"Inside the community" isn't a very strong argument in my opinion, because there is a strong bias. Folks "inside the community" are developing Rust packages because they really, really enjoy it. This is much different from having a mature language where folks who aren't as gung-ho about it develop things (out of curiosity, because work made them, etc.).

I understand there's a recognition of the problem, and I think it's great that it's on the radar.
Live coverage: SpaceX counting down to launch
For comparison, the reactor described here outputs 50 megawatts, and is 15 feet in diameter and 76 feet long (~54,000 cubic feet).

The S6G reactor in Los Angeles class submarines outputs 150 megawatts and is 33 feet in diameter and 42 feet long (~144,000 cubic feet).
No, that's not true.

The history section of the wikipedia entry on rails says: "Hansson first released Rails as open source in July 2004, but did not share commit rights to the project until February 2005."[1]

The very second sentence of the wikipedia article on CakePHP is: " It follows the model–view–controller (MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License."[2]

Then, in the fourth paragraph: "One of the project's inspirations was Ruby on Rails, using many of its concepts. "

Cars going too fast in town, even if they aren't killing children, intimidate pedestrians and cyclists. Speeding cars muscle people not in cars out of the street. You can't also predict bad luck. There's always a change that a drunk stumbles in the street or a dog sprints across. Slower drivers may be able to stop in time, faster drivers won't. Plus, it's bad form, driving too fast for conditions is uncivilized and sets a bad example.

Cars could go faster on highways as long as they're respectful of other drivers who might not go as fast, why not. But driving too fast in town is criminal, just as bad as waving your rifle around when going hunting.

And to be clear, drivers are bad judges of what constitutes a safe speed. fwiw, it's often much lower than the speed limit.
A spinning disk iirc draws something like 15w. That's essentially true whether you've got a 1TB drive or an 8 TB drive. And it's only that high while the drive is spun up.

They are bulkier, but ultimately an SSD is going to need space and servers too.

It's not a competition at this point. SSDs are good if you need low latency or high IOPS, HDDs are good if small delays and low IOPS is acceptable, and tape is good if you don't mind waiting several minutes to get the data.

TCO drops significantly from SSD to HDD, and significantly again from HDD to tape. And a large, modern datacenter will frequently have massive amounts of all three.
It'd be awesome if this could be coded and decoded in javascript in realtime so you could do extremely low bandwidth podcasts (1,3 megabyte per half an hour) and play them in a browser or send them by e-mail. With HCCB color coding (Microsoft Tag) you could back that up on an A4 and send it by mail!
Good question; to me _ has no obvious meaning. And in general Java is verbose - ie. the keyword for private is "private" rather than some shorthand or symbol. Maybe they should just not use it.

In reality, yes. But technically the monarch can veto any Act of Parliament and appoint anyone as PM, though this would last about a day until there was a 'revolution' and the monarch was formally stripped of power.

To layer on another anecdote: fairly recently, I was financially insecure for the first time in my adult life. It was the most stressed and awful that I've ever felt. I was sort of numb and lethargic all the time. I dunno, I might have seemed lazy to the people around me.

I won't suggest that I know anything more than my personal experience, but it definitely gave me a lot more perspective on what it's like to be persistently unsettled about the future.

No, the transport size of the reactor isn't the apple. It would need other equipment to operate.

Here they do say ~90 acres for 1 GW (I read 0.14 sq mi in the thumbnail, the video doesn't load), so still vastly less area than solar:

They probably don't scale down well though (like if some of the area is setback).

This article is basically, "VR gets a vote of confidence from YC". That's good to know, but:

Although McLeod is a law professor, some of his legal claims have already been disputed by Orin Kerr on the Volokh Conspiracy.[1] He has published constitutional law nonsense before, and once accused a federal judge of 'tyranny' for upholding the Fourteenth Amendment argument that succeeded in Obergefell v. Hodges.[2] It is surprising to see so many commenters uncritically endorsing his conclusions. His main complaint seems to be:

> [S]everal states have created an entirely novel phylum of law: the civil violation of a criminal prohibition. Using this nifty device, a city can charge you of a crime without any witnesses, without any probable cause determination, and without any civil due process.

But McLeod never explains what this actually means, and goes on to describe an ordinary criminal trial where he was acquitted after the prosecution failed to prove its case to the required standard. While the focus on the trial suggests that he is complaining about criminal procedure, the real purpose of the article seems to be to deny the legitimacy of traffic cameras as a law enforcement mechanism. The vaguely-described contractual arrangements sound concerning, but he doesn't give any supporting evidence and those contracts weren't the subject of his case.

Traffic cameras are common in the rest of the developed world and can be used consistently with the rule of law. This may involve the legislature infringing the rights of accused people by shifting the burden, or reducing the standard, of proof. That's something we should be careful about doing, but when the maximum penalty is a modest fine, sometimes it makes sense to qualify the accused's rights in order to save money on wasteful inquiries into trivial misdemeanours. This kind of balancing of rights and interests is routine in constitutional law. The Due Process Clause does prevent U.S. state governments from reversing the burden of proof in some criminal cases[3] – but this is not axiomatic, and McLeod didn't even show that the issue arose in his case.

The more something is like ourselves, the harder it is to attack it with chemicals. Our cells are very similar in nature to a lot of protozoan parasites, so the drugs that may treat them are pretty toxic to ourselves. Bacteria and fungi are much less like our cells, and they have a lot of unique features such as peptidoglycan or ergosterol in the cell wall, therefore they can be attacked with chemicals that are less toxic. Animals, such as insects and nematodes, that have diverged significantly away from our common origin, have evolved new features that we do not share, and we can attack those. Some organisms of interest to (veterinary) medicine, such as Leishmania and Pythium, are very difficult to treat.

I can only state what the law requires here, in DE. It requires you to know that (but admittedly you're usually going to get a picture with the first request for information, so it's mostly a matter of "Hey Joe, you've got a new mugshot!" and passing it to the right one of five) and has ways to "motivate" you if you fail this in a harsh case or repeatedly.

Which is fair in my book: You own the car, you are responsible for it. You're not on the hook for offenses that you didn't cause. But you were careless with your car if nobody steps forward after an incident.

yes! imho, that's the noteworthy aspect of this story. those two features (Andy Rubin. small team.) of the original Android platform are going to try again? the track record is not great. if Google hadn't bought it and used its vast powers to promote the thing, would it even still exist?

But has Python 3 Unicode-aware string-length rather than byte-length functions (+ substring, case-folding, character classification functions etc.) for dealing with this? If it hasn't then nothing really is achieved for the general case by switching to 4-byte or any other fixed-byte unit, including the case of dealing with HTML 5 text.

Interesting. Is there a website with a database where people can claim which apps have been removed from the App Store just for historical sake, or to reference to?
I don't think he's arguing that the language designers are the ones that need to be curating crates, he just brought up Python as an example of some sort of curation happening in a similar ecosystem. It's the community at large that needs to be more active about identifying and signaling which crates should be preferred to provide particular functionality.

I don't think you even need to just pick one crate for a particular functionality - narrowing the field down from 23 to a handful with well-understood strengths and drawbacks would be a good start.
I think the savings come from modulatization. The first reactor needs an expensive plant, but dropping in a second or third at the same location, into the same tank, would cost much less.
A lot of it might just be timing. Dev Bootcamp (the original bootcamp?) started up when Rails was the cool kid on the block, and it was a break out success. They proved there was a market, and the busy model was easy to clone. A bunch of Rails bootcamp copycats popped almost immediately.
In regards to cheap whiteboxes, no such options allow access to GPIO ports.

The parallel port on older PCs works reasonably well as GPIO; you can get expansion cards for those which don't have one (they seem to have gone up in price now but they used to be extremely cheap.) Since this is an actual external interface it will be more robust than the GPIOs directly connected to the SoC of the RPi, and if you use expansion cards you can just swap them out if they do get damaged.
Ask HN: For small dev shops when or how do you tell employees what clients pay?
The denial letter looked like it was making two separate, independent eligibility determinations. One, for CoveredCA insurance and one for MediCal. I was denied by CoveredCA because my monthly income was $0, which would normally push me towards MediCal. But I was denied by MediCal because I made six figures in both months that I reported taxable income.

The MediCal denial makes sense. I don't see why I should have the state pay the entirety of my medical insurance costs when I'm making that much money. I also would like more choice when it comes to my doctor and treatment than MediCal allows and I'm willing to pay for it. The CoveredCA part is baffling to me. Why I'm not allowed to purchase health insurance with no premium assistance because I don't have a steady income leads me to believe that the ACA is poorly-written legislation.
I would recommend not giving that advice, and recommend that all your customers upgrade. There are a number of ways to exploit this, and as stated elsewhere on this thread Red Hat's advice that SeLinux entirely mitigates this is not correct, it is highly likely that it can be exploited on Cloud Foundry too. I would never advise people to not upgrade software when there is a CVE because someone says there is a mitigation, it is very high risk.

Disclosure: I worked on testing the fixes for this CVE.
>Take the first letter, d, for example. That's not a d like you would understand it in other latin-letter-based languages. It's actually more like a t. And actually it's not even like a t, it's more like an unaspirated t.

That issue is by no means unique to pinyin. "S" and "W" in German sound more like "Z" and "V" in English. Colloquial French has half a dozen ways of pronouncing "R", all of them utterly unfamiliar to most English speakers. If you're under the misapprehension that these symbols represent familiar phonemes, then you've simply been badly taught.
The U.S. Constitution is far from unambiguous, and U.S. constitutional law can only be understood as a corpus of precedents which explain the meaning of terms which are open to interpretation, like 'due process' or 'freedom of speech.'

Essentially because they're easy to grok. Take js for example. No interfaces, basic OO system, no access modifiers or static typing, no multithreading, no pointers Etc...

A lot of concepts can be handwaved when you're using a language that doesn't support them. Js is easy to learn and widely useful.
I wonder how the energy density of one of these compares to a traditional reactor. That's what I would intuitively correlate with safety. Solar and wind, for example, are very safe mainly because they has such a low energy density.

I am not sure what video proved. I don't think anyone needs a massive data leak to know that people are killed in wars, and that bombs are making "collateral damages". That's not exactly a secret. In fact the pentagon maintains statistics on civilian casualties.

I am not aware of any major wrongdoing uncovered by the diplomatic cables leak. The comments I read/heard from diplomats who reviewed the data rather implied that the US diplomatic staff is doing its job rather well, with often an accurate description of the internals politics of the countries they cover. Leaking these memos certainly resulted in a few red faces as private, undiplomatic comments made it to the front page. But I don't see the benefit.

That leak is more akin to the sort of reckless leaks where massive amounts of private, sensitive data made available by unscrupulous hackers just because they could. This is a very different animal from the Snowden leaks which did uncover major wrongdoings and were filtered responsively.

Sure, but even then, I think his point is still applicable. It's urllib2 and requests, not urllib2 and requests and 20 other libraries. The fact that an inferior library is being kept alive by being in the stdlib is maybe unfortunate, but there's still only a small number of choices overall. That makes it much easier to do research and see within the first few search results that the majority of the community recommends one over the other.
Everybody in this thread seems to have ignored the body of the submission in the excited rush to explain exercise.
I'm confused. But then again, I know little/none about US laws. My naive understanding of the 5th is that you can remain quiet if you'd otherwise have to point at yourself (or your family?). If your coworker is the offender, can you plead the 5th?

If that's close enough: How is that a problem? Yes, people over here might just pay the fine (which is completely legal for a lot of cases: In all cases where the state doesn't care about the offender's identity).

But if the 5th only means that you're allowed to protect yourself (and yours), isn't it correct to pay? I currently parse your comment as "Wouldn't the people pay up if they are guilty in the first place?".

Like many other Chinese have replied, we do use and learned pinyin in school and use it to learn how to pronounce new characters. All the Chinese dictionary has pinyin in it.

Pinyin to us is basically International Phonetic Alphabet to English.

This is especially important because each region in China speak their own dialect of Chinese and sometimes it is almost an complete different language.
As an Cantonese growing up, pinyin was my way of learning Chinese.

That's not a great reason to move languages though.

For instance basically nothing comes in the standard library for C. If basically nothing is offered in the standard library of Rust then why switch? It's valid point.

If we want a lot of adoption to Rust, people need to have an easy way to find quality implementations in crates or add them to the standard library so they are easy to find. Either way, you need one of those two things to happen because people are lazy.
yeah sounds like the author is still in the initial "wow" stage, since they only tried it last week. I too was amazed by my oculus when i first got it. I was amazed again when the touch controllers came out. But once you get used to the new interface you get resigned to the fact there are no games out for it and the ones that are out are essentially expensive demos created to show off the tech. Furthermore the cords and setup are a pain.
