And one that still most people reject.

See for example the reactions to "surge pricing" from Uber. Standard economic theory suggests that by letting prices rise (or indeed fall), supply will adjust to match demand and overall utility will be increased. But paying more for a cab when lots of people want to use the available cabs strikes people as unfair.

As a nerdy fan of economics, I believe the underlying problem is inequality which humans are apparently very sensitive to and surge pricing makes it explicity that rich people are getting the benefit. If there was less inequality then it could be reframed as "the people who really value a cab ride right now".
I agree with this, the Starcraft community experiences losses as a learning opportunity.
I was just thinking much the same - these things are a good reason to keep to minimal desktop environments and full control of the system.

My only interaction with "Tracker" has been to figure out how to disable it and get it off the system, as it was doing god-knows what and pegging processors. I can (and do) happily exist without apport.

I know this doesn't make me safe per se, but I do think that in becoming more windows-like and 'integrated' we end up with these unintended consequences.
This sounds very very odd?

Why ride the line? It'd take one major issue then you're way over you error budget?

For testing/simulations I can see why you'd introduce the errors.

There's one area where Rust's typesystem will probably be counterproductive, and that's flexible and efficient graph algorithms. (Someone please prove me wrong).
I don't think it should be a whole new book, just a few sections in the current one.

A good start could be a "Down the Rabbit Hole" red section sprinkled through out (like all those side boxes in textbooks and programming books) that emphasises that all of this safety can be negotiated with the compiler through the use of native (implemented in the standard library in Rust) types and links to the relevant chapters in a new window.

For example, when introducing ownership and borrowing rules there could be a quick blurb about RC, RefCell, and other types that let you pick and choose which guarantees you want the compiler to enforce and how "unsafe" is just a keyword to tell the borrow checker to buzz off for a second. Reemphasize it a couple of times in the same chapter and have a small chapter on how to debug corner cases. The point is to plant ideas in the reader, little factoids that may help things click or at least give them a starting point they may remember when they get frustrated by the compiler.
I don't know a huge amount about this. Just wondering though, if those increased rates of environmental damage could also be related to communist states tending to have restrictions on the press, which in turn makes it easier for corruption to flourish.

What you're saying certainly makes sense though.

My guess would be that in order to be safe you'd also have to seriously constrain other aspects of the language (like casts for instance). You'd probably have to introduce something like rust's "unsafe" to turn those checks off locally. You'd have to add additional syntax to manage lifetimes. Basically you'd reimplement Rust in C++.

99% of the C++ code out there wouldn't compile anymore and a lot of it would require significant re-architecturing in order to work with the new paradigm.

Or more likely the vast majority of the codebase would keep working in "legacy" mode which wouldn't play nice with the safe portions of the code (since you'd have to consider all calls to the rest of the code as unsafe). Same thing with any external library not updated to be "safe". It's like the python 2 -> 3 transition, except a lot worse because it's significantly more complicated and probably can't be automated easily.

The reason C++ was so successful is because of its backward compatibility (all the way back to C). I'm not sure it'd make a lot of sense to introduce such radical changes now. Especially given how incredibly huge the language is already.
Showing dialogs is not a solution. Various studies have already shown users click any dialog which pops up without actually reading the dialog.

Loads of browsers do download automatically. Making things inconvenient and delegating security decisions to the user isn't good enough. Make it convenient and secure!

PS/Edit: Btw, under Windows 10 loads of things are indexed. It makes things very convenient. You use your pc like Google. Instead of knowing exactly where things are you just "Google" for it. With that I mean it has a good working search that's also really quick in giving accurate results.

If I were 80 years old I would be very upset if I were forced to move from my home where I had spent the last forty odd years because of rising taxes.

I think we can find ways to deal with this problem without forcing people to sell their homes. Problems related to old people can often be solved by making sure that they don't perpetuate and waiting.
Yes, corrected.

The specific phrasing in the order was "suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons".
> I hope the Linux desktop never emulates them.

Sadly the big ones are. Because they consider this behavior "user friendly".

At the same time they think they can contain the threat by wrapping everything in sandboxes. Effectively infantilizing the owner/user of the personal computer.
I was surprised how low AC usage in residential homes is in LA compared to many cities on the East Coast. I guess that a city which is rather hot year-round has less need for AC compared to cities that are very hot for only a few months per year. It allows building differently.

High energy prices could also play a role.
That's not what this article is about though really

Which is where the 'get out of jail' card in the form of 'unsafe' code is useful. You can always fall back to not having those guarantees checked if you're writing core, low level, well tested code. You can then ensure the right guarantees are made by typing at the interface, and ensure the code is used correctly.

This is why writing data structures in Rust is considered an 'advanced' topic.

(We need to be careful with this next infant mortality stat. The US has stricter reporting)

> To call Rust's approach "manual memory management", for me at least, feels just wrong. That phrase evokes the idea of C and C++, where you carefully have to do a lot of work and keep close track of your memory management strategy to make sure you don't make any mistakes.

C != C++, because in the latter you can use smart pointers - just like in Rust.

> Dependency tracking and build systems are largely a solved problem in Rust.

I wouldn't say so, especially since incremental compilation is still an experimental feature only available in nighty. And tracking objects dependencies across crates isn't even possible ATM.
The volume and weight of traffic has changed too - with more and heavier cars, trucks and buses on more roads - and this will have affected some streets more than others. Quiet residential dead-end streets will barely change, while rat runs and secondary routes may be seeing significantly more traffic than they were ever designed for. Equally, main roads may have been massively overengineered at some point in the past and therefore able to cope with the increase. There's a lot more going on there than just the layer at the top.
While I disagree with the travel ban, let's remember that the primary objection that the tech industry has to it is that it will disrupt the flow of cheap talent that it uses to boost its multi-billion dollar profits at the expense of US-educated engineers that would demand higher salaries and benefits. This group of companies may not garner much sympathy.
I don't think giving Uber at this point as proof of anything is OK.

In my city Uber has inflated prices almost all the time, except for maybe after 22:00 at night.

And it seems unfair for one because they don't provide a good mental model of what's going on. If the standard pricing is never available between 7 and 22, then the standard pricing is a hoax. In fact, the standard pricing shouldn't be available at rush hours, because daily rush hours are normal. I can understand rainy, snowy or foggy conditions making traffic difficult, or upcoming holidays, but your regular Tuesday should not have surged prices at 9 o'clock in an area that's not the most crowded part of the city, because then the standard pricing is a hoax. Also, people that think Uber's pricing is unfair do so because taxis with much lower and stable prices still exist, even at rush hour. They even have apps now. And many cities have a working public transport system as well.

As for supply and demand, you have to remember that Uber is not a free market, because the drivers are not the ones that can set pricing ;-)

This is why I stopped using Uber, because they'll be very dangerous if they'll ever have monopoly. Now I'm using a local app for cabs (CleverTaxi in Romania, for those interested) and Taxify, which is like this European-made alternative from Estonia. They have the same surge pricing model, but are being more conservative in applying it for now.
So live rats are OK? :O
In principle, nothing stops C++ compilers from implementing this feature.

However, this

- requires additional input from the programmer, such as lifetime parameters in Rust.

- C and C++ don't have ADTs which help working with lifetimes A LOT (e.g. having Option<Box<T>> as nullable pointer).

- will reject 99.9% of useful libraries and programs written in C.

- would be equivalent to using Rust.
Trump lost the popular vote. The Republic is the only reason he can do this at all.
Solar panels can still make sense, you can sell the excess energy you don't use. The amount you currently spend doesn't really affect how profitable solar panels can be. It's rather a concern if you want to be independent of the grid.
Isn't that always the case? I've rarely been in particularly strong agreement with the politics of upper management almost anywhere I've worked, but upper management doesn't care. That's capitalism: we don't work in worker-run organizations (most of us, anyway), and company political stands aren't submitted to an internal vote.

Trump supporters disagreeing with their management from the right are hardly a unique case; many of us also disagree with our management from the left (e.g. being union supporters in a company whose management is anti-union, or being in favor of a carbon tax in a company whose management lobbies against one).
The type system, you can do anything regarding memory access, for example using long for pointers and this code must still work as designed even with such switches.

Microsoft and Google are working on static analysis tooling for this, regarding C++, but the tools require you make use of the right types.

Also, like any tool not part of the language standard, its use is optional.

This, unfortunately, is not true. Unfortunate cause I think great things would happen if it were that easy. It's also super simple to understand, which is at least part of why people cling to it so tightly.

There is a huge amount of scientific literature (see summaries by Gary taubes, for example) that show that calorie counting is not the whole picture when it comes to health or obesity. It's also definitely not a golden rule.

Security should be multi layered. So if one thing fails there's still yet another layer of defence. This because everything will have bugs anyway, so it should be assumed none of the layers will ever be fully secure.

systemd offers various methods to restrict daemons in their abilities. That's hardly used. Only recently tracker started sandboxing their indexers. Why block adding other security laters on Wayland? There's no need to wait, nor do these layers depend on another.
I don't think flexibility and efficiency will be a problem in the case of graph algorithms but so far, it looks like making the data structures ergonomic and safe in the general case may be a herculean task. With LLVM inlining and other optimizations, Rust's type system allows for both flexibility and efficiency but patterns are still evolving on how to do it with complicated graph structures.
I think it was actually a nice nod to all the folks who haven't got that much experience, and maybe felt silly for not understanding the code snippet. :)
I don't get it. So is FCC just silently sneaking in anti net neutrality again? I thought they pulled that out after huge outcry. Were they just waiting for public to forget and move on?
I like a lot of what you said and think you're on the right track, but I'd adjust it a bit to "solve problems" instead of "write code". If someone can solve the problem without writing a single line of code, that's almost always better than writing more software which will have to be documented, maintained, deployed, debugged, supported, and run on systems, which will also need to be maintained, monitored, upgraded, migrated...
I am a physicist in biology (so take these with a grain of salt) and CRISPR is arguably the most exciting development there. This technique allows to edit DNA based on guiding RNAs which can be readily synthesized in contrast to DNA binding proteins required for targeted editing before. What's more the same technology can be used to adjust gene regulation too. These techniques are not only giving basic research a big boost, but also making many new treatments possible.

Another hot topic are organoid bodies and organs-on-a-chip. These are experimental systems where stem cells are turned to grow into structures similar to embryos or organs that allow the study of development and facilitate drug testing etc.

Thirdly, advances in sequencing made it possible to study what kind of bacteria live symbiotically within and on us. The composition of this so called microbiome seems to widely affect body and mind.

Finally, in my personal field, the simulation of how "simple" cells build complex structures and solve difficult tasks, the most exciting development is GPGPU :-)
In my experience with Rust so far I find that I'm slower when I write Rust code than, say, C. However I find Rust code a lot simpler to maintain. I can offload some of the cognitive load of C to the borrow checker (who owns what? Should I free this pointer? How should I tell this method what's the length of this buffer? Can this function fail, and if so how?)

For the same reason I also find it easier to dive into 3rd party Rust code and modify it. In general you don't have to worry about hidden side effects, global state, weird calling conventions and similar things with Rust.
Long reads from PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, and 10x are also exciting. This new tech coupled with HiC for scaffolding and single cell sequecing brings up the possibility of complete knowledge of your genome, the collection of strains in a metagenome, or all the types of cells in a tissue/cancer sample.
Outside of architecture astronautical web development (usually done on a Mac while sipping some kind of coffee and milk blend) no it is not acceptable one bit.
That doesn't contradict anything. All it means is there weren't enough desperately poor Americans looking for the work. Improve the working conditions and raise the pay and the number of Americans interested increases.

Unfortunately because of other American policy related to agriculture this is difficult for some companies to do.

Basically what the Alabama law proved is that companies aren't willing to provide sufficient quality working conditions and pay to entice American workers. The specific job may be a factor in that, but that isn't something this event proves anything about.

In D, the example looks like (if I understood it correctly):

struct X {
Y y;
ref Y getY() return { return y; }
}

This tells the compiler that getY() returns a referenced based on the implicit 'this' reference. It's available now (DIP25 was the proposal for it).

We're now implementing DIP1000, which adds similar support for pointer values (DIP25 only dealt with references).

To see it in action:

alias Y = int;

struct X {
Y y;
ref Y getY() return { return y; }
}

ref Y foo()
{
X x;
return x.getY();
}

Compiling it yields:

Paleo is a fad diet, it can be healthy, yes, and many people with unhealthy diets try it, make a success and then the circle of anecdotal evidence reinforces the fad.

The easiest diet is a diet filled with starchy vegetables and fruits. It fills you up insanely, it's low on calories, and is extremely hard to overconsume.

Try eating a cup of beans, try eating two cups of beans. Practically impossible to do at one sitting. Try eating 10 bananas, extremely hard to do all at once.

People just don't realize how much calorically dense foods they eat and how little their physical activity is.
The best defense in this regard is not do jack all unless the user asks for it.

This last sentence sounds a bit worrying. Writing data structures such as graph is just as common as writing if then else... if this is an advanced topic, then maybe an intermediate library providing common patterns for building elaborate structure would be welcome ( that's usually what stdlib types are about, but with the borrow checker, maybe those aren't enough).
You can make things more secure or less secure no matter the user.

Also: if one desktop doesn't check SSL certificates and the other desktop does, then one desktop doesn't even enable the user to be secure. Checking SSL certificates is a pretty recent thing btw. E.g. various mail clients accept any self signed certificates silently.
Except by all accounts it wasn't and there are no plans to continue it.

I agree this would be a very important Problem to solve. However I think that the root cause of this problem is that the food industry has the incentive to maximize profit. Since sugar ist cheap and tasty for a lot of people the obvious thing to do is to sell as much sugar as possible. Of course sugar is just an example here, the same logic could be applied to other products (cheap fat, fast food).

IMO the general aproach to maximize money is broken as it incentiveses crminal behavior (banks, volkswagen come to mind immediately). This problem would be really interesting to solve, but I don't think that's doable by a single startup as it is a political or social problem.
