GLib also provides macros that use autocleanup.[0]

Using a bunch of macro magic, they allow you to write `g_autoptr(GPtrArray) arr = ...` to automatically unref arr when the scipe exits.
One footgun that autocleanup has and C++ smart pointers don't is, that the cleanup function isn't called on reassignment, so reassigning on a autoptr causes the previous value to leak.

I think current LLMs suffer from something similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect when it comes to reasoning - in order to judge correctly that you don't understand something, you first need to understand it at least a bit.

Not only do LLMs not know some things, they don't know that they don't know because of a lack of true reasoning ability, so they inevitably end up like Peter Zeihan, confidently spouting nonsense

Honestly? Only three finger drag. But just earlier I was holding coffee with the left hand, while using the trackpad to the right hand, and was glad I had three finger draw. I like doing "basic" mouse operations with only one hand (including right click: two fingers), and three finger drag works extremely well for me. I barely even think about it, it's automatic and an easy gesture for me.

I love avocados and lived several years in San Diego where the trees are ubiquitous and avocados are free. They are actually lovely trees generally though quite large. No one can deny that the marketing around avocados has been a huge success.

People are overthinking it. America has a large range of territory where avocados will do well. San Diego, with its Mediterranean climate that is more ideal than the actual Mediterranean, produces excellent avocados, but as the article points out, most avocados are produced in Mexico, which shares a climate with a huge swath of the southern US and translates to northern Africa.

Avocado ubiquity is possible. They also don’t really ripen on the tree, which makes them a flexible bit of vegetable. They have a lot of potential.

I collect watches, it's my dumb hobby, but there is a cult following in the community for Soviet watches especially Vostoks on the whole price : value that you get from them.

You can see that the factories and materials that were limited really influenced their approaches to design. It's fascinating to see how Soviet engineers approached problems such as shock absorption or bezel design in a completely different manner than their Swiss contemporaries.

They are harder to get considering sanctions after the war in Ukraine but many collectors do revere their watches. I wish Vostoks weren't as out there with their designs nowadays but I hope to collect a few down the line.
Damn that sounds like a great visit. It seemed like very interesting piece of history and I wanted to share the link here. I'm driving through Europe right now and wanted to go there but nobody answered my emails and the online reservation form doesn't seem to work. Would you know if they still do it around this time of the year?
It wouldnt keep happening were it not for the military wanting to share a supply chain and skills base with a civilian nuclear power industry.

That's why some countries gain and then lose interest in nuclear power as well - e.g. Poland has recently and suddenly gained interest in it because of Russia.

Ownership is not implementation. Ownership is contract. If you’re an owner of a house you can do more than if you’re only renting and if you’re renting you can do more than if you’re only looking at the house from the street. Ownership is a very useful concept that influences interfaces in real life so why wouldn’t it in programming?

There is no such thing as “brand new highways you can put wherever”.

Many highways expanded from major roads. The new segments (built where no major roads existed) had to connect existing major roads.

There were very clearly areas where roads were going to be built and where they were never going to be built.

The city also has to buyout existing homeowners, and hence a part of the decision is going to be “where will buyouts cost us the least”? Hence the lowest cost housing, again often owned by minorities.
There's a clear reason why - Texas has no interest in attracting well educated people. Well educated people tend to think through things like, "should we understand people have different lived experiences than me?"

I'm sure Texas is great if you are a white, cishet, conservative man! I'm not so sure it's great if you aren't all those things.
No. Google owns your phone and your browser, your email, your video feed and often your office productivity tools too.

All human eyeballs go through Google's advertising network first. (Unless you're an Apple-only person.)

So for advertisers it makes no sense to budget anything but Google first and foremost.
Maybe they'll add some Bing-Yahoo if they have spare money laying around and want to catch the remaining couple percent of the audience.

P.S. Search is only a small part of Google's advertising network, and not the most important one nowadays.

> This grid is what makes the rapid transition to renewable energies possible

No, it makes it possible to have nuclear base load plants in Hungary and Bulgaria and few other countries while some small country can play the renewable game at home. Renewables are not something that we can control. This makes them useless without a giant battery or power plants that are possible to scale up and down. The irony is that these power plants are usually gas turbines.

Even something like https://ndb.technology/ has a more serious vision for our energy future, much more serious than the usual we do not need base load just put a solar panel on everything movement largely driven by clueless politicians.

Most of the graffiti I see is on bridges over the freeway. This is distracting while driving, especially because freeway signs are also hung in that same place, so I look up there for relevant information and instead am distracted by various phrases that I don't understand. Often there's even graffiti on the freeway signs, sometimes covering up the text, making it unreadable. Yes, billboards have some similar problems, but that's somewhat mitigated because those are on the side of the road, not directly above it.

But you're right, certainly not as bad as a bank robbery.
It’s always a struggle for me to accept that many people actually like graffiti. Maybe graffiti can add flavour to a city if it’s really drab and ugly (although I’m not too sure about this), but it only defiles cities which are aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. The technicality of graffiti has little to do with its appeal or it’s appropriateness. Something can be hard to make but still be garbage and/or misplaced w.r.t it’s surroundings.

Houston made so much more sense as the tech hub for Texas. Way bigger, two top tier universities (with UT Austin in reach), built for scale, and lots of money (albeit in the super conservative energy industry, though they are trying to diversify)
The demographics matter. Is Florida's growth young, well educated professionals? Or are we seeing boomers retire there and a concentration of conservative retirees wanting to follow their politics.
Defacing is your opinion, I think a city without graffiti is a dead city, it's an improvement.
Sure, but you need to look at when the highways were built.

The inner city neighborhoods that are pricey today were often run down ghettos when these highways were being built (or on their way to it).
This algorithm seems to resemble HyperLogLog (and all its variants), which is also cited in the research paper. Using the same insight of the estimation value of tracking whether we've hit a "run" of heads or tails, but flipping the idea on its head (heh), it leads to the simpler algorithm described, which is about discarding memorized values on the basis of runs of heads/tails.

This also works especially well (that is, efficiently) in the streaming case, allowing you to keep something resembling a "counter" for the distinct elements, albeit with a error rate.

The benefit of HyperLogLog is that it behaves similarly to a hash set in some respects -- you can add items, count distinct them, and, importantly, merge two HLLs together (union), all the while keeping memory fixed to mere kilobytes even for billion-item sets. In distributed data stores, this is the trick behind Elasticsearch/OpenSearch cardinality agg, as well as behind Redis/Redict with its PFADD/PFMERGE/PFCOUNT.

I am not exactly sure how this CVM algorithm compares to HLL, but they got Knuth to review it, and they claim an undergrad can implement it easily, so it must be pretty good!
I've been using Foxit Reader https://www.foxit.com/pdf-reader/ for years to mark up PDFs. The new Firefox feature seems to be a pared-down version of Foxit Reader, which seems kind of redundant to me. I would much rather have the ability to actually edit a PDF, i.e. change existing text and images.

Cool list! I learned a lot of new things, kudos.

One suggestion: where you talk about using AsRef<[T]>, might be worth suggesting IntoIter, where it makes sense? IIRC that's what std uses for functions that aim at being generic over data structures and iterators (I might be remembering wrong, though).

In any case let's not digress from the truth: amazing list.
If is also hard to guarantee that, in a multi-tenant application, users will never see other users' data due to causes like mistakes AuthZ logic, caching gone awry, or other unpredictable situations that come up in distributed systems—yet even before the AI craze we were all happy to use these SaaS products anyway. Maybe this class of vulnerability is indeed harder to tame than most, but third-party software has never been without risks.
That's not really the other way around. That's 2 ways of stating basically the same thing.
The prospects of building something new with this tech are very distant. Just to get an approval for construction in Germany it can take years and then there will be traditional delays along the way. We won’t see it in any meaningful quantities before 2030-2040 - whether this project will survive until then is an open question.
The acute service problem on the other side could be addressed by simpler means like investment in IT and better internal processes. My last trip was cancelled one hour in advance, despite that they knew it couldn’t happen days before. I had to visit their travel center, because the app couldn’t apply my seat reservation to alternative route, and that experience was awful. It is very hard to understand why some tech that may never see the light due to bureaucratic hurdles deserves investment at the time where service doesn’t show any signs of improvement.

> It is more verbose than something like Go or Python

Quite debatable. My experience is different. I have ported some tiny amount of Go code to async Rust and it turned out to be simpler and shorter. Way less boilerplate related to cleaning up the resources - in Rust it was actually zero additional code thanks to RAII and really nice channel design, while Golang needed a lot of additional stuff like waitgroups or manual defers plus more channels to communicate obvious things which in Rust are simply passed by result of a future.

Rust also feels a lot more expressive than Go with functional collection transformation chains (map, reduce, filter, grouping etc) where in Go this is loops and ifs all the way down. Rust is very close to Python in this regard.

"Are Solar Panels Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste testing on solar panels in the marketplace has indicated that different varieties of solar panels have different metals present in the semiconductor and solder. Some of these metals, like lead and cadmium, are harmful to human health and the environment at high levels. If these metals are present in high enough quantities in the solar panels, solar panel waste could be a hazardous waste under RCRA. Some solar panels are considered hazardous waste, and some are not, even within the same model and manufacturer. Homeowners with solar panels on their houses should contact their state/local recycling agencies for more information on disposal/recycling."
