Not sure if this is a piece in favor or against Rust.

Rob says he had so much fun with Rust, but a significant number of his projects were abandoned or are still "work in progress".

What you basically wrote is that my problems would go away if only I wrote code that the compiler approves..

But that is not easy, and much of that is due to the complexity of Rust and the way it handles memory safety. Which is where fighting the compiler comes in.

I read that and honestly I can't see how that article could improve anything.

The author goes into a bunch of other issues or uses his own terminology, which makes things even more confusing.

Nah, have you ever met a "sovereign citizen" that gives anything back to the society?

Yeah, that's how I see it too.

This is so annoying people have created browser extensions to remove Pinterest links from search results

Are we talking about actual , "willing", users or people who accidentally clicked on a Pinterest link in their search results then immediately clicked back?

Because that's exactly how I use Pinterest.

Currently fighting the borrow checker.

My project has not moved much this last week due to an issue I just can't understand. Have rewritten the offending code 4 times but it always fail to compile somehow.

At this point, I am only staying with Rust because of the ergonomics of enum and iterators. The memory safety stuff is 90% writing safe code then fighting the compiler to agree with you.

:(

Friendly reminder that your company probably pays significant money to dropbox for something you dont use.

At my last company I proposed an audit of our cloud storage services. IT emailed everyone to close their corporate account if they absolutely didn't have to use Dropbox (or move files to personal account if they were storing personal files).

It turned out that most paid a accounts existed because someone had shared something with an employer who then used his corporate email to create a dropbox account. We ended up saving A LOT of money by closing those.

> project was taken over by the linux foundation

Why? What is role of Linux Foundation anyway?

(Beside spending members tons of spam and completely ignore GDPR?)

This collaboration ia about optimising the engine for Vulkan on Android.

Very nice of Google to support Godot this way. Looking forward to a new wave of Android games with great performance and minimal battery drain.

The Verge loves drama. These gotcha-style posts brings them a lot of traffic.

This doesn't need to be malicious. Google has demonstrated similar things elsewhere.

Someone wanted to do a cool video based on the stuff that are working on. The blog posts explain everything in detail if you want to look behind the curtains

> We reported our findings to Microsoft, but a fix is not planned.

The old Microsoft is back then?

On the contrary, this is about support for new virtualization model in ARMv9, which the latest Pixel use.

I have two questions:

1. How did it go this wrong? A truck that struggles going uphill, can't carry much load and has a range 270 miles?

2. Who is buying this car despite everything??

r/RealTesla has some close up pictures for those of you who haven't seen it IRL. I have seen school projects with better fit and finish.

Note that newpipe has a librapay account, which so far I have found relaible. It is run from France, and the owners are paid not from librapay cash pile but from their own donation pages.

Here is the discussion that went on among newpipe devs before setting it up

I am already supporting them this way, but seeing they have 1.2k open issues maybe it would be better to contribute with patches and maintenence instead?

I heard that his writing could have been a way to process what he went through during the war. That could explain the darkness.

There is a modern fantasy writer that writes quite dark stories. I read that this is because of a very sick family member, and some of his best books have been written in a hospital room. While I applaude both for turning something bad into something good, these sort of books are just not my cup of tea. And I think a lot of people are like me. We read books to get away from the problems of real life, not dive into other people's troubled minds.

I belive the project was started by someone who was not a programmer. I bet your first project didn't look that great either ;)

I am currently reviewing safety critical code written by two very respected companies and occasionally that code looks worse than the snippets author showed.

I feel this was the winter of sci-fi.

I enjoyed Dune and Androids but the rest are mostly meh. A lot of DNF books for me (including Slaughterhouse-Five, which I know has its fans but I really disliked)

Hugged to death already

I've identical machines running latest Ubuntu and Debian. The difference in speed & size is very noticeable, for example when you do update or look at memory usage.

Ubuntu has a bunch of apps and services running in background that slow down the system. A lot of stuff related to their way of doing packaging or containers or cloud init.

Ubuntu is not that lean either. Something like Debian may fair better here.

There are also distros like Clear Linux that are extremely lean and efficient. Unfortunately that particular one is owned by Intel :(

PS. So sad to see another HN post about AMD CPUs quickly turn into a discussion about Apple CPUs

> I've been consistently on the side of OpenAI's board since this started

This all started like 48 hours ago and we still don't know anything

Never bothered me and I don't think this is a marketing thing.

But on Android you can always use another keyboard, or go to gboard settings, text correction and turn off auto-capitalization.

Unfortunately you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Just look where his old buddies are now, start with the Reddit folks.

You are correct. I think my brain was on a break while I was writing that :)

Is there anything "useful" in this dump?

The article mentions citrix and emails, but that could be anything

Well, every time Boeing tried to bribe a country, someone leaked emails and audio recordings from their secret meetings.

Usually we blame the Chinese, but in this case I think its a toss between CIA and NSA.

(I think I'm on some kind of list now)

Edit: I am an idiot. I was thinking of Airbus, see @perihelions comment below

What does "Tesla of e-bikes" even mean? It is definitely not the quality stamp you think it is:

That already exists.

You can buy kit to electrify your bike on amazon and alix

I believe I speak for everyone here when I say this:

This calls for a new van Damme commercial.
