Perhaps it's just an issue of me not being educated enough with this kind of low-level Rust. Setting panic to abort in the cargo config did indeed fix `eh_personality` being undefined, but `eh_unwind_resume` still seems finnicky. Building in release will work, but building in debug will still complain

Wasn't Rust invented to write a GUI? A webbrowser can be regarded as a kind of GUI.
> it doesn't actually change the grammar of the language

Yes it does! That's the entire point.

It doesn't change the grammar of the language that the generated code is using, but you don't care, because you're not writing in that language.

Exactly. And here I was thinking there was such a thing as 'being an adult' and 'education' and 'freedom of speech' - do we really want to undermine the basic tenets of the Age of Reason? Because if I am not mistaken, censorship was a widespread reality and it took a very long time and a lot of blood to crawl out from underneath it. In other words: Do you think Hitler could have been stopped by not letting 'The Stormer' publish?

I for one am looking forward to perhaps Amazon stepping in to the subscription-based technical library. Safaribooksonline's library selection is very vast - without an easy eBook-reader option to consume the books, one has to keep reading on lcd screens - goes without saying that the eyes are getting sore quite fast and reading is not really pleasant. Should Amazon join the party, I'd be more than happy to buy something like an oasis (but bigger) and read on that.

When it comes to the sole idea of subscription-based tech books, I'm a big fan, too - programming books get obsolete really quick nowadays. Python, GO, Kotlin etc. - all see minor or major updates making older titles outdated. Why pay $30-$50 for a book which will be partially or fully redundant in 2-3 years? Instead I am willing to pay those $20/month and have a big library at my fingertips, easy copy-paste of programming code when learning at the pc, checking out titles which I would probably not buy in retail on my own and many more.

I find the same thing even with critically acclaimed "Thinking Fast and Slow" or "Power of habit". On the other hand sometimes blogposts may not be exhaustive enough. IMO roughly 60-100 pages is the perfect format – you don't need to overly simplify the topic (like in blogpost, newspaper article) but you don't need to repeat yourself 10 times over (like in 300-400 page book).
But Facebook is not doing whatever they want - they are doing whatever they believe they need to do to avoid violating the law.
A compiler takes input in one language and converts it to another language. That the web community has a fundamental misunderstanding of this and created a derivative word with the same meaning is unfortunate. That it is now being used in misguided pedantic arguments reflects poorly on our community.

In that case it's no different from Rust, Rust has a GC option (ref counting). It's limited and opt-in then you still carry the cognitive burden of memory management, you have to think when to use it. But if you need that level of control, you'll need to think about memory anyway.

And in my experience, it's way easier to reason about allocations in Rust that it is in Java (automatic type erasure if you want to use generic code) or Go (how will escape analysis behave in that case ?) for example. Rust traits are way better than C++ interfaces in that regard also.

Interesting stuff though.

Has there been any further research or developments relating to this since then?
First of all, that is "stars added in that year", not "stars total".

Secondly, shouldn't the fact that that would have made Polymer #3 given you some thought?

Polymer has ~19k stars total.

React has ~85k stars total.

Vue has ~80k stars total.

AngularJS (v1) has ~58k stars total.

Angular (v2+) has ~32k stars total.

Ember has ~18.6k stars total.

Preact has ~17k stars total.

So Polymer is behind React, Vue, AngularJS and Angular on total stars, having just surpassed Ember. Placing it 3rd in the rising stars list would have placed it before Angular.

I'd think "Polymer is more popular than Angular" would have been pretty newsworthy.
There aren't any good GUI libraries available for Rust at the moment. GUI libraries are huge and take an enormous amount of work to get right. It's typically only the most popular three or four languages at any given point in time that have satisfactory GUI libraries. Rust has the additional burden that it is far from trivial to wrap Gtk, Qt or other C/C++ toolkits in a safe manner.

You're talking about just over a month. I think it's a little unfair to expect people to maintain hobby projects every week of every year. Particularly over Christmas and the new year when our lives are often busier than usual.

To use a personal example, an open source project I actively maintain only yesterday saw it's first commits since the end of November. But I am still very much committed to that project.

Writing a minimal x86-64 JIT compiler in C++, Part 2
The article quotes studies claiming that people who grow up with conflict in their personal lives are more likely to be comfortable with differing opinions and certain forms of creative debate.

Since there's seemingly some benefit of exposure to these kinds of negative experiences, they mention advice on how to mitigate the negative aspect of conflict.

But I think it's actually great advice to teach children/students these civil, but pseudo-adversarial skills as general purpose cooperative reasoning tools completely independent of conflict-management. From the article:

• Frame it as a debate, rather than a conflict.

• Argue as if you’re right but listen as if you’re wrong.

• Make the most respectful interpretation of the other person’s perspective.

• Acknowledge where you agree with your critics and what you’ve learned from them.

These behaviors correlate very strongly with the people I personally have found most intelligent and productive in group settings.
I don't know if NYT's assessment of the study is accurate (the study is paywalled), but here's the key paragraph for people trying to decide if this or the study is worth reading:

>> It turns out that highly creative adults often grow up in families full of tension. Not fistfights or personal insults, but real disagreements. When adults in their early 30s were asked to write imaginative stories, the most creative ones came from those whose parents had the most conflict a quarter-century earlier. Their parents had clashing views on how to raise children. They had different values and attitudes and interests. And when highly creative architects and scientists were compared with their technically skilled but less original peers, the innovators often had more friction in their families. As the psychologist Robert Albert put it, “the creative person-to-be comes from a family that is anything but harmonious, one with a ‘wobble.’ ”

Referenced study: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092656698...

There's another study linked, but the rest is anecdata built on famous people that, personally, wasn't too illuminating on a skim. It might be interesting to read for the narrative.

All of the markers are merged into tiles and cached, and it is more efficent for the browser to just load these than it would be to create a separate circle or image for each marker. At zoom level 15 and higher actual individual markers are drawn (each one as a separate png image).

There are still two layers, but both just contain image tiles: one contains the base map, and the other contains red circles on a transparent background.

>> We really need to teach Facebook, Twitter, Uber, AirBNB and all those companies some manners and respect for our society.

As a German, let me tell you that this sounds absolutely ridiculous, arrogant and hubristic. You want your German Extrawurst. We're not "one society", not everyone agrees with the tons of laws and regulations we have (mostly on account of special pleading and lobbyism).

German users came to Facebook and Twitter first, not the other way around. These are not German companies, they don't need to operate out of Germany, so why should they have to follow our every law? If anything, you'd be "teaching" them not to bother with Germany, because it's too much of a pain in the ass.
Stars are pretty useless for what they wanted to measure. Real-world data paints a different picture http://www.npmtrends.com/angular-vs-react-vs-vue-vs-@angular...

Even searching Github for 'import React from 'react' and 'import Vue from 'vue' results in similar percentages. Roughly 7-8 million projects in Github on React, under a million on Vue.

Despite the hype, Vue has been mostly a flat over the last 2 years with a slight upward bend, but only to the point where it begins to catch up with the old Angular 1.x.

since these are city locations only I am curious if they are following the Audi example of limiting the maximum speed they will run. i have read articles of Audi keeping a very low limit and the next stage raising it but requiring an "escape" where the car can pull over if the driver fails to interact when required.

going to be so liberating for many people when autonomous cars can be called on demand. anecdotal but i have friends who need treatment on a regular basis that cannot drive themselves and buses are not close enough but this tech can free them to not have to rely on volunteers
Conformist in what way? Are you living in the 1950s? Our media and culture certainly does not preach this kind of behavior, but rather the opposite: if you are virgin by 20, don't drink and don't do drugs, you are a loser.
This is why I love how in many countries in Europe criminal record is something you have to provide willingly, if they don't ask it from you then they won't get it.

Yes, thanks, but I am aware of the analogies I use.

Are you actually confused about the fact that Facebook is not actually a court, and thus by definition whatever Facebook does is not actually a "criminal case", and that thus my point is not about whether or not what Facebook does would be referred to by a legal scholar as a "criminal case", but about whether it quacks like a criminal case, it walks like a criminal case, therefore, it is a criminal case, in all respects except for exactly the detail that it is handled by Facebook and not by a court, which is exactly the problem that I am pointing out?

I don't like all our laws either (this included) but I accept that as a society we must respect and enforce the laws we democratically choose to enact. Rule of law is a fundamental pillar of society and if that is stopped getting accepted by society at large we are in for a bad time. I don't make the laws and Facebook doesn't either.

If Facebook and co. don't want to operate in Germany, they are free to withdraw from that market. They clearly target Germany and there is a lot of money to be made here. If they want that - fine but please respect that we play by our rules here.

There is no mature GUI library for Rust that I'm aware of. I believe the servo project is focused on writing a browser rendering engine, not a browser GUI. It certainly has not so far yielded a GUI toolkit that can be straightforwardly used in other projects.
Well, Firefox _could_ passively observe your life and update your preferences (better than Facebook or Google do, if it's the primary browser - since they'd observe you across all activities). It's just that it wouldn't need to share that information with anyone except you - it stays local. That's what I love about the system - you can be as targeted/"privacy invasive" as you wish without actually invading anyone's privacy, since people stay firmly in control of their own data.

To add to that, "private mode" would actually do what people expect it to do - keep them anonymous on the web, and not leak sensitive/ embarrassing information about themselves.

The title is misleading. I did a science project on this in the early 1990s. The paper mentions that the retention of memories after decapitation has been known since the 1950s. The news here seems to be that they have developed a computerized system to allow for easier, more consistent study of this phenomenon. This reminds me of Feynman's Cargo Cult of Science essay where he talks about the research that went into how to research rats, and why that was good science that many others ignored.

Software is more than just language features. Rob undoubtedly meant that he wanted it to be quick to be understood by a vast majority of Googlers, so that they can focus on writing good software.
I dunno if I agree, the borrow checker in Rust requires a lot more active thinking and intervention to get memory right. Objective-C and Swift ARC is really straightforward and there are few gotchas. Kinda like GC.
Again what is your use case. Ours was to have a high performance compiled code that can be slower than Java by a factor of 10. Unfortunately Rust could cut it.

How to get poor people at least to an average income while making some money yourself.

I'm from Germany and at least here I have the feeling that the issue is mostly missing education opportunities for older people.

Sure, the "really" poor without any job have more time on their hands, but there are probably a huge bunch of people who could work as taxi diver or waiter, who can make 1000€ a month without the need of too much education.

While you probably can mingle with the "Arbeitsagentur" (part of the public service for unemployed people) to get the people without income paid by them while you re-educate them, the much bigger part are the people who work but simply don't make enough money to have an okay life.

Also, while you have to get the second part of the people like 1000€ a month so they can do their re-education fulltime, you also have to make money yourself.

All I found today were some models, where the re-educated had to pay like 10-20% of their first income as payment later. This doesn't sound too bad, since it forces the education-company to get them ready for jobs, but on the other hand it maybe prevents people from getting good jobs? I don't really know.

The other model could be more like Mozilla does it, getting big sponsors, but then you are working for the sponsors and not for your customers anymore :/
Yeah I wanted to. I reached out to my Rust devs and everybody said that my code is perfectly fine. It means I have to dig into the library code but does not have enough knowledge about Rust performance and what tooling I am supposed to do or what are the knobs that I need to adjust for higher performance.
I'm a little rusty on the topic, but it seems ([0]) that adding `#[no_mangle]` before `panic_fmt` should fix it.

Show HN: Small todo app with create-react-kotlin-app
Hi all! This is my first post on this account.

Here is a small todo app I wanted to share for anyone looking into Kotlin / React. Note that it doesn't implement the MVC part of todomvc, the localstorage, and the router components. Those are todos (we'll see :).. I have local code that implements those features though, but that's a WIP).

Some thoughts as a student dev with some JavaScript experience:

I found that it was really easy to get into Kotlin + React (from a JavaScript perspective) compared to other alternatives (Reason/Scala/etc) not only because the language is really concise/expressive/simple/easy-to-learn, but also because it didn't add unfamiliar tools. create-react-kotlin-app allowed me to use the same workflow I already use (npm/yarn/package.json) and also of course get the same create-react-app benefits (psuedo-hot-reloading, no configs early on, production build) I'm used to.

I'm open to all advice as I'm still very new to Kotlin. I'm sure there are tons of things I could have done better (I was mostly writing code based on the HTML structure produced by other demos -- code can definitely be improved). One goal was to keep everything immutable.

All build instructions and stuffs are included in the README.md.
This is at least wrong in Germany, they are handled by different courts, will not show up on criminal record etc., it's more like a civil case, but with the government. Though of course you could park your car so horribly that it might get to be one, there's criminal neglect.
Public not pubic. SMH
It also does not mean that the issue is fixed.
Is inciting people to violence really anything other than expressing the opinion that violence is a good idea, and trying to persuade others to agree? Expressing any opinion should be allowed, and trying to persuade anyone of anything should be allowed.
