Here's an important one: never use `mem::size_of_val(&T)`. Rust as a language strongly steers you towards ignoring double (or even triple)-referenced types because they're implicitly auto-dereferenced in most places, but the moment you try to throw one of those into this API it returns the size of the referenced reference `&T` which is very much not the same as `T`. I've been burned by this before, particularly in unsafe contexts; I only use `size_of::<T>()` now.
oh no. LLMs aren't up on the latest celebrity gossip. whatever shall we do.
No idea, I feel your confusion, I just use 7z and it could handle my zip needs so far

Sounds like another problem that capitalism solves without unnecessary overregulation: just don't buy (overly) advertised goods.
> Building industrial plants close to residential housing has led to an extortionate amount of pain and suffering over the years: cancers, fertility issues, etc.

Regulating environmental effluence saved a lot more lives than zoning. You’re arguing a false dichotomy between deregulated residential permitting and unregulated industrial construction.

At the end of the day, housing unaffordability is a political choice. It is currently one the Bay Area is making at the expense of a lot of lives. Those chickens will come home to roost, and the form they will take is a loss of local political power and service cuts. (My guess is San Francisco loses local zoning and rent-control powers. People will fight and die or whatever. But more people won’t listen.)

I think it’s smarter to react today than wait for the overreaction. But I suppose I know Bay Area politics prohibit that.

In the early 1960s, Washington was one of the first states to successfully ban billboards from freeways. An exception can be seen in the lands owned by the Puyallup Tribe along I-5 near Fife, where massive billboards and video screens now flank both sides of the freeway. (Being classified as sovereign nation, the Puyallups can have their own sign laws.) If that state ban had not passed, you would now be seeing hundreds of similar signs from Vancouver to Bellingham, from Port Angeles to Spokane.

The City of Seattle, like many other cities, later passed a law limiting the installation of more billboards, aka off-premises signs. This was an outgrowth of a national effort to reduce the proliferation of commercial advertising that was spoiling our views of mountains, lakes, forests, pastoral lands, and architectural landmarks. It also took an inventory of billboards, ordering removal of those that had been erected without permits.

The City’s law was challenged in court by Ackerley Communications, the owner of most of the billboards in Seattle. The courts upheld the law but the dilemma was that there were scores of billboards in all corners of the city. So a deal was struck that if a billboard that was near certain sensitive locations, like schools or parks or homes, and was then removed, a new one could be erected in certain acceptable locations elsewhere.

Many billboards are installed in parking lots or vacant lots that have since been developed and those could not be replaced, as sign owners lost the leases. So, therefore, over time, the number of billboards would gradually decrease.

Banning third party advertisers seems like it’s giving a huge advantage to large businesses that can afford their own in house ad departments
What is considered payment? Is that just money? Some advertisements could be paid for with goods services or favors. Which of those do we ban? Is proselyting religion advertising?
My favorite one isn't listed in the article, it's this one of Virgin America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1A5BtqsaPM

Seriously, a flight safety video has absolutely no right to be this catchy :D
If all advertising was banned, other institutions would set up to fill the vacuum. Imagine variations of Consumer Reports but that stretch across all sorts of industries.

Essentially, to get the word out about your organization or product (whether for-profit or non-profit), you'd have to convince someone with an audience to feature you *without paying them to do it*. In other words, your organization or product or service has to be genuinely interesting on its own.

And, since nobody else is allowed to pay for people's attention, you aren't competing with budgets, you are competing with other ideas. Imho this makes for a much more interesting information landscape.
Looks really nice. Will add it to my list of IDP options. The only feedback I do have is that the font used in your admin UI could be more professional.
How do you place a value on aesthetics? Or driver distraction? Or the irritation I feel when I see 50 billboards for cannabis every time I drive down the road near my house?
I've never heard the signage of Tokyo described as "tidy." Maybe "chaotic," or "overbearing" fit better.
Like keyboards and monitors I think Apple has long since been ok with most folks not using Apple devices for those uses.

I don't think the Apple Mouse is intended to compete with any power-user mouse like The Logitech MX 3 or any gaming mouse from Razer, Logitech, whoever.

It's meant to compete with the junky little thing you get with your PC that's wired, with who-knows-what DPI and 3 buttons at best. It's meant to be something that slips into your laptop bag and doesn't add *any* more bulk than the laptop itself.

So, editorialized, "of course" he's not going to be using an entry level mouse for power user usage.

That doesn't change the reality of how good or bad Apple's mouse is because it's not being sold to a power user. From what I've seen, power users tend to use that magic track pad thing, if they're Apple power users using Apple things.
The budget for the NPS is so small that if they shut it down, the effect on the deficit would be too small to measure. But someone would still need to manage those properties so it would be "necessary" to sell them off to private interests.

I really hope that's not going to happen, but that fits with strangling the parks for the necessary resources needed to operate. (And then mandating that they remain open.)
> Your position offers no predictions, offers no implications, and offers no way to be measured in any way.

That's fair, but I didn't say that I could offer any of that. All I offered was an explanation of the situation, specifically with respect to why only 1/6th of the mass of the universe can be accounted for, yet has been calculated rather accurately by measuring the inertial forces of distant galaxies.

> They may be interesting to some people, but if you want to think about them as physics, you need to provide a prediction.

I'm sorry, but I don't need to do anything, and I couldn't even if I wanted to as it's way out of my area of expertise. I'm merely explaining the situation. It's up to actual physicists to figure out how this situation can be testable, if indeed it can be.

I'm also not putting any responsibility on anyone else. I shared these ideas with people who have no clue whatsoever where all this dark matter is. The universe itself provided this clue to y'all. I don't care if anyone believes it or tries to utilize it at all.

The reality is that with all major advancements in science, someone comes up with a "crazy" idea -- Boltzmann, Gaileo, Copernicus, Einstein, Newton -- and then theories are constructed around it, experiments are devised, and then the theories and experiments are iterated until the details are hammered out.

If I was a physicist, I would know that no one on Earth has a single clue where all this dark matter is, so maybe I would take a random "crazy" idea and stir it around in my head and see if it could be helpful, see if it could be used to tweak an equation or dynamical system description or something.

That's the extent of my thinking about this, and is the fullness of my purpose in my sharing this with y'all. That no one (or very, very few people) in science understands that this informatic universe can be queried directly means that I had no hopes of anything coming of this. I offered a gift and if no one is interested, I really don't care; I made a good intention, and tried to explain the situation as best I could. That is all I am capable of doing in this realm, so I'm at peace with the entire situation. No one here could possibly disappoint me because I expected nothing.

Peace be with you. I wish you the best of luck, success and happiness in your endeavors. I didn't mean to cause anyone here any consternation, but presenting ideas -- if one is honest about reality -- cannot possibly cause anything like that, any more than Boltzmann caused Lord Kelvin and his cohort to be a bunch of brutal bullies. The truth is the truth, and that is all that really matters, and we are all each free to go our own way, and treat others however we see fit. I hope I have treated you well; please forgive me if I have spoken harshly here, I didn't mean to.

My always welcoming new ideas means that I tend to share what I have learned without hesitation. Most people are too provincial to be open-minded enough to listen to foreign ideas with grace and either politely ignore them, or, better yet, see if they can be used to expand their worldview, in whatever dimension, pun appreciated.
What a great idea. I believe in this a trillion percent, due to the personal experience of watching myself and a stronger developer tackle similar problems at the same time. I relied on my brain and the standard tools of my system. He of course did the same, but also made a custom visualizer for the core of the algorithm. Night and day improvement!

So I'm a believer in the principles. But I'm also curious about throwaway743950's question. What are the things in the Glamorous Toolkit that concretely make it better for this style of programming than traditional tools? You say "[it] just happens to be a nice system of tools that make it easy to make more little tools", but that's got to be downplaying it. Switching environments is an agonizingly costly thing to do. What rewards await those who make the jump? Rubies? Emeralds? Custom views-with-nested-sub-custom-views? Curious (but not yet won over) readers want to know.
Inverse Jim Cramer ETF closed 1 year ago due to lack of interest, sheesh.

To follow Pelosi, just look up the public record on the government website. It tells you the date and the product he used. Then just look up the chart for that day and look at the price range.
Distros are independent projects, so that's to be expected IMO. Though some level of interoperability is nice, diverse options being available is good.

That said, most distros have bsdtar in their repositories so you might want to use that instead. The package might be called libarchive depending on the distro. It can extract pretty much any format with a simple `bsdtar xf path/to/file`. AES is also supported for zips.

macOS includes it by default and Windows too IIRC, in case you're forced to become a paying Microsoft product^Wuser.

Vermont just banned billboards, period, alongside state highways (as do Hawai'i, Maine, and Alaska).

There is federal highway funding for billboard ads to promote wearing seat belts. Since Vermont didn't have billboards, they had to spend the money in nearby New Hampshire instead...

... New Hampshire doesn't have any seat belt laws.

it's okay. the media will be along to tell us how unsafe ketamine is because they don't like Elon.
In 2016, Trump agreed with that reasoning. He did a whole song and dance about leaving his businesses to his kids. In 2025 he didn't even pretend to hide it.

No one is saying that public officials should own nothing, but the concern is that if they own stock in an individual company, they will have an incentive to vote to benefit that company to drive up the stock price. For example, if I owned a ton of stock in Lockheed Martin, I might be incentivized to vote to declare a war that isn't necessary in order to get a bump in my income.

This doesn't mean that they actually would do this, it's possible that the politicians would have integrity and vote their actual positions, but I think for things like this the appearance of impropriety is almost as bad as actual impropriety. We need to have some level of trust in our political leaders, and having things that look unseemly is almost as bad as actual corruption.

Even if you could prove that Trump now maintaining his businesses has no effect on his political decisions, it would still be bad, because it still gives an appearance of corruption, and that erodes trust in our institutions.

I don't think most people would have a huge problem with politicians having stocks in broad mutual funds, especially if they don't directly know what's being invested in. This would encourage them to make the entire market grow, instead of just individual stocks.

Billboards are fantastic for some kinds of advertising. Like letting you know a big comedian or musician will be in town.

Honestly I like advertising in general, but Targeted ads are the problem. Billboards are the least targeted ad.
Drone startup | Product Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer | 2 days/week in the office (London, UK) | Citizens of the UNITED KINGDOM only
You'd be working with engineers who previously worked at Google, Amazon, an F1 team, and very early engineers at Darktrace and Helsing. We build drones (software and hardware)

We’re looking for engineers who prioritise real world impact, and use technology as a solution. We prefer personal projects or relevant hobbies, not hard leetcode questions. We’re looking for mission-driven engineers. People who see problems in the world and want to help solve them.

You’d be working with me to build low latency, multi-drone, modern mission planning, flight monitoring and control software for drones. Other applications include tools for drone design and manufacturing. For my project, we use React, Tailwind, Node, drizzle-orm, Postgres, SQLite, deck.gl, Python, FastAPI, asyncio, and more.

If interested, email my temporary email: hn-apr25@mail.orth.uk. Temporary only because of spam emails (not related to hiring).

It is a mess. My suggestion is to just rely on the built-in stuff as little as possible.

Everything I do gets a git repo and a flake.nix, and direnv activates the environment declared in the flake when I cd to that dir. If I write a script that uses grep, I add the script to the repo and I add pkgs.gnugrep to the flake.nix (also part of the repo).

This way, it's the declared version that gets used, not the system version. Later, when I hop from MacOS to Linux, or visa versa, or to WSL, the flake declares the same version of grep, so the script calls the same version of grep, again avoiding whatever the system has lying around.

It's a flow that I rather like, although many would describe nix as unfriendly to beginniners, so I'm reluctant to outright recommend it precisely. The important part is: declare your dependencies somehow and use only declared dependencies.

Nix is one way to do that, but there's also docker, or you could stick with a particular language ecosystem. python, nodejs, go, rust... they all have ways to bundle and invoke dependencies so you don't have to rely on the system being a certain way and be surprised when it isn't.

A nice side effect of doing this is that when you update your dependencies to newer versions, that ends up in a commit, so if everything breaks you can just check out the old commit and use that instead. And these repos, they don't have to be for software projects--they can just be for "all the tools I need when I'm doing XYZ". I have one for a patio I'm building.
Huh, could have fooled me. My first experience of Austin was long stretches of ugly billboards (I think mostly on Burnet and N Lamar), and despite living here for years that first impression never left. Now that I think about it, without some kind of ban of course there would be way more billboards where I now live.
People love to dunk on the USB port being on the bottom.

The USB port isn’t the issue: you plug in your mouse, go make a cup of coffee or go get your lunch and your mouse is fine in a few minutes.

The bigger issue is that it’s not a very nice to use mouse. Apple mice haven’t been good in a while.

Magic Trackpad on the other hand is fantastic.
"Panics are not crashes" is a new one. I'm referring to the fact that the rust code panics at the slightest sign of discomfort.

And they are very much more common than in most C codebases. C codebases are generally often overly permissive in what they accept (hence to security bugs). Rust made a different trade.
The cost of having the first amendment is you have to tolerate voices you don’t want to hear. You can’t silence them without introducing the threat of silencing yourself.

I've had cancer, I have the scars and the lifelong effects from the surgery and chemo. Don't try that emotional shit on me. I'll make whatever comparison I damn well want.

I'll never understand why they put the jobs on land surrounded by a moat on three sides. I had a supervisor 10 years ago who had a then-new 2 bedroom apartment in Mission Bay with her husband and child for $4900/mo. That's great if you're earning engineering manager money and your spouse is _also_ an engineer, but for those of us with children less than $200K household income, it's unaffordable.

What I want to hear about is startups surrounded on all 4 sides by affordable housing and decent public transit dropping you off within two blocks of work. Waking up in the morning and getting on that screeching BART train sucked away my will to put in 100% every day.

I’m doing work that makes me money. It’s entirely orthogonal to my skin tone. My point is this administration isn’t helping poor white men, the folks who voted for him, he’s just advantaging those who were lucky enough to start this imperial transition with capital on hand.
Security is a tradeoff, and right now it's more worth it to build and experiment than it is to not do that.
This is serious. You're both right.

In the type of consumer economy I saw "recover" after the Nixon Recession did its permanent damage, it became possible for the Feds to juice the economy more than ever (after stability was finally achieved), by adjusting interest rates and increasing spending in the right areas it would be amplified and they effectively gained more and more control of overall prosperity, more than any other one entity.

This couldn't have happened earlier until the wealth held by the government was beyond a certain ratio to that held by the combined population. In simplest terms disregarding important things like liquidity or absolute net worth. It wouldn't have been so bad except people got a lot poorer and vast opportunities were lost forever in a few short years. Government money had a much stronger seeding effect after that which was then relied on heavily ever since, but gradually squeezing the whole time.

Biden unleashed a bit of this and it still worked to some degree, just not enough people ended up feeling more prosperous before it was too late. Really helps the economy most if the ultimate beneficiaries are ordinary working people and are widely dispersed, but a lot of it does not come back to the Treasury and builds up as debt.

In a less-stable environment, increased government spending is less likely to hit its intended target, plus a great abundance of consumers have been tapped out and don't have the resources to amplify it and collectively bail out anything this time, which was the leverage that worked in the past.
This is a cool idea. Feels like a handy tool for streamlining thoughts without switching contexts too much.
That is a lot of response to a pretty tightly framed comment.

Especially considering most of the consequential decisions and impacts will play out over the next 6+ months.

Maybe people/governments will act one way; maybe another.
An estimate of how many satellites are needed to serve 500,000 users in the continental United States would be 500000 / (8x296) = 211 satellites when using UT-1.

With a uniform distribution of satellites over the Earth’s surface, and taking into account only the U.S. territory (2.55 percent of the Earth’s surface),the constellation should include 315 / 2.55% = 8,274 satellites.

in 2021, there were 1200 of them
Commercial speech is protected by the First Amendment. Regulations of commercial speech need to pass the "Central Hudson Test", which requires a compelling government interest (subject to heightened scrutiny) and narrowly-tailored regulation. Under this rubric, you can get cigarette ads off billboards, but you probably can't regulate Nike's ads.
Then why comment?!
