As I understand it Rust's unsafe is designed so you can encapsulate unsafety behind a safe interface.

It's up to the programmer to verify the safety of code using unsafe. But it they do so correctly then you can rely on the borrow checker to verify that everything else is safe.

This means that when you run into a thread safety bug in Rust code you should only have to look at the unsafe blocks to find the culprit.

Today though, with languages like js being the most popular one, I would be surprised if inflow of mediocre developers into Java world would be even the same, not to mention higher, then with those more popular languages (Go included)

ok, now you got me wondering... could a pregnant mother take this drug if they're at high risk of their fetus having CF (or confirmed via pre-testing) to prevent this?

(Or possibly will continue taking it if they have CF as we can expect more CF patients to have children)

Maybe it's a regional thing, but "breakfast cereal" is exclusive of "oatmeal" where I'm from (despite oats being a cereal grain). Breakfast cereal is crunchy and served cold, neither of which applies to oatmeal (even overnight oats are cold but not crunchy).
HN seem to be a fan of oats, as am I.
I feel like you haven’t read a single one of my comments.
> It was a coup. It was primarily achieved through covert action, which by definition avoids yielding smoking guns that would cater to your personal, precise, technical definition of "coup", but given the totality of the circumstances we can only conclude that it was a coup.

What it seems like is that there isn't much evidence or sources. Anyone could claim anything was achieved through primary covert action and has not yielded any smoking guns or real evidence.

I could claim that all the coup hubbub was started by Russia as an attempt to ferment a civil war in Ukraine as a pretext for invading as achieved through covert action.

And when that failed they used there 'little green men' to start the civil war instead.
I used to love cereal, but the sugar content is too high, especially when it resorts to using high fructose corn syrup. I've tried to find other cereals that don't have as much or no sugar, but… It just feels overly manufactured and engineered. Not the cereal I grew up with.
Surprisingly, even if you return at the first iteration, it’s O(n) on V8 just to construct the iterator.
It contains protein and is low sugar (unless you cover it in honey and fruit everyday, but even then, at least you’d be getting some actual nutritional value)

For me, breakfast is obsolete.

I only eat between noon and 8PM, so I only eat lunch and dinner.

I do eat rolled oats on occasion though, about once a week when I don't have time to prepare my usual salad for lunch, I often stir in about a tbsp of cashew or almond butter.

Thank you for sharing this with us, I'm so glad for you! I can hardly express how amazing this development is to me! I had not heard about it before today.
Sorry if I'm missing something here. Maybe it is just too obvious and doesn't need to be stated? Maybe. I don't know but I don't see how we can avoid the elephant in the room when we talk about cereals.

I'm talking about the total fertility rate and how people like me refuse to have any children because society refuses to pay us to have children.

I think millennials and younger people should continue to hold out and have fewer (preferably zero) children until we get a more favorable deal from society. Right now individual parents pay way too much of the cost to raise children. I think if we can lower TFR to about one or less for a decade or two, we can get a much better deal.

Back to the topic, I think it is worth asking if cereal consumption is down simply because we have fewer children eating cereal than before. Is that not possible? Do adults eat cereal every morning?
Rather than be incredulous and faux-shocked, go look up cherenkov radiation.

A+. Kids come out with their own personalities which will grow and change in response to events. You can provide some of the events but not all. You can't really control how they change in response to those events. The idea that a child is a tabula rasa, fully shaped by the parent, is harmful to parents and children.
> German sociologist Max Weber was wondering the same question about a century ago and wrote a whole book about it called "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism".

Some criticisms on the idea, and especially this observation that the 'ethic' may have originated earlier than Protestantism:

> Andersen et al found that the location of monasteries of the Catholic Order of Cistercians, and specifically their density, highly correlated to this work ethic in later centuries;[37] ninety percent of these monasteries were founded before the year 1300 AD. Joseph Henrich found that this correlation extends right up to the twenty-first century.[38]

The banana is adding so much sugar that isn’t really that healthy. Fruit on cereal is sorta like loading up a salad with dressing, croutons and bacon bits.

Bananas in particular are pretty high in sugar, and other than potassium their nutrient density is nothing special.

Go gives you the illusion of simplicity because it gets rid of guard rails and error checking. If you remove all error checking, of course your code is going to look a lot simpler. It's also going to be a lot more wrong and crashy.

Wait until your code base grows, your team grows to >10 developers, and you will understand what I mean.

Java (and preferably Kotlin) are a lot more serious about making sure your code is robust before it compiles.

Yes, but as time goes on, new data is created that won't be in Common Crawl. Many of the troves of data it archived from in the past are now behind expensive paywalls that are priced with their multibillion dollar clients' access in mind.

If the dataset contains text from 2022, things that happen in 2023 and later won't be in it. The model will only get you so far, and new data, events, concepts, discoveries, etc will be absent.

If we trained models on all text generated up until 1900, for example, you could get it to produce some impressive results if just generating text is the goal. If the goal is to build something that imitates a more general AI, it wouldn't "know" about antibiotic treatments for common illnesses, modern vaccines, either World War, powered flight, transistors, computers, etc. It would only be useful for so much.
Oatmeal is cereal; and it comes in a range of sugariness, as does the kind of cereal intended to be eaten cold.

Me too, but if this is really just a way of saying "this shouldn't upset you", you should just say that. As stated, it comes across as condescending.
In my opinion orlistat (blocks fat absorption) isn't that bad if you actually follow the suggested low-fat diet. But if you're hoping to counteract a pint of ice cream, it's going to work tooooo well. The Public Relations was a nightmare... never stood a chance. The jokes were too good.

There are two kinds of leaks IMO. The one where your algorithm allocates gigabytes needlessly (and cannot be avoided by language design) and more insidious stuff like having to unsubscribe from an event handler for your object to be dereferenced.

Right, its within the space of breakfast cereal, not an alternative to it.
If you find yourself constantly reinventing the wheel when AWS offers a managed service that handles that for you, it might be time to switch to AWS. Some examples might be: writing a complicated postgres backup solution instead of using RDS Automated Backups, or running your own Kubernetes control plane instead of using EKS. But if you have an infrastructure that is easy for yourself to maintain, then spend your effort generating value elsewhere.

Depending on your current provider, there may be advantages moving your existing bare metal server to EC2. For example, what happens if the drive on your server fails? You'll probably need to write a backup script and write documentation on how to restore from it. If that happened to an EC2, AWS would just restart your instance on a new host and your EBS volume would come with it, and automated snapshots can be set up with a single click. Security groups are simpler to set up than configuring a Linux firewall. Lastly, EC2 has support for automated horizontal scaling with on-demand pricing and Spot instances. But none of these are a must-have, they are conveniences, and you pay a premium cost for it. Hetzner has servers with 64 GB memory for €37 per month, and a similarly-specced EC2 will easily be 10x that cost.
I think that was the point... it isn't an alternative to cereal because it IS a cereal
> but even then you can at least expect to boot year old Linux on a new PC even if it doesn't support the latest CPU scheduling optimizations for it or whatever.

It's still extremely common that booting a year-old distro on brand new hardware leaves you with a blank screen due to missing GPU drivers, or leaves you with unaccelerated graphics on par with what Asahi currently offers by default. And it's hardly unheard of to have issues with power management and even audio with new x86 platforms in recent years. Going a bit further back, Intel has been known to break NVMe and not require OEMs to offer a BIOS option to put the chipset in the standards-compliant mode.
Are you a time traveler from the 90s?
And less likely to break bones (butttttttt (pun intended?) less padding against impact). So maybe that part's a draw.

Don't change a thing. This is perfect.

It's a homozygous recessive disorder. If two carriers reproduce, there is a 25 percent chance the child has CF. If a woman with CF has children with a carrier, there is a 50 percent chance the child has CF and a 50 percent chance the child is a carrier.

Ninety-five percent of men with CF lack a vas deferens, leaving them effectively sterile. The medical community is understandably reluctant to assist two people with CF in reproducing together as their child is guaranteed to have CF.

If you are at risk of having a child with CF and know it, a best practice is to try to not conceive a child with CF.

I doubt taking a drug during pregnancy would prevent a male child from being born without a vas deferens and see no reason to care. Just try to not have a baby with CF. It's called a Dread Disease for a reason.
Ah, yes. Just like the thousands of generations of humanity who begat us, we should strike until our elders pay us to reproduce. Else, who is this "society" of which you write? Surely it's not those younger than us. So it must be us and our elders. And since we aren't going to pay ourselves to reproduce, I guess the bill then slides to our elders.

Perhaps this is the Great Filter–conscious species become so entitled, effete, and apathetic that they refuse to reproduce until they either fall back into the dark ages or go extinct.
Disagree. Unless we can create incentives for everyone to abstain, the poor and third-world countries are going to continue to reproduce at the same rates. The distribution will only get more skewed, and the deal will only get worse.
No problem!

I purchased a pair of Chelsea Boots from Churches of London in the late 90s and they still look great today!

I’ve had new soles a few times, and recent had a partial reconstruction; liners, pull tags and so on.

But I’ve had them 25 years and the actual boot leather is still fantastic!
Sounds like you've answered your own questions.
Okay, so, without pointing fingers, it's not even particularly weird or surprising that a few people gathered up from mostly the RE/console hacking/security scene have a penchant for breaking things and lack releng expertise. There's nothing especially wrong with that, though I'd consider it in itself good reason to side-eye relying on their software, more or less the same way I'd side-eye running suckless or, idk, MAS_AIO.cmd in production.

What convinced me to consider Java just recently is GraalVM. I don't know about the "dirty" part, but at least GraalVM might solve the "bloated" part. Compiling to native standalone executables makes a big difference to what Java is traditionally known for (portable bytecode but requiring the JVM). Been using C++ and C# for a long time now, and my pet peeves with these languages were also only just addressed relatively recently (C++ getting modules and native AOT for C#). Java being able to get natively compiled makes it worth considering among these. Now, for me, it's a matter of what other frameworks/libraries available for the respective languages would get the job done while I only have to rewrite little to switch among them if I try my best to stay within their syntax overlap.
Aside from all the sugar, carbs and being overpriced, consuming milk like that as an adult is just weird. Since I don't have kids, I only have a small carton for coffee and the occasional bechamel sauce or baking.
I solved that by integrating nutritional yeast into all of my cooking. You can sneak a bit into almost everything.
It's ridiculously expensive because it's a rare disease.

The total investment to bring this drug to market is in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars. Recouping that expense when there are only hundreds of patients in the US or thousands across the global requires a price that is far higher than normal medications.

Then layer on top the 1 in 20 chance that a drug actually makes it to market after that investment and the math starts to make sense.
It is that hard - you just handwaved all the hard parts. Most of the world is effectively destitute, making <$10k/annum [0]. The vast majority are willing to work very hard for small opportunities to benefit themselves. We're only seeing pockets of economic success in Asia as people copy their neighbors policies. And Deng's reforms ... you handwaved them. What were they? How many good 50 page reports are floating around that actually go in to them? We're talking 50+ years of economic policy between Deng and today, I expect a bit more than just a few Wikipedia links on this one. Even a decade of economic policy across China is a complex subject, China is huge and diverse.

And these massive subsidies - what evidence do we really have? Massive subsidies have not worked well outside of China. What magic is happening in there that makes them effective? Pre-1970 we had a series of superpowers that were effective because they avoided massive subsidies and let failures fail. China can't even afford massive subsidies for most of the period that mattered. The US government's spending might have been bigger than the Chinese economy for a lot of that period, and the companies the US has been subsidising aren't showing any of the vigour that the Chinese ones are.

People have been screaming from the rooftops for years that the IP edifice is going to reduce innovation in the West. The question is why we subject ourselves to that madness. The amount of cultural destruction in not allowing 1900s works to spread freely is a tragedy, let alone the impact on science and technology. So certainly in theory I agree that the Chinese are getting a leg up here, but it'd be nice to see some analysis. And the problem isn't the Chinese attitudes to IP; that is the solution.

But to emphasis "it isn't that hard" to gloss over decades of highly successful economic policy is just not true. It isn't a serious attitude. If people in leadership positions hold that attitude the situation will worsen.

You can definitely avoid the hyperscalers, but unless your ops are very simple, you'll end up paying for it with the cost of managing your infra yourself. Think about resiliency for example. What happens if the DC you're in goes down? Have you got another DC to direct traffic at? Do you need that? These sorts of questions are the ones that being in "the cloud" makes simpler to answer. I'm of the opinion that not every app needs 99.99999% uptime and not every app needs to be in the cloud though, so godspeed to you should you continue with this approach. There's no technical reason why you can't dramatically scale from this point.

Paying you to have children seems a bit much, potentially creating dangerous incentives. On the other hand, figuring out a way for people to be better off and not think about it so much due to basic responsibility sounds way better. Of course, good luck to policymakers with that one.

This isn't how music royalties work - rather, Spotify (and most other on demand streaming services) pay out a % of their net revenue to rights holders. This % does not change based on how many streams there are in total, but it IS distributed proportionally based on the number of streams, so it's more profitable for a music rightsholder to have more streams (the topic of the article).

Some high level information: https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/royalties/
