It transliterates C to Rust all right, but the Rust isn't any safer than the C that goes in. Note the representation of an null-terminated string - it's an unsafe pointer to a byte. That's what it was in C, transliterated unsafely to Rust. Some safe Rust representation for C arrays is needed.

From the description of how it translates a FOR loop, it does so by compiling it down to the primitive operations and tests. A Rust FOR loop does not emerge. That needs idiom recognition for the common cases including, at least, "for (i=0; i<n; i++) {...}".

This is a big job, but it's good someone started on it.

Weston A Price foundation is not a reliable or useful source of health information. It is more of a religion, or cult, based on a bunch of anecdotes from Price's travels and dental practice. They never let science get in the way of a good story from their founder.

As with other religions, they get some things right, but I think I'll take my nutritional guidance from the best science I can find on the topic, rather than a 19th century dentist.
I didn't run in school so I haven't seen a lot of xc courses. I just occasionally run on a local xc course. It's all screened gravel, except for a single (long) grass hill. I've run a couple other xc courses and they've all been easy compared to the local single-track. I recently ran the UIUC xc course and it's an all grass loop around their arboretum with a single man-made "hill".

The single-track in my area is very rugged, with lots of roots and exposed jagged rock, so I think that may be part of it too. But point taken.

Hello guys,

this is some thougts and result of my investigation into skype protocol and how it is worked.

First of all, what we need to reconstruct network protocol?

We need plain text data which transfered from host A to host B, right? Right. So, there it is. There is a text files with plain text data which sended from one skype client to another skype client. Yes, it have much crypto on lower levels. For now, just dont think about it. It was researched one time and after we just encapsulate it in function or class and dont care about it. Text files of skype send message sequence:

http://dev.epycslib.ru/dumps/parse_proto.zip

Okay, we got plain text data transfered. What we need next? We need understand, that all this data means. Where is destination username, where is time and where is message. And how protocol care it all for working good. How to do this? Best way, its rewrite it on paper in your own blocks and visual representation to understand internal structure of protocol. Make visual blocks and etc. Like in UML. So, there it is. My scans of hand written paper with skype protocol send message sequences:

Getting reasons for why you're not getting hired from companies is basically not an option- even if they tell you anything it's likely safety speak BS unrelated to why.

As a guy who's been on both sides of the metaphorical table I know what it's like to bomb but it's almost worse when you feel like you did well and then really have no clue, so I empathize with you for that.

From the other side, I implement an everybody says yes hiring scheme. If an interviewer says no we talk about why. We've had most technical no's overturned when the other interviewers relate a positive interaction in a similar technical area and we come to a conclusion that it was as simple as how the question was asked, or maybe that is a specific weakness made up for in another area.

The no's that are almost never overturned are the ones where an interviewer just didn't seem to like the candidate personally. I don't expect everyone to be friends, bristly people are fine if they're generally capable of some team play, but if someone walks out of that room saying I couldn't stand to spend more time with that person than my family, that's it- we're not going to hire.

I don't want everyone on the team drinking from the same kool aid, and we don't have to be friends or even that friendly. We have to be able to work together and get shit done, and if one of my employees I trust enough to do interviews says no, then even a very talented developer isn't going to join the team.

With all that being said, I don't know what kinds of teams you're interviewing for, it may be a niche thing or it could be they don't like you- it's a relationship though, you will eventually find a decent match.

If you want to do a trial run through with me with a no bullshit no PC response as to my opinion on it I'd be happy to carve out some time. Message me on Twitter @ashurexm and we can set something up. You've got to have pretty good skills to get 12 in person interviews in a shortish amount of time.
You're deep in conspiracy-theory territory. No one seriously disputes that the actual black violent crime rate is much much higher than the white violent crime rate. This is accepted fact. Unfortunately, this kind of conspiratorial fact-free thinking has been embraced by movements like BLM and their supporters.

To expect equal outcomes is absurd. The black and white communities in the US have very different histories and cultures. Their economic conditions are also wildly different. The different crime rates and outcomes are completely consistent with this.

And yes, for some crimes, blacks probably get caught at a higher rate. Black neighborhoods tend to be high-crime areas, so they tend to have greater police presence. This is totally rational policing. Liberty City in Miami needs a strong police presence to protect the inhabitants. The super ritzy and quiet parts of Coral Gables don't. Guess where you're more likely to get picked up for a low level stuff like speeding, smoking weed, or loitering? And who's more likely to get caught? The white guy selling drugs to his buddies at school or from home, or the black guy selling drugs on the corner? Different communities, different dynamics, different outcomes.
Nothing in your post contradicts, or even addresses, anything either in my post, or the point it responds to from upthread.

The contention upthread was that "Contrary to popular perception, the drug war is not a major factor in incarceration in the US."

Drug offenses alone (and the drug war produces, and includes imprisonment for, other, non-drug offenses) account for about 1/6 of the total prison population and 1/3 of total prison admissions (sources addressed in my previous post in this subthread.) Ending the drug war -- even if you consider only drug offenses, would eliminate a significant share of the total prison population, and a much larger share of total prison admissions.

The facts clearly show that, while drug offenses alone are not the majority of incarceration in the US (either by population or admissions), the Drug War is a very significant contributor to incarceration in the US.
I used to live in the city of Malmö, Sweden. Now I live in Lund, 20 minutes away from bus.

It is amazing that Malmö was chosen as a name, I wonder how the reasoning went?

our findings suggest that in affluent countries with extensive social safety nets, causal effects of wealth are not a major source of the wealth-mortality gradients, nor of the observed relationships between child developmental outcomes and household income

Pretty much the same as in the 19th century US:

Sons of winners have no better adult outcomes (wealth, income, literacy) than the sons of non-winners, and winners' grandchildren do not have higher literacy or school attendance than non-winners' grandchildren. This suggests only a limited role for family financial resources in the transmission of human capital across generations and a potentially more important role for other factors that persist through family lines.

I didn't say they were one and the same - just showing that it's illegal to turn someone away.
Anyone got some background information on the choice of project name? Malmö is the name of Sweden's third largest city (where I grew up).
Me too, so I actually asked them and apparently it's because it's approximately in the middle between Cambridge (where the team is located) and Stockholm (where Minecraft was made).
Does that take into account the type of police officer making the arrest (patrol, traffic, detective, narcotics, transit, desk/administrative, etc) and also the deployment and arrest location?

If the same cops patrol the same demographic and the same high crime areas it would reason that the same cops (and same type of specific category) will be making the majority of the arrests. Which will skew the mentioned statistic to them.
Apparently it's because it's approximately in the middle between Cambridge (where the team is located) and Stockholm (where Minecraft was made).
Actually, if we assume that force really was appropriate, then what they're doing is correct.

Real life firearms are NOTHING like those on TV. First, your chances of actually hitting something from any non-trivial distance isn't that great. Even 10 yards is far from a sure hit, and just hitting doesn't necessarily count for much.

Second, the fact that the bad guy took a hit doesn't mean he's going down. In fact, he almost certainly will not. Anything less than a headshot destroying the brain (sorry to be graphic) may well have them still shooting back at you, even if the wound will ultimately prove fatal. Even severing the femoral artery or aorta isn't going to have the bad guy dropping in his tracks.

And in such a situation, your goal is to stop the threat. As you can see, ensuring that the treat is stopped requires a lot more than a double-tap.
I have an idea: if you're accused and spend time in jail before trial but then you win your case, the state has to fully compensate you for any financial loss at all that you experience because of your jail stay: lost wages, house or car repossessed (you get a new house or car of at least the brand-new value), etc.

If that bankrupts the state, that's OK with me.
That's the reason I said "de facto". Read my footnote.

As someone in a country with a serious mugging problem and having lost an iPhone already, one of the biggest security flaws I see is being able to power it off without providing any authentication.

What is even the point of Find my Phone and all that if anyone can just instantly switch off all the tracking?? You can't even ring your own number after that, and even law enforcement cannot look up the cell tower logs to see where it's been.

There should be an option to require a passcode for power-off, and another option to periodically send Find my Phone tracking even when "powered off," via any available network, until the battery dies.

EDIT: I agree they can just take out the SIM and we need to be able to force-power-off anyway.. but what can be done to increase the recoverability of these expensive items?
This might be part of your struggle, perhaps, as those kinds of things ("product did x y and z, I wrote it by myself, it's still in use", etc.) fall into the "solved a problem" category (valuable, don't get me wrong) rather than the "built a clean, maintainable system" category ("100% test coverage, followed sem ver and git flow, maintained a 7+ on pylint, used these design patterns", etc.).

Folks in the latter category don't need 6 months for any Python-based system. Folks in the former category are useful in certain ways, but difficult to plug into a larger team, and if companies know enough to know they need a "Python" developer, that's because someone technical already picked Python, and the position is to work with at least that one other technical person.

It's likely similar with JS, Ruby, and other "newer" languages that have reputations for being "easy to pick up".

> aes(x='np.log(B - A)')

I never understood the pattern of putting source code in a string. Why not just use np.log(B - A) directly and configure the function to accept columns? With strings you lose highlighting, semantic analysis from editors, as well as the ability to know what computations are happening when and where. There seems to be no point and significant drawback to this, what's the rationale?
> So either the Innocence Project is racially biased (DNA evidence) or our judicial system is racially biased.

Context would be nice, looked through it baffled until I realized this was a port of the Grammar of Graphics to Python to work and look exactly like Hadley's ggplot.

Yep they are. Onions and garlic family vegetables too. Eggs/fish/meat simply have much higher concentrations.

Pakistan's obstinately humble hero Edhi dies at 92
It does work great in the UK and Norway. Very, very few countries have unarmed police.

I'm Norwegian and I live in the UK, and while I think the US would have been in a much better place if the US had followed a similar policy a long time ago ("US conditions" is a standing term in Norwegian politics used to scare voters - almost nobody wants "US conditions" in almost any context), I still think the US would find it extremely hard to introduce such a policy now.

It works in Norway and the UK for a number of reasons:

* Low sentences for crimes without weapons combined with huge additional sentences if using a weapon. E.g. you could easily get 4-5 years for participation in a relatively serious robbery, but risk tacking on up to 10 extra for an armed robbery.

* Criminals rarely risk meeting armed resistance. Lots of people have weapons, but the weapons law requires weapons to be stored locked down in an inoperable state (so detach a part and lock it down in a different location).

* Criminals know very well that if they are reported to be likely to be armed, they will face a large manhunt with armed police, while if they don't carry a weapon anyone coming after them will be hunting them without firarms.

The problem with introducing this elsewhere is that you have an existing situation where criminals have a strong incentive to arms themselves, which in turn maintains a strong incentive for other people and police to be armed. Changing that around without the risk of a lot of harm in the process would be incredibly challenging.

Really?

Given that the vast majority of violence is white-on-white or black-on-black, are you seriously suggesting that the police are spending _more_ of their time and resources investigating murders of blacks than of whites?

The vast majority of the unsolved murders are inner-city, where often the police don't care who kills whom. The vast majority of the murders in the suburbs, in otherwise peaceful neighborhoods, get tons of police attention.

So no, I think it is is exceedingly unlikely that the actual homicide rate skews more white than the statistics show.
Buffer overruns and double frees are things you can have a high degree of confidence won't happen. Even then, the bindings to libsodium are, by necessity, unsafe, and bugs can hide there.

NB: The meteoroligist plotted the trip, he has not (and likely will not) made it.
The second "conspiracy theory" explanation presented in the article seems the simplest and most plausible:

Close associates of the administration are major holders of the country’s bonds and...the government fears it’d lose their much-needed support if the payments stopped coming in. Efforts to obtain comment from government press officials on this and other aspects of the story were unsuccessful.

Either that, or debt-holding institutions are willing to kick back a fraction of coupon payments to high ranking officials as an incentive to keep the payments flowing for as long as possible before a civil war or coup forces a restructuring.

Either way, servicing the debt is keeping government officials paid to the detriment of their starving countrymen.
The overwhelming majority --- almost 70% --- of the growth of incarceration from 1995 to 2013 comes from harsher prosecution of violent and property crimes. We should reform drug prohibition simply for humanitarian reasons, but we should not delude ourselves that the solution for police violence or violent crime will come from changing the rules about drugs.
The article is fixated on the economic benefits of default, as if economic decisions were only ever decided by economics! Maduro's government is authoritarian and violently imposed. What internal political factors does this dictatorship think preclude the possibility of default? Would default be signaling weakness to competing forces within the country? Is humiliation on the international stage a threat to the ruling party's self image?

Violent dictatorships are seldom rational.

This article is also written with the tacit acceptance of neoliberal ideology: The only rational choice for an impoverished nation is to submit to foreign capital and governmental institutions and sell the country for the chance to become another dependent market that will bear the brunt of the next global credit crisis and coercive trade deal.

I do like that Atlas has encrypted storage option and provides TLS connections at no additional cost. Mlab, you have to pay extra (I think it is silly that you are charged extra for SSL connections for a web service).

Also, Atlas appears a lot cheaper than Mlab.

And, Atlas has more fine grained configuration of storage size.
