I love pixel art dungeon crawlers, but the competition is completely insane. I can't build something along the lines of Terraria or Starbound given a lifetime.

Glam metal isn't really a good analogy. I'd say it's more like building cathedrals. The market isn't what it used to be. They're still admirable and today's tools are better for them. But they're monumental work, even for the experienced, and you'd be insane to tackle that with 4 months of savings.

I want to make a game eventually, and I'm a risk taker, but even I would save up at least 3 years before I go indie.
"About a year ago, in Rust 1.13, we introduced the ?"

And that includes a link to the 1.13 announcement with a detailed explanation.
Agreed!

With one small caveat: the world is in turmoil at the moment (as usual, more than usual, not sure?), with big events hitting the economy worldwide: climate change, AI, self-driving cars, automation, ... you name it.

What is the chance of any one of those events to nuke your "London Real State in 100 years" strategy? Low. The combined chance of all those forces? Not so low.

What is the chance that real state in London will be wiped out (as a store of value) and bitcoin will not, in 100 years? The balance is tipped on the side of London, but not so much as you would think.

Interesting times ...
This similar in in Germany: It's not "everything is company property" but you need to ask permission to do "work" outside your employement, need to disclose if you create/"invent" something and allow the company to aquire your invention. Frankly, no idea how/if that will be enforced but something along these lines were in most contracted I had and it always made me feel uncomfortable.

I'm 64 years old and still work. Will likely work full time until I am at least 67. I plan on some form of work part time or otherwise till I'm 70.

I got hearing aids a year and 1/4 ago. I did not need a prescription. I live in the states. I have a blue tooth device to listen to podcasts and music. I can also plug in a direct cable since my laptop has crappy Bluetooth.

Having hearing aids and the Bluetooth device has been one of the best things I have done for myself in years. They take getting used to but the downside is worth it since the upside is so great.

My primary care doctor says she has many patients that need but won't get hearing aids. My audio doctor said I barley needed them. I say bull to that. I hear things now that I was missing for years.

I convinced my father in-law to get a pair at 80. He too thinks it is one of the best things he has done.

To be clear, at 64 I have pain, soreness, don't sleep as well as I would like, etc. But I also think I have the potential to enjoy life for many years.

There is a big market in the aging population.

"Two recent compiler changes should speed up compiles in debug mode. We don’t have any specific numbers to commit to with these changes, but as always, compile times are very important to us, and we’re continuing to work on improving them."

By out-of-band in this case, I mean out of the mainstream consumption of the internet (web browsers, https, ssl certs). ISPs could block everything other than this, and most internet users wouldn’t notice or care.

I think tools like IPFS will always need something like host names. Content-addressability helps you access the data once you have the address, but how can you know the latest ID of the thing you are looking for? In the IPFS world, you’d use IPNS (interplanetary name service) for this, but I’m not sure how it actually works in a distributed fashion.

I’m not a psychiatrist, my wife is. I don’t know hat 5-HT1A is or what your point is. The brain is an organ. It’s the only organ that can be harmed by non-physical means. My understanding is that behavior problems resulting from lack of certain “chemicals” or over abundance of them are psychiatric problems. Problems that don’t arise from such brain defects aren’t. When other organs are defective and don’t produce the right stuff to function properly people take drugs in order to function properly. The brain is no different except there are times the damage is not medical. There are gray areas.

Only with a poorly designed routing, networks, and VoIP systems. Routers can't cache meaningful amounts of network traffic, so assuming ~zero dropped packets you degrade bandwidth not latency. VoIP works fine with even minimal bandwidth so that's not an issue.

Dropped packets are a sign of poorly designed networks at which point you can't assume QoS will improve things. The added complexity might make things worse for all traffic.

A thief in a gold vault still has to carry the gold out, and that is difficult.

A thief in a vault with a bitcoin wallet just needs to write the private keys/seeds on a piece of paper (yes, I know about secret sharing schemes)

So bitcoin is much more vulnerable to a single person who fucks up or is malicious.
It's interesting to read because it's easy to think of the BBC is a staid, state organization whereas this demonstrates how it actively tries to fulfill its public service.

A while ago I went to an exhibition of the work of Oliver Postgate[1] who produced a number of very well known and delightful children's programmes for the BBC in the 1950s to 1980s.

There was a wonderful letter written by someone at the BBC about Postgate: https://twitter.com/jgrahamc/status/782295197078224896

"I feel it is our loss that we have so far been unable to find employment for this odd but valuable person".

There's a difference between having numbers and having specific numbers to commit to… If you want raw numbers, some are tracked at http://perf.rust-lang.org

Also, incremental compilation is making very good progress. More fuzzy numbers: I'm currently working on a mid-size Rust project, where the app crate has around 10k lines. `env CARGO_INCREMENTAL=1 cargo run --release` takes 2-3 seconds depending on what I changed.
I always increase the seq scan cost, but another thing that helped me more was updating the table statistics. In that way you can make the planner better aware of your indexes.

In my case I increased STATISTICS to 5000 and the planner immediately start using the index instead of full table scan.

I don't really want to respond to this wall of text. I can't even bring myself to read the the whole thing. Except I want to point out that I don't care what anybody on here thinks about my sexuality. I really don't. How could I? None of this is about -me- because nobody on here knows the slightest bit of detail about my personal life.

I just had a thought that I (and evidently at least one other person) found humorous, and I felt a desire to share, nothing nobler or less noble. I was utterly shocked that it prompted a flame war that came to the attention of the mods.

There is plenty of improvement over C: generics, ADTs, type inference, and toolchain. Which you can combine with raw pointer hackery if you want.
Hm; tried to revive some primary school-level physics/chemistry knowledge to calculate price-per-molecule or #-of-molecules-per-£. Is my calculation correct, or have I botched it? :)

Given atomic mass of C is 12.011, of N is 14.007, the molar mass [1] of the fullerene should be:

M(N@C60) = 14.007 + 60×12.011 [g/mol] = ~734.667 [g/mol]

Then, given:

N_A = 6.022140857e23 [1/mol] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant (number of molecules in 1 mol)

p_g = 200e6 [£/g] — price per gram given in article

n = ? [1/£] — number of molecules one would get for £1

I devised:

n = N_A / (p_g × M(N@C60)) = [1/mol] / ([£/g] × [g/mol]) = [1/mol] / [£/mol] = [1/£] = 6.022140857e23 / (200e6 × 734.667) [1/£] = ~ 4e12 [1/£] ?

In other words, it seems you could buy ~4'000'000'000'000 molecules for £1 ?

That's not the issue at all. The issue is that these systems invariably have no review process, no testing, and no versioning (at best they'll have each spreadsheet versioned with no real way to know what each version contains). And this makes them incredibly fragile.
The obvious counter to this is to ask what software you've written that many of us use several times a day, every day, and that you refrained from adding any humour to.

Free software almost always has the 'this is provided as is' caveat, and offers access to the source for you to review to ensure it's fit for purpose, so the whole 'This did something I don't approve of' complaint is a bit weak.

Further, the 'important program functionality' may not apply in the case of running the program in an atypical way - that is, without parameters - at a certain time of day.
And then you are vulnerable to a single guy with a phone camera. If I take a picture of your gold stash it doesn't become mine.

Join the Mux Team as Head of Developer Marketing
Mux is building video streaming infrastructure as a suite of APIs. See https://mux.com and https://mux.com/video for our first two products.

We've done it before - our co-founders previously founded Zencoder (acquired 2012 for $30M), created Video.js, and started the Demuxed conference for video engineers.

We're looking for someone to lead up our marketing efforts to developers. Our ideal candidate would have some mix of both development + marketing in their background, and would be excited about some mix of writing, speaking, building side projects, growth hacking, and traditional marketing.

More details at https://mux.workable.com/j/F54837DA1F.

Apple launchd is way more limited, and has much narrower scope (single-seated, single-session desktop). We could talk days about features that systemd provides and launchd doesn't.

I've seen only single case of criticism of systemd that was correct and constructive (too bad I didn't bookmark it); I don't count rants that boil down to "it's different than I'm used to", or "it has broken my broken nfs config" as plenty or well argumented.

The efi issue was indeed a bug in the devices. If was up to the manufacturer to fix it, not for other software to maintain workarounds indefinitely.

The games industry is a harsh mistress. With the number of games coming out, being a great game is not enough to make a "hit", even with modest goal of 700 sales.

I feel like he put a lot of faith on his effort instead of looking at the results. 187 e-mails and 10K tweet impressions does not translate into games sold. How many of those e-mails got a positive response? How many previews on Youtube, Twitch, other channels? From what I have read steam wishlists have a 1:6 ratio to sales on good days, but again it's all empty promises.

Yes, once [1] lands, you can add it with `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown` and then you can `cargo build --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown`.

You should note that it's not as simple as that, though. Depending on the context you want to run WASM you might need to do additional steps. E.g., when running this in a browser, you might not be able to use the std lib to spawn threads just yet.

Fascinating that The Who were considered an R&B group early in their career, then transitioned to hard rock.

As for Led Zeppelin, I'm amazed that they still had to pass an audition after they released the eponymous Led Zeppelin record (the one with the Hindenberg exploding on the cover). That's got to be one of the best albums of the 1960s, if not in the whole of rock. Looks like the jury was out at that early stage of things, though.

I suggest you find a grass roots organization you believe in and engage. Over the past two years, I've learned so much, been to DC and met many US Reps and Senators, met with State leaders and even Mayors and city councilors. My opinion of how our system works has changed from almost exactly yours to, if you want to get our way, show up. That's right. Meet people, talk, and share ideas and network. Show up. Be the guy that talks about how net neutrality is going to kill your business, or destroy educational opportunities for children in your district. Stories are super powerful. And being a constituent who shows up in DC and shares stories helps a ton. Money is not as valuable when optics and power are the currency.

Haven't heard of shaping before in the UK. I'm not aware there's any form of payment for prioritised traffic, at least not for broadband. On the contrary, BT participates heavily in LINX, the London network exchange.

Speed differences will happen though, e.g. I notice that Netflix sometimes tends to be a bit slower but that doesn't improve using a VPN so that I guess it's not BT's fault.
Right, but wehat you detect is the eye colour, not the genes that cause it. Similarly with the rats they detect the pheromones in a male's smell, not the XY chromosomes. So suggesting they detect the XY chromosomes isn't helpful.

A seasonal writer here. I’m trying to find out what developers look for while selecting a database for a native app? By database, I meant local as well as server-side.

What are the challenges, or features that you look for. For instance:
Offline sync feature
Read/write speed
Data types
Security

And so on.

I couldn’t find any relevant guide for developers, so I’m researching to write one.
