sbeckerivon Researchers successfully potty-train cows

I support my local farmers that are doing things better. However, I do believe lab and veggie meat is a solution to a volume problem. To quote your own site "Mulligan Farms, LLC is an agricultural concern run by a family of new and dedicated farmers, and has wildly fluctuating resources." Lab meat and even highly processed veggie meat is about feeding the billions. There will also be local farmers who can provide amazing resources no matter what the out come.

> It seems insanely simplistic to say that "we can grow this phenotype in the lab, so it'll be exactly the same as one raised in a barn or on a pasture."

It seems insanely unimaginative to think we can not.

This is also covered in a chapter in the book when you deploy the project. I did not do a live deploy but the it looked like a nice setup even for a pet project.

sbeckerivon Zero to Production in Rust

Learn it because you are interested. If nothing else you take back something you learn to another language. The zero2prod has a nice 38 page sample. I'm not sure how zero is for someone who has never written rust.

sbeckerivon Zero to Production in Rust

I have been writing rust for personal projects for years. I love how the book structures the project and it is test driven. I will be using it as an example when I do projects moving forward. I like that it is one complete project a lot as well.

It is off topic for the book but I want to add a yew.rs frontend. I call it the PAY stack (Postgres actix and yew).

sbeckerivon Show HN: Self-hosted offline Internet from your browsing history

selfplug: https://sbeckeriv.github.io/personal_search/

I am working on a personal project that like this. It is in early stages. I am creating a local search based on my browser history. So it doesnt crawl pages. Also the fetch is out of bounds of the browser so Authed urls are not supported out of the box.

I have a bookmarklet currently that lets met "pin" my page. my pinned pages are my new home page. Its how I keep my tabs closed.

I do not do a full archive level (but i could). Instead you get an offline view that is stripped of most things. example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbeckeriv/personal_search/...

a self hosted version is on the roadmap.

sbeckerivon Ask HN: Should I learn C/C++ or Rust as my first systems programming language?

I have used Ruby and yes Rails for work for over 10 years. I did learn c++ in school but never use it professionally. Like you I see a lot of what I like in Ruby in Rust. I have been using it "amateurishly" for the last 3 years. I it has made me think about my Ruby code differently for the better. Could C/C++ do the same thing? I am unsure. I hope to one day use Rust as a professional but until then it will be my go to for fun projects and serve as a tool for learning. I expect Rust to extent beyond the statement of "systems language" at some point. I just wrote a search tool based on my browser history using 99% Rust (Actix server, Tantivy search and Yew wasm frontend). Not having to write much javascript for a full stack project was refreshing.

sbeckerivon Google removes all Danish music from YouTube

A private largest yard owner goes to a group of children that have been playing there for years, and tells one “I want all your lunches, or leave my private yard.” The children refuse, and they leave; but it’s the children’s fault for not allowing the bully to take some of their lunch, and leave.

The schoolyard made it sound like youtube was a public park. I think this still gets the point across.

sbeckerivon Ray Tracing Essentials, Part 1: Basics of Ray Tracing

I love seeing this book listed. I picked it up 4ish years ago while learning Rust. I was converting the code to Rust and I found a small bug[1] because I could not convert the code as it was. Peter was amazingly responsive and encouraging. I highly recommend this and the second second book.

sbeckerivon System76 Will Ship Linux Laptops With Coreboot-Based Open-Source Firmware

Yes every manufactured product will have its percentage of issues. I think it is how you handle the failures and the customers that will be important moving forward.

I can not speak to the original quote but my experience as not been amazing. My 4k Oryx Pro has rebooted randomly since the second month I have owned it. I sent it back 3 times already, ran tests per support and even reinstalled PopOs many times. It still has randomly rebooted. My last interaction with support was just past the year mark of when I bought it and I was asked to pay to replace the last item (the battery, just about everything else was replaced).

I love using PopOs. I love the 4k screen I have and the Oryx. I dont love writing this or the response I sent to support about the request for paying for it. It gives me pause when recommending System76 to a coworker/friend and I will be looking around when when the time comes to get a new laptop. Support was helpful when I had a linux issue early on but the rest of year long interaction was about the reboots.

sbeckerivon Ask HN: A business sold my email. What can I do about it?

Follow up: After some back and forth with support they are forwarding it to the "webmaster". They do not sell emails so no small claims. I will be following up with them.

Thanks!

Does some offer this as a service yet?

sbeckerivon Ask HN: A business sold my email. What can I do about it?

I assume they sold my email. I have no supporting evidence that they did. I did receive an email back from support saying they don't sell email addresses. I replied with more information.
