There's not a module-level Safe/Trustworthy/Unsafe division, but as steveklabnik1 says, any potentially-dangerous code has to be placed into an `unsafe` block.

One can also forbid the use of any `unsafe` blocks for a crate/module (with the #[forbid(unsafe_code)] attribute), but this is slightly different to the {-# LANGUAGE Safe #-} pragma in that it does consider imports at all. However, since "unsafety" is modeled in the language in Rust, and is granular, people are encouraged to have every module be "Trustworthy" (in Safe Haskell terms): if an individual function could cause undefined behaviour if misused, it should be marked "unsafe", and a "Safe" module (i.e. one using the forbid above) won't be able to use it.
I hope you see that I actively engage with our users and customers. We want to get the balance right. I think currently GitLab.com should be much more reliable and the RAM usage with should be lower. I'm happy with the improvements we are making in UX, polish, navigation, and loading times. They should all improve from today but we're making the right amount of progress.

Maybe a bit off-topic but some of our reliability improvements like Gitaly cause GitLab to use more memory. So improving non-functional requirements is not a single dimension.
Its not clear if you've actually tried applying for jobs and doing interviews, or just doing interview prep. If you haven't applied for jobs just start doing it. Grad programs would be a first start. I think you'll find its easier than you think. Sure, the big name companies will have a high bar but less well known tech companies and esp corporates really don't expect grads to know that much.

If you are getting interviews then bombing them all - then you can start to worry. If you really don't get anywhere you can try looking for QA/test jobs where you usually have to know a bit about software and end up writing scripts and maybe move into dev later with some more practice.
My mother teaches autistic children and I think this woman must have an incredibly mild version. My mother’s students can barely take care of themselves and touching someone is largely out of the question. I’d love to see her face when I mentioned I read an article about a woman with autism being a stripper.

And yes I know there is a spectrum of autism from severe to not as severe, but when someone is as high functioning as this does the word have any meaning anymore?
Yikes, desperate times require desperate measures I guess!

Considering that a) these suppliers already gave Tesla a deal based on promised volume, and b) these suppliers also have stock holders to account to... this seems like a Hail Mary pass.

Perhaps an indication that Tesla is in much worse shape than Elon would like us believe.
Unfortunately, announcement dates only give one endpoint of the timeline. The other endpoint, retirement date (from even previous-generation availability), is crucial to any anlysis.
I could be mistaken, but I think it's only the 15" that offers a 32GB option.
Well, that might cause less confusion than “fruits and veggies”, especially when juices come with “x servings of fruit” on the label.
>> Tesla requested the supplier return what it calls a meaningful amount of money of its payments since 2016, according to the memo.

Bullying plain and simple. This is not how you operate a successful company. Two things will happen: 1) Suppliers will send the money and in turn will keep prices higher in expectation that similar demands will be made in the future. Or 2) Suppliers will eat the losses, leaning out their own operations and risking interruptions. So by doing this Tesla will face either higher prices for future contracts, or increased unpredictability in their supply chain.

The worst thing any company can do is get a reputation for unpredictable payment. It puts you are the bottom of everyone's friends list. Your orders will always be less important than everyone else's.
I think people dramatically overstate the case for automation.

It may be that certain jobs get automated. But look at what Tesla is going through; they're using more people, not less, and basically admitted they screwed up trying to automate so much assembly work from day 1.

On the other hand, the electorate here (SF) seems to want to push minimum wages to $20/hr, so maybe you'll end up right.

So where's the money coming from? Who wants to make 0.9% on a car loan? You can get about 2.4% right now on a damn 1-year US Treasury! And that's tax free too!

Is there something I'm missing here? I'm extremely confused as to why someone buying a car, even with insanely good credit, would get a FAR better rate on borrowing money than the US Government.
Scala: Understanding implicits
Smart companies focus on the alignment of interests. This strikes me as a very smart move - it creates teamwork among players.
You could apply that knowledge as a business analyst, solutions architect, project manager, software developer in test (test automation)... There's definitely options, just depends on what fits for you.
I hear people say leasing is the way to go, but I don't understand the math. Cars easily last 10 years now, and I drove my last car for 18 years. Please explain! Is it about always having a newish car at an optimal price?
> The thing is, all APIs essentially move data around

Technically true, but misleading to bring up. OpenGL is different because the primitives in it are explicitly about collections of data of specific types. Whereas an API that was 'about' 3D graphics would offer primitives related to the shape, position, and other aspects of the appearance of 3D forms and how they change in time.

> It’s more helpful to know that WebGL is the API you need, if your goal is 3d graphics in a browser.

I disagree. I think for almost everyone's needs, the API they need is something more like three.js. If you are writing a new scene graph or whatever, then WebGL is what you're looking for.

More importantly though, it's about managing expectations of new users: yes, you can use OpenGL/WebGL to create moving 3D pictures—but it's going to be a linguistically awkward, and yet (potentially) performant, way of doing it.

> These 3d graphics APIs intentionally don’t provide scenes graphs, for very good reasons. That would compromise their generality and speed.

To be clear, I am not saying that OpenGL, Vulkan, etc. should provide scene graphs. I'm saying they are essentially hardware access layers with some special utilities for doing graphics stuff. They need to exist, and they should not be doing irrelevant things like providing scene graphs.
A friend of mine is a Seattle bus driver and he witnesses terrible things up to and including child sex trafficking. And the cops don’t care a whit when he reports things. Public transportation in major US cities is cancer. I know it can theoretically be good, but it seldom is.
The new optimizations are about code layout and it seems are based on real-world perf data being fed back into the compilation process. So it wouldn't necessarily be apparent to an initial compile what the hot code path is, but with that profiling information present you can arrange your binary in order to maximize hits on the code cache.
That's true.

I think Oakland has something going for it, though. SF increasingly feels like a museum: the whole place is so preservation-focused and static. Whereas Oakland has always seen itself as a place where anyone can live and doesn't have its nose quite as high in the air about "preserving the character of the city".

I live in west oakland right next to the BART and the transformation of the city is pretty cool to watch. Tons of vacant lots are being built out into usable real estate and places with broken windows are getting rehabbed into usable commercial space. It's neat to watch this on-the-ground transformation take place. And I'm happy we're building because, as I keep saying, if you want affordable housing, "just build luxury units today and wait 20 years". The BA's problem is that there's been all but zero development and now such a huge surge of people moving here, it's pushing the lower income tiers further and further out as Googlers making $250k are competing with teachers to live in whatever they can find.

I don't buy into the "let's blame everything on tech" narrative though. Between prop 13, rent control, zoning, and a lot of other regulatory action, the SFBA has made this problem more extreme than it is in other areas. There are plenty of regions--DC comes to mind--that went through huge waves of gentrification without nearly the price swings we're seeing here in SF.

P.S. I'm from Chicago.
I have two flush toilets where I live.

That, and protection from mosquitos, basically assures that I'm living a better life.

This makes a whole lot more sense. I couldn't imagine how a student could get through high school and all its essays without once thinking a physical keyboard might be an easier option.
I think there's some truth to this, but the big story is simpler.

Prices have doubled in the past 5 years. Because of Prop 13, if you've been an owner through this, you just stay where you are.

Then the whole question becomes making sure things don't change. I think it's just a bunch of lucky owners who bought here 20-30 years ago with no intention or ability to sell, and not much interest in building new stuff.

As far as stores of value, housing is a pretty bad one. It falls apart, is heavily taxed, and is relatively illiquid. I think you'd do a lot better with stocks, or bars of gold.
This is a well-known approach, though expressed a bit bluntly.

Both Buddhists and Stoics explored this question deeply, and came to similar recommendations, and practical approaches to not being ruled by your feelings while also being at peace with them.
If suppliers are going to finance the company should Tesla issue shares to them?

It is this a supplier financing loan?

Or just give back money so I can be your customer in the future?

The only exception may be on electronics whose prices continually decrease, like screens, CPUs and other such things.

Also these suppliers likely already has horrible payment terms like net 180 or at least that is what I saw in other similar vehicle manufacturers.
>"noticed the presence of men with far-right paraphernalia, including Trump hats and Pepe frog patches."

President Trump and his policies are supported by many many millions of people, from all walks of life, all races/genders/etc, all across the country. Trump hats are hardly "far-right paraphernalia". They represent the many mainstream policies and attitudes of the Trump administration.

Wearing a Trump hat is equivalent to wearing a Bernie shirt, or an "I'm With Her" shirt. They're all just mainstream political statements.

And Pepe is a silly meme, just because a few racists on 4chan took a liking to him doesn't mean he is a racist icon as some on the far-left believe.
I have a paper notebook with a daily to do list. sone todo items are necessary some aspirational. you can classify as urgent/not-urgent important/not-important. but each day I rewrite it out. if things I didn't finish yesterday aren't compelling enough I won't expend the effort to write it back down. I can always go back if I want.

the main thing I think is just taking the time at the start of each day to think about what you are doing, what's important and why, to have some semblance of a plan.
Leasing is not feasible for people who commute. I know plenty of people who got into leases and then got jobs where they would end up going over the mileage.
In other words, philosophy is a form of mental “self-stimulation.” It feels like you’re accomplishing something when actually you aren’t. That matches my views at any rate. Not that there’s anything wrong with a bit of self-stimulation. I’m here commenting after all. But philosophy is pretty unique in that they present their fun as some kind of noble pursuit.

The idea that people who 'create value' are motivated by money does not stand scrutiny. The bulk of major discoveries have been by people motivated by curiosity, some so obsessed not even caring about their own lives, so its unlikely money was the motivating factor.

The open source movement has probably created hundreds of billions of dollars of value, yet it is not motivated by money.

And value is not created by individuals, you need an entire society with infrastructure, education, teachers, technology, stability, science, funding, wealth, markets to create value.
i read it as an examination of a boss-less system 'that works'. For an individual (prospective employee) the question of how much you get and if its worth it is central, for him as a person examining the larger scheme of things it is less central.

to quote:

"The tantalising thought arose, during my musings, that this organisational structure may be as scalable as a market mechanism (assuming that the right technologies are in hand, ensuring transparency and low communications’ costs within the company).

There is one important aspect of Valve that I did not focus on: the link between its horizontal management structure and its ‘vertical’ ownership structure. Valve is a private company owned mostly by few individuals. In that sense, it is an enlightened oligarchy: an oligarchy in that it is owned by a few and enlightened in that those few are not using their property rights to boss people around ... "

blah blah blah.
We are not accruing technical debt to ship these features. Quite the opposite, because we ship the minimum viable change we keep things as simple as possible, preventing un-needed complexity that can slow us down later.

I bought a new car last year, and the way I did it was to locate the car I wanted at all dealerships within 300 miles. I then emailed each dealership and asked for the lowest price that they could sell the car for. Then I passed the lowest number to the other dealerships, who counter offered. I iterated this process until no dealership would go any lower, and then I drove to the one with the best deal and picked up the car.

It brought the price a few thousand lower than the supposed "invoice minus holdback minus whatever", but I suppose they wouldn't have sold the car unless they made some profit on it.

> incredibly mild version

There are large variations in what different autistic people are capable of, and (e.g.) whether they have intellectual disabilities. The writer might be considered high-functioning by a professional, but it has clearly impacted their life. To call their autism "incredibly mild" sounds dismissive of their experiences.

Full disclosure: I'm "high-functioning" autistic too and can associate so much with their account.

> And yes I know there is a spectrum of autism from severe to not as severe, but when someone is as high functioning as this does the word have any meaning anymore?

I wanted to reply to this edit. In this post is someone who struggled to function at a dinner with potential friends, and reverted to clients at a strip club because at least that can be rehearsed.

I refuse to judge the author; I think they've done amazingly. But having this label may empower them and help them be more in control of their life. The word has meaning.
Maybe it's incentive-caused bias from a person who makes more money selling leases?
Yeah autism occurs on a spectrum, from very low-functioning people who can barely verbalise or take care of themselves, to relatively high-functioning individuals who are capable of taking care of themselves, and given the right tools, even thrive.
Seriously. On a 6 year loan the car is almost free at current rates of return.

Leasing wins against having a new car every few years. It fails badly if you keep your cars longer or buy when they're a few years into the depreciation curve.

Personally I decided buying cars a few years old made far more sense.
It is a public company, everyone knows what shape it is in.
This is false dichotomy. For me the question is “of hunter-gathering and agriculture, which better leads to sustained and sustainable technological development to ensure the permanent* survival of our species”.

I had a similar "last straw" moment this morning and put Ubuntu 18.04 on the Minecraft/Netflix notebook. Very smooth install and having Minecraft as a 1-click install in the Snap store was a pleasant surprise compared to having to install Oracle's Java and/or find a ppa with the right configuration of Minecraft junk.

Plus the LAN issues we were having with Minecraft have disappeared, and the trackpad response is better, and the fonts even seem crisper for some reason.

BTW this is a $200 notebook with 2GB of ram and a 32GB emmc for storage. It didn't have enough free space to keep Windows 10 updated (even after removing Chrome, Minecraft, and assorted OEM bloatware). Now with Ubuntu (minimal install plus Minecraft) there is 20GB free.
Is it just me, or is everyone starting to capital-case cummings' name again? Anyway, this reminds me of his poem, which is especially apt as someone who has to pay attention to syntax as part of my job:

will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis

An undergraduate degree is an indication you can sit down and do complex work without needing someone holding your hand. It is not a life sentence to a particular career (that would be a PhD).

There are plenty of jobs you can do with a CS degree that don't involve being a programmer, as others have mentioned. Don't feel you need to work in that field either. A friend I did my BSc Biology with is now a financial advisor with one of the big four banks in Australia. Having any degree is good, having a STEM degree is even better.

Also, it sounds like a lot of this is in your head. You should talk about it to a close friend or someone you trust :)

Graphics apis are similar in their fundamentals. Dont bother fretting about which to learn. Instead make sure you understand how the systems transfer and process data between the CPU and GPU.
If people have been following Tesla financials it's been clear that they're running out of money. Normally it's ok, everyone knows that Tesla is losing money and is not yet profitable. In 2018 running a money losing business for decades is totally expected and excusable if it's something as cool and fancy as electric cars. Tesla just needs to raise money from investors or the debt markets and there are plenty of people willing to toss more in the pit. However Elon kind of boxed himself in with some egoistical bs about promising not to raise any more money this year??? But why? Just freaking raise more money holy shit. As it is he's actually doing harm to the company and seeming actually desperate.
Oops! My bad! I just realized that you're talking about a different book. I thought you were referring to the book's namesake, Polya's "How to Solve it." I have not had any contact with how "How to Prove it"!

Also, interesting how much of a similar way we seem to have gone about learning math. I kept it as my main focus for a similar amount of time, then for as a secondary focus while working on a big software side project for another 7 months or so (I was working at a grocery store for money the whole time), then got my first software engineering job and largely dropped any focused study in mathematics. But now I'm in a position where I'll learn bits of math as I need them for projects or whatever, so it definitely wasn't a waste (and like you mentioned in being able to read stuff off of arxiv, it expanded the range of ideas I can understand).

I've actually started getting interested in continuing study again, getting more into applied math this time since I really focused on pure last time. First goal is to get a clear understanding of Maxwell's Equations :)

Completely agree. Sourceforge, the brand, is so tainted I can’t even read this on my phone, since a content blocker List I have installed has apparently blocked the entire domain. The brand has been shit in my own mind for a while. Not even going to bother reading this. Why does it still exist? Replaced by GitHub, Bitbucket, and Gitlab.
As the model year changes, makers offer financing incentives to clear inventory. My 2018 Civic was financed at 1.9% for 5 years. There was no point in paying cash.
This is just speculation. The story constantly says 'suppliers' when it is just one person at one supplier who has corroborated the story.

"Some suppliers contacted about the request said they were unaware of such a demand."

=> They didn't find any other suppliers who had received the said memo.
