Did they mention they price further down.
I assume that they mean that you can use Rust as a language without its standard library. This matters here since the Kernel does not use Rust's standard library as far as I know (only the core module).

I'm not aware of semver breakage in the language.

Another important aspect is that Semver is a social contract, not a mechanical guarantee. The Semver spec dedicates a lot of place to clarify that it's about documented APIs and behaviors, not all visible behavior. Rust has a page where it documents its guarantees for libraries [0].

What I'm saying is that in order to do a fair comparision, you should include the total amount of (inflation adjusted) income your father got from the govt for his job, not just the yearly income recieved during working years.

To illustrate, it would cost about a million dollars today to buy 20 years worth of $60k/year income (inflation adjusted). And that's using TIPS which have favorable rates right now. 5 years ago it probably would have cost more than double that.

Sure, someone could fund that themselves, but then they'd need to make more while they're working to stash that away on their own. Which is why you need to look at total income.
Yeah that's right, the same amount of lines appear in the output.

That person is someone called `Sima` and their posts on Mastodon are pure gas lighting. These are the worst abusers.
I use Typescript, but I've found comprehensive JSDoc comments do much of the same thing in the right IDE (JetBrains) without paying any of the build time. So, when I have the choice I just use ES2017 (whichever version that has async/await)

Typescript only ever paid off in-terms of capabilities for me when my dependencies went all-in with the runtime type information - felt a lot like Java development marshalling and unmarshalling JSON to objects. But by then, my build times were turning into molasses.

> But I think for a lot of people, "Stop sending tons of our tax money to other countries" is a step to repair some of that trust with the population

Yes, bingo. On both sides, people have become extremely sick of seeing "billions of dollars sent to X" in the news knowing that we, American citizens, will never receive anything like that amount of aid
"openly funding opposition" is better than "deepfakes and invasion"
Can’t say I’d want you on the team characterizing a situation like this, and communicating about a situation like this, as “victim mentality.”

There’s a lot of toxic behaviors that have wormed their way into certain parts of culture. I’m not as concerned about bright, brash men like Hector.
Ask HN: It would be nice if text editors and IDEs would show the tab number
It may be a feature but I cannot find it. The two main applications I am using is Visual Studio Code and Jetbrains IDEs.

In both, I can see what line number and column my cursor is located. This is incredibly useful when I need it.

What I cannot see is the tab number where my cursor is.

This is probably a niche request but I am double checking and validating tab separated text files and the only way I can verify it is in the correct column is counting from the left.

Visual Studio Code at least has an extension that color codes the columns so that makes it somewhat easier with CSV files.
Because we get a lot of travelers through our country who may otherwise spread TB here if we made no effort to control it outside of the country, and it would be a huge public health problem for us despite the fact that treatment for it is readily available in our country.

If we're going to do this we should probably institute some kind of health screening during the immigration process at entry points.

I don't think that is a correct interpretation. As I understand it, Linux does not have a notion of someone being obliged to help facilitate a patch, especially if it's not the narrow case of a maintainer and a patch to the subsystem they are in charge of. What do you do if you are a C developer modifying system A, your change has implications for system B which includes Rust code, and none of the Rust developers involved with B care to volunteer time to draft the necessary changes to Rust code for you?

The same situation of course also arises between C-only subsystems, but then the natural solution is that you have to go and understand system B well enough yourself that you can make the necessary changes to it and submit them as part of your patch. In that situation you are "forced to use C", but that's a free square because you are always forced to use C to contribute to Linux code.

> The worst thing a corporation is likely to do (other than giving your data to governments) is to sell you something. That's all they want. They collect data so they can make money off you. That's not so scary to me. Governments want to put you in jail (or freeze your bank account, etc) if you get out of line.

It depends what government and what corporations. If it's a healthy functionally representative government then it's rules and laws can be to a certain extent controlled by the public. It may be harder to influence corporations. If a bank wants to close your account, or Visa stops accepting your payments or airlines don't let you fly, you can't complain, they'll just "well tough luck, it's our bank, our airplanes, our payment system, go create your own if you disagree". So I agree with you that this should be a worrying thing for the U.K. citizens, they should ask their government why the heck does it want all that data and maybe it should stop.

> Yes, corporations and the government are often in cahoots here - but even then we should be talking about how wrong it is for governments to be buying/taking/demanding data from corporations - keeping the focus squarely on the government.

Very much in cahoots. They hide behind each others backs, too. "(Apple): Sorry, government made us do it, our hands are tied". "(Govt): Sorry, _we_ are not spying on you. We just bought some data from Google or Apple".
I am still using a 2012 X230 and it taking 40 seconds to boot already feels slow. Six minutes sounds like an HDD boot, but console lagging? I don't know how that could even happen - I occasionally run OpenBSD on an even older Atom netbook, and even (un-accelerated) X doesn't really lag.

The number of people you know who have or die of cancer grows exponentially with age once you are an adult.

In 20s-early 30s, maybe 0 if your parents/uncles/aunts are lucky. You can be completely oblivious to it if your older relatives manage to escape it.

By 40 you start hearing about friends having it pretty routinely. We seem to have hit a one close friend per year pace at the moment.

Every time I talk to my 70+ parents, they are telling me about a funeral they've been to recently, often caused by either cancer or heart disease.

My SO suggested that USAID was a target because during the elimination of Apartheid in South Africa it was a critical component of empowering the black population there. Elon Musk's family apparently lost a lot of their political power as a result of that, and this might be payback.

It's similar to why a lot of people thought George W. Bush rolled invading Iraq into his plan to take down Al-Qaeda despite Iraq not apparently harboring them.

Russias conquered landmass is surrounded by suppressed ethnicities with an axe to grind. You do not get to have a moment of weakness in that region.
You have a moment of weakness and then the aserbeidschanis, the turks, the chechyans and the chinese jump you and turn the yalu river red. Russias benefit was the tech transfer from europe to always stay ahead of the competition. They can not have a peaceful europe.

The speaker doesn't understand the audience question and doesn't respond to it.

The audience member points out that they shouldn't encode the semantics into the Rust type system because that would mean that refactoring the C code breaks Rust, which is not an acceptable situation. The speaker responds to this by saying essentially "tell me what the semantics are and I'll encode them in the Rust type system." That's maximally missing the point.

The proposal would cause large classes of changes to C to break the build, which would dramatically slow down kernel development, even if a small handful of Rust volunteers agree to eventually come in and fix the build.

> You can literally shove facts in someone's face, and they won't admit to being wrong or misunderstand, and instead continue to argue against some points whose premise isn't even true.

I have to say that I used to be excited about Rust, but the Rust community seems very toxic to me. I see a lot of anger, aggression, vindictiveness, public drama, etc. On HN you not infrequently see down voting to indicate disagreement. These clashes with the Linux maintainers look really bad for Rust to me. So bad that I'm pretty convinced Rust as a language is over if they're no longer banging on the technical merits and are instead banging on the table.

I'm sure there are great things about the community. But I would encourage the community to have higher standards of behavior if they want to be taken seriously. The Linux team seem like they're trying to look beyond the childishness because they are optimistic about the technical merits, but they must be so tired of the drama.

It’s worth noting that this is just the current winds of change with the current administration and not how the US has always acted. Every major economy uses tariffs. This particular use of tariffs is the Trump Administration v1 and v2’s preferred magic hammer for whatever nail they want to hit.
I went down a slight rabbit hole for this: apparently both are correct, although "hone in" doesn't seem to have a ground source and has gotten institutionalized in our lexicon over time.

By the way, I don't mind the nit at all! English is not my first language and I slip up occasionally, so refreshers are welcome :-)
They’re very exposed and the only way Taiwan independence survives is by keeping IP and skills locked up on the island. What you can bet on is if Intel had the goods, Trump would say “meh, let’s deal” to China. Compared to that, what cost is a tariff or two?

If I were Taiwan, I’d say “give us nukes and a couple subs, then you get our best factories”. The US nuclear umbrella is now less of a guarantee and countries need to own their security.
This is inconsistent with the general line of the Party, comrade. Your train to Vorkuta awaits.
I think confronting those volunteers that maintain open-source software with arguments such as "you just do not want to learn new things" , "are scared of change", etc. is very unfair. IMHO new ideas should prove themselves and not pushed through because google wants it or certain enthusiastic groups believe this is the future. If Rust is so much better, people should just build cool stuff and then it will be successful anyway.

The US wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to be considered a democratic, competition-friendly, rules conforming country but will act as an autocratic anti-competitive bully against other nations when it sees fit. Of course, I never fell for the propaganda, but it is time for people wake up and realize this is a facade.

That's true for literally every non static function in C, given the lack of namespaces. So it can't be a blocker.

Many other rich countries give more on a per capita basis.[1]
Indeed the U.S. has been kinda cheap, on a percent of gross national income basis.[2]
It could be countered, of course, that the U.S. has paid substantially more for defense, and for the defense of many donor countries.

I'm a web developer. I've never written a hash table, heap or bubble sort. I just use tools provided by the platform. But I've found it helpful to understand the tools that I'm using, and can't really imagine any programmer who wouldn't, unless they've never connected the dots between the theoretical knowledge they obtained and the tools they use every day to do their job.
If I was worth half a ten thousandth of that you'd never hear from me again, and I'd be living it up on the $600+k/yr my $10M pays me to do nothing.

I'd definitely disagree. Current Odysseys are absolutely a premium feel, especially in the higher trims. In fact, thats part of what sets them apart. The entire experience just feels so much nicer overall. The seats, the sound system, the performance, the thoughtful technology integration.. its a great car overall and is especially noticeable when compared apples-to-apples with other brands.

Sure, but that was only a personal opinion tangent and not the core of my argument which still stands. That's like the safari guide telling you to stay in the vehicle because the Bengali tigers outside will maul you and you go "Ackshually, those are Siberian Tigers, not Bengali." While you're technically correct, it doesn't change the point.
> I don't believe in the Linux project since a few years now, especially as "the bearded ones" are not interested in moving the project to a certain future, but only jerking on their old own code.

I personally lost my confidence in it when they stopped properly triaging security issues and flooded everyone interested with just noise.
So when do we all wake up from this nightmare?
> Being a regression from pre-Chromium Edge, this should have been a release blocker on Chromium-based Edge. Instead, text looked bad for 4 years.

Text didn't look bad. It just didn't look identical to the rest of the OS.

It's not obvious why that should be a blocker at all, rather than a low-priority inconsistency.

And for people who switch between devices all day long but use the same browser, you could even argue that it's more important for text rendering to be consistent in a browser across devices, rather than consistent within a device. I don't personally think that, but I can see why there might discussion over whether this is even an issue at all, much less a blocking one.

Process matters and laws matter. The federal budget is set by congress. If the executive branch is allowed to unilaterally withhold or redirect money then what is the point of congressional budgetary authority? If they had won a super majority then they would have also been able to pass whatever laws/budgets/etc. through congress (assuming they're constitutional).

People are not just objecting to what they're doing, but how they're doing it.
IMO because you have to be a psychopath/sociopath to make that amount of money.

We're talking hundred's of billions of dollars here; $20 million is already a big fortune where 2% interest gets you $200,000.

These people (on paper) have 5 orders of magnitude (100,000x) more. At that point you aren't doing all the questionable things it takes to get there for the money. IMO you have to be broken in some way, shape or form to do what it takes to get there.
My guess is, that similar flaws have been known and exploited for ages. I doubt that iridium was ever truly safe to begin with.
I was recently looking into renting an iridium satellite modem and while doing so, I found a pdf on some shady private intelligence agencies website that documented a tool to intercept calls and messages as well as locating users of the network. The screenshots looked like a late 90s, early 2000s windows ui and talked about special radio equipment that the tool interfaces with.

> There is nothing the Rust developers could possibly do or say that would alleviate the concern you've just exprssed.

They could do exactly what Ted Ts'o suggested in his email [1] that Marcan cited: They could integrate more into the existing kernel-development community, contribute to Linux in general, not just in relation to their pet projects, and over time earn trust that, when they make promises with long time horizons, they can actually keep them. Because, if they can't keep those promises, whoever lets their code into the kernel ends up having to keep their promises for them.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250208204416.GL1130956@mit.ed...
Hmmm that's an important point
> Marcan links to an email by Ted Tso'o (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250208204416.GL1130956@mit.ed...) that is interesting to read. Although it starts on a polarising note ("thin blue line")

Can I say that I was immediately put off by the author conflating the "thin blue line" quote from with a political orientation?

The full quote (from the article) being: "Later in that thread, another major maintainer unironically stated “We are the ‘thin blue line’”, and nobody cared, which just further confirmed to me that I don’t want to have anything to do with them."

The way I read it, "thin blue line" is being used as a figure of speech. I get what they are referring to and I don't see an endorsement. It doesn't necessarily means a right-wing affiliation or sympathy.

To me it seems like the author is projecting a right-wing affiliation and a political connotation where there is none (at least not officially, as far as I can see on https://thunk.org/tytso/) in order to discredit Theodore Ts'o. Which is a low point, because attacking Ts'o on a personal level means Martin is out of ammunitions to back their arguments.

But then again, Hector Martin is the same person that though that brigading and shaming on social media is an acceptable approach to collaboration in the open source space:

"If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas."

from https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/6/404

To me, from outside, Hector Martin looks like a technically talented but otherwise toxic person that is trying to use public shaming on social media and ranting on his blog as tools and tactics to impose their will and force the otherwise democratic process of development the linux kernel. And the on top of everything it's behaving like a victim.

It's a good thing they are resigning, in my opinion.
While that is closer to ORM in the classical sense, the modern use – and why I used 'oft referred to' – is more accurately a query builder, but get called ORM regardless. The reason people reach for this type of tool is because there hasn't been a good solution to this with SQL proper, necessitating another language. Until now.
Too much marketing fluff on the website. How about showing simple example as how is it easier or useful to deploy some service to fly.io , AWS or GCP or maybe a Postgres deployment to Digital Ocean, Render or whatever.
