Weird. Here's the Rust Foundation annual report for 2023 (https://foundation.rust-lang.org/static/publications/annual-...). No "legal bullshit", it's short and to the point.

Or here's another example. An interview they published with one of the developers whom they awarded a grant to. He worked on a Rust implementation of git and was awarded the grant to integrate it with cargo, the Rust build tool. (https://foundation.rust-lang.org/news/community-grantee-spot...)

Or a technical article about artifact signing (https://foundation.rust-lang.org/news/2023-12-21-improving-s...)

Do you still think that the Rust foundation writes "legal bullshit"?
There is a blog post with a description of how it is implemented here: https://gleam.run/news/gleams-new-interactive-language-tour/
This is actually mildly surprising to me that the Raspberry Pi is only 4.5x faster. I would have bet 10-20x faster just because of how much time has passed and all the talk about: "your cellphone is 1000x faster than the Apollo computers" that I've been hearing since the time of the t-mobile sidekick.

I've always taken them with a grain of salt, but even if they were only an order of magnitude off, a Pi is loads faster than a sidekick. And sure the Cray is loads faster than the Apollo computers, but I wouldn't have thought it was THAT much faster.

I am amazed.
We had the same communications with Google that encouraged us not to use App Passwords, and hinting at a future removal. Plus the fact that App Passwords expire when the Google Account password changed, means you can’t count on the App Password working.

We are a large enough organization with that we have 25 years of use cases beyond “People Reading in their Inbox”. Printers and scanners have been mentioned. But we also have email used to automatically move data between systems.

Sometimes this is due to limitations of third party systems, sometimes we have to decide does it make sense to invest the time to rewrite a well tested tool that uses POP.

So we have decided to a standards based POP, IMAP, SMTP email service for these automated systems. It takes much less time to configure and test swapping POP server info than migrating to OAUTH

The end user email stays with Gmail.
I'm getting close to retirement and have been considering getting a pilot's license. My only reservation is the expense of fuel/rental when I get bored of flying around my city/area.

This reminds me, years back I picked up an NTT Data Super Famicom Controller [0] with the idea of adapting it to USB. An off-the shelf USB converter only handled the standard SNES/SFC buttons and completely ignored the number pad. At the time few resources even mentioned the existence of this thing, so I put it on the shelf and promptly forgot about it for other projects.

The form factor is really close though. Ignoring the added buttons, which is completely possible while gaming, it does not feel much different. https://www.onli-blogging.de/uploads/sf30pro.jpg for an example picture :)
an API does not mean there are no hidden dependencies, and that is often the biggest failure.

If an API call is not stateless, or requires to be chained with other calls, you're in for a world of pain in the long run
Show HN: We built an AI multimodal interviewer for mock system design interviews
Hey HN! We're Jared, Shreyas, and Varun the creators of TechInterviewer. We're building a product for software engineers to go through an entirely simulated systems design interview. Our AI interviewer, Steve, gives you a prompt and you talk out loud and draw on a whiteboard while Steve guides you through the interview and gives real-time feedback. Check out our demo:

https://app.techinterviewer.ai

Every software engineer today has to prepare for systems design interviews and have two awful options: pay hundreds of dollars for a single session with a FAANG engineer or follow silently alongside a YouTube playlist. Because there is no instant feedback while practicing, engineers often learn about their most important knowledge gaps during the course of the interview loop.

Jared and Shreyas are both senior engineers who have spent 100s of hours preparing for and administering systems design interviews. Shreyas was an early engineer at Deepgram and spent many years tracking developments in the TTS (text to speech) space. He realized that voice interviews had potential to change the candidate experience when he starting using chatGPT to prepare for interviewing founding engineer candidates at his startup.

We're hoping that having easy access to interview feedback will level the playing field of software engineers at different skill levels. We're really excited to share this with you all and we'd love any thoughts, feedback, and comments
I'm not well versed in these things, but at this point, aren't you re-inventing database systems? Talking about things like ACID transactions, schema evolution, dropping columns, ... in the context of a file-format feels bizarre to me.
One advantage math (and computer science) has is it’s entirely man made. You can start at the beginning and follow every step of the way.
So I just ordered a maxed out one. I wrote the firmware/OS for the prototype when it was a lot less polished and being demo’s to EVPs, so it’s going to be cool to see how far it’s come :)
Yep I can definitely see that, I could see myself making the same decision in that situation. I would probably reach for uncle, caretaker, or guardian. I'm still lost as to when "child-raiser" would ever be needed though, and personally feel like avoiding saying parent would be more offensive to more people than the other way around.

I.e. I could see your coworker correcting someone and saying they aren't the father or parent with little or no offense taken. Though I could see referring to someone with adopted children as "child-raiser" as being really offensive to the person, as though I effectively took away the term "parent" and everything that goes along with it.
What’s actually insane: for many fleets, 90% turnover would be considered amazingly good. Some fleets suffer from 300%+ turnover!

With you on "institutions are not failing as such".

As for biggest challenges: You _massively_ underestimate climate change, and the way it is entangled with everything else. There have always been authoritarian nations. The so called free world does not seem notably more corrupt than it was 50 years ago, it is in many ways freer than it has ever been (see the annoyance and backlash of those that don't think the freedom should extend to such things as chosing your gender), and it's economic power remains unmatched for now.

But: We already live in a changed climate. This means we no longer speculate about the damages climate change will do, we can measure them in macroeconomic data already [1]. This was a huge surprise to ke. I would have expected economic systems to be much more resilient to the warming already seen.

We are facing a situation where the world's poorest are experiencing reduced growth (meaning not fewer corporate profits, but people fleeing hunger and destitution), while we are all dealing with a massively increased number of extreme events (which _will_ stress institutions not adapted to the new normal, possibly to the breaking point), while we also have to transform or economic systems towards carbon neutrality to prevent even more catastrophic impacts.

This is fertile ground for authoritarians, democratic backsliding, loss of liberties and institutional failure.

I agree. "Child-raiser" strikes me as being demeaning/dismissive. If the author wanted to avoid saying "parent", then the well-established alternatives that you cite are strongly preferable for that reason.
I don't find the lack of Latin in public education to be particularly alarming, and I've found that it's been replaced by subjects a bit more relevant to the modern day (i.e. Comp Sci)

> No school in 5th or 6th grade is giving formal definitions of relations and functions.

I remember that my math teacher pretty surely did.

> There is a reason nearly all undergrad math books in analysis, topology, algebra, all devote an entire first chapter to it.

Indeed there exist multiple good reasons:

- recapitulation

- setting up the notation

- clarifying how the textbook defines the relevant mathematical objects, because the definitions of some concepts might differ depending on the textbook

- making clear what existing standard the textbook expects from the learner

Based on my extensive experience with a Quest 2, overall weight isn’t as much of a factor as balance of that weight is.

The Quest 2 wasn’t that comfortable to use out of the box, but after adding a Vive Deluxe Audio Strap connected with 3D printed adapters (which distributes weight better) and a counterweight that’s attached the back of the strap it’s dramatically improved. Still not perfect, but I have no issues wearing it for an hour or longer playing Beat Saber.

What does teaching Latin in schools have to do with schools, ostensibly, failing?

Are you saying that Latin is something that is useful to everyday life and because we don't teach it to our children we're depriving them of this wonderous tool?

I personally do not know Latin, but I have never run into a situation where I needed to know it.

And to analyze the idea that, "Well, it's not Latin in specific, but that we are not teaching our children to think for themselves", this too has been bayed about for the last forever, Plato complained that "children today are not learning the things that they should"

I don't know which pedagogy is the "correct" one, stuff children with, seemingly, random knowledge and watch them "blossom" or to stuff them with narrowly focused learning so that they will flourish at whatever work they are funneled into.

But I do know that teaching a dead language isn't the bellwether you think it is, unless you're trying to start a jobs program for all those unemployeed Latin tutors.
I was not commenting on any measures intended to stop/reverse the climate change. (I don't have enough knowledge to various probabilities).

There are a few features missing from the FOSS Scala/Spark implementation of Delta Lake, but I wouldn't say a lot. The FOSS version supports all the table features in the Delta Lake protocol.

The Delta Rust implementation is missing more table features, but we're closing the gap fast. We just added support for constraints to Delta Rust and are working on change data feed right now.

The story is a little misleading.

> 2024 will mark a rare natural event as two distinct cicada broods emerge together for the first time in over two centuries.

That means these two particular broods haven't seen each other in that long. It doesn't mean no broods have coincided in the last two centuries, though that makes for punchier stories.

https://www.newsweek.com/cicadas-brood-both-emerging-same-ti...

There are 15 broods in total. They emerge on 13- or 17-year cycles.

When I lived in the PNW, I really missed cicadas. Am looking forward to this year's songs!
I took a senior classics course on the ancient near East when I was in university. (It had no prereqs, and I wanted to do something that actually felt like university.)

It was fascinating. One anecdote I remember is that Hercules was potentially derived from stories of a Phoenician hero who walked along the shore and discovered that the molluscs that crushed beneath his feet created a purple hue. He was renowned for turning this stuff into purple dye that came to signify royalty.

Anyways, I've never bothered looking this up further. I just loved the potential origins of things. (Another interesting one -- Jesus being in many ways derived from Baal. Given that our professor was also a priest, I thought he was surprisingly open to teaching this stuff.)
Gnome is very much using the GPU for rendering its GUI. They chose a tradeoff to work well on new systems.

But using something like Windowmaker, Icewm, Blackbox, Openbox should be fine. Xfce, Lxde and other lighter desktops might work too. Also, there is still Enlightenment 16 and also e17.
I think they are in part counting on it as a status symbol. iPhone, iPad, and a few others are ubiquitous in the US market. Additonally, they kinda "blend in" amidst competitor devices with similar designs.

But the Vision Pro will be eye- catching and hard to miss, with a large profile and unique design.

Time will tell if it works.
They are if you have anything else that needs to be done at the same time. I would say they're fine if you have nothing else to do while waiting, or you need microsecond delays to generate a signal like in this case.
It has a built-in browser app though, right? So that might mean you don't need so many Mac-hosted screens.
Don't forget that these controllers operate at 5V logic and the ESP32 at 3.3V. Supposedly the ESP32 can tolerate 5V inputs [0], but it's probably best to put a level shifter between the two.

This is the point. This constant barrage of questionable breaking changes cause _everyone_ to need to increase the time they spend on useless maintenance. As a consequence, people decide not do it, and stop supporting applications on the Linux desktop.

We are literally asking that you stop doing these changes. It's unfair to ask of developers that since you are spending time breaking their applications, developers should spend time following your breaking changes. Please stop breaking our applications.

> Still a lot of people will buy it so why 3499, 3699, 3899? Why not 3999, 4199, 4399? Surely if you have the money you would buy it either way.

Pricing is partly art. Pricing is about choosing a number that you think the market (and the market size you're after) will bear. Pricing can signal status; it can signal "this is for you" (e.g. when inexpensive). Pricing is psychological - that's why you see 9.95 instead of 10, that could be one of the reasons why the Vision Pro is not in the $4000 range because that is in a different level psychologically.

etc.
"But the court isn't tasked with proving that harm is more likely than not, but rather that posing a risk of harm is more likely than not."

The probability of harm occurring is the risk of posing harm. If we use your logic, everyone should be found to be a risk, because everyone is capable of harm, and there's no cutoff so .01% chance of harm is enough.

"There, the court doesn't have to find that you're "likely to flee", but rather that you have statutory risk factors, like an incentive to flee and the means to do so."

Yeah, but those are defined in statute or case law. That isn't the case for the law you point out. In some cases, traditional PFAs do have statutory lists of actions that can justify issuing them. If it's really so vague that it logically includes anyone because everyone is a risk to some degree, one could argue on a combination of strict construction and unfair trial (result is predetermined if following the law the way it is written).
I've tried building an arcade stick in the past by having the Arduino emulate a keyboard and doing standard Arduino lib digitalRead of the buttons and sending keypresses (for MAME) over USB. It worked, but the lag was terrible. I wonder if this fares any better.

In any case, if you can handle the wait, you can get a knockoff SNES USB pad from China for a few bucks. The plastic will feel way off, but you can probably swap over the shell from your original pad with little effort. And you'll get fresh rubber button pads, rather than 30 year old spongy ones, as a bonus. :)

> “The Raspberry Pi ... is more than 4.5 times faster than the Cray 1.”

The applications have grown as well.

The Cray 1 was used for mundane tasks like "large-scale scientific applications, such as simulating complex physical phenomena, and was sold to government and university laboratories." [1] But the power of the Raspberry Pi allows for cutting edge computing tasks like "watering plants, monitoring the birds in your yard, or for a smart doorbell!" [2]

The argument falls apart when you remember that more than one person outside of RIM owned a BlackBerry. Who has a Quest? Also? Who had a BlackBerry? Just the people who had a reason to own a BlackBerry. Everyone else just waited for the iPhone to exist.

This isn’t the iPad release, it’s the Apple Watch release. It’s a flag-planting, limited capability, system for early adopters that’s meant to be a ramp to a more practical v2.

I don’t think most people will have a use for the Vision Pro, but, for the people that do, it’s in a different league from what’s currently available.

The mass market iPad/iPod Touch version of the Vision will be out in a few years.
Honestly I feel like I am in a parallel universe with ideas like this.

Chrome was dramatically faster than anything else (thanks to v8 which was a total revolution for js engines) and each tab crashed separately, with far better security than other browsers of the time. On Windows (and initially it was only on Windows) this was a big deal and so it displaced a huge proportion of the tech aware userbase very fast, permeating out from there.

The billboards were a thing but not what drove initial adoption to critical mass.

There is no reason this first iteration would not sell out. There are enough people with more money than sense or wishing to have an additional status symbol to sell it regardless of its qualities and defaults.

The question is will it have enough appeal for the technology to trickle down to more affordable devices that the general population is willing to actually buy? And will it happen before we can implant chips directly into our brain? So far VR has occupied nothing less but a niche market.
Yes, that's accurate - I don't think any of the mentioned companies paid to be included in the article.

I'll grant that there's a difference between an article about products and an article about news. To my mind, this particular article seems to be about a cultural trend, rather than explicitly about products.

Now, if the article was using language I consider to be "sales-y" I would have a different opinion. It doesn't appear to be saying anything like "this type of whiskey is better than your current brand" or similar. Nor is there any sense of urgency.

It just seems to be an interest piece on a new fad.
