I read this 3 times to try to figure out why you were living in the library for 10 years. It sparked Roofman vibes.

I can’t find the exit.

The license change is more than just concerning. This isn't the first time it happens, and won't be the last, without legal action.

Ah what a great little tutorial. Thanks for sharing that one.

It looks like rust async creates state machines similar to how Kotlin does it with so-called Continuations.

Yes I really think it should be better advertised!

The continuation model is the standard model of async programming and still perhaps the nicest semantically. Rust's big innovation is that futures are polled from the top, i.e. (potentially) advanced in an idempotent way whenever any of their relevant resources progresses, which is nicer for resource-conscious programming because it doesn't require that you capture the stack. It adds complexity over the continuation model from the programmer's point of view, but opens up async programming to a wider range of contexts in a way that is genuinely novel.

> I want to say upfront - we've never pursued these invoices

So those people who would feel guilty not paying are punished and those who prefer to try to cheat the system by skipping payment on invoices are systematically rewarded?

That's how business works!

Wow, some of these (probably all) are ridiculous. And trying them on different compilers just adds to the fun.

Love the tonuge in cheek writing here.

Hacker news needs a 'non-standard programming language subject tag'. Perhaps ":-J" as first line in comment?

This is pretty much exactly my gripes, too. Data centers are necessary, but why are we doing this all the wrong way?

The new Utah data center is building new gas pipelines to generate 9GW instead of requiring ANY percentage of green energy, while also giving massive tax breaks that the families living nearby and statewide will have to cover.

For actionable information on this specific project, see:

I keep seeing people all over the internet adding the caveat that the data centres are necessary in comments following stories about rollout (and often the stories themselves). But never why that's the case. So the question is why are more data centres necessary at the proposed rollout rates? What actually drives this demand?

Don't worry, upstate New York's got your back.

We see your gas pipelines and raise you 100 to 316 diesel generators in a generator farm, with "only 20 running at a time". Shitty Bitcoin mining company that didn't give us any jobs suddenly pivoting to AI.

Hot take: this is actual a symptom of power demand being too low, not too high. Bitcoin mining didn't draw enough energy to drive a real structural transition, so minors made up the gap with diesel. If NY had Virgina or Texas levels of datacenters, they could provide enough spend and power offtake to justify investments in nuclear.

Can you deploy a nuclear plant in 6 months, which is the time scale these facilities are looking for? You can do that with solar or diesel or natgas.

You don't subscribe to twenty five news outlets, what are you, a freeloader? /s

Beautiful. Twenty seconds per token is funny, but the only direction is up from here!

The title may be misleading. They are pausing giving out new tax breaks, not suspending previously granted breaks.

How is this a dupe? It's new information, and my take is that it's one of the least biased articles about the topic.
