My rules of thumb:

This is business - it's never rude to just ignore something that you're not interested in, unless it's from someone you know personally.

I always ignore the ones that seem like form letters. They are very generically worded notices for a short-term contract in a faraway city (eg. "Immediate opening for Ruby with ITStaffingPros at Portland, OH"). These people don't usually ping twice, and if they do, they all look the same to me anyway. They actually look so similar that I have filters in my email for keywords that I've learned to associate with low-quality job notices to go straight to spam.

I tend to answer or return cold calls only when I'm actively looking. Otherwise I just ignore them, or at most I shoot them an email saying I'm not currently in the market.

When I get a message from a recruiter who seems like they've actually done some research on me as an individual (and not just someone spamming to a database of leads), I'll usually respond to them even if I'm not actively looking. I've noticed these recruiters tend to be the ones with the best positions so I like to have them in my network.

I never speak in an impolite or rude way to a recruiter.

It will 100% need to be replaced after the warranty runs out. And Apple charges a fee to people who want to claim they're "licensed" service technicians, and you need to work at such a certified shop to get genuine parts.

My point is: it's a fantastically anti-user-interest system and yet another example of the perpetual forced obsolescence that people refuse to call Apple on. And their groundbreaking work in forced obsolescence and PR aircover has made it acceptable for every other phone manufacturer to follow suit. Hooray!
Ebola is one such virus. In terms of evolution these viruses tend to burn out by killing the host. Evolutionary pressures push viruses towards symbiotic equilibrium. Thus in the worst case scenario there will be survivors who are immune or the virus or the virus will burn out until the only strain left does not harm humans. The later was the case with ebola.
Tokio is about being flexible (true today, even more true in the upcoming release). It is more about set of primitives that you can assemble in a way that fits your needs. You can structure the concurrency of your application however you want.

> High I/O systems usually spawn multiple reactors, e.g. one reactor per CPU core.

Depends on what you are calling multiple reactors. If you mean a loop that responds to events and run tasks, then yes. For example, you can plug in [this](http://github.com/carllerche/futures-pool) as the task executor and get a multi threaded, work stealing, scheduler.

Or, maybe you are talking about OS level selectors (epoll), in which case you are going to run up against OS limitations.
Depends what you mean by require. There are some important blacklists on both ublock and adblock that are off by default, they can be enabled.

> But the prevalence of password sharing suggests many of those customers [...] are watching popular shows [...] for free, robbing pay-TV providers and programmers of [...] advertising dollars.

Can someone help me understand how it is robbing them of advertising dollars? I understand it's robbing them of fees (though I don't like the double-dip model and especially loathe the concept of retransmission fees). But I don't understand how more "free" eyeballs are costing advertising dollars. In fact, I would think more eyeballs would be an advertiser's goal.
Hehe I know! Calling it "chutes" is so weird. The wikipedia page is fascinating. I had no idea it's so ancient, or Indian. "The historic version had root in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). ... The most widely known edition of Snakes and Ladders in the United States is Chutes and Ladders released by Milton Bradley in 1943. The playground setting replaced the snakes, which were received negatively by children at the time." (!)

There is no way this is true. Not saying that it isn't a problem, but statements like the above are approaching the same level of BS as when the ad industry says most people would prefer to trade their privacy for the privilege of being manipulated by targeted ads.

I can't help but get the sense that this is just a closed-minded way to think about things. Yes, if you've been studying transportation for decades you have probably got drilled into your head that "this is how public transit is supposed to work".

I'm sure there were plenty of people who made similar arguments about taxis when Uber started up. Or about horses when cars were invented. Or about planes, electricity, etc. Any fairly revolutionary technology started with most people saying "you're insane". I mean you don't even have to look far -- many of Musk's other accomplishments were scorned, too. Reusable rockets? Electric cars people actually want? That's ridiculous! Until it isn't...

People have been building their lives around available transport since the stone age. Nothing Musk is proposing is set to change that.
Vancouver has them and (while the SkyTrain has had loads of issues) the autonomous part isn't one of them, this may be due to the fact that the rails are not at ground level which prevents stupid humans from doing stupid stuff along with a higher emphasis on avoiding collisions over getting places (when it snows sometimes sensors will get tripped and prevent the system from allowing any trains to run over a section because the system believes that section is occupied)

>> And there’s like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer, OK, great

These two points of what Musk says are the core point, I believe. With a tight enough, and especially, well timed, mesh of rail, light-rail (tram) and buses you can solve the "doesn't take me where I want" problem, and for example in Munich it is solved well.

What is not solved is the "strangers" issue: cities all over the world have a yuge homeless persons "problem" - and this is what I dislike about public transport. Cities must tackle the (growing!) problem of homelessness first, if they want to increase acceptance of public transport. Give drunks, junkies and hobos safe places to stay, both during night and day, and lots of problems associated with public transport will go away. Often enough, public transport and its stations are the only thing that's both open 24/7 and warm...

I think a big part was the licensing issue. Before April 2017, the official compiler back-end was some non-open-source license (dunno which). In this day and age I couldn't see using a compiler that wasn't free software. But now that's been fixed --- the reference compiler is now all Boost licensed, and GDC (the GCC front-end) has even been officially accepted into GCC (woot!).

Also, I'm not sure how long the standard package repository and module installer (dub) has been around. But that's here now too.

I think the future of D looks very bright. I'm still learning, but to me D seems somewhat similar to Python, except:

* it's compiled to native code instead of interpreted

* it's syntax uses curlies/semis instead of whitespace

* it's statically typed (but has type inference so you can type many variables as just "auto" and the type is inferred)

* it has [dub](https://code.dlang.org/) instead of the [cheeseshop](https://cheeseshop.python.org) (of course, the cheeseshop is currently much larger)

Anyhow, very much enjoying D so far. :) I expect D's popularity to grow as more people desire a statically-typed, compiled language, with the convenience of a GC and easy access to native (C) libraries.
There is also the fact that the renewal vote happens on an election cycle. If the republicans hold the house, the tax cuts will be renewed. If the democrats take control, they will be forced to expire the cuts since they are planning to campaign heavily on the tax bills as bad for the public. This means that if the GOP loses control, the following year taxes will go up on most voters and help reinforce the GOP narrative of the Democrats as the party of taxation.

> The USA has mad many and the number of passengers caried is orders of magnitude less

The only way I can see to arrive at that statement is to count all train accidents but only Amtrak ridership (total US rail ridership is about 570MM rides, but Amtrak is only about 30MM of that).
Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking of it as closer to holding one's breath/atmosphere leaving. I hadn't thought of it simply being an increase in C02 concentration.
> Can I force minimum wage waiting around at 5am in areas with insufficient passengers?

In the EU, legally, yes, as long as Uber's stance is that if you are logged into the app, you are available for work and must accept fares. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive_2003: "The SIMAP judgment defined all time when the worker was required to be present on site as actual working hours, for the purposes of work and rest calculations. The Jaeger judgment confirmed that this was the case even if workers could sleep when their services were not required."

Will Uber actually pay you minimum wage if you try this? No, they will fire you. Or they will implement a special mode in their app saying "thank you for trying to log in, but your services are currently not needed, so we won't let you".

Just because you aren't aware of the many many very detailed rules in this area, that doesn't mean that there are no rules.

Another inkscape tutorial on 2dgameartguru on character design just went online. This one is about rotating a character's face using simple shapes and guidelines to place, skew, rotate and scale the facial elements easily.

The tutorial is written using Inkscape (a free vector program) but the same technique would apply in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Affinity Designer, etc.
In the article, it sounded like there is actually a guarantee that the (pointer, integer, integer) representation is used in rust.

They are close to being equivalent, but maybe with weird-sized objects, the (pointer, pointer, pointer) version requires some divisions, and the other one only requires multiplications?
Exemptions have been removed entirely. That's a deduction of $4,050 per child that went away. However, Child Tax Credits increased from $1,000 to $2,000 (with $1,400 being fully refundable).

For someone in a 25% tax bracket, the additional $1,000 credit is basically the same as a $4,000 exemption.

> Your carbon footprint commuting on high-occupancy diesel trains while living in a 50 year old highrise is usually going to be significantly lower than commuting in a Tesla and living in green detached house.

I think it could be a tossup, depending on how green the house really is. But making a truly low carbon footprint detached suburban house is still prohibitively expensive in some climates, due to space and water heating needs.

If you take the same green tech and apply it in a multidwelling context, then it becomes more economically feasible.

You see something similar today with Internet services like iPass that provide gigabit Ethernet service only in buildings with more than a certain number of units.
I guess you'd have to do the math and maybe there's an edge case but it seems almost totally and completely inconceivable that you'd be better off increasing your rate of payroll income (which also adds the 2.9% Medicare tax as well) in hopes of one day getting larger social security checks, rather than the alternative of keeping and saving it now.

Hmm... Not sure what to think about this.

The real question is: What role should publishers/distributors have, and be allowed to have?

From a writer's standpoint, I think it was common not to grant the publisher a perpetual license. The publisher would offer the author an advance and get exclusivity. If the book made enough money to cover that advance, the copyright would revert to the author (publisher may still have license to keep publishing, but not exclusivity).

In today's world, people can and do make big money self publishing on Amazon, so the hold publishers had has reduced. The argument makes less sense now than 20 years ago.

If you want to argue that self publishing is still a crap shoot compared to traditional publishers, then we have to recognize the great value publishers can bring to the author, and discuss why government intervention (i.e. law) is necessary in this case.

I can totally understand that opinion, but let me give a further view on that:

I implemented in the last years dozens of async/event-driven networking libraries, and wanted to do the same in Rust about 4 years ago. I guess I even started to work on the first async IO libraries for it (https://github.com/Matthias247/revbio). However I also got frustrated quite quickly with it, since the ownership model makes the typical solutions for asynchronous programming super hard (e.g. callbacks or callback interfaces). Therefore I also gave up on that (and also temporarily on the language).

However some years and evolution of Rust later my viewpoint on this changed a bit:

- Asynchronous I/O is generally messy and leaves a lot of room for errors. E.g. each callback that is involved might cause reentrancy problems or invalidations, object lifetimes might not be well-defined or matching expectations, etc. While most languages still allow it, it's hard to get fully right. Especially when manual memory management is involved. Async I/O plus multithreading is mostly a recipe for disaster.

- Rust just puts these facts directly in our face, and wants to you to go the extra route to provide that things are working directly. It's far from easy to figure out how to do this in a sane way. I think the tokio authors did an awesome job on finding some primitive abstractions with the poll model that allows for async I/O and uses Rusts type system for safety guarantees. It's a little bit akward to use without syntactic sugar like async/await or coroutines, but I think that is in the nature of the problem.

- Trying to do async IO probably shows off the domain which is the most inconvenient in Rust (besides similar problems like object-oriented and callback-driven UI frameworks). Therefore it shouldn't be used as a general point of measurement how easy or complex Rust is to use.

This convinces me my suspicions are correct. They want to replace desktops with iPhones.

Apple has been drastically increasing the power of the processors in iPhones. Now they’re unifying the iOS and macOS experience.

They’re going to create a desktop mode within iOS. It’ll use bluetooth peripherals and an HDMI Airplay stick that plugs into a monitor.

The iPhone will become a PC we carry around in our pockets containing all our data making it unnecessary to have a different computer in every place we go to. And it will justify spending more on our phones because we’ll be saving not buying desktops.

What worked great for me is to simply show a dialog with PayPal donation buttons after my app has been started 10 times.

With the 10 starts threshold only regular users get the dialog and if they don't like it, they can uncheck a box and never see it again.

On average, I get one donation for every 1000 downloads which appears to be a relatively good rate.

I've written a few production-facing applications with Tokio; and I think the author exactly identifies the stumbling blocks I hit while learning the landscape.

My takeaway from working with Tokio is that it's a fairly low-level abstraction and doesn't do much to address the challenges of building networked _applications_. And this is OK.

We'll need higher-level layers that use Tokio, however, to address more specific use cases. I'll point to the nascent tower-grpc[1] library as something in this direction. I hope to see more things like this fall out of our work on Conduit[2].

You are confusing legality with ethics. Ethically, Uber has a lot to be desired.

Uber is a US based company and will try to follow the capitalistic model as much as possible unless restricted by local laws. I would never make an assumption that a US based company's goal is to do good. Assume they are out to maximize profit no matter where they operate. If they seem to do good then there is a driver in their business model where this leads to more profits than doing bad.
