Rustup downloads toolchains from third-party (to the distro) repositories; distros do not want to be in a position where they can no longer build packages because of an external service going down.

So, if you are developing something you want to see packaged in distros, it needs to be buildable with the tool versions in the distro's repositories.

(Not just rustup- Debian requires repackaging Cargo dependencies so that the build can be conducted offline entirely from source packages.)

There are pathways from the outside to the brain - most notably the nose and the eyes. The former have a known pathogen pathway (naegleria fowleri, a virtually 100% fatal parasite), the latter are actually an immunoprivileged site [1] and investigations are ongoing what the role of eyes is in the transmission of H5N1 bird flu.

Assuming this page was launched today, I'd give you the benefit of the doubt. But this page has said that for as long as I've been a Kagi member (at least a year now I think), so that estimate seems pretty far of :)

Was more looking for someone with inside knowledge who might be able to give some sort of indication for when this becomes available to us "normal" users :)

The Long Road to War, a recent documentary about ww1 opened my eyes regarding geopolitics. The gist is that conflict was bound to happen, the spark that started was just the first domino to fall to set everything in motion. The way the leaders and top level brass think is in terms of opportunity. Country x is weaker now, they will be superior in 10-15 years, let's attack now while we have an advantage. Or in the opposite case, lets wait until we build canals, railroads, weapons and so on. The reasons for war can be fabricated with a false flag operation or expedited with provocations. Also in the meantime countries can keep smaller war zones active, this is to ensure the readiness of troops, they can have direct battlefield experience and know-how.

We always have to contend with the lowest common denominator. Maybe there is a certain percentage of progressive compassionate people that are interested in everyone's prosperity, but the rest are easily swayed and mobilized, so when the shit hits the fans we are all forced to choose sides and fight to survive. Another issue is that there always comes an easily impressionable generation that hasn't seen war and is eager and ready to go and fight for national ideals and reclaim those mythical glory days.

Any idea what kind of permitting or permission they had to go through to launch this? I'm assuming you can't just take what's basically a missile and go into the dessert and shoot it without the FAA knowing about it.
I doubt this has anything to do with anybody outside of South Korea, but this is precisely the sort of man adversarial states would want.

Think about what's going to happen next! You have an extremely unpopular leader trying to sieze power by force, presumably soon banning opposition parties and more.

It's going to create extreme discontent at the minimum, and civil war at a maximum.
And once he's eventually overthrown, his allies and interests often become anathema to the next regime, and the people.

This is is like an enemy successfully carrying out a color revolution on fast forward.

A team can learn and start using Golang in a week. That is in fact what is powering a lot of companies right now. Golang has even better memory safety guarantees than Rust and you don't really need to worry about memory management at all... Furthermore its compiled statically and more suitable for distribution and horizontal scaling. I am not sure how quickly a team can become productive in Rust but I am willing to bet that it would take way way longer to get off the ground. That being said, using an LLM might help with that but then you would still have code people don't understand and that becomes technical debt... Maybe I am just old and grumpy.. I am learning Rust myself and I just don't understand why it's being pushed so hard. I think Zig should be pushed for systems programming if anything..

Here one example. Al-Qaeda was the name of Osama bin Laden's legitimate political party in Saudi Arabia, which he kept separate from his jihadist activities in Afghanistan. There is not now, nor has there ever been, a shadowy international terrorist group called Al-Qaeda. It's a complete fiction that was used as a simple explanation for the dizzying array of groups hated by western oligarchs.

The point still stands, if you control the parliament, aren’t you the majority and the other side is the opposition? Or how is it defined who is the opposition?
Why this waffling around helping a western democracy defend itself against an enemy that purposefully bombs children's hospitals, is run by a dictatorship, and spews active measures disinformation campaigns all around the world?

Let me remind you that World War 2 effectively happened from the western democracies repeatedly appeasing the dictator's territorial ambitions and doing absolutely nothing to defend countries like Czechoslovakia and Poland, not from "sleepwalking into war"
Wow. That Johnny Somali guy really did a number on them. (Humor)
Takes a pretty strong stomach to connect Netanyahu and honesty in any way. The US had to delist some terrorist organisation to make it possible for him to form a government, which went on to intensify the crimes against the palestinians while routinely lying about it, and then shrugged off warnings about the coming attack on October 7th, and then he's been lying about the policy regarding captives, and so on and so on.

In Israel it's common to view his genocidal use of the IOF as a way to cling to power and avoid prosecution.

The temperature in Nairobi ranges from 15°C to 28°C, and it very rarely exceeds 30°C. Theres other parts of Kenya where the temp is 35c+. In the areas where the coffee farms once thrived—now converted into prime real estate—the temperature ranges from 10°C to 25°C. These areas were originally tropical forests before being cleared for coffee farming and later developed into housing estates.
There is still significant tree cover, which helps regulate the temperature, making these areas particularly attractive to foreign nationals.
This is so dystopian
I think they are both winning. Googling gives "The 2024 Y Combinator (YC) top companies have a combined valuation of $458 billion. In 2023, these companies generated a total revenue of $57.2 billion." Which is not bad starting from basically nothing 20 years ago. I don't think the S&P is doing badly either.

OK, I don't get it. There's lots of praise for this though so I must be missing something that lots of other people get value from, so perhaps someone could be kind enough to explain where's the benefit to this?

I'm fine with the history capturing what has actually happened. a Git history isn't something that is supposed to be admired as if it were a work of art.

The git history is the scaffolding, not the cathedral itself.

Even the source code isn't the cathedral, that's more super-structure. The product is the goal.
It’s not about being ‘better’. Older tech is just more fun! There are more moving parts, more differences between models, more to enjoy repairing, maintaining, hacking, comprehending! Modern tech is now so mature that it’s obfuscated to the point of being magic.

I don’t think it has much to do with ‘ethics’ at all — at least not for me.

The most effective way to advocate for Monero support is probably to contact OpenNode[1], Kagi's cryptocurrency payment processor. You can also chime in on Kagi's Feedback site [2]. Their founder specifically addressed Monero there [3]

"""
Just to acknowledge that Kagi already implements with OpenNode to accept crypto payments so this is specifically about Monero.

> I understand the technical issues with implementing Monero, but given the number of users that will be attracted to Kagi specifically because if its privacy, it seems quite inconsistent to only offer non-anonymised payment formats.

We heard the same argument before implementing crypto, and the reality is it attracted very small number of users (less than 0.3% Kagi users pay with crypto). Since this was extremely hard to implement, and there are already ways to convert Monero to Bitcoin so there is path to payment, and based on our previous experience we expect the impact of implementing Monero directly to be minimal, we have decided to focus our very limited resources elsewhere (eg. make search better). Thanks for understanding.

If your switching fabric can only deal with 1Gbps, yes, you've used it halfway up with heartbeats. But if your network is 1x 48 port 1G switch and 44x 24 port 1G switches, you won't bottleneck on heartbeats, because that spine switch should be able to simultaneously send and receive at line rate on all ports whicj is plenty of bandwidth. You might well bottleneck on other transmissions, but the nice thing about dist heartbeats is on a connection, each node is sending heartbeats on a timer and will close the connection if it doesn't see a heartbeat in some timeframe; it's a requirement for progress, it's not a requirement for a timely response, so you can end up with epic round trip times for net_adm:ping ... I've seen on the order of an hour once over a long distance dist connection with an unexpected bandwidth constraint.

It would probably be a lot more comfortable if your spine switch was 10g and your node switches had a 10g uplink, and you may want to consider LACP and double up all the connections. You might also want to consider other topologies, but this is just an illustration.
You're definitely not going to be linking to libc in a no_std environment, which is going to cover much (though not all) of embedded development. That will also remove some of the most bloated library dependencies from even being available to you in the first place, and of the rest, it will debloat a lot of them.

Even if your embedded development is targeting a hosted platform with libstd available, whether you link libc will depend on whether you use libc. Thanks to its stable syscall ABI, you don't have to link anything on Linux. But most other similarly situated operating systems require you to link something, whether it be USER32.DLL/KERNEL32.DLL on Windows, libSystem*.dylib on macOS, or yes, libc*.so on (most of?) the BSDs and other UNIX systems. And when libc is not required by the platform, but you do need some of its functionality (either out of convenience or cross-platform compatibility), you can statically link it (including MSVCRT on Windows).
> Bitcoin is not fully anonymous

Bitcoin is not anonymous at all, a public ledger is the opposite of anonymous if anything. At best it's pseudonymous.

I think parent used Mullvad as an example as they actually support creation of accounts 100% anonymously, as you can literally mail them an envelope with cash.

Show HN: Yeah.coffee – A Simple Tool to Improve Your Espresso
Hey HN!

I’m thrilled to share a little project I’ve been working on: yeah.coffee. It’s a straightforward tool designed to help anyone — whether you’re an espresso newbie or a seasoned coffee geek — dial in better shots.

Here’s how it works:

1) Brew your espresso like you normally would.
2) Enter details like your grind setting, coffee dose, yield, and shot time.
3) Taste your shot and tell the tool what flavors stood out (sour, bitter, flat, etc.).
4) Get practical tips to tweak your next brew.

I built this because I know how frustrating it can be to pull a shot that just doesn’t taste right. With multiple variables in play, it’s hard to know where to start making adjustments. My goal with yeah.coffee is to take out some of the guesswork and help more people enjoy the process of making great espresso at home.

It’s super simple, free, and works right in your browser. If you love coffee (or just love tinkering), I’d be so excited for you to give it a try and let me know what you think.

Check it out: https://yeah.coffee.

Feedback, ideas, or just coffee chat — drop them in the comments! Cheers!
I actually got a refurbished tape deck the other day, and the sound is quite good. A CD would sound a little better but they seem to actually become unreadable faster in storage than tapes? very counter intuitive.

I'd love a nice mp3 player set up, but it's sometimes harder to get those legally for music compared to a CD or even an old tape now! streaming has a lot of downsides in comparison and I think that's fueling the desire to own a full album in some form.
