Two things jump out at me:

1. Automatic reference counting is a really good alternative to GC. It takes a little bit more book-keeping, but the performance characteristics are predictable since allocations/frees are handled along the way. Many GC implementations require execution to be halted while the reference graph is traced, which makes it a non-starter for applications trying to deliver predictable real-time performance.

2. Most of the limitations in Rust you're lamenting are there to ensure that your code is safe and performant. Rust requires adapting to very different design-patterns than you might be used to to get these benefits: if something is hard to do in Rust it's probably an anti-pattern with respect to memory performance or safety. Then again if performance isn't your main concern, maybe you don't need Rust.
Nothing calamitous other than the inability to compensate for crop failures which periodically left families starving. They didn't have to worry about repossessions of course, on the basis they were closer to being property than owning property. The salient fact about modern unemployment in developed countries is that unemployed people (and especially seasonally un[der]employed people) generally receive more through even the meanest form of state assistance or unemployment insurance than peasants ever did, they just have much higher expectations of a bare minimum standard of living to fail to meet.
Perhaps you could describe how you would pressure a judge successfully?

I often see comments like this, abstract what ifs without any details on what.

So, try to illustrate what might happen. Also, describe what protections the judges might have against this. It’s a useful mental exercise and you might realize that it’s a fair bit harder than posting on 4chan or Twitter.
We are reading you right now, in fact :)
No, since most construction companies in the UK do not directly employ construction personnel. Many work indirectly though employment agencies or as 'self-employed' sub-contractors.

The blacklist is a legacy of different times when this wasn't so.

It's important to note that in C++ you can easily run into problems with what you're describing: structs (objects) with different sizes being put into a vector. You may very well get the program to compile, but then run into odd bugs which come about because your objects get clipped to the size of the smallest possible (the base class). So any overridden methods which expect extra data in a subclass will not behave as expected.

So what you usually do here is have a pointer and a VTable and all that jazz. But there's been a resurgence in interest in putting data into contiguous blocks of memory. Check up on data driven design.

I don't think it's fair to compare GC'd languages to Rust's complexity. At least, compare C to Rust. But still, to be truly fair, weigh the usability differences against the safety differences. There are a lot of trade-offs here and perhaps this isn't the right way for you to go forward, but keep a broad view of the other aspects at play.

To be fair it probably wasn't caused by a lidar failure.
>>Congress writes laws, not the executive

and the executive approves them, that is the check. If they created a Single Issue rule it would not be an issue anyway, but if they are going to have the ability to pass omnibus bills then a check on that is the line item veto, no line item veto not omnibus they should go hand in hand
Thanks everyone, I'll do some reading! Maybe I'll even follow up in a month or so. No promises.

> Is this satire or what? The point of deleting facebook is to delete facebook! That's it! There's nothing else!

Circular logic is no logic at all. I'm trying to point at the purpose of the movement. People aren't deleting facebook just for the sake of it, there's a meaning and purpose behind the movement. But if we can't get past the idea that a movement has a purpose, there's nothing more to talk about.
Where I live the insurance company does not act until the case is clear and it’s known who is guilty and of what. Sometimes it’s just police documentation, sometimes an investigation and court case. But insurance company does not represent you in the court so what exactly are you talking about?
You can, but depending on what you actually want to do with that struct it can be pretty grotty to instantiate. Very much not beginner territory. I believe there's currently an approved RFC for making it easier to work with dynamically-sized data.

I just wanted to offer some related story on cancer.

A long time ago I had the experience to join a alternative medicine (TCM : Traditional Chinese Medicine) group relating to cancer. They said human body is an extremely complex, despite our advance in science we still can not fully understand and explain it. Just like how little we know about our brain, and hormones.

We went to a rural village in China, where they are one of the most heavy smokers. Well not really heavy, but like minimum 2 packs per day. Most of them have been smoking for more then 40 years, so this is no small amount of consumption. There were once a study trying to find links between smoking an cancer. They went to this place and discover their age of dying are mostly past 80, and no one had been treated or diagnosed with cancer.

So the results were against the evidence that heavy smoking results in higher rate of cancer of early death. They wrote down Chinese may not subjected to this rule in their report.

Which we know is bogus, Chinese are no different to any other humans, so what make this village so "special". What we then see is their day in day out routine, all of them are farmers, they get up early, they work ( exercises ), they eat very clean, all food and veg are fresh. As well as fish, they smile and sing while they work. And they are all happy being there. After dinner it is early sleep. Along with the unpolluted air, all these is basically a very healthy life style that most people in City or developed countries failed to achieve.

What the leader then said, we dont have a cure for cancer, or we have. But what we offer is something that most of you wont be able to do. Cancer is an reaction of your body that were caused by multiple factors, and mainly and mostly by you, yourself. Your energy and mind dictates many things. Just like there are many many cases where Western medicine or treatment has said you only have maximum 6 months to live while the patients, with their will power were able to go 3 or 5 years more. Your negative energy and stress are your biggest link to cancer. All other factors were mostly there as multipliers. The whole starting point of TCM is that you should try and not get sick in the first place, and in the case you do, instead of trying to kill off whatever symptoms you have, TCM try to tune your body to better accommodate it and hopefully would self repair it.

There were many other details and little story, but I try to keep it short. I know this may be an unpopular thing, and I wouldn't normally have share it. Until I read about Steve Jobs saved Scott Forstall with Acupuncture in the news, then I realise may be not everyone in the west are against TCM.
He deleted his company's Fan Pages, which are basically used to do marketing ("Check out our new car", "Coming soon on 2019", etc). It's not a discussion group or a forum.
I think that the opposite is true, at least much of the time. I think that many arguments are because the two sides have different definitions of a word, and neither side states the definition. This leads to arguments that are a complete waste of time.

This seems exceptional for Velodyne to come out with a statement like this directly from a spokesperson. I would expect a supplier to be more restrained before throwing a large (and growing) customer under the bus like this.
Depends on where you live. In developed nations there are now more people living in poverty. There's more unemployment, more people with no savings, more people in too much debt, and in the USA at least declining life spans among working class Americans.

A lot of people in the developed world are going to see books like this as a lot of out-of-touch "why do they not eat cake?" and self-congratulation by educated elites who don't have to work two jobs to afford the ever-increasing rent. Keep in mind that anyone making over $80-$100k is "elite" by global standards. That would include probably 80% of the users on this board.

Aggregate statistics can be extremely misleading. To give a wild example: if our understanding of the second law of thermodynamics is correct the entire universe is increasing in entropy. Does this imply that trees can't grow, cells can't divide, and factories can't operate? Aggregate trends do not imply much of anything at all about specific outcomes at a smaller scale.
First, I think the entire "liberal" v. "conservative" distinction does far more harm than good to productive public conversation. It causes people to pay more attention to where ideas come from rather than to the ideas themselves.

Second, it is a kind of ad hominem fallacy to claim that there exists some kind of unspecified (and no doubt nefarious) "liberal agenda" to which advocates subscribe. Especially given that 97% of the US supports universal background checks, how can the o.p. be so sure that this is the product of a "liberal agenda" and not instead a sensible response to an epidemic-level problem?

When people refuse to describe the entities they claim to exist (again: where and what is this "liberal agenda"?) there's good reason to be skeptical of both the people and the entities. Often it's scary packaging for something that's reasonable if you take the time to look at it.
> since you only get onto your followers feeds if you "boost" a post,

Actually most people and new ventures on Facebook get plenty of buzz without paying a cent. This is done by relying on your friends and getting happy customers to repost stuff from your page, thereby reaching new audiences organically.
Really? Isn't LIDAR just some input device, whose data is interpreted in software?
Uh... I'm pretty sure SpaceX and Tesla marketing teams are kinda sad right now.
I don't find it overly cynical. I distrust Elon Musk and other public figures and their motives at all times, just as a matter of policy.

Also having values that extend beyond money is, ironically, a lot easier when you have plenty of money.

Irony bordering on hypocrisy!

If we were to compare reasons why we dislike Twitter, I expect that we'd have a lot to agree on. I tried to leave Twitter too, but found that I couldn't because I still get too much value from Twitter. I still hope that someday the winds will shift to a system that brings me the joy I got from Twitter between 2008 and 2016.
I disagree with “code can be thought of as formal requirements” - perhaps if you twist the meaning of the word requirement, yes.

This analogy puts us into a place where we mix intent and implementation and make them the same. It doesn’t allow for bugs in a sense.

This is why I dislike analogous thinking!
It certainly shows why Google/Waymo are so cautious. They could have brought their product to market much sooner.

Seems odd a company devoted to matching employees and employers can't do it themselves, for themselves, on their own platform.

Is it appropriate to smile at a coworker of the opposite sex? Or to instant message them about work late at night?

It depends on your intent. If you are trying to be a creep and looking for "innocuous" ways to start moving in on an intended victim, then, no. If you are a decent human being with genuine respect for other people who isn't up to anything creepy, it's totes fine.

In fact, you should not be treating members of the opposite sex as "off limits" socially merely for being the opposite sex. This is a form of sexism and it insidiously closes a lot of doors.

So just be really honest with yourself as to why you are smiling at them or messaging them and if the answer is "I have plans that amount to sexual harassment," yeah, no. If the answer is "They are a coworker and that's how I interact with same sex coworkers," go right ahead. You're fine.
What about airlines with online booking websites? People have travelled for sex tourism to countries with trafficked sex workers, and it's such a known phenomenon that there's no reasonable way the operators of an airline could be unaware of it. And yet, they still sell tickets. By the letter of the law, that can certainly "make easier or less difficult" the sex trade by facilitating the transportation of potential customers. Are they then criminally liable if someone is found to have flown on their airline for the purpose of sex tourism?
I literally just wrote: "I speculated that feudal peasant may have been subject to the same kinds of incentives as everything they produced belonged to the local Lord."

If you are worth less in the market but employers are forced to keep you and pay you the same, that is a subsidy.

>I'm sure the people who found themselves unable to provide for their families will rest easier knowing the "economics" of it are sound.

I'm sure the family of the worker who was denied the job they'd be better at than you is not resting easy either.

There has been research into the effectiveness of consumer boycotts. They can be really effective especially against brands.

Nike boycott in the 1990s was really effective. The company’s sales fell in short them, but the damage to the brand was even more significant. Nike had to work a decade to repair the 'child labor' reputation and adopt the global sustainable idea.

On the other hand consumer boycotts against products without brand or network externalities have less effect. They suffer from free rider effect. Boycot is essentially subsidizing the consumption of those who use the boycotted product.
Right. We already did this experiment, as a society. In the old analog days, people were beaming an actual watt straight into their heads, Bluetooth still being a decade in the future. Now the max is something like an eighth of that (.125 watts), and the towers are much closer so the actual power involved is probably another order of magnitude lower. You would have seen a spike in brain cancer and then a drop, and it would be obvious.

I have a "friend" from university that I occasionally emailed links or articles. Months went by and he never wrote me back, so I questioned him about it and he said "you know I've been busy with the wedding and all".

"What wedding?"

"Yeah I got married, I guess you don't go on facebook. I don't reply to emails, just facebook me next time."

Obviously our friendship fizzled away, and wasn't worth keeping up, but some people only use facebook and won't communicate with people other ways. It's weird.
I lost ten kilos last year and my friends have been asking me how I managed to look like I'm getting younger while they are getting older (for the record, I'm also in my mid-thirties and one of the few who has yet to have children).
And IP's. Comments are easily used to writeprint (ID) commentators even if they don't contain "personal information".

Perhaps the anti-sex crowd would stop being the vanguard of the anti-trafficking movement, if anyone else took up the cause with more fervor.
The problem with Rust is that it is very hard to program interconnected graphs.

Basic Rust does not allow cyclic references, which means that almost every graph needs to use special tricks to make it work. These tricks are variants of reference counting. A trick that was copied directly from C++.

It feels like having to build a car with only a screwdriver and hammer. Each section of your graph needs to be managed separately. With non-safe rust or C++ you can put whole panels or sections on your car. And a garbage collector works like a robot: usually effortless.
A pretty complex device too. I'm not sure about this specific one, but LIDAR tend to operate in a scan fashion with a refresh rate. This means it can get chopped noisy data in a time sense which requires post-processing.
People are saying that "you couldn't see the woman" due to the visible light levels in the video Uber/the police have released but technically informed people are saying "the car has more than just visible light sensors" so arguing that the visible light video exonerates Uber is a defense built on shaky ground.
One bit of friendly advice, and that's to ensure that it's been proofread by a native English speaker. "How does it look like" is not a phrase that would be used normally, although the rule is certainly confusing and easy to get wrong.

"What does it look like" and "how does it look" are both correct, yet for whatever reason, using both the words "how" and "like" in that construction ends up sounding awkward.

I hope that doesn't sound critical, I'm just trying to be helpful. When it comes to resumes, every little detail matters, even the ones that shouldn't. Good luck!
I spent 3 months scraping 6 million pages from an extremely old political web forum (I think their backend was written in perl and hasn't been updated since 2001 and the response times for these pages were extremely high) in an effort to learn NLP stuff with a working database. Its cool because you get to see how old Boomers digested huge events during 9/11 up until now and the slow decline of web forums as a medium. The pain is trying to parse the actual pages since the dev never learned how to liberally use div tags like we do now.
One could argue that having hours and location online is so important for businesses that you do not necessarily have to chose the tool that is the easiest to setup.
The problem with so many of the comments here: Of course you would sacrifice your vacation time to avoid the pains of the middle ages and to gain the advantages of today. But those advantages are not the mere consequence of us working more. They are the consequence of centuries of technological advancement. If we started working as little as medieval peasants our standards of living would not just suddenly drop to their levels but they would stay much higher.

We can have our cake and eat it too. And in passing, we would likely save planet earth doing so.
Also, a non-content-containing signal like the weather let's you diagnose potential issues in the communication channel itself before useful information gets dropped on the floor.

If I ask you about the weather, your response gives me a chance to calibrate before we start sharing important information. For example, I may discover you have an accent that I need to get used to, or maybe you're too busy to talk (which you'll convey using posture and tone of voice), I can get a sense of your mood which might affect which topics I choose to bring up.

Once you realize that smalltalk is basically like a modem's handshaking process, it makes a lot more logical sense.
Crop failures can just as easily happen under a capitalist mode of production; this seems somewhat orthogonal to the question of whether people not working in the off-season are "unemployed." Yes, I agree that the government is more effective at providing social welfare programs than it was in the past, although probably some of that was compensated for by the greater connection to neighbors and kin that someone would have had, as compared to today. I'm not trying to cast the Middle Ages as an idyll we've fallen from.
I've lived in America all my life, but since I signed up for Facebook 10 years ago my hometown/current city has always been listed as a place in Portugal. For a long time all my adds were served in Portuguese, but that changed years ago to English. My guess is they know where you really are.
