The following comment is literally:

whitequark would be pretty well known to an old Rust team member such as matklad, having been one themself, so no, not anonymous…

But yeah, no one has named dtolnay outside of this thread. Now that the name has been dropped, let’s hold off for something more substantial before we take our pitchforks.

That’s actually a really good phish.

My mother could fall for that. My grandmother definitely would.

Boston Dynamics said that, and they have stuck to that commitment. IIRC it’s even in the contract when you buy a robot from them that you will not equip it with a weapon.

This article is about Ghost Robotics, which has never made such a commitment. They are known to supply gun-equipped robots to governments at all levels.

This is the first I’ve heard of Briar. It seems interesting, but I’m curious:

Why I should choose Briar over Matrix?

NYC supports this too

De facto, yes.

But Taiwan themselves have never formally declared independence.

Taiwan is not a member of the UN, for example, and they have not applied.

Fun Fact: Puffin chicks are called pufflings.

Another fun fact: Puffins are burrowing birds (“ground-nesting” birds). To protect the pufflings, momma puffins feed their young soo much that they get too fat to escape the burrow.

Final fun fact: Puffins are adorable.

I’m pretty sure North America is the only part of the world where automatic is the default.

I’m American and learned on a manual, which I drove for a decade and a half. But I’m one of the few people I know my age who can drive a stick.

Plenty of Boomers can drive stick though.

They talk about checking in generated files, but they also talk about using Bazel as the build system.

They’re holding it wrong.

Just define a BUILD target to generate the files. Don’t check them in. Any other target that depends on the generated files can depend on the target that generated them rather than depending on the files directly.

My guess is that they haven’t fully embraced Bazel, so there must be parts of the CI/CD that are not defined as Bazel targets that also need these files…

Damn. I was gonna get a Zenfone 10. I guess not anymore…

The embargo only covered EUV IIUC.

EUV is the tech that the latest Apple and Intel chips are using.

DUV is the older tech that China is buying.

ASML (Netherlands) and TSMC (Taiwan) may be the two most important companies in the global electronics supply chain.

China is certainly looking to bolster their own competition in this space. But that hasn’t happened yet. I’m sure the CCP is very concerned about this regulation. If they’re not, they should be.

Yeah, but what about the metric shit-ton?

But all those reposts on Reddit and Lemmy are still fair game…

Or maybe this one just has really big spots!
