What kind of air quality monitor is being used here? I've been looking for a good one to purchase for myself, would be good to get one with N02 capability.
How did they stabilize this so fast? I feel like we first heard about this feature only a few months ago. Meanwhile I've been waiting for `let_chains` since what feels like the mid 90s...
This is interesting, you should re-do this analysis using the actual lists of 2000 valid words and 10,000 valid guesses, since it does fairly significantly change the math vs. a normal English dictionary (the word can almost never be plural, for example, dramatically reducing the frequency of S in the final position).
I also did this and also got AEROS/UNLIT (well, AROSE/UNTIL in my case). You've made the same minor error I did of looking at the frequency distribution of all guessable wordle words, not the smaller list of possible answers, which has a different frequency distribution. If you look at that you get ORATE/LYSIN as the best starting pair (based on frequency only, not considering position)
People never talk about the most important metric for interviews: your target rejection rate. Google and Facebook need to do these interviews because of the number of applicants they get. Any process they design must definitionally reject 99% of people who go through it, and they found it is essentially impossible to hit that kind of rejection rate with just 'tell me about your work' questions.
If your startup operates with a 50% or 75% target rejection rate, you absolutely can and should operate differently, and this could be an important competitive advantage for you.
This is interesting, but even a brief discussion of selection bias would help it be more convincing. If you pick the most wildly successful mutation out of the thousands of available choices of course it is going to be an outlier in numerous ways. Isn't it perhaps even likely that the most widespread variant would have a low number of silent mutations and strong immune-evasion capabilities?
I love using Rust, but I also get a bit annoyed by the hype. It's absolutely true, for example, that there are highly useful programming patterns that are extremely difficult to express without tools like garbage collection -- including many classical ideas from functional programming. But Rust users sometimes give you the impression that wanting to write any code which doesn't fit the specific shape the borrow checker expects is morally wrong.
I've lived in the Bay Area for 10 years now -- one thing you should be prepared for is that it can be a very 'transitory' place. The majority of people you will meet have plans to move back home in a few years, so it's harder to form long-term friendships. Not sure if this is a regional thing or if you'd get the same phenomenon in big cities like New York or London.
It's really interesting stuff, although realistically, the situations in which it matters how hard to pick a lock is are pretty rare -- the majority of situations where an evil actor is trying to bypass a lock are ones where they'd be willing to employ destructive techniques instead.
Somewhat unrelated, but is Rust `Arc` able to match the performance of Swift reference counting? I know they do a bunch of fancy tricks to embed the reference count into the pointer high bits, it seems like Rust would probably struggle to achieve that.
Has any ghost cell stuff gotten closer to production-ready in the last couple months? It seems like it's still pretty early on in its development lifecycle.
Mun is a subset of Rust syntax which supports hot-reloading, I think that could be a good direction to enable this sort of thing for the most frequently-changing business logic.
Being able to embed this inside a rust program for scripting/the ability to tweak behavior at runtime without recompiling could be really cool. Although my dream is still that someone makes an interpreted subset of Rust itself.
The greatest thing about books is that they are easier to read in bright sunlight. I wish we could crack that problem for computer screens, even really bright screens like the iPad essentially must be used in a very shady environment.
I've love to see this for open source, especially integrated into GitHub. A simple "click here to contribute" button could really lower the barrier to entry for first-timers.
I have been using Evoluent vertical mice for years, they have 3 buttons + scroll wheel. I find the vertical orientation more ergonomic as well, it keeps your wrist neutral.
Do you not think there is a difference between 'you should follow my religion' and e.g. 'you should use neutral pronouns to make other people more comfortable?' The later isn't about some fundamental belief, it's really just an extension of a concept that has existed for thousands of years -- politeness
This type of state is typically used for "interface state", e.g. "is this toggled open", "which menu item is selected", etc. It's definitely normal to combine that with a 'database' style model layer, as you say.
I'm not precisely sure this where the article's text contains a well-supported legal argument about why the mandate is unconstitutional -- in fact I don't believe there's any discussion at all of the relevant statutes & case law? A link to the decision itself would probably provide more of that information.
It's funny you say this, because I think everyone would actually agree that I have a strong First Amendment free speech right to tell you what to do with your body. Similarly, businesses and institutions have a First Amendment right (the right of association) to choose who they do business with.
Very nice! I think there could definitely be a market for a nice scripting language that natively integrates with Rust and doesn't require crazy huge compile times, the way Lua is used in game engines.
.chars() iterates over unicode scalar values, not actual grapheme clusters, so this code would also be incorrect in many circumstances. Ultimately it is incumbent on the developer to understand what their actual unicode-processing requirements are.
