Unfortunately, no, that is not the usual way any more. Two primary reasons:

1. Compiling regexes at compile time requires a compiler plugin, which only works on nightly.

2. The compile-time regexes are dramatically slower (think orders of magnitude) than the normal Regex::new method. The normal Regex::new method is what's shown here in these bindings.

The compiler plugin was code I wrote two years ago, and really hasn't changed since then. Regex::new on the other hand has gotten a lot of love.

The plugin's performance may one day get better, but it won't be soon unless someone else works on it.

Yes, you are locked out after 5 incorrect prints. At that point, you need to use your passcode to unlock your phone.

That said, even if they guess that you're most likely to use your thumb, there is still a chance you can't unlock the device, especially on pre-6S devices, since the sensor is a lot more finnicky.
But for some reason it's not outrageous for a judge to send me to jail because I showed them insufficient respect.

The rights of protest and speech cannot be the same in courts, even to the same degree as a place like congress or the offices of the executive. (And in those last two cases, the right of speech is also curtailed.) Otherwise, the courts wouldn't be able to function, particularly in the case of an adversarial court system.

As an analogy, years ago I was part of a small alliance in Eve that consistently won battles. But as we were winning, the server would crash and the devs would come in and roll-back the damage we had done.

The courts have a hard enough time as it is functioning. I am involved in a case against an assailant, and I learned that it's very typical for defense attorneys to purposely drag out cases to maximize victim fatigue. The defense attorney somehow has surgery scheduled on the hearing dates. A legal system is very complicated. It's likely to have more loopholes than a software system has bugs. And it's probably a lot harder and more time consuming to fix those.

This is why "contempt of court" exists.

I don't know anything about animal (verbal) language. But I'm curious if there are any animals whose apparent language is advanced enough that zoologists may believe that the animals have a conceptual language similar to ours.

If so, I wonder if ML algorithms have ever been applied to decode the languages? I suppose collecting the data may be hard, but it feels like ML may better suited to predict/decode the language than qualitative observations by humans? e.g. what if communication happened more via power than frequency?
So what? Bill Clinton also ran on a platform of smaller government and cutting expenses in order to balance the budget.

The fact is that Bush (and the US population) spent very little time or intellectual effort on matters of monetary policy during that election cycle, compared with where we are today. Bush, in 2000, ran on a platform of relatively progressive positions such as his 'no child left behind' proposal, tax breaks for small businesses, criticizing Clinton's several foreign policy gaffs, getting the US off of its foreign oil reliance, etc. The size and scope of government was not a major talking point for either campaign. Thus, the suggested 'irony' mentioned in the OP to which I was replying is misplaced.
> Some of those lawyers and accounts themselves make millions a year and pay 40%+ in income taxes, and there is little they can do to reduce that number because it's labor income.

Lawyers and accountants making that much are generally not doing it all (or even mostly) as what is, for tax purposes, labor income; they are doing it by owning (or co-owning) a firm through which the work is done, taking a much smaller salary as labor income, with the rest being the firms income which, if extracted, is extracted as tax-favored capital income (depending on the particular form of firm and method by which the value is extracted, this could be taxable dividends or LTCG, which are both tax-favored but have different exact tax treatment.)

Desnity Peak clustering is an interesting idea, but is still centroid based and will have many of the same issues as K-Means (but may pick better centroids for this case). It also involves a little bit of parameter tuning (particularly with regard to bandwidth), and can be relatively slow if not suitably accelerated with space indexing structures such as kd-trees or cover-trees.
Out-of-tree targets for LLVM are generally a bad idea given how fast LLVM is changed. Every change could break the out-of-tree target, and being out-of-tree, there's no way the upstream developers could notice that.
akira.md | Toronto | Onsite iOS & Android Developers: 80,000-120,000CAD
Akira is a doctor in your pocket. We’re on a mission to make world-class healthcare convenient and accessible to all of humanity.
With Akira, Canadians can consult with physicians on-demand by secure text or video. They have mobile access to their health records, including labs, imaging, doctor’s notes, and prescriptions. And they have a Personal Health Assistant who will focus on preventing illness, rather than simply treating it.
Based in Toronto, we’re building an interdisciplinary team of physicians, developers, data scientists and designers to tackle hard problems in healthcare technology. Our mobile health platform - currently in beta across Canada - will bring much-needed change to a medical system still reliant on fax machines and paper charts.
Our long-term goal is to double the average global human lifespan by automating the delivery of medical advice and treatment.
If you're passionate about moving healthcare forward, email me at alex@akira.md or apply at http://akira.md/about.html#careers
Great, thanks for the follow up and link. Personalised approaches to health/medicine is an exciting area.

Should We All Be Helping Trees Relocate?
I'm not quite sure how non-lexical lifetimes is supposed to fix this issue. Control-flow analysis doesn't change the fact that the arguments are evaluated in left-to-right order, and it doesn't change the fact that the &mut reference is created prior to the method arguments being evaluated and lives until the method itself is invoked. Control flow analysis will simply confirm the fact that the &mut borrow exists while the arguments are evaluated.

What might fix this is a special-case rule where an implicit¹ & or &mut reference as a method receiver is temporarily ignored while the arguments are being evaluated (with the borrow checker double-checking after the arguments are evaluated that the & or &mut reference is still legal, i.e. that the referenced value wasn't moved and, in the case of a &mut reference, that no other borrow exists as a result of evaluating the arguments). This rule, being a special case, doesn't require non-lexical lifetimes.

¹I say implicit because it would be potentially confusing for an explicit reference to be ignored while the arguments are evaluated.

> Whenever I visit the doctor and I am given a form asking if my data can be sent to some group to participate in a study, I always answer yes. Never once have I had any negative repercussions from doing so, and it is my hope that the data was used to publish scientific papers that added to net knowledge of humanity.

I've grown cynical. My first thought on seeing this kind of form is that a third party will be making money from the information I provide somehow - whether it's through patented drugs or treatments or through pay journals like those owned by Elsevier. Neither I, nor anyone I know, will get to benefit from from the information I provide without spending money (often exorbitant amounts of it). This is the flip side of privatizing everything. Why should I lift a finger to help for-profit entities when they will not do the same to help me?
I think the idea of using fingerprints, retina scans, face recognition, etc. as an access token is a fascinating instance of how culture influences technology.

These things are very poor candidates for access control because you need fuzzy statistical/ML/AI/CV recognition techniques (which means you have to worry about false positives and false negatives), and it's basically impossible to re-issue credentials in case of a compromise (changing someone's fingerprints or facial characteristics would require performing plastic surgery on the user!)

But because of movies and TV, everyone "knows" that in the future we're supposed to have our technology unlocked by our fingerprints, so that's what drives people to buy and vendors to implement, regardless of how absurdly impractical it is if you actually stop to think about it for five seconds.

I totally forgot about AngelScript. It really has the lowest context switching overhead, but you get to keep the verbose C++ syntax in return, which is a trade-off.

I think the problem with most sugars is that most people don't understand that the bulk of it is stored as glycogen in the muscular system.

Sugars really only have several places to go once they are ingested: Held in the fiber of undigested food, blood stream, liver and muscles.

We do really well with vegetables even though they are carbs since veggies are mostly fiber and very low carb. The high glycemic foods are okay provided that muscle glycogen is going-to-be/has-been depleted in the form of physical exertion.

Building muscle would also increases ones capacity for storing said glucose, but it's not easy or popular since the rate of muscle growth at best is about 1-2lbs/month under ideal conditions of physical exertion, nutrition and rest.

However, exercise and low-glycemic diets do explain the efficacy of reveesing t2 diabetes.

Certainly a safe interface is better than none, but unsafe and/or inefficient implementations are just symptoms of expressiveness issues, not a fact of life. That being said, what Rust has is already a strict improvement over not even being able to state how ephemeral data structures can be safely used. Also, establishing the safety of code that manipulates arrays (without runtime bounds checks), cyclical data structures (e.g. doubly-linked lists) and user-defined forms of indirection (e.g. hashing) is probably best done using tools other than unification-based type checkers.

But if releasing your data leads to research that can save lives, isn't that worth doing even if someone gets rich in the process? I'd much rather there exist a million-dollar treatment that can save my life at the cost of living in debt for the next twenty years, rather than die in six months because the research was never done.

(Yes, this is a false dichotomy - there should be a better way of administering treatments and doing medical research.)
