>Rust's type system is wonderful, and it's a real productivity boost.

Rust type system is verbose compared to higher level languages and it lacks a lot of the things that make higher level languages productive. It just focuses on low level code - which is good - but you wouldn't use it in place of C#, you would use it instead of C++, and you don't want to write GUI code in C++ either (even Qt uses JS for the frontend)

>My favorite being the data-race free parallelism.

Also mostly irrelevant in front end since you're dealing with single threaded event loops and doing parallel work that talks to UI thread is easy. Stuff that needs to do work in parallel can be written in Rust and talk to front end via FFI or RPC.

I found it really good, if you haven't, just read it and experience it for yourself. For me couple of things really stuck:

- choose carefully what you give a f*ck about, but when you do, do it right

- there will always be problems, deal with them and move on, it's your own responsibility.

- the constant pursuit of a positive experience is in itself a negative experience, acceptance of a negative experience is a positive experience

I hate the sea, and everything in it.
Jira's can be very unwieldy. It is a hard one to google answers for and the Python interface is practically undocumented. It's seems to be often out-performed by the site itself.
It's a design trade off. I don't get why people are so pissy about it - Rust makes design choices that are suited for low level systems programming language - but it has a lot of noise and complicated things from high level language stand point, and compile times + debugging + lack of run time tweak-ability make it very unproductive for front end compared to say TS/JS

> Where? In New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, the only people who do that are begging, preaching, or rambling incoherently.

Agree with the other replies to you; I've had lovely chats with people on the subway in literally all three of the cities when I've visited. Also at the laundromat, or at a bar, at a museum, and other places.

> ...did any of those people exchange contact information or form any lasting connection?

I never made a lifelong friend from these conversations (though I have received business cards or other contact info), but I got a sense that I mattered to a stranger, even if only for a little bit. That's certainly part of what the article is talking about.

> The mood afterword is "can you believe that creep?" not "wow aren't we so connected!"

I can genuinely tell you that many conversations I've had did not end with either side thinking the other was creepy.

Of course, I've avoided conversations with people who I felt were creepy. Typically, these conversations happen when the person is speaking to me and I've given pretty clear body and vocal language that I am not interested in speaking.

I do my best to initiate chatting only with people who show interest in talking. Having an idea of who's interested in that takes practice, and some other identification skill I have a hard time describing, but which would likely fit the definition of "emotional intelligence."

Here's a little chestnut similar to what btmorex mentioned:

A young couple moved to a new town, and upon driving up to their new home for the first time, saw their neighbors outside. After a few pleasantries, the young couple asked, "So, we're wondering, what are the people like around here? Is it a good place to live?"

The neighbor paused, then said, "What were your neighbors like at your last town?"

The young couple agreed, "they were great!"

The neighbor, audibly relieved, said, "well they'll be great here, too."

What you look for and expect from others will greatly color your experiences. I figure most people are generally friendly, and I tend to be able to recognize when someone wants to chat... and they likely see my desire for a friendly chat, too.

I guess they are not the first.

There is a company from Israel that deployed 10 years ago algoritms to score if people was lying, or angry when people called the police.

And it makes sense.

Anything that helps you triage when you have limited resources it's a good idea.

And any tool that suggest deterrent actions to keep your resources is also a good idea (ie police near a metro station next to a stadium hours before a sports event so pickpocketers don't come nearby).

For me the weakest point is not the technical part (mechanisms), is how you use them (policies).

I mean, you need some policy to trigger reactions to signals. And since policies are made by human people, that has more bias than any algorithm you can ever produce, plus and policy changes will surely affect how the "system" works and how it needs retraining.

So, unless this is used for very simple stuff with simple policies it won't work.
One of the things we'll do is to make sure everyone can replicate the idea to production flow, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25986

A friend travelling in China was shocked to discover that the government there apparently shares your identification documents with private businesses. Her passport scan was on the screen in some random shop (IIRC she saw it on a screen behind the counter when she went to pay).

Also, when you apply for a travel visa in China, you have to tell the government exactly where you're travelling within China (e.g. x days in Beijing, x days in Shanghai), and who you're going to stay with (names, addresses). It's designed to prevent foreign journalists from digging up dirt, especially around election years (they increase the visa fee and make a double entry visa more awkward during these times, so journalists travelling between mainland China and places like Hong Kong will find it more difficult).

Are you joking ? You can have hot module replacement in TypeScript meaning you don't even have to refresh the page to get new code in browser - and then you can fire up the REPL and prototype stuff - Rust has to go trough rebuild+redeploy on every iteration - you're saying that's the same speed ?

I'm not addressing the claim of this article, just the methods.

IQ has a misleading (and factually inaccurate) name. The Q stands for quotient, but an actual IQ is not a quotient at all. IQs are ordinal ONLY. They allow you (to the extent that IQ tests measure intelligence) to rank people, not assign numerical values. It is not possible from IQ scores to say "Alice is x% more intelligent than Bob", only "Alice is more intelligent than Bob".

Due to the non-cardinal nature of IQ scores, the correlation with income as reported in the article isn't something that you can really do. To do this, we would need a cardinal measurement of intelligence instead.

> And sometimes it comes later in life.

And more and more often, it does not come at all. The effective noblesse oblige of, say, the New England rich is by-and-large dead outside of New England in favor of a very exploitative, plantation-society-esque Southern "liberty".

There are enclaves where this isn't the case. It's hard to call San Francisco one, because the city and its very, very rich residents have done all they could to chase the poors away. (It is one of many reasons I refuse to consider living there.)

>But there is another side to Rust which is even more interesting - a type system that is almost as powerful as those of functional languages like OCaml and Haskell, but wrapped in approachable imperative syntax.

That type system is pretty verbose because it's aimed at manual memory management which you don't really care about in front end, and the compile times are huge compared to say TypeScript or something along those lines so yeah - I agree static typing is nice - but saying you should use Rust for front-end because it has static typing is like saying every gardener should have an excavator because digging holes with hands sucks - shovels exist.
Yeah, my experience is now 20 years old, but it looks like (to your sibling comments' point) the NMS amount has only gone up a little in that time—to $10k. Meanwhile, tuition+fees (at least at my alma mater) has gone up by over 75% during that time.

I am still sceptical about AmazonGo.

2. How will it work in a crowded store as it's quite possible that the product will end up if a different account?

Everyone wants to build a package manager these days because OS-wide package managers don't provide the same feature set that language-specific package managers do.
It is not equally powerful, but Java's approach is easure. This means that at compile time the language can differentiate List<String> and List<Buffer>, and will type check them correctly, but at runtime the generic type gets "erased" and all the code turns into List<Object> (where in Java all types derive from Object).

As a result, there do not need to be multiple specializations of the List type for strings and buffers. No matter how many different parameterizations there are of a given generic class, there is only one implementation. I think this is probably a good thing most of the time, since on average the performance gains of this form of specialization are insignificant compared to the costs of code size. You wouldn't want 100 or more different implementations of List clogging memory and needing to be JIT-compiled.

One of Java's constraints is also that all generic types are reference types. So one reason why it wouldn't be too useful to instantiate separate List<String> and List<Buffer> is because these are basically just List<ReferenceToObject> anyway. C++ templates can provide both value and reference semantics, and can work on primitive types such as `int` which may reside on the stack, whereas Java generics only operate on full-fledged garbage collected objects that are dynamically allocated on the heap.

The disadvantage of this approach is that it precludes some constructs that are possible in other languages. For example, in C++ a template method could take some type `T` and construct a new instance of it. In C++ you could do this, but in Java it's not legal:

<T> T broken() { return new T(); }

In C++ you could also create a new local variable of type `T` that will be allocated on the stack. This `T` can represent anything from a primitive `int` to a complex struct or class, or a point or reference to a dyanmically allocated object. The C++ code could then dynamically allocate a new instance of `T`.

This makes it more difficult to use implement generic programming patterns analogous to things like std::allocator in C++, and to deliberately specify different implementations of parameterized types and algorithms. Fortunately these are not too significant of practical downsides in Java.

And the vast majority of those were clearly justified (suspect being armed and posing an obvious threat threat.)

Police are far from perfect but they also have to deal with people on a daily basis who are quite literally the dregs of society: where "F--- you pig!" is as common as "Thank you Officer."

As far as inbuilt racial bias -- have you spent time on the streets? You tell me what the percentages are for a crime being committed among different racial and ethnic groups.

Hi Tom, yes, but mobile apps don't make a website work offline on windows, linux or osx unless you are proposing the Android app can be run through Chrome APK welder (if it works). But even if that were the case, I think the current Android/iOS apps don't allow you to asynchronously play chess, but only offline against the AI. Scenario's would be having a spotty or on/off connection for example, or playing one turn/hour or day. Progressive web apps can work offline and sync the state back to the cloud when online.

Damn Second Life, has been a long time since I heard anything about that.
I can definitely relate. I'm not rich, but I do alright. I have a high IQ (according to "official" tests available), but I don't feel I'm smarter than anyone.

I however do feel that I'm lazy, and have "cheated" my way through life by cunning rather than legitimately solving problems the way they're "supposed" to. I guess that's a skill in its own right, but it's made it harder for me to actually learn new stuff because my brain wants to get by with as little work as possible.

I have to agree that Spacemacs is seriously complex. I first cam to it because I wanted to try Emacs coming from Vim/nvim but it suffered from prettt bad load times, a bad C/C++ story and a leaky abstraction over packages. I'm the end I configured Emacs from vanilla (with Evil mode!) and I've had a much better time. I've also picked up quite a bit of elisp, which is much much much better than VimL.

Arguably more importantly, I can lift and shift kubernetes and put it in any cloud or on-premise.

Kids are great. I have 3 kids and to me it is nothing like a prison sentence. I love watching them grow up, it is taking me back to the happiness and carelessness of my own childhood every day. It also gives me a sense of purpose that I would have never found without kids and what I gave up in freedom is made up in love, affection and just plain fun.

Based on my experience I am 100% convinced that people that can't find joy in the happiness of others should remain single and even more important: never, ever have kids.
