First of all, it’s spelled “Bitcoin.”

Second of all, there are many many cryptocurrencies at this point and they are all thriving/competing with one another across various measures. Since fiat is incapable of competing with anything except on relative value, fiat is doomed to fail.

I wonder if he'd find supporters on Patreon. The way supporting a musician is like pledging to buy the next $1 single, would it be possible for him to make downloadable games instead of relying on Steam? His needs are modest, he loves making games and wants to devote himself to it, so it seems worth a try. I'm impressed how he wrote updates and did bug fixes, just to please game fans. With a little support, he could flourish.

The real Rust basename implementation is not so low-level:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/path.rs.html#1801-1808

I don't see how Rust vs C makes no difference. Both languages have trade-offs and I'm pretty sure that Rust advocates would claim the increased safety of the Rust part as a big advantage, and it will certainly reduce those core dumps. Probably the reason there are so many of those advocates is because they don't have to write such error-prone low-level code. Expressive code is more fun, in my experience.

I can relate to this article. When I went into business for myself (writing an app, similar to his situation), I had 6 months+ of expenses, and stupidly, I was even willing to go into retirement money ($10k savings, $10k retirement). I was very foolish with money, and did not cut down lifestyle at all(after leaving a higher paying job). I regretted this, but have since made peace with it.

After 6 months, I had a series of days where the realization that I would not make it in time and needed to find a way to make money washed over me like a sea of fear. I quickly was able to find freelancing, cancelled my expensive lease I had just renewed(luckily and thank you to my property manager). I was making a small, but consistent amount of money per month. I cut expenses by 2/3 and had to move back home for a while, where I stabilized.

It's been over a year since this happened, and I've been making enough doing freelancing to pay the bills, and not much more, without taking unneeded time away from writing the app. I spend about $1300/month to live, all-in. During the first 6 months, I think I was spending $3k+/month.

If I had it to do all over again, I would have cut expenses, day one, freelanced day one(to remain neutral spending), and would still have some retirement and some savings in the bank. $10k savings was my emergency fund, but the only the only emergency I had was a "what to do next" crisis, where I treated it like a business runway.

All that being said, even without profitability yet, I am very happy I went this route, and I see so much profit and value for all involved, that I am just thankful things worked out, and are still working out, as well as they are.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Also, just a random, jokingly stylistic note:

> My girlfriend realized what's going on and said: "Babe, you need to get a job. You won't make it".

In the article, his girlfriend talks in all italics. He should have only italicized "won't", being the operative word. It doesn't really take away from the article, but I just think it's funny if she actually talks in italics all the time. Maybe he's trying to say she was being forward, which it is quite a forward statement, which she is in her right to say, if he's living with her. Very not ideal situation for him.
Per my comment above linking the real implementation: the comment is perhaps misleading about the cause but its claim is largely true. Rust code tends not to look like this.

I've already changed my alcohol consumption. Firstly, I cut down on my overall consumption: most days I don't drink any alcohol at all, and at events I try to stick with 4-5 beers maximum. I sometimes stretch that a bit at festivals, but those only happen once every ~3 months or so and the intake is usually spread out over 8-10 hours.

Secondly, I very much prefer less processed types, such as wine, whisky and unfiltered beer. I stay far far away from alcopops and similar drinks.

It may be anecdotal evidenece, but I get far fewer hangovers now, even if I drink to the same amount as I used to.

It's a shortcut for "early-returning" in error cases

> Was more boilerplate necessary in the example before?

Somewhat yes, the original use case is Result types (and the try! macro):

let v = func()?;

expands to

let v = match func() {
Ok(v) => v,
Err(e) => return Err(From::from(e))
};

that is it "unwraps" a successful result, and barring one it directly returns from the current function (having possibly converted the error). Before 1.22, doing that with an Option would be:

let v = match func() {
Some(v) => v,
None => return None
};

or

let v = if let Some(v) { v } else { return None };

after 1.22, this becomes

let v = func()?;

as well.

edit: note that this is quite different from the behaviour of the ? operator in languages like C# or Swift where it compounds into "null-safe" operators, the most famous being the null-safe navigation operator "?."[0], these are closer to the monadic bind, which in Rust is called "and_then".

If I had had the stress of being without work and home in 4 month that would never have worked. And at that time I hadn't even covered marketing, or having the time for it.

> ETA: To me it feels a bit like the icky type coercion magic some languages have that lets you write code that kind of works even though you don't understand what you're doing. I don't know Rust though, so this may be totally different.

It is quite different.

In Rust already it is possible to proxy "pointer to a thing" as "the thing itself" in a lot of different places, making it a lot more pleasant to work with. This is a continuation of that trend.

It's pretty easy to know if most things are a pointer or not, but more importantly if it's not immediately obvious it rarely matters (i.e. you're not the one creating or consuming it; you're just sharing borrows to it). At which point sharing pointer-to-value vs pointer-to-pointer isn't very different, and Rust implicitly deals with that.

It doesn't seem like a business story really, it seems like an artist / craftsman wanted to practice his craft and ran into commercial realities. It's a starving artist situation. There wasn't any market analysis, financial analysis, etc upfront. He wanted to make a game, and he did, so he should be commended for that. It wasn't really a business venture.
I disagree. He made a lot of mistakes. That doesn't mean you need someone else to do it for you. If you fall from your bike you stand up and try again. Deciding to have a bike driver that drives you around instead is a losing move.

Hi yodon,

I'm happy that you are asking for questions directly! :)

1) Now there is licence providing just by Gumroad to cover all the administrative stuff. Full licence will be on website up to end of this week, but I guarantee, that you can use it as you want. You can build commercial products and all others by this library. One thing you can't is resell this stuff like your own ReactJS UI Kit/Library. So no worry about license.

2) Lof of people who bought ReactSymbols are requesting this feature! Currently there isn't Typescript support, but we will release it in 10 days!!! :) So I guarantee that you will able to use it with Typescript support. And also, all updates are free for all buyers.

Thanks for your time yodon,

I've made a complete switch to stainless steel, cast iron (both enameled and bare) and carbon steel.

I particularly enjoy using my inexpensive carbon steel pan that I got from a local kitchen supply store, I find it even better than an actual cast iron pan. It's made from 3mm plate steel and it's smooth like old-fashioned cast iron pans, so after about a month of regular use, I would honestly call it nonstick. Certainly nonstick enough for eggs or fish.

As an added bonus, it will last basically forever as long as you don't warp it from thermal shock or let it sit while wet, so it rusts. You can take away most other items in my kitchen and I wouldn't be too upset, but don't ever touch my carbon steel pan and wood spatula!

So it does the same as disabling them on Android.
> a systems language should make that clear

Folks always say this but never really clarify why this should be the case.

When doing low lever unsafe stuff Rust does indeed make it very clear if something is a pointer or not, and avoids weird coercions (even C doesn't do well here!)

But for normal code, does it really matter if something is a pointer or not? In C++ already with by-ref and move values and stuff you have implicit pointers in many places that don't behave as pointers.

Rust never goes the way of adding implicit allocations or implicit indirection; it only goes in the way of stripping it, which is rarely if ever a problem except when dealing with unsafe code (where Rust is more explicit on pointers anyway).

1) You can disable and remove them. If you do not use them, and plan on not using them, do disable them. Example: I use Firefox, not Chrome. I don't have Chrome installed (I do have Webview installed, obviously). Example: I use Spotify, not Google Play Music. I disabled that instead.

2) You can install Android without GApps (and even with microG). For example LineageOS. You can even decide to use minimal GApps such as the nano variant.

While I think paleo diets are going too far in the wrong direction in the search for a dietary solution, I emphasize with your observed problems. It seems that sugar is simply added by default to far too many foods.

The biggest thing I would suggest is to avoid canned foods, especially beans. Buy dried beans instead. They don't take that much effort to cook, the only thing is that you need to remember to soak them overnight (and discard the soaking water) before cooking. As an added bonus, dried beans, lentils, chickpeas and so on are inexpensive and widely available.

You could also get a pressure cooker, which is just a good idea in general, and will allow you to cook beans directly in about an hour.
They have a duopoly [1]. The linked article explains what a duopoly is, and cites relevant examples. I can tell you of another very relevant US-centric example but its not in business: Republican and democrat.

The impact a duopoly has on a market is vastly different from a monopoly. One problem could be price fixing; but that could happen with more than 2 companies as well. Then we speak of a cartel.

The problem with a monopoly isn't per se that it exists; it becomes anti competitive business practices when the monopoly is abused to exercise control over other markets. I'd like to compare it with a benign tumor which ends up spreading.

So, slightly paraphrasing, IIUC :
- multisig is more adapted for organizations, there is no need of trust between the key holders. And it's more secure, because it uses a more widely audited code than that of wallets.

- SSS seems more adapted for individuals. It has more flexibility and privacy in N and M, since no P2SH script identifier is sent to the blockchain. I guess transaction fees should also be lower.
I don't doubt that people have made mistakes involving spreadsheets. But these mistakes are not unique to spreadsheets. Switching to an enterprise system doesn't magically prevent data entry problems.[1] Similarly, you're as likely to implement an accounting function incorrectly in Excel as in SQL or Java.

I think that you need to show that Excel requires more data entry, or riskier data entry, or that Excel can't catch as many errors, etc. For now I'm not convinced.
