stop50··on Hyperscalers are buying all the chips to then rent them to us later
in the Price for an nvidia card is not only the price for the card. Its also the limitations of producing it. The Hyperscalers have much deeper pockets than the consumers, so they compete via the price to buy as much as possible from the limited batches nvidia/amd/... sell. As a result, manufacturers are changing the number of different chip types, so that instead of 4 graphics cards and 1 CUDA card, there is now 1 graphic card and 3 CUDA cards.
stop50··on There's a lot of hype about Chinese EVs, is any of it true?
The european auto industry is in jeopardy, because they still want to milk the ICE. Alternatives are treated as concepts or to circumvent fines.

stop50··on Your Rust Clippy Config Should Be Stricter
Thats what i implemented for myself. I made myself pre commit hooks for running clippy nightly and deploying my standard lints(clippy and non-clippy). Thanks to jq-lang and the jq-wrapper tomlq it can even work around the lints/workspace.lints difference with little problems.

For myself i have forbidden unwrap/expect, since this can lead to panics. For cases where an unwrap IS unavoidable, i use unsafe {unwrap_unchecked}. The unsafe is to make sure i can't overlook it.

stop50··on Is possible a language easy as py, fast as C, more secure than Rust?
1. You are mixing up the development process and the language. 2. C++ would be an horrible baseline for newcomers.

In my opinion Rust has at the moment an good chance to be an successor to c++. Traits and derive macros already reduce the boilerplate an dev has to do.

For example Debugging: - i want to export the default debugging information: #[derive(Debug)] - i have so items that should not be debugged: custom derive implementation for the type or the secret information

stop50··on Advice for tracking down a listening device?
Some routers can block internet access for new/specific devices. You could try to find the correct device by blocking them all and unblock them after finding and checking them. One possibility is that the stalker uses an old android. That would harder to detect, since its possible that the device is not connected via wifi.

stop50··on Ask HN: Has anyone reconsidered Antivirus software after recent security news?
