My experience is that the borrow checker is not that hard to deal with. There are two ways:

- you are a c/c++/low level guy who knows how allocation works very well and figure it out

- you are a java/c#/python guy who wants to get going and use clone() a lot

Either way, the performance that you get is worth the troubles.

These countries are known to have bad regulations and are easy to bribe, which creates a loophole for big corporations to get richer (and let's put aside how they get to the point of having bad regulations). However, remember that many developed countries import ingredients from the named countries, so saying "it's not my problem" can't be applied here.

Confusing title. From the article, it looks like glyphosate and genetic modification are two separate concerns. Which makes sense, since AFAIK there's no genetic modifications that give immunity to Roundup. Glyphosate is a general concern, since it's commonly used in the US even just to kill cover crops.

Is the usage of Roundup in the US monitored in any way? In the EU we have heavy campaigns against it, and it was supposed to be phased out by 2023, though that deadline got extended by 10 years, as the alternatives aren't there yet. The usage of Roundup is also heavily discouraged amongst farmers via subsidy incentives and general educational campaigns.

It’s advertising to drive people to concerts and merch.

Of course, generally people make music because they like making music, and streaming is a way to share it. If it connects with people, and they blow up, great. But if that’s the only drive they’ll probably have a bad time.

The same could be said about GitHub… why would anyone put their code up there for free, or work on these hobby projects, when they aren’t making money from it, or just get $100 in donations per year? It’s fun, the people enjoy it, they want to share the work they’ve done, and for some it’s a way to advertise themselves and what they can do.

Not everything needs to make someone a multimillionaire, especially in the arts.
This website is the real deal.

International train travel can be daunting, but the author has amazingly compiled all the knowledge you would ever need or want about this topic, in an easy-to-understand format, and with frequent updates (as timetables change).

There is no other resource that compares!
I think ot was Joel Spolsky who wrote about this with regards to working on MS excel. The ability to convert to the competitor’s format was the final nail in the coffin for them. Once they implemented that feature, there was almost no reason to go with the other spreadsheet. I would expect anything that reduces friction for switching to a competitor is going to be a competitive advantage since it removes risk from the decision.
I worked on a wide-area distributed system on 2010-2012. CAP and NoSQL was all the rage then (MongoDB is webscale, after all).

The approach we took was to have a single database node be the primary and another replicating from it asynchronously. When a node went offline, a third monitoring node made a decision to promote the backup to primary and communicate this decision to all clients. The three nodes were located in three different cities and as such the possibility of all three having issues at once was reduced. By doing this, we could literally pull the plug on the primary node and within 30 seconds the clients were talking to the backup-now-primary. If the monitoring node failed, of course we had no way of automatically switching database nodes but again it had to be a major issue for a node in Seattle to get cut off at the same time as the nodes in Dallas or DC. This worked because of the kinds of data we processed so that our 30 second failover time was acceptable AND a small window of lost writes was also OK.

I think another interesting approach is to have your nodes explicitly communicate write status when responding. Basically when you write(node1, key, val) and expect node1 to normally propagate the write to node2, in the case of a network partition node1 would respond with ack(key, nodes_written=[node1]) explicitly excluding node2 from nodes_written if it was unable to push the write to node2 in a timely fashion. Similarly, read(node1, key) could have node1 return resp(key, val, inconsistent=true) or again spelling out which nodes do or do not know this value.

This would give the application a way to decide if the write should be considered successful or not based on what key represents. For example, updating the current position of a fast moving object that sends updates all the time could easily lose a write or two without it being a problem for the user, but a financial transaction could not.

Lastly, the approach I never explored but was curious about is the idea of the client being responsible for pushing all values to all nodes rather than replication happening in the background. This would effectively allow the write to happen simultaneously and also know if the write was a fail, a partial success, or a full success. Then a read could be done from just one node, but before returning it would poll other nodes and return the value that is consistent amongst the majority of the nodes or a failure if it could not reach any of them.

Good analogy. It is. People's livelihoods and even people's lives are
at risk.

But we've utterly normalised digital ignorance and built what Edward
Snowden very rightly calls an "Insecurity Industry".

I'd go further, we've turned a celebration of ignorance around
cybersecurity and dismissive attitudes into virtuous slogans.

"Don't make me think" - Krug

"Move fast and break things" - Mark Zuckerberg

"If you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear" - J Random Idiot

And those who are charged with advising and protecting are deeply
conflicted - because they want backdoor access or at least insecure
products.

What it boils down to is that presently there's more money and power
in insecurity than there is in security. Our industry has multiple
principal agent, Shirky Principle and Pournelle's Law problems, see
[0].

We allow ransomware and stalkerware companies, and outfits like NSO
(which I only mention because they are most well recognised) to
operate as legitimate.

We flood markets with defective IoT crap and reduce consumers
expectations to the level of accepting vendor malware and backdoors
installed out of the box.

And then we turn around and complain that "stuff ain't secure".

This whole ship is DUI.

The one which got me was when I took our elderly Subaru in to the dealer for a combination of recall and maintenance work a few years back. They gave me a loaner which normally works as a sales encouragement but in my case the experience was terrible. CarPlay should have been an easy sell - the one we own lacks it - but that meant using a slow touchscreen to close a dialog every time you start the vehicle, and then it crashed because the 10k tracks in my music collection is apparently more than the designer ever considered possible, which meant another modal dialog to dismiss before actually using anything. When I dropped the loaner off two days later, it was such an implausible relief to go back to a vehicle with fewer features but 100% of them working reliably and instantly.

This is still somehow better than the Microsoft mess Ford shipped in the same era where it would crash and reboot, so I could only pair it using Bluetooth.
> And I think most users would prefer software that does stuff instantly

User research feels differently, but with numbers.

> These things almost universally degrade the interface and I've yet to see the actual benefit of them

> When you think about it, that is the opposite of good interface design.

Having been a professional software designer, I assure you I've thought about this. And explored it, researched it, tested it, prototyped it, interviewed people about it, built it, rebuilt it, and then did it all over again to improve it. Re-read the last paragraph in my comment.

> A good interface is one you do not notice – it puts as little as possible between user and machine.

On second thought, re-read the whole comment.
Happy Science – The Institute for Research in Human Happiness
Fundamental principles often just formally state the obvious.

People who want CAP to be profound and useful are missing the point - it just tells you some things that you might want to try to achieve are provably impossible. Just like Newton’s first law tells you things can’t accelerate without a force (duh) and the first law of thermodynamics tells you you can’t get energy out of a perpetual motion machine (duh) and the pigeonhole principle tells you if you put n things in less than n groups, at least one group has more than one thing in it (duh); CAP tells you you can’t build a distributed, partitionable data system that is 100% consistent and 100% available (duh).

It’s not that deep or profound but it is proven and it eliminates a whole class of ideas from meriting further thought because they’re demonstrably impossible. That lets us get on with making the most of what is possible.

By this logic humans could nuke the entire planet and that would still be “part of nature”.

I think it tends to be easier for people on HN to get caught in this kind of “but it’s technically true” fallacy. We’re trained to constantly look for patterns and generalize the crap out of things so it’s a natural inclination.
Funny, it was the other way for me. Dragonball was on in the early mornings and Sailor Moon was in the afternoon.

Depends on the wavelength. Unlike my (deceased) dad, I never studied or worked on radar, but from what I remember, if an object is much smaller than a wavelength then the structure blurs out of focus so it acts basically like a sphere of about the same size.

This is also why some radio telescopes can get away with mesh wire antennas.

> You want to have weird password rules? Fine.

I'd be fine with storing the password policy in the password manager, and having it generate based on that policy next time.

And having all sorts of weird stuff in a password isn't necessary, so neither is the policy. To top it all off, many of the sites obsessed with password quality actually limit password length. Why?! You are comparing passwords hashes and storing them as hashes, right? So the length shouldn't matter.

Allow passwords of effectively unbounded length, set a reasonable minimum length, and don't obsess about password 'complexity'.

And for the love of all that is good, don't eff with paste.
I think we are in agreement, that 3D printed buildings are feasible but impractical.

I never claimed that it was impossible, but that there are fundamental differences which makes squirting out thermoplastic out of a small nozzle quite convenient, and concrete out of a huge one, quite problematic.

The thing you wrote about lintels, and some of the stuff I've seen about reinforcement with rebars on the link you provided, which all need to be done manually make the process labor intensive, the issue 3D printed building were designed to solve in the first place.

I'm honestly puzzled by some of the techniques, where one guy is spraying shotcrete at a rebar structure - what is being 3D printed at this point?

And the resulting building will be a concrete house - not necessarily the most environmentally conscious, beautiful, energy efficient, best insulating material.

Sorry to be nitpicky-- I largely agree with your comment-- but I always must point out that interface design is a communication medium, not an aesthetic medium. Like technical writing, it's a communication medium even if there are some secondary aesthetic considerations.

This (among other reasons) is why I'm moving a few of my C projects over to Rust. Whenever I'm spending a half hour debugging why my build system isn't picking up some file or some flag is getting passed wrong, I end up asking myself, "Why am I doing this?"

My entire build system in Rust projects consists of the commands "cargo build", "cargo run", and "cargo test" and I have yet to find a reason to deviate from the default filesystem structure or configurations.

To be clear there are real reasons to still be writing C. No hate to the author of this post. I just don't want to be doing it any more in most cases.
I am NOT a lawyer or a court.

but I would read Article 6 (7) and (12) as such.

"7. The gatekeeper shall allow providers of services and providers of hardware, free of charge, effective interoperability with, and access for the purposes of interoperability to, the same hardware and software features accessed or controlled via the operating system or virtual assistant listed in the designation decision pursuant to Article 3(9) as are available to services or hardware provided by the gatekeeper. Furthermore, the gatekeeper shall allow business users and alternative providers of services provided together with, or in support of, core platform services, free of charge, effective interoperability with, and access for the purposes of interoperability to, the same operating system, hardware or software features, regardless of whether those features are part of the operating system, as are available to, or used by, that gatekeeper when providing such services.

The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking strictly necessary and proportionate measures to ensure that interoperability does not compromise the integrity of the operating system, virtual assistant, hardware or software features provided by the gatekeeper, provided that such measures are duly justified by the gatekeeper.
"

"12. The gatekeeper shall apply fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory general conditions of access for business users to its software application stores, online search engines and online social networking services listed in the designation decision pursuant to Article 3(9)."

"They insulted us", "we have a (now unenforcable) contract" or "we have a US judgment" does probably not count as a justifiable exception. It doesnt seem fair or reasonable at all given that the underlying "violations" of their TOS are now explicitely legal under the DMA.

If you feel that the DMA primarily binds Apple instead of Epic in this case that is because it does. It was written to limit the control gatekeepers have over "their" plattform.

Courts will decide in the end.

It's a cool experience. But I can't help thinking, it's not terribly remarkable - there's an eclipse going on perpetually, and it's called 'a shadow'. Behind the moon at the right place in space, this is happening right now.

And why don't we get all excited about 'terrestrial eclipses'? They are more common. Like, every night. Always 'total'.
