You have 1ms pauses easily from simply the OS context-switching away from your program, so as I mentioned, unless you explicitly tune your OS, you have this kind of pauses, no matter the language, even if it’s hand-written assembly.

Regarding the non-normal language: with hard real-time you wouldn’t want to allocate willy-nilly and rust doesn’t yet have generics for allocators (correct me if I’m wrong on this, I am not up-to-date here), so careless usage of the standard lib, or other crates is a no-go. For illustrative purposes, this is the same with C++ and `noexcept`.

> Some slippery definitions here

I don’t see the slippery part - it is a slope, though. Depending on what’s the latency requirements and to what percentile should it happen, you can use Rust (and other low-level languages) on the lower end (audio processing), some managed languages in the middle (many kind of games are absolutely fine with that - a single drop of frame is more than fine, hence the soft rt), and pretty much any managed language on the high end.
Yep, this headline is similarly problematic:

> Gaze Stabilization in a Moving World
That only partially diminishes the point. It has been in effect for the vast majority of the duration of the war and is obviously worth considering, instead of downvoting into oblivion without even offering a response.
I don’t think that’s how the end of ICE vehicles will happen.

It’ll be death by a thousand cuts. New ICE vehicles will be increasingly rare in showrooms. There will be bans in city centres. Gas stations will start to disappear. Those that remain will be required to sell blends with increasing amounts of non-fossil derived gasoline, which will be considerably more expensive than current prices, and far more expensive to run.

Eventually, driving ICE vehicles will be like horse riding today - a niche, expensive, smelly hobby that is conducted well outside city limits.
> And all those extra workers that have been hired? Well, they came from working on other things. Things that aren't getting done anymore -- or the people that replaced some of them came from yet other things that now aren't getting done, that aren't benefiting people and businesses in the US.

This effect is so negligible it’s not even worth calling out.
The time it takes to multiply two numbers was cut down to nlogn in 2019?

My personal opinion, as a foss developer who does more than 90% of the commits on a relatively complicated Web aplication, is: NEVER. I have committed myself to supporting every browser in every configuration, because anything less is non-inclusive and assumptive about the user's abilities and capabilities. I will always bend over backwards to accommodate every user, because I want the experience of visiting my websites to be like that of a luxury hotel that caters to every need, rather than project housing or prison that forces to conform. I also think it is rather rude to assume that the user can change anything about their setup. I think of this type of accommodation as wheelchair ramps, which serve only a small demographic, but are pretty much universally agreed upon as being necessary.

And yes, I support Internet Explorer, Lynx, and NetSurf.
If it was never used, how "in effect" was it really?

I also can't see any support for the assertion that this would've meant US ownership of bits of Ukraine. WWII's Lend-Lease was a legal fiction; the lended (at no cost) weapons, vehicles, etc. were expected to wind up expended/destroyed, not returned.

Not asking sarcastically, just curious when schools started moving forwards with these things. The decentralised nature of thinking is something that's only been presented to me with a biological basis in the past few years. Would love to know who was agead of the curve, how so, and why!
I wish it was open source.
> Then it's their fault

Nobody said anything about fault or added any moral claims.

Instead it is merely that another job is unfilled.

This is an argument about economics, not anything to do with who owes who, which is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
What advantage does this have over a debugger?

In general every order of magnitude brings new challenges. Companies running over a million servers have a lot of problems that smaller ones don't. Also they just have more room to amortize R&D.

The key is not to focus on “what” needs documenting, but “how” someone will use your documentation: to get set up, to consume an api, to modify behavior, etc. If you write with the goal to help someone with X problem do Y to solve it, the empathy problem becomes a bit more tractable.
I don't think it's harsh language, it's just factual.

I actually think it's more interesting why child-free people would consider it harsh or react sensitively to it, at least when it's a conscious choice.
That is, if the equipment is actually being sent. We're getting what would've been replaced anyway and even then only scraps. Bradleys are being cut down and decommissioned as we speak instead of being sent here.

The whole policy is to bleed ruskieland as much as possible at the cost of hundreds of thousands of our military personnel and civilian lives (just Mariupol alone is likely above 100k of the population dead), and a broken shell of a country if we manage to somehow survive.
Check the link I posted, it has storage cost curves, too,

Your second link has prices, not generation costs which is a much more difficult thing to compare. Inflation isn't specific to nuclear and regulations will continue to be part of nuclear.

Over time, cheaper generation should win out - absent interventions - so nuclear isn't in a great place to start.
> You are not owed employees

That's a fine response to a person complaining that specific jobs are lacking workers.

The idea that as a total statistic there are fewer normal jobs getting filled is a different thing entirely.

Bullshit.

>But then all those resulting weapons and tanks are being sent to Ukraine. They're not staying in the USA.

They don't need to stay in the USA. Most of those weapons systems are not even particularly relevant to the US' needs right now. Some are even literally expired, or near their expiration date.

The US has thousands of tanks and thousands of armored fighting vehicles stockpiled as well as thousands of MRAPs left over from various occupations in the Middle East. Not only do we not need more of them, but those weapons were designed, and built, primarily to counter a scenario in which Russia (/ USSR) invaded Europe. And that's now happening. They will be of very little use in the Pacific, and will be of no use whatsoever if they just sit in the desert for another 20 years.

So if you want to talk about opportunity costs, that should be part of the calculation.

> And all those extra workers that have been hired? Well, they came from working on other things. Things that aren't getting done anymore -- or the people that replaced some of them came from yet other things that now aren't getting done, that aren't benefiting people and businesses in the US.

Wrong. People, and jobs, are not 100% liquid. People doing manufacturing jobs can't immediately retrain to be software engineers. And I don't know if you've noticed, but there are a lot of people who worked in manufacturing struggling to get by in an economy that has globalized manufacturing out of the US.

You may have also heard that the US is now trying to get repatriate some of that critical manufacturing back to the US. Defense spending is a good way to keep those skills and supply chains viable.

> So no, there's no reasonable sense in which the money is "staying in the USA", in the sense of having our cake and eating it too. It's being spent on hardware that is sent to Ukraine. And we are losing out on all of the products and services that we would have built instead. All of that value is gone. Because it got shipped to Ukraine instead.

Since you're so interested in opportunity costs, how about we have a discussion about the opportunity costs of allowing Russia to successfully invade their neighbors? The political opportunity costs of failing to help a nation which we had strongarmed into giving up their nuclear weapons in the 1990s, and the subsequent risk of increased nuclear proliferation? The opportunity costs of dealing with the situation now rather than later, with more land and population at their disposal (1938 Czechoslovakia says hello)?

This is a rare occurrence of a scenario where it is in our interests to help Ukraine, while being the moral thing to do, while also being an insanely efficient use of resources comparatively speaking. Certainly far moreso than the 20 years spent in the middle east.
There is a small, but influential component of the "oh my gerdz, carbon bad!" crowd that hate nuclear. They're careful not to argue on the merits, as they'd be exposed as the ridiculous supervillains that they are.

They don't want humanity to have absurd amounts of energy. They believe in an ascetic philosophy where, should there be any humans still around at all, they should be suffering with whatever the minimum amount of energy is that they can get away with. They don't want you to be able to drive anywhere. Small little walkable cities, that no one can hope to escape from.
Yes, some shit comes built-in.
Because that one is apparently unrelated to GraphQL. Horrible naming.
It seems like there's a very minor error under the "Why use this?" section:

assert_gt!(value1, value2); // value1 ≥ value2

That should be ">" rather than "≥". (Or "assert_ge" rather than "assert_gt".)
Because money is being spent.

If you spend 1 billion on salaries then you can put compete someone else for labor. The trick to understand is it isn’t companies paying 50$/hour jobs being unable to find anyone because some company is paying 51$/hour. Instead companies paying ~15$/hour who can’t entice anyone because a long chain of people ended up with slightly better paying jobs because better candidates went elsewhere. Or at least it ends up that way long term, new factories can suck up all the local welders/etc temporarily, but then people learn those in demand skills or move etc.

What could you possibly mean? Blame Russia for Ukrainian casualties.
As far as I can tell, all they're actually promising is a way to enable lucid dreaming. Nothing do to with work at all.

Only somehow they've decided that the best way to market is "you can have a lucid dreamland where you can do anything you want inside your head, and that means you can think about work all night."

Which is utterly baffling. Who's the target market for this claim? Billionaire venture capitalists who want to make their staff work all night and also don't pay enough attention to funding applications before signing them?
Maybe you don't have to encode everything in the type system?

Also: Maybe not everything goes in the compiler?
Agreed, completely. This is all upside for us. We get rid of our outdated weapons, refresh our defense production base, support an ally, defend Europe, and stick a finger in the eye of a rival who tried to mess with our elections. We come out of this stronger and more popular with the countries that matter. Because Ukraine has greatly exceeded expectations, China also gets a lesson about how we back our allies.
The question is regret at what stage of life? I'm sure plenty of parents feel stressed out waking up at night with a newborn baby.

But once their kids are grown up and accomplishing things that make them proud, I doubt most parents regret that.

It's like studying to be a doctor: years of tough work, but usually followed by even more years of reaping the rewards for that work.
Universe scale i guess.
Personally I love being a dad. It gave me meaning way beyond anything I’d experienced so far in life. I still love to work. I still love to see friends. But being a parent is like nothing else.

I read a blog a while ago that sums this up so well (sorry I can’t find it so I will paraphrase)…

What you think parenting is and what it’s actually are not the same at all. There’s this whole extra level that you only get when someone relies on you totally and when you have to do all the inbetween bits.

I personally love it.

But even saying that I totally believe that you can have an excellent life without kids. Just the sleep alone! And modern life is really set up to fuck with parents.
Fusion's biggest problem is that the Sierra Club and other similar environmentalist groups hate it.

No silver bullet technology can fix that.
Yeah ICP/Dfinity was one of the originals to target cloud computing on a blockchain platform, with one of the biggest budgets, highest profile backers (A16Z), and strongest engineering teams in the business (they poached IBM Zurich’s research lab). But it’s not taking off. The concept seems either not viable for reasons, or its too ahead of its time. Anyone attempting a new version needs a clear value proposition that’s different from prior attempts.
Yeah, its a pretty bald faced assertion.
What difference does it make if covid causes it? Most people took the vaccine, pretty much everybody got covid anyway. The vaccine was voluntary (with a lot of unethical coercion).
Ask HN: "Guest poster" trying to advertise on my site, what should I charge?
I run fiction.live, which is a pretty successful website but hemorrhaging money. I really need some income. Also looking for co-founders.

I get emails from 2-3 unknown people per week asking to "guest post" articles on my website. I have no idea how to respond to them. Any advice?

Sample email:

Good day! Are you looking for contributors to write for your website right now? If so, I’d love to send some good-quality content your way. Please, let me know if you are interested and what conditions I should meet
for posting on your site?

- Which link can I add: Dofollow or Nofollow? How many links can be
placed in an article? How much should I pay for an additional link?

- Will the post be tagged "sponsored"?

- How long can a publication be posted?

- What language should the article be written in?

- Now I'm looking for sites to post an article on a general topic. But
I’ll ask in the future, can you offer link insertion or post articles
on the topic of casino /gambling/crypto/loans? What is the price ?--

What should I say? If I allow perma follow links would that hurt my Google ratings?
I honestly find it puzzling. My day job is far more stressful on a daily basis than parenting is.

Being a parent must be a lot harder in the US, otherwise I can't explain it to myself.
Snap also has a way to open a shell inside the context of a snap package

I'm actually not aware of any project that was more complete, delivering on such scale like threefold.

so, what I'm hearing is that FF should change its current U-A from `Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0` to just `Mozilla/5.0` and skip the pretense :-)

In all seriousness, Chrome/Chromium actually had a plan to do some U-A simplification <https://www.chromium.org/updates/ua-reduction/> but it doesn't appear they're going as far as evicting the Chrome branding from it, nor (confusingly enough) dropping the Safari misnomer (since they don't use WebKit anymore)
Why do you consider something factual as shaming?
I've heard that too. A substantial number of the people who told me that went on to have more kids afterwards.
I think as part of AI regulations, all companies should have to publish their training data along side their model.
As a follow-up to the web of trust, I was pretty excited about Keybase and the breadth of applications they enabled, with a slick UX for web-of-trust. Pity they didn't quite succeed (got acqired/acquihired by Zoom), but it would be wonderful if something like that got another life.
My problem is that to-do and note taking apps are more or less toy problems. A radical solution to the challenge of building these kinds of apps just doesn't seem that interesting.

2) how many would it be if we were not providing them with assistance? Do you think they're just going to roll over and capitulate if the US turns off the tap? They didn't do that in the first few days of the war when they had very little assistance and practically none of their allies believed they would last the week, why would that happen now?
No.

If you're talking about pumping cash into our defense industry, the whole point is that's taking production away from elsewhere. Defense is getting bigger, something else is getting smaller in the short term.

Sure, the whole thing has some some ancillary benefits, like getting real-world data, or "advertising to prospective arms buyers", but those benefits don't make up anywhere near what we're spending. If we only wanted those benefits, we would get them far cheaper by themselves.

So no, there are absolutely downsides. This is the very broken glass fallacy that I referred to. I'll repeat the final paragraph of the original for you to read -- you may want to read the whole Wikipedia article though:

> It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

Again -- I totally support what we're doing, for the record. But money doesn't come free. We shouldn't pretend like this is all almost for free or something. It's not.
They also introduced 2F verification pop ups that don’t show up in the task bar and are therefore not selectable when they are behind another window.
The answers are inbetween.

It is clear that our 155mm production sucks and that 155mm shells are needed in large numbers in a peer contest.

Building 155mm capacity is itself beneficial, in that we are learning how to build more production lines and learn how to ramp.

No amount of money is 'useful' per se. What we care about the skills of our workers to reliably and consistently perform in these production lines.

-------

We get the best of both worlds. We can practice and ramp up production, building the production skills. But it's the Ukrainians who are putting their lives on the line. A bit grim, but this is very beneficial to us.
I never thought about investments being able to help people - if you are talking about stocks or something do you have examples? I'm generally curious. I only have a pitiful retirement account but if indeed that is what you're suggesting I'm all for it.

That all said - my wife and I have been extremely poor before to the point of digging in the couch for enough cash to split a dollar burger for dinner and hoping the fumes in my car get me to work until my check shows up that week due to medical expenses. I really have my heart warmed for everyone on here helping others out. Even if it's just spending time with friends who have no one else you can make someone's 2023.
