You would expect market cap of the largest players to decline if the market becomes more competitive... which was China's primary goal with their recent crackdown.

They proactively forced interconnectivity and limited the ability for companies to make "walled-garden peudo-monopolies", as we have in the US with Apple and Google.

If the same happens here (through act of congress, or legal outcomes), you can expect their market caps to decline as well. A decline in market cap doesn't speak at all to whether it's beneficial to the industry or consumers
The only problem is where should this end?

I'm all for improving trade, improving general cooperation, recycling rules/laws. The EU here did get a little too big with the curvature of a banana being mentioned.

However, I think a _LOT_ of people start to take issue when you say, "OK we're standardizing the way you vote now", "We're standardizing the way rights are structured in your country", "We now place the EU as a supreme directive with a foreign court on certain issues".

I can see the appeal, but this has a concerning dark side when it's brought in not through voting, but through treaty and trade in the real-world.
Notice how I'm avoiding saying crony-capitalizm or a alike.

I wish the EC was more successful in lasting by itself or the EU more flexible and less like a bag of hammers on certain issues which required a soft-touch.

I'm not a fan of red tape, but less of a fan of 'Brussels' (I'm not being lyteral) dictating law over a multi-layered legal system with various existing rights and paths to appeal. Hence why I personally voted for Brexit.

Yes I'm now working with those new laws and red-tape day to day (boy you think industy had it bad look into academia at times), but most of the issues I see come from foreign entities being in denial of Brexit happening and now drafting in draconian laws that look like they're punishing britain, even if it's just a case of the EU never thought to harmonize EU<->UK relations into 1 concrete set of agreements after the fact.

(Yes, Boris and alike did NOT help by sitting across the table acting like spolit childrean at a birthday party. No to mention the whole NI thing dominating discussions because the US has some dealings here historically (I'm being polite!) and for some reason dragged them in whenever there was a 'threat to the peace accords'...)

In summary, I like the idea, I just wish people didn't power-grab under the guise of standardization. (Huh, isn't that Intel with USB3, x86, ... or Apple with lightning, wifi, ...)
If negative option marketing is allowable at all, I'm very skeptical these seemingly minor amendments will make any difference whatsoever. What'll be interesting is to see what new equilibrium companies reach between what they want to do, what level of enforcement there will be.

I mean, making rules that will end up getting over turned in courts, setting a precedent is also exactly how you end up making institutions toothless (see, the recent supreme court decision that overturned Chevron). I'm totally for this type of regulation though, it's just that I don't think that their argument is bad at all.
> All the most-impactful projects in the data engineering world are now written in Rust.

Is this true? I love Rust and use it daily, yet I often hear from data engineering peers that Rust has too much friction for most data engineering projects, because of the borrow checker, lifetimes, compile times, inability to express functions and traits in some ways, async futures, and ABI/FFI issues with external data processing code.

Happy to be corrected about all the above, though.
Shipping got containerized without a significant amount[1] of tax breaks or handouts for that purpose. Rail standards were developed without significant preferential treatment as were the early electrical standards. Without subsidies of specific tech we'd likely see more balkanization and partial standardization of the grid. Perhaps the grid would have remained less reliable longer. In all likelihood things would "mostly" be the same on a medium-long timeline.

Remember, prior to the 1960s and 1970s expansions of the federal bureaucracy the government didn't really get as proactively involved in this sort of thing as they are now. Though there were several cases in which they lit a pile of money on fire and kept feeding it until they got the results they wanted (I can't think of an example of this that wasn't directed at defense tech though).

I think it would likely be a lateral move, or close enough to lateral that we can't really say with a high degree of certainty whether it would have turned out better or worse. I think it's very possible that without tax breaks we'd have gotten more solar earlier but with a slower adoption curve after that if none of this stuff was subsidized.

[1] I know of none but I don't want some nit picker to find some case where someone got a $2k research grant in 1961 and act like that invalidates the point here.

Consider a cargo airship operated remotely. The propulsion would be based on solar powered fans. Even if it took weeks to cross the ocean it would need essentially no cost to operate (or incredibly little) compared to operating a ship. If one blows up (hydrogen is volatile) you'd dump all the cargo on the ocean but you wouldn't be dumping tons of diesel fuel and the frame of the the ship is smaller than a ship. If you can do it without a crew you've essentially made shipping almost free except for loading and unloading at ports. AND you can put ports in areas that don't have access to inlets to the oceans or good shorelines. The most difficult part is the volatility of the lifting gas. You might have to load and unload cargo on platforms away from the coastline to prevent explosions. As for the hydrogen itself, the balloon can create it's own lifting gas by separating hydrogen from the atmosphere with an onboard chemical electric apparatus (presumably) if it ends up leaking hydrogen on its voyage. Lifting gas volatility has always been the biggest problem.

> The only thing the SCOTUS can do is rule against the agency for exceeding its congressional authority.

That is what Roberts' conclusion wants it to sound like but he claims a lot more power for the courts than the statement implies.

> In an agency case as in any other, though, even if some judges might (or might not) consider the statute ambiguous, there is a best reading all the same—“the reading the court would have reached” if no agency were involved. Chevron, 467 U. S., at 843, n. 11. It therefore makes no sense to speak of a “permissible” interpretation that is not the one the court, after applying all relevant interpretive tools, concludes is best. In the business of statutory interpretation, if it is not the best, it is not permissible.

In other words, the judiciary has final say on the "best reading" of a statute and all other readings definitionally exceed the authority granted by the statute.

> They aren't substituting their own expertise.

examples of Chevron questions that are now up to the judiciary to identify the "single, best meaning", independently of agency interpretation:

> the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates “biological product[s],” including “protein[s].” When does an alpha amino acid polymer qualify as such a “protein”?

> What makes one population segment “distinct” from another? Must the Service treat the Washington State population of western gray squirrels as “distinct” because it is geographically separated from other western gray squirrels?

I find it exceptionally hard to imagine an answer to either of those questions that don't require a judge to exercise their own chemistry or biology expertise, however limited that may be.

This seems very "project focused" rather than developer focused, many people contribute to open source projects but don't necessarily represent their project or don't wish to take away funding from those projects, but could still desperately use funding for their work.

I have a personal donation page but I'm struggling to get and retain funding, especially monthly donations, which would make it easier to spend time on the projects I contribute to (either my time highlighting the work of others on social media, or writing code).

Pin is a pure compile time abstraction for a single problem: memory safety of self referential struct.

Pin leverages the type system to expose to the programmer receiving a pointer to a Pin'ned object, that this object has some pointer on itself (a self referencial struct). You better be mindful not to move this object to a different memory location unless you know for sure that it is safe to do so. The Pin abstraction makes it harder to forget; and easier to notice during code review; by forcing you to use the keyword unsafe for any operations on the pinned object that could move it around.

In C, there is no such way to warn the programmer besides documentation. It is up to the programmer to be very careful.
other countries have figured that out even countries with multiple levels of taxation like in the U.S. it's not an unsolvable problem.
I don't know how anyone manages to use archivebox. I've tried it twice in the last 3 years and its site compatibility is bad, it quietly leaks everything you archive to archive.org by default, and whenever it fails on a download it stops archiving anything even after deleting and resubmitting all the jobs.

I'm sure it works for some people, but not me.
eh, yes, and no.

like, i see the authors point about backend data systems things like databases, query engines and storage. for the *low level* systems side of data engineering, yeah i see what you’re saying.

for the higher level *take super hacky code from data scientists and turn it into a production grade pipeline* i just don’t see it right now.

the thing is, right now at least, i would take the data science python code, clean it up then make it run via pyspark (or just multiprocessing). it’s still the fast happy path in my experience.

this means i don’t have to rewrite the whole thing in rust from scratch, and the data science team can continue to contribute to it with a bit of hand holding (i have zero confidence in an average data scientist learning rust).

also, i can run it on a single machine, or over a cluster when we start getting more data throughput. and i can set up autoscaling so i don’t have to pay attention when that’s happened.

(caveat: unless there’s some super simple python->rust processing library that basically mimics pyspark that i probably don’t know about?)

so, like, yeah, i see the point from the low level side of things. but at the higher level… i don’t think it’s there… yet.

better title might have been “why rust is taking the low level data systems world by storm”

addendum: i am actually learning rust at the moment (not for data stuff) and it has struck me as a decent language for data engineering pipeline work because of the emphasis on well defined structures (strong typing). is basically defining a concrete data model. i will check out the authors autumn of rust thingy blog post series at some point. might be helpful.

It's such a game changer... I always had the thought before in the back of my mind, "Why do I need to create two versions of every data model that basically specify the same information (field name and type)?" And it turns out, you don't have to do that, you can use the same model for both the ORM and the response validation schema.
You are correct, convenience for trying many new models is important. For me, this means being able to run with Ollama.
One that stung me the other day, Amazon, a $152 charge showing up on my card.

Realized that it was an annual renewal of Prime. No email notification or anything. Dig around, there is an option to get a reminder email, but it defaults to off.

This is a growing trend too, reduced or no notification of renewal, even on annual subscriptions, so you get hit with a three digit charge out of nowhere (not that it's not our responsibility to track these things, but many of us do so less than we'd like).
I don't think rms should have returned to the FSF board and I do believe his continued presence there does more harm than good, not because of hit pieces against him damaging his reputation, but because of his own behavior. I'm also aware that some of the vocal voices defending Stallman are nothing but channeled bigotry of their owners (oftentimes much worse than anything Stallman has ever been alleged of) and all I can say about those is how disgusted I am by them.

That said, I read this page in its entirety and I can't help but notice how manipulative this report is. I can't tell whether this was intentional malice, a sign of subconscious bias or maybe just careless use of words, but constructs like "we can conclude that [statement that doesn't follow from what was said before]", placing whole paragraphs that are hard to disagree with but aren't related to quoted positions and are clearly meant to inflict negative emotional response to induce implicit misrepresentation (such as the one that starts with "The actors involved in pornographic films...") and stating things like "absolves the perpetrator of wrongdoing" or "consistently defends [something]" despite of that not being present in the quoted source material nor able to be inferred from it without making possibly wrong assumptions on intentions behind the words written make me doubt whether this was authored in good faith, even when the report makes some points about Stallman that I ultimately agree with.

https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/grab-site might be helpful. I'm a fan of the ability to create WARC archives from a target, uploard the WARC files to object storage (whether that is IA, S3, Backblaze B2, etc), and then keep them in cold storage or serve them up via HTTPS or a torrent (mutable, preferred). The Internet Archive serves a torrent file for every item they host; one can do the same with WARC archives to enable a distributed archive. CDX indexes can be used for rapidly querying the underlying WARC archives.

You might support cryptographically signing WARC archives; Wayback is particular about archive provenance and integrity, for example.

What scale are you using for “hurricane level”? In the US, I’m familiar with the Saffir-Simpson scale, where a “major” hurricane is defined as Category 3 and above (the scale goes up to 5). Hurricane Sandy was a mere Category 1 on that scale by the time it hit the US.

To be fair, I don’t think fixed metal awnings are fashionable in Florida for similar reasons.

Ubuntu has replaced the deb version of Firefox with Snaps a few times on my computer.

On at least 3 occasions, I became aware of this when I would open Firefox and nothing would happen, except a message that "Firefox is already running". The only resolution was to install the deb Firefox package.

A couple months ago, I needed to do a fresh install since my system got borked during the upgrade to 24.04 LTS. As usual, the Firefox snap package was installed, so I decided to give it a try.

To its credit, it actually works this time. However, it will not save images on right click or open Zoom meeting links in the desktop client. I am fairly certain this problem would disappear if I switched back to the deb package, but it's not a big enough hassle for me to bother. I can live with some workarounds for now.

Overall, I don't mind snaps, but the Firefox snap has been far more trouble than it's worth.
Sure, everything is political. But that's meaningless, and it just gets tiring to see the same debates over and over because someone said the thing "remember this when you vote". Like yeah, that's usually how voting works; you vote based on policies like this.

It would be similar to going into an israel-palestine war thread and saying that "remember, if you vote Biden you're voting for a president that is enabling a genocide" or saying that "those bombs were given by Biden's administration " whenever a hospital gets hit in that war. Is it true? Sure. Is it stirring the pot? Absolutely. Do people who vote for Biden already know that and don't really care? Almost certainly.

The exact same applies to comments like this. Like yes, republicans vote for Republican candidates knowing this. It's not like they weren't aware that the party they support leans heavily towards favoring business interests.

> Attempting to take the car or cdr of nil causes (or should cause) the Lisp genie to cough out an error message, just as attempting to divide by zero should evoke an error message.

Interestingly, this is no longer the case. Modern Lisps now evaluate (car nil) and (cdr nil) to nil. In the original Lisp defined by John McCarthy, indeed CAR and CDR were undefined for NIL. Quoting from <https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/367177.367199>:

> Here NIL is an atomic symbol used to terminate lists.

> car [x] is defined if and only if x is not atomic.

> cdr [x] is also defined when x is not atomic.

However, both Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp define (car nil) and (cdr nil) to be nil. Quoting from <https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_car...>:

> If x is a cons, car returns the car of that cons. If x is nil, car returns nil.

> If x is a cons, cdr returns the cdr of that cons. If x is nil, cdr returns nil.

Also, quoting from <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Li...>:

> Function: car cons-cell ... As a special case, if cons-cell is nil, this function returns nil. Therefore, any list is a valid argument. An error is signaled if the argument is not a cons cell or nil.

> Function: cdr cons-cell ... As a special case, if cons-cell is nil, this function returns nil; therefore, any list is a valid argument. An error is signaled if the argument is not a cons cell or nil.
