    Yes, if anything the issue is that the House was capped in seats in 1929 and the population has tripled. Smaller states have an outsized representation in Congress currently.

    The contradiction he's pointing out is that they often speak out against so-called "illegals", but as you've documented they enjoy it when business reap the benefits of undocumente…

    The excessive amount of emdashes does seem to imply it's LLM slop ragebait. The prompt probably included "make intentional mistakes in your arguments to drive engagement" or someth…

    I haven't downloaded your model but https://www.i-solids.com/ (US-based, FDM and MJF) and https://www.weerg.com/ (Italy, mostly MJF ) will both do instant quotes and you might get …

    Thanks! Feel free to file an issue if there's something missing from the library or the daemon.

    Related self-promotion: I built pgtemp ( https://github.com/boustrophedon/pgtemp ) to automate doing exactly these mkdir/initdb/load/destroy steps.

    I made https://github.com/boustrophedon/pgtemp to solve this for myself

    Thanks for writing the blogpost! I think it's perfectly valid as a fun demonstration of the utility of the wayback machine.

    The `parse_program` function is public inside the `bc_util::parser` module, and the parser module is marked public inside `bc_util`, but in the `calc/src/bc.rs` file the `bc_util` …

    There are several sites with instant quotes that are cheaper than Shapeways. PCBWay and JLCPCB both offer similarly-priced very cheap 3d printing and CNC services out of China. Wee…

    I'm not sure if it's related, but I have the git branch in my PS1 and I've noticed that it's much slower to show a new prompt when inside very large repositories now, and I don't t…

    Linux has seccomp and landlock, which are basically harder-to-use versions of pledge/unveil.

    Since the author mentioned rewriting it in Rust, I recently added support to my library extrasafe that allows you to sandbox your own code: https://harrystern.net/extrasafe-user-na…

    I made a Rust library and cli tool that starts a clean postgres instance for each test. The daemon version transparently proxies your connection to a new postgres server every time…

    I think the biggest underlying difference is that Rust does not have a language runtime, whereas the other three you've listed do. Since the language runtime can preempt your code …

    Without specifying a particular representation[0] on the struct you want to put in "permanent memory", this seems liable to break any time you recompile the code with different opt…

    There are a lot of companies that make electronics enclosures. Some of them are waterproof. Usually they have a couple pre-drilled mounting flanges to screw in the board as well, a…

    Show HN: Extrasafe – use seccomp and Landlock to make your Rust code extra safe

    Hi HN, I just released a new version of extrasafe, a library I've been working on that makes it easy to use seccomp, in a way similar to OpenBSD's pledge. Seccomp lets you deny the…

    Non-root can use seccomp-bpf. Chrome already does.

    Thanks for the detailed markup! I'm going to take a look at the code tomorrow and see if there's some obvious mistake I've made with the highs/lows. I do remember doing some filter…

    The vendor toolkit is in C, so often you'll see for newer boards that Arduino/CircuitPython/etc don't support it yet because they have to build their own wrappers. Rust lets you us…

    Thanks for the explanation! I didn't know it was possible to turn off the crystal at all. Maybe I'll splurge for a CurrentRanger as well. I'm definitely on board with changing batt…
