> I am sure if one reads it in good faith you get a fairly nuanced picture.

I don't see a lot of nuance. The primary argument in that thread boils down to any programmer who isn't using C isn't a serious programmer. The dominant technical analyses are a) adding more compiler toolchains make builds take a lot longer and b) memory safety doesn't protect against everything, so why bother? That's not nuance.

Nuance would be pointing out that Rust provides benefits over just memory safety: that Rust tends to push you towards a parse-don't-validate memory, or maybe Rust having a greater emphasis on error checking correctly [1]. But then again, Rust isn't necessary to do that, so you could also analyze how existing software development practices are sufficient to bring those into play.

You can also discuss Rust's failures. Rust, after all, didn't get uninitialized memory right. There's also some uneasiness about the details of the borrow checker to point to, or you can throw some remarks about the &mut-is-noalias and the difficulty it takes to actually ensure that you never create two &mut to the same location in unsafe code.

Nuance might also discuss how safety features do and don't percolate in mixed-programming-language environments, or how a rewrite may or may not improve security. There's definitely items on both sides of the cost-benefit ledger there!

But that's not what we got. The thread starts with an (incorrect [2]) gatekeeping moment of "it's not serious if you don't rewrite coreutils in it," and mostly devolves into a general theme of "anyone who needs their programming language to provide safety wheels is a terrible programmer who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near systems programming". The irony of that viewpoint coming from an OS well known for its love of just-in-case security precautions is not lost on me.

[1] I was recently writing something parsing diffs, and as part of that, I was making sure that the arithmetic on line numbers didn't overflow. Integer overflow (whether signed or unsigned) is frequently ignored as an error source in most programming languages!

[2] At the time the post was written, people were in fact working on doing a rewrite of this stuff in Rust.
I fell for one of these ads on Instagram years ago. The ad was for a bike light with an innovative design. The website had a clean look and feel. They accepted paypal (again years ago). I’m usually very sceptical about scam but back then I naively assumed that you can’t just create an obvious scam ad like this without Facebook and Google catching you. Since you have to have a payment method in file I thought that’ll be a deterrent as well. I was totally fooled.

The scammers even shipped me a super basic bike light to show proof that they actually shipped an item. I had to first file a claim with PayPal and they refunded me but only after some haggling.

I reported the ad to Instagram with all the proof and pictures. I used their security/phishing contact to report this. The ad and the associated account was still there when I checked months later.

I mean I can understand these companies not wanting to care about us measly users enough to respond to account related queries. But this is their bread and butter. If I don’t trust your ads anymore why on earth would I ever click or buy anything. If anything it makes all good businesses lose as well. That’s their real customers. I see people here defending YouTube that it’s understandable that YouTube doesn’t have the time to screen ads. I call bullshit. This is their core product. Ads. They have to care for their own and their customers’ (advertisers) sake.
It would be a welcome change for hardware to start migrating to an improved universal standard.
It's hard to say from the outside because of all the optimism. They are targeting $250k per engine, and have thrown around numbers like $5-10m for the fuselage(?).

From what I understand, the engines are still >$1m each, but coming down as they ramp up production speed and have radically simplified the engines with V2. The body is probably also much higher than the target range, but bearing in mind that it's just stainless steel and relatively well known manufacturing techniques, and not aluminium going through complex and expensive manufacturing techniques, they're probably well under any other typical rocket. I'd assume even significantly less than a new Falcon 9, which is already the low end of the industry in terms of price.

Another thing I'd bear in mind is that many of these ships never got completed, on purpose. There have been explicit "pathfinder" builds, but even with the "real" ships most never flew and were pretty much about working through techniques, tools, materials, etc. These won't have needed a full fit-out and will have been cheaper.

Edit: updated engine target from 500k to 250k

One of the unfortunate side effects of criminalizing drug use has been the muddying of the ethical landscape around law breaking. The argument that drug use laws are unjust has bled into a belief that other illegal behavior is somehow excusable when committed by an addict.

So it's not that Portland made a mistake in decriminalizing public drug use. Their mistake was that they stopped enforcing other laws around the misbehavior addicts engage in.

Eh... Seems awful indirect for an HTTP standard defined status code. Like what is it trying to say, and who could do anything about it? Sounds like wrong layer to me without more concrete details surrounding an implementation utilizing it. .
I did it, I took the plunge and just bought a dev board.

You are definitely right on with regard to the custom hardware, but I still want want to experiment with it, and I'm pretty sure there will be good niches for such flexibility/low power operations.

There are still a lot of problems that are solved/need solving in which neural nets are superfluous/overkill for (I think).

I might try my hand at some DSP for radio or audio to start.

I'll also think I'm gonna try their Forth implementation, I've never used it before, but it seems like a pretty neat language.

Maybe Uiua stack/array programming would make for a better port down the line.

And belief that the masses organizing and voting can have power over Leviathan and its bureaucrats is delusional. They just keep pushing these policies and power grabs until they go through, and/or lie about the components of them. There's no practical check on deep state power such as this in today's so-called-democracy.

You would need some counter-elite faction that already has foothold on power to oppose current power structure. Revolutions (and that's what is necessary to change current policies) never come from the bottom up.

I personally almost never use my 3.5mm audio port and would gladly take one more USB-C port instead of it, just like for the HDMI port on my MBP.

An USB-C to 3.5mm adapter with excellent quality costs about $10, and I can just keep it permanently plugged in to my headset for the very few times I do need it.

A USB-C hub costs much more and supplies less power to downstream devices than two dedicated USB-C ports would.

Weird these negative comments. Did people actually try it?
Every Canadian federal government eventually bows down to the four big media/telecom companies that collectively control the internet and mobile communications of the entire population. It’s a disgusting situation, but I’m not sure what Canadians can do about it, given that the same media companies feed them their news. And although the CBC is pretty cool, ultimately they are also a political mouthpiece being influenced by the same forces behind the scenes.

Is the US any better? Certainly there is more competition. But Europe is likely the only part of the world that has gotten media and telecom right in a democratic way, providing efficient and cheap internet and mobile access while supporting good journalism.
Exactly. The news anchors reading a script approved by CEOs of companies owned by a handful of parent companies, owned by a handful of people, who happen to be close acquaintances with other powerful people (governmentally and economically) told me that the deep state is a right wing nut job conspiracy theory, and that it is a Baseless Claim™.

That assumes there's someone out to get you specifically. That's like saying there's no point in having 2FA or strong passwords, because the FSB, the FBI and Mossad can get in anyway. Having my DNA because you vacuumed it up off the subway floor is significantly less useful to anyone without it being explicitly tied to me.

On the positive side, Gamescom has been on the rise for a while, together with other more local gaming events. It shows how the focus of a live event changed from bringing news, to providing entertainment to hundreds of thousands of cosplayers and fans. With maybe some "news" on the side, which then becomes available on Youtube 5 minutes after.
OK, but why? I don't ever want this "feature". If I start using software that listens to my microphone, it immediately mutes any other audio sources.

If this is part of the bluetooth spec, the obvious right answer is for the headphones to present themselves as two devices, one for audio output and a separate one for audio input. That way, if the audio input is active, it won't affect audio output. But it also shouldn't be part of the spec, because it's awful behavior.

So... why? Who thought this made sense?
Look I know I'm screaming in the wind here. It is a comment on the state of YouTube ads.

AT&T recently (edit: actually almost 2 years ago) laid a new fiber line that runs right under our driveway. They put fliers in all the local mailboxes advertising fiber. But if you go on their site and put in any of the addresses on our street, oops, fiber isn't available.

Our Cox cable service went down for two days last week. When the guy finally came out to fix it, he confirmed what I had already guessed: our line was literally just unplugged at the junction box.

I'm so sick of all their crap I'm tempted to switch to a local fixed wireless company. On paper it's a worse deal than I have now, but if as I've heard they don't give you any BS, that's a strong selling point.

Because refactoring requires understanding, which LLMs completely lack.

For music, that's just not true. AAC is widely supported and sounds transparent to me; I'm not sure if I could detect SBC at high bitrates either.

Right. Also, the practice of having a sticker on a shrink-wrapped box of software that read "By opening this package you agree to the Terms of Service contained within", where the TOS was inside the box that you needed to open the package to read, was deemed unenforceable back in the 90's. It's the reason that TOS' are now displayed as a pop-up during installation. Not that many more people actually read them before installing the software, but at least they are given the option to.

I suspect that a competent lawyer could fairly easily argue that this "automatic opt-in" is the same thing in a slightly different format.
No one's going to argue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_CRS-7 wasn't a failure. That's a production flight that went ka-boom with a lost payload.

Test flights are a very different beast. Early tests can be expected to fail; some are supposed to fail ("destructive testing"). Explosions and other failures become much more concerning later in the process; for example, Boeing's Starliner's latest test flight was supposed to demonstrate everything was working correctly. It failed to do so.

In the two Starship launches so far, SpaceX was very clear with expectations in advance. Each likely has dozens of objectives. The second flight very clearly accomplished more than the first; a successful test of the launchpad mitigations, a successful test of all first-stage engines staying lit, a successful test of separation, a successful test of the second-stage engines all lighting, etc.
Apart from the looks, is there any issue with the retractable pole? We already have that in few aircraft for aerial refueling.

DoorDash apparently using client side source of truth
I order from Doordash a couple times a week because I am lazy and it's convenient. I get a dashpass through my credit card which makes it less extortionate.

Last week I saw that I was being charged the full service fee and delivery fee on my order. I also saw that it had been going on for weeks and I hadn't noticed (should be paying more attention...)

Here's the interesting part. When I contacted support, they said I should delete the app and re-install it. After doing so, the dashpass was working correctly.

I've worked on plenty of checkout systems and they always used the backend as source of truth, even if they did some calculations on the frontend for UI reasons. I can't see how Doordash can be doing that if re-installing the app was enough to fix my dashpass. Surely even if the app showed the incorrect value then the backend should have known I had a dashbpass and billed me correctly.

Anyway, now I have to email doordash and try to get them to refund service charges and delivery fees for a month of orders...
You get collective benefit even if you live in the woods. You can’t opt-out because you don’t opt out of the benefit.

You can leave the country and stop paying taxes, you just can’t come back.

You can be a nomad in the woods and not earn income, and you’ve essentially avoided most taxes unless you own the woods. You’d pay taxes on your woodland because the government protects it from forest fires, criminals entering, war, etc. As a nomad in the woods you’re still eligible for food stamps, you’re still eligible for Medicare and if you go to the hospital and can’t pay, the government protects you from being turned away.

Again, you’re part of a society and you can’t opt out, even if you don’t want to pay.

It would be a lot simpler to say BT audio has two modes, one is listen only and higher quality, the other is two way but lower quality. Sometimes your device gets stuck in the wrong mode.

Fortunately, I never print anymore. But I use that freaking wireless protocol multiple times a day.

For all the hate that printers get, it’s a deceptively hard problem that they tackle:

- They must pull a single sheet of paper perfectly straight out of a stack. That’s hard even for dextrous human hands.

- They must use a fluid that dries instantly yet won’t clog even if unstirred for months.

Having said that, the reason printers went WiFi instead of Bluetooth is that the combined rage towards such a device would be enough to collapse it into a black hole. And you don’t want a singularity in your everyday office.
> But then I read about things like WorldCoin and that people who go to startup parties jump at the chance to give away scans of their retinas

Well, in the case of WorldCoin, I think there's still some pretty significant questions of why they made Africa a prominent launch market (well, there are some reasons), but in some places they repeatedly increased incentives until they were offering people there up to a month's income to give their scans. That might not be a lot of money to a big startup, but is telling that they had to offer that much to get some people to "opt" in.
