It seems then rust's first priority is "being a systems programming language", with memory safety being at best second.

Internet Freedom Foundation's take on the proposed broadcasting bill in India
First automation acts as a powerful lever and enabler, then it replaces you.

In 5 years time you may well be more productive than ever. In 15 years I doubt there'll be many programming jobs in the form they are recognisable today.
I'm surprised it can do long SQL queries, I wouldn't have thought. I've been looking into PRQL or other solutions to cover that ground. Can it do reasonably complex things like window functions?
There is no gap on the right side in the day or week view, only in the month view for some reason.

>did you really do that with “a 4 function calculator”?

I have in the past, this time I used the 4 function calculator mode of Windows 10's calculator. x^2, MS, x^2, x^2 * MR = on the loops, then divide by 1+n zeros, repeat.

I used NotePad++ to record the data as I went.

Doing it for a binary logarithm would be a lot easer, because then it's square and optionally divide by 2.
Yeah, they also miss (IMO) one of the biggest advantages of using something like fail2ban which is the reduction in logging noise. I've seen multiple VMs effectively DoS-ed because their disk filled up with SSH log entries. I've been paged by security monitoring tools that registered all the failed login attempts as attacks, and I've had to filter out or just wade through all those logs when investigating other issues.

fail2ban also works with services other than SSH, and one of my favorite tricks is to point it at nginx logs, add a `robots.txt` with a honeypot entry and have fail2ban block any IP that hits that or any of a dozen common vulnerability endpoints that I know aren't on the server (like `wp-admin.php`). Keeps the web logs cleaner and more useful.

not the op, but one reason might be to visually distinguish between two events at the same time on adjacent days versus a 2-day event. Without the gap, events blend together. I don’t think the border provides enough contrast to rely on either.
Looks nice! I assumed the demo is editable, because I can drag events around, but there is no way to add new events?
I can’t tell you how often I spent money on a cd as a teenager, and the rest of the songs on that cd were garbage. I love being able to sample on Spotify, I’ve found so much good music. There are still easy ways to get mp3s if you want to keep the songs.

Apple Computer, Inc. vs. Franklin Computer Corp. (3D Cir. 1983)
This is a good question, which baffled me a bit too when studying the Google calendar.

Took me a while to figure it out, but when I first built the month grid without subtracting a few pixels per event, it got a bit hard to optically make sense of where an event ended and a new one started. This especially since events are also allowed to stretch over multiple days.

Subtracting a few pixels from each event, helps me to quicker grasp that an event ends on a given date, and isn't to be considered "one" with an event in the next day.
If a "normal" outcome for such an event would have been much closer to 1,000,000 being killed, then yes it would be wonderful if 990,000 were saved. Sure, we mourn the dead, but we can still be happy for the saved.

Serious question, how exactly does one get started designing chips?

I have a rudimentary understanding of circuits, like wire up LED with resistor to 12v, or making a voltage dividing circuit to not fry things.

Is it a density thing? What else makes one go "I have so much stuff, lets put it on a die"

I find what you do fascinating. Hardware engineering is modern magic. Yer a wizard mike!
I think it's to easily see if the event spans only one day or multiple days.
Multi-days events don't have the gap on the right so it shows a continuous line. You need the gap to have a difference for single-day events.

His protocol was developed as a result of his team trying anything and everything that might potentially help. "The definition of what the corpus of science is telling us about nutrition" is overselling it. There's a reason the site is plastered with "this is not medical advice" disclaimers.
I feel the point is a bit subtler. We should strive for improvement. We should also understand that that takes more than the normal amount of resources to do something different and better & either commit to spending what's required or, if we can't afford to, use something already proven instead.

The half-done or broken improvements still get called "innovations" and give innovation overall a worse reputation.
Relative sizes are irrelevant to whether an amalgamation of territories constitutes a reunification.

> it's not really a "re" unification either because Taiwan has never been under CCP control

This is the usual argument, which is obviously bogus.
The Democratic Republic of Germany was never under the control of the Federal Republic of Germany before the reunification, this is irrelevant.

> Before that Chinese rule goes back to the 1890s but it always had its own indigenous people and customs.

Chinese rule dates further back (Taiwan was formally annexed in 1684). Local people and customs are also irrelevant here as indeed Taiwan had been absorbed into the Chinese Empire and then the Republic of China (which, formally it still is).

Hence my point that all of this is manipulation of Western public opinion because, no matter what (including the mainland becoming a democracy), the interest of the US is to keep Taiwan split from mainland China.

Intent is different (and important), but I was wondering if the effect might be similar, regardless of intent.
LLMs are going to have to get much cheaper to train to be useful in corporations, where the questions you want to ask are going to depend on proprietary code. You can't ask "What does subsystem FooBar do, and where does it fit in the overall architecture?" You'd want to be able to continuously retrain the model, as the code base evolves.
It would be also mercilessly exploited if the patching would reveal defense buildings blocking a way..
> High levels of reasoning are not required. LLMs are quite good at doing this, although they remain strongly limited by the maximum size of their context. This should really make programmers think. Is it worth writing programs of this kind? Sure, you get paid, and quite handsomely, but if an LLM can do part of it, maybe it's not the best place to be in five or ten years

I appreciate the author writing this article. Whenever I read about future of field, I get anxiety and confusion but then again I think other options too which were available to me was less interest of me.

I have never loved learning the details of an obscure communication protocol or the convoluted methods of a library written by someone who wants to show how good they are. It seems like "junk knowledge" to me. LLMs save me from all this more and more every day.

This is depressing or tongue-in-cheek considering who he is -- Redis creator -- and has an older post titled 'In defense of linked lists', so talking about linked lists in Rust is not "junk knowledge" or something an LLM can analyze circles around any human.

It's the best coding nihilism as a profession post I have read though.

Except the wall curves inward, which pushes your head, neck and upper back forward. Having sat on them, it's rather uncomfortable, and must be worse for people taller than me.

You're right, but not always. Some people work differently than others and would rather headbutt against a wall on their own for hours than work with other people.

In the long term, it is beneficial to have experts as your collaborators. From my experience though, true collaboration is unlocked once you have established a personal relationship with someone, which takes time and repeated effort. Until then, the collaboration is no better than searching the internet or asking chatGPT.

Establishing relationships with people is hard and takes a lot of work, and frequently doesn't work out like you hope. ChatGPT is a close enough approximation for smaller tasks like the OP describes
Yeah, it's rough out there for pedants.
> I think there is a legitimate argument that these arm rests are actually providing a useful service by delimiting the space for each person. Few people will naturally sit on the spot at the end of a bench seat which is already partially occupied (and other people will discourage it by sitting near the middle). Where as people will take an empty seat which is clearly free and separated from the other people on the bench.

Yes, exactly this! Especially when the platforms are crowded, it makes so much sense to be efficient on the allocation of seats.

The point is that in OP's scenario, there's a bank doing investments, and a person doing investments. The bank had their funds in their usual way, and the person outright stole the funds. That makes a big difference, when talking morality, but not because of the investments, but because of the source of the funds for the investments.

While this solution doesn't add a convenient button in the UI to show the hidden domains and to quickly block them, for some reason this extension didn't work if I had javascript disabled, while the native uBlock one did.

I believe there's also a userscript that does something similar, but I never tried it.

Hi, thanks for dropping this feedback.

Yes, as of now, the demo does not utilize the APIs for adding, editing or removing events. But this definitely helps me understand that it might make sense to do so! I'll put this in the project backlog; the APIs exist, the demo just doesn't use them.
I just went through this with our Dell rep. The generations aren't totally successive, if you count the non-Quadro RTX 4000 series, which is Ada generation but not part of the RTX 4000 Ada series.

Add to it the card variants, and there's a chance that you might still end up with the wrong part if your purchaser isn't careful.
You could open it now and crowd-source the missing pieces. I really see nothing to lose by making this oss-first.
There's also another solution to use slices instead of 'embedded arrays', but with slices you suddenly need to think about ownership (e.g. what happens with the referenced slices when the top-level struct is copied).

This article focuses on how money allocated (by universities) to non-study functions such as hospitals results in university management being much more docile and less principled.

What do you mean? I thought runtime errors in C were almost always catastrophic; the real issue is UB (first example that comes to mind is out-of-bound array access; sometimes you segfault sometimes you just get random data) or, in general, stuff that should be an error but isn't

EDIT: Ah I guess you were referring to arbitrary code injection after, say, a stack overflow? But I think that's a runtime issue rather than a language one (hard to draw a line in a systems PL, but still)

This is significant. I have been pondering about how to build upon a gcal-style week view but with no sense of month navigation. Very similar to Continuous Calendar https://madebyevan.com/calendar
https://dev.to/melezhik/sparky-self-hosted-task-runner-with-...
On Google Calendar clicking on an event you see the information of that event, clicking on a white space let's you create a new event at that time.

Having some white space that pertains to the day, but not to an event, let's you create a new event at the same time of an existing one without having to modify the start hour.

At least that's how I use it.

Just two days ago I found out the sensible defaults doesn't include automagically enabling even the basic jails. The machine run for a year (or more) with enabled fail2ban which... did nothing. Not a Debian machine and it's entirely on me, but fail2ban setup is not "just apt install".

> You didn't learn musical notation in school in the US in the 80s?

I was in grade school in the 70's, but I certainly did not. We had "music" class, which was mostly learning songs to sing and basic instruments, but those were more a "put finger here, then here, then here" type of thing. From 4'th grade+ we had optional band (which I was in), so I learned some there.

But not part of a standard curriculum.
Apparently, frequently enough that the Mexicans I spoke to were aware of it and had thoughts on the matter. In general, they are very aware of the political currents in the US seeking to marginalize/disparage Mexico and Mexicans.

Potential legitimate uses I can think of -

1. licensing voice to other uses - people with recognizable trademarkable voices (actors, singers) have another potential revenue stream. yay!

2. use of past voices - voices that are not 'owned' from the past - let's say Humphrey Bogart's voice, can be used in projects without having to pay for imitator. This would be useful for both marketing and artistic projects. But probably less for marketing because they will want to go with step 1.

3. Teach yourself to talk like X. People who need to learn to talk like a particular person / have a particular accent could learn quicker. Just think - you will be able to supplement your comedy routine with kickass Christopher Walken impersonations any day now!

Variations of 3 and 2 together open up interesting modes of aesthetic impression, but I won't go into that here. But definitely I have some ideas that might benefit from being able to do this.

Audio is a very interesting and strange hobby. For example, this amp is probably fantastic, but 90% of people probably don't even need one, and those who do can probably get away an Apple dongle or something similar.

Using Godot with C# in 2024
There is a misunderstanding going here. A linked list is a pure form of knowledge. What we see today is an explosion of arbitrary complexity that is the fruit, mostly, of bad design. If I learn the internals of React, I'm not really understanding anything fundamental. If I get to know the subtleness of Rust semantics and then Rust goes away, I'm left with nothing: it's not like learning Lisp. Think to all the folks that used to master M4 macros in the Sendmail, 30 years ago. I was saying the same, back then: this is garbage knowledge.

Today we have a great example in Kubernetes, and all the other synthetic complexity out there. I'm in, instead, to learn important ML concepts, new data structures, new abstractions. Not the result of some poor design activity. LLMs allow you to offload this memorization out of your mind, to make space for distilled ideas.
The problem starts with low opt-in rates. The assumption becomes the low response was due to the user not understanding how to opt-in.
