Because of our historical strength. If we drive people away, that just makes room for other contenders. How is that smart?

If we’d fix the green card caps so that Indian workers could get green cards we wouldn’t see as much abuse. The system is broken, so you’re suggesting break it further? The US benefits from a lot of smart immigrants, we should be making it EASIER, not harder, to attract and retain the best talent from all over the world. The United States is ceding its leadership here and we’re going to pay for that for generations.

It's back up now, sorry about that!

We haven't worked on C++ yet. Templates are the big issue, as a sibling comment speculates.

We didn’t benchmark this project (yet) but previous c2rust translations had approximately equal performance to the original. This is to be expected since the transpiled output is unsafe Rust that is equivalent to the original C code. One caveat is checked va unchecked array indexing, but unless an array indexing operation into a statically sized array is hot _and_ the Rust compiler can’t elide the checks, that’s unlikely to make much of a difference.

I love Blink, it’s perfect for a remote emacs session. I use esc for alt, capture CTRL-space. You may have to rebind some control sequences, I don’t have that handy, but almost everything gets passed through. Only thing I can think of that doesn’t is F key sequences, and that’s probably for lack of trying.

Edit: this is with an external keyboard. YMMV with the on screen keyboard, but I haven’t noticed any issues the few times I’ve done quick edits with it.

I believe they also want to support iOS which requires a BTLE token, not NFC which will work on Android devices.

I'm very disappointed in this change. Having communication centralized in one place is important to me, and this means I cannot centralize on open, federated protocols.

There are often privileges and perks associated with being a patron of a certain creator. These perks aren't pro-rated, thus subscribing late in the month for a day or two might be a viable way to cheat this system. Personally, I don't think this is a huge deal, and, if this is their reasoning, it's a mistake.

You assume that tuition is actually an "in kind" benefit. Most of that tuition money is not an in kind benefit at all. Rather, it is a way for the university to siphon off overhead from grant money. If you think of graduate students as apprentice workers, which is far closer to the truth than students, then taxing overhead costs is a ridiculous idea. We don't tax business expenses, why would we tax educational institution business expenses?

Why not rent a car when you want to go on trips outside of urban areas? Seems far cheaper if you can actually get away without a care in the city.

We have two of these prints up in our office. I highly recommend them, even if just as decoration.
