IIRC, the point was actually that they were un documented in many cases, and that the Rust developers were willing to take on a lot of work, but they would need help with understanding all of the hidden and implicit "rules", but

Ted was being an asshole, nobody was asking him to learn Rust, he completely misinterpreted the point being made and then proceeded to go on an angry rant for like 5 minutes in the middle of a presentation which just is kind of disrespectfu

Several of those initially claimed to be civilians were later acknowledged by Hezbollah, so that number is still a bit fuzzy.

Fair enough, 12 total only includes the original pager attack, not the subsequent radio one. However, you seem to have made the same mistake. 42 people were killed total, but that does not mean that there were 42 targets. In any case, if H

When Ukraine assassinates a Russian general with a car bomb, is that "terrorism" or is that just a targeted killing of a military leader during a war? Do you think this is somehow morally problematic beyond the typical standards

We literally have videos of these going off in public spaces. The explosions were weak enough that people literally inches away were unharmed. The only way to be seriously injured is to be holding it in your hands or against your body. You

A pager is not a phone. Pagers and portable radios are not multi-purpose devices. You can't watch Frozen on a pager.

"The reports" are that 12 were killed total, not that 12 civilians were killed. Only 2 of the killed were civilians as far as I can tell. Several of those who people on Twitter tried to claim were civilians, including a doctor, w

Targeted attacks against military/militia leadership is not terrorism - almost by definition. If it was just random devices exploding, then sure, that could be considered terrorism. But it wasn't random devices, it was communicat

The Linux kernel has been using stable versions of Rust for some time now. You do not need nightly or beta Rust compilers to compile the kernel. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Patches-Multiple-Rust-Ve...

This is the 2nd throwaway account spamming this link, and we're supposed to see this as evidence of the Rust community acting poorly?

By most accounts the Rust4Linux project has made the kernel less complex by forcing some technical debt to be addressed and bad APIs to be improved.

What? The very distance involved and difficulty of such an invasion is precisely why resistance is extremely plausible and not being able to do so is indefensible. Even a "token" amount of resistance makes it exponentially more di

There are legitimate practical issues with Ireland not being capable of policing its airspace or marine borders that don't go away just because Ireland is good at diplomacy (an assertion which I question in the first place).

Regulation changes are pretty common (they happen every couple of years, 2014, 2017, 2022, 2026 etc.) and basically yes they do serve to intentionally shake things up. Regulation changes are not typically as large as this though - this is d

The Gen4 Formula E cars should be interesting. Much more capable.

by dralley 10mo ago
The failure of Formula E is that they don't have F1TV or some similar convenient streaming platform, and they leaned too hard into gimmicks.

The "kids" are on average a lot better at driving than most of the "adults" of 30 years ago. Pay drivers barely exist anymore, and even e.g. Stroll is not bad compared to the pay drivers of decades past, who were genuine

Every engine supplier has their own fuel supplier contract so the fuels won't be completely identical.

Ironically, a lot of this is only relevant until... this Sunday. After Sunday, the F1 season is over, and 2026 cars will be very different. 2026 cars will have less downforce and less drag (closer to Indycar) but also "active" aer

AMD has an ARM chip in the works, and there's nothing about RDNA which makes it unsuitable for use alongside ARM.

I mean the performance of the game otherwise is pretty decent. Frankly better than average.

With all due respect, this is a completely HN-brained take. No significant number of users chooses their browser based on support for image codecs . Especially not when no relevant website will ever use them until Safari and Chrome support
