It sounds to me like you would like a "batteries included" version of Perl 6. (include JSON/YAML in the runtime)

No. We only include things as part of the language where the design of it is immediately obvious, and is useful for many applications. It also helps if it has been proven in other languages. So Promises(Futures) are in there, but many other things are not. You can do anything in a module, so write an external module for it instead.

Otherwise we would have the problems where the best module for the job is not in the runtime, but everyone uses the one that is in the runtime.

I have heard that Python has this problem with HTTP. Think of it like this, a module for doing X is included with the first version of a language. That means it is a module that was not written by an expert, because at that point in time there was no expert in the language. Everyone uses it though; as you don't have to install it, because it is already there.

We don't have an official module manager, because we want all of them to be equally as official as every other one. It is a good thing too; as most people in the know use zef currently, rather than panda. If we had one that was official, it would have been panda.

That's also why there is not, nor will ever be an official implementation. Any implementation that passes the test suite is just as official as every other one. (although there is only one currently)

Basically you are asking for things to be included, that are specifically not included for very good reasons. The way that this is dealt with is by using the idea of distributions like "Rakudo Star" for Perl 6, or "Strawberry Perl" for Perl 5 on windows. That is an implementation of Perl 6 along with a set of useful modules.

Where are you getting 60%? Are you adding up the two years?

And I presume you're in the US, but from an external observer's perspective, 'poverty' in the US is extreme and is almost incomprehensible to people the rest of the Western world. These are not people "choosing" to not work, they're the most decrepit, uncared-for group in the developed world.
Just an addition: electricity grid, without which light bulbs wouldn't do much and would require another source of electricity (a petrol generator, for instance).
I'm not a rust guy, don't know it at all... and to me it's not too much different than interface/type definitions for the .Net framework in C#.

It's often easier to work from examples though, but I do know that you often see interesting ways to do things when you look at API docs.

OT: the framework looks interesting... routing as attributes is pretty cool, would be nice if one of the examples on the main page used a route variable though. I am curious how this compares in terms of requests/second of hello world vs. alternates... I would imagine the memory overhead would be much lower, but curious on throughput for the underlying model.
Did you do the immigration paperwork before looking for a job in Canada? What I'd like to know is if its better to have this paperwork sorted out before applying for jobs in Canada.
A friend and I are actively working on innovating in the context of DAWs and music production, we're specifically trying to modernize the discovery and accessibility of plugins. Nice to see DAWs mentioned here - there's a lot that could be improved in the field and we're hoping to tackle several outstanding issues in the near future.

(If anyone's interested, hit the second link in my profile.)
I see federal incorporation as a "sane default" but this is what I know that favours provincial incorporation:

- The bureaucratic details differ between the various provincial jurisdictions and the federal one (like the one I mentioned with requirements for the makeup of the board). This could make a particular province's corporate rules a better fit for your business than the federal ones.

- That provincial incorporation is cheaper can matter for local businesses that have no intention of expanding nationally.

- Some provinces may require corporations from other jurisdictions (other provinces or the federal jurisdiction) to "register extraprovincially" to operate there, at extra cost. This is avoided by incorporating locally.

- If your business name is already taken by a provincial corporation in another province, you may have an easier time creating a provincial corporation by the same name than a federal one.

> obligatory "I'm not an accountant or tax expert" note

Taxes... I'm still figuring those out but CRA allows corporations to file in USD [1]. To the best of my knowledge, a Canadian corporation that only has Canada-resident employees and shareholders, and doesn't own property or servers in other countries, only has to deal with Canadian taxes. Expect to fill out a few W-8BEN-E forms to assert this. Depending on what your company does, you may have to charge your Canadian users sales tax.

Wow. It is crazy how uninformed you all are (no offense). Radiologists do not just look at an image and say "white thing there!". They incorporate the appearance, characteristics, anatomy, pathophysiology, patient's clinical history/age/medications/surgical history, and combine all of that information into some image findings but more importantly a focused differential diagnosis for the clinician. We have had computers reading EKGs for decades (a 2D line) and they still get it wrong 50+ percent of the time. No machine is taking over EKG's any time soon.

I'm sure machines will someday take over radiology but there will be many, many jobs automated before it (i.e. decades).
Whatever you say Mrs Rand.
Just to play devils advocate, wouldn't it eventually even out then because high demand and lower wages here would mean that other countries with a tech sector would have high wages and would then be more appealing, which would encourage H1B visa seekers to consider going elsewhere or would even lure more talent from the US overseas.

Granted, like many market-based arguments I make a lot of assumptions about how easily people can move around. Immigrating is hard and once you've immigrated successfully you may not be willing to take the risk of ending up back in the repressive regime you came from (hence, a lot of the issues we have right now) and people in the US may not be nearly as willing to leave the US and go elsewhere. But theoretically (if not in reality) more mobility and access to labor is a good thing.
Or how about the ones who actually think net neutrality is a terrible idea and think the Free Market (tm) should solve it, yet they refuse to put forward a workable solution for how this would happen.

If we publicize telco infrastructure and rent it out to various companies, that would solve much of the probl..."OH!! BUT then it's not free market! Each carrier should have to buy their own infrastructure otherwise it's not fair!! Blah blah" Right, even though much of the infrastructure was built with public funds. Ok, so back to net neutrality? "No! Government regulations are evil! The free market can solve this!"

How, exactly? Can someone tell me how the free market can deliver net neutrality with federal, state, and local governments in the pocket of the large telcos? I'm actually asking.
The Python/C API is pretty straightforward and can be a good intro since you'll see how some of the Python types are represented with the curtains pulled back. Try porting a small module of your own from Python to C. Then refactor it so it can be used in a stand-alone C program with just a few wrappers for the Python API. Then try plugging it into a C program instead.

True, economics aren't there. Question is whether that's because of unsurmountable physical limitations, or because of current engineering and current regulations. And that is not obvious.

For what it's worth, I don't really see personal aviation take off anytime soon anywhere near as much as personal driving has - but some niches might become feasible with personal electronic VTOL aircraft (PEVA).
If the image url is in front there isn't exactly a sure fire way to tell where that url ends and where the options should begin. Of course there are work arounds, but the way it is now it seems that it would cover every case.
Flying cars aren't the future. I think it's much more in Jetpacks. Once power density is better than Jet-A, we'll be in business for some great options.

Probably dangerous as all get out, but that's part of the fun.

Which could be true if Uber's self driving car project lasted longer than a week. Other companies have already logged tens of thousands of road hours into their self-driving car research.

At this point, it seems more like these announcements into researching more solid business models are a red herring, like the previous commenter said. You don't need to see the end product to know if progress is being made.
Agree on many points, not all.
But most of all I would like to add that the Police has seen so many budget cuts and downsizing that they just don't have the people to do much.

In my city there are no patrols, there is no time to patrol. If there are then it is incidental.

It's higher fashion, which is perhaps the limiting factor, but Rent the Runway was "Airbnb for clothes" pretty well: https://www.renttherunway.com/
Uber expanded in large part because they did not need to buy cars or taxi medallions to compete. So, they could use subsides to attract new customers. If they now need to buy or even lease a few million cars they simply can't afford to do that globally. So, it's likely going to be the next round of well funded startup that wins.
In the age of "microservices" it seems to be the direction. Also, in any HA deployment, would generally be the case anyway.

Have you ever played the old "Frogger" video game?
My point was saying nobody is going to switch away from a carrier because that carrier is offering free data.

I think people are missing the point of the posted article, or maybe I am. As I understand it, the complaint is that giving free data for the incumbent tech giants' products gives them a distinct advantage in the marketplace over small / startup offerings which do not have deals for free data. This advantage means the "level playing field" of the internet frontier is dead.
Yeah, it's reasonably understandable.

In fact it's a pretty awesome example of Rust's traits in practice since it requires Sync + Send so you know it needs to be thread safe(and the type system will enforce it).
You are right that they have made separate declarations of support, but are they plaintiffs? I think 'et al' refers to the sole other plaintiff, the state of Minnesota:

Yes, it certainly seems to violate the Open Internet Order. The FCC is stopping enforcing the order because the new FCC leadership intends to rescind the order and opposes the order's goals and mechanisms. Net neutrality is dead.

So Uber is basically giving a flying fuck to investors by calling it a Flying car.
What is that C you're talking about?
The point is that your last mile can be a proper meshnet, and the backbone operates in real-time competition, and people wanting to compete on parts of the backbone are much more able to - and people wanting to compete in the last mile are able to as well. You could have someone pull fiber from the backbone to somewhere vaguely near you, and depend on the meshnet from there, or you could travel a few kilometers over meshnet hops, or some combination of the two depending on whether a packet relates to something user-interactive. It solves a problem - monopolies in Internet transport - it just doesn't handwave away basic understandings of physics.
I disagree with most of the comments. I believe the article has great merit, which lies in its conclusion, but most would never make it that far.

For those who'd like the condensed version:

"you are confronted with the one philosophical problem that no book or tradition or teaching can ever know or solve; being you, in your world."

What the article says is that philosophy is not very useful to an individual, which, having failed to gain any relevant insights from raw philosophy myself, I agree with.

However, I would argue that the application of raw philosophy in stories, like Crime and Punishment or The Stranger or Arrival or Romeo and Juliet, is what makes philosophy useful––being able to see it applied in a relatable character's existence, not unlike our own, with the requisite cause and effect chains. Ay, there's the rub.

I have gained great insights from stories that make excellent use of philosophy–through its application. It could be argued that great works of fiction follow from new developments in raw philosophy. Both fiction and philosophy play in the space of universal truths.
i always just use nginx and don't see any downsides.
Yes, I think one of the first places where personal electric VTOL aircraft (PEVA) will take off are places where the rich use helicopters now - Sao Paolo, Jakarta, etc., basically geographically compact places with terrible traffic and massive income inequality.
My examples are very intentional - arguably "programming robots" is today a more normalized "masculine" activity that woodworking, say.

This was done to isolate the issue of defining "masculine" activities by a historical, rather than contemporary view - i.e. are we to prefer children learning (arguably) less practical skills because they are either novel or not historically "masculine"? That's a sort of cultural conservatism that biases any further discussion if you aren't very very careful.

Cooking and baking was added as a bit of a curve-ball, because it is both a male-identified and female-identified activity under various lights. But this gets into the whole messy subject of normalizing gender identification of activities, which is perhaps best avoided. As is the characterization of Millennials, or superficial analysis of the impact of single parent environments. At the very least, all much deeper waters than I have time to get into here.

In short: growing up with a table-saw in the basement is a terribly proxy for masculine involvement in that childhood, today. Thinking about it in those terms is self defeating, and undermines whatever value defining "masculine" activities in this context may have (which is a whole other can of worms).
It is readable, but you are right it is terribly formatted with a lot of not-very-important information in huge fonts.

I think rustdoc needs quite a lot of work in general. For example it doesn't even give a list of methods at the start of each type's page. Want to know which methods you can call on a `String`? Enjoy scrolling...

We need many times more public defenders so people have representation actually able to spend time on the case.
I think the more important information is how it affects most people, not specifically how it affects you. For all we know, you have some sort of genetic mutation that allows you to drink that much green tea without any side effects. Maybe you're part of (e.g.) 10% of the population with said mutation. If so, then your situation is the one that doesn't apply to everyone.
The dangers of creating politically partisan AI
You need to compare the size of the numbers. My eighth of a million person burb can adsorb 120 people from one luxury apartment without a peep. We have a little private college where 3000 people appear and disappear every year with barely a peep in the market. Of course there is a building boom downtown of exclusively luxury apartments, nothing under say $3K/month, plenty up to $5K or probably higher.

I earn a 95%th percentile income for my area. The only urban housing being built is for people paying 5x as much as my income. That is a very small fraction of the local population. If income were linear instead of exponential that would be less than 1% of the population can afford urban living, the other 99% will have to live in the burbs or somewhere other than urban areas. If someone earning five times my income were kicked out of their apartment, they'd likely be living in a place much nicer than my burb, not that its anything bad, but its probably only the 3rd wealthiest burb in the area. There would be effects in the border areas where 120 people would be pushed downwardly mobile thru all the neighborhoods.
I disagree, there are competitors for almost all the non-internally created datasets which implies the streams are available outside the Terminal.

IMO the network effect is the biggest thing to break and that would need to begin with the buy-side. If Pension Manager XYZ with $N trillion AUM uses Bloomberg then you can be damn sure so does anyone wanting to do business with them.

Now I'm kicking myself because I did something very similar for one of my clients based on AWS and shared it publicly (https://github.com/pbudzon/aws-image-gateway)! Not sure how it compares cost-wise, though. It's a combination of CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda and S3. I'm quite sure CloudFront doesn't have limitations on what you can cache, like Cloudflare seems to have.

Like others who commented, I don't get the idea of image-resize-as-a-service, so I remember I laughed at my client when they asked me for this. For some reason I believe it's better for the world if we don't make people think it's ok to throw around gigantic images around the cables when it's completely unnecessary...
kdb is awesome, but very tailored to one-dimensional (time-ordered) data. I've built a couple multi-dimensional array database engines in my time and -- trust me -- it's a really difficult problem to solve. That said, I have a design kicking around for one that meets most of the OP's demands, so if anybody wants to join me...

There's been an explosion in raster data in just the last 5 years. Cheap satellites, cheap drones, and cheap platforms have really turned the firehose to "high". And the resolution on scientific data -- climate and weather model output, astronomy data, particle physics data, seismic data, etc. -- just keeps going up.

This is an area of massive growth for which no existing solution is quite adequate. If I had the time and/or the cash, I'd be diving in head-first.
So, 1.1% annualized? Do you have numbers for productivity?
Different strokes for different folks man. It's not the siren song of the marketer's pyrite that draws people to the cities (and I'd love to see your numbers considering the total population of Kansas is a quarter of nyc alone). Living in a tiny town 20+ miles from the city center honestly sounds like hell for me, and many of the people I know; we have no interest in ever starting a family, in owning a car, in restricting our options for food and culture, hell in some cases even home ownership. Clearly the opposite is the case for you and that's ok, just, don't pretend like you have some cosmic truth figured out.
The +/- button will do that for you. It's one of the first things I do once I read the top example.

I've always felt that the big arguments stacking Capitalism and Communism seem to revolve around the practical results of distributed vs centralized allocation of resources - and yet that seems to be a feature that is mostly tangential to both economic theories. Yes, many centrally planned Communist economies failed, but we seem to be approaching a centralization by concentration in the US - where we can't get broad public goods agreed upon (even though private healthcare e.g. has been a clear economic inefficiency compared to public). It's a big economic disconnect akin to the disconnect of factory workers in Communist-centralized factories not being motivated or allowed to improve the output.

Wouldn't it be ironic if all the energy directed to arguing Communism vs Capitalism had completely missed the fundamental principles on both sides?

That's roughly the economics of it. There is a cottage industry where people will sort lego in bulk by hand, effectively it's probably better to flip burgers on a $/hr base.

I can think of many cases where it could be your employers business that you were arrested:

1. You're going to miss work because you're in jail.

2. You were arrested for a crime that's related to your work. Like, money laundering or fraud if you work at a bank. Or having sex with a minor if you're a teacher.

3. You work in a field that requires lawful behavior from employees at all times preserve the integrity of the organization. Like, say, law enforcement.

It depends on the amount of tea you're using per L of water. One could steep 1 g of tea in 4 L of water, which is essentially drinking water.

This looks like a great resource. Interesting that the author says this book is partly for "application devs".

As a JavaScript dev, learning C has always had a certain appeal. However, anytime I start to dive in, there's this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that I'm wasting my time as I will never use what I'm learning.

To any devs coming from higher level languages, have you found learning C useful in any practical sense? Or has your exploration of C been more "for fun"?
"Pwned" in this case is sending some text to port 9100 on a bunch of printers where this port is exposed. What would be more interesting to know is how many of these are printers with public IPs vs port 9100 forwarded from a NAT router, and of those, how many were done manually vs via uPnP?
That's the idea! :)
ES6 is a language specification and Rakudo is software. When Perl is written in uppercase it usually means the language, so what you said is true but not informative.
The "work" in this case would be the modified AGPL service. Using a reverse proxy, the "end user" would be the person running the reverse proxy, so you would owe source modification code to yourself, but nobody else.
No one said it wasn't possible. Clearly, it's possible since ships were wind powered for millenia. The problem is that with very low fuel costs, it's not feasible because the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
