They've been around since the early days of the internet, slightly younger than the Darwin awards. You're one of today's lucky 10,000. :)

The high bit is generally used to indicate humour.

It's been quite effective. After a few months off Twitter, I only really go back for a peek at the schadenfreude every week or so, and only for a few minutes.

Your snarky reply is not appreciated. I specifically said "cut my social media addiction" not "cut out social media". While Hacker News is a great time sink full of wonderful people, I don't spend nearly as much tim

Elon Musk plus the terribleness of Facebook helped me cut my social media addiction. I wouldn't say I'm happier with or without it, but I don't think it was a positive other than the handful of friends I made there that I wou

This is wild. It used to take hours to download this game's deno, and now I can fire it up in a webpage.

I love remarkable, and I wish they would focus on features like this rather than the subscription that I don't ever plan on paying for.

Awesome project. You should edit the title with a "Show HN" prefix!

You're right. I misread that code and edited the parent post.

I suspect this move is partly to light a fire and force the Rust project to work on this sooner rather than later. We've needed this for years.

Oh wow. I'd be very interested in hearing how they sandbox rust-analyzer. I found a discussion of supporting the analyzer itself by generating config files [1][2], but not how you can sandbox it. That would be extremely useful as the a

This is an extremely depressing statistic to read. I hope that it's something we can modify culturally rather than being a hard-wired part of our brains.

The module-level init seems like a great idea. I have been pondering how to get something like this right.

EDIT: I'm wrong, it's not watt -- just shared the same package name.

> The biggest orgs tend to run all of their builds sandboxed, including what happens with build.rs. It's part of how they enforce dependency management day to day, but also helps protect against supply chain attacks. Sandboxing does

> Mixing binaries with source code means the whole package is not FOSS anymore. This is completely untrue and a bad-faith argument. The source is right there for the binary. It's still FOSS.

by mmastrac 3y ago
Yeah, there are already binaries in the crates.io ecosystem, and I'm certain that almost none of these people have audited a `build.rs` file or a proc macro implementation which effectively runs as you, completely unsandboxed. EDIT: I

I built https://github.com/mmastrac/keepcalm/ to specifically give "permission" to use ref-counting to make your life easier. For a webserver, references don't make any sense and really don't a

You're acting like the infrastructure for reproducible builds can't be built in Rust and then added in to tools like `cargo vet`. There are lots of options here, including having the proc macro wasm files built on crates.io. There

If you find malware in any package he publishes I'll bring out the pitchforks but this drama is all pretty much all hysteria at this point. Calling his contributions leftpad is pretty rude, considering the massive difference between co

dtolnay is not random by far -- he's one of the most influential crate authors in the ecosystem. If anyone is trustworthy enough to pull a stunt like this, it's him. I would challenge you to find more than a half dozen crate autho

This is a pretty solid way to motivate the Rust core team to finally solve the proc macro issue. We've been living with the slowness for so long. Give us wasm and precompiled, sandboxed binaries from crates.io! I suspect dtolnay is tra

You're misrepresenting the parent comment's viewpoint as a binary choice. There is a massive spectrum between shareholder-value-above-all and the "communism boogeyman".

I don't think you can or should blame willpower here. If the carrying capacity of an environment is finite and you overwhelm it, you blame the stressor, not the capacity. I agree that the industry is too good at setting the narrative a

While Europe is not immune (and obesity is rising), I suspect the EU will have a much more pro-active attitude towards stemming the rise. It's hard to find data, but America had an early, meteoric rise in obesity starting in the 90s (a

They say correlation does not imply causation, but have you noticed how often sentences with the word "correlation" also have the word "causation"?
