I am really good at doing research, crisis solving, new projects, and finding heterodox solutions. I am really bad at doing basic maintenance of existing projects (that were completed before I joined). So if you need someone to do something new, or to be your go-to researcher or crisis solver, or to learn stuff and do something in a hurry, I can do it.
It depends on how you define "complicated." For example, Rust and C++ both have "move semantics," but Rust's is "A move is a memcpy, which the optimizer may or may not elide" and C++'s is http://stackoverflow.com/a/3109981/24817 rvalue references and copy/move constructors and all sorts of other things.

There are three major kinds of backgrounds that Rust programmers come from: functional, systems, scripting.

The functional crowd instantly groks Rust's pattern matching, first-class functions, and expression-based-ness. But they miss some more complex, stronger type system features.

The systems crowd instantly groks Rust's low-level features, but struggles sometimes with the compiler being so strict.

The scripting crowd instantly groks our tooling, and the functional-ish things, but struggles with the low-level.

So really, everyone has a different definition of what "complex" is, because it's based on what you're familiar with. Some people find map to be more complex than for, some people think the exact opposite.

All generalizations are false.
Man, that would be an expensive sub, made completely out of titanium. At $8/lb and 6000 tons (12 million pounds) you're talking about $100mm just in materials and that's before you do anything. Titanium is very difficult to weld due to oxygen embrittling the weld so you'd have to put everyone on rebreathers and assemble the whole hull inside a giant tent with a slight positive pressure of argon only. That's the kind of project that'll give people nightmares.

Coffee places usually give you cardboard sleeves where your palm goes, that help with insulation.

If your hand is big enough and the cup is light enough you can support bottom of it with your pinky and the top of it with your thumb while horizontally balancing it with the rest of your fingers, you have three-finger redundancy if your coffee is too hot.
The problem with the latter approach that little finger supports most of the weight of the cup and I can't hold more than a medium coffee.

No, it's definitely nowhere near C++-complicated: there's usually one way to do things, no legacy cruft. There's no multiple inheritance nor large type hierarchies. Things tend to "just work" (once you get the code to compile) instead of silently biting you (I haven't found any gotchas or footguns within the safe Rust yet).

It does seem strange, because:

- It has constructs which aren't present in C/C++ in the exact form, like traits or pattern matching (maybe it'd be easier if they were called templates and switch, but they're not quite the same thing, so a different name is good). There's a lot of Rust-specific jargon for things that aren't as complicated as they seem.

- Some constructs (e.g. enums and empty structs) look like C's, but again aren't quite the same.

- It has powerful generics and macros, so people who want to write really clever code, can.
Treasure | San Francisco & San Luis Obispo, CA | REMOTE OK

What gives you the impression that it's complicated? I can assure you that Rust contains an order of magnitude fewer features than C++, and none of C++'s edge cases or C's footguns.

Steel can be made in thin sections very well. Examples are car bodies, music wire, etc. In fact heat treating (in some respect) can be simpler in thin parts because it is easier to control the cooling rate of the whole part, rather than just the outer skin.
"I have no particular expertise in this area, but I've been making the "we don't know why people are fat" argument to whoever will listen for a while. Doctors (socially, not at an appointment FWIW), academics… I'm actually quite surprised how often they've been thinking along the same lines and/or they are convinced by the general idea."

May I present my broad theory ?

Americans, across a very broad swatch of behaviors, haven't broken away from the social norms and habits of living on a farm.

You (my fellow American) drive a big truck, eat "3 squares" a day, serve HUGE portions, don't specifically exercise and generally overequip and overfuel our entire lifestyle because we can't remember we're not on the farm anymore.

My father grew up on a farm, my wifes grandparents both grew up on a farm, and everyone in their lineage going back ... forever ... were living rural, agrarian, peasant lives. So depending on who you are in the United States, you are perhaps 1-2 generations removed from a radically different lifestyle.

It's going to take more than one generation to become well-practiced at being urban, and a pseudo-rural suburban environment coupled with a TV shouting "YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH TRUCK!@" is not helping ...
the whole other angle I see that grocery business is very low margin and whole foods enjoyed the high margin for organic.

Isn't async io pretty much mandatory to compete with the top platforms/frameworks now? I'm certain rust can compete with C++ on raw compute speed, but io is still going to bog it down. Are there any rust frameworks that are using mio yet?
I love this type of exploration and discovery. Sometimes it's the best way to find a diamond in the rough. Who knows? Maybe Rust is the best language for web services, it just needs a little more exploring. Any feedback in terms of RDMS that you can use today or NoSQL? How about reddis? Milliseconds and memory matter when you scale.
She was there for _years_, quitting a job is not impulsive and we are not salarymen.

You rarely get massive changes by talking to management (small changes, sure) and if you really hate your job, small changes are rarely enough.
That's a bad example. I'm sure the CoD developers generally think they're making some of the best games ever, and they have the sales figures and the plaudits to prove it. Gamers like to sneer at CoD, but I'm certain there's a lot of care and enthusiasm that goes into each iteration. It just gets sneered at harder than a lot of games, because it's perhaps overpopular for what it is.

The people making uber-cynical cash-milkers at Zynga or King, or those German shovelware job-simulator games with Microsoft-style trade dress are likely far more likely to fit your description than some blockbusting AAA bestseller like CoD.

Despite its four fundamental principles this framework does not read well and I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Class names with Ft or Bk or Rs or [add two letters] prefixes don't work for adoption and clarity of expression.
Maybe use ETag or a similar mechanism? This way we'll need to contact the server, but we save bandwidth that would be spent resending the resource, which is still faster than what we have.

Given something like this:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/....." integrity="sha384-R4/....." shared>

(where 'shared' invokes the caching mechanism)

The browser sends a request for it with If-None-Match: "sha384-R4/....." header set.

I think this solves 99% of the problem:

If the integrity tag doesn't match the ETag of the resource, the server interprets it as out-of-date cache and responds with content of that resource. If the integrity tag matches the ETag of the resource, it will respond with '304 Not Modified'.

And that's the remaining 1% of the attack surface: basically the attacker wins iff the site can be tricked into serving a resource with the same ETag as the hash of his payload. We don't need to worry about collisions: even if someone uses ETags that match the form of subresource integrity tags without intending to, the attacker would still need to generate a collision, which is just as hard as finding a collision with any other hash. But if there are servers out there that will serve files with externally-set ETags then they'd be exploitable.
What's the deal with Serde / rustc_serialize ? I've used serde mainly because I've seen mentioned a few times and saw a thread somewhere saying it was the successor of rustc_serialize.

>I think it's a little delusional to believe that if you just serve up the right ads people will tolerate it.

I get your point, but I think it's symptomatic of the rigidity with which we think about ads. I'm talking more about subtle product-placement than iFrames with promotional content. Things like "sponsorships", especially when discrete and upfront, tend to go over much better than ads.

>here are plenty of people whose attitude is "no ads", end of story.

And that's precisely why I think I'm right.

>Also you can't get better ads without learning more about each user. In other words profiling, which no one likes either.

True, but pragmatically speaking, there aren't any (effective) profiling-blockers. User profiling isn't exactly a nuisance either, insofar as it doesn't degrade the usability of a service.

Going after adblockers strikes me as fighting the symtoms, rather than the cause, and irritating the bulk of one's clients in the process.

Either way, your problem is that your content is replaceable and people don't want ads. How is blocking users an effective remedy?
Oh I see ! I actually did not consider this case. This requires indeed more reflection than I initially thought.

Edit: But if we only make the global cache work on the same domain, this problem should disapear completely (it's obviously not as powerfull then but still a massive improvement to the current system)

So its a crap shoot - your small group is very likely to be cheaper, 99% of the time. The only important thing is, can your group actually support a real medical emergency at full cost? That's the only reason to join the group after all.

When participating in a larger insurance group, these same costs are born solely by insurance premiums. But the costs are not the same - big insurance companies have negotiated lower prices across the board. Your group cannot.

I see p2p insurance as a total loss, because in time of need they cannot possibly pay.
