And hey, Google went with "Go" which is nearly impossible to SEO and it worked out.

Though they do have the benefit of being Google. A significantly smaller team might have had better success than the original Go!, but that's not saying much.
True, but this isn't the concern I was addressing.

And sometimes modifying is a desirable feature.
If you directly use low-level locking primitives, no. However, Rust provides many higher-level concurrency mechanisms that avoid the problem entirely. And typically, if you had some complex data structure with multiple levels of locks and ordering requirements on those locks to prevent deadlock, you'd want to encapsulate that data structure with methods that handle those locking requirements internally.
The problem isn't power, it's the behavior generated by rules of the system. Because agents only receive output proportional to the capital they possess, they are incentivized to accumulate capital and the system ends up optimizing for capital instead.

As the system progresses, agents get the choice between loosing their allocation or using it to accumulate capital. This is unfortunate since, theoretically, the whole point of capitalism is to maximize long term consumption.

In context Jobs was talking about a stylus as the only/primary input for the device, meaning you would be required to have a stylus to ever use the device. Of course that would be terrible.

This stylus is an optional accessory with a very specific use case. A fundamentally different thing.
At that size it is balancing close to the edge where computers live.

This one is a cheat because read does a lot of the work. I can tolerate treating STDIN/OUT as black boxes because they often are. The Scheme interpreter's functionality is what's custom. The read function is crucial to it. So, it's implementation should be included. That puts this way over 7 lines.

The good news is that I now know where the name Y Combinator comes from. I imagine it will take me a lot longer to wrap my head around that concept, though. Truly weird haha.
You should try it on your phone. Clearly responsive design is not yet design.

Personally I make it clear in website design conversations that design is not graphic design or anything to do with drawing pretty pictures in Photoshop. I then explain that design is in the information architecture used to specify the products, the etymology of how the information is structured and the customer interaction and that we need to get that up to back-of-napkin sketch before we need worry ourselves with artistic interpretations of social network buttons.

Maybe I go a bit far in not wanting people fiddling with graphic design, I talk of that as 'theming' or 'styling the frontend'.
In Servo, DOM nodes are Rust values managed entirely by the SpiderMonkey GC, and clever (and evolving) techniques are used to teach Rust to integrate reliably with SpiderMonkey. Rust has the flexibility (or will) to safely integrate external GC systems.

What do you want the CLI to do? It's pretty fundamental to the iOS model (and the Android one) that apps are isolated from each other, so you certainly could have a CLI app that does stuff (ssh, git, vi?) within its own home directory, but can't interact with the rest of the system.

In fact there are Android apps that do this. It's harder on iOS because you don't get fork(), but if someone wanted to try super hard, you could make all the apps run as threads within the same process.

If you want a root shell without jailbreaking, that's almost contradictory.

A 12" class tablet with a keyboard case is, I find (I use a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2), a very good reading platform (better than a laptop, since you can use it like a tablet without the keyboard getting in the way) as well as a decent laptop substitute for lots of uses.

Its not as good as a laptop for all uses -- and I still do use a laptop -- but its pretty much the sweet spot for me for tablets.

Well, its bigger and has a somewhat higher resolution screen, but, yeah, its basically the iOS version of that.

Which for people already invested in the Apple ecosystem is probably a big deal, even though Android and Windows each already had something in this class (Windows option being a bit more expensive normal price, but with a full desktop OS.)
one of the design goals of rust is to design the language in such a way that they're simply not possible. I thought it was a new FOTM language but after reading a bit more about it I'm very excited for its future.

Here is the definition of stylus.

Stylus
noun, plural styli [stahy-lahy] (Show IPA), styluses.

2) any of various pointed, pen-shaped instruments used in drawing, artwork, etc.

3) Computers. a pen-shaped device used on a display screen to input commands or handwritten text or drawings.

This a million times. Apple is just slowly re-inventing the Desktop OS (hey look multi-tasking, a keyboard, etc) while MS went full into a hybrid OS over all its lines that can adapt to whatever hardware its installed on. For all the grief MS got for Windows 8, the move it made was ultimately the right one and builds the proper foundation they need for the future. As side note, lets recall about three or four years ago that we were reading, and agreeing with, articles predicting the death of the MS, at the very least, if not WIMP computing in general. Now we're sitting here with Windows 10, Surface, etc. MS did what it needed to do to stop its fall into irrelevancy.

I can't imagine shelling out near a $1,000+ for this thing (lets price in the keyboard and other accessories) when I can get a proper Macbook or Surface Pro, both which are much more capable. I imagine this will become the next hot executive toy (I need my twitter and my exchange mail up at the same time, nerds!). It'll sell in predictable low numbers and then one day mysteriously disappear from the Apple webpage with no fanfare.

I feel Apple has painted itself in a corner here. It never bonded OSX and iOS and carefully made them separate products. This probably made sense 5-6 years ago, but unified devices are now practical and affordable. I suspect Apple has a unified OS ready to go soon and is just buying time with this "Pro" to seem competitive. I can't imagine the status quo lasting. What exactly does a mobile OS get me, especially when it needs hardware and RAM on the level of a desktop OS not too long ago? Trying to "keep it simple" is what got Nokia and Blackberry killed. I fear that this industry is destined to just re-invent the desktop, but with sexier devices, in the end.

I'm not one to underestimate Apple, but the past couple years have been underwhelming. Even their much hyped watch is a fairly milquetoast design with a poor value proposition. Or the mobile game has simply matured and there are no more big ideas in this space. Are we at the "gimmicks and minor refinements" stage of this technology?
"The reality distortion field is strong in this one." -- Ghost Steve Jobs.
I know this is petty, but every time I see an Apple demo and they are saying how many inches the screen is I think - wow that's a really uncool and old fashioned system of measures. If Apple can force standards - like Thunderbolt - how about using centimeters.
Edit: they can even say they invented the metric system - ok with me ;)
Bitcode can contain inline assembly still. Additionally, bitcode is significantly more tied to the target architecture than the author is assuming.

Ignoring the tooling, I don't feel it's fair to say that Wynne is "making the world a worse place". This quote in particular:

> Really the magic of BDD is in playing the game of, if we have to explain to the computer how to test the behavior that we want, we have to have figured out the behavior we want. By collaboratively doing that, by sitting down together and doing that we have to thrash out between those three groups what is it that we want so the tester and the developer and the business person are all on the same page about what is it actually going to mean for this story to be done. By the time they get to writing the code it’s a much more straight forward process. A lot of those potential bugs have been ironed out.

is incredibly important and often overlooked. It doesn't necessarily mean that a "non-developer" is writing an automated test, but that the engineering team, the QA team, and the business have discussed and reached an agreement over the acceptance tests. This implies that the test has been thought about, written, and understood by all parties including the business person which often is skipped in favor of "increasing turnaround time". Prototyping is fine if everyone agrees to it, but in a world where the expectation to ship software every sprint exists, you can't skip mutual understanding. That is a conversation and no tool is going to automate it away.

Eliminating deadlocks in general isn't possible in a Turing-complete language. What's cool about Rust is that it does statically eliminate a certain subset of race conditions known as data races. So while deadlocks are still possible in Rust, the typesystem is guaranteed to prevent concurrency errors that would result in corrupted data.
I assume the comparison is to environments like Coq, Agda, Isabelle/HOL, Idris, etc. But in most of those environments, there's still a distinction between the language itself and the proof assistant.

I would not be shocked if someone figured out a brilliant way to add dependent types to Rust 1.x within the next few years.
Just like the top of line products from any company. They fill a niche, and they're more about gaining a competitive edge than they are about generating tons of profit. You see one in a coffee shop, go to the store (instead of a competitor's) and see the price, and walk out with an Air 2.
> while not exploding in your face like C

not a fan of C++ but I personally think having to wade through the building blocks of C was an immensely valuable reverse turing test (ability of human to exhibit human-like behavior? apparently this term is already taken but you get my idea) and I bemoan the future where everyone is protected from their mistakes. How else did one build motivation to do it right? The gamble of a mistake is much more fun than of a compiler error.

> What are the technical reasons you can't guarantee an absence of leaks?

Well, 'leak' is one of those things that's easy for a programmer to understand, but a hard thing for a computer to understand, because it's really about intent. How long did you intend for some resource to live? Any global value is, in some sense, a leak. We had a long discussion about this, and, at least currently, we couldn't come up with a formal enough definition of 'leak' to even start tackling the problem of "how do we solve leaks." (It is entirely possible that I am unaware about research on this topic... but given that solving leaks wasn't a goal of Rust, fixing it would just be gravy anyway. You have to choose your battles, and Rust certainly isn't perfect.)

As for how safe Rust can leak:

let x = Box::new(5);
std::mem::forget(x);

which can itself just be implemented in safe code:

use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn forget<T>(val: T) {
struct Foo<T>(T, RefCell<Option<Rc<Foo<T>>>>);
let x = Rc::new(Foo(val, RefCell::new(None)));
*x.1.borrow_mut() = Some(x.clone());
}

or something like "I have a thread that is holding the receiving end of a channel that infinitely loops without reading anything off," in which case anything sent down that channel leaks.

Ask HN: Does anybody want to develop for Apple products anymore?
Every single keynote, we see products created by startups completely ripped off as now, being introduced as Apple inventions and complimentary products or apps to go along with their new iOS or new i-Device. Does anybody else feel disheartened and discouraged from part taking?
Not necessarily. It's more about range and use, but generally the yields are smaller. Some tactical nuclear weapons had yields larger than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Tactical nuclear weapons were generally on shorter range (rather than intercontinental) delivery systems and generally were tasked with taking out an objective, which may or may not be mobile, than fixed infrastructure or a population/industry/control center.
> but it fires shots across the bow of also increasingly popular Chromebooks which are around this price point.

The price point is more like (a little under) the at-release Surface Pro than popular Chromebooks (its a little cheaper than the Chromebook Pixel, but that's not really the big seller -- the popular models are at the low end.)

Both by form factor and price, this seems more to be competing more with the big "pro" tablets that the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (slightly cheaper) and the Surface Pro (3 was slightly more expensive at release, 4 probably will be too, 3 is slightly less expensive right now) than Chromebooks.
I guess he makes fun of a perceived special type of JavaScript developers: Those who were proud of their ultra-dynamic programming environment, laughing at all those poor C/C++/Java folks who have to run everything through a static, rigid, stiff compiler. And now we see them doing exactly the same things there were once laughing at: They run their code through some linter/static analyzer to catch bugs early, generating their CSS with a CSS-compiler like Sass, and running their JavaScript though a minifier.

Instead of a "change-test" loop now we (as JavaScript developers) have a "change-compile-test" loop, just like anyone else. It's just that we call it "build" or "minify" instead of "compile".

There's some irony in that, and I believe that's what he is mocking about in that dig.

Surely their value is too much to just turf them all in a landfill (err, I mean, responsibly recycled of course) when their service life is over. Some of them surely must end up on the refurbished server market...
