I can forsee terrible dark pattern abuse by wrapping a shinkwrap license around the app that disables ads by making you promise the company can collect the data anyway.

TheLadders.com forces you to login to their site to disable spam e-mails from them. When you click "unsubscribe" it drops you back into their "so what kind of jobs do you want" loop rather than saying "sorry to see you go." So there is at least one example in the wild of trying to collect more data about you when you may be (as I am) trying to sever my relationship with a site rather than deepen it.
Alcohol is obviously way worse. I'm just saying the whole euphoric "weed is awesome" mentality will fade as legalization comes about and more and more people start having troubles with it. Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935; 2 years after the repeal of prohibition. The reality is that it's just another drug which can cause addictive behavior, and lauding its' large scale industrialization seems no different than supporting big tobacco at this point.

Vive has a wireless adapter now, and Vive Pro bumped the resolution from 1st gen, so two of your points are in progress.

It depends, my biggest struggle right now is with the tokio/futures ecosystem, so I'm on gitter::tokio quite a bit, and have posted once on /r/rust.

With patience, I eventually solve many problems, but the lead-time is costly. Plus when I'm doing something wrong in my code, rustc could take over 5 minutes compiling, and then come back complaining. Even when I find someone willing to help me debug, the process takes a few hours, and I end up feeling bad for wasting someone's time.

Years (going on decades) ago, I would have said the same thing about myself - I'm just not that "good with" numbers, but I'm good with coding and problem solving. And I actually did just fine - but one day I came across an interesting problem on Usenet about drawing a block arrow that could orient itself in any direction. Out of curiosity, I started trying to implement it and I realized I needed to recall the algebra that I remembered just enough of to pass the test when I was an undergraduate. Suddenly, in context, it became interesting, and I started re-learning all of the "number stuff" that I dreaded when I was younger. Not only did it start to make more and more sense, but I found myself becoming a better programmer incidentally: solving these simple, ready-made problems (that happened to involve manipulating numbers) sharpened my ability to concentrate and focus on bigger, fuzzier problems. I don't think anybody - or maybe only very few - people are "naturally" numerically inclined; it's something you have to work at, but I also think it's something that anybody can master if they really put their mind to it.

> Cannabis smokers have less qualms about driving under the influence than drinkers (in my experience) and from an enforcement perspective, it's harder to test for the presence of the drug because it stays in your system much longer (up to a month iirc?).

There are so many substances that people can take that would impair their ability to drive. Many of them are available over the counter. Alcohol is the only one that's tested directly; it's the exception, not the norm.

Why Traffic Acquisition Cost Is the Key Metric to Understand Google Success
I'm not sure what source should be considered authoritative, but here are some numbers from from the New York Times:

The Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars from countries that the State Department — before, during and after Mrs. Clinton’s time as secretary — criticized for their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues. The countries include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Brunei and Algeria.

Saudi Arabia has been a particularly generous benefactor. The kingdom gave between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. (Donations are typically reported in broad ranges, not specific amounts.) At least $1 million more was donated by Friends of Saudi Arabia, which was co-founded by a Saudi prince.

Edit: Reading the politifact.com link you provided, I now see that it makes a very similar claim. While there is legitimate doubt as to the exact number, it seems wrong to say that there is "no proof either way". Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are looking for?
All of those things and taking away the requirement to own a $1k gaming rig would make it a much better experience than what it is now. I currently own the original Vive with the TPCAST (SFFPC doesn't allow for the extra PCI slot) and it's a pain to set up and there aren't many good games with the depth of a standard "flat" game.

I actually think PSVR is the most likely to hit it off since the PS4+PSVR combo is much cheaper consumer friendly option.
Now that's an arms race I can get behind! Cheap LEDs/filters in more than just the visible spectrum would be SUCH a boon to researchers.
we might be saved because security cameras use those same LEDs and their near IR sensitivity for "night vision" purposes.

if they filter it out, they don't have their "night vision" any more.

(obviously twice as many cameras, or more expensive ones, or whatever, could deal with it.)
I am genuinely curious what's out-of-line mean here, especially comparing with Doxygen. Doxygen can generate xml output, and these xml output are easy to parse to either generate markdown, or rst, and then feeding to to Jekyll or Sphinx.
What I like about this kind communication guideline is that it really makes you need to restricted your last two bullets.

There are certainly other ways and the two you point out are pretty harsh on stallman saying either he’s uninformed through stupidity or through biased sources.

So it makes for an awkward and,likely, nonproductive conversation because it has a basic tenant that stallman is stupid because pet doesn’t believe how you do.

It’s logically not sound and emotionally charged up for a battle.
I haven't tried Magic Leap yet, but Oculus, Vive and Playstation VR all deliver a weak experience. The headsets are uncomfortable, they make a lot of people sick, and they are anti-social (ie you look goofy using it and they are isolating). The headset could be $50 with an included game and I still wouldn't buy it.

I don't think VR will really take off until it gets to the sunglasses form-factor phase.
A sample of the kind of documentation it can produce is here: http://stlab.cc/libraries/stlab2Fcopy_on_write.hpp/copy_on_w...
Yup, GLONASS = GLObal NAvigational Satellite System.

Although one should note that name is the intention; it has not always had global coverage (it does now), and may not always have global coverage in the future (say, if they decide to increase the precision in a strategic area at the cost of loss of coverage in others).
I don't believe that at all.

If Facebook wants a rockstar dev, they can offer that one person a lot less money than it would cost to buy a company.

Facebook bought Oculus because they wanted to expand into the VR space. I imagine it had nothing to do with games, but rather the possibility of a future application platform.

In my mind, VR is not the future, but rather AR will be. In that case, Facebook wants to be the provider of ads and metadata that is laid over other people's faces and brick-and-mortar storefronts while people walk around wearing thin AR glasses.
> It's not that he's unwilling to make it run on stable, it's that he has to sacrifice ergonomics to make it run on stable.

Two sides of the same coin. I clearly disagree about the amount of ergonomics that would have to be "sacrificed" in order to make the library usable in a production environment (on stable). So, it's simply an unwillingness to bring the library to stable, from my point of view.

Take Tower Web for example: https://medium.com/@carllerche/tower-web-0-3-async-await-and...

This has very similar ergonomics to Rocket in that it allows decorating handlers with their route, but it runs on Stable Rust. If you want to use `async fn`, that requires nightly for now since that's literally the nightly syntax for an async function, but the route decorators work on stable. As I previously mentioned, Tower Web is not mature, so I would not recommend it at this stage, but it shows what is possible.

I don't personally think that decorating handlers with routes is significantly more ergonomic than defining a table of contents somewhere else, like Actix does it. Defining routes is usually a very small part of your code that you do once and move on. Beyond that, what ergonomics are we talking about?

Actix can easily and automatically deserialize JSON into structs, for example: https://actix.rs/docs/extractors/#json
I don't think I've ever met a socialist who would define socialism in that way.

This is a little vague on the technicals, but it sounds like you would be downloading and installing the full VPN service as if you had obtained it directly from ProtonVPN? i.e. this isn't a browser plugin?

That's... not how taxes work. We have income taxes in the USA, not wealth taxes.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of the game is. But after playing through this far, I am not exactly impressed by this kind of error.

Clearly, there's a political message the author is pushing here. Which isn't necessarily bad: I liked Capt. Planet damn it. But getting such a trivial fact like taxes wrong makes me distrust the "game" in its entirety. Now maybe the game is saying that he wants to push for wealth taxes in the USA. Maybe we can have that discussion. But... for now... this seems to be pushing assertions that are very far removed from reality.

Schemes like that are in fact implemented by some devices on top of the existing PCIe interrupt mechanism. For example, GPUs have many different interrupt sources, so a common technique is to have an interrupt ring buffer that the GPU writes to, which contains all the information about the interrupt source and additional payload data.

An actual PCIe interrupt is sent to the CPU only when that interrupt ring buffer goes from empty to non-empty, and the driver's interrupt handler simply reads the whole ring buffer contents.

I think people writing those articles apply shallow pattern matching and don't understand economics of ads.

Have you ever wondered why not every possible business goes for the easy, incremental revenue of advertising?

Why doesn't Netflix just show some pre-roll video add? It's easy money.

When you buy expensive shoes, why don't they pitch you also buying an expensive jacket in nearby store and get an ad commission?

The reason is that ad income is extremely low, ads are not exactly welcomed and degrade user experience.

Netflix makes $120/yr from you. They could make maybe $10/yr more if they were aggressive with ads. But if you cancel Netflix because you're sick of ads, then one year of you not paying for Netflix costs them more than 10 years of ad revenue.

That why ads thrive in a very specific environment: the cost of ad impression must be extremely low and there is no better way of getting money from the user.

Robo taxis, the supposed future ad hell, are the opposite. They'll make lots of money per user ($100+/month) and the cost of ad impression is very high.

If any robo taxi provider will be stupid enough to annoy passenger with ads then they'll loose big time to another provider who isn't.
Yeah, the idea is that almost everyone's first computer program is a terminal program along the lines of:

name = input('What is your name?\n')
print('Hi, %s.' % name)

(https://name.amasad.repl.run/)

Every programmer has experienced an intense sense of accomplishment when someone uses their program. The problem is that, until today, there was no easy way to share text and terminal-based programs.

The bar to sharing apps shouldn't be GUI as it remains really really hard.

I would rather those actual cuts not take place at all. Just because politicians like Paul Ryan haven't succeeded in their goals doesn't mean they aren't real.

Certainly the popularity of the social insurance programs makes politicians, regardless of party, wary of cutting them but I expect that there have been cases where a bill with cuts has passed the House but failed in the Senate only because the need to get 60 votes to avoid a filibuster.
I felt that my comment was germane to this discussion so I reposted it. It's worth talking about it.
You only want to slip in as few of these implants as possible to get in. You obviously want to hit as many networks as possible but only for targets that actually make sense. Hitting a DoD network has higher value than hitting the Mormon church's streaming servers. If these implants are real, they aren't cheap and the less that are in the wild, the less chance someone will find one on accident. If the implant actually could take over the BMC firmware, that could give you access to not only the OS running on that server but everything else on the network so the actual number of implants needed for an attack on a network/datacenter are low compared to how many machines are on there.

Don't load header files with documentation comments. Put them in the implementation.

I don't see where the trouble is in properly documenting your code within the code. That isn't any where near as intrusive as literate programming. On an active code base nobody is going to keep external docs up to date without a taskmaster to force the issue.

Open source code bases are often a poor example of good coding practices. 1000's of lines can go by with nary a comment. Everybody's so leet they don't need them? That's great if you are the principal author and know (or knew) what everything did at one time. Not so great in a commercial setting with a fluid developer base where the noobs need to know what's going on without reading every piece of code.
It's interesting (and good) to see how Gates has mellowed as he ages. He now comes off as this affable, well-read, and geeky senior citizen.
