Yes, that chapter painfully explains my point.

Most of the replies pointed out the new ? operator, which I'll have to check out. (One of the things that I like about the Rust community is that they constantly improve.)

The thing is, if you've only handled errors via return codes in C, then Rust's system is a major improvement. The challenge comes once you've programmed with exceptions that have inheritance. It's pretty easy to set filters higher up in the stack and "not care" lower in the stack. This allows you to effectively ignore error handling for functions that only fail in obscure corner cases, because a filter higher up in the stack can handle so many different errors. (Operations that require cleanup can also be written in a way that cleanup code always runs, as some languages support try-finally.)

That's probably the hardest thing for me to adjust to in Rust. Lifetimes take care of the try-finally part, but I still can't figure out how to have generic error filters higher in my stack.
> If you really want to own a stock that gives you no profits, no income from dividends, no voice in how its run, and actually no value what so ever other than the greater fool theory then go ahead.

The fundamental value of a stock is in the claim on the assets at dissolution (dividends are just partial dissolution, and voting rights are just a way for you to have a—very small, for most investors—protected role in having a voice in determining whether the company increases or decreased the value to which you would be entitled if it dissolved.)
I don't suppose you have any insight on why BMW thought that it would be ok to make such an ugly car of the i3?

The i8 is a fantasic looking car, and along with the Model S was the first Hybrid / Electric car that actually looked good.

The Model 3 has show that it's perfectly possible to make a good looking $30-40k car.

So why did BMW decide to build such a different looking car from the i8? They could have gone with a smaller version of the i8 (again similar to Model S vs Model 3) which would have been pretty awesome.

> "What we know from research is that people that drive a car like that want to make a statement, they want to show that they choose a different way of mobility. It’s not the ordinary steel car with an exhaust pipe.” [0]

- BMW CEO (America)

So did you really want to make a statement, or do you just close your eyes until you get in the car (it looks pretty nice on the inside)?

How does this compare to remi's repos ?
Google "solar pv eroei". We are past the point of positive energy return.
You should verify the proof multiple times, but there's no reason to generate it multiple times. If there was an error in the witness generation proper verification will catch it, and if there's a problem with the verification regenerating the witness will not help.
From that perspective, you have a very valid point.
I never really looked (not into Uber). I just tried installing it, and it failed due to lack of space... And, well, I can take a cab when I need it.
Interface-wise it's largely the same as TweetDeck's.

The community varies pretty heavily based on what instance you hang out in, but overall it's way kinder than Twitter. The extra characters let you have some nuance in your posts, too! :)
This is completely off topic, but does it bother anybody else that we live in a world where the CEO of any technologically savvy company disseminates announcements as a picture of text?
pervycreeper is making the point that all computers are, for practical purposes, probabilistic, since you can never know if a given result is because of a machine failure. In the normal sense of a math proof, one can not "exhaust the problem space" using a computer. Using a computer remains an empirical approach, since there is always the chance that the computer is malfunctioning.
Will there be upsides to adding it to other plugins though?
>My father was career military. That isn't a recipe for wealth, and is an avenue available to millions of people.

I was actually going to ask this, but I didn't want to be presumptuous.

Your family, like mine, were probably recipients of GI Bill benefits. These benefits (like college grants and home loans) were systematically denied to black folks, disallowing them from participating in the post war economic boom.

There probably weren't a bunch of black students in your graduating class.

Bill Gates had a lot of guts and savvy on top of a great work ethic- and a lot of social advantages.
The Trade Desk | Full Time, Onsite & Remote | San Jose CA, San Francisco CA, Aliso Viejo CA, Ventura CA, Boulder CO, New York NY, London UK, Sydney AUS, Bellevue WA

Hiring: All levels of software engineers, as well as front-end focused developers who are comfortable with data-access design, development and optimization. You might be a great fit for The Trade Desk dev team if:

* You are a full-stack engineer who wants to work everywhere, not just a small subset of components. Experience / interest in working in a variety of layers and technologies within a SOA is a must for our team.
This includes: client-side React & Redux, AngularJS, MVC-based web architecture, external RESTful APIs, distributed (and in our case, highly scaled) request handling services, no-SQL and relational SQL databases, many-layered data pipeline (e.g. data bus architecture, Hadoop / MPP data warehouse, etc.) that moves hundreds of thousands of items per second, and data visualization (e.g. Tableau). Experience in all these layers is not strictly required, but we do like to see experience working in more than one, as well as eagerness to work on projects that might slice through them all.

* You have product-driven software development experience using a modern, object-oriented language. Memory-managed languages are best -- .e.g. C#, Java, Python, Ruby, etc. We do most of our work in C#/.Net, but specific experience here is not required.

Cool stuff about TTD:

The largest difference to me is Mastodon's 500 character limit. It leads to conversations that feel much more nuanced compared to Twitter.

How can you offer all those GIFs without infringing copyright?
Video was also the feature that was going to justify the 3G spectrum auction prices. In the UK many billions were paid by the telcos and part of the marketing promise at the time was the then 'obvious' application of video calling. We would all be chatting by video on our flip phones, not sending txt messages. txt messages were an accidental phenomenon as I understand it, something squeezed into the chatter needed for the phone to stay in touch with base station.

Cameras in phones by Nokia et al. from 2005 are with this in mind, front facing, VGA video that is handled at the phone level as a video call:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N70

There is no 'app' that puts the video in a http stream somehow, this was baked in functionality, now abandoned by telcos.

Yet there is the selfie phenomenon, again something that few imagined to be the thing it is. Cameras used to point outwards, now they point at the owner. I would not be surprised if cheap phones only come with selfie cameras soon, much like how laptops only come with 'selfie cameras'.

A large tablet for just doing Facebook and Facebook video does not sound portable enough for what it does, 'phablets' are better on the commute, why carry another device? Sounds to me as if Facebook are trying to hard on all the failed VR apps.
Xubuntu to Fedora XFCE spin was entirely unexciting in terms of change, I like unexciting when it comes to the OS I use for my livliehood.

Gnome 3 is still a dumpster fire and KDE got so bad as packaged that the devs felt the need to do Neon.

KDE hasn't been good imo since 3 and Gnome since 2.

I'm an XFCE user because of the Gnome 2 debacle though I've considered MATE a few times there isn't anything about XFCE remotely bad enough to make me seriously consider a switch.
Same as PirateBay, which made its name when they publicly replied to copyright enforcement letters with insults. Refusing to be humbled by established authorities is the real crime, because it corrodes their legitimacy and hence their whole existence.

It's a bit like being homosexual in countries with harsh state-religions but tolerant attitudes: keep it quiet and nobody will bother you, but if you flaunt it then the law will crack down on you, because you're attacking the basis of the whole legal edifice.
The point is, splits and civil wars cause customer confusion and are harmful for bitcoin adoption. Coinbase is throwing some political weight around by saying "We won't support BCH." Their competitors do, so are customers supposed to think it's a technical challenge to support BCH?

It's just strange that Coinbase either wasn't prepared or sees BCH as a threat. Balkanization of bitcoin is unnecessary. Why refuse to support what everyone else supports? https://twitter.com/Yelka_Pineda/status/891020902066003968
Perhaps consider a different perspective? Instead of approaching conversations with the mentality of "I want to share my take" approach them with the mindset of "What can this person teach me?" Always, in all interactions.

For me, it was helpful to use Seth Godin's advice[1]. I used email to reach out to people I admire, to pull ideas from their mind, and eventually I found others reaching out to me to do the same. Like all good things: connections take time.

Most of nuclear waste should not called that. The more radioactive something is the more energy production capability it still has. Only a lunatic puts that stuff in caskets and digs caves for storage, and doesn't reap that. If the spent fuel was re-used correctly, we could run all the humanity's toys with it for several hundred thousand years without breaking any sweat.

... And that brings us to those costs. There are parties that benefit from causing the costs to ramp up. So they have tried to find out ways to do exactly that, and prevent the good cost reducing innovations from reaching even testing so they could be mass adopted some day.

It is widely known that we have knowledge of vastly safer reactor types, but we haven't been able to even get permits for full scale test runs. We know that there are several things about the fuel cycle we could improve, but we have to stove the best stuff away. We could actually go and fix some of the old installations, and their design features, but we are not allowed to do that either. Probably we could drop the price of nuclear power to a fraction (say, 1/10th?), but it is not politically correct to talk about that publicly. And so on, and so on.

Many people simply want nuclear power to fail.
I don't know enough about US law, but if the president is required (at least in theory) to receive authorisation from congress before (or after) attacking an enemy nation, is there not some equivalent requirement for using the military apparatus against an ally?

Perhaps the constitution allows the president to do whatever he or she wants with the military (as long as it is within the historic bounds of what militaries do) without triggering the need for congressional approval unless it reaches a "state of war" at which point people might actually start dying.

That would seem like the sort of practical level of discretion that a country would give its executive branch, but I can't help thinking that there could or should be some law somewhere that gave the president's actions against allies some type of legislative basis, so that voters had an idea of how the president would use these secretive powers, and could hold the executive to account at the ballot box.

686.3million in 9 rounds (!!) to be exact. this is like a bad soap opera.

they were seeking to raise additional 200million. These VCs are insane.

IF (!!!) this ever worked they would be - 1billion before shipping any product. Whoever puts anymore money into this should ask for at this point majority of the equity no questions asked.

Even then it doesn't really matter. I'm pretty sure it's now fact that the US broke the United Nations Convention against Torture during the war on terror. I seem to remember the USG even admitting this. Nothing was done. For now the US is powerful enough that it will do what it wants.

Bitcoin cash represents 7-8% of the value of a bitcoin pre-split. How is it user friendly to "tax" coinbase bitcoin holders by that amount? Is coinbase just going to sell those bitcoin cash for its own profit? Some transparancy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edited my comment to make it clearer.

There is a difference between ownership and possion. Technically (in the meaning "how it is realized in computer code") bcc is given to the person possessing btc. But by the law the owner is entitled to the profits of a thing. But coinbase does not own my coins, it merely posses them.

Similar to how "The president can't have a conflict of interest", the three-letter agencies can basically do whatever they want and get away with it.
What Makes Me a Great CEO
I don't know how frequent kids choking is. All I know is that their gag reflex is pretty powerful and should keep them out of danger (for the most part).
Thanks! What we can share is that we have essentially three main parts - a custom NLP engine that is built specifically for texting (consists of numerous phases of filtering and normalizing), this is the core of Guggy and will be also used in the future for more entertaining applications.

The second part is the creatively tagged image repository. Even though tech enables now to tag objects in images, it still can't do it in a creative and funny way, so for the moment we were aiming for quality rather than quantity (I do agree that massive existing GIF repositories do not yield desired results), whereas we have plans for extending our repository significantly in the future.

The third part is also what we consider a big advantage of Guggy, and that's the image rendering engine. That allows us to personalized each request, such that different users could potentially see different results for the same texts (imagine seeing them in a font that you like, and your friend sees them in a different font, but there are also other applications for this). The images are therefore rendered on the fly per each request and are never stored.

Hope that clears up the questions you had in mind.
Well, from the article it seems Catherine did a more-or-less correct job of adjusting liberal principles to the reality of her country. Assuming that's right, the fact is that her time, her place and even her throne didn't put her in a position where she could do much.

In that sense Gorbachev was more fortunate, because he did a similar balancing act at a time when everything ended up in flux (partly because of Gorby's on work). And even that, by its nature, has to have unpredictable effects, including the partial about-face that Putin represents.

The US intelligence apparatus exists to protect the interests of the citizens of the United States. A foreigner who violates millions of dollars of intellectual property belonging to American citizens and companies is a threat to our interests, and also of the interests of the nearly 200 nations that participate in the global copyright regime, whose copyrights he was also violating. Foreigners on foreign soil have no rights as far as US law is concerned.

Now to see if the next big startup to IPO (AirBnB, Uber, etc) learns their lesson about issuing these bullshit shares to the public.

$SPY alone is a significant chunk of total equities ADV - and there are other SP500 ETFs that hold significant assets. By not being eligible to be part of these indices pre-IPO shareholders are ignoring a huge and growing segment of the market.

This really shows the impact of technology on culture in modern times, you can see different cultures and countries adopting different practices due to their technology (which in retrospect is how technology in history has always worked) such as Wechat in China and its payment practices to how Soundcloud influenced so much of modern day unsigned-label musicians and the Soundcloud Rap/Trap community.

Also would not want to see Soundcloud disappear, I had a brief EDM and trap phase with Soundcloud filled with vivid memories

Apple hits an all-time high
It's really crazy. Overcast (my favorite podcast app) is under 10 MB because Marco cares about things like that.

Here's some of what's listed in the update list on my iPhone:

Chipotle is 92. The kindle app is 171 (perhaps the fonts?). The Amazon app (which is mostly a web view anyway) is 127.

Robocall blocker? 22. Verizon app? 160. An app for tracking streaks of achieving task? 65.

Slack is 123.

Clips? The Apple app for making little movies that includes a fair bit of art? Only 55. That makes sense.

Authy? To show 2-factor codes? 65!

Outside of games (which have a lot of assets) app sizes seem to have absolutely no correlation to what they actually do.
That sounds fine. I think the problem is with the relatively recent trend of not paying out any dividends at all. If you have no voting rights to change that, there isn't really any value inherent in the shares other than the trust you and everyone else places in the company. It especially throws a wrench in the notion that the value of a security is the net present value of all future cash flows.

It's similar to when the US government stopped allowing trades of bills for silver. In both cases, you stop being able to get "real money" from the financial instrument and have to just trust that the rest of the world will treat the financial instrument as real money.

Gnome is just total garbage as is windows 10. They both drove me to OSX which I admit merely carries the crown of being "the least crap".

I really want gnome2 back but fixed and as a first class citizen, not a fork that the big vendors wish would go away. That had some mileage.
I'm glad to see another viable CSS non-framework and Shoelace looks very promising. I haven't put it through its paces yet, but found a nitpicky thing... why have a "table td" selector? You can't have a td outside of a table anyway. This is top of mind for me because I was just grappling with Bootstrap's lovely specificity nightmare ".table > tbody > tr > td"
So far, the criteria looks to be no more than to be on a list of Eastern European ad vendors
There hasn't been a precedent so far in considering GIFs as infringing copyright. GIFs generally are considered fair use, contradicted only by cases thus far where the content owner has specifically directed not to create GIFs (which we do not). There are other traits of Guggy (as opposed to other GIF products) that make it even less subject to infringing copyrights.
