Maybe it could be due to being different countries?

I was talking about Mexico in this case.

I'm not saying there aren't shitty private schools in Mexico. There are a lot of everything. You can find some of the best high schools and colleges from the public side, as well as from the private.

But in general I found that here most private schools had at least nicer infrastructure. Maybe teachers were a mixed bag since you can also have old school catholic/religious institutions that would have really retrograde teachers, but again, at least in the infrastructure side money did seem to buy much better things.

That might also have to do with the fact that taxes in Mexico are not prioritized for education and so most public schools are really lacking in pretty much everything. Students and teachers basically put a significant part of the expense in school materials as well as things like paint for the buildings, repairing broken bathrooms, etc. It's a really dire situation that gets worse every day.

Under this context then, a private institution that can raise a significant amount of money from parents, will usually manage to make a very big difference.

We are talking about the difference between having a public college where most bathrooms were non functional, had no toiler paper or soap (so pretty much only running water if that) vs a private college where there is a Starbucks inside campus and other such amenities (like fully functional bathrooms and plenty of them, etc). Same thing for labs and of course the students capacity to buy newer (or even any kind) of laptops, etc.

Same thing for high schools where there is no space to play sports vs having a fully stocked gymnasium with a soccer field, showers, etc.

I guess that was my view at least.
The idea is to pick a standard that people can use as a default, which becomes the "familiar Rust standard". It's mostly for folks who _don't_ care much about formatting nuances.

If you do have a style you prefer, you can always configure your rustfmt to follow that style.
If you used "defense of mass incarceration" in the spirit of the HN guidelines, i.e. because you thought it would make for an accurate and neutral title, then we definitely misread your intention and I'm sorry.

But I still think that title was a mistake. "Mass incarceration" has become a pejorative that signals a certain position (or cluster of positions) on this controversial issue, so saying "defends mass incarceration" comes across as a provocative critique, a la "defends wife-beating". For a really neutral title, maybe "FBI director's speech defending current prison policy" or some such would have worked—assuming that's what the speech actually is.

Certainly the title we hastily gave it wasn't great, except as a cooler-offer. It's actually rare for an article to be quite so unhelpful at indicating what a good title for itself might be.

There's a standing invitation, btw, for any HN user to suggest a better title if they don't like the one that's up there. When people do, we often use them.
Clippy running on stable is quite far off. We've had discussions about stabilizing plugins, but it's not happening soon.

You mean as the article explicitly points out with "Mozilla's one million downloads mistake"? I'm not sure how that could be considered amusing.
By the way, for anyone who's interested, Hemingway was not only a syntactic minimalist (i.e. using simple language) but also a semantic minimalist -- he chose to leave things out of his stories, which he likened to icebergs, where only the top is visible, but whose bulk can be inferred if the writer has done his job properly -- this is his so-called "Iceberg Theory" of writing [0]:

In 1923, Hemingway conceived of the idea of a new theory of writing after finishing his short story "Out of Season". In A Moveable Feast, his posthumously published memoirs about his years as a young writer in Paris, he explains: "I omitted the real end [of "Out of Season"] which was that the old man hanged himself. This was omitted on my new theory that you could omit anything ... and the omitted part would strengthen the story." In chapter sixteen of Death in the Afternoon he compares his theory about writing to an iceberg.

Somehow you managed to miss the point entirely. The point is not "use bad grammar, slang, and swear words." It's just "don't put on airs!" That's it! Not putting on airs means: don't use jargon if the meaning of your sentence doesn't call for it, and don't use awkward turns of phrase to make yourself sound smarter. That's easier said than done, but it goes a long way toward making your writing easy to understand.

The idea to use a convnet to reframe the selfie is neat. Makes it 5% better. Also, if it can be run on the phone, it could possible warn people they are about to post a shitty selfie before they do.
Still a while to go. We've got some ideas, but nothing concrete yet, and it's hard to do in a backwards compatible form. And even if it stabilizes, there's no guarantee that things like clippy will be able to use it since clippy relies on a _lot_ of internals.

If you want to use a plugin like clippy, I'd suggest you make it an optional dependency (see the README) and do `cargo build --features=clippy` on nightly on your CI.
It's not a question of your comment alone but of the whole subthread. Surprising digressions are often ok on HN, but predictable digressions are tedious and not in the spirit of the site. They are non-intellectual-curiosity-gratifying. Of these, predictable ideological digressions are certainly the worst and usually go downhill the fastest. All this holds regardless of the view being advocated.
Nobody seems to have yet picked up on tls 1.0 becoming obsolete next June for PCI purposes - about 20% of Web users can't do better without an OS upgrade - IE on xp, older android, etc. We've been measuring this for about a year and it was 24% this time last year.

Can't see that percentage dropping all that much before then, and clients won't be blaming users' poor practices or the pci council - it'll be the fault of Web developers, everywhere.

> focus group testing for computer voices tends to result in female voices being chosen

I personally prefer the Alex voice from Mac OS to female voices. It has nice intonation. If only I could make it correct some of the mistakes it makes, for example not being able to distinguish "read" in past tense from "read" in present tense which makes it sound silly. Another error it makes is confusing "live" as in "live concert" with "live" as in "live in USA" (they are called heteronyms and are a special case in TTS).
I've found that bookmarking helps relieve my insatiable appetite to Read All The Things. I used to add CDs to an Amazon wishlist to give myself a "cooling off" period before purchasing. This was before decent legal streaming services. It cut my music spending significantly.

I've noticed that I very rarely read articles I bookmarked for later reading. But the subsiding of my compulsion to read them is relieving, so i consider it a benefit.

This off-loading of tasks from (neural) memory to (electronic) notes is equivalently beneficial in other situations. Anyone who finds minor anxieties and tasks keeping them awake at night: write them down. It can help you switch off and sleep.

Not just the social judgment, but also the judgment of your own conscience.

Whether it's rational or not, I'm going to spend less time awake at night for the rest of my life worrying about the multiple people I allowed to get run over by a train than I'm gonna spend worrying about the one person I actively caused to get run over by a train.

Come to think of it, I suppose that heavily discounting the possibility of future regret is also something that drunk people tend to do.

I think that, like, um, when you... when you write things like, uh, you know, fantasy novels or, uhhh.. things that are literature, that you should probably ignore this advice.

On the other hand, if you're writing nonfiction, with the goal of conveying information effectively, then this is probably good advice.
You may have a point, but luckily there is a self-correcting mechanism in place: writing takes time and a little effort, and will compete with other activities (including fun).

I suspect that if you do something like that you soon develop a filter mechanism so that you really write only things that deserve a little effort, and the rest remains "in your head", so to speak.

Qi is neither necessary nor sufficient to explain or describe any physical, emotional, cognitive, social or "spiritual" phenomena. It is certainly not emergent (nor is software). To paraphrase Dawkins, you already don't believe in homunculi, aether, or many other previous attempts to explain our experience of being ourselves. Qi is just another thing to not believe, try it.

Some would rather nitpick this interview than see the good in it. This is disappointing considering it covers practical and useful topics.

- Ted's progression from first time user to contributor. Start with small diffs in an area you're interested in, and build up if you can.

- Re-factoring programs with a strong emphasis on maintenance and security. Technical debt is real, and you certainly don't want it in an OS.

- Balancing more menial tasks (maintenance to the existing platform) with interesting additions (new security techniques).

The peace of mind from knowing an upgrade won't break or fail, and that security is taken seriously is refreshing. Give OpenBSD a shot, read some of the source or man 9 style (it's more informative than HN arguments).
I don't want an hourly wage. I want a salary. Punching time cards is a shit lifestyle that I don't want to go back to.

By the way, over the weekend I started prototyping and implementing a proof of concept library for secure communication between IoT devices:

http://stringphone.readthedocs.org/

It allows devices to securely encrypt the messages they send to each other, and also to verify that the device sending the messages is who it says it is. That way, your garage door knows unambiguously that it was your phone that told it to open.

If someone would like to contribute some feedback, I would be grateful.

Not surprised. But not hugely important in the scheme of things. The fact that the project exists and is being worked on seems a win to me given public transit history in the USA.
Yes, I was being a bit flip. But only a bit. We strive to be a company where engineering drives our priorities. While, a long, long time ago, I wrote a tiny bit of the code that became CloudFlare, there's no way I'd be trusted to do that today. There are engineers on our team whose salaries are far higher than mine. And, in this case, while I've been briefed on what we're doing, I don't feel comfortable enough with the details to comment on them. Thankfully, the people who are should be getting to work in London soon and I've asked that they watch this thread.

PS - I have no problem sharing the complete "secret sauce" as the biggest risk here to us is not competition but that CAs after December 31, 2015 won't be allowed to issue SHA1 certificates anymore. The more organizations that can responsibly support SHA1 fallback, regardless of whether they're CloudFlare customers, the more likely it is we can convince the CA/B forum to allow the extension of the issuance of SHA1 certs to responsible parties.

F1 is actually my worse enemy, too close to F2 for my fat fingers.

The offline help is fine for Excel functions. But where I work, 90% of the functions used are coming from addins, and even though they also have a documentation somewhere, it can't be reached with F1.

Documentation is necessary but hints should be inline/contextual, like intellisense in visual studio. I don't want to have to leave what I am doing just to figure out which is the next argument in a function.

Excel could use a powerful autocomplete like intellisense that gives you basic documentation inside the auto-complete.

But Office is the "sleeping beauty" of Microsoft. A bit of an old and hairy beauty though.
Booby-trapping undersea data cables is a new one. (Note that this is different from the usual cable-tapping. The implication is not monitoring, but service disruption.)

Not sure that the U.S. or any of its partners can do much about it, though. Increase launch capacity and cable-laying speed.

It might be worth it to lay some secret, dark fiber, but beats me how you get away with doing that without the Russians finding out.

If true, the Russians are clearly exploring new territory here. It's increasingly obvious that there is a low-level cyberwar well underway between the Russians, Chinese, and United States (and their proxies). I think the Chinese would be happy to keep the game at just under the kinetic level, but the Russians seem hell-bent on seeing how far they can push things -- probably because of how terribly things are going at home.

One thing is for certain: there will be a counter to this. Lots of tech available like microwave repeaters, blimps, LEO sats, and so on. While I couldn't care less about the tit-for-tat involved, at some point the Russians are going to find a spot that hurts. This will not be a good thing for folks who want a stable world.

In my experience, the most common meaning of 'semantic' is 'non-presentational'. For example:

<font color="#ff0000">hello, world</font>

is non-semantic because it's referring purely to presentation, rather than meaning. I'm not just being obtuse, this is a real-world requirement since our editors need to be able to mark things up according to meaning, but not randomly screw around with our design. I admit there's a blurry line, exemplified by the W3C's redefinition of the 'b' element.

So, were I to seek examples of such "thoroughly modern C code" in order to educate myself, do you have some suggestions where to look?

In particular, would you recommend to do string handling with some string library (e.g. glib has one?), or just use the mem*() functions and manually keep track of the lengths, or what?

0.2%. Don't know if locking them out is really a problem.
If anyone is considering working on an OS in Rust, they could perhaps consider writing a small hypervisor that could replace Xen, Nova and similar hypervisors.

This provides the same low-level challenges of writing a kernel, but it's far easier to get practically usable software than attempting to replace Linux and would actually be useful in practice.

At the moment, the only way to make a sandbox that has a chance of being perfectly secure (i.e. no security holes, ever) while still running all kinds of useful software is to use VMs to sandbox Linux/Windows kernels, and here the hypervisor is of course the weak point, and current usable hypervisors are written in C or C++.
I use bookmarks for the opposite reason: it's for stuff I've read that I might need to lookup later (a new tool to try out, a reference guide, an interesting article to share, etc). For the read-it-later pages, I just keep open tabs (which Firefox syncs across my devices).

That said, I don't use a separate service, just the browser bookmarks.
"Only" a few hundred megabyte is "really a lot" in many situations.
Agreed, it seems a really poor example used to make a fair point. I've never spoken to Neil Oliver personally, but on TV programmes he presents (Coast, etc.) he certainly uses flowery, poetic language. I don't think it's an act, it seems to come naturally to him, and it doesn't even clash with the presenters of other segments using a much more conversational tone.

Building more trains and other fixed-location transit systems that will be finished right around the time autonomous road vehicles start to become viable seems like a bad idea.

Public transit planners need to get a clue, seriously. The cars of 2050 are not going to be their father's Oldsmobile. This is more of an issue in urban environments than for cross-country transit, of course, but still... if trains are the answer, then we're asking the wrong question.
