That seems like readability is even more important! I've taught programming to friends and family my entire life (to anyone who wants to learn), and one thing I always focus on is 'telling a story with comments', explaining how, where, and why data flows through the code. At the end, reread your comments and your code and figure out which one is wrong; then refactor.

Had Kubernetes and Docker not taken off, after pivoting from Java and Python to Go, and most likely we wouldn't be even talking about Go.

And now that those legends aren't even guiding the language design any longer, it is only going to get better.

Mind you, so did every other HN commentator and it's something that rarely comes up when forums speculate on the transport of stones in the UK for ancient monuments.

It's easier to stack up the "weird non local" stones dropped at the end of a valley after a glacial retreat than it is to transit them ~1,000 km without a crane and a truck.

Sorry, I don't get what you mean.

Some denounce the "slippery slope" arguments as a fallacy in arguments - but denouncing a slope is only sometimes a fallacy, not always (it is a weak correlation). In case elzbardico intended to imply that the original proposal was a fallacy, he was replied the relevant slope is real. "If we unleash without restraint here, the place will fill with noise". Reasonable restraint makes this place a better place for its purpose.

Agreeing with moralestapia in that this isn't something to downvote. We're seeing this with water utilities, where outside companies are brought in under contract to solve water efficiency issues as droughts get worse. Cibola Arizona was recently a victim of Greenstone Resource Partners doing this to "solve" a water shortage in Phoenix. A water shortage the Arizona and California governments caused by not placing stricter water limits in place for agriculture and not fighting for better allotment for households.

What's worse is any maintenance or repair done by those companies is done to the existing standards with the expectation of continual failure of the same type to ensure continual work and guarantee the usefulness of current stockpiled inventory, instead of replacing problem infrastructure with improved versions that would theoretically be less failure prone and cost the overseers and thus the public less money. Short distance powerlines are a great example of the U.S. using standards that are a century old in order to create work, because if there are overhead powerlines somebody has to trim the branches that hang over the lines, somebody has to grow the trees that make new pylons, somebody has to buy the equipment to restring the lines when they go down, somebody has to manufacture the pole transformers, and so on.
2, 4, and 5 from this list of uses of "fermentation" also describe the microbial action involved in decomposition:

"""Below are some definitions of fermentation ranging from informal, general usages to more scientific definitions.[3]

1. Preservation methods for food via microorganisms (general use).

2. Any large-scale microbial process occurring with or without air (common definition used in industry, also known as industrial fermentation).

3. Any process that produces alcoholic beverages or acidic dairy products (general use).

4. Any energy-releasing metabolic process that takes place only under anaerobic conditions (somewhat scientific).

5. Any metabolic process that releases energy from a sugar or other organic molecule, does not require oxygen or an electron transport system, and uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor (most scientific)."""

[3] Microbiology An Introduction (10 ed.). San Francisco, CA: Pearson Benjamin Cummings. p. 135. ISBN 978-0-321-58202-7 — apparently, but I can't confirm because the thing was removed form archive.org

Also, compare this:

> and the result is a lowering of the milk pH

with this:

"""Once the heart stops, the blood can no longer supply oxygen or remove carbon dioxide from the tissues. The resulting decrease in pH and other chemical changes cause cells to lose their structural integrity, bringing about the release of cellular enzymes capable of initiating the breakdown of surrounding cells and tissues.""" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition

So yeah, I'm sticking with my claim: in conventional usage, the same chemo-biological mechanisms get different names depending on if you like the result or not.
To expand on this a little bit: TLS and other cryptosystems usually work by using an asymmetric algorithm (X25519, Kyber etc) to create a shared key, and then using an appropriate symmetric cipher mode (AES-GCM, ChaCha20/Poly1305 etc) to encrypt the actual data. The symmetric part is not known to have any special weakness to quantum attack. There is a possibility of small speedups due to Grover, but if you use a 256-bit key then those are irrelevant.

So for a hybrid classical/PQ system you're not necessarily looking to combine a whole classical and post-quantum encryption system: you just want to combine the key exchanges, since those are the part where the security is more in doubt, and then you don't have to redesign the symmetric layer, which would be more disruptive to the whole protocol. Usually the combination is done more or less by running both key exchanges, then hashing both their transcripts and the derived keys together to create a final symmetric key.

There has been considerable discussion on mailing lists on exactly what is the most appropriate way to hash everything together. For example, X-Wing https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/039.pdf skips hashing the Kyber part, because Kyber internally verifies the integrity of its ciphertexts. But this proposal has taken some flak (Turbolaser fire?) for being a premature optimization, and for not generalizing as well to other hypothetical combinations.

How Much Time Do We Lose Task-Switching?
I do get the point that following news constantly all day long is a bit like doom scrolling and doesn’t add much to a good life. However, I would not go as far as saying „complete waste of time“. It is Saturday morning and I just read a long interview with Wladimir Kara-Mursa, one of the Russian opposition politicians who was recently released from prison as part of a prisoner exchange. In the interview, Kara-Mursa talks a lot about his time in Russian jails, Putin‘s system, and being a opposition politician in Russia. Does it to relate my everyday normal life here in Germany? Well of course it does not at first glance. But at second and third glance it does and most importantly it helps me appreciate what I consider my normal everyday life in a democracy and it informs my decision making when it comes to the upcoming elections and the way different parties position themselves towards Russia and the war in Ukraine.

That being said, I don’t think it makes much sense to follow any type of news all the time all day long, but I would really miss it if it was no longer available as it helps me put things / my life into context and make more informed decisions at the ballot box. And sure I am willing to pay for that type of journalism.
First I heard prof Laine talk about recording auroras in the early 00s I and many of my student friends thought he was an old eccentric (in some less polite words too).

Seeing him come through with such a solid long term effort, rigorously done and communicated with clarity is amazing, with a pinch of healthy embarrasment.

I RTFM'd courtesy of the IRS and banks I trust since personal finances is a pretty important subject and worth spending some time and effort to learn it myself, even if I ultimately toss all the paperwork at my CPA to deal with come April.

I'm more than likely going for a Roth IRA given my income (well below threshold) and a strong desire to just keep things simple. Traditional IRA with tax deductions sounds nice, but it's also overhead and effort I just don't want to deal with regardless of potential tax savings (and I need to pay the taxes eventually anyway); the old saying that time is money.

It's great and much appreciated to hear from someone who's not marketing at me that Schwab and Fidelity are more or less objectively the same. That means the deciding factor is simply which one I'm more biased to, which means Schwab (aforementioned AMEX tie-ins).

Many thanks!
Must be nice to live in a civilized society like that.
Having only glanced at the code I can’t offer much insight beyond “looks plausible”.

A far more important point is to address is that any FFI story with C++ that’s well executed is going to be great for the Rust ecosystem, and historically the community’s commitment to C++ interop has seemed tepid at best.

Even if one admits that Rust is strictly better than C++ for problems in the relevant domains, which seems an extraordinary claim that exceeds extraordinary evidence, there is still an ocean of C++ that we just can’t rewrite in even a decade, maybe not in a century.

There are use cases where Rust is just strictly a better choice: anything with an attack surface like a shell or an SSH daemon, or probably even a browser is an obvious candidate for a language with better reasoning about common attack vectors. I trust my Rust user land a lot more than my C userland.

But the “rewrite everything in Rust and push that via bad interop” is limiting the adoption of a cool language.

I’m a big fan of efforts to be more incremental.

Samsung spyware in TV's and smartphones and Lenovo rootkits in laptops (random examples) have shown that customers only need 1 simple value proposition to be ok with being spied on: slightly cheaper hardware.

The companies can offer cheaper hardware and software, because they (and their business and government clients) spy on you.

TLDR: end-users are not the only customers.

Apple is an advertising company too. They conveniently exempt themselves from the tracking restrictions they put on their competitors, like blocking access to device identifiers. You would be a fool to trust them with your privacy.
But... what does it matter how it looks?

This being Epic and made because of a free to play game, I'm more interested in an analysis of how predatory it is. It's not like Epic is better than Apple at their core.

Oh yeah I'm sure because they were pretty much the only game in town for that.

But what I mean is: they were purely professional workstations. A Mac was something that a wealthy private person could have, easily. You wouldn't buy an Indy, they were over 20k$ or something. I was really referring to private use.

> if you read the charges against galileo or bruno, specifically what they're accused of is dissent from church dogma, and many of the specific dissenting opinions were in fact scientific truth. in galileo's case, their epistemological grounding was also entirely scientific in the modern sense

True, but that was an excuse, rather than the real reason. It might be evidence of corruption, not of being anti-science.

Other people who favoured the Copernican model had no problem with the church - including Copernicus.

IN Galileo's case much of the issue was that he claimed the Copernican model was a proven truth rather than a useful mode. It is neither true (the sun is not the centre of the universe) now was it well supported by the evidence at the time.

> we're not talking about the period until 01758 (at which point heliocentrism officially stopped being heretical)

Not accurate. Evidence heliocentrism was regarded as heretical rather thn unproven. By 1758

> and, of course, today there is a sustained scientific enterprise throughout the world, and most scientists in the west are not christian; about half of all scientists are atheist or agnostic, with the numbers being much higher in the west:

That is because western culture, and academia in particular, is hostile to Christianity. It is inevitable that a capitalist society cannot live comfortably with Christianity.

They are very much drawing on a Christian culture and tradition, and historically most scientists were .

The contribution of the Catholic Church to science is enormous:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Catholic_clergy_scient...

and that is just the clergy of the Catholic church.

> other authors in whose writings the church was not interested in finding truth, and in fact in whose writings it prohibited its adherents from seeking truth, include machiavelli, pascal, descartes, francis bacon, diderot, gibbon, erasmus darwin, and kant

The index only existed for part of the history of the church, and entirely in modern times. It was an era in which books were widely censored by secular authorities for secular reasons too - just as we have widespread censorship of video today (e.g. all films publicly shown in the UK require approval by a government body).

its a remarkably short list given the huge number of books that were printed very several centuries
I'm so glad most European countries have robust labour laws which often favour the employee in case of doubt, not the employer.

This type of behaviour - unilaterally changing the employment agreement without even specifying them in their entirety! - should never be possible.

I hope other employees and EU countries follow suit and slap X with more fines, if this impacted other citizens as well.
Reminds me of the Hadopi debates in France. Wonder if that ever went anywhere.

From Wikipedia:

> In United States labor law, at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning,[1] as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability status). When an employee is acknowledged as being hired "at will", courts deny the employee any claim for loss resulting from the dismissal.
I wouldn’t say it was an inspiration, no

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_World_(SNES_video_game)
Right to Work laws, despite the name makes pretty much any firing legal. Unless an employer says something like "You are my least favorite race and for that reason I'm firing you" they're in the clear.
That kinda depends on your subjective risk aversion/tolerance.

I think the veil of ignorance is a great thought experiment everyone should think about, but there shouldn't be any prescribed way how to think about it.
Great paper! Sorry to nitpick, because your approach is right, but one important detail is wrong - you are not reading what NIH said, but simply a paper made by someone that NIH provides access to. It is important to remember that things on pubmed can be wrong, or subjective and biased.

See header "As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health.", and you can click on "Author information" to learn more about the authors.
I think you can see the culture of a company already in how they deal with you. How they answer mails, how long you have to wait for answers, how bureaucratic they are, how they negotiate the contract etc. If nothing is possible to change in the contract, then there is nothing to change inside the company either.

There are not two companies, the recruiting-company and the working-company.

The way they deal with you as a candidate, they deal with you as an employee.
I think this is probably legal in the US, since most employment is "at-will," meaning both parties can terminate it at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all (with some specific exceptions that probably wouldn't apply in this case).

Your employment contract may have terms that override the at-will relationship, in which case the employer has to follow the contract's terms. You may also be unionized, in which case the union will have negotiated termination procedures with your employer. And you may live in a State that has additional rules for terminating contracts.

But as a general rule, I believe this is legal in the US in most cases.
On the plus side, it is always soothing to see other countries stand up for their citizens. They get the best of both worlds. Their citizens enjoy good protections in many areas and they get the enjoy the fruit of the American ~suckers~ I mean workers.
Very likely referring to the "misuse" that made their brain hiccup:

Irregardless is a word sometimes used in place of regardless or irrespective which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795.

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

The usage dispute over irregardless was such that in 1923 Literary Digest published an article titled "Is There Such a Word as Irregardless in the English Language?" The OED goes on to explain the word is primarily a North American colloquialism.

It's up there with "I could care less" on the list of silly things that non native English speakers (ie. Americans) say that upset native (ie. English) English speakers.

To be fair, there's more variations of English in the UK than in the whole of North America so it's a quaint bit of Queen's English snobbery from the Oxbridge and wannabe's set.
In the US, in most (all?) jurisdictions, your employer doesn't really need to have a reason to fire you. They can fire everyone wearing red shirts, if they wanted to.

There are also very few places providing leave (outside of white-collar positions). For example, my wife was given two weeks off from her job after having my son. The state we lived in only required maternity leave to be implemented at companies having more than 50 employees. Oh, and those two weeks were unpaid.

In some places, taking a vacation longer than three weeks requires the company to stop paying your salary and consider you "abandoning" your job, or submitting special paperwork.

I do not miss the US; moving to the EU was the best decision I ever made.
This looks like a fun project, but that's about where I'd draw the line. A few issues right off the bat:

- In all such comparisons, people conveniently leave out build and research time/costs. I suspect that at least a few hundred hours went into this project, which would significantly increase the cost, if we account for hourly rates. Whenever I've run the numbers on similar custom hardware projects, I've come to the conclusion that if I'd simply worked the hours as overtime, I would be getting a much better product even if I bought high-end equipment, and quite a bit cheaper. So, these are strictly for people who enjoy the journey, and as such I find such comparisons insanely misleading.

- What exactly are the wheels doing, when you're turning the steering wheel? Is the car stationary in the garage, or is it lifted? I probably wouldn't want to spend dozens of hours turning my car's wheels in a stationary position, it puts strain on things.

- While on face value it seems like this should be about as real as you can get with sim equipment, I'd argue that it's actually fairly low- to mid-tier. Neither the steering nor the brake pedal will have any adaptive feedback, which is fairly easily obtainable with direct drive wheels and in some high-end pedals.

So all in all, quite a cool project, but not particularly useful or reasonable, IMHO.
Doesn't JAX support dynamic graphs as well?
It's a single track design with no fallback. If one of the vehicles has a malfunction with the software it's stuck there and blocks the entire tunnel. Not even staff can get past without climbing over the cars. They have to have a person in the car because if they didn't then it would be a safety disaster in the event of a fire.
Plenty. You can get oracles showing up in many weird places for one. If you want double encryption run AES-256-GCM TLS over WireGuard (Uses ChaCha20). You need to key both with hybrid post-quantum crypto though.
I'm not using? I'm using that feature almost all the time!
