itself.
Wow, that was hardcore. The hard love was oddly refreshing, especially given the razor sharp take.

I do agree the reply about brute forcing the solution space is a bit trollish, in the sense that while it does purport to provide a "constructive" way to find the polynomial time NP solver, it's not actually feasible.

The sleight of hand is where it asserts that the length of the program is a "constant" -- which is technically true because it doesn't depend on the length of the NP problem they're trying to solve... but we're not trying to solve the NP problem, we're trying to find the solver for the NP problem.

I'm no expert in all things NP, but the assumption that a polynomial time SAT solver (if it exists) would have a "normal" length seem to be a very suspect assumption.
This is valid when digging for patterns in historical data, but the chances that future data would randomly correlate for this specific pair are low.

This is why I tend to go for the "open" option (eg. open source software) wherever possible.

Not necessarily because it's better. But because the incentive to enshittify it is lacking.

Closed / proprietary ecosystems tend to be nice for a while. And then disappear without warning. Or turn into crap, like a big sinking ship taking all its users down with it.

FOSS / open platforms tend to fork and/or evolve. And (if they survive) improve over time. That I can deal with.

Might not be the answer you want, but I found it easier to not trust any brand and instead opt for a mirror-RAID approach. Yes, it's more expensive (and still has its own risks) but (IMO) it's better than trusting any manufacturer.
No, that's how a small dessicant fabric bag works that you might stick in a sealed box, but these aren't like that.

They fill up the lower transparent half of the bag with clear water (dessicant invisibly dissolved in it) that you just pour down the drain and throw away the now empty bag.

Each bag can hold .5 or 1L of water; in a stateroom (bedroom), you might have to replace the bag once a month, depending on the humidity on board.

No risk of overflowing, since once the dessicant is used up, it stops working and the bag just sits there, visibly full of water.

build.rs is a source file that you can audit. A binary that has no reproducible build is not auditable even if anyone wanted to.

A single person does not audit all of their dependency tree, but many people do read the source code of some if not many of their dependencies, and as a community we can figure out when something is fishy, like in this case.

But when there are binaries involved, nobody can do anything.

This isn't the same as installing a signed binary from a linux package manager that has a checksum and a verified build system. It's a random binary blob someone made in a way that nobody else can check, and it's just "trust me bro there's nothing bad in it".

The problem here is that nothing in that build is pinned. It builds with nightly, but doesn't define which version / date.

We also don't know how it's build. Ideally there is a Docker container out there that does just an import of source code and then builds. No apk install or apt install (you'd do that in a base published layer). Referenced with an SHA256.

We then use this Docker container to pull in the source code AND its dependencies based on a Cargo.lock. Which... isn't there. So we don't know the exact dependencies that went in.

(Even if there were a Cargo.lock, we need to make sure we actually respect it. I believe cargo install by default ignores the lock file and tries to get the latest version that matches).
> I’m so tired of this angle being accepted at face value. Current driverless cars are not even capable of safely navigating situations that below-average human drivers rarely struggle with, like avoiding driving into clearly marked wet concrete, or not crashing into an emergency vehicle that has its sirens and lights blazing.

The incident was reported as the Cruise robotaxi being struck by an emergency vehicle. It sounds less like the car drove into the big vehicle with the flashing red lights and more like the vehicle wasn't visible and the robotaxi drive into the intersection and was struck. This is a common failure mode of below average human drivers as well.

I agree that its a failure mode that needs to be eliminated and looks pretty bad on Cruise for not anticipating and testing this, but that is a situation that below-average human drivers absolutely do struggle with.
