That's ironic, as being lighter would actually be an advantage (makes them less likely to fall out on sudden movements).

A wide angle lets you image something like the Andromeda galaxy or nebula all at once in the same frame.

A narrow angle is more "zoomed in" so to image a larger structure you'll need a lot of exposures and build a mosaic. It takes a lot longer which means you have to monopolize the instrument for a long time.

If you want to image large structures like galaxy clusters a wide angle telescope is more efficient. Since the lifetimes of telescopes are limited (fuel, coolant, etc) you want to spend that time getting the most data out of the instruments.
They are. If you're using a dependency you're using your dependency dependencies, there's no way around it.

If it matters to you, you don't have the same priority as your dependency's author anyway and probably shouldn't be using it in the first place, and it has nothing to do with async.
Show HN: An AI-based web scraper that works on any website
I made a Chrome extension that can scrape any website, using AI.

There's two steps. First, you set up the questions you want to ask about a website. Lets say you are scraping Github repos. Your questions might be "What is the language used in this repo" and "How many stars does it have".

Then, you visit that website and click a button in the Chrome extension. FetchFox sends a request to GPT-4 of the innerHTML of the website, and it gets back the answers. If it can't find the answer, it says so.

I built this tool because I do a lot of webscraping, and I often run into a few problems: websites with complicated obfuscated HTML, difficult to parse API responses on SPA's, and of course IP blocking and anti-scraping measures. This Chrome extension does an end run around all of those.

Right now you can only use it for small scale scraping jobs, but I'd love to get the community's feedback on how this can be made more useful.
I agree, there's questions that need to be answered, and I don't know that I even have answers to give to them.

I will say, that its clear, to me and a good portion of Rust users, that async in Rust needs DX improvements. Its one of the top features of the language that is used alot and people struggle with often[0]

[0]: To be fair, async in any language trips up developers pretty often, though I think Rust can give someone a particularly bad time. Granted, I have not compared it to C / C++ as I don't do any development in either language currently
That's how T-Mobile got into the US market in the first place - by buying and merging with (failing) network operators a dozen times over and fixing their operations. It's literally their thing.
I bought a Framework 13 when it first came out, with exactly this hope. I gave up after about one month of madness and ordered an M1 Max Macbook Pro. I also installed Windows on the Framework with WSL. Now it gets used very rarely (like for when I want to do Windows development, or for my parents to use when they visit) and mostly sits around gathering dust.

Desktop linux has burned me one too many times for me to trust it again.

Nah, Lysergsäurediethylamid.
I'm not sure "percentage of usage" is a metric you can use to fully decide how "useful" something is. Take macros in Clojure for example, usually you just have a few of those, but the ones you have are really useful, they give a lot of functionality and practicality to the language. Maybe the same thing is happening with sync/async generators?

> People outside of a city enforcing their terms on a place they don’t live is tyranny actually.

This is ludicrous. Just like no man is an island, no city is self contained. Should the city be able to dump whatever pollutants into the river it sits on? Burn whatever, whenever as much as they want? Nobody else gets a say?

Other people share the same regional, state, and national identities with people who live in the city, should those people not get a say in how the place they actually live is run?

There's just one thing though, they hate everything. Yeah, literally everything.

I'm sure crowded is far off, but it's still interesting to think how they interfere with each other's instrumentations (given the field of vision is immense in comparison to their size), is there some type of space control traffic involved?
No at all, you are absolutely correct and what you describe is known as omega-consistency!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A9-consistent_theory

However, your description is just another way of saying what I'm saying about nonstandard numbers. From outside of the theory you can prove P(1), P(2), P(n) for any N that is an actual natural number, but from inside of the theory you can't do that. Why not? Because from inside of the theory there is a model that is completely consistent with Peano arithmetic but contains some object E that is greater than any standard natural number. The theory can not eliminate the existence of this E and in fact it's possible to construct an E such that P(E) is false.

Just a couple of weeks ago I saw a video of a guy who got internally decapitated by the barbell during a high bar squat because he leaned forward and came up onto his toes rather than sitting back.

That's a freak accident, and it's certainly turned out that stuff like deadlift hyperextension is not nearly as dangerous as originally thought, but "form" also means "keeping the bar path under control and in a safe range".

Just because most people have figured that out before they graduate to handling potentially dangerous weights doesn't mean it's not still a critical piece of the safety equation.
> A lot of 'technical copying' actually is permitted by EU laws or US Fair use arguments.

US fair use analysis includes purpose, so copying which would be fair use for one purpose can cease to be when the purpose changes.

Since this is a case under US law, and the US is not currently a member of the EU, EU law is somewhat tangential.
> Mentioning "I have 2 offers, I've had 100% offers for every interview so far, and btw I'm interviewing at a FAANG tomorrow." - that will perk up some interest and can elicit a pro-active better offer.

It's also a risky maneuver. There are a lot of companies that will immediately, as a matter of policy, reply "then take one of those offers".

That's not to say it isn't a gamble worth taking, of course. Just that it comes with some risk.

FWIW, that's not correct. The tenth amendment is a limitation on unenumerated powers. It says nothing about precedence of conflicting powers where those are enumerated. That's what the Supremacy clause is about, and it's abundantly clear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause

Not that it really matters here, since the relevant conflict is between state and municipal law. But the 10th amendment tends to be pretty badly misunderstood by internet libertarians, so it was an interesting digression.

I expect your idea of "reasonable speed" does not align well with the actual average speed of travelers along the route. The only time I see this ETA creeping behavior is when I'm on long a long trip, not in a hurry, and I intentionally drive at the speed limit instead of at the average speed of traffic to conserve fuel.

A navigation app that estimated based solely off of the posted speed limits would be utterly useless for 99% of all drivers. Ideally the app would learn from your actual driving habits and adapt based on them, but I don't know if any of the big 3 do that.

When you want to ship features that essentially will have to be maintained forever, and can't be meaningfully changed after shipping, you don't rush into things without a strong belief that you've gotten things as right as you can.

Consider the bit in OP about wanting to add a Move trait and deprecate Pin, and reverse the semantics so types are immovable by default. That's a difficult change to make now, after async has been stabilized. Obviously in this case the longer, deliberate process didn't save them from this (apparent) mistake, but overall new big language features should never be rushed.

> For example, this "four year plan" should be implemented in 6 months at most, not 4 years.

Now that just sounds reckless to me.
If my memory serves me right, there was quite a bit of discussion about this paper on twitter and François Chollet pointed out that linear interpolation in these vector spaces is far from the conceptual interpolation and data points might not even land on the desired manifold. So this paper is not as deeply insightful/strongly relevant as it might sound.

Yeah, I don't think you have much experience with this, and I do. Again, it's extremely convenient to know that your coworking space will be ready and waiting for you, without the need to sign contracts, input wi-fi passwords, get a tour of the building, on and on. You just walk in, scan your card, and you're go to go. The wi-fi connects automatically at every location.

It's also extremely unlikely that local coworking spaces in random countries around the world can be relied on to have robust contracts in English.

People with stuff to do don't want to waste time figuring out the nuances of a dozen different coworking spots. This is the entire use case for half of the hotel industry and why chains like Holiday Inn or Marriott exist.

Your cost argument also doesn't make much sense either, as if anything, using a service like Regus or WeWork is cheaper because you get both the travel benefits and the local space for the same price. You don't need to sign up for a separate coworking space and pay a separate fee for every place you visit. I get access to thousands of Regus locations around the world with my single flat fee.

In terms of actual monthly prices, I pay about 1/3 more than I would at a comparable local coworking space. Not double.

So yes, for a slightly larger fee (something like $150 more per month), that extra stuff is worth it.
No, though Gnome really isn't set up for it. Or being useful, really. But on my Framework 13 with KDE I have no issues. I prefer 1.25x when standalone and 1.5x when docked and used as a second screen (it's farther away) and KDE works fine with both and switches automatically. I don't even think about it, and can't think of anything I personally use that still gives me the blurry window in xwayland issue.

The real trouble is this idiotic concept of "scale" in the first place as if ancient assumptions about pixel density cannot change. It's nothing to draw vector elements or fonts larger, and it's next to nothing to have more than one size of display element (tiny) users could select from.

The only way to make Gnome usable is to use the accessability options

This. Over two decades, I have yet to see new senior management who didn't feel compelled to 'make their mark' on their new territory by changing something significant. Occassionally, they'll actually do something useful, but usually they take something that worked and break it.
By the time things are useful, you start noticing a proportion of colleagues using them (or the tools are imposed on you by your company). If it's not the case, the tools are probably not mature enough or just passing fads.
That price point seems about right to me. I just signed up to The Economist Podcasts+ for a similar price because I listen to virtually every piece of content they produce. Sure it's just one publication but it's an excellent one in my opinion. If these folks think they can bring a similar level of value, go for it. I personally wouldn't pay a single solitary cent for people to write about video games but that's just my personal preference.

The little iPhone cube chargers are so cute and practical, but: Is it a real one, or a dangerously cost-reduced fake?

I'm a consumer that wants 5G. There are many rural consumers that make use of 5G based internet.

And the 5G you are speaking of is mmwave. Mid-band 5G is perfectly useable and a significant improvement over LTE. Verizon and T-Mobile push over 1Gb/s over mid-band 5G at the same reach LTE provides and much less latency. mmwave you can get up to 4Gb/s (at short distances). Even more so when Verizon moves rolls out SA 5G in place of the current NSA 5G.
1. Many people would have no problem with not stopping there.
2. If we do want lines, we can say people decide on local matters. Which is the primary argument for why this kind of NIMBYism should not be allowed -- it is negatively impacting the surrounding area, and this deserves to be controlled by the larger group (city, state, etc). Beyond the state, and certainly the country level, it is fairly easy to argue for a line at that point under this logic, as the impact is far less direct.
You always can extrapolate. E.g. linear approximation for x^2 by 2 points will extrapolate reasonably well around these 2 points but will be bad with x -> +/- infinity. Similarly, there are examples where GPT invented legal cases when asked to create a legal brief.

> careful what you wish for here, see: NPM / Node ecosystem)

Just to be clear, I think the NPM ecosystem is generally great and a massive success. People totally overblow the issues, and none of them are actually because of a small std library or due to the ease of install/publish.

> however, it is worth identifying when something is becoming / has become / is considered to be such a core feature of the ecosystem that it would benefit greatly from stdlib support,

I agree, and I think that there are a few places with regards to async that could work well here. Maybe some kind of Executor trait (hard, but maybe possible?), probably `std::block_on`.

> see all the talk about async Rust in the communicate,

FWIW I think the majority of people are just happily doing async work in Rust and don't get too involved in the discussions. I'm one of those people, except I'm also an internet addict on extended PTO so here I am.

> All this is to say, maybe its time to seriously start thinking about what first party support will look if we bring in a first party async / non-blocking I/O platform into the stdlib

I agree, I think some of this is best done in the language but some should be in std. No question.

I mean, I want 5G when I go travel without needing to pay extra, and that happens right now. I don't want to pay roaming charges just because I fly to Detroit or a small town in Missouri.

I'm not taking any line, I'm describing the basic principles of representative democracy.

The US is a little bit of an outlier in having a federal system so there are some limits to what Congress can do, but there aren't to what a state can do, and some of our states (like CA and NY) are the size of countries themselves.

I'm not saying the majority of zoning decisions should be taken at the state/country level -- that would be ludicrous simply from an organizational standpoint.

I'm simply describing that states are perfectly free to override local decisions whenever necessary, with full democratic legitimacy. How do you think the interstate highway system got built?

I’ve never heard of a company pulling an offer because a candidate was applying somewhere else.

As a hiring manager, I’ve certainly never done it, because I basically don’t care where else you’re considering working. I’ll put our situation (project, team, comp, culture, etc) forward and you decide if you think it’s your best option. We might negotiate a tiny amount, but if you find a place that’s a lot better for you, you should go there, but I’m not pulling back the offer we made.
It's also how it works in Rust. Stable Rust isn't allowed to use generators, but the code that desugars `async fn` is, because it's part of the compiler.
Deskwork efficiency has never been a challenge in my work or in my career. My productivity is usually paced to some client or collaborator already, so getting a little bit mode done in my time doesn't win me much but a longer wait at that gate. That's been consistently the case for nearly 25+ years.

So no, I don't invest a lot of attention in further optimizing how quickly I get my work done. If anything, I'd rather invest that attention in strengthening the routines and practices of my work so that it demands less conscious attention as I do it, at no loss of quality. Write a module 5% faster? Doesn't matter to anyone. Leave a workday refreshed and ripe because I've mastered my tools and workflows? Huge win for me.
