This may not be a ring, but a “real” ring doesn’t require more than 3 nodes. A ring can be formed with as little as 2 nodes.

If routing was enabled this would definitely be a mesh network. It would be a full mesh network where every node is directly connected to each other and a secondary path through another node is available should the direct path fail.

TRPL assumes familiarity with some existing programming language, such that much of its focus is how Rust differs from more common languages. A true "from scratch" book would probably first teach idiomatic Rust as something not too different from a pure functional language (in that the default approach in Rust is to pass objects by value and forbid all shared mutable state, just like FP languages do) and introduce interior mutability subsequently as a way of supporting more "imperative" patterns of coding.
> Hopefully affected users can get it working again on their Macs via customer service, if they even care.

I'm going to go wayyyy out on a limb and guess that people who were enthusiastic adopters of Beeper Mini, AND who own a Mac ARE probably going to care about getting their access working again.

I'd actually say the bigger thing would probably be "via Customer Service, if Customer Service even cares, and doesn't tell them to just create a new Apple ID".

> you need a way to be able to detect the steganogram even after the image has been modified.

True, but not really. If you look at any suggested method to prevent the spread of CSAM "at scale" its based on large "hash databases" and not fancy classifiers (yet, if you can't develop one, and yes they have "problems" because they dont only contain hashes for "bad" files - "bad" being "locale" dependent).

Also you need to consider at FAANG scale (where election interference matters), "just send TB's of data a day to our API" doesn't actually "scale" - nobody's ever paying those API/bandwidth fee's (as much as we'd like them to).

It would be much cheaper for OpenAI to run this AI on all the images they produced and publish hashes for ones the model thought was "bad". But they never would because then they'd become "censors" - its a complicated world where nobody wants any blame.

Actually the income distribution for Americans is mostly the same across all races with the exception of native Americans and Pacific Islanders. It’s true there’s a larger wealth gap but even that is changing with time and is mostly due to the white Americans being able to build wealth the longest.

As an American living in America, I've had a hard time fitting in to many social situations because it's difficult for me to "be fake", and it feels very awkward when people "act fake" with me. I appreciate some aspects of American social culture, but the forced "niceness" and fake compliments/questions irk me.

My ideal style is somewhere between Dutch directness and American friendliness - mostly direct, but with a generally more "positive" affect than the "neutral"-seeming Dutch approach, and more open to having friendly interactions with strangers without being "fake".

It's often hard to tell what information is truly fundamental, and what will age badly. I look at many books of software engineering that were popular in the early 2000s, like The Pragmatic Programmer, Agile Software Development or the Design Patterns book by the gang of 4. Those books aren't taking about technologies that we expected to be superceded in 5 years. And yet, a lot of the text regarding object orientation and design patterns is outdated at best, and outright harmful at worst.

One can also look at, say, concurrency. A topic often seen as unimportant in the 90s, but ultimately taught at the lowest level, with mutexes, threads, semaphores and such. Those aren't going away, but how often is concurrent programming all about manually setting mutexes? We use higher order abstractions, but those change too. Many languages are encapsulating this in monads, whether people know their promise implementation is a monad or not. But that's not the only way, and the most popular way can change: Maybe languages in 10 years will be all about continuations and direct styles. Maybe it'll be something else. The fact that in the end, the same basic features from the 80s and 90s will exist at the bottom somewhere isn't that useful for most programmers.

And html generation... I was writing UIs before web apps were there. A lot of things that seemed fundamental went away when the browser was embraced. But will the browser live forever, or be superceded? I suspect that it will all get replaced, or be utter legacy, eventually. Will that eventually be 10 years? 30? It's very hard to say what will remain fundamental, and what will not.

Reading through the article, I very much sympathized with the author's Dutch attitudes towards American mannerisms. And I'm American.

All of my life I've felt at a distance from others who exhibit typical American social habits, and have actually got along better with people from various other cultures such as eastern Europe. (There are a lot of first and second generation immigrants from eastern Europe where I live in the US.)

I have always been perceived as rude and blunt, and in recent years those with typically American social attitudes have even begun pathologizing behaviors like mine as being "on the spectrum".

As to why I am like this was a mystery to me in childhood. I acted just like my family and extended did! Everything was normal at home, and then I would treat someone at school like I would treat a sibling and it would result in arched eyebrows.

Turns out my family's attitudes towards socializing were strongly influenced by my mother, since she was a stay at home parent. And she came from a part of the US made up of small agricultural communities that were mostly German and Dutch in origin. These small communities had transplanted their national cultures in little bubbles all over the US, and by dint of mostly isolation from the broader culture had maintained those mores for centuries.

It was only when my mother had moved away to the city that this culture shock occurred, about 150 years after immigration.

So yes, there is a lot of cultural variation in the US, probably not as much as in Europe, but it exists. There are subcultures within the US of various vintages that exist alongside the mainstream culture that have all learned how to be different and coexist at the same time.
HN Sundays is a bit of a subculture within a subculture.

> But thing I miss from back then, was the feeling that the book was going to be the key to getting you started writing whatever crazy idea you had for a program in your head.

Yes! I miss it too. For me, that book was Head First PHP & MySQL[0] - Late 2000's, I was living and working in Thailand for a family friends small logistics company in the capacity of a BA, trying to move them into this century. We were trying to find a vendor for any system that would allow us to keep track of the movements of shipping containers within a container yard, and something sparked and I thought "hey, I did a semester of programming at Uni, how hard can it be?!", over the span of the next 6 months or so, this book helped me put together a solution that scarily, they are still using to this day.

Fast-forward 15ish years and here I am, still cutting code, although in the capacity of a dev lead, but after all that, I have the book to thank.

I am (or was) fundamentally against tipping, and I agree that people should simply get paid to do their job.

However, I've followed the debates occuring in the USA as a handful of restaurants have experimented with no-tip policies, and I am now really ambivalent about the practice. Several restaurants with owners who sounded very committed to end tipping have returned to it; I've read remarks from many waitstaff who say that they prefer and can make far more that way than they would ever be paid on a salary.

I don't think there's a clear answer. My gut still tells me that it's a bad idea, but I do not want to ignore stories from those actually working in and around businesses where this is a thing.

Let's say that not everybody agrees. Also all the issues identified by Gor are due to retrofitting continuations into an existing language as a pure library without compiler help.

It isn't you. I have a solid resume (I know because I've interviewed hundreds of people in my career), but the market is just much slower. In 2020-2022 I was getting 5-10 recruiters reaching out every week. If I thought something was interesting, I'd respond saying that I'm not really looking for anything new, but I'm open to a conversation. People would still be thrilled to speak to me, even though I was upfront that I'd only leave for something perfect.

Lately, I get maybe one person reaching out every month. I responded to one last week, even though I'm not looking, just to see what the job market is like. I was ghosted.

I think we're just not in a hiring frenzy right now. People don't want to leave their jobs and risk it on something new. Some companies are laying off. For the companies that are hiring, they are probably seeing many more applicants and a higher conversion rate.

Things will come around.

A while back we spent 5 weeks in the US, visiting a handful of states (California, Arizona, Nevada etc). The people we met were universally polite and often kind (except for one drunk English guy). A random person on a bus noticed we were tourists and spent ages giving us recommendations for local things to do; retail workers would notice our accent and ask about the bushfires (this was late 2019 when half of Australia was burning).

However, pretty much the whole time it felt a bit like we were being boisterous in church. As polite as everyone was, it felt at least in part fake; like they were a bad actor over-playing a role; like they were tolerating us but wished we'd just shut up and leave. Conversations felt shallow - if I actually responded with anything of substance about the bushfires, for example, they seemed to lose interest immediately. There was a sense of guardedness that meant I could rarely tell when anyone actually thought. Australians are typically rather... open in that respect.

As we were lining up to board our flight home, I heard groups of other Australians talking and instantly let of of a tension I hadn't realized I was carrying. Like I'd walked out of church and was allowed to act normally again.

- The scanlation team put the first chapters on mangadex (maybe as an ad ?), once I get their name, same thing, I'll try to directly get from them.

I've done this. There's a balance in remaining an individual and committing fully to a relationship. I think there's a lie in the idea of being subsumed by a relationship. You have to maintain your heading and keep the winds of purpose at your back. Don't lose speed just because your heart is full. If she's game, she'll be more than capable of keeping up.

I had a personal brush with Feynman with regards to this experiment.

Circa 1986, I read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman and became mildly obsessed with the fact that Feynman doesn't present the result of the sprinkler experiment (see the first few seconds of the video for context). A number of colleagues (at the software startup where I was working) and I tied ourselves up in knots debating what the answer must be.

I wanted to perform the experiment, but lacking materials, skill, and (frankly) ambition, I settled for a laughably primitive apparatus involving a couple of bendy straws, the bathroom sink, and my mouth. This was enough to reproduce the well-known fact that if you push water out through the sprinkler, it will spin. When I tried sucking water in, it would give a momentary rotational jerk and then stop moving... but perhaps that was due to my mouth tightening up on the straw?!?

After I shared this inconclusive result, one of my co-workers decided to get to the bottom of the matter. He called the Pasadena operator, asked for the home phone of a Mr. Richard Feynman, and – to my utter horror – dialed the number.

It seemed impossible that this was a viable procedure for making contact with a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, but through the speakerphone, we could all hear a gruff voice that certainly sounded like it might be him. All doubt was removed when my friend explained that we were looking for the answer that isn't presented in the book, and the gruff voice said, "Why should I tell you?"

Feynman then asked whether we had tried the experiment, and to my redoubled horror, the phone was handed to me. I stumbled through some explanation of what I had tried and what result I had observed. Fenyman then relented, and explained the entire situation in ten short words:

"The sprinkler cannot rotate, because no angular momentum is transferred."

(Not an exact quote, but something very much like that)
Fair enough! However...

I'm still not seeing why that experience requires an account, so while this response is academically interesting, it doesn't actually address the purpose of my comment.
