'cargo run' doesn't install anything; it just builds and runs directly from the source tree.

'cargo install' does install to (usually) ~/.cargo/bin/.

The useful difference, though, isn't in where things get installed, it's that a Rust binary doesn't really care where it lives, and most don't have shared library dependencies that aren't commonly installed already. So things tend to just work, unlike with Python venvs.
Cargo run just builds and runs the produced binary. It doesn't even install it
Impressive memory bandwidth!

I feel like x86 offerings often fall down so flat in this area. Even when theoretical memory bandwidth is provided, there are often other significant limitations that prevent its use. I've run into this personally with AMD Zen cores, where it is pretty easy to saturate the infinite fabric bandwidth.

Do you know why they would outfit it with LPDDR5 instead of regular DDR5? I don't have a good feel for the difference here. At first blush I would assume low power DDR would run slower not faster, but that doesn't seem to be the case anywhere I see it deployed.

> I noticed it takes a bit of effort to get native English speakers to pronounce the ы sound, or to get them to hear how the ь letter affects pronunciation.

But you are saying English speakers can learn it? How do Romance language speakers do? I'm just making a generalisation, which is not universal and there are plenty of vowel and consonant sounds English speakers really struggle to learn.

> children learning English as a first language are stuck memorising spelling and obscure rules and exceptions just to be able to write correctly.

Absolutely: it is a serious downside of English and plenty of adults never learn to spell well. I have seen the advantages of saying it like it is spelled in Spanish. But that isn't relevant to my point that English speakers have a natural understanding that spelling is disjoint from pronunciation. It maybe doesn't help much - hearing English speakers saying words they have learnt from books is painful!

Secondly, many English speakers often try to pronounce foreign names correctly - another habit that teaches us pronunciation (a little!)

This happened at my last job before retirement, before the pandemic. I heard later about it, there was a phone interview, things went well. The candidate was Indian, it was for a Salesforce admin or developer position, contractor, guy answered the questions well, etc. etc.

The guy that showed up barely spoke, could barely speak English, and could barely log in to Salesforce. I mentioned that the phone candidate was Indian because my guess is that the pair thought that the Americans wouldn't notice the difference but some of our people on the call were Indian and definitely noticed the difference in accents between phone guy and in person guy.

New guy lasted less than a day, was escorted out. Recruiter apologized A LOT.

Rewrites have a bad reputation in the business world because it's nearly impossible to sustain the political will to make it happen for long enough to actually complete the transition, so you get partial rewrites that were supposed to be full rewrites. Open source projects are usually governed by the contributors, so there's less pressure for them to call a rewrite off early if they were all on board to begin with.

1k Days of Distributed at Atlassian [pdf]
That's a thing for regular old RSS podcasts too: There are services that slice geo-targeted ads into your MP3 files.

Caught me somewhat by surprise one day when I walked past a hospital and got an ad in a podcast for that very hospital (GeoIP for my mobile IPv6 is correct at the zip code level).

In fact, Spotify even allows podcasts to deliver their own MP3s (if you meet the requirements for their "Passthrough" program), which gives distributors that don't want to use Spotify's ad platform more control and is probably a condition for them even listing on Spotify.

By default, and presumably also for old Spotify Connect devices that only support Vorbis, they reencode all files and cache them on their own CDN.
Did you know that fully analogue human-piloted cars are vulnerable? Researchers have recently described the "MadBrick attack": a malicious attacker can remotely disable a human-piloted car or cause it to veer off road by dropping a brick through the windshield from an overpass.

Clearly, we know reality through our senses and our ideas. That is uncontroversial. The problem is when one says (as I think you are) that our sensual perceptions and ideas are all we know, and that we can reasonably doubt that they ever refer to reality.

We know reality by means of our senses and ideas. We don't know our senses and ideas as such.

To repeat myself: if your claim is true, then the person who says "reacting hydrogen and oxygen will produce water and heat" can be no more, and no less, correct than the person who says "reacting hydrogen and oxygen will produce jello in the shape of George Washington's nose". Because if, as I think you claim, we know nothing but the "mental formulation of our mind", then our thoughts don't point to reality; and if this is true, we can't predict anything about reality. And therefore each of these two claims about chemistry is as valid as the other. Do you agree with this?

> If however, there were hypothetically some other observer that did not agree with you on these basic beliefs, such that they said that the detector turned on at time 2 and not 1, then what is the reality? What method do you have to confirm what is reality when two observers disagree on what was observed?

This is a red herring. We may never know who is right; that is different from saying that there is no reality to know.

Presumably the normal way (since they're talking about hosting bills). Rust is faster than Python assuming you don't go out of your way to make an inefficient program, and typically consumes fewer resources (though not always, but for roughly equivalent programs it should). This means you can get away with either fewer instances to perform the same amount of work, or the same number instances but for less total time. (Which benefit you get depends on the style of your system, but both will save you money.)

If both you and your competitor bank can come back 90 days later to withdraw fraudulent funds, you can advertise that your deposits are available immediately while theirs aren't. What is the risk to you? You can just pull the money back.

There is no technological roadblock from verifying within seconds that a) a bank account exists with the given account and routing number; b) it is associated with the name on the check being deposited; c) it has available funds to cover the balance of the check. As it stands the banks give you the money as soon as its deposited (or very shortly thereafter), but that's no risk to them. They can come back and get it whenever should they need to.

If you didn't allow them to do that, we'd have the infrastructure for instantaneous fraud checks/balance verification nearly overnight.

I still use and love asciinema, but will eventually check out vhs. It records terminal activity, outputs a gif, and you can publish to their[1] server.

Alternative you can feed it a "tape" file, aka a text file with a few configuration options and your ordered commands to run.

My workflow with asciinema sometimes has me cancelling out to redo w/ some minor change, so this tape concept is really attractive

The point isn't that there are many shops that don't really do Macs. The point is that there are many that do support Macs. It's pretty common in tech-company circles, at least. That's not everything, but it proves it's not weird.

This exactly hard on Google's caliber.

Not only do they have a bunch of requests for special modes where they can't simply add all without creating a mess, but at that size they also have to consider the support cost of users hitting the "wrong" mode and being tied to it and being frustrated.

WYSWIG is core to the product definition.

> Rewrites in general have a bad reputation

This is because of Spolsky's classic essay deriding rewrites, but that was in the context of a software company in a competitive market where the cost of a rewrite had to be weighed against the opportunity cost of letting your competitors erode your market share with shiny new features that you could have been matching otherwise.

Absent a competitive market (e.g. in volunteer OSS) rewrites are often quite successful, as long as they're undertaken by the original authors of the tool and as long as they avoid the second-system effect. (Note that nowhere does it say that rewrites must be in a new language.)
I actually don't have a problem with Google myself. I love gmail and I use Google FI for my cellphone service. I agree their security has been fantastic. The only criticism I have for them is that they give up too easily on their new ideas. They're known for not seeing anything new through. And, while they saw things like Android and Gmail through to the bitter end, it has been a long time since they've had a win like that. Bard is impressive, but they were late to the game. Which is ironic, since they pioneered the research that made LLMs possible. They're very careful and don't take risks. To win big, you have to risk big. And, when you're as big as Google you stop taking the big risks. I think if I had any advice for them, it would be to create and announce a new accelerator to fund new startups. Something exciting with lots and lots of cash behind it to whip up innovation. They can steer that and ride the success of all the ventures that it starts. They have some funds but they're pretty low key about them. Companies like Nvidia have been funding some pretty impressive stuff with their accelerator. It is about how much noise you generate with that kind of thing.

Ask HN: Those of you who don't use K8s, what are you using for deployment?
Looking to choose a deployment stack for our startup. It's a fairly standard web app + db + queue setup, and would need some basic failover strategy.

I am in the camp of engineers who feel that while k8s might be useful at some scale, it is unnecessary complexity for most; I am adamant about not using it. And so, I thought I'd turn to the community to get a sense of the current landscape and get suggestions for some good options to use in 2024.

* What's your current deployment stack? Would be very helpful if you can describe the process/tools in detail.
* How happy are you with it? If you could start from scratch, what would you change?
* How do you handle test/staging environments?
* Where do you deploy?
Geo-strategic competitors must be very pleased that their social media disinfo campaigns are so effective.
Five-Minute Rule
They really do need to do that in order for Podcasts to be supported on very old devices (that only support Spotify's APIs and DRM-ed Vorbis files), which I appreciate as a user of such an old device myself.

That said, they allow distributors to opt into "Passthrough" MP3 delivery to all modern devices (including browsers – just check the network tab in developer tools!), although it's not the default.
Over the last thirty years or so, it's been increasingly popular to see WW1 and WW2 as the same conflict, but with a pause for populations to stabilize and stocks to be rebuilt.

It's sometimes called "The Second Thirty Years' War", although I feel that labelling is misleading, as is, potentially, the core thesis. Careful reading of the diplomatic history illustrates that WW2, despite our popular notions, was not entirely inevitable, but, at least so far as Poland was concerned, was one more in a very long list of NSDAP f#ckups. 30 Year War Part II is a workable paradigm when considering the large scale causes of the 20th century conflicts. It's deeply, bitterly ironic that Europe was done in by the same intellectual framework that allowed them to dominate the rest of the world. Turns out, once you start throwing subhuman labels around, it's just a matter of time before the label lands on your neighbors.

> This, says Karl, makes for a virtual Mac display with low enough PPD to see individual pixels—not quite the standard desktop display experience.

I haven't seen any reviewers saying they can see pixels in AVP, in fact they usually say the opposite. So this part is surprising.

There's also a strange complaint about "not real 4K" but I'm far more interested in if it's a retina display or not.

i.e. if it visually manages to look like 227 PPI or better, then I'm happy.

In Apple world, retina 4K is 4096×2304, which is 9,437,184 pixels.

I never really understood it either. And I'm someone who (only moderately successfully) used to run Linux on various Mac laptops. I had the opposite problem: I really really really liked Mac hardware, but was kinda meh on the OS.

I think in the mid-00s I could understand Hackintosh users to some extent. Mac hardware was (and still is) expensive, and OS X was a really nice, developer-friendly OS. But macOS has gotten more and more annoying and (IMO) developer-/power-user-hostile with every release. On the rare occasions I have to touch a Mac laptop these days, I find myself getting easily frustrated.

I think for the most part the reasons today are still due to cost. And maybe a little bit of the hacker spirit, just proving that something is possible. I would never use it, but if some folks' ideal is macOS on non-Apple hardware, and can make it work to their satisfaction, more power to them.
No — but perhaps we could have negotiated a peace during a conference at Minsk a decade ago or in Feb 2022 at the outbreak of hostilities, rather than frantically send Boris Johnson to subvert it.

Russia has consistently angled for Ukraine to be a neutral border between two blocs to facilitate trade — and that clearly would have been better for Ukraine than a senseless slaughter which destroyed a generation, by maiming or killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions.

But that wouldn’t have satisfied warhawks like Victoria Nuland and the geriatric Cold Warriors (TM) who are intent on their senile, unhinged drive to destroy Russia as a nation.

That's really what it is to me too, and I'd consider myself pretty technical: A podcast is what I can listen to in the gym or on my bike without missing anything important on the video.

The only difference to an audiobook is that Podcasts are usually free and often (but not always) in serial format, but these boundaries are blurring more and more.

That said, I do definitely prefer open RSS distribution than something like "Youtube for Audio", and I'm glad there isn't any such thing (yet), but I wouldn't not call a podcast exclusive to Spotify, Apple etc. "not a podcast", just an annoyingly-distributed podcast.
