if uber/lyft can't differentiate their product in any way it seems a race to the bottom imo unless some cooperation happens. i bet thats why lyfts been running these commercials about how great their drivers are; to create some perceived differentiation.

i guess one of these companies could go the amazon route and make margins so small to make entry into the market less attractive. ride sharing seems less capital intensive though so not sure that'd work.
Cloning anything nontrivial (String, Vec, structs containing them, which is when cloning is usually used to ease things) does need to allocate. The comparison to managed languages doesn't make sense: "notifying the GC" sounds exactly like "notifying the memory allocator" in Rust/C/C++.
Oh, that's not the sense in which I was using the term "bytes". Rust has different string types for file contents and path names, with their own (platform-dependent) restrictions.
I find the bikes in Amsterdam are actually somewhat well maintained compared to the rest of the country. I live in Delft, a town with 25,000 students of a population of 95,000. Here, the bike combinations are particularly creative, which I really enjoy.
I think Obama felt exactly the same way going into office, but quickly realized the people being sent to Gauntanamo Bay are as dangerous, ambitious and as hardened extremists as they had been saying. Releasing them would greatly increase the chances of a terrorist act on western countries. I'm not saying they shouldn't get some kind of trial, but the notion that they are very likely all at the very least future suicide bombers is often overlooked. Bush's administration had been saying it and I think Obama came to believe it first hand once he got into office.
Well that's fascinating innuendo. I'm not equipped to evaluate if it's true, but it makes sense. I wonder how the other equity owners feel about the outcome.
Identifying hypocrisy is not just about dismissing opponents, it's about getting them to reconsider their views, which are possibly not well-founded and contradictory.

You guys realize that just because you get to walk down to the Blue Bottle with your 8-of-10 girlfriend and her Kate Spade purse to buy $4 scones, 98% or more of the world's surface is far from that. I mean, of course you know that. And, you also know that Obama is an intelligent, and good guy. And, you also know that he had the best intentions before coming into office.

So, wouldn't you think that maybe he has had to be pragmatic about his decisions? Occam's razor, right?

The world isn't black and white, and when one is responsible for hundreds of millions of lives, a person may need to take the most pragmatic approaches that are available.

You really want to change this (instead of just complaining on internet forums)? Figure out a way to address the root problem. And, if you can't do that, invent new approaches that a president can use that are better than what's available currently.
Disagreement is about not having the same models
Clone runs arbitrary Rust code; there's no way to say how expensive or not it is. That's one reason it's never called implicitly.
It's a tagged union of utf8 and utf16 IIRC. I had to look at the stdlib source when I was trying to figure this out.
We'd know what they were like, if they were allowed a trial and could defend themselves? As it is, we take the word of military police etc. Who have never made a mistake?
This book is book great and after you've read it I can recommend "The Powershell Scripting and Toolmaking Book"[1]. I just started reading it and teaches you how to write good tools with practical examples and business scenarios. My next step will be learning Pester and DSC.

Also "Powershell in Action" by Manning is great to lookup things in detail.

As an American who almost exclusively bikes for transportation, I think it comes down to a difference in cycling conditions.

Most people I know grew up riding ~$100 Walmart bikes, just as described - steel, heavy, poorly assembled and usually the wrong size.

It's quite harrowing to be riding a slow and breakdown-prone bike on 65kph auto-centric roads, when your chain falls off or brakes fail.

If there was more segregated cycling infrastructure and denser cities, I think it would be much different.

Adding in the fact that most people I know don't know how to change a tire, much less fix or maintain a bike, I'm not surprised they are turned off of cycling entirely by the time they become adults.

After riding department store bikes most of my life, I bought a entry level aluminium hybrid bike with quality components for $400 new (vs ~$200 for a department store steel bike). It was life changing to be able to be able to accelerate and maneuver in traffic, and made cycling much more attractive. I could also ride long distances without worrying about breaking down - and if I do, the parts are standard and I can fix it myself.
No, the Gates Foundation just has open access requirements. Sorry Nature and Science.

I hope this sets the stage for all grant funding sources to institute similar requirements, and we'll get even more absurd clickbait headlines as a result.
Who cares? If self driving cars work for 50 percent of cities, that is still massively massively revolutionary. That's still trillions of dollars.

People are underestimating how game changing "mostly working" self driving cars are.

If you're going down a hill and you need to do an emergency stop, the back wheel won't do you any good. The rule of thumb I was taught was that the back wheel will only provide 1G of deceleration, under ideal circumstances. If the road is wet, or there are leaves, assume less.

If anything, the rear brake can be used to slightly pump up the front fork, which allows the front wheel to find its own way through mud/leaves/snow. Basically, apply a touch of rear brake when you go through a slippery curve, squeeze the frame between your thighs, and let the bike find its own path.

If you take into account that during braking, and even more so during an emergency brake, all the inertial weight lies on the front wheel, it makes a lot of sense that the rear brake is so useless.

In France, bikers call their passengers "SDS," which stands for "sac de sable" (sandbag). Very useful to increase grip of the back wheel when accelerating strongly. Not when braking.
Don't you need to index for `s[:n]`? You need to find the byte position of code point n. In current python this isn't a problem because the strings don't use a variable-width encoding, but we're talking about making Python use utf8 :)
As a prolific non-finisher I have to disagree to make myself feel better. My laptop is littered with half-done projects but so what ? They're simply sketches, explorations, they were never intended to be anything great. You explore a path and see where it goes...sometimes it fizzles out and that's fine. I've got some projects I've been revisiting on and off for like 8 years and they'll probably never amount to anything, but they help me learn about a particular aspect of coding or maths.
Firemacs maybe? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firemacs/
I would wonder what term has been used historically for "a small fix to a large conceptual design after flaws have been pointed out." In the modern day, that's almost always "a patch": mathematical theorems get patches, architectural plans get patches, etc. When did this usage start, and what came before it?
I meant that it's equivalent in that it's common knowledge; I could and maybe should have used "evidence that ducks quack" as my analogy. If it's not common knowledge where you live, I apologize for assuming that you were demanding evidence of an obvious fact, though the ones who should really apologize is the media in your part of the world that cared to tell you about Hezbollah but did not bother to tell you what they do.

What he needed to be was, a leader. To inspire us to be our better selves, by taking some risks to support our ideals. Like not becoming a police surveillance state, and guaranteeing a trial.

What absolute bullshit, with the Atlantic just credulously slurping up the spin of a former NSA attorney.

12333 is an executive order! By its very nature Trump can rescind or update it on a whim the moment he's in office. How can you completely uncritically present readers the argument this is a way to set the rules in stone when they're written on the White House Etch-a-Sketch?

And we of course get the "because 9/11" answer: The origin of these changes dates back, honestly, to just after 9/11. Now more than fifteen fucking years later, days before the guy these Dems all said was an unacceptable fascist threat walks into power, and because 9/11 we had to put the Obama stamp of approval on the "bcc: everyone" model of NSA dragnet surveillance sharing. Gotcha!

Lol I'm in an interesting position where I love my job and get to do cool things as an engineer. I deal with a lot of data though and have to write a lot of one-off kind of scripts frequently. This is surprisingly difficult on Windows. Python is ok, but not really what I need. Using Linux would make me really happy, but not a big enough wart to make me switch jobs.
The API is COM-like

I have been forced to use COM a few times, and that doesn't sound very encouraging... IMHO Win32 is simpler for a lot of things, compare for example the task of using the file selection dialog the Win32 way:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms6...

...with the COM "replacement":

(There's a 10-level nested if in that code. I recall exclaiming WTF the first time I saw that.)
That is of course the logical extreme of the argument. I too don't agree with it, and wonder what will happen when we discover a species that has evolved to live only in EPA Superfund sites, do we destroy its habitat by cleaning up the pollution or do we preserve the species and leave the planet polluted?

Both arguments speak to the futility of arguing staticism in an evolving world.

> I can't imagine anywhere in the US having Canals and no guard rails; Jaywalking like you born to; Firecrackers in the middle of street for NYE.

Just speaking from my experience growing up in NYC: I've seen and done all of these things. Of course, that's definitely not the average American experience.

I think a large part of the US's penchant for regulating cycling comes from a tendency to look at bicycles as a toy, rather than a tool. When we think of cycling foremost as a diversion for children, we're less likely to stress the importance of learning to maintain one's own bike and are more likely to stress replace-ability and a misguided sense of safety ("it's just a toy, we'll get you another one!").
Since I said "...or..." all I need to do is show a language that has any of the asserted properties, not the one you happen to have chosen. Take, for example, "forged from an ocean of experience", and tell me that C++, Java, GO, ... aren't "forged from an ocean of experience". (Note that I'm an ardent and very long time lisper; I would love all this lisp aggrandization to be true. It's just not.)
Yeah, by Character I meant java.lang.Character.

Yeah, so UTF16 in Java is being used as a variable-width encoding. Nice to know.

The US is a very diverse place, compared to many other countries. In the place I grew up, the schools basically had to translate their materials for parents into Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Farsi (looks like Urdu has now been added to that list). Nevertheless, it is a common stereotype that American tourists have a reputation of being unwilling to put any effort into learning foreign languages.

I'll add that it appears to me that French-speakers appear to be the snottiest about it. I suspect that has much to do with the fact that English has largely supplanted French as the main international language of business and politics (which largely dates back to Wilson insisting that English be used when negotiating the Versailles treaty after WWI).
So if I understand correctly, this is a framework to design your own secure protocol for your applications?

Kind of a higher-level building block instead of working directly with NaCL and such?

None of those quotes demonstrate anything other than the simple point that someone who has experience in riding a bicycle knows to get their weight back and low so that (per your own quote) it is _nearly impossible_ even on steep hills to endo.

It would be refreshing if you were able to demonstrate a capacity for admitting that perhaps you have something to learn. I would advise taking a mountain bike class and coupling it with something like the U.K.'s Bikeability or the U.S.A.'s League of American Bicyclists equivalent.

I fear, instead, that you will spend your time hectoring internet strangers about the dangers of bicycle riding based on your own incapacities and incapabilities.

Good luck.

You should get your coaster brake fixed, since it is apparently dangerous for you.

I have never had a coaster brake failure. Nor have I experienced a problem with engaging the coaster brake as you describe. I have always found the single coaster brake to be more than adequate and to be more reliable than any (set of) handbrake(s). I like the fact that I can skid the rear tire if I apply enough force. I live in a non-hilly area, so YMMV.
Anything from Walmart/Target or anything that is not a real bike shop is going to be incredibly low quality.

Best off going on Craigslist and buying something (probably japanese) from the mid to late 1980s that was at one point a good quality bike. Get something with chromoly steel. It will be a lot more reliable and bike mechanics and you will be better able to fix it. It'll have all ISO standard parts.

Isn't the difference that in the Netherlands you ride at 15 mph on a dedicated bike street, while in the US you ride with the cars? This explains a lot about the desire for speed, emphasis on safety and maintenance, etc in the US.
I'm the other way around: I tried switching from Vimperator to VimFx for a week, but couldn't really make myself compatible with it. I'm too used to browsing with toolbars=none[1] and browse almost exclusively via Vimperator command line. I found VimFx still not enough to be used with everything hidden.

Too bad that Vimperator will most likely stop working once Mozilla deprecate XUL addons in Firefox 57[2].

It's stochastic, not a deterministic process. Should never look at it personally.

Same with up/down votes. It can be a Brownian random walk.
Your cat or your dog may not understand your language, but they very well do understand the tone you say things. (If not, at the very least you can teach them this.) Cats themselves know very well how to whine, and with some logic applied you understand what the cat is whining about. For mine its either: "I want (your) food", "I want you to clean my cat box", or "I want to go outside".

Hence, combined with what's happening, you're likely to get to a common understanding.

I have question for you.

Before my actual bike, I had a mountain bike for something around 15years. I never changed or did anything to the chain. It was perfect.

Now I bought a new one. After 2 years I went to the shop to have it checked. They had to change the chain. When I told them my story with the old bike they told me: "that's how it is today. Chains are not what they were". I'm still in disbelieve. Can you confirm this?

So strange to see this here.. I spent a couple days reading the site a few years ago. It was during a time where I was looking for alternative ways to live my life and if I could have subtle improvements on everyday things.

I learned a few knots and even now when I buy a new pair of shoes I consult the site to see what lacing style would suit the shoe and my foot. (since different styles put different tension on the wearers foot).

I have to say, I'm happy it exists, it enriched my life in such a subtle way, this is the kind of content that the internet was made for in my opinion.

Very good question, and I haven't seen a definitive answer to it yet.

The responses by Bob are presumably numbered, and some might be delivery receipts, or contain delivery receipts (e.g. A cumulative ACK as in TCP). Could the server selectively suppress the read receipts, or manipulate the cumulative ACK? If it simultaneously triggered rekeying on Bob's side, presumably yes. But not seen a definitive statement on that.
I strongly recommend against learning Powershell, it has horrid syntax and is not crossplatform.

It wants to be a pseudo C# but without being C#. And anyway you can use scriptcs nowadays to write scripts in C# (or even better: .fsx scripts, with F#, which is more succint, less verbose than C#).

There are no elite Universities in Quebec (McGill is
pretty good, but not French), and there is zero access to
networks from elite schools among Francophones.

Another blanket statement. What constitutes an "elite" university?

The Francophones in Quebec have traditionally been, as a population, mostly against making "big bucks". One of the reasons was the religion. The other was that the anglophone ruling class were more than happy to (read "actively engaged in") suppress French success in general.

A lot of things changed in the last century. There are a lot of first generation University students in Quebec today, most of them French speaking. Naturally, the wages in general are expected to be lower. But one has to make the distinction about cost of living. It's lower in Quebec than in a lot of other places. This would explain the relative lower number of French Quebecois who "sign checks" - although they do exist.

Do you have any idea how big is the "circus"? There are some interesting documentaries/reporting on YouTube. Worth checking out. Another big company is the Desjardins bank, which was ranked #1 strongest bank in North America last year IIRC.

Success is relative, it depends on your social status and on what your peers define as being successful. Sure you can apply the SV VC definition of successful to mostly anywhere in the world, and you won't be much impressed. That doesn't mean the locals aren't successful. For a example, for a long time in Quebec the definition of being successful was becoming a pharmacist, doctor, dentist or lawyer. That's something that is being felt today still: a lot of potentially great scientists/entrepreneurs just want to become doctors, because doctors are successful.

Arguably this is no different from elsewhere, but combined with the general population lagging behind the rest of N-A with regards to accumulated wealth and level of education, the net effects are bad (IMO). But the gap is lowering, and I know plenty of young people with big ambitions. Time will tell, but I'm an optimist for the future.
