- I only read the paper (and the code in the paper) but not the complete source code, so maybe this would become clearer if I had, but...
Does Rust fundamentally guarantee that if you make a struct, its fields will lay out in memory in the order that you defined them? Can it be used to interact with APIs (really ABIs) who expect a C struct (or pointer to one)?
I think my main frustration with stuff like Go and Swift in this case is that their structs are not binary-compatible with C structs in this way because they rearrange things to be better aligned/packed/whatever.

Remote: Preferred
Willing to relocate: Under very specific circumstances
Technologies:
Native code, especially on Apple platforms (C/Obj-C/Swift).
Embedded inference (CoreML/MPS), including LLMs, and imaging (CoreVideo/Metal).
Less recently, device drivers (Windows & Linux) and embedded firmware (PIC/MIPS).

- Papers, Please is on Steam :)
- rstp-simple-server is fantastic, I use it for all kinds of stuff and appreciate how easy it is to deploy. More software should eschew having a million dependencies and focus on doing one thing WELL :)
- Have you succeeded at using quicat to do what this is doing?
- "Before Fariq can attempt to get back into the cockpit, Zaharie reaches up and flips the pressurization switch, cutting off bleed air to the cabin. The airplane rapidly begins to depressurize."
I really want to believe that a single switch doesn't control whether people in the back of the plane can breather or not...
- On MBTA police scanner I hear hipsanic, possibly wearing a cowboy hat, with blood on him
- Some friends of mine have actually made a business out of this over at http://testloft.com
From what I understand the phone won't stop ringing so clearly there is strong demand for something like this out there.
- Off topic, but...
Luxury car rental company? Please tell me more (like do you have a website??)
I ask because I know of a couple of luxury car rental companies, but there is one ore more things about each of them that make them exceedingly unpleasant to deal with. I would be interested to try doing business with a luxury car rental company that is run by people who also read HN - seems to be a good signal for not-totally-fucked-up business practices.
- Can they now?
http://www.apple.com/displays/ still says that only MBP and iMac can do it.
- I have lived there in the past. Now prefer the much-maligned suburbs (specifically, Mountain View).
Uber and Lyft and self-driving cars will shortly solve drinking and driving and then my final complaint about the suburbs will be gone.
- San Francisco is charming, yet now grossly-expensive.
Except it's not charming at all... it's much colder than the rest of California (it honestly feels like a different planet), MUNI absolutely sucks compared to any transit system in the civilized world (NYC/Europe/parts of Asia), and the homeless problem is the worst I've seen in any major urban center.
San Francisco has a long way to go before I'd consider it a world-class city.
- This is of great interest to me because I've always wanted to run this...

On one of these:

Designing live performance environments in Max is awesome, but laptops just are not designed for the rigors of the road. They are delicate creatures that stand in awkwardly, at best, for musical instruments. Max running on the Receptor would be incredible, and hopefully not too challenging considering the environment is largely self-contained with very few external dependencies.

- Will do! I used to be pretty active in the sound scene (mostly live/acoustic recording) in the Bay but have been away for a couple years. I'm looking forward to returning and getting back into it. :)
- A better question is, why don't some of the reasons that it's so great to work for Heroku symbiotically trickle up to the behemoth parent company?
- Do you have any advice for someone looking to get involved (as an actor and/or a sound guy) with the Bay Area indie film scene? I was on a local mailing list for a couple years called "Low/No Budget films" or something but it seems to have fizzled.
Remote: Strongly preferred
Willing to relocate: Happy to occasionally visit an office somewhere in the world
