Not really, there are tools that can take C header files and spit out bindings. Rust also supports vararg C functions even though Rust itself doesn't support varargs. Writing safe Rust wrappers around these unsafe C bindings can sometimes be tedious, but this isn't worse than using C directly (which is inherently unsafe).

Recently I've found myself a bit lonely at times due to changing circumstances and a lack of being introduced to other people that would like some more friends.

I have gone to a few meetups. Which is a technology based product. It has helped me meet people and end loneliness.

This has nothing to do with the evolution of society, as you put it.

If I was hit by ransomware and needed to restore from backup, I'd make damn sure to mount that backup drive readonly.
This is one of my issues with Rust, there are a a couple dozen knobs that need to be turned and may or may not break things to get somewhat sensible behavior (imo). And creating a shared library with Rust with it's default behavior of crashing on OOM (Linux can be configured to not do overcommit), etc is just plain bad.. oh yes there is a knob for that too!

> For when single ownership does not suffice, Rust programs rely on the standard reference-counting smart pointer type, Rc, and its thread-safe counterpart, Arc, instead of GC.

This is a library thing, not a language thing.

If single ownership is enough for you, go ahead and use it. But if you need a different memory management strategy, that is available too.

Rust, the language, provides a single clear memory management strategy. It also provides the ability to design your own abstractions for different strategies, and implements some of these in the stdlib.

C/C++ have refcounting and GC libraries too. Does that make them a joke?

The idea behind algorithmia is to expose algorithms, functions and ML models through an API so that they can be adapted from any language you as the developer feel comfortable in. Today we added a number of different languages our platform supports - expanding the number of developers that can contribute to our platform. The larger the library the more you can do with it.

Regarding the licenses. We support 4 types of licenses currently 3 FOSS and 1 Algorithmia Platform. The Algorithmia Platform takes no rights other than giving us permission to run your code on our platform and provide it as a service. At no point do we take ANY ownership of your IP. The only thing that can be seen as a restriction is that once you put an algorithm in our platform that version will always be there - this is just to guarantee to anybody building on top of our API that the code will always be there for them.

Regarding upvotes - HN has serious voting ring detection behind it and this climbed the ranks naturally since posted this morning. We are avid participants in this community with no intention of manipulating what is of interest.
thanks for reporting - looking into this now.

> Regarding the entanglement of brain with experiment, that is totally unfounded extrapolation of applicability of many-particle Schroedinger's equation. It is useful for atoms and molecules, but it is practically intractable for systems of few atoms.

It seems like you're saying that a different physics governs reality once the number of particles is large enough. Is your sole objection instead that rigorously describing the state of a brain is computationally intractable? If so, what bearing does that have on this:

> We shouldn't assign mysterious properties to "measurement" as though it's some magical thing that just makes quantum mechanics happen. Just call it what it is: entangling the state of your brain with the results of an experiment.

To answer your question, I don't need formally specify the experimenter in rigorous detail, in order to reason about what is going to happen when I ask the experimenter the result. It's also weird that you mention that I can "just ask the experimenter" when that doesn't really help me make any predictions. (Unless I try to predict what the experimenter will say, at which point we're back to entangled brains again.) What were you getting at with that?
They're not. I've said this before [1], but bootcamps are training programming's equivalent to the technician. Techs have a very needed place. A technician can become a master of a trade, and with experience design something that's awesome (see motorcycle craftsman). However, a technician will likely not design a Turbofan engine from scratch.

Code camps are (in my opinion) a sign that programming is bifurcating into software engineers, and software technicians (or whatever we choose to call someone who can apply a science, but not necessarily understand the science).

Android Studio 2.2 Preview – New UI Designer and Constraint Layout
Fresh machine where and for whom? I doubt a simple batch script will get you very far (setup.exe exists for a reason...), and I doubly-doubt you would have enough overlap in the process that something that can convert the steps to bash would be an advantage. The only advantage I see for batsh is that it looks nicer to write in for the tiny subset of batch it supports. But then so is pretty much anything else -- it wouldn't surprise me if someone has already written a DSL in a well known language that can output to batch or powershell, we don't need a whole new language for this.
I think this is very legit, and when we see a built prototype, which they project by the end of the year, it could be a game changer in fleets. If you research the owner (Trevor Milton), you'll find he started a company called D Hybrid. It involved natural gas conversion technology of diesel systems. It was bought by Worthington Industries, a publicly traded company, so he was able to pass that test. This seems like a logical profession of an innovator. The name does seem like a miss step, but they aren't a direct competitor with Tesla motors (at this stage). I'm only basing this on what I can trace about the founder and I'm thinking the founder is an innovator that knows what they are doing. As they say, build it and they will come. They'll call you crazy or a fraud until you do. My bet is this is very real and we'll know relatively soon.
If you are thinking of bootcamps as supplemental education, sure. But the article and title was talking "in lieu of". Always go from general to specialised along with age. So, definitely finish college/univ and then get specialization as needed.
Yes, Cinema 4d has a reputation for being easy to use, I may give it a shot.

I started with 3ds r4, then 3ds Max r2, blender, lightwave, maya. I've stuck with blender the most, partially because the ui is fast to use for me. It was not fast to learn, though that has improved.

Granted, Cycles (Blender's global illumination renderer) is not selected by default, but it's a drop down at the top menu bar to switch.

Then you can click "file" -> save "default settings".

Whats interesting to me is that their spams to change your password showed up on a whole bunch of group email addresses I am a member of. So at some point linkedin went and harvested email addresses that got to my inbox and made a bunch of bad assumptions to include those as secondary addresses for me. I can only assume it was their mobile app, which is now forever uninstalled on all my devices. I simply cannot have them doing that.
I think you understand my point. I was talking about the roots. Roosevelt was already distinct from the mainstream Progressives, but he wasn't afraid to say he thought they had some good ideas because he understood he had a lot of the same goals and that they could find common ground. Most Republicans and Democrats in the USA could be part of the same political party in other countries, but here they hardly even talk to each other.

Glenn Beck is acting as if Progressives would naturally be anti-business, but the movement, even the modern movement, is based on improving business conditions. Of course other areas too, but it has a big focus on people's jobs because that's where they spend their time.

It started out to address the concerns of the left while also standing against socialist ideas. You could say it's like the Open Source movement that saw the Free Software movement as a little too anti-business and wanted to pursue a similar agenda while not coming out too hard against business as usual.

Conservatives and Progressive have a lot more in common that I could get into here, but that's not the point. It's that Glenn Beck knows a lot of Democrats are pro business and pro tech and acts as if he doesn't understand how it could be possible. He's just playing dumb.
Then it isn't really a bootcamp vs college discussion, is it?

Dear Websites: Don't fuck with scroll.

Yes, book-style pages are useful. However they're not the convention for HTML navigation.

And users may visit with any of multiple mixes of devices, controls, and/or viewports.

I'm on a mobile device that looks a lot like a desktop in landscape mode but has a keyboard but no mouse or trackpad or trackpoint, nor does it have pageup/pagedown keys.

And it can rapidly convert to a portrait-mode display.

> but their commit in the full context of why that change was made, including an easy-to-reference link to the pull request and ideally (through the pull request description)

This is somewhat fair, but I feel it needs to be noted that even if you don't squash commit, if you look up a commit in Github, at the top of the page it will link you to the PR even if that commit is not the merge commit. I use this all the time to go from a random commit to a PR in our code, even though we do not squash commit. (We encourage, but do not enforce, an autosquash rebase against master; that is, history is kept, but you're permitted fixup! commits for really silly things like typos that we don't care to remain in the history, and it's left to your judgement what should be kept. The rebase cuts down on the amount of criss-crossing branches.) That said, I also use the individual commit message to, as the grandparent noted, figure out what a dev was — or wasn't — thinking.
You can probably build a $100m - $1B business that way. You're not going to be cap1 (though cap1 serves lots of customers prime banks won't touch, so they have their own niche).

2) if you do the basic transformation (addition of water to alkene, https://www.khanacademy.org/science/organic-chemistry/alkene...) biochemically and chemically speaking you usually assign an integral oxidation change of 0, but in reality, the alcohol is slightly higher oxidization state than the alkene.
and don't care about surface topology, rigging or UV layout

Not true. In fact those are important aspects - especially UV layout as texture baking correctly across dynamic finishes with the same underlying polygons is critical for accurate rendering.

majority of the various 3D industries

Like which? Aside from production level CAD/CAM we cover most other use cases as they are almost strictly rendering/modeling.

Only if you don't care about topology, representing unscannable things, polygon efficiency, UV layout, rigging

Again, not true. Especially polygon efficiency - our model requires polygon optimization so that our models can be utilized by low-bandwidth areas. It has been a massive challenge but one we cracked big nuts on. "Unscannable things" is an issue, but again, there are solutions including destructive scanning and X-Ray/MRI which give us insight.

An actual flag wouldn't be bad, but I know that I've sometimes given out conditional approvals in a code review (i.e., "if you change this, then I approve; if you don't agree, then we should talk"). The idea being to remove a round-trip that would otherwise waste the reviewee's time. (This of course implies a certain degree of trust that the reviewee makes the change as you desire, but in practice I find this isn't a problem.)

From the founder's post:

1- When customers repay their loans, they can be eligible for larger loans at lower rates (it is almost unheard of for payday lenders to offer better terms).

2- In the top half of our Ladder, customers have the option to have their payments reported to the credit bureaus (payday lenders don’t report).

3- When customers need more time to repay, we don’t charge them extra (payday lenders use rollovers to make more money when their customers struggle).

4- When customers make successful repayments, many can become eligible for a credit card (which is essentially an interest-free short-term loan, if paid on time and in full).
No I can do things to it; I have u9fs installed and use that often. How it does sms, though, isn't clear and I can't find anything on it.
* or use it in any sort of realtime or near realtime application you will be replacing every single polygon using a mix of manual modeling work and other algorithmic tools*

Our product is real-time and "other algorithmic tools" are the basis for our work - and we have had fantastic unprecedented results.

Raw scan data is a fantastic starting point but it's not an end to end solution.

That is true for current COTS tools, but what we built has proven that we can get an end-to-end solutions for our problem which is opaque, non-reflective objects larger than a soda can and smaller than a vehicle.

I know everyone on HN is the smartest ever and nobody here can see other people as making real shit but there are innovations happening. In this case the wide scale need wasn't there for innovation for a long time and now there is.

It's a welcome upgrade from version 2, but I think Workflows and Snippets really could've done with a central hub for developers to upload and share their workflows/snippets, alongside a panel in Alfred to search and install them in-app (much like the 'Package Control' package manager on Sublime Text).

With the new Snippets Collections (https://www.alfredapp.com/extras/snippets/) page on their website the developers say they'll be 'adding many more snippets collections over time', but I feel like this is going to be heavily curated and infrequently updated.

The Packal (http://www.packal.org/) website does a pretty good job for Workflows currently, but I hope that expands to Snippets soon.

You might also want to check the batteries you are using for your system. Due to the nature of the small space and high use, I remember from my armature radio license exam that some batteries vent gas when under operation. If I remember correctly, one such battery is NiMH.

Isn't the issue that Google is making a statement about the same issue while taking the opposite stand.
Powershell introduces more complications, with functions like Invoke-WebRequest being given the alias "curl". At a minimum, you would get a type validation error, as Invoke-WebRequest by default gives back headers and other data as objects inside a larger object, not just the content string that curl.exe defaults to returning.

This should work in both bash and PS, with different results:

> curl HTTP://example.com > file.html
After using several different libraries over the past few years, I've started using D3.js on its own. While it's more work than dropping something ready-made into an app, it's more flexible.

If you have specific designs/requirements to work from, it may be easier to build the charts with D3 than trying to shoehorn a stock chart into matching the spec. Behaviors like linking chart interactions to independent components (or vice versa) become easier to implement as well.

If you care less about flexibility, Chartist is a solid contender: https://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/
