Anything, really. There are no "classical devices", after all, all of them are quantum systems, aren't they?
I try to sit on the fence when it comes to Rust and the Linux kernel. On one end, is Rust the right choice to be included... over others such as Zig or (perhaps) Odin? Are we 10 years too soon to include a "safe language" ????

Then again, we have Linus Torvolds who, in the last 20 years, has been hell-bent against including C++ in the kernel despite backlash.. yet.. he has accepted Rust a year or so ago. He obviously sees Rust in a completely different manner compared to C++ -- even though you could write crap code in Rust as well.

I get it -- the amount of harcore C programmers are likely shrinking. This means, over time, the linux kernel will eventually have less maintainers. It seems, to me, that Linus accepts reality that he is getting older (54) and wont be the maintainer forever. The younger generation are going to be the back-bone of keeping the project alive and if they are NOT focusing their efforts on C.. then what are they focusing on?

Rust, as good as it is, does have hype riding behind it. We also have other "Nu" languages which are eventually getting their stable releases in the coming months/years. Again, is Rust the right choice?

I understand the backlash especially veterans who have put in their efforts on the kernel and have no wish to learn Rust. I am sure there are plenty of Rust people throwing their world views opinions yet barely wrote anything decent in C, if at all.

Seems like everyone has an opinion even if their views on the opposite end is lacking.

As I say I try to sit on the fence. I have not focused my efforts on Rust but I don't actively object to it. I am just skeptical it has been added too soon to the project... but that is my opinion.
At first I was confused by the title (my fault) and thought that the article had to do with geo-localization. And only after several paragraphs I could switch to language localization :D
It looks like the removal was well within their authority

this is what i'd like to know more about. should they have this authority? especially to remove any posts in a non-transparent way? such a level of authority should be limited to removing obviously illegal or age-restricted content, but not the kind of message in question. and even then, it should require oversight from someone outside the committee, ideally people specifically trained for handling such messages.
Hope that doesn't come back to bite him, I'm sure if he mentioned it in one of his streams any one of us in the community would've happily updated the page.
> Another is that it is best not to kill people who make you angry until you have carefully investigated the situation

Indeed
- The LGPL license for Skip's libraries is the same license used in projects like WebKit. It does not interfere with using Skip in commercial, closed-source apps.

- Skip is based on Swift Package Manager and fully both dual-platform and iOS and Android-specific dependencies.

- Skip has a suite of dual-platform libraries, and for anything that isn't covered, multiple techniques for integrating platform-specific code and libraries. These include being able to use Kotlin right inline with your Swift and mix Compose code in with your SwiftUI.

Exactly

This has the advantage of requiring fewer motors (only two motors for the entire panel) instead of two motors per mirror.

The disadvantage is that the light is only focused for a few hours a day.
You are correct, he's also been a guest on "Well There's Your Problem" (an engineering disasters podcast/channel) and TRASHFUTURE (UK tech/politics podcast) a few times.
Notion to terminate accounts with Russian billing history regardless of location
From the announcement: "...Due to these restrictions, on September 9, 2024, Notion will no longer provide users located in Russia access to the platform. This includes:... If any billing information connected with the workspace is currently or was previously associated with Russia, the workspace will be terminated. This is necessary for compliance with sanctions, and updating an account’s billing information will not change the restriction."

I think as a society we've come quite far, but if a kid wants to wash some dishes at school under adult supervision for a limited amount of time, I don't see a lot wrong with it. Obviously, it would be better if we could just not make families pay for school lunches, but that's another topic that isn't terribly relevant to this discussion.

Do you think you learned any valuable lessons that carried into adulthood? I started working in 9th grade as a busboy/washer and look fondly back on those memories; not only as a way of getting out of the house (bad family situation) but also as a look into the lives of the adults that worked there. As an adult now, I feel sorry for the middle age people who worked there because they obviously didn't really want to be there, but they needed a job and frying eggs as the local greasy spoon was apparently what was available. But I'm happy now and I get a small amount of comfort knowing that I can go back to that line of work if I ever found myself in a bind and needed to make an extra $2k. I'm sure my adult body won't handle it as well, but mentally, I think I'd be prepared.
I would vote for completely banning paywall posts. It annoys me no end when a post links to the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times or suchlike.
Pass. Saying yes to something you are not interested in so that you can later say “See? VC-funded projects are crap!” does not seem smart to me.
Been a while since I've been working in the field, but wouldn't we expect this finding through the model of dissipation and decoherence? Seems like Caldeira & Leggett all over again.
Skip generates native code, so you can open it in Android Studio and use all the native debugging tools
I observe a weird patter in your replies - you twist the intention of OPs in the way that they didn't intend.

In this particular case, meta's models are not "open source" although Zucks calls them as such. And because of that, people also started to believe they are open source.
a nice one!

There were plans to expand Euston, then the Tories cancelled those plans and sold off the land that was acquired to accommodate said plans to make sure it wouldn't ever happen in the future (by this point they were already collapsing in popularity and clearly going to lose the election).
too much truth in one comment.
I suspect they’re getting more and more frequent so the last 26 years alone don’t accurately model the future risk.
Forking (as opposed to branching which at least has community acknowledgement) should be taken as a last resort.

Without the support from upstream, just _syncing_ your fork with upstream can be a massive pain, as your changes conflicts with the new upstream changes. It's even more debilitating when you realize your efforts may not even be rewarded -- the upstream can simply decide to refuse to merge your fork.
Privacy whilst on the job is not afforded to all employees; it is not something on offer for every job.
Here's the news headline from the time for you:

https://news.sky.com/story/network-rail-failing-to-stop-unac...
Otoh regular public sector employees (from what I hear) don't even get free coffee at the office.
- STF started a secret investigation about fake news, which is illegal because it’s not written on our constitution and make it the police and the punisher.

- people under investigation or jailed can’t access this secret investigation, even their lawyers can’t, so they don't know why they're being arrested for.

- STF is starting other investigations without being provoke, which is illegal under our constitution.

- they send one person to prison because he was running from justice on USA, but this person lawyer prove that he never leave the country. Even the USA authorities say he didn’t entered the country.

- they censored a magazine that published a report of corruption inside de court.

- they censored some journal about people calling to end the secret investigation.

- they are trying people who should be tried in the first instance (the US equivalent of local courts), not in the supreme court.

- all orders sent to X (twitter) are secret, including the reason why this person or tweet must be down. which is, of course, illegal under our "marco legal da internet", a law approved years ago that was suppose to regulate internet.

The list can go on.
I am surprised to find out that Einstein was so convinced in the non-existence of free will.

> I claim credit for nothing. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.

Meanwhile, I believe, that you can also be a determinist and believe in free will.
Browsing Hacker News means sometimes you'll encounter an article you aren't interested in, and paywalled articles seem to fall within that category. Nine times out of ten if you wait someone will post an archive link if it exists, that should be sufficient.
Euston is a special case. The lack of training/concern (depending on your level of cynicism) of ticket validity of the barrier staff isn’t unique (Paddington had this problem too), but the unique problem is the way the operator (network rail) do not announce platforms until the last minute leading to stampedes to the barriers.

The announcements are just there to sell more noise cancelling headphones in the on-station shops.
Given this is in Australia, I’d have thought that a threat to enforce your rights under the Australian Consumer Law[1] would get some action from the manufacturer.

Essentially, there’s a statutory warranty that exists regardless of any warranty term quoted by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer is on the hook if the product is not fit for purpose or sufficiently “durable”.

Could you recommend a good source for that? Preferably also for Europe?
I think GNUMail and some GNUStep software supported notifications as dockapps. Such as the number of new mail messagges.
Peak HN to clearly not even spend 1 minute to understand the content to then come in the comments ranting about how bad it is and that it's wrong.
Sure, some of the ordering of difficulties may be off but a lot of it is subjective depending on what you already know I'd say. I think they're a good way of getting some motivation of projects to undertake
Behold, the last man.
Just find an archive link in the comments to bypass the paywall, or post one yourself by visiting e.g. https://archive.is/ and pasting the link in the bottom box "I want to search the archive for saved snapshots".
Nothing. In this instance fixing the localisation might have prevented the deaths, but in any specific event there is an array of details that could have produced a different outcome had they been changed, but which aren't causal. Improving localisation is a good thing, but it isn't going to reduce the murder rate.
Wouldn't RS422 need 2 TX and 2 RX?
To me that is in large part explained by the fact that most MOOCs are introductory, unlike most graduate courses.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
Mostly I think the person who mentioned that this is free markets working as free markets is largely right. You can't defend free markets on the basis that property rights are enforced by the state, and thus somehow changing the free market outcome.

I also think critizising intellectual property on grounds of granting a monopoly is muddling the language. If I write a novel I have exclusive rights to the novel. But I am not the only supplier of mediocre novels. I don't have a monopoly in a relevant market.

None of this contradicts the point that IP and patent rights are in desperate need of reform, or that they can play a central role in abusing a monopoly position (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange-Book-Standard).

Edit: Maybe my post was unclear: I would agree that IP should be abolished. But this is not a position I have seen classical market liberals and other free market advocates take. Instead, they tend to favor strengthening all forms of property rights. If I am wrong on this point, I'd be happy to read some examples.
Just to add to the topic:

If you want to bypass a paywall, the best tool is https://www.removepaywall.com/. It consolidates a few different approaches to breaking paywalls, such as using the Internet Archive or Google Cache and a few others. you can just open straight in https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=<URL>

However, I am not suggesting that you bypass paywalls, as paid content is somewhat essential to how news outlets make money, I am just sharing the first google result.
There was no media used as the material for the cassete recorder.
This is so cool, thanks for sharing! If I had a yard/space to build one of these, I would totally try rigging one up to drive a little heat engine.
Nice and simple site. Well done for making this work on mobile!
I don't see why this is a reason to be skeptical. Firefox is a huge codebase. Substantial chunks of it have been rewritten using Rust while maintaining the entire app and adding features. This is entirely the plan: You can slowly, as you touch parts, migrate the codebase.

Firefox (and many other projects) was already a mix of multiple languages - it uses C, C++, Javascript, ... and now Rust. And while there is value in having less languages to deal with, there is equally value to use multiple languages and apply them where you see major benefit. For example, replacing exposed and high-risk components (image/file parsers for example) with a language that de-risks those implementations. Like all of the things in software engineering, this is a tradeoff. It may not make sense for your application, but it can make sense for others.
Thanks, I see and agree.
We have this result already. Interaction with thermal noise ruins wave coherence, and causes classical physics to emerge. This comes when you in a sense replace waves with their average values.

It's not so much a question of scale, but of statistical noisiness. Quantum effects are primarily observable in the low-temperature domain (this is not necessarily "thermometer temperature", but a statistical measure)
Quantum systems evolve unitarily, measurement devices collapse the wave function which is not unitary. And there is no accepted consensus how those two things fit together, just several ideas like Everett's many worlds which solves the problem by declaring that the wave function never actually collapses but instead splits the cosmos into many worlds.
In this case it's a little more than just an employer/employee relationship. It's the head of a non-departmental government body (at the time Hendy lead Network Rail, he's now Minister for Transport) threatening to not award contracts to a railway services provider unless they terminate an employee who voiced safety concerns publicly. Notably these concerns were shared by the Office of Rail and Road (i.e. ... the government).
If mental faculties are emergent properties, what is illogical about propounding that a larger system than us or than Earth itself might have conceived of designs such as we have for our systems?
i like this. i think it even works for electing multiple candidates. we need 5 people in a committee. everyone list their preferred 5 or 10 or more choices. add up all the votes and the 5 top get chosen.
I mean to say I feel extremely sad for my countrymen who cared far too much about this cursed land and who ended up betrayed in literally every way. Betrayed by the military they put their faith in. Betrayed by the politician they believed in. Wouldn't be surprised if they still liked the guy despite it all.

Whether it was a mistake or not, I dunno. I just don't fault him for trying whatever clumsy thing it is that he tried. I don't fault him because I don't believe this country is a democracy. I think it's a judiciary dictatorship. Watching those unelected judges say the word "democracy" actually makes me cringe.
> And the syntactic sugar where `foo({ a -> a })` and `foo { a -> b }` are the same makes code so much more readable.

That's 1-to-1 copied from Groovy by the way :)
Still run two Macs on it just for scanners, it is a great version.
Banner blindness. If 95% of safety signage is banal and useless to most people, then most people will simply stop paying attention to signage.

My understanding is that the crush risk at Euston is entirely an operational issue of Network Rail's making (NR being the station facility owner), by deliberately not announcing platforms until the last moment, causing passengers to run to the platform en masse. If platforms were announced earlier, the crush risk would be seriously mitigated.

The obvious next question is whether platforms _can_ be announced earlier - to which the answer is, as I understand it, yes. The platforms are known about much further in advance and the reason for the delay appears to be a combination of intransigence by Euston management and a lack of sufficient ticket gateline staff by the train operators.
I like it too but it doesn’t have auto-docs based on docstrings, which Material for MkDocs has:

At least video over USB-C is DisplayPort, so there's hope.
Docusaurus shines in docs-as-code scenarios. I used it for Amplication, Februar, and other technical docs projects.

The SEO features, integrated Algolia search, and built-in components save a lot of time and help you focus on writing markdown.

The plugin system and React-based customization is powerful, but for most projects you should be fine with the provided components and editing the custom css file.

For a look at how a dev tool company uses Docusaurus to implement its docs, check out this article on Amplication's approach:

https://medium.com/abundant-dev/amplication-documentation-ca...

This might help those wanting to use Docusaurus with a docs-as-code workflow, especially when using GitHub or other git platforms for reviews.
Bioceres' GMO Wheat Is Safe for Production, US Says
I'm not mad at the users, nor am I at GP, I just happen to know both sides of the story and it's too frustrating to watch this problem recurring and watching multiple social media getting roadkilled. It undoubtedly contributed to Twitter turmoil, it was direct cause for Mastodon Fediverse collapse, Bluesky architectural changes enough to disappoint the Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey, so on.

It's always "it". Endless massive shipments of novel artificial porn, leaking out of the nation-scale languistic and cultural isolate bubble of Japanese, which maintains internal meme-fusion self-sustainance condition and positive meme-pressure neither requiring nor exploiting meaningful amount of external contacts.

So all those efforts for Japanese compliance under self deceptions at both sides that Japanese exist on the same social graph just ends in vain. These people are both there and effectively not there. The internet has no physical dimensions and these people will happily move to wherever there is free-ridable Twitterlike infrastructure, but trying to first integrate them into something they don't intend to blend in and then trying to apply the same ethical standards used by now-minority part won't make sense(just like how IRL across-culture immigration fail unless naturalization was the voluntary goal from the beginning).

Therefore I genuinely think segregating the Internet is for the best interest of all - knowing full well that this term is historically related to situations where one of two groups enslave the others, based on my understanding that it was, unbeknownst to some, how it always had been. What's the problem formalizing that, especially if this many people are this frustrated other this particular problem.

PS:

- by the way, someone else in the comments said situations similar to horrible status quo GP/GGP described do not apply to Threads, which reuses Facebook infra. Just, you know, guess which country has single abnormally low Facebook adoption. Or list social media that are nice and correlate that with user countries of origin. Not by regions, but by flags.

- wrt China: I think China and GFW is interesting one - with Google lockout, TikTok ownership controversies, collapsing white collar job market, etc. So far their closed Internet don't seem to have achieved fusion status but rather duplicating imports - I don't think censorship is sole or primary cause for that behavior; they have no issues sneaking in Inmu meme on anything from military propaganda to nickname for export HSR.
I can speak exactly to that.

At the time, a friend asked why I didn’t want the vaccine. I’d done my research, and I knew my benefit was marginal and that my risk from COVID itself was close to nil.

But best I could articulate at the time was that it was too tied up with letting us visit public places (remember passports?). It seemed manipulative, too much about theatre and very little about public or individual health.

Didn’t want to ruin a friendship by being too honest, although I wish I had been now.

Hmm, C&L argument involves taking a classical limit, does it not? This paper seems “fully quantum” (provided that you agree that the maximally mixed “Gibbs” state should not be considered a “classical” limit, only an infinite temp limit)
Great write up and description of the experience, even if it's closed. I enjoyed the details for each day, the actors, theatrics, detailed missions, etc. But still, the experience itself is way too expensive
It's still direct connection, so there's nothing to compare there.
Being able to share any parts of your business logic and UI that you want between iOS and Android versions is a huge win for companies of any size. Traditionally this has been a PITA, has added significant performance overhead and bloat (JS runtime, added garbage collector, etc depending on the framework), and on the UI side, has often given you non-native UIs. Skip solves all of these problems, and because it uses your code as-is on iOS and generates native code on Android, you can trivially and directly mix in platform-specific code wherever you need to, without any bridging.
