Thanks for writing the comment I was going to.

I'll echo your point about loving programming in Rust. I've programmed and continue to program in other languages (Java, PHP, Go), but nothing gives me the same joy as programming in Rust. I know it'll run the first time and likely work correctly as well. And what's more, it'll be faster than any code I could have written in another language.

Not everyone will feel this way, certainly. They, like GP, might come to this bizarre conclusion that noone could like Rust this much, and therefore there is a shadowy cabal promoting Rust for unknown reasons. I don't think there's much we can say to convince them otherwise.

But one thing I do when I see folks complaining that they've never seen such promotion on HN ever. I click on their profile to check how old their account is. Invariably it's 2016 or later. Which means they never saw the cycles of Ruby, JS and Go promotion. This will come and go. In a few years we'll be complaining about, I don't know, the relentless promotion of Mojo.
My favorite RSS reader is Feedbro in Firefox, maybe on the minimal side but exactly what I need.
People are not concerned with hard drive failures anymore. These days, wallets are only signing devices into which you put your 12-word phrase and sign transactions. You can throw away the hardware wallet or format your hard drive afterwards. The only thing that counts is the 12-word phrase.

That's not a proper loop, because those the regular people who are shareholders don't answer to their work-bosses about any vote they might do as a shareholder.

AMD could have used CR5 instead of CR8 too. Both could (and probably should have) used an MSR for those bits. Numbers are just numbers. I really don't think there's need for much speculation here.

There should at least be a power function for water prices where using more water costs more and more to disincentivize waste.

Funny. That was the EXACT advice / instruction we got from management when I was in such a team. It had already been going on for years when I went there, to the point where half of the team (the ones not involved in the clashes) rotated out on a yearly basis.
I’m interested to see this happen but “as soon as” approximately June 2024 doesn’t feel that soon. It’s about as far from today as today is from the launch of GPT-4. Think of everything that’s happened since then. And things only seem to be speeding up. Still, I welcome a Siri that’s useful beyond setting timers.
It isn't. The Steam Deck 2 is still being worked on, and some time away.

There’s a great opinion article from a doctor that says people faced with death that come into a hospital usually change their minds about receiving care that would prolong their lives.

I have seen this many times as a caretaker for my own family members.

It’s only at the doorstep of death that we know how we truly feel about death itself.

Ask HN: Software Fallacy for Social Problems?
Today was a productive day. I traced down two complex problems that had been nagging me for the past week, down to their roots and implemented a solution.

These solutions were a few line diffs at best, but made all the difference in the world as they rippled up the dependency chain.

A colleague of mine had a problem with a certain biokit, with measurements defying all expectations, but with time she too traced it down to a single small flaw that she promptly fixed.

What I'm getting at:

- It seems that large difficult problems seem to have very tiny solutions

What I'm asking:

- In the case of science/engineering, the solutions to macro problems are easy to fix once known.

- Does this same principle apply to global social problems in the world? Or is this just a fallacy of the strong dependable and reproducible frameworks we are used to when debugging, and has no basis in reality whatsoever?
I'd argue the steam deck is equivalent if not better for couch co-op! You get to connect pretty much any bluetooth controller to it at the same time, you can pair a ps4 controller, a ps5 controller, an xbox controller and a google stadia controller, and they all work flawlessly.

(Of course, the switch has the nintendo first party library of party games, which is worth a lot)

People really want Rust to be popular because people really like writing Rust. There is no campaign, no background force. There's some intelligence to it - people know to post something like this on a Friday morning, and not a Thursday night, but that's it.

Not at all, quantum mechanics is based on Aristotle's ideas. The postulate of wavefunction collapse is proposed ad hoc solely to explain one observed phenomenon and not connected to the rest of the theory. It's similar to Aristotle's postulate that stars are made of aether which naturally tends to move in circles around the heavens, this nicely explains motion of stars in geocentric model, and is postulated just for this. The postulate of wavefunction collapse is justified as directly observable phenomenon, anything else is thus not supported by observation. Aristotle used the same argument: that geocentrism is directly observable, thus heliocentrism is not supported by observation.

You're right that science can be done better, but that's the state of modern science.
Interestingly we’re coming full circle back to the 2007 approach to mobile, when each vendor was trying to build their own Linux variant.

There was Nokia with Maemo; the Japanese corporation Access was building the “next generation of PalmOS” on Linux [1]; and many others besides. Android killed them all.

Now companies like Amazon who have invested heavily into customized Android are finding that their interests are so diverged from the Google-managed mainline that it might be easier to switch to a custom Linux. Something similar happened with Huawei (aka Honor) and their Harmony OS, though with extra geopolitical pressures.

This kind of “cycle of reincarnation” is common in the tech industry, as specialization and generalization alternate between occasional disruptions. It’s often fascinating to watch.

That's pretty much the objective of SICL, which is "intentionally divided into many implementation-independent modules that are written in a totally or near-totally portable way, so as to allow other implementations to incorporate these modules from SICL, rather than having to maintain their own, perhaps implementation-specific versions".

> LTO was available in llvm forever, and well predates GCC, clang is just a particular frontend.

For the initial version of this guide, I chose to focus on features as they are exposed in specific tools, as it's easier to pin down a "first available" date that way. Basic LTO for Clang is listed as first available in Clang 2.6, which is also the first LLVM release to officially include Clang.

> It also misses the function summary vs non summary modes, which is fairly important.

Are you talking about the module summaries LLVM uses in its parallel / thin LTO mode, or something else?

It sounds like the new Outlook is a thin wrapper around the cloud version, so the IMAP sync happens in the cloud, not locally. I wonder how MS is supposed to do this without having the remote IMAP password transmitted to the cloud version of Outlook.

This sounds less like "Microsoft steals your data" and more like "Microsoft replaced Desktop Outlook with OWA".
As others have noted 2 feet is the low end of the estimate, but the threat isn't just from land lost to sea level rise, that's the.

The first thing you'll notice living in Florida is coastal flooding, but the imminent and more pressing danger is salt water intrusion. You don't need to cover all the surface of land with water for that happen. If sea levels rise only 2 feet the fresh water sources along the coasts are threatened from salt water coming in from the sides. Florida is particularly vulnerable because it has very porous limestone geology. This geology allows for deeper interior advancement of salt water compared to other coastal areas, meaning less sea level rise is required for large fresh water impacts

Here's a good visualization on what salt water intrusion is https://blogs.egu.eu/network/gfgd/2018/02/12/saltwater-intru...

Some examples are divirtualization across dynamic libraries, or code inlining, which is quite basic stuff for those implementations.

Here is a 2015 paper for OpenJDK,

https://cr.openjdk.org/~vlivanov/talks/2015_JIT_Overview.pdf

Modern ART has a bit of everything, Assembly written interpreter for fast startup, followed by a JIT stage with PGO capabilities, followed by an AOT compiler that AOT compiles (with LTO) when the device is idle, and uploading PGO data into the Play Store, so that incrementally the same devices collaborate to the optimal PGO data set.

I have two monitors connected to M1 mac.

One works perfectly fine and is automatically RGB. Other flickers and when changing to RGB mode it is lime green.

Wonder why it is not problem with Intel Macs and if M3 fixes those bugs?

Maybe it is Apples feature to sell more of their own monitors.

They make sure other high end brands do not work with macOS.

It does not make sense that this kind of bug is 3 years active.

Please don't take that as an offence, but please name at least 5 or 10 (which aren't "just" compiled to JS, I've actually forgotten about them ;). I've only heard about Elixir and Verse (yes, because of SPJ) which actually are somewhat used "in the wild".

But my point is exactly that Rust _is_ really an outsider by being significantly better than the (many or not so many does not matter that much ;) alternatives to C++.

This post and this comment section both feel to me like they’re from a parallel universe where no one knows that LOC isn’t a measure of quality but a cost. You want to keep it as low as possible while solving the problem at hand. As a matter of fact, you can often increase the quality of the product by removing code.

Typing fast won’t make you a better programmer. It will only encourage you to type before you think. It is amazing how much can be done with how little code if you give your brain a chance to actually process what you’re doing. I highly recommend it.

Volatility is steadily going down.

The only "stability" crypto has is due to stable coins --- unaudited, unregulated and likely fictitious ties (can you prove otherwise?) to fiat -- the very thing it is designed to replace.

In other words, any stability is an illusion --- it's built on circular logic.

Fix stablecoins --- either eliminate them or audit/regulate them --- not some BS, non-binding attestation that can evaporate the next day. Make redemption a legally binding contract --- not subject to the whims of con artists.

Do this and then we can talk about stability and putting our life savings in crypto.

Ironically Android started out with JavaScript, and due to performance they pivoted into Java, if I remember correctly.

I bet it will be the usual mostly written in C++, with JavaScript as kind of GUI markup language, actually.

I filed a GDPR complaint regarding this when they released it on Mac, because it is not transparent what data Microsoft stores when you stop fetching email over their Exchange proxy. This was their response, after 3 months...

• How long is mail data fetched from the non-Microsoft server retained? On 31st day of user inactivity we mark the account for removal. The account is soft deleted, and the data is purged within a week (approximately) after that.

• What happens with an account that is no longer being used? Does the service continue fetching and “enhancing” mail data or does it happen on demand when a user opens Outlook? - If the user is not signing into the 3rd party accounts using outlook mobile, Teams for life or Outlook for Mac. We stop syncing any data after 7 days and mark the account for deletion after 30 days.

• How do I know what data the service holds? - Service holds Mail, Calendar, contacts data and profile data for the user (User provides consent to collect this data during add account flow).

• How can I make sure data is no longer retained? (e.g., does logging out from Outlook delete the mail data and credentials?) - When removing the account in Mac you can choose to "Sign Out On All Devices" which deletes the mailbox from the Microsoft Cloud (Exchange-backed mailbox where the third-party account is being synced).

I also filed a complaint about not making it clear if data is required for processing (Article 13, Section 2(e) [1]) - but the supervisory authority ignored me on that one.

If only Elon was actually advancing actual humanity, and not just his own narrow idea of what humanity should be.

Also, trying to establish a self-sustaining base on Mars right now is short-sighted and a tremendous waste of energy and material.

Also also, how you do a thing is (often) as important as doing the thing itself, we're still suffering the consequences of last centuries megalomaniacal claims to be advancing humanity at the expense of a few people.

And just in case someone mentions something like D-Day, I doubt any of Elon's workers signed on to sacrifice their bodies to "save humanity" in the same way the Allies signed up (or consented to be drafted) to save Europe.
