> There are so many features I miss from Rust ... like sum types (called enums in Rust)

I feel the same whenever I have to go to other languages after using TypeScript. I want to model all of my data using the limited algebraic data type operations that many newer languages have (usually sum and product types).

Recently I've been writing some Go for a project that is a tiny bit beyond a plaything. I am surprised how much I actually like Go and I am very glad to have come to the language to use for real after they added generics. But several times I wanted to do a union `SomeType | AnotherType` and the fact it is missing from Go is like an itch that can't be scratched.

I would also add that discriminated unions alongside type narrowing (usually based on branching or escape analysis) just seems like something I want everywhere. Add in a powerful `match` statement and some kind of destructuring and I start to get very interested.

If there is some future where Go picks up sum types, adds some kind of support for discriminated unions and type narrowing based on branching - then it might just be the best general purpose language (although unlikely to be a contender for best low-level systems level language).
They aren't 100% wrong, sketchy battery repairs can end in fire, it's just the nature of lithium based batteries. They need to be charged and discharged appropriately.

The solution here is not locking out anyone but the manufacturers, the solution is standardization and training.

If there was one standardized battery management board, or a series of standards, and one standardized way of putting together these batteries (which there mainly is) then there could be a training program w/ certification. Take your battery to get serviced by someone without certification that's on you, take it to a certified technician and it goes up in smoke that's on them and/or the certification board.
There is a fire hazard indeed! Exactly like with helicopters and their fuel. We need to respect strong process to deal with H2 in safe way.

Concerning wind effects, we aim to operate with winds up to 10m/s (we did 8,5m/s last week so it's going well!). If the winds are higher we will wait it out (exactly like other aircrafts do ie drones and helicopter in certain cases).

The Maui wildfire was driven by a hurricane, a weather event. Did you not mention that? The Axios article providing context and discussion around a topic -- some of which does argue in the affirmative for climate change -- is not contradictory to my post because I was not arguing against climate change. I'm arguing with your attitude towards the commentators on news stories, who you seem to view as ignorant, when they are parroting exactly the messaging that the climate activists trained them to parrot.
>const is not the default

While I agree to a point, I also understand the argument against this. In programs, a lot of state needs to be changing. Which means you're going to type mut a LOT over the course of a 100k line program. And frankly, that gets tedious really quickly.

If you miss a const in C++, no big deal. The program still works. It's mostly a safety net. [with notable exceptions] But if you forget a mut in Rust, the program is not going to work.

That's an advantage (you can't write something incorrectly) but it's also tedious, imo.

When working on the C++ codebase daily, I occasionally find myself going "Hmm, that could be const/I need const here to use something" and swap it over. But it's fairly rare, and overall less time investment on my end.

Frankly, this explains most differences in Rust and C++. Rust is OK with the developer having to do more boilerplate, more verbose code, etc. for the sake of ensuring correctness. C++ assumes the best and goes with it to save some time in the short run. That's neither good nor bad, just preference.

I think the burden of research and citations can also be put back onto you as well. You can fully research this information yourself - it’s trivial.

That is pretty sketchy data. However, deworming once a year might be an overkill. What is the health cost of deworming to individual? What is the cost to the environment?
Not in Germany. You have to get explicit permission or at least give the chance to deny consent, just because you consent doesn't mean the recording party did. It's a bit sad, IMO.

What I do is I inform and get consent from hotline agents during the call.
Common law countries (including the USA) don't limit consideration to cash. It can (and indeed has) been argued that there is consideration for licensor in GPL cases, see e.g. https://www.technollama.co.uk/us-court-declares-gpl-is-a-con... .
I thought so too, and I went to one of the three National Service Academies, so I was taught about a lot of these people directly. Many of the modern top generals were some of the lowest-ranked graduates, and generally took the easiest majors, mostly Political Science. The bottom-ranked leader phenomenon starts with the leaders selected by the cadets themselves, and continues to the top of the ranks. So why was it different back then? There was a stronger emphasis on military science, but they also prided themselves on outperforming Harvard in whatever colleges used to compare each other, so it wasn’t the only focus.

The obvious answer is pretty simple: graduation order determined time-in-rank seniority, so they were considered for promotion before anyone else, and this both continues and compounds throughout their career.

Is there an actual correlation to military performance? Probably, and probably slightly more so for the academy than other schools, because of the way that subjects are taught. I later went to several other name-recognizable universities, and there are large differences in the pace and depth of what is taught and tested, with the academy having a much greater pace over much more material at a much lighter depth, so it’s kind of like testing your ability to take in a lot of information very quickly and react to it, rather than master a domain of knowledge and creatively expand upon it.

There is also a social effect of named leaders to gain support among a cohort, especially in ‘minority’ populations, which are formed by commissioning source in the military officer corps. For example, Westmoreland was “first rat” at The Citadel, which has a much lower admission standard than West Point, but it was a brutal program with fierce advocacy among graduates.

Multiple big market makers pay for order flow in the United States, which results in orders getting intercepted before they hit the public markets.

They are generally given some price improvement relative to the public BBO, so the argument is that customers filled via PFOF are better off.

However one second-order effect of PFOF which argues against this is that PFOF makes it less attractive for non-PFOF firms to participate on the exchange.
Because small customer trades, which are generally low information content, have been filled off exchange, only the larger and riskier trades trade on the exchange. This causes spreads to be wider on the exchange than otherwise.

Some European exchanges have banned PFOF. I think these exchanges are working OK without it.
>but UIs are plastered with the words "buy", "purchase", etc underneath the title of a movie just as they would be for a physical copy.

1. This argument could have worked if digital stores were a new thing, but at this point everybody knows that when you "buy"/"purchase" something digitally, you're not afforded the same rights as buying a physical object. Therefore the argument that consumers are somehow being deceived doesn't really hold water.

2. What about other stuff you "buy" that you can't transfer? I'm pretty sure you can't transfer air fares or a costco membership, but I don't see people complaining that airlines or costco that they're somehow misleading consumers by their choice of verbs.
This comment does not merit wide attention. You've cherry-picked a quote from the abstract in a highly misleading way. The adjusted p-value is <0.01, which is a perfectly reasonable confidence interval. Odds ratio is 4.6 ffs.

>Associations with PFOS in the first/only samples were weak and not statistically significant.

The "first/only" samples were controls, they had generally very low levels of perfluorinated sulfonic acids and so no correlation was detected.

>Elevated concentrations of perfluorononanoic acid were inversely associated with TGCT

Only perfluorinated sulfonic acids were associated with testicular cancer. Perfluorononanoic acid is a carboxylic acid which is likely used as an alternative — i.e. those who were exposed to it were likely exposed to fewer perfluorinated sulfonic acids.

>whereas results were null for other PFAS.

This is the most dishonest part of your comment — you left out the preceding sentence about positive association of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid with TCGT, and by omitting that context you made it look like there were no associations.
The counter point is that the vast majority of produced stuff is absolute useless garbage no one actually needs, or a gazillion of ripoffs from each other. Consumerism is a plague not only for people but also for the environment.

I think we can see a „dry-run“ of some product launch, point out dangerous flaws, and repeat until something actually useful is proposed that is not some profit-extraction tradeoff that makes something else worse.

This is rather extreme by intention, the truth probably is somewhere between, but I think most people can’t see how a more regulated system can actually thrive much better than putting people into poverty death loops and destroying the planet in the process.
No authorization needed! Some humility and self-reflection would be nice but you're free to weigh-in in whichever manner you like.

I ditched every form builder I used until this happened
I agree, Fortran is easy to learn, and it's a pretty small language so you can keep it all in your head. The part about Fortran that I find hard is the "culture" around it. There are styles of programming in Fortran that just don't work with my brain. Just like the "Java culture" of extreme abstraction (i.e FactoryFactoryBuilderHelper classes) bothers me too.

I can start a fresh Fortran program and write it out pretty quickly (though I do miss native dictionaries), but when I have to collaborate with an old-school Fortran programmer (especially one trained on FORTRAN 77) it's pretty tough for me. I have to reprogram my brain to think in that style/culture.

I tend to do most of my high performance numerical stuff in Numpy since it defers to the Fortran libraries for the hard stuff. I haven't found any properly written vectorized code get bottlenecked in the interpreter.
There was a time when form builders used to be my favorite thing to explore and play with

then things went south and I had to pull my hair every time I used a 'form builder' available on the Internet to get my stuff done (you know some of the new and modern ones out there)

Here is why I almost threw my laptop out of the window:

0 level of simplicity of getting anything out of the form builders after spending a good time building my forms.

Risk of non-secure forms which made me sweat as I can't compromise on any data going out to any hacker sitting in the basement

No proper sharing, analytics, or in-depth customization.

There were many others that will indeed make this post long enough for you to not read further.

Although, I know your next question

"Well didn't you try all the big ones out there? They have it all"

Answer to that? "THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND GIVE TERRIBLE LIMITS"

on top of that, pay a little more money and you can have your 'branding removed'

So, what did I suffer from?

No forms on my website
No leads
No Appointments
Well, no $$$$
UNTIL, UNTIL!

Enter MakeForms which is unimaginably one of the best form builders I have come across removing every problem I faced with my old builders.

Now, I won't write everything here. As a matter of fact, they are on a lifetime deal on RocketHub (which is indeed a steal in case you are frustrated with your old form tools and would like a solid replacement)

It has EVERYTHING you expect in a form builder..no kidding..

Not OP but I was struck by the sentiment. I'm sure many of us on HN approach our lives through the lens of an academic/engineering mindset. Of course that kind of approach is valid and useful. We can also approach life as artists (poets) and lean into spontaneity, playfulness and creativity. There is a kind of freedom that is unique to the latter approach. You don't have to be a professional artist to make art out of living.
> If the application is containerised, like most are these days, how do you propose running these on said VM?

As far as I can tell, this kind of load can be perfectly served by a €40 bare metal Hetzner instance (together with a Minecraft server and what not) so even a simple Docker Compose would do.
My kids are in elementary school now and all homework except reading is optional. However, I have them do their homework then I review it when I'm done with work. Any concepts they don't understand I go over with them. It's usually 5-10 minutes per night per kid.

If I didn't do this my oldest would have easily flunked math last year. But just a few minutes per night of making sure she understood the concepts was the difference between that and her acing it.

I started this because we had a teacher that was really bad at noticing if one of our kids was understanding things or not. For example, we got worksheets back from school where everything was done incorrectly and there was just a giant star on it. Fuck that.
We don't have lemon laws in Canada either, I had a major problem with my brand new truck and the manufacturer and dealer were useless, strung me along and refused to help. I ended up giving up and trading it in and buying something else (obviously another brand), it wasn't worth the fight.

What happens exactly when a 625 Wh battery pack "goes"? Does it explode? Does it burn fiercely for several minutes?

625 Wh is the energy equivalent of a few ounces of gasoline. That's certainly enough to do some damage, especially if it gets misted to an explosive air/fuel ratio, but not something that most people would be afraid to handle.
Fair. Like I said, I don't know the context. I would include rebuffed attempts to work with Hashi as this kind of changes the situation. I run a company that does publish several libraries, and we are trying to figure out revenue models and things going forward. We don't really have anything in this category, but the general problem is a problem. A lot of companies tried to monetize open source, then the obvious risk happened, which is a lot of competition came in and just tried to monetize the same thing. Now some orgs are changing licenses, and people are upset. I can see both sides, and the industry does need to find some kind of middle path for reasons I mentioned in the post. The degree to which Hashi is a bad steward impacts the perception and response. If the license change didn't impact users and only competition, and Hashi had been trying to work with everybody to figure it out, then it would very much change how this looks. If they're a bunch of aholes, well, same but in the opposite direction.
> I already have ~20 pull requests pending and ready to go, but before we start the next merge frenzy, please give this final release one last round of testing, ok?

It means that Linux is holding off for a few days on starting the 6.6 release cycle, so that late issues can possibly be fixed before everyone's focus is captured again by the next release.

Usually that means awaiting the build results and self-tests from the distributions (although many will have already done that on the -rc kernels).

The whole picture is not necessarily as simple as taking the license at face-value because these licenses are also legal documents.

Consider the existence of casual or 'crayon' licenses. They might meet common definitions of "open source" in plain-english, yet, it could be questionable as to whether they would be enforced that way in a court, either due to lack of real world use or due to legal issues with their construction.

The question, "does a license which says it meets the definition of open source, but might not actually be enforceable" is not one that open source advocates agree on, even if they agree on the definition.

There are plenty of great restaurants in the Minneapolis and St Paul proper 'cities', but specifically downtown Minneapolis is generally reserved for some very high-end restaurants, food trucks, or garbage fast casual/'skyway' restaurants (we have a system of interconnected buildings where you don't need to leave the comfort of buildings and go outside).

1. The skyways are decimated because far fewer people are downtown any longer for work.

2. The skyways had some hidden gems, to be certain, but were never a source of high-quality food.

3. About 15 years ago, food trucks hit the scene and were the first to decimate the skyway restaurants because they offered far better options.

4. Many suburbs offer some hidden gems that are open outside of the lunch hour but in my opinion, for the most part, the best restaurants are outside of the St Paul and Minneapolis downtowns and are located in areas that are the smaller neighborhoods where people live, rather than work (see: North Loop in Minneapolis and 'Eat Street' in St Paul).

5. We live 10-15 minutes out of the Minneapolis downtown area and regularly drive to Minneapolis for nice dinners out being that our suburb is particularly devoid of any high quality eating.

6. We used to live about 30 minutes South of St Paul and Minneapolis downtowns and while there were (IMO) better options within 10 minutes of our home there than where we live today, they were primarily family-owned ethnic restaurants, nothing to write home about otherwise. This is likely due to the lower cost of living and the longer distance to the other options in #4, above.

So, to your point, yes, MSP is similar to what you describe and for the same reasons, but it's not "ALL" of the best foods. It doesn't at all change my belief that Fhima and his restaurants aren't going to succeed just because several thousand Target Corporate employees are back in the office. There are just too many other companies who have also gone WFH and none of them should change just because David is pissed off that he made a poor business decision to open restaurants where he did and his menus don't drive foot traffic above other options elsewhere.
How well does it tolerate lateral winds?

My impression of the power lines in my area is that the top wire is just structural. I could imagine something (lighter than air or not) crawling along it rather than floating free. Of course you'd need to only do that if you knew that the additional drag wouldn't subsequently damage the thing you're inspecting, but since you're an inspection company, that kind of assessment shouldn't be too hard.
The original rebuttal asked for a source and the source was a personal experience. Thar doesn't mean it's the only area, nor does it prove/disprove it as a niche.

I saw an Onlyfans QR code at a gas station, I think it may be less niche than people give it credit for. It's just that westrn society, as usual, does a good job suppressing knowledge in the topic. so many circles are underground.

It just feels werid calling a multi billion dollar empire "a niche".
Darwin to Melbourne is about 3,100km. My location in SE Canada it can be -25C with 1m snow, 100km/h winds meanwhile 2,700km in Miami it's a balmy 30C.

Then, you get to replace your fear of prison, with the fear of losing a wheel in a pothole on I-75. Just kidding (mostly)! Both states have some pretty great qualities. Michigan certainly wins on natural beauty (although SE Ohio has a number of gems). As an avid cyclist, Ohio has a great number of trails to ride. The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail is probably my favorite.

I'm vaguely curious on which ones you mean. Especially with regards to the vaccines, the data is pretty overwhelming that they were a net good. The charts that were showing hospitalization/deaths of vaccinated versus not were fairly conclusive. Did they live up to some of the initial hype about them? I don't actually know. The pipe dream that many were saying of a sterilizing vaccine were always a distant hope.
I don't know. But my feeling is rather few people test. Of course there is some automatic testing. That probably continues until the next rc1 is out?
Ask HN: How can family and friends use a YC SAFE to invest in my company?
Family and friends want to invest in my company during a "love money" round. The family and friends are non-accredited investors under SEC rules. Can they still invest money with us using a YC SAFE? If the friend/family member can't use the YC SAFE themselves, how might I accept investment from them? Via a trust?
Most likely the politicians that belong to the NRA are controlling the narrative.

Almost all politicians are also owned by the car and oil industries, so that would explain the lack of action with the high number of RTCs.
The big tech companies which came from nowhere to the top of the SP500 have always the same culture of obsessive work, no work-life balance and high competitiveness for the job.

Tesla is adding a sense of being persecuted and some sort of 'ends justifies the means' attitude when they decide that it's okay to sell vaporware, or to manipulate the stock, or to take money from consumers for products they'd never see the light of the day or when they cook the books to make the financials look better than what they are....etc etc.

On top of that you have the fact that all the above suffering and deception is for building go karts for rich people that if they ever were to become 100% of the global car supply they'd reduce warming by some 0.08C compared to ICE cars.
