Getting concurrency right is difficult, even in Go (I know, I have been there, it was a huge pain in the a$$). Rust guarantees via the borrow checker that the code is data race free. This alone is a huge advancement. I would argue that Rust contains as much boilerplate as Java, but Rust is as fast as C++ and safer than both.

-> You trade some code noise for safety and speed. Compared to C++ the code has even less noise.

Turning code into concurrent code is super easy in Rust. Just use the Rayon crate and change iter() functions into par_iter() and you are done (if the borrow checker doesn't complain).

Well, I'm kind of expecting that the no-deal scenario will actually happen. Then a big economic crisis will follow, making it palatable for politicians to actually endorse a new referendum. I'm not saying what the question in such referendum would be, though.

And actually, this is the reason why some remainers are voting no to the brexit deal, and it's not even a secret.
I guess the speed of APL is comparable to python rather than Fortran?

This can be solved if both earbuds connect directly to the main device, no? This is how the Airpods work.
True true. But can't you just keep using that logic all the way back?
It could make sense to instead let the players bid for black (ie, winning draws), in units of time-differential, similar to this idea for auctioning off 1st possession in a USA-Football overtime by starting yard-line:

Rust shines where you need robust code, speed (including reliable multicore processing, low memory usage) and possibly low-level interaction with the OS or hardware.

For me the robustness is great. It's not just memory safety, but strong type system without nulls is superb for avoiding stupid bugs (no more "undefined is not a function").

If you're writing a small blog, you probably don't need any of this — you won't hit resource limits, and you'll manage to write 100 lines properly in any language.

But if you need to process gigabytes of data, Rust may be super helpful:

Chaos Engineering for APIs: Review of Gremlin
They didn't really hesitate, they just dodged questions. Apple moved their user data and keystore to local datacenters in China [1]. Apple even updated their TOS and forced their Chinese users to accept (or drop service) to reflect this.

As of July, these datacenters were nationalized [2], giving the Chinese government access to all Apple user data.

It took only two years to go from refusing the FBI request for one user to handing over the encryption keys to millions of users.

Rust is such a great language, and I wish I had more excuses to use it frequently. It is well-designed and pleasant to use. It has a vibrant and friendly community. It is fast. The library ecosystem is getting there. Go Rust!
NLL does not affect things that implement Drop. This is called "eager drop", and while it would only affect unsafe code, we deemed it to be too likely to cause problems with said code. Even though it's unsafe, we don't want to make that even harder to understand.

Well, you know, it’s not like the USA isn’t luring a lot of Chinese researchers and students already.

Speaking as an American who worked as a researcher in China for almost 9 years, China is way late to the “leveraging global talent” game. They should catch up, it’s only natural.
This is cool but now I'm more concerned in learning how launching micro satellites has become so easy for the masses which would be my opposite reaction normally. Meaning this is not without bad side effects. I watched "in a nutshell" about the end of space in that orbiting debris is becoming an issue as its an exponential threat over time as small debris moving at 20 K mph vaporizes things it comes in contact with, hence more debris, more collisions and so forth eventually creating a death shield to any incoming/outgoing space transport, effectively halting space travel for centuries. Here is that video FYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS1ibDImAYU I don't see how this is helping but possibly there will be cleanup solutions.
It must have been lost somewhere in the editing, copying, and pasting. I don't see a paragraph about the root apex. I would register with someone other then the hosting company you're using. And then use the hosting company's name servers. So you then could use the root apex (jobs.us), as opposed to using a CNAME record to get to the subdomain (www.jobs.us).
What is your current side project sir?
well great, but visa has a lot of liabilities too. Being centralized, they become e.g. liable for illegal transactions, where cryptos dont have that. This has costs, which should normally never allow visa to be competitive.

also, tbh , visa launching a microtransaction framework as easy to use as cryptos would be great news
So, in a nutshell, the System's neatest trick is this:

- For the sake of its own efficiency and security, the System needs to bring about deep and radical social changes to match the changed conditions resulting from technological progress.

- The frustration of life under the circumstances imposed by the System leads to rebellious impulses.

- Rebellious impulses are co-opted by the System in the service of the social changes it requires; activists "rebel" against the old and outmoded values that are no longer of use to the System and in favor of the new values that the System needs us to accept.

- In this way rebellious impulses, which otherwise might have been dangerous to the System, are given an outlet that is not only harmless to the System, but useful to it.

- Much of the public resentment resulting from the imposition of social changes is drawn away from the System and its institutions and is directed instead at the radicals who spearhead the social changes.

A common game bosses make up: "impress me with growth in this KPI by next quarter"

Rather than proving it is laughable, you are instead giving the exact reason why (under a certain value system) it makes lots of sense to select for this ability.
It only falters because the current implementation doesn't scale and the scaling solutions are 1-2 years out. Otherwise running a VM on a block chain is a brilliant idea and has already produced thousands of projects.

> Your comments do a good job of articulating the emotional arguments people use to support affirmative action.

This is unfair: I never said anything about affirmative action, made normative claims, or appealed to emotion. I stated why this test would still have bias towards poorer classes.

The narrative I was concerned with pointing out was that class characteristics could be biased in similar ways to physical characteristics and that mechanisms seeking to remove bias of physical characteristics will still allow bias for class characteristics.

It might spice-up the whole match to have this final-someone's-gotta-win tiebreaker before other tiebreaker matches, and then hold the result "in case it's needed". That'd be in the same spirit as this recommendation to have Soccer penalty-kick shootouts before overtime.

https://slate.com/culture/2016/06/how-to-fix-the-penalty-sho...

That is: you know who will win if all other tiebreakers draw, giving the side which didn't earn this final-tiebreaker the knowledge they have to be more aggressive, much earlier. (In the extreme, you could play this before every other match.)

Wow, the comments in this post are timely. I'm considering taking a month off to move to an unfamiliar, non-destination area to work on my creative project (songs) for 8+ hrs a day with no other commitments.
Most sports that have these 'last ditch tiebreaker' rules end up being coin flips in practice, or at least end up testing a completely different skillset than the normal game. Hockey and soccer shootouts are pretty much coin flips, and American pro football overtime is a completely different game. College football overtime is even more of a diversion from the actual game.

Whenever you try to force an outcome in a sport, you get further and further away from the original game.
Which of this suggestions is your case?

I guess the idea is that if the connection weren't encrypted you could listen to anything out there (like satellites used for transmitting weather information to ships at sea).
I'm well aware of how git works, and the consensus mechanism you just pointed out is one of the fundamental differences between git and what's normally referred to as a blockchain.

I think the confusion is people are equating merkle trees with blockchains.
Anecdotally, most people I know don't go out of their way to interact with police, so when police come into the picture it's usually not for something good. Further, because it's not for something good, that makes the situation more tense and incongruous between parties involved. People try to actively avoid police and not deal with them. If most interactions are negative, this makes conflict resolution difficult if the sentiment towards one party is inherently distasteful. This might be a bad metaphor, but it's kinda like how people don't use customer service when they don't have a problem. If police want to be guardians of a community, it requires putting in time to listen to and understand the community, and it also requires the community be cognizant of their interactions with police. Like with customer service for any party involved, being shitty usually doesn't make things go smoother.

With that being said, I think police could do a better job of being helpful and approachable. In the times police are actually needed, such as a car accident or something being stolen, adding a bit more effort would go towards establishing a better impression among the public. Further, changing the structure of police incentives could also help, where they should be rewarded and recognized for the positive outcomes created in the community, and not the number of tickets written to bring $X dollars into the station.
Agree with you, just note that the term "free software" doesn't actually refer to software price at all.

Apparently, yes.
How? This isn’t launching space satellites.
I could imagine companies like Planet using this for more points of presence. You only get tiny windows of time to download bits from satellites to ground stations and you have limited storage capacity. Additional ground sites could really help companies get more data out of fewer craft.
This came at just the right time for me!
Imposing tariffs on imports is classic protectionism - are you actually arguing that that is a net benefit?

Of course the protected industries benefit from protectionism, the argument against protectionism is that everyone else loses.

There is no reason that a transaction with a counterparty in Shanghai should incur any more taxes than an equivalent transaction with a counterparty in Manchester.
The Economist, The New York Times, SF Chronicle have extracted their full brand value from me and there's nothing left. What I mean by this is that when I see their links, I know that the article will be unreadable, because either they will make me jump through some "created free account" hoops to read it, or there will be so many CPU intensive ads or banners "you have read 2 out of your 3 free articles per month" that they make the content effectively inaccessible, especially on a phone. As a result, these brands started to me associated with "unreadable" and "desperate" as opposed to be "reliable" in my mind, and I don't bother to open these links anymore.
A fairer approach might be to auction the time. i.e. each player bids on number of minutes (or perhaps 10 second intervals?), the highest bid takes black with the win-on-draw condition and that many minutes taken from the 5 minute time.

Which is better - access to the information that's made available, or access to no information at all?
Free trade and corporate welfare are not opposites. By allowing free trade you allow companies to operate wherever the operating cost is lowest, while still selling to the residents of your region. Incentivizing local production (by tarriffing imports) means business operate locally, and importantly, pay taxes locally. You can call that corporate welfare, but for many cases I think that misses the mark.
Will you have a support network of friends or other people to regularly and daily spend time with? A month might not be enough time to slip into a loneliness caused depression...but set yourself up for success if you do this.
You can get short term insurance. I’m not too familiar, but I have a few friends who just quit their jobs and move out to where I am to take some time exploring and find new jobs here, and they both have temporary insurance. I don’t know what the costs are or any details beyond that, but it exists.
There are no “export laws” requiring encryption of satellite transmission data. Export laws wouldn’t apply anyway.

As a constructive counter example, there are plenty of free services you can tune into.
this isn't the point of the article which is, in my opinion, a very good narrative of what its like to try to practice agile development in an organization with not very agile tendencies.

it was just a way to demonstrate that this kind of request at least _can_ be made to a restaurant staff and you don't think "wow they're totally gonna blow it" but you'd rarely, if ever, see a product team make a similar request to a development team.

great job to the author of this post for capturing this.
I am under the impression that IF usually refers to the now popular (thanks BBC) 5:2 schedule. This is the context I've most seen/read about the topic, which often includes the talk of anti-aging and autophagy.

But this is all very muddy waters since it's fad diet territory and unscientific claims abound.
I agree. Sometimes saying people should avoid working for a company, which does some things they don't like and some things they do like, sounds like telling people to leave the US if they don't like the current state of affairs. It may be a valid choice for some people, but it's not the only (or even the most effective) way to work against the company doing the things they don't like.
As I mentioned, but didn't explain: There is online software that you can download to your computer to "rescue" them. Apparently it accesses the file system to get them.

Why?

Both of those terms have definitions based in rational discourse, but they are often misunderstood. E.g. "toxic masculinity" does not mean that masculinity is toxic, it means there's a subset of masculine behaviors that can be toxic when over-represented.

If reading the term 'toxic masculinity' is enough to cause you to disengage, I'd encourage you to take a moment and understand why that just happened.
>Obviously we'd prefer greener power if possible, but nuclear power appears by far the lesser evil than all the fossil activity.

Fair enough, but at this point, it seems like they can, should, and do skip over nuclear and focus on 100% renewable. Their messaging may not be as effective as "clean coal" but that feels like a different debate.

It looks like nuclear didn't grow as much as they were hoping. So Sellafield's parent company could take their earnings and dump the tax payer with the clean up cost. I won't be surprised if they put Sellafield into liquidation before they finish clean up.

>That is significantly more work than posting a torrent to a tracker, with significantly less discoverability.

Is it?

Install Torrent client / IPFS client, create a torrent / add your files to it, then tell other people the torrent magnet link / ipfs link. Optionally, other people can open your magnet link / ipfs link with a web gateway site instead of installing software. (I'm not personally aware of torrent web gateways, but I assume some exist. The fact that they're popular for IPFS seems like a point for IPFS.)

>Is that hash at least decoupled from the content?

Content in both torrent magnet links and ipfs links is content-addressable. They're both based on a hash of the content. Distributing updated versions (of a torrent, or an ipfs link) is a task for a different layer.
The performance and price of battery powered stuff like that just isn't there yet. All the cordless models are more expensive than economy brand gas equivalents and don't deliver nearly as much performance. It's like how electric cars were in the 90s.
