Sweet summer child.

You could but it’s no longer in vogue. Try Elixir instead.

The court press release said she was sentenced to “45 days to 23 months” and the linked news article garbled that to “23 months and 45 days” which they somehow added up to “nearly 2 years”. No idea why the sentence itself has such a wide range.

It’s fine, if it’s state charges instead of federal then Trump can’t pardon him.

I’m surprised if the boycott is having any effect since I’ve hardly heard anything about it since it started. Target around here is somewhat useful though I haven’t gone there since pre-boycott. Also when I’ve gone, I’ve often taken parking lot delivery, which might not count as foot traffic.

What is Godot and why does this yet another format exist?

Stoli USA, which distills vodka and other spirits, on Nov. 27, 2024, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after financial distress led to a default on $78 million in secured debt owed to Fifth Third Bank NA

Dems were hoping that anti Trump backlash would flip those seats. Oops.

With very large SSD systems, these high throughputs mostly come from parallel chip accesses and transfers. Very low latency is more interesting. I’d like to see the numbers at queue depth 1 instead of 512.

Nice I guess, it adds 4g to the older T-deck. I guess with a SIP client app you could use it as a voice phone. The processor is an ESP32-S3 which has wifi and BLE though the Lilygo article doesn’t mention either of those. I almost bought a used T-deck last year but figured it was another thing I didn’t have a real use for.

I’d like to see a receive-only POCSAG pager built into a thing like this. I don’t know to what extent 1-way pager services still exist in the US, but the idea is that it’s a system that sends text messages in the SCA subcarrier of FM broadcast radio stations or sometimes other classes of transmitter. It has mostly been displaced now by cellular phones, but some people like doctors on call still use it, as it is supposed to be more reliable, plus the FM signal penetrates buildings better than cell signals do.

For me though, the main idea is privacy. It is receive-only, so there is no always-on connection sending your location anywhere. People can send you a text and if you’re in the coverage area of the FM station, you receive it and can call the person back (in the old days, by finding a landline phone) or whatever. Some of the more expensive plans had regional or nationwide coverage, by broadcasting the message on a whole network of FM stations.

POCSAG itself is a digital protocol for which many software implementations exist, and it doesn’t look too hard to write one. So the main challenge is having an RF receiver in the T-deck that gets a frequency where there is a pager service operating in your area.

I don’t understand the attraction of small slow epaper displays. I’m fine with regular displays in a thing this size. I’d like to have a 13+ inch epaper tablet but no FOSS ones exist right now afaik.

Python sqlite3 module for the metadata and it has some features now for full text search that can probably handle a few thousand stories. For a bigger collection like ao3, try solr.apache.org or elastic search etc.

Government secure phones are special hardware made by the NSA. They are nothing like civilian phones. Obama got the NSA to lock down his Blackberry but I doubt that is doable with today’s mainstream smartphones.

Military gear generally has tons of anti-moron safeguards. Unfortunately, Signal is for civilians.

Oh this is about software architecture. Looked like spam that had nothing to do with programming.

Multifunction copier printer scanners are usually consumer crap. The good stuff is generally single function. Monochrome is more of a solved problem than color, I think.

I’m surprised they aren’t making the same demands of the relevant TLDs. Or are they trying that and failing? If yes, why would they have better chances with Google?

It’s a type of figure of speech, called a metonym.

I don’t see anything in the std::collections doc relevant to this question. Yes I knew about the presence of doubly linked lists in that library. Obviously you could implement the DOM structure unsafely with C-style pointers but then what are you getting from using Rust instead of C? So I hoped to hear how to do it safely, maybe using a library object as a building block. But, I don’t think the stuff in std::collections suffice for the purpose.

Rust safety isn’t necessarily built on unsafety, though apparently it is in the case of doubly linked lists. I think singly linked lists can be made safely in Rust, similar to using C++ std::unique_ptr. It’s possible, though very complicated, to eliminate all the unsafety everywhere. Rust doesn’t attempt this, but (for example) ATS does (ats-lang.org).

Anyway your scolding is unhelpful. If you’ve got a usable and clear answer to my question I’d be happy to try to digest it. Otherwise I don’t see any point in continuing to respond.

This again?

Thanks, that’s reasonable to say, much more reasonable than “Rust is the one true language that is right for everything”. No idea about long term careers in anything related to programming, because of AI displacing every sort of knowledge work. But Rust will probably stay relevant for a while.

Certainly, the concept of building a career around a programming language has always been unsound. Good programmers know lots of languages and can pick up new ones as the need arises.

If you want to study one language as a means of absorbing new ideas, I’d suggest Haskell rather than Rust. You probably won’t get to use it at work directly, but it will make you a better programmer in general. learnyouahaskell.com is a good place to start.

The stuff here is way more professionally important than being good at Rust or any other language: https://antirez.com/news/112
