Rust supports stable ABI with extern C. I agree it is highly suboptimal, but it works well enough that there are multiple production Redis modules entirely written in Rust, for example.
Restricted subreddit means that only approved users can post, but anyone can view. Private means that only approved users can view.

Another option is to set all posts by non-approved users to be automatically flagged (hidden to non-moderators), and moderators can un-flag the posts. Which, I think, is the workflow you're looking for? All you have to do is set the spam filter to "All" in the subreddit settings.

You still run into the problem that a lot of people might not want to use reddit, and you'll just end up fragmenting the people following your blog and lose a lot of readers.
> A significant portion of Spotify’s customers come through partnerships with mobile carriers. This generates no App Store contribution, but requires Spotify to pay a similar distribution fee to retailers and carriers.

Everyone would benefit from seeing what both Apple and Spotify are paying to the carriers for these bundling deals.
That's just nihilism, if there are "other moralities" that are just as valid and that I can freely choose, there might as well be none.
> Sure it would! It would serve as a deterrent. Some people shouldn't be handling hundreds of millions of USD.

I don't think Mark ever expected to handle that kind of money. It just sort of happened. One of the things usually needed to prove a crime was committed was that there was the intent to commit it.

> Startup culture can be great, but it's amazingly dangerous when operating certain trades or industries.

Mark's about the furthest thing from a startup bro. Honestly, I got the vibe he started MtGox as a hobby that happened to make money. A lot of it doesn't make sense from a business planning standpoint. Bet you didn't know the parent company of MtGox was named after his cat and served as a hosting company and domain registrar. He's a gentoo nerd that had a pet project win the lottery. There's far more to question about what the exchange had happen before he took it over, but I suppose jed won't talk about that.

To be fair though the year he spent in jail probably added some years to his life. While I doubt it was great for his mental health, it did wonders for getting his weight under control.
No problem. I do it every day.
If the right offer were made, I find it hard to believe Verizon would be unwilling to sell.
>Make sure there's someone, anyone, who understands ALL of the codebase from top to bottom

Either you seriously over estimate the limits of ones understanding, or you severely under estimate the size of Google’s codebase/monorepo.

At this point, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to even check it out on a single developers workstation due to its size.
> a financial exchange

as far as i understand Mt Gox wasn't a financial exchange, it was a marketplace for non-financial stuff like for example Magic cards and cryptocurrencies. People putting hundreds of millions of real money into a virtual goods traded at a place not registered with SEC have only themselves to blame.
Fiber is easy in big cities. The point-to-point 5G stuff will be to get high-bandwidth to harder to reach places. You're lucky that you can get that, no "small village" in the US will get fiber.
Nonsense. The site never meaningfully acted in this way, it was at best a tech demo and a coming soon homepage.
Women are attracted (on a visceral level) to a man's genetics, most of which you can't change. In varying order of importance:
1. Height
2. Facial traits that demonstrate high testosterone pre-natally and during adolescence: high-set cheekbones, a chiseled jawline, a proeminent chin, forward growth of the maxilla, positive or neutral canthal tilt, having a full head of hear and not being bald
3. Broad shoulders (swimmer physique)

Define "competent manufacturer".

I'd be willing to wager that most front wheel drive sedans sold in the US are closer to 60/40, not 50/50. Pickup trucks (very popular in the US) also have a weight distribution much more skewed to the front.

50/50 distribution is more common for sports cars sure but that is not the majority of cars sold.
Alright, now dive into a new codebase and report back.
Depends on the exam but if the questions rarely vary much from the practice material then mathematical reasoning is definitely taking a back seat.

And then again, less than two years ago. Which acquisition do you think GP referred to?
What an incredibly silly comment. Serving music to millions of people across all major platforms whilst also being kosher/legal are real multifaceted challenges. This is one of the reason why you don't see much competition in this space. Remember Grooveshark? That was closer to a "middle man" than Spotify, and they promptly got sued and got shutdown.
Both, there's lots of both safety and pollution mandates like that. As just one recent example[1]:

> "the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it would require all automobiles sold in the United States built beginning in May 2018 to include backup cameras"

That's less than a year ago. It's a fair bet that most vehicles on the road don't have such systems, but they're now illegal to manufacture.

Awful glitchy site, hopefully not a reflection of the product.
Indeed, most cars are single wheel drive (FWD or RWD with an open differential).

Some more expensive sporty cars have limited slip differentials, mostly to avoid inside drive wheels spinning in sharp corners. It helps in the snow as well of course.

My Subaru WRX had a limited split in the center and rear, so it had three wheel drive when slippery. The higher end STI had an option for a front limited slip differential. Apparently when rallying on tight courses they would pick three wheel drive because it allows rotating around the inner front wheel for very sharp turns. It's great fun, plant a wheel (literally motionless), the car spins around it, until you let go of the wheel and the car launches in that direction. On more open courses the rally drivers would select the four wheel drive to get the most of the traction when going mostly straight.

The Tesla AWD is actually 4wd, but under software control. I wouldn't say as nice as a locking differential, but pretty close and able to get some power to all four wheels.
Notably absent: addressing the point that Apple's own streaming music offering has an unfair 30% price (or profit) advantage over any other service that chooses to use in-app payments.
Aerodynamics? EVs need to be super efficient due to limited energy density of the batteries. Same reason for the continuous sloping back.

iOS isn't considered to be a market so they don't have one to abuse. Unless the courts declare that iOS is a market then the App Store would be considered to have a monopoly on App Stores in iOS, but you can't have a monopoly on your own product/platform (then everyone would be a monopolist). A monopoly is measured against the overall market. If Android didn't have an App Store or it was the size of Windows App Store then iOS App Store could be considered a monopoly, but not at the fraction of the user base that iOS has now.
I have a 3yo myself and I think it's all a trade-off, there's no such thing as perfect parenting. Old cultures tend to land in a local optimum.

That being said I'd consciously not move to an average US town as I think there's too much fear spread, it doesn't fit my own culture of giving children space/responsibility as early as possible. Depending on community reaction that can be impossible - not just in many parts of the US but also in Southern Europe for example. There tends to be much more support from the wider family there however.

Another local optimum I've seen in Japan where almost everyone is incredibly well behaved but almost no-one learns to think outside the box. Eh. I say choose what you think works and try to choose a community supporting it, within the options you have.
Thank you! That’s exactly what a guy from Volkswagen plant told me. They don’t need a 99,9% working robot, because it’s not enough when manufacturing one car each minute. The robot might be cheaper to buy, but they cannot afford to stop the line for such errors.
Frontier bought said fiber network, I'd hardly call it abandoned. Additionally, none of that fiber was ran in Seattle proper, but rather in the far suburbs and ex-urbs of the north & eastside, starting at Lynnwood on the north end and staying north of Bellevue on the eastside.

If anything, Verzion plowed a ton of money to run fiber to most homes, then saw poor uptake and a small telco they could dupe into taking on massive debt (Frontier). This has forced Frontier to offer good deals like 200Mbps/200Mbps for $40 a month. Centurylink in the city proper starts at $45 for 40Mbps/5Mbps via fiber, and Comcast is $30 plus fees for 60Mbps with a 1TB cap.
Everyone would benefit from seeing what both pay the labels. Everyone speaks about “they only pay artists X per stream”. However, neither of them pays the artist directly.

> I can get better performance and understand my app better than with the JVM because it’s compiled ahead of time

Ahead-of-time compilation does not mean better performance.

Java HotSpot has a history of outperforming .Net, despite the latter using ahead-of-time compilation.

Similarly, various JVMs use ahead-of-time compilation, but are generally unable to outperform HotSpot.

Java's performance pitfalls are in areas like its slow reflection (or rather, in the way reflection is overused in Java libraries), its costly runtime checks for null and out-of-bounds array access, and boxing of primitive types.

But this doesn't work either - convolutional layers in neural networks have a very specific structure, which encodes strong prior knowledge that we have about the problem space (translation invariance). If we just had multilayer perceptions, we wouldn't be talking about this right now.

In theory, yes. In practice, Rust at the moment is less productive than GC languages. I am hoping for autoclone mode in the future (sort of like Swift ARC).

Currently taking a break from my PhD, although I plan to finish it one day. Here's my salary progression as a CS researcher in Silicon Valley:

2015: $104k (worked in an R&D lab for an enterprise company)

2016: $106k (laid off at the end of the year as part of reorg)

2017: $115k + $10k bonus (short stint as a SRE at a famous company that unfortunately didn't go very well....)

2018: Consultant at a startup for $120/hr. Unfortunately this opportunity didn't last. Ended up taking a research internship.

2019: $95k (promoted to full-time researcher)

I love my current job; in fact, it's one of the best I've had. But Silicon Valley is a very expensive place, and I'm wondering if there are opportunities to do CS research in industry outside of Silicon Valley.
Same, not counting the money I lost due to his scam trading bot that was front running the market. I think 5 years would be a light sentence here.
Fighting which stops eventually. I program Rust for nearly a year now and I found that there is a point where it gets quite smooth. The many mental guarantees that the code gives you can help you a lot to stop worrying about a whole class of things. I realized just how much this is the case when I wrote something in Python again and separation of which code affects what and which code is doomed to fail from the start became much harder.

Rust initially has been a lot about fighting the borrow checker, but once you get the hang of it it happens quite often that you write pages of a complex functionality including tests – you hit build and it just works.

I am certain that Rust prevents entire classes of problems I filed bug reports for, even with extremely experienced developers. I understand that the nagging voice of the compiler or cargo clippy is not just for everyone, tho.
You're blatantly wrong. Training a classifier to determine if a previously unseen image contains nudity is easier than training a classifier to determine if a previously unseen image contains a nude 18 year old or a nude 17 year old. The later task is virtually impossible, which should make it obvious to you that tech like PhotoDNA is not classifying previously unseen photographs.
I thought the problem was, that their own apps do not have to pay 30%, so they can easily replace any app with their own, if they choose to.
”What do I drive while it's in the shop for MONTHS waiting on parts?”

Stop calling these "killings" this is terrorism.

They are nazi terrorists. Today they killed children while they prayed.

They set bombs on cars at the nearby hospitals.

This is terrorism, by a bunch of racist bigots.
It just seemed like the original commenter had planned ahead for many multi-month part shipments. Pragmatic perhaps but I would have to question my vendor!

I drive late model grey imports so my parts wait is just the time it takes to pull it off a wreck and ship it. I suspect the wait comes from the dealer/manufacturer relationship.

Reddit has well over one million subreddits, but only counts about 140,000 as "active".

I've been looking at Google+ Communities recently and have more insight there.

There are ove 8.1 million communities. Over 45% have one, or nil, members. The median membership is 2, the 95%ile is about 118.

That said, there are a just over 50 with >1 million members, a couple thousand over 100k, and about 10k over 10k members.

https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Migrating_Google%...

Looking at both size and activity, for communities with over:

1,000 members: active w/in 1 week 28,823. Active w/in 1 month 39,301

100 members: active w/in 1 week 63,874. Active w/in 1 month 105,166

'having exclusive artists' yeah, nobody wants that and that encourages bad competition.

'stronger presence on other platforms' doesn't help with presence on iOS market

'a better product' they arguable already have it
Apple’s essential claims:

1. 15-30% is a fair “contribution to maintaining the App Store ecosystem” which has led to Spotify’s “dramatic growth.”

2. Spotify is greedy and bad, just look at how they squeeze artists, unlike us.

The second point is really weak considering that paying such a high fee to Apple, which Apple Music itself doesn’t have to pay, might force Spotify to take it out of the artists’ end to stay afloat.

And as to the first point, Apple makes it sound like the App Store was the reason for Spotify’s success, so it’s only fair they take a healthy cut. But there’s no other choice on iOS. It’s not clear if discovery in the App Store was essential to Spotify’s growth or if it was just the only way to install software on iPhones.

One need only look at macOS to determine how important the App Store is to discovery and growth. Many, perhaps most developers bypass it.

>We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers.
Very cool that this has been observed but I actually think this kind of thing is inevitable given the way viruses work and their rapid rate of mutation. We've known for many years that viruses like influenza use different parts of a cell to reproduce different parts of the virion. They can also mix up their genomes when multiple virions infect the same cell. Furthermore we know that this can lead to genomes to support each other, for example a genome that is great at infecting cells but poor at reproducing will end being reproduced by the machinery of a different genome. It's not hard to imagine this going the next step and not even requiring every part of the genome to be present in a cell.

Viruses are the most fascinating part of biology. An inevitability caused by a security flaw in the way genetics works.

FWIW, a traditional RWD car is usually pretty close to 50/50 weight distribution, while a FWD car is usually closer to 70/30.

However a RWD racing car is typically also biased with more weight on the driven axle, e.g. the Porsche 911 is around 40/60. So it's pretty pretty clear that more weight on driven axel == good. It's just not possible to get 40/60 in a BMW 5-series type car while keeping the practicality.

No one remembers the "No Machine" NX protocol (X protocol with compression, without unnecessary roundtrips and some other optimizations)? I think I've tried it in the early 2000's, looks like they are still alive[0]

With version 4 of their protocol they went closed source, but before that it was released as GPL (don't remember if it was the case of their client/server, IIRC they were proprietary) anyway I think V3 is used in the X2Go[1] client/server. There was also a Goggle client in Python years ago...

I wonder how many of the Rust defenders in this article actually know C++ and have written a production used Rust system, instead of a side-project on github, so that they can compare in an informed way? The author certainly has, but who else has? Step forth priests of Rust!
As for me: I use C++ at my job daily but have never done Rust so I cannot compare. What I do know about is "memory safety" in C++, and to be honest, the tools available are enough to make you figure out any issue: gdb/core dumps/valgrind, when combined with good software practices and unit tests seem to work ok for the rest of us. The compilers now have sanitizers, and new versions of gcc actually tell you what your template errors are. It's 2019, not 2005 for C++. Smart pointers are now available: use them! Finally, if a Rust veteran could let me know: how does Rust deal with general resource management in the presence of exceptions? Not everything a program uses is memory: we sometimes need sockets! In C++ using RAII works well, does the Rust Type System statically error/type check non-memory resources automatically, or is that out of scope?
