Things like the EU-Linux petition and public money, public code are becoming evermore important. If you're European, sign the petition and share it. We are looking down the barrel of all US software being used to spy on us (if it isn't being done already).
People laugh and mock China while the same is bring implemented here. But they'll tell you "I have nothing to hide". I guess they have to be personally misjudged by AI to understand the privacy is indeed important.
Sadly, these are the mistakes humans have to make to understand. Whether they can remedy it is unknown as Pandora's box might already have been opened.
If you’re like many developers and you generally use println for debugging and rarely or never use an actual debugger, then this is wasted time.
I weep for the time lost on debugging with println. Good grief. It's like having access to a time stopping ability and going "nah, I like trying to add a marker and tracing footsteps".
Yes, for multi threaded workloads there aren't many options, but most are single threaded and eschewing a debugger is bonkers to me.
👏👏👏
Great response. You didn't just recommend your favourite but considered the requester's input, explained why options were filtered out, and narrowed it down to an option with a great description.
I hope OP agrees, but this is what'd be considered stellar customer service if OP were a customer.

I thought they were talking about something like 10%. Title seems overblown and just bait to get readers to read about something completely unrelated.
We definitely are far away from trusting robots to do that kind of stuff. I wouldn't even let it declare my taxes.
Is this article written by AI? It jumps all over the place and doesn't seem coherent.
Piracy isn't only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.
I bet this won't have an impact on memory safety and interop means C++ compilers have to be stricter about memory layout and reduce unspecified edge cases.
If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they'd have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.
The U.S destroying its own economy. Who could've asked for a better Christmas present? With Trump at the helm next year, it's only a question of time before trade partners tell the U.S to fuck off and they stop ignoring decisions like these.
I'm actually surprised there is no specification. It's how I thought languages were written: spec first, implementation later. Do RFCs serve this purpose?
That's pretty cool, but terrifying as well. Can't wait for somebody to go a step further and start writing proc macros (call it rusht) to replace bash scripts with rust scripts. Actually, now that I think about it, not so terrifying. They can probably be debugged better, could be safer (unless someone starts publishing malicious proc macros), allow dependencies to be added to compose better scripts without relying on they system's package manager, and so much more.
It has many upsides like every page being a markdown file, the interface is nice and easy to use, it supports embedding files images, videos, diagrams and PDFs, highlighting PDFs and referring to the highlights, saved searches (e.g all tasks about "life", pages about science and " forum responses", ...), and I'm probably forgetting a few. It even has a mobile app that's works quite well.
The downside however is that it's all in some functional language transpiled into JavaScript to run in electron. There's no CLI to take a directory and spit out HTML files to host your notes, "automation" means downloading and running the electron app, then interacting with an API that controls electron and simulates clicking. It's amongst the worst solutions I've seen for automation and I'm not sure why they built the application this way. And because it's an electron app, there are unnecessary difficulties on read-only system partitions / atomic operating systems. Finally, though opensource, they have a Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA).
My fear is that there will be a rugpull at some point in the future and I'll have to find an alternative solution, so right now I'm on the (passive) lookout for opensource alternatives with mobile apps. Found nothing yet and I don't want to start developing one myself (no time).

The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by
> Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

I've only found 2 in 1 / 2 monitors wide with aka 32:9. They call them "ultrawide" but IMO they should be called double wide monitors. Even the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, despite its size, is still just 32:9.

Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their "frame kernel" (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).
