I installed mark to investigate turning lots (a couple of hundred) of local PDFs into study guides and/or summaries. All of the PDF links bombed, mostly due to UTF-8 decode errors - which is fine. I pdftotext'd a few and ran into RateLimit Errors.

Otherwise - very promising!
There's definitely a certain style with VFDs that I'm a little surprised hasn't been adopted by people looking for a retro/cyberpunk aesthetic. I was looking into them when it seemed my decades old alarm clock might need a replacement, and they seem quite rare which I assume the economies aren't there in making something more complex and delicate. Interestingly there's a few clocks repurposing cooker displays, I'd guess a manufacturer had a large stockpile of displays for models they discontinued early and liquidated them.
This is genius, and very well described.

Could be a meaningful bridge between “nocode” and code, avoiding what seems like a common pain point of eventual nocode limitations. I know there are other solutions in this space, but yours is very nicely done.

Please continue work on this, and yell out if you need collaborators.
Unity is free, can publish for free, it includes physics.
Fair point. I should perhaps have said putting words in someone's mouth. Anyway far too much on this side point, I'll bow out here.
Everybody has their own personal lines in the sand. People need to work for a living because we're not in a magical, post-need society. Every company has its flaws. Each company has some subjective amount of flaws/sins/evil, and everybody makes their own decision about what they're willing to do for money.

Helping a company use some sleazy dark patterns to make some extra money off of Taylor Swift tickets is honestly pretty mild on the scale of evil software engineering jobs, so I imagine their answer is "I built a system to sell entertainment, now my kids get to go to private school, and I sleep great at night."

Ticketmaster sucks, but it's not like he's working for Palantir, Lockheed Martin, or TikTok.

Well statistically Airbus is currently safer than Boeing, and as a consumer I have a choice to choose which plane to fly in, at least for my regular routes. Now you tell me why should I pick Boeing over Airbus?
I have often heard it said that if we found a cure for cancer we would also get a cure for aging. The one immortal human I know is Henrietta Lacks (or her cancer rather).
escape velocity in this context means that you stay at least one step ahead of dying, through medical advances, to the point that the first immortal human (at least one who will not die of old age) may have already been born.
Surely you can keep it backwards compatible AND give people access to the new good stuff?
Basically it kept cutting out right around the speed limit (may have been 5mph over) on the highway. It wasn't "smart" just an absolute limit. (I think wherever I was had a relatively high speed limit for the time--maybe 70--so it was probably some standard governor setting which was sort of unreasonable for where I was, but a long time ago.)

> Why does the OS not provide a way to do this?

Some do.

But you need to have a strong-handed OS team that's willing to push everybody towards their most modern and highly integrated interfaces and sunset their older interfaces.

Not everybody wants that in their OS. Some want operating systems that can be pieced together from myriad components maintained by radically different teams, some want to see their API's/interfaces preserved for decades of backwards compatibility, some want minimal features from their OS and maximum raw flexibility in user space, etc
> But this means that all of that code that isn't marked `unsafe`, but instructs the GC about what objects to mark or not, is really super unsafe because if it makes a logic error in telling the GC what to mark then the GC will delete an object that it should not have deleted.

By putting it in a GC structure, it would be giving ownership to the GC, and would borrow it back to use. So whenever it's not borrowed, it's safe for the GC to delete it. And the GC won't delete anything outside of its control.

If you have a logic error and prematurely delete, then attempting to borrow the object will return None, which is still safe.

> It's totally valid to tell RC "I want to point at this object so keep it alive".

> But that's not the API that the GC will give you, unless it's a pinning API. The API where you tell the GC "keep this alive" will prevent the deletion of the garbage cycles I mentioned earlier.

The idea is that any pointing/pinning you do while manipulating an object would be a borrow on the stack. As soon as the function returns, there's no pinning.

So there's a few things that exist in this system:

* A GC-object references another GC-object, keeping the target alive while it is alive. A GC-object can be created by either Rust or JS. The loop you describe would be made up of GC-objects, so it would be straightforward to collect.

* A non-GC object has a permanent pinning reference to a GC-object. These are rare and purposeful.

* (Optional) A non-GC object has a weak reference to a GC-object, which can be collected at any time.

* Rust code has a temporary pinning reference to a GC-object on the stack, while traversing/manipulating it, and it goes away as soon as the function exits. It won't pin too long because the release is automatic. It won't free prematurely because the GC code knows the borrow is happening.
i can see it making sense if the flight price and other details are identical, but even the remotest difference you care about (like a $1 price differential) should matter more than this
> we're getting a lot better at treating cancer,

Is this really true? I know we are getting better in diagnosing cancers, so the time from initial diagnosis to death is longer, but it's not clear that overall lifespan of people with all cancers is any longer. If anything, because treatment starts sooner, quality of life may have diminshed.

It is definitely true that treatments for some cancers have improved over the last couple of decades. I find the immunotherapies particularly exciting and seemingly promising.

But in the broader cases I am not sure I could agree with your statement.
You've posted a case study of 'How to lie with statistics'.

This is a chart of incidents, but it doesn't define what an incident is (did anyone get hurt? how many people were hurt? how badly? was it a near-miss, or did the many layers of redundancy in safety handle it fine?), and it doesn't normalize it to incident/flight or incident/mile.

Does Malaysia Airlines having one airplane shot down by the Russians, and another sent into the drink by a pilot-mass-murder-suicide count as an incident? Are either of them Boeing's fault? Are anti-SAM missile defenses supposed to be a standard feature on commercial airliners?

The MAX crashes obviously were, and the MAX has a very bad safety record as a result.

The claim (Boeing is worse than Airbus) is probably correct, but that chart is horrible evidence for it, or for how much worse one is, compared to the other. If you're going to provide evidence for this claim, you need to find something better.
My guess is that it breaks important edge cases that we're not thinking of typically? I'm reminded of trying to fiddle with Widevine on the Raspberry Pi because there was no good reason for it not to be a solid media player.
> why would you need a gun that shoots people

Resisting the urge to be snarky, self defense is a legitimate answer. You may not live somewhere where it's common (or you may not frequently feel unsafe) but wanting the ability to have a weapon to defend yourself (or more commonly to show that you have the ability to defend yourself) from any assailant is a very real thing for people both in the US and around the world.

There are plenty of women with restraining orders against men who would do them harm who would very much suffer consequences, and be made much more afraid for their safety, if it weren't for "guns that shoot people".

Have you ever worked as a first responder and seen the stupid things people do?

There's a straight road, almost no traffic, and someone still manages to hit an oncoming car because they feel that they really need to overtake that slow asshole right now but are too stupid to check if there's anyone coming towards them in the other lane.

People are fucking stupid. And I'm also including myself in that, because I've been the stupid idiot in a few situations -- fortunately always had good luck and never caused a serious accident.

Not really! The main live video technologies work by having a playlist file which is a list of URLs that updates frequently and a bunch of short video files. So the caching of the short video files would be unaffected.
So you "quantify" something by presenting made up data? I can do that too. Boeing is 94848% safer - feel better?

I use KeepassXC and synchronize the encrypted database across my devices using my own Nextcloud instance. But even if I used a mainstream cloud provider, that wouldn't matter since the db is encrypted and decrypted locally.
Regarding trusting the frontend, in my case I just need to check that KeepassXC itself isn't sending data around. Which I admit I didn't do so far, but in my view the alternative of reusing password is much more likely to get you in trouble compared to the likelihood of KeepassXC sending your data to a tird party without anyone noticing.
No, you are not the only one. My body does the same thing, and I think this is related to lower amounts of oxygen in the air. It's not about the noise (noise canceling headphones do wonders), it's definitely about the air.

But apparently there are people who are not affected by this at all and can do useful work on airplanes.
I was thinking more along the lines of a stadium crowd than an outdoor festival, but yes: I agree. I've had miserable luck with 2.4GHz stuff in festival environments where people camp out for a few days. :)

I don't pay very much attention to the ticket-scanning devices while I'm getting into a big show (which is generally a rather unpleasant experience on my side), but:

Don't they allow usage of 5GHz bands? Unlike 2.4GHz, I've had tremendous success with 5GHz bands in all kinds of environments -- including outdoor festivals.
There is a reason not a single modern commercial rocket startup uses a hydrolox core, solid boosters and a hydrogen upper stage. Late staging makes it impossible to ever develop real re-usability.

The first stage engine, is very old and very expensive and slow to build. Its a gas-generator and not a very well optimized one. Solids are simply not competitive and only used by government launchers.

Its an architecture that goes back to the Post-Apollo area. The believe in hydorgen fuel and solids is inspired by the Shuttle. Ariane 5 was literally design for a Shuttle clone type system.

The Upper stage, while having an amazing modern engine (20 years in development), is actually just terrible in terms of structural design and is getting out-performed massively by Vulcan 5, Falcon 9 Upper stage and new entrance like Neutron.

The system requires 3 different types of propulsion systems and all of them in low volume. Yeah why would that not be efficient.

SpaceX on the other hand only uses two variants of the same engine. Despite re-usability that engine gets produced in high volumes.

So for each $ invested in better engines, SpaceX improves its whole stack. Arianespace needs to optimize 3 radically different engine system to improve its whole stack.

This partially explains why SpaceX radically out innovated Arianespace even in the same rocket generation.

Go look at what the French Space agency proposed for their 'Ariane Next' design only a few years after Ariane 6 was agree on. It was basically a Falcon 9 design.

Think of the Ariane 6 design like a WW1 bi-plane design evolved for use early in WW2 and we are now already going into post WW2 war jet fighters with systems like Starship/Raptor.

I understood what the commenter was saying and the "security implication." I am mocking the thing that people want: to use Google Chrome but with the "googly" bits removed. It isn't super practicable. Just use Firefox.
I wonder if the bandwidth even costs Google anything any more. Certainly they have peering agreements with any large ISP already. And they need some sort of egress to balance all the data collection they're doing from a bazillion Android devices and Chrome instances.
I’m joking a bit, but I do think it’s important to articulate the purported harms of claims of anti-competitive behavior. What did they do with this capability? How did that harm their competitors? Is the actual conduct worth getting up in arms about?
if the time is even 5 minutes better or the price even $1 better, that should trump any difference in risk profile

>>Even in that situation, hitting the brakes and aborting the overtake maneuver is the safer option.

I'm sure you can imagine a scenario where it's impossible to abort - the vehicle incoming is a 40 tonne truck, they won't stop in time to not hit you, you can't merge back into your lane, and there is no room on the other side to escape to - your only option is to accelerate and hope for a tight squeeze.

>>If you push on the accelerator, you are just increasing the risk

Or saving your life, depending on the outcome.

Like I said, it's a situation no one shouldn't be in. But you asked for a clear example where accelerating helps, and that is one, as rare as it is.

I hate environment variables so much. They’re the source of so much pain and suffering.

I never write code that uses envvars. Always use cmdline args or a config file.

If I were designing an OS I’d do everything in my power to not have an envvar API. It’s probably not possible, but damnit I’d try
Not the OP but I believe they are referring to the idea that if longevity research causes lifetime extension to be possible, then some folks think they can then avoid age-based death entirely. I think that the crux of the argument is that once we find "THE reason" why we age and if we can halt/end that process then we have beaten senescence.

I personally think this view is too simplistic about how our bodies work and overly optimistic that we a) won't hit other limiting factors that aren't hit today by ~100 and b) that interventions to stop senescence won't have unexpected side effects.

Given the value of an "authentic" painting of the Starry Night (or more realistically the value of something forged in, say, Samwise Didier's style) I can't agree with "no one".

I have to imagine that it's likely quite popular to sell AI generated art that mimics or copies existing works.
Someone is taking the other side of the trade. Presumably they have a reason for making that trade, so I don't see how higher volume makes people worse off. Probably some of those trades are wealth destroying (due to transaction costs) but it is destroying traders' and speculators' wealth, not some random person who can't afford it, since if you trade rarely your transaction costs are lower than before HFT became prominent.
You were the one originally implying Airbus is as dangerous as Boeing, so the burden of proof is on you. I'll take this as confirmation you have no data to support your claim. Cheers.
Recently been diving into Nix, elixir, gleam and F#. Heavily agree with you. One benefit of Elixir or Gleam is the friendly syntax and style that makes things easier to digest. That helps me quickly apply things to new situations. Nix is like the complete opposite, I struggle to understand other people's configs unless its super well commented.

Some of that is probably unavoidable as Nix is used by users aiming to solve fundamentally complex problems
I also came to promote direnv (and nix-direnv) since I have just started using them: they are a little more automatic and resemble python’s venv.

> That's why GP suggested annotating them. Typically this would be done via a function attribute.

That won't help when you link external functions or worse, dynamically load them. Those are things done long after the compiler has run.

> And libc implementations already annotate many of their functions to tell the compiler how they work. Compilers are also more than happy to assume behavior of standard function matches the C/C++ standards in non-freestanding environmnets.

We're not talking about standard functions here, we're talking about any function any developer could ever call in a signal context. Ever. Like, for example, a libssh shutdown function that invokes a callback that calls a syslog function that does some socket operation on a buffer that some other thread has already freed. Which of those functions needs the annotation, and how does dlsym() deal with it?
For Verizon owned routers? For company owned and supported equipment, I can understand it. I might not like it, but I can understand it. Especially if they are on the hook for support.

But, that’s why I run my own router for internet access. It’s my router and I can control what it does. If it goes down, then that’s on me. And I’m okay with that. Would I necessarily want the same setup for my parents? Probably not…

Download/watch/interact with in any way. I doubt they care about any one person not using their services. It's just that watching youtube using youtube.com or using their app (which I won't even install) is such a shitty experience that it isn't worth it to me. I'd rather never see another youtube video again than subject myself to it.

I doubt enough people will reach that level of fed up for it to hurt Google's profits, but that doesn't matter to me. I was happy enough to use youtube and give google my data on my own terms. If a workaround to this issue can't be found I'll be disappointed by Google's decision to cut off third party applications, but they won't be successful in trying to force me to accept their terms.

Knee-jerk? The entire flawed premise of the Max development was based on the economics of not having to retrain/re-certify flight crews above all else.

No thank you! The planes do things that Boing didn't tell the pilots about. That's not confidence instilling! Juan Brown of the Blancolerio youtube channel has mentioned that on at least two different occasions - and as a professional pilot was pretty miffed at basically being mislead by Boeing.

What we are seeing in Boeing are not just one-off lapses, but systemic failures in judgement and processes. Software processes, manufacturing processes, test and validation processes. There is serious rot at Boeing and until they get back to an engineering focus I won't be flying on any of their newer stuff - period!
Yes. This is the big reason the recycle rates are currently fairly low, there just isn't much to recycle yet thanks to the longevity of EVs and the relatively healthy secondary market.

I've been somewhat optimistic about decarbonization via electrification in the past few years. Despite the very vocal opponents online we have been installing increasing amounts of solar and wind generation each year, and EVs are getting up near the tops of sales charts. Battery storage is starting to ramp the way solar did and I'm hopeful that in a few years we will be seeing a serious reduction in CO2 emissions.

Already we are seeing industry pushback with astroturf campaigns complaining that the woke are stealing food from trees. That's how you know people are making a difference.
Looking at today's AV Herald, I see a collection of A)ccidents and I)ncidents from June 27th to July 9th.
