My problem isn't that I am applying through aggregators with old content. I've seen one case of that in recent memory. Most jobs I apply to are listed on the company's website. And most of the jobs I've found on aggregators either take you to the company website or have an identical posting on the company website that you can find with a google search. Its often quite easy to determine if a job is still accepting applications. Thats a very basic thing.

I mean, you could say that just because a job is up on a company's website, it doesn't mean they are hiring for it, so you shouldn't expect a response and being ghosted is reasonable. And given your last paragraph that would not surprise me.

But then why are you here in this thread? This tool isn't for you. If you aren't interested in trying to make things better then you sound like a doofus walking into a thread pointing out obvious grievances we share, contradicting the idea of doing anything about it, and encouraging everyone to join in your apathy.
Unfortunately I didn’t keep all those 80 Micros I got from my uncle when he gave me his Model 4 around 1992/93, but if anyone is interested, I have years of Computer News 80, an early sort-of retrocomputing thick newsletter/small magazine that was started right after 80 Micro ceased publication, best I recall.

Edited to add: I have January 1988 - February 1991 of Computer News 80. I have not checked if all the issues are there, but it looks pretty complete.
Cruise passengers stuck on an island without other transport would be rescued because personally for them it is completely out of ordinary.

Workers who signed up to get paid to be on the island and do some work? Knowing that there is only one line of transport and it can be irregular? Going through months or years of training beforehand? Maybe "rescue" is a sensationalization when used in a news headline.
Makes for a fantastic story tho.

“Did I ever tell you about that time I was stuck in space for eight whole months? No?”
I hate it as well and I also feel async Rust needs years of much better love than it received at its conception. But... some info is still better than no info.
Outsider looking in, this article[1] published circa Jul 2022 appears to add some historical color to the status quo...it all seems related to CLPS[2] failures surrounding a few involved primes[3][4].

Yes, if you do it on top of the lexer it starts to make sense to me. I still think the language should also support the corresponding "ligatures", so that no confusion can result if you happen to enter ≤ directly, but this is actually a nice solution to the problem of what to do in your language aware editor when the user enters <= : nothing! You just assign to different token classes different fonts.
Low visibility due to fog happens regularly in places like Amsterdam and London. You can see taxiway centerline lights or a follow-me car in that, but you can't manually land in it.

Below 300m / 1000ft visibility you're down to autoland cat III while you can taxi in that with no problems.
It depends what you consider as costs. France power generation (and consumption as well) is one of the very few with reliably low carbon intensity. You can play around with https://app.electricitymaps.com/map and see how bad the emissions are in the rest of Europe.
Yes, also effect sizes of 4x and 8x are just ridiculously huge. I flat-out don't believe it. This study won't replicate.

I love the word 'megabomb' as much as the next guy, and I'm about all threat escalation, but isn't ammonium nitrate also fertiliser?

Since this is one of the main (and historic) exports from Russia, I would imagine that one or two cargo ships have carried the stuff before.

A little more info on how it is stored/transported and under which eventualities the cargo would become bomb-like would give me a sense of journalistic satisfaction as an accompaniment to my sense of impending doom.
I don't entirely follow the logic of the trip (but I know nothing about shipping). Tromso on the Norwegian Sea, then Klaipeda on the Baltic, now off the shore of Kent? That's very roundabout.

It's easy to come up with explanations involving bad will. There must be some legit ones too. What are they trying to achieve? Did they buy some ammonium nitrate and are trying to offload it for a buyer, but successive ports are saying no? Surely whoever paid and loaded the cargo needed some idea of where and how they will offload it.
I'd say, bring it as far as you can from any human being, and detonate the shit out of it, it has like 7 times more shit on it than the one in Beirut? And you want to dock it somewhere?

Since what happened in Beirut, how do we allow to have so much explosive on a single ship?
> Spurning the obvious solution of a return to Russia, where she loaded at Kandalaksha in late August, the damaged vessel embarked on an odyssey of attempted entry to European ports, beginning at the Norwegian anchorage of Tromsø

This needs more explanation, does this mean the captain refused? Or Russian port authorities refused? Or they just... chose to limp in a particular direction?

From another article [0]:

> Not long after leaving the Russian port of Kandalaksha in late August, the general cargo vessel ran aground in a storm in Norwegian waters and a Port State inspection in Norway confirmed cracks in the hull and damage to the ship’s propeller and rudder.

When airlines were first created there was no classes at all, there was also more space and comfort for everybody. Also, the ticket prices for those seats were so high that any ticket was just as unaffordable as first class would be today. The creation of economy class is the reason economy class flyers can indulge in the luxury of flight at all.

The only no-class commercial flights that operate today are the budget carriers, and they have the least comfortable offerings amongst all of the airlines.
Exactly my point of view, detonate it far away and let the insurance pay

> As for things being approved but not completed, thats a "we need more help" problem usually.

You know, I would LOVE working on Rust (not just with Rust) and be a part of some of the core team(s).

But my impression is that nobody truly has any powerful agency over things and even if you formulate a near-perfect and a PR to go with it, things would still end with several smarter people than me saying "Oh this looks really neat, we should ponder it more and test it further and merge it!" and then it never happens.

That, plus I am not sure how is the job stability situation there.

That's an odd bone to pick given that Apple (along with Google) are the primary beneficiaries of gambling and other addictive/exploitative features provided by apps on their own platforms.

Apple haven't banned exploitation (e.g. loot boxes), they're just demanding a 30% cut of it.
> The 20% rest – sidebar for documentation – are not implemented for a reason.

I mean, keeping an overview of the documentation open on the side is something I do every day in GNU Emacs, so I'm a bit curious what the reason is why it's not done in Microsoft VS Code.
Like many others I'm working on my own tool [1] that helps me make progress in my hobby projects. An example outcome of using this tool is my js13k game [2] (the idea and majority of code). The tool is being developed using the tool itself (inception ;)).

This experience of developing such tool is invaluable, I doubt I would be able to learn so much about LLMs and AI service providers if I was using some off-the-shelf software. It also allows me to adjust it to my own needs, while the "main stream" tools usually try to please "large enterprise customers", so as a regular user you end up living with annoying bugs/quirks, that will never be fixed (because no large customer asks for it).

In my opinion the future of such tools is multi modal (both input and output). For my specific use case (hobby gamedev) the goal is to eventually become "the idea guy", who occasionally jumps into the code to perform some fun programming task, and is not able to create assets(GFX/SFX) themselves.

For example: when I'm using my tool, and I want to fix a problem like misaligned buttons, instead of typing an exhaustive prompt, I rather prefer to paste a screenshot, and formulate task with just few words ("align those buttons").

Is it unfeasible to ship these kinds of things in smaller loads? Why would you put any kind of dangerous material that would "obliterate the center of any port city" in the same place without strong guarantees that nothing will go wrong? A boat does not seem like that kind of place.
The airline industry seems to work everywhere in the world regardless of the subsidy situation so I doubt it'd fail without support. A lot of subsidies seem to come from regions competing with each other eg. subsidise Boeing so the jobs don't move to Airbus/Europe, expand London airports so they don't switch to Paris etc.
But what's the job market in rural Germany for programmer?

If jobs are limited, then it feels a bit disingenuous to use this as an example. Please correct me.
Not exactly the same thing, but I remember talking with a co-worker before about strategies to use a core and a hyperthreaded sibling core on the same work load, to get speed up.

However, in practice I think it would be really difficult to prevent them just trashing each others cache / using resources.
The idea of who you think Apple are in your head and who they are in practice are two wildly different things.

Hey, if you’re already packing ‘world destroying’ amounts of explosives and taking all the precautions, then why not make it 3x the amount?
As usual, anyone without prior familiarity should take all “Boeing News” with a huge grain of salt, because outrage merchants / people trying to look smart get a kick out of spreading very BAU things as if they weren’t.

This sentiment just promotes learned helplessness. While the world is by no means fair, flying first class is achievable for any able bodied person living in a first world country.
still looks better than the cybertruck
It’s having the problems it’s having because no one allows a ship in with that much explosives on it anymore haha!
“Though this pheonomenon is often discussed, it doesn't seem to be named. Let's call it the strong version of Goodhart's law“

I wonder why the author called it that way when this seems to me clearly derived from Ross Ashby‘s law of Requisite Variet[1], predating Goodhard by 20 years. As I see it, it is not even necessary to put more meaning it Goodhard as there actually is. Requisite Variety is sufficient. Going by his resume, I strongly assume the author knows this.

Russel Ackoff, building on countless others, put into two sentences for which others needed two volumes:

“The behaviour of a system is never equal to the behaviour of its parts. - It is the product of their interactions.“

You’ve just made up an entire story in your head further proving my point here. I don’t work for Google or depend on them for any income. I’m just a person who’s frustrated listening to moronic arguments.

Why you are incapable of admitting when you’re wrong however is really something worth reflecting on.

You’ve made up not one but two stories now to justify some idea you have in your head about the situation. That’s extremely weird behaviour.
"Spacial", lol.

Also: "unsecure by default"

But good to read that finally some managers categorize Rust as insecure by default. Only Erlang/Elixir are known to them as secure by default. They don't know all the better, secure languages.

I mean, it's a great solution right now to detonate it away from humans, but I was more wondering to disallow loading that much explosive in the first place, because I think long term it's not great for sealife to detonate 20k tons of explosive every now and then :D
Same in the Netherlands. First class in trains isn't beneficial to 95% of the travellers. I suspect the hefty first class season tickets used by upper middle class managers and civil servants count towards keeping it even in newly ordered trains.
This content discusses an issue with running out of inodes on a directory in the ACFS (Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System) file system after a large table export. Generally, even with sufficient disk space, a high number of small files can exhaust available inodes, prompting alerts. In this case, we have seen that ACFS doesn’t have a pre-allocated inode table; rather, it estimates inodes based on available space, leading to confusion during inode checks.
You’re a broken clock that happens to be right. This isn’t “superfans protecting them”-Apple, it’s “lawyers protecting them”-Apple. Don’t conflate whatever leftover feelings you have about 2000s OS flame wars with whatever inane shit Apple is up to in 2024.
>How did we let discord take over is a mystery to me, or rather a tragedy.

Orders of magnitude better product than anything competition had at the time?
ammonium nitrate is safe till you accidentally mix it with something like fuel oil.

It would be trivial for an inspector to go look and see if such mixing has occurred... and if it has not, let it into port to sell the cargo.
Interesting that on Linux Unix Domain Sockets are not faster than TCP.

People often say that the TCP stack overhead is high but this benchmark does not confirm that.
Happiness is a valid goal. If one perceives it’s not reasonable to expect it, then you may arrive at this conclusion. But imo that’s because we short-circuit happiness to sources of pleasure that we see aren’t that reliable.

Hell, even this settling for happiness as a side-product is a result of the judgement that this is the best we can do regarding the goal of happiness.
The world knows Wim Hof as "The Iceman", his family suffered domestic violence
Is this your general view on all ships carrying fertiliser? Do you know how many people would starve to death if we stopped shipping fertiliser around the world?
I think domestication implies multigenerational changes in genetics and morphology to make the domesticated species more useful for the domesticating species.

It doesn't seem that there's any evidence of that yet. Maybe if they keep at it for a while, and either the fish they hunt with branch off into a separate population or they do it so much that it affects the entire population?
This hasn’t been my experience at all in the slightest.

Been programming since I was in elementary school, and current Copilot, OpenAI and even Gemini models generate code at a very very junior level. It might solve a practical problem, but it can’t write a decent abstraction to save its life unless you repeatedly prompt it to. It also massively struggles to retain coherence when it has more moving parts; if you have different things being mutated, it often just forgets it and will write code that crashes/panics/generates UB/etc.

When you are lucky and you get something that vaguely works, the test cases it writes are of negative value. Test cases are either useless cases that don’t cover edge cases, are incorrect entirely and fail, or worse yet — look correct and pass, but are semantically wrong. LLM models have been absolutely hilariously bad at this, where it will generate passing cases for the code as written, but not for the semantics of the code being written. Writing it by hand would catch it quickly, but a junior dev using these tools can easily miss this.

Then there is Rust; most models don’t do rust well. In isolation they are kind of okay, but overall it frequently generates borrowing issues that fail to compile.
Would you mind amending your comment to refer to the part of OP’s comment that you were actually referring to? Because I can’t for the life of me work out how what you’ve said remotely refutes anything they said.

Would you want to be a captain of an EU registered ship stuck in Russia for an indeterminate amount of time with limited ability to pay for (sanctions) repairs of an uncertain nature?

Of course I have no real info on why but it does seem plausible that returning would be unattractive.

Or worse, or there might be fewer flights since in general, first class subsidises the economy class on a price per inch of plane space basis.
Its a maltese ship headed to Malta. https://archive.ph/jFtD7#selection-1429.111-1429.116

> It is then expected to continue through the Channel with its destination listed as Marsaxlokk in Malta. The authorities in Malta said that they would only accept the vessel if it got rid of its cargo beforehand.
No. First class helps subsidize the rest of the flight. Without it, the other seats would be either even smaller or more expensive.
I hope they evacuate the crew and bomb it in the middle of the ocean so we can film the explosion in 4K. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

Notably, ammonium nitrate is fertilizer.

It is also effectively 'natural gas in solid form' - the main input to making ammonium nitrate is natural gas.The main cost is the cost of the natural gas, and there are huge worldwide markets for both natural gas and fertilizer. Therefore, from an economics perspective, natural gas and fertilizer are pretty much tied together.

Same as electricity and aluminium.

Natural gas is hard to ship - whereas fertilizer is easy to ship.

Since Russia has bountiful supplies of natural gas, and sanctions prevent it selling that gas to europe via pipeline, producing fertilizer and selling that to the rest of the world is a workaround.
> Ammonium nitrate is highly explosive, especially when exposed to fire

Is that true? It seems, from a pedestrian perspective, if just fire could trigger it, they wouldn’t be transporting it in such amounts.
Unfortunately once one company does something and gets away with it, or makes even more money, everyone will follow.

I was looking at Thinkpads and was somewhat shocked to see they started doing that too!
No, Russia is deliberately using this ship to harass NATO countries. The ship was recently unusually close to a NATO base in Norway before the Norwegian coast guard chased them away.

Here in Denmark the Danish coast guard also had to confront the ship.

The ship has enough Ammonium Nitrate to cause an explosion several times the size of the 2020 Beirut port explosion.

Basically any other country with a faulty ship full of dangerous explosive material would tow the ship back and fix their own mess.

Russia is instead using it as hybrid warfare against geopolitical adversaries.
That ship is only 183m long. If it was in an emergency, there were plenty of ports near Tromsø that can handle that. Even Murmansk isn't far away.

Marine Traffic says it's under way to Malta.
Regulations say pilots have responsibility and authority over who they accept on the plane, one commercial airliner pilot did tell me he does refuse entry to clearly inebriated passengers. For this of course the pilot has to not be too busy, has to take the time to stand at the door for the whole boarding, and has to have a company that will not veto such (legal) decisions to refuse boarding, with associated luggage removal delay etc, to happen... How much has this changed in the past ten years?
I would claim in a completely informal way that the optimal degree of utilization is ln(2)=0.693, around 70%.

This stems from the optimal load of self-balancing trees.

A little bit of slack is always useful to deal with the unforeseen.

And even a lot of slack is useful (though not always as it is costly) as it enables to do things that a dedicated resource cannot do.

On the other hand, no slack at all (so running at above 70%) makes a system inflexible and unresilient.

I would argue for this in any circumstance, be it military, be it public transit, be it funding, be it allocation of resources for a particular task.
> ... but isn't ammonium nitrate also fertiliser?

That too, see the Beirut port explosion incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion

Going by the article, the ship carries an order of magnitude more ammonium nitrate then the amount that detonated in Beirut
Could you elaborate? What do you mean by this link?
