Then that academic can make a company out of it, and charge $2000/hr. :)

The issue is academics cashing in on their research. I think this is fine in general. Having been through grad school I've worked with professors who I felt placed their entrepreneurial endeavors ahead of their educational requirements. This is an ugly practice. Ethical standards need to be in place to address this. If you're primarily conducting business using your academic credentials, then relinquish your chair to someone else, and take up some "fluff" title and pay your grad students out of your own kitty. Also, pay the university for the non-human resources you use, because it's like you're a hairstylist renting a chair in a salon to obtain and service clients.

I think this is primarily the reason why there's a generation of postdocs sitting on the sidelines waiting for a full professorship. They eventually get bored (and hungry) and move into the private sector, robbing academia of fresh blood and new ideas. So a de facto privatization of research emerges. We all lose when this gets out of hand.
No it isn't.

A better way to state that:

"Is jQuery omnipresent now? Yes.

Will jQuery earn you as much money as on the peak of first gen webapps craze? No, totally no"

I myself was earning CAD $90k just in plain salary at the time when jQuery craze was on its peak and when "a dedicated front-end developer" meant a jQuery developer

Honestly saying, I had no realisation how shitty my code was back then, and now I feel ridiculous when I realise how much a bad dev can earn as long as he does something considered "trendy"
Yeah it does feel abrupt. My guess is that Google only cares about getting the minimal representation needed to guess at the object, even it's incomplete or missing details.
Makes sense! I'm working on a second draft of the book right now, and it's making that stuff more clear. http://rust-lang.github.io/book/ is the draft; the lifetimes bit hasn't landed yet though.
Not trying to be edgy, but it strikes me as odd that, once you remove the obvious historic legacy and economic benefits to government, problem gambling is legal in 2016, but recreational drugs are not.
It kinda looks like Transmetropolitan in style. Are they similar?

I love hearing Russ Roberts of econ talk (http://www.econtalk.org/), but he's almost always interviewing someone. It would be cool to hear him because (1) he interviews a lot of people who either write about or are involved in building the future (automation, driverless cars, sharing economy, etc.), and (2) he has a different perspective on how to approach problems making him interesting to listen to.
What's the feeling on them preferring 256-bit AES over 128-bit AES?

That said, yeah, I hear you. It can still be tough sometimes. At some point, I'd love to work with some sort of information design / UX person to totally re-do rustdoc's output. There's a surprising number of thorny problems there. But there's always so much to do...
(I'm the co-founder/CEO.) We're hoping to make the developer experience of Skyliner comparable, and eventually better, than Heroku, because they have done so well on that front. There are plenty of other tools that are essentially automation for API access to AWS; we're trying to do something different, making the operation of infrastructure as easy (or easier than) as the other part of Amazon.

Where I think we really differ from Heroku is in approach. Instead of a fully-enclosed platform that adds a tax for each cloud resource you use, we want to be an abstraction of AWS that allows you to break through that abstraction when needed. There are over 50 AWS products, and we don't support them all yet. If you need to use Redshift or API Gateway or whatever else, we want to make it easy for you to get up to speed in just that one product, and hook it into your Skyliner resources. Your alternatives should not be so stark as "fully managed, no control" versus "a box of Legos, figure it out."

Finally, we're focused on building a resilient architecture for growth. We want it to be easy and obvious how your starting infrastructure can support your company growing to be as successful as you're able to be. If a platform gets you started but then falls over when you have a good day, that's not a big help. Our goal is to provide tools that work as well on your first day as on your best day.

Hope that helps. marc@skyliner.io if I can answer anything else.
Do you think there is a difference between a probabilistic near-miss - say, being dealt 4/5 cards to a royal - and a machine that already decided you lost and in attempt to tempt you, grabs 4/5 to a royal and shows them to you knowing full well you wont win ?

Personally I have no problems with upgradeability as I tend to use my electronics until their last breath and I have no need and I am too cheap to upgrade. Without any upgradeability it means if something breaks - toss it to the bin. It is not ecological, nor sustainable.

I loath Apple's power bricks - cable torn even though you cared it like a baby? Toss it to the bin. I really hope that they try to fix cables for bricks sent under warranty and sell as refurbished, otherwise it's incredibly wastefull.
I was following you, but the "my self included" part gave it a more serious tone.
I think the left tends to deal in half truths or highly questionable interpretations of facts passed off as facts, while the right deals more in outright lies.

But the left has the ability to get you fired if you question their assertions too much. So their falsehoods are actually more effective
It's not a useful redefinition. Certainly, degree of power affects the impact of racism, but there is always some power involved in any prejudice, and even prejudice by members of a generally disadvantaged group against members of a generally advantaged group will end up manifesting in contexts where the individuals involved are in different power relationships than the group power dynamics in the broader society would suggest.

In fact, the redefinition is often invoked to justify as not-racist acts that are racist even in terms of the redefinition when the context of the action is considered, because it's usually coupled with a misdirection about power relations in a different, usually broader, context than is relevant to the action in question.

Avoiding the redefinition entirely and talking about racial bigotry and the power relations which magnify it's impacts as distinct and interacting things, rather than trying to set an arbitrary standard of what degree of the latter is necessary for the former to deserve to be called racism is far more productive, if not as convenient for providing certain racists cover.
All I can say about this is the following: I used to take a lot of vitamin I (ibuprofen). I've had some knee issues resulting in chronic pain dating back to my teens, and I always used Ibuprofen. And, yes, to be honest, at times I took more than the recommended (OTC) dose, and took it for longer periods of time than you're supposed to.

Then I noticed that they changed the warning labels to point out the increased risk of heart attack from regular use of Ibuprofen.

Then I had a heart attack.

And all of my doctors (GP, cardiologist, etc.) suggested I quit taking Ibuprofen.

Hrrmmm... to be fair, in the case of any individual, they can never really say exactly why you had an MI when and where you did. And I was a little overweight at the time, but I had very few other risk factors. I never smoked, had no family history of early heart attacks, and I was only 41.

So did Ibuprofen play a role? We'll never know, but I'm following my doctor's advice and not taking it anymore. I'd recommend anyone who uses Ibuprofen frequently consider having a chat with their doctor and think hard about the various risk factors involved.
Regardless there is no overhead for lifetimes. It is a data flow analysis problem used solely to verify correctness of the code.

Yup. We definitely will cover more than YC companies and success stories.

Fwiw, I do like the success stories but prefer a longer interview (90 min+) because you get a real sense of the person vs the PR version of them/their company.
So, at the risk of feeding the troll still further...

What I meant by "big guns" is that the equipment the theoretical occupying force would have access to that the insurgents wouldn't, like rocket launchers. The stuff like grenades and LMGs are things that can be substituted--to some degree or another--by things like Molotov cocktails or hi-capacity magazines.

"Countermeasures to things like mortars and counterbattery fire" is not some special doctrine utterly beyond the reach of American populace; instead, it's the observation that, if you shell an American position, you need to be somewhere else in a minute or two before your position gets blown up. This is something that is quite empirically learnable, and something that has been learned multiple times by untrained insurgents fighting US occupying forces.

> the assumption that the military loses its entire support system all at once.

Where are you getting that assumption from? I made no such claim.

> I think you believe in an organizational capacity that doesn't actually exist in untrained civiliian populations

I think you live in a fantasy world where civilian populations both have no trained members (false) and are unable to improvise and learn tactics of their own through trial and error (also false).

You keep coming back to the same circular "I define the civilian population as incompetent and worse than the military, therefore they are incompetent and worse than the military", despite a lot of evidence and arguments that your assumption is wrong and your conclusions incorrect.

If you want to actually pull on your big kid pants and argue why each of my points in the preceding post were wrong, please do. If you just want to continue shitting out little paragraph-long "but but but civilians populations are always going to looose" zingers lacking any critical thought, we've all got better things to do.

You are a creationist so it is likely your moral and emotional need to believe in God is biasing and corrupting your understanding of science.

> Consider, for example, the "lost squadron" of WWII. These planes were discovered over 200 feet deep under many layers of ice. Therefore, they must be many thousands of years old, right?

This is straight from the Institute of Creation Research, known Liars for Jesus. This nonsense is dealt with here http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD410.html. In short, ice layers are counted by many different methods and no one thinks that 200 feet deep automatically means thousands of years old.

I think it's still super userful.

I'm an Ember developer myself, and I love it, but there's no way in hell I'd use it for a small website. For that matter, I wouldn't use React or Angular 1.x either (I haven't had to do any project in Angular 2.x yet, so I don't really have an informed opinion yet).

So, that out of the way, next up is jQuery, which I think is still a perfect fit for smaller projects. The fact that you can just use it, without having to worry about any real initial prep-work, or having to compile anything, is almost kind of magical in this day and age.
I suspect they're referring to graphs of Drop implementors, based on the sibling thread. If you for some reason have a linked-sea-of-nodes data structure that has to traverse itself on drop, that can behave similarly to dropping an Rc graph, though it still doesn't use lifetimes.
Carnegie Mellon Spinoff Helps Users Tackle Ever-Larger Problems
On 2016 Apple: What do “Pro” users want?
OP here. I'm actually surprised that you saw this post. It was flagged almost immediately, and I didn't realize until now that it was un-flagged. It was flagged long enough, I suppose, to bury it, though.

I posted it after the election had finished, and it was announced that Trump won. I found it humorous and interesting that the "mathematically impossible" outcome had happened. The only logical conclusion is that either numbers lie, or the fundamental assumption (upon which the conclusion was based) was wrong.

DraftKings and FanDuel to Merge
Let me try to make this simple, because I think you want to, and can, understand what I'm saying.

I'm saying this article quotes the NSA using language condemning what Russia allegedly did.

I'm saying, if we want to condemn this type of behavior we should:

A) Define why it is bad in a general sense (not in the context of a controversial president)

B) Ensure that if we agree it's an morally unacceptable or malicious process, that our acronym agencies do not do this same behavior to other countries (otherwise we are hypocrites and they will quite rightly feel they have justification to retaliate in kind)

And my last paragraph suggests that those in positions of authority are too-close-to-see-it, and that perhaps these distinctions on what is "cyber warfare" and what is "revealing the truth" should be made by congress in unambiguous and neutral fashion.
since recreational drugs make gambling that much more fun, you'd think casinos would be lobbying for legalization.
That might work. The "cage" would be more like a sleeve in the region of the arm - just creeping out on the arm like a mesh tube (or even continuous foil tube) to protect the wires, electronics, and motors. A small hole would allow the motor hub to stick out of the cage, and the prop would be on top of that, outside the cage.

Heck, all the wires, electronics, and motors could be inside the "arm". Then coat that with some EM shield material (like a metal foil).

I like it.

Of course, from "like it" to "it's actually effective" there's still the nagging little field test to perform. It's the old shell-vs-armor game, since EM radiation has a penetration depth - Faraday cages are not magically 100% effective, make a thin enough one, and a powerful EMP would still do some damage inside. So now you need to carry thicker, heavier EMP armor.
> I don't know any country that has a limit on how much alcohol you can buy at a time (most have age restrictions, some have time and place restrictions, some won't sell you if you are already drunk),

Similar, but different, the UK does restrict the amount of non-prescription pain killers you can buy. I once tried to buy five packets of Nurofen (Ibuprofen) from a supermarket and was restricted to just two packets. I simply went to the next supermarket up the road and bought two more packets.

If there was a limit on how much alcohol people could buy at one time, wouldn't they just do the same thing?
People wear sunglasses on the top of their head, behind their head, etc. all the time. When they do that with Spectacles, they won't be directly pointing at the people they're talking to. So there's a potential for privacy-respecting etiquette with Spectacles- I have them on my forehead, I can't be recording you. Dunno if that was ever possible with Google Glass.
This is fascinating at looking at how people create abstractions for things. Also funny how sometimes people just give up and write words as that's the best way to label whatever they were given to draw. Lastly I'm surprised at how hard it was for me personally to imagine some of the things given even though I would be able to recognize them in an instant, even from the drawings here.
Sorry, I should have been clear. We don't run brand lift studies on Facebook. We run direct response and lead generation ads and optimize for conversions. We run brand lift studies for clients who spend millions on display advertising. As these advertisers run these ads to raise brand awareness, they're similar to an advertiser running Facebook ads to spread awareness in terms of goals.

And thanks, I knew about that, but without any kind of information about the spend level required to get a Facebook rep, it's hard to justify increasing spend for the purpose of getting our view tags whitelisted.
But if we accept the premise that "it's acceptable in some cases to have unwrap() in code that targets 'production'" then it wouldn't make sense to have a production profile that bars its use. The word "production" is in the global namespace and I think you want something more specific to your use case.

Rather, one could define a rust coding guide for themselves that deems unwrap() inappropriate for production use. (and in that case use the lint Steve suggests).
I stand corrected, I forgot about resonance.
He might also have been running off his past credit score. He was making 6-figures for decades, spending heavily on presumably his credit card, and always paid his bills. If the bank doesn't see the embezzled funds he was spending (and why would they when the funds belonged to the company), he probably looked like a great credit risk: a high-flying executive with a long sterling history who would no doubt get another great job after a few months of negotiation and had plenty of assets.
I had to look up cognitive dissonance, but I suppose that fits. I had an emotional response and a logical response, and they were in conflict. I had to actually physically list out all of the things that I liked about Clinton vs. what I didn't like to make a rational decision. By far, my list was in favor of Clinton. So, that my emotions said otherwise was odd.
I had same feeling.

I thought 3D in browser is in far future. But their current stage really surprised me.
Exactly. This is what happened last year around the same time, when they announced new versions of TypeScript, and the introduction of VSCode, etc. etc. etc.

Not complaining, it's great to see what Microsoft has been up to summarized in a single day or two, rather than a trickling of news that I might lose over a span of a year. It's a bit spammy, but since they moved to supporting Open Source, the announcements really check a lot of boxes for me.
The Climate Fixers: Is there a technological solution to global warming? (2012)
Given that there's still never been anything like a proper investigation into the matter, that seems to be an odd thing to say. In any case various international experts have stated that there is a viable case for war crimes to be made, based on the video evidence.
Email Markup in Gmail
Good question. It's honestly been too many years for me to remember. But, with a bit of a biased view on it because of having such a good experience with it so long ago, I imagine it either does, or provides the mechanism for the developer to implement it.
I must say Google handles it well. I'm searching with these terms quite often and Google knows .NET == dotnet ~ C# and finds results without much problems.
We just elected a Twitter troll for president.
I agree. Even if they decided to keep everything as x86, just rebuilding the COM pieces would boost performance.
.unwrap() is only the right choice if you need to optimize for binary size and can't afford the cost of the precise error message you would pass to .expect(). There are situations where you can't possibly continue running the application if an error occurs, but you shouldn't rely on a backtrace (which you might not manage to capture, e.g. if RUST_BACKTRACE is unset or you don't have symbols) as your only method of communication with your future self.
I guess that would make sense, but I'm not sure it's lifetime-specific though. C++ doesn't have lifetimes but would still have this problem.
You could, but you don't get the same experience or UI kit as you do with Visual Studio. Which is fine if you want to develop cross-platform apps, or you just care about developing apps for macOS.
Top speed of the 2015 Mustang GT is 164 mph. 200+ would require pretty serious modifications.

I agree that making unwrap/expect silently ... not happen will just cause worse problems.

As a writer who just included a plot device of providing a loaded USB flash drive as temptation for a target to pick up and plug into their computer and deliver a payload, I'm exceptionally pleased this device reaffirms the risk of malware being deployed by way of USB ports. From time to time it's hard as a writer to try and pick tech and things that hopefully won't sound dated, or if they eventually do, will at least fit within a specific story's time-place-world-setting.
>The pessimist's take: there was a lot to improve.

This is the rational take. The prior results were completely out of scale with competing solutions, running two magnitudes slower. Someone finally fired up a profiler and probably found some dramatic issues, fixed them, and boom people who relied upon the project before, it turns out, were having a grossly under-delivering result. And at the new 859x faster speed, it's still 1/2 the speed of a competitor.

So I'm not sure what the take from it is. It is held as a positive, but to me it sounds more like it's a token project.
A good idea executed poorly is still executed poorly.
