Rust and Go are going into different directions.

Rust is trying something new and Go tries to only use the stuff that worked in the past.

It's no surprise that people favor Go instead of Rust.

Also the last time I saw a video about a low level language discussion, only Rust had a dev there nobody really knows. C++, D and Go had prominent people speaking for them.

The tooling really isn't the problem, as far as I can tell, Cargo is really one of the best package manager out there.

Nothing is "completely solved". Even the plague is still around, we just avoid it by washing ourselves more -- something you wouldn't do if you followed along with the idiotic notion that what we did "before" was better. It wasn't. People likely died of cardiovascular disease same as today, there was just more competition among "things that could kill you" than there is today. This state of things changed because we stopped doing what we were doing "before".
I love the design and the "Get early access" button, especially the minimalism involved in the side bar. However, I do have a question on the site's functionality, if it's meant to provide a singular place for product updates, changelogs and emails, how does it differ from Atlassian's JIRA?

The goal was to get improvement over scrypt. Scrypt is good but it can be improved. For example robustness against side-channel attacks. There are also some seemingly minor issues like the need to keep password in memory until hashing is done, complexity of the scheme, parameter selection and user-friendliness that can be important if the algorithm is widely adopted.

btw. Colin Percival (creator of scrypt) was part of the committee.

Agreed. If you're even just moderately healthy, you can't push your heartrate up until it spirals out of control and you sustain physical damage. What a silly notion. Still, the heart rate being off so drastically does justify at least a complaint - otherwise I could make a wristband that generates random garbage values in the range 70-180 and say it measures heart rate.

To be honest, to most Western mouth the difference between Sushi Dai and any random joint in the same area is negligible. We had delicious sushi at 8 in the morning in another place, and it was still the best I've ever had (and I tried my fair share of sushi joints in London and Paris, as well as Tokyo and Kyoto).

Honestly, if you are in Tokyo for a short period, it doesn't make sense to waste 6 hours in a queue for sushi, go elsewhere.

You might not like them, but the average person probably doesn't have the same resentment they have towards child porn viewers. I've seen people openly talking about watching such videos on the internet and edited versions are even broadcast on the news. It's not a crime and it's not demonized.

Not seeing any strong reasons, I suspect the real answer is that people feel hate towards sexual deviants of any sort just as they always have. It used to be gays but now they're off limits, so pedophiles are about all they have left to hate. Maybe that combined with a bit of "think of the children!". There's also widespread hatred toward incest but it doesn't seem so severe, perhaps because when it's adults, only the former emotion applies, not the latter.

Yes, it is one click installer for OSX.

However, the EnterpriseDB for OSX is basically broken. The good news is, that the user, who needs step by step instructions to download and install, will never find it out. On the other hand, user, who will find it out (because he is unable to build any pg extension with their pgxs, for example) does not need instructions at this level.

High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being (Daniel Kahneman1 and Angus Deaton)
http://www.pnas.org/content/107/38/16489.abstract

" Income and education are more closely related to life evaluation, but health, care giving, loneliness, and smoking are relatively stronger predictors of daily emotions. When plotted against log income, life evaluation rises steadily. Emotional well-being also rises with log income, but there is no further progress beyond an annual income of ~$75,000. Low income exacerbates the emotional pain associated with such misfortunes as divorce, ill health, and being alone. We conclude that high income buys life satisfaction but not happiness, and that low income is associated both with low life evaluation and low emotional well-being."

They can be accurate - In a static test I did the other day, the Charge HR reported the same* as the Garmin HRM, Withings Scales, and a finger pulse oximeter. It was within 5-10bpm of the Garmin on a 25 minute run after I'd adjusted the position according to their advice for exercise.

10x less power compared to a gtx980ti, which is 250 watts TDP. That puts their device at 25 watts, which doesn't fit into the power envelope of any popular device form factor. A tablet should be 10 watts maximum at peak load, a phone should be closer to 1 watt. And it can't compete with desktop hardware either.

This is assuming that they run the 980ti maxed out, which might not be the case. If it isn't maxed out, it's a bit of a silly comparison.

>For 1, that's a great idea and I really need the exercise. But it's ruled out for 4 months of the year due to northern temperatures.

There's stationary bikes, gyms, etc.

Plus, not going outside is an attitude issue. I've gone running a few times in winter, despite having Raynaud's syndrome (or something similar, my extremities tend towards ambient temperature unless I'm jogging or doing something equally strenuous). It's doable. Not pleasant and requires some thought and care though.

Absolutely, there is a point below which people just don't have the luxury to not take any extra work they can.

There is, however, also a large group of people who could have more free time but choose to work more because they prefer to own more stuff to having more free time.

I work an 80% job (4-day work weeks) because I have reached the point where I don't really need more money. I don't consider myself rich, but with my spending patterns I don't need to worry about a daily budget anymore, and I have cash leftover to save every month. A lot of people are genuinely surprised by this decision, even though they work the same kind of job as me and therefore many of them likely have a similar financial situation.
Having visited a number of cities in the US, I have to say I agree with Washington DC here - I found it to have the most touristy things to do, be a great place for exploring on foot and home to good bars and restaurants. Not a place many people from across the pond have as their first choice (usually NYC, Vegas, San Francisco or LA) but my favourite city of the lot. And seeing all the monuments lit up at night is just amazing.
This isn't anywhere close to doing a full scene with ray tracing, just some shadows and added reflections. The prettier looking demos are all static geometry. There's one demo with moving objects but all static meshes. No mention how expensive is the preprocessing that they do (building BVHs or other acceleration structures).

This may be a very interesting piece of hardware but it's not something that will revolutionize gaming over night.

Rasterization with post processing tricks may be "cheating" but it still subjectively looks better than any raytracing based technology so far (in anything close to real time). Raytracing is mainly interesting for shadows, which can't be accurately simulated with rasterization. There are pretty shadow mapping tricks but no "one size fits all" solution exists.
> You might not like them, but the average person probably doesn't have the same resentment they have towards child porn viewers.

That's quite a claim.

Not around me.

> and edited versions are even broadcast on the news.

Again, not any news that I've seen.

We apparently inhabit completely different circles and cultures.

> It's not a crime and it's not demonized.

Posession of child pornography is a crime where I live.

Watching it is hard to criminalize since you can't prove who watched what so I can see why that would not be a crime and should not be a crime.

> Not seeing any strong reasons, I suspect the real answer is that people feel hate towards sexual deviants of any sort just as they always have.

I don't see this either.

You can be a 'sexual deviant' (your words, not mine) all you want, it's fine with me. But the line gets drawn where children get abused and that's why possession of child pornography (and not being of a paedophillic disposition) is a crime.

> It used to be gays but now they're off limits, so pedophiles are about all they have left to hate.

That's an insanely dumb line. Gays are 'off limits' because just like pedophiles they are people first. You don't get to bash gay people for their sexuality (or your own insecurities) any more than you get to bash pedophiles. That's not the point. The pedophiles that get bashed are the ones that act on their urges in such a way that they endanger the people that we happen to cherish most, our (collective) children and their behavior in such situations makes use of the power asymmetry between adults and children (who are all but defenseless).

In that sense the outrage is no less than if a big adult guy would rape a slightly built woman. (Or at least, I would expect it to be no less, it certainly wouldn't be less for me.)

> Maybe that combined with a bit of "think of the children!".

No, we just don't expect the children to stand up for themselves. They're physically weak (in the case of child pornography there does not seem to be a lower limit on what gets people excited, it goes all the way to newborns...), they are small, they generally defer to the authority of the adults present and they end up scarred for life from these ordeals.

> There's also widespread hatred toward incest but it doesn't seem so severe, perhaps because when it's adults, only the former emotion applies, not the latter.

Incest is taboo in many cultures. There are several reasons for that (most of them good, some of them debatable) but the definition of incest is probably not what you think it is (it can involve consent and it may involve only adults). Incest is more about bloodlines than anything else.

The government will be selected randomly from all citizens.

This could be improved with quotas like 50% have to be selected from the female citizens, 14% from the african american citizens, etc.

The massive speedup in the election could then be invested in the time those random people need to form a government.
Ideas and concepts have the ability to benefit society as a whole. Physical property benefits very few.

Also after a certain period of time, it becomes a bit of a stretch to suggest that nobody else would have thought of that same idea over a long enough time frame.

That's not quite what I meant.

My point is that, if only a small fraction of the population survived past, say, 65 for 8000 generations, we're unlikely to be genetically pre-disposed to anything much that optimises for long term health. It just wouldn't make genetic sense.

So a regimen that focuses on what is good for our paleolithic selves strikes me as being probably only coincidentally helpful for anything much beyond a healthy 20s or 30s.

TBH it's not obvious why we would be genetically optimised to survive much beyond child rearing age, say, mid 30s to early 40s but, again, I don't know enough about paleolithic society to make anything other than a superficial case.

I'm also not arguing against the likely health benefits of daily exercise etc. Long term or otherwise. Just against the genetic case that uses the "what was good for our ancestors" argument.

"It may seem odd because we have stereotypes of the South, but residential segregation levels are lowest in Southern cities such as Atlanta, Houston and Dallas," she says.

...so they live together, but just in the South?

This piece had a lot to say about historical prejudice, but doesn't adequately explain why segregation persists. A single anecdote and a throw-away stat about profiling prospective home buyers don't explain things well at all.

I don't find it too surprising. Check out IEEE Spectrum's index from 2014:

You can break it down by classes of development (web, mobile, enterprise, embedded) as well as weighting (Spectrum, trending, jobs, open, custom). Spectrum's index (even though it's from 2014 and includes things TIOBE doesn't like SQL) isn't so very different from TIOBE's index.

Comparing X11 to Win32 is just laughable. X11 is ANCIENT. It also provides no widgets or anything other than windows and drawing primitives (which are ancient). You can't do anti-aliased fonts for example, you have to render then with freetype2 into a pixmap buffer and put that in your window. Practically every GUI toolkit does it that way - allocate window, do the drawing yourself, present final pixmap.

Win32 is more like Qt and if we could just fucking standardise Qt as THE API to target, everyone would be much happier. But of course then the Gnome devs won't be happy. The Linux desktop would be in a much better place if Gnome was dead.

> Also "approaching the maximum recommended heart rate for her age [...] may well have exceeded it, thereby jeopardizing her health and safety" seems a bit far-fetched - I'm not a small fellow by any means and I struggle to get my heart rate up to my max (~180bpm), much less over it[1].

Hmm. I'm pretty overweight and can easily go over 180bpm if I'm not watching myself on the treadmill - 5 minutes at 10-11kph will do it.

I know a girl that is a fervent supporter of the Hunter-Gatherer meme. She believes fully that in paleolithic times everything was better because back then we didn't pollute as much as we do and the people that are currently in power would not be. Everybody was healthy and lived long and carefree lives, flowers braided in long hair, snatching the occasional berry of a brush and once in a half year butchering a rabbit.

When I argue with her about this I can't seem to get the point across that in paleolithic times she'd most likely be dead already, and that even though we may have missed the path to some kind of nirvana in our local maximum limited hill climbing algorithm we are very much better off than anybody, even the most healthy and lucky person in the long ago past.

Hunter-Gatherer fitness is not a thing to strive for in isolation, the utility of the energy expense is not balanced by anything you really need to have (say, the ability to outrun a predator) in our modern society.

That said, there is also no reason to let your body go to pot.

Number 3 on the list is Malta, and I just have to add that one of the best books I have ever read is "The Great Siege: Malta 1565" [1]. It's quite short, but absolutely fascinating. I wrote this in my Amazon review of it:

The story of the siege of Malta in 1565 is absolutely riveting. The Knights of St John, with Grand Master de la Valette, and the Maltese population are attacked and besieged by the numerically superior Turks for the entire summer of 1565. Ernle Bradford does a remarkable job of describing the events in such a way that it almost feels like you are there. Along the way, you also learn a lot about life, war and politics in the 16th century
