I lived in Singapore previously and currently living in Japan for the past 5 years. Japan is not like Singapore - yes you're right Singapore is a mostly government enforced society including the artificial cleanliness but Japan is not. Cleanliness in Japan is cultural, people in Japan truly care about cleanliness and it's "common sense" to them and you do not see "plenty of trash strewn about" in non-touristy areas of Japan. (Of course Japan is not some perfect society and there are places that are dirty)
This seems to yield only the summary, not the full paper?
Agree! And that's because there are some who just get this and are able to explore this in the space of ideas the same way we all have very different tastes in music and literature. Math has both practicality and poetry and many problems are introduced when the focus is one on. What one responds to is personal.
I'm not sure that distinction is completely fair.

Can't say I have nearly as much time under my belt but I've still seen the full continuum of straight well tested, documented code down to hacked together nonsense all within the same commerical code base.

I think to OP's point different code has different purposes commercial or not.
I know Rust doesn't do "strict aliasing", literally speaking. But that's partly because Rust's borrowing rules change the framing of the term strict aliasing as used in C, etc. It's similar for terms like "undefined behavior", where there's sometimes a certain amount of pedanticism from Rust developers that merely serves to deflect the point of contention.

Is this wrong? https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/aliasing.html Specifically

> In the previous example, we used the fact that &mut u32 can't be aliased to prove that writes to output can't possibly affect input. This lets us cache *input in a register, eliminating a read.
I ran the servers for our networks, binary exploitation, and intro systems programming classes, and this thing is a major annoyance. It is because of this stupid RAT that students do not understand how to use the OpenSSH client.

I've tried a few things to fix this:
1., I set a motd on our class servers asking the students not to use the VSCode remote server plugin.
2. I ran `ncdu /home` in front of the class and demonstrated how, without exception, everyone with >100MB of disk usage on the class server was a VSCode user.
3. I set a user process limit of 45, because the VSCode RAT (somehow) uses ~50 Node processes. When students inevitably ignored the motd and the in-class warning, they hit the process cap and had to ask us to kill their processes in order to get back onto the system.
4. I replaced the process limit with a script that kills all the .vscode-server RATs every 10 seconds.

Then educate yourself on the scientific method, evidence, logic, and so on. Because "HN people" are right to dismiss anecdotes as being useful evidence of anything.

That some research papers are dubious does not make personal anecdotes more reliable.
This is really impressive - nice work. I too use Ruby at work, and would love to build something like this.

They said "highest", not "solid". Family income isn't the highest factor there.
Your comments are quite good and accurate. I would add that funding from private foundations is in many cases only viable because NIH overhead is paying for the supporting infrastructure. Very few biomedical researchers are supported solely by private funding (including the building and lab facilities).

These changes also directly impact research hospitals, not just universities.

That doesn't mean indirect costs shouldn't be reformed. This is just simply the most disruptive possible way to do it.
The person you replied to has such a fundamental lack of understanding of scientific method and logic, you're trying to make a horse drink.
I also agree that Linux should close the door to Rust as a matter of principle, as it has done to any other language other than C. I don't believe in a mixed language kernel, it is just nonsense, specially with such a different language such as Rust which is closer to C++ in philosophy.

Unfortunately, I can't access the full text of the study directly, but I would argue it would be more accurate to say it impacted (past tense) 1 million children, assuming this paragraph from the news story is correct:

> Results of the analysis, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, showed approximately 1.01 million children, or 1.4%, are believed to have ever experienced long COVID as of 2023 and about 293,000, or 0.4%, were experiencing the condition when the survey was being conducted.

There are certainly reasons to think it might be under-reported, so perhaps that should go in the headline (or subheadline) as well. But I don't think the headline should suggest this particular study estimated 1 million children were experiencing it at the time.

I think it's more a case that browsers take security into account at the feature design phase, whereas other applications don't. That's actually a huge step in the right direction. Same thing with mobile OSes, which have a very preferable decision to sandbox individual applications, instead of running them with full user permissions & full user data access, like desktop OSes do.

Now, whether the browsers or mobile OSes actually are secure because of that, is a separate thing, but those are good steps to take.

Tried (completely) cold showers for a while.

anecdotally:

- the first 15 seconds are the worst, especially cold water on your back.

- it is invigorating. There is a feeling of "being present" that doesn't seem to happen with a hot shower.

- when you get out, the room and toweling off does not feel cold.

- the bathroom mirrors did not fog

I have no idea of the health benefits.

At some point I stopped doing it and then couldn't ever go back.

However, sometimes I do the "james bond shower", which is a hot shower that tapers to cold. mirrors fog, but still somewhat invigorating and easier to do.

I also once stayed in a hotel which had a dual shower stall. I put one to hot, one to cold and would go back and forth. That was very fun and invigorating.
Not everything can be broken down into 5 line patches. Some of the bigger features need bigger code. You can look at the impact radius and see if the patch is behind a feature flag to make a decision. In this case, it seems like it is elective and does not have any changes beyond what is self-contained.

Is a third part of your comment missing or ...? I think this puts a focus on how much Internet connectivity is nearly necessary
the problem is more your cohort than "gverment work".
China is not the UK, and isn’t comparable, any more than the US was. Apple’s manufacturing is far more dependent on China than it is the UK, with one exception: Arm. Legitimately, if the UK government declare Arm to be unexportable to the US, they can completely fuck over everyone except Apple, who I expect has a Complete Code license or equivalent so that they can continue development of Arm goes bankrupt or gets cut off from international trade.

A better question that supports the point here is:

Which of the world’s countries are able to materially damage Apple’s ability to transact business in other countries?

Those countries hold serious and real leverage over Apple, because Apple can’t just walk away from doing business in that one country without having their business impacted elsewhere. The UK is not on my version of that list, but if you’ve a good reason why it should be, that’s the missing data here and that’s invaluable leverage to recognize. (It may well also already be documented in Apple’s financials.)
Thank you for explaining, I appreciate it. I could see we were talking past each other, but I wasn't sure how.
How much of this was good faith questioning and how much of it was that the public has been propagandized by platforms whose algorithms favor outrage and anger?
This is inevitable: Rust is proposed as a safe language, but there is no way to have a "half-secure" kernel. The only option for people who believe in Rust is to have its own kernel, and Linux should have no part on this.

Nothing. Authors have the exclusive privilege of selling copies of their works. That's all. They do not own their work. The language belongs to all of us. We grant the privilege to encourage original works. Not you nor anyone else own our language.

When is the Risc-V support coming?
We've only seen what the media has reported and from people that are getting fired (and hate Trump and Musk). We don't know what's actually going on from the inside.

In my city, I've been seeing people posting on Facebook since Trump came into office that ICE was pulling kids out of school, according to teachers working there and other employees that witnessed it'. When someone actually investigated this, it never happened. ICE was never even near the school.

I've been in cybersecurity for a couple of decades and I remember when they were investigating the networks attached to the voting machines. There were glaring security issues (old/outdated software being used and the ability to get updates over the Internet (when it wasn't supposed to be connected at all). Many from the security community came out and denied that there was even an issue at all.

While there was no proof that the voting machines were hacked, these obvious security issues shouldn't be ignored. I don't think anything has changed.

When Trump won in 2016, the security community talked about all of the insecurities in the dominion voting machines (with Proof-of-concept attack chains). All of these articles disappeared after Biden won in 2020 and the community stopped talking about any issues with the voting machines. I expect to see more articles about it, now that Trump is back in the Whitehouse.

It's really hard for me to take anything seriously from the security community when it comes to things like this because many are so politically motivated, they are willing to ignore obvious evidence when it hurts the people they like and exaggerate (and outright lie) about security issues when it comes to people they hate.
You will run an autonomous ai agent on your own hardware or by having your own local ai pass out commands to distributed systems online, ai, real people, or just good old fashioned programming. There is no stopping this.
Life may be abundant. Intelligent life with technological civilizations is probably not. It took 4 billion years on earth. That’s 1/3 the age of the universe.
Because if the Agent code is compromised, the fact that it leaves things behind is enough for an attacker to hide whatever they need along with the vs code blob. Vscode does this for the right reason, mostly it’s so the bulk of it runs on the host where you’re doing remote development or WSL or whatever. But like a lot of dev stuff these days, compromise the npm packages and bingo you can own all the machines.

Npm is already a terrible thing because the packages are managed so haphazardly, but now you’re exposed to the nonsense without even going anywhere near the mad rodeo of node. I like vscode but it’s not going anywhere near a machine I care about.

And parental education, race, and household income are also all correlated with one another... And the paper you cited makes the point that the correlation between socioeconomic background and test scores has increased substantially since 1995. This is not the gotcha that you think it is.

Also just having read access is still a problem when the read access is for PII and other sensitive information. You want a 19 year old kid who got fired from an internship for leaking sensitive information to have read access to all your employee data? (Pay, retirement, worker's comp, performance, banking information, and everything else). How about your social security records? Medical records from the VA? The list goes on.
Partially, but it takes two to tango.

There are softer ways to work with abrasive attitudes that can ultimately accomplish your goals. A key part of that is knowing which battles are worth fighting. Sometimes, it's better to let a suboptimal solution in to appease an ego.

I think Hector's change is the right one, but I also think with the dma maintainer being unwilling to budge the next move is to hack in a location with less resistance, potentially making more work and churn, but ultimately achieving the goal of rust in Linux.

Two people being abrasive to each other with code involved is a disaster.
H2alagút: Fetch adapter that uses HTTP/2 and can tunnel through an HTTP/1 proxy
What?

- HTTP/2: Utilises Node's built‑in http2 module.

- Proxy Tunneling: Automatically tunnels through an HTTP/1 proxy (via HTTP CONNECT) when a proxy configuration is provided.

- Fetch-like API: Provides a drop‑in replacement for the standard Fetch API. The returned Response object supports properties such as status and methods like text() and json().

Why?

Because many proxy services still use HTTP/1.1, while many sites use HTTP/2.
I agree that Linus should have made a clear statement.

> Maybe he knows he should, but he fears the shitstorm it will cause.

I always felt that the Rust community is creating a huge social pressure on lots of projects. Rust was more forced into the Linux kernel than being welcomed by Linus and many core maintainers. The pronounced evangelism (not a compliment!) in the Rust community is not only off-putting by being a form of non-violent aggression but creates real problems like wasted energy and resources. This is not generally true, as there're great examples of Rust being adopted from within projects. But also others where Rust was pushed from the outside, like curl.

In my opinion it's a failed experiment. The reason for the failure might not be on the technical side, but on the social side. On the other hand, if Linus wants Rust in the kernel as a way to get new, young, enthusiastic devs into Linux core development, than he should use his role and make a very clear statement as he's done before, like: "Everybody shut up and accept and welcome Rust as first class citizen."
SD: Intuitive find and replace CLI (sed alternative)
I am not sure what you find unfair, not like I am polarizing anything. I too introduced nuance via the "chef's hat" amount of effort one is willing to introduce.

I was also disagreeing with OP about their idea that polishing code is a waste time more often than not. That has been very far from the truth in my career. If you know what you are doing then "polishing" absolutely does bring value in the form of better velocity even as soon as one week in the future.
They're being downvoted likely because one study which missed a factor does not make personal anecdotes more valuable, or say anything about the reliability of the scientific method.

The irony of using one study...yeesh.

Also: science is iterative, people. Nobody in the scientific community looks at one study in a vacuum. Follow-up studies seek to confirm, efine, build off of, or come up with a different theory.

Only internet commenters who pride themselves in being "skeptics" do this - because they think skeptics are the smartest people, failing to understand that uneducated skepticism has little value.

When they hear the study had some flaw, they shout "AHA! RESEARCH IS BUNK!" and assume everything that came out of it was useless. Or, more commonly, they don't see some obvious potential flaw not specifically spelled out as being addressed just like a math paper wouldn't explain basic calculus - and assume they've found some flaw that somehow multiple people who have studied in their field for years - missed.

It's like looking at a bowl of cake batter and crying out "that's soup, you're incompetent!" to a chef who has a Michelin star, because it doesn't look or taste like a cake.
