My life experience has been that there's a "sane person's mental model" and then there's Municipal Bureaucrazy and nere the twain shall meet

So, yes, it's possible there is already trenching and it could even be that said conduit are owned by the taxpayer, but as far as random citizen pulling fibre through them ... I have fears. That story gets worse with the number of articles that I have read where Local Incumbent ISP bribes^Wlobbies a city councilperson to slow roll or straight-up deny any such request, making it doubly not a technology problem
That would be a redline for me, if a critical safety decision gets axed by a bean counter I bounce.
> AIDS if infected in 2018 would be rare.

That's incorrect. 8-10 years is generally reported as the "average" time from infection to AIDS, but faster progressions are by no means rare. One study found that up to 13% of newly infected patients may develop AIDS within one year. Developing AIDS 6 years out from infection is certainly unfortunate but by no means rare.
Haha. Nope. Maybe Nim, V*, Go*, or Elixir would be a better choice for such a use-case.

Sorry, yes I meant avoidable.

I'm aiming this in terms of businesses and corporations, not international conflicts and wars.

Ultimately, when it comes to businesses and corporations that are in direct connection with life and death (e.g., drug companies, architecture firms, power companies, water companies, etc), then everything must be done within their power to ensure that the risk of death is minimized as much as humanly possible. Either by de-prioritizing profits, ensuring equitable access, or any other measures that are necessary.

I understand that a company has to make a profit somewhere. But a drug company that manufactures a drug for $4/pill and then selling it for $10,000/month to treat a disease that will kill without it - all while using taxpayer funds/grants/federal money to fund the research is heinous, greedy, and antithetical to what it means to be a human in a society.

Private power companies (like my local one, Georgia Power) making $2bn/year charging $180/month for a 1 bedroom, 660sqft apartment is criminal. Especially as I understand and knew many families growing up that would spend half their month with no power until their next paycheck.

It's on me that my original comment was absolutist, but it's my principles.
I worked on many of Activision's games 1995-2000 and C++ was the overwhelming choice of programming language for PC games. C was more common for console. In 1996 the quality of MSFT IDE/ Compiler, plus the CPUs available at the time was such that it could take an hour to compile a big game. By 1998 it was a few minutes. As I recall I think MSFT purchased another companies compiler and that really changed Visual Studio.
You just fall back to whatever use used to generate power before solar. From the article, it's gas generators. If you have money, battery storage.
This is all good news, I suppose, but I think that if it were widely adopted the system would fail. I doubt the libraries pay enough to support the news rooms if everyone tossed aside their subscriptions and started using the library's subscription.

No the EU has the EMA which approves drugs for all European countries in collaboration with national drug agencies. And the EMA FDA and japanese agency are pretty well aligned.

Ask HN: Should I put "intangible" skills on my resume/portfolio?
I'm not sure if intangibles in the right word, thus the quotes, but do skills like self-teaching, task prioritization, requirements analysis, time estimation and solving problems with the subconscious mind belong on a developers resume?

I feel like these are very valuable skills but a lot of people will see them as wishy-washy or non-concrete.

Vaguely waving at the problem while continuing to individualize the solution through "choosing" electric cars, "choosing" to install solar panels on houses, and telling people to turn off their home AC meanwhile the 1.3M sq ft vacant office buildings up and down the street blast AC night and day with no repercussion!
> Rust also is opinionated that you don't want to write shared libraries or plugins.

Not having a solution is not the same as having an opinion.

If you have years to spend on plugging at ABI stabilisation, generics and proc macros in dynamic linking, and redistributable std, I’m sure the core devs would be happy for you to.

> Rust also really wants you do to use their build system and package manager, you can avoid both but everything will fight you.

What do you mean everything will fight you? It sounds like you’re confusing rust and its ecosystem.

I only skimmed this article, but, despite it being very negative about Rust, I almost 100% agree with it: Rust is a HORRIBLE choice for game dev. I might quibble with how they outline the costs and benefits of some of the design patterns that rust forces you into, for instance I think command lists are actually incredibly useful and perfectly fine as a game development thing and not the huge problem they consider them to be, and generational arenas basically solve any pointer ownership problems in game development in my opinion, but they are right in the main.

I know, because I've tried it. Once. I would #never* recommend Rust to game developers, especially not indie ones. In fact I'd recommend against it strenuously!

And this is precisely because Rust is explicitly and knowingly focused on correctness, safety, perfectly clean code, etc at the cost of iteration speed and flexibility and dynamicism, and that's bad for designing game mechanics and even just getting a game done — games have an inherently short life span and development cycle, so safety and correctness and code quality don't matter a whole lot. It's okay if they crash, etc, as long as they work enough to play. It's okay if the code is ugly, you probably won't be working on it for very long. This is even moreso the case, as the author says, because in writing a game you really want to be able to iterate quickly and just. Do shit as an experiment, even if it's temporary, to see how it feels.

On the other hand, who I would recommend Rust to is the people writing game engines, where you really will probably be working on that code for years to come, where stability and correctness is pretty important, and so where Rust's strengths will really shine — but crucially, even then, I'd tell them to make it a real engine, not a game framework like Bevy, by adding a highly flexible, dynamic scripting language like Lua or even C#, and a data format for specifying scenes and entities, and an editor. That way you don't write your game in Rust at all!
Speechless and impressed.
Android TV has access to your entire account–but Google is changing that
I've been working in gamedev since 2007 and toyed with Rust since 2014. I simply don't think that majority of games, especially indie games, have performance requirements high enough to justify using anything other than a high-level, garbage collected language.

Of course, some titles like Factorio are outliers. But for majority of games time you would spend to work with manual memory management in C or borrow checker in Rust would better be spent on other things.
The Left-Right bias is more clear when you look at the general population vs specific interest groups.

Voters in low population states have outsized political power and therefore get handouts. Same deal with elderly voters because they vote more often and everyone expects to get old Meanwhile groups who vote less often like 18-24 year olds get fucked over.

I also had mostly-good experiences with Google Fiber (née Webpass) coming to the condo building, although despite their name it came in via WISP on the roof. I could have thrown a rock and hit the Webpass building from my condo but ... at least it wasn't Comcast and the whole building got gigabit IPv6 service for what any one of the owners would have paid for it from Comcast. I bet our units being pre-wired for Ethernet made the situation easier, but depending on the size of the HOA I'd guess not insurmountable even if one had to pull cat6 later
Why no screen Fridays, as opposed to a weekend day?
If you’re referring to game dev specifically, there have been (and continue to be) concerns around the weight of C++ exception handling, which is deeply-embedded in the STL. This proliferated in libraries like the EASTL. C++ itself however is intended to have as many zero-cost abstractions as possible/reasonable.

The cost of exception handling is less of a concern these days though.

Depends on what you define as "file I/O", though. NTFS filenames are UTF-16 (or rather UCS2). As far as file contents, there isn't really a standard, but FWIW for a long time most Windows apps - Notepad being the canonical example when asked to save anything as "Unicode" would save it as UTF-16.
Just to build on this, many drug and device companies specifically run early trials in the developing world or eastern Europes specifically because the costs are so much lower.

Part of the costs are labor and materials, the majority is regulatory burden. It is a well established financial de-risking activity before spending the hundreds of millions more for a US/EU trial.

Edit for visibility:

The drugs in this trial are all previously developed and approved by other companies, some as early as the 1950s. They ran the trials in Kazakhstan, India, and similar developing countries.
They have no manufacturing and supply chain, because they buy commercially available generics off the shelf for pennies.

You've got it backwards. McKinsey itself doesn't disclose their clients or their advice, but their clients are, AFAIK, under no such obligation. More to the point, it's not so much about broadcasting to the rest of the world, it's about giving cover internally within a huge enterpise that "hey, we're just following McKinsey's advice", and certainly nearly everyone internally knows that McKinsey is involved.

Financially, they are the same.

The game dev industry could form a consortium to launch its own dedicated general purpose language built from scratch to compile very fast like V or Go, run predictability, be much safer, be more reusable, and be extremely productive with the lessons learned from C, C++, C#, and more.

Also, I think LLMs will be able to run against code bases to suggest mass codemods to clean things up rather than having humans make a zillion changes or refactoring fragile areas of tech debt. LLMs are already being applied to generate test cases.

> If someone tells you that your line of research is uninteresting, just do the research anyway.

My graduate advisor said that to me and put me on some other stuff he wanted to work on. It really took the wind out of my sails, and I never really had the passion for the new work that I did for my original idea.

My final year he got a new PhD student and let her work on the idea. She was quite successful in that area. He never said anything to me about it.

TLDR if you have an idea you're passionate about it, ignore the haters and just do it. Even if it doesn't succeed, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you pursued something YOU found interesting.

> Is blurring good for compression? I don't know what that means.

Consider lossless RLE compression schemes. In this case, would data with low or high variance compress better?

Now consider RLE against sets of DCT coefficients. See where this is going?

In general, having lower variance in your data results in better compression.

> Our vision is sensitive to high-frequency stuff

Which is exactly why we pick up HF noise so well! Post-processing houses are very often presented with the challenge of choosing just the right filter chain to maximize fidelity under size constraint(s).

It's trivial to perform edge detection and build a mask to retain the most visually-meaningful high frequency data.
