I think Rust's merits are real but mostly those of OCaml or Haskell which have been around for decades. I'm glad to see an ML-family language finally having a cultural moment - it's a bit unfortunate that it comes with manual memory management that 99% of programmers don't need, but it's still a great thing.

Rust is also giving the - to put it bluntly - idiots - who insist their application has to be written C or C++ "because it's fast" a better language without having to overcome that idiocy. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing - it's beneficial in the short term, but letting idiotic attitudes towards performance persist seems like storing up trouble for the future.

For the people who genuinely need manual memory management Rust is a major breakthrough. But those people are such a tiny niche as to not be worth worrying about. People who claim to need manual memory management are overwhelmingly likely to be in the previous category.
Yeah, you're right, I don't care about external contributions. I never wanted this to be a "community" thing. It started as I got interested in the quirks of email and wanted to mess around with the topic. Trying to find consensus etc. just makes it harder, not easier.
I really love this quote: "only available in German, but don’t worry most Germans don’t understand it either, because it contains a million juristic and fiscal terms".

I guess this applies to any human language ;-)
I'm hoping async/await improves performance over current generator implementations [0]. If implemented as Anders suggested (async/await gets translated to callbacks under the hood) they may even reach or outdo the performance of plain callbacks, especially if done natively.

I doubt that will ever happen. 1) Insulation is essentially passive for the lifespan of a building, PVs and other solar tech + associated heating & cooling systems need regular maintenance, cleaning, replacing etc. 2)highly energy efficient buildings provide better comfort and indoor environmental conditions than a poorly performing building with lots of active heating / cooling etc. 3) insulation works day and night, all year round, PV only produced electricity when the sun shines. There is a big gap between what PV can supply and day/night demand and summer/winter demand. Storage might get to the point where it can bridge the day/night supply/demand gap, but seems unlikely to bridge the summer/winter supply/demand gap.
I apparently struck a nerve, sorry. I'm 35 myself, and I'm more reflecting a job I had a few years ago at a game studio, where I was one of the oldest developers there (besides the manager), with everyone else being in their early to mid-twenties.

And I don't mean I didn't do any of the things I mentioned, hell, in just a couple of years of my 30s I've met and befriended more people than in my entire 20s due to an effort I made to go to meetups and become more comfortable in my own skin, and I was going through a phase where I was attending as many performances by stand-up comedians as I could, and I even went to a couple of EDM concerts that didn't even get started until midnight...but there wasn't really any drama.

Most shit that a lot of these guys talked about in the studio that they encountered, that seemed like such a BIG DEAL to them OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? A lot of posturing and acting like you're great because you talk about all this crazy shit that happened to you this week.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this stuff can happen to people at any age, it's just that once you hit your 30s it seems less important. You've seen a lot of it before, you're trying less hard to impress everyone, and you're not going to things just to say you went to them (usually).

So you're not as tuned into it, you probably go to less of these things naturally (because you're only doing it if you enjoy it, not so you can have a story to tell), and possibly you have something else in your life that you care about saving up money for instead (like possibly retirement, maybe a much larger trip, maybe starting your own business, maybe finally paying down some of that debt you accumulated throughout your 20s, trying to figure out how the hell you're going to afford a wedding and a honeymoon, how you're going to pay your child's medical bills, etc).

And yeah, 2000 years ago a lot of people had the same thoughts as today, not denying that, I've seen it myself, and I wish more people realized we're not actually all that unique and exceptional in history after all, besides some of the cool toys we get to play with.
> Would a beginner see the benefits of rust without first understanding the drawbacks of C?

Better, it would make him aware of C's shortcomings when the time comes to learn C, instead of getting the wrong idea C is the only path to systems programming.

I learned systems programming back in the 80's via Assembly, Turbo Basic, quickly followed by Turbo Pascal.

When the time came to learn C, I was already on Turbo Pascal 6.0, and the frustrating part was being aware that there was already a better way of talking to the machine.

Also another point, was that C pointers were never confusing to me, because I learned the best practices in those languages.

I highly recommend against using that library - it encourages a lot of callback hell we've found at my company, and it is much harder to create nice reusable functions with it vs. promises. bluebird is a wholly superior library for handling async flow.

Source?

Snaps require AppArmor which is used by Ubuntu and openSUSE. This makes it harder to integrate Snaps into Red Had (SELinux) distros, but I wouldn't say that this is something RH does actively to cripple them.

I think you are misunderstanding Kant.

In PTAFM 13, Kant is arguing that neither space nor time are intrinsic properties of things in themselves, and basically making the point that properties like position and congruence are relational, not intrinsic. Spatial relations fit with the intuition of space, which is the form of external experience (and one should think of this as the abstract form of any space whatsoever - people tend to think that Kant is undermined by the development of non-euclidean geometries, but I think one can push the abstraction so it fits equally well). Experience of- and reasoning about spatial objects involves both intuition that corresponds with the forms of space and time (which applies to any experience whatsoever, outer or inner), and the operation of the understanding through concepts. Now, reasoning from principles which might apply to spatial objects (in the case of algebra, geometry and topology) can go through concepts alone as long as it is logical. But those principles would be meaningless for us if we didn't have experience of any spatial objects whatsoever (if we didn't have the pure intuition of space).

"Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind. The understanding can intuit nothing, the senses can think nothing. Only through their unison can knowledge arise." (KrV A51).
Yes, I'm experiencing the same problem :(

I'm using Linux btw.
Not necessarily. People make kids because of the instinct to not let their genes die. As a computer programmer who do not want to have kids can switch to Gene editing or any computational medical related domain which works on immortality. The advantage is constant motivation to work because of the chance(seems good as of now) of attaining immortality, which is the same reason why people create kids to prolong our consciousness.

The standard library is still callback hell and the async package doesn't use promises at all.
Even if C# would be the most technical superior language ever made with every feature you could think of, a lot of developers still don't like it because:

- C# smells corporate, being used in many large scale business application.

- C# is developed by Microsoft, a billion dollar company itself

- The .NET platform is only partial open source

So facts don't matter much, it's about smell :)

It depends on the arrangement too. If you're on a flat rate for being on call, being called out is the worst part. If you only get paid if you get called, being called out kind of makes it worth changing your plans.

I get a small amount for each day I'm on call, plus an extra payment if I'm actually called. That seems a fair balance - I'm compensated reasonably for making myself available, and the actual callout payment makes it worth getting up at 3am a couple of times a year.
A low estate tax threshold is the destroyer of individual proprietorships and family farms. The impact on farm families is particularly caustic. If you want a world where only large corporations can farm, raise estate taxes.
Germany is probably bad option within EU. I would recommend Bulgaria: flat tax rate 10% on corporate income and capital gains. Considerably cheaper office and accounting cost.
circumpolar doesn't make sense as an orbit. The crazy shuttle design requirement was to return 40 tonnes from a single polar orbit in 1 pass. I.e bring a spy sat back to america without flying over russia.

This means a massive body to hold an object, The earth would move under the craft as it rotated. Without being able to wait for it to rotate around you need wings for the large cross-range capability to glide back to america.

As KSP teaches us you can't put massive wings at the top of a rocket, without even bigger wings at the bottom. But that's got too much drag to get to space and so, the insane launch system that was the shuttle is invented.

They never used this ability for the entire service life of the shuttle.
Hum, let me explain a bit. I understood that it's a new fruit in the region, and seems that even the local population wasn't considering relations between the fruit and the illness. And, exactly because of that, it made me think about how things were in the past.

In other words, given enough time without attention and information and so on, would a new belief arise in that population, one strong enough that would prevent kids from eating the fruit? And few of those who eat them anyway would perish, reinforcing the "tradition" that it was a cursed fruit (or something like that) ?

Of course, if you consider that the same constraints that were present 3,000 years ago still persists: lack of a good knowledge about chemicals and biology and how the human body behaves.
Technically they kind of backed themselves into a corner with ME3 endings, because while they may look superficially similar to the player during choice making, all four of them (yes, four - there are actually four options for you to choose from) result in so vastly different universes, that I see no way they could ever make a proper sequel.

That's probably the real reason they're going with Andromeda now - they completely blocked off the ability to continue Milky Way story.

All of that data is in the save files.

You're talking about a turbopump spinning at several tens of thousands of rpms, at very high temperature. Yes, a couple g's of lateral acceleration adds a bit too those stresses, but it's a fairly minor effect, I'm sure.

I think it's vastly more likely they're cracking from the rotation speed, temperature, and pressure.
Is that true anymore? I was under the impression that .NET is fully open source: https://dotnetfoundation.org/

Besides that though, C# is much nicer than Java and fills a similar niche.
If I search Google Photos for 'dog', the top seven hits are, in order: a fuzzy toy, a possum, another picture of the same possum, a cat, a pair of goats, a sheep, and I think it's a pheasant. The dog is #8.

Of course, if I search Google Photos for 'me', the top hit is a frog, so maybe it just hates me.

Update: not any more! Now the frog is #2. The top hit if I search for 'me' is the MV Isle of Lewis car ferry, photographed on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides.

If the author wants credibility about bashing C# perhaps they should not generalize other languages within their argument. Can C# not stand on its own merits? As someone who has been using Python for nesrly two decades --How is the author defining 'hipster' languages?
I was just about to reply to this thread with "Who's bashing C#? It's one of the few things from Microsoft that I've never seen bashed", but I guess you just did. I am not sure if those are your view points or what you observe from others. I don't think they have a lot of merit, but obviously choosing language is a highly opinion-based decision so smells are important if you think they are.

I was late to ME3 party, so I was doing my first playthrough with Citadel DLC (and extended endings) already bought. I must say I absolutely loved it, and I agree it's probably the best DLC to any game I've ever seen. I was heavily emotionally involved with the ME storyline, and throughout the third game, I always felt overwhelmed by what was going on in the galaxy and the importance of my character's responsibilites. I could see the same tiredness and despair in the crew, too. And then, suddenly, we all get the so-desperately-needed break for R&R. It fixed the morale of not just characters, but also me as the player.

And in retrospect, indeed it does feel like "a gentle and humorous farewell". I still have a screenshot of the group photo actually printed out.

TravelPerk | Senior Product Designer (UX) | Barcelona | ONSITE travelperk.com
As a Senior Product Designer, you will have a number of years of solid interaction design under your belt and will be able to bring something new and unique to the team. You know that designs are never completed but are constantly evolving based on user feedback. To you an interface is not a “pretty-picture” fabricated from an ideal state, but is a compilation of complex components which can have many states and need to work fluidly with the data that is thrown at them. You have a passion to learn new things and you see failure as a way of learning.
Key Responsibilities
Design and test new components and interfaces using lean methods. Communicate ideas clearly and quickly with key stakeholders. Decide on the best approach for your designs based on a strong understanding of commonly understood patterns and usability. Understand technical constraint and how this will impact your designs. Consider how your designs will adapt across multiple devices and in various contexts. Aim to delight users through thoroughly considered designs and microinteractions.

It might be a better outcome for native translators who see higher demand increase their salaries. The market has to be fair for all participants. Salary will never increase with demand, if increases in demand are always undermined by bringing in H1B workers.
