If you were a pre-IPO stockholder you would also be a post-IPO stockholder. Selling some of your shares in the IPO at $20 and the rest in a few months at $40 may better than selling a few at the IPO at $40 and the rest in a few months at $20.

uint8_t is really not very hard to type.

Personally I would much prefer uint16_t over u16. Confusion over type handling is a source of some of the worst bugs. Remember, uint16 isn't the same as 16 bits if you consider endian-ness.

I'm building a command line tool in python for front end development. Im self taught and never actually have built anything. Besides that, I was unhappy with everything else out there. I could either learn someone else's tool or learn to build my own.

I do have a question. I'm using urllib.request instead of using requests to download normalize and I found conflicting information regarding if it was safe or not.

Finally, can I get feedback on my website. Gotta lose the fear.

Here’s a good discussion of IPO pricing, and why it’s not so simple as “set the price wrong”:

Yes. I think we've all experienced and been perpetrators of this. Its so base and natural to want to maintain your own viewpoints that everyone does this naturally. The way I try to get around it for myself is actually imagine I am that person and seeing the world through their eyes. This does give you a very bad emotional feeling that you have to fight against, but it does help, it especially gives you better prodding questions that are genuinely for understanding and not malicious.

What do the icons at the top of the page do? (The music note, rain drop, anchor, etc) I think they are some sort of filter but click them doesn't seem to do anything. A tooltip or quick note might help the user know what they are for.

would you consider adding soundcloud integration? I have a bunch of playlists/music that I can only find on soundcloud and want a way to integrate with youtube playlist for continuous play/mixed playlists.

are you open to outsider help? I've been looking for a project to help contribute to and really like what you have started. Wouldn't mind helping with some PRs if you are open to it.

Great work!

Elon and SpaceX have enough existing 'juice' or brand cachet or whatever to get away with a move like this and maybe even get a PR boost from it. My local Girl Scouts chapter, Jeep club, etc... not so much. They're married to Facebook as infrastructure.

Have an app idea? A strategist’s no BS take on the basics you need to know [FAQ]
Sometime I don't know what trait I need, but I do know what kind of operation I want. In documentation such as Python's, I can "ctrl + F" for word similar to what I want to do and I usually find what I need. In rust, that textual description is usually hidden on the trait's page. This is probably more frustrating to beginners who don't know what most of the basic traits are. In general though, the standard library is better about this than other libraries.

There's a road that's effectively like that near where I live. AFAIK the traffic laws in my home state dictate that a speed limit change on a road takes immediate effect at the location of the sign indicating a new speed. There is a place where the limit goes from 25 to 35 and the signs on opposite sides of the road are at least a half mile apart, meaning that depending on which way you're going on that stretch the speed limit could be legally interpreted as 25 or 35. It seems like this would be dependent on specific interpretations of various state laws.

I think it makes sense to for Velodyne to get a head of the message before any client throw Velodyne under the bus. If Velodyne takes the hit, all their suppliers have leverage over them. Staying ahead keeps the clients confident in Velodyne products.

Also scale-wise, the market is tiny at this point. Nobody cares the sales from quarter to quarter because whenever self-driving cars hit mainstream, all previous numbers will be scribbles in the margin.

Velodyne has a finger in practically every major self driving car pie slice. It's pretty much heads you lose, tails I win for them (Assumption:nobody can bring a better laser to market).

By saying that a person can't voluntarily agree to become a slave, you are saying that you, not they, have the right to determine what happens to them. That is the essence of slavery right there. By taking away their choice you are claiming ownership over them. You haven't eliminated slavery at all; you've just assumed the role of slave-owner yourself "for their own good", much as other slave owners throughout history have justified their actions by claiming that their slaves would be incapable of managing on their own as free individuals.
There is statistically insignificant risk.

The US shares land borders with only two foreign countries: Canada and Mexico. We have been at peace with the former since 1815, and strong allies since 1940. Relations with the latter have been a bit less cordial, exacerbated by racism and corruption. But there's very little risk of invasion there. So any potential direct attacker would have to come by sea, through the largest navy on Earth.

I think the only way to reasonably do it would be by subverting an entire municipal government and then buying up military hardware through the police department. The force would have to be trained to capture and use military assets already in place. But then what would they do with them? Nothing you could do would be more profitable than just sitting back and running the government you already control just like a corrupt American politician would. And the reason is that suburban Americans would NIMBY a foreign invasion just as strenuously as they would a proposed nuclear power plant, a new Wal-Mart, or some mid-rise apartment blocks. Just think how that go if everyone were allowed to shoot their guns at each other.

Most people do not own firearms. But those who don't mostly live in cities. Everyone in a rural area owns at least one, without exception (hyperbole), even if it's just the one they use for unsalvageable injured livestock and large predators. Suburbanites keep rifles for recreational target shooting and hunting, but for personal defense you're probably better off with a shotgun or a sidearm. A lot of my neighbors carry daily, for no particularly good reason that I can discern. I don't care to know who's packing and who isn't, but you can often tell by looking at the purses or clothing.

I don't have one, but I saw a neighbor shoot a snake on the sidewalk across the street once. That guy's kind of an idiot, but he didn't miss. It wasn't venomous, and he probably didn't eat it, but he didn't have to be afraid of it any more, either. So I guess it wards off the bogeyman?

I'd estimate that 98.6% of rural households own at least one gun, 20% of urban households keep some, and 50% of suburban households. Most people who own any guns at all have no more than one sidearm, one rifle, and one shotgun, and a large number of the total number of guns are found in collections of 20 or more. You have to be rich or inherit antiques to hoard guns like that. Most people would probably stop after a 1911A pistol or .357mag revolver, a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 or similar 12ga pump shotgun, and a .22LR rifle. Those guns are cheap, versatile, use cheap and widely available ammunition, have plenty of clones, and can serve most gun-owner purposes that's aren't hunting things larger than squirrels. A subset will also get a 5.56 or .223 military-inspired rifle for keeping the king of England out of your face, and a mostly disjoint subset will have one very good larger-caliber rifle and huge chest freezer for hunting deer every November. Hunters and hoplophiles tolerate one another, but they are usually more allies than friends.

This is true and also illegal and against Facebook's TOS - they state regardless of any of that you can control your data.

> My code was littered with .as_str() and .to_string().

PSA: If you have a variable that's a String, you can easily pass it to anything that expects a &str just by taking a reference to it:

fn i_take_a_str(x: &str) {}
let i_am_a_string = "foo".to_string();
i_take_a_str(&i_am_a_string);

Every variable of type &str is just a reference to a string whose memory lives somewhere else. In the case of string literals, that memory is in the static data section of your binary. In this case, that memory is just in the original allocation of your String.
Yeah. The authors don't want you to delete your facebook. They want you to share their article on your facebook (it's right there at the top of the page!).

The people/person who wrote the article seem desperate for you to not follow the directions. They want you to go to Facebook and starting sharing and liking content right away. They just want your money.
If you're targeting a mid-sized company or bigger, your resume will most likely first be parsed[1], with key skills, education, years of experience (etc) extracted and stored in some kind of applicant tracking system, and then loosely searched against. Your resume will likely not be looked at by human eyes until it passes through this filter, so it's important to consider making your resume as machine-readable as possible: Minimal formatting, key technical terms should be abundant, standard date formats, etc. Only after this should consider how it reads naturally, and make any appropriate adjustments for subindustry (e.g. academically-focused jobs generally want to see education first, etc.) and company.

Sure, we call it pump and dump. Awesome for insiders but terrible for investors. I'm talking from an investor perspective. By going public today it might only benefit a few early birds such as founders, angels, founding team, etc. If the market crashes it's terrible for new investors, anyone who bought the IPO. If you IPO after a storm your stock can only go up from the bottom.

the existence of exceptions seems to bely the idea of minimal changes to make idiomatic C code idiomatic Cforall code.

While C does have longjmp and friends, usage of them is hardly idiomatic, so most C code assumes no non-local tranfer of control happens when calling functions. Coding with non-local transfer of control and without require very different idioms.

One thing I like to do with a new language is to re-implement a self-contained but non-trivial program that I've built before. I have a few but my favorite is a genetic algorithm which breeds rule sets for a cellular automaton to get the CA to solve some simple computation problems. It's not at all complex, a few hundred lines when done in Python, but it's more than a tiny example. I like it for learning new languages as it touches on various data structures, it's inherently parallelizable, it's not especially bound to any particular programming paradigm, it lends itself to exploring various useful concepts and constructs (function pointers, closures, recursion, etc.), and it is fun and interesting to work on.

So maybe you have something similar, something where you really understand the problem and the solution, freeing your brain to focus entirely on seeing how it would map to Rust.
