I'm not an expert systems programmer by any means, but I think that Rust makes a distinction between garbage collection, reference counting, and its region system. There are ways to allocate structures in memory using any of those systems depending on your needs.

If you're willing to be unsafe, it should be possible to avoid most (any?) overhead from automatic memory management. Here's a quote from one of the Rust developers:

"So we basically use the runtime for three things: (a) the task system, which features lightweight threads like Go or Erlang; (b) stack checks and growth; (c) garbage collection. We used to use it for more, but lately more and more stuff has been moved out of the runtime to be written in Rust itself.

"I'd like to see a 'runtime-less Rust' myself, because it'd be great if we could implement the Rust runtime in Rust. This might be useful for other things too, such as drivers or libraries to be embedded into other software. (The latter is obviously of interest to us at Mozilla.) Rust programs compiled in this mode would disable the task system, would be vulnerable to stack overflow (although we might be able to mitigate that with guard pages), and would require extra work to avoid leaks, but would be able to run without a runtime.

"If anyone is interested in this project, I'd be happy to talk more about it -- we have a ton of stuff on our plate at the moment, so we aren't working on it right now, but I'd be thrilled if anyone was interested and could help."
I keep hoping someone will buy the thing from me. It's been fun to run it, and I think the metrics are a lot better than TIOBE's, but I just don't have the time any more.
Save Money Through DIY Car Maintenance - Infographic

I work at a typical web agency and in my experience one of the red flags for a project is the entrepeneur whose company's success relies solely on the website that we build for them (as opposed to most of our other customers who are building a website for an existing company). Hiring an agency to build a startup is a recipe for disaster. As well intentioned as they might seem, the agency just can't care about the project as much as a technical co-founder is going to care. Often when the business model turns out to be crap and there's no money left, the agency is blamed for building a website that doesn't "work".

This is hardly the place to discuss General Relativity but I can give a small explanation. Do you know the metaphor for gravity with a rubber sheet? Masses make dimples in the sheet and when particles pass, they get deflected. Similarly, when something moves past the Sun, it gets deflected and that's the reason we stay in orbit.

Of course you could say you're holding your arm still and there's no reason for it to veer of course and suddenly start moving. But it actually is in motion, everything moves through time! It's this movement that gets deflected into spatial directions. We human observers have to move through time, we can't stop to get the big picture and that's why objects in the vicinity of masses suddenly start accelerating.

I wish Bruce Schneier in an otherwise nice essay wouldn't propagate the meme "the goal of terrorists is to terrorize".

The end goal of terrorists is to fight a war or change government policy (through acts of violence). They may have a goal of terrorizing, and they may even enjoy causing harm and terror, but that is still a means to some other end, not an end in itself. The USA is targeted because of how it exercises its power in foreign policy. That does not imply that terrorism is deserved, just that actions have consequences and should be discussed in a more intelligent way rather than deceiving ourselves with over-simplistic notions.
I'm surprised the DoD is spending as little as $250MM on this type of Big Data/AI research. Most of the technology outlined in Lemnois' memo is interesting and exciting, rather than intimidating and indicative of "Terminator development." I'm particularly excited about "reasoning and inference engines that can learn from experience with little training and within mission timeframes" and advances in "human-machine interfaces to enable seamless collaboration for operations and for training."

In this aspect it's similar to C#, and Mono, I think, but in a much smaller scale.

SO has decided what they think will make a good useful community. They might be wrong, but the way to tackle that is to create a different community.

Part of SO's strategy is to rigorously prune bad questions. A bad question has a specific meaning in SO. It's defined by the FAQ. Bad questions encourage more bad questions and dilute people available to work on good questions.

We never ran any NeXT machines. There was no (and frequently continues to be, thankfully - we've got some good negotiators who manage to convince the customer that picking the language themselves is often not smart) customer requirement on language. As I recall, a number of candidate languages were examined as a replacement for C (which was what we were mostly using at the time) and the lightness of Obj-C, its Smalltalk-like object model and the ease of training newcomers to go from C to Obj-C, were amongst the reasons.
I think it comes from the following: Ada was designed to be robust against the average programmer. They prefer to "hack" around and have their program just compiling. Compared to, say, scripting languages Ada ist restrictive. I feel they dislike Haskell for the same reasons.

My explanation of the graph:

When a new book comes out it receives marketing and promotion and will sell for a few years. Then the book enters the dead zone where it will be slowly forgotten over a couple decades but it is not able to enter the public domain anymore because copyright protection continues to be extended to protect Disney's movies from the 1920s.

Since most of the books in the dead zone are not reprinted by the publishers they are inaccessible except via rummaging through the used book market.
It's a private, voluntary, non-essential service. They can do what they want, short of protected class discrimination.

Statistics with Julia
Well, actually, in C# struct instances ARE objects allocated on the stack, instead of the heap.

A parallel can be drawn with C++ in which the user of a class decides on declaration/initialization where to store the object (either on the stack, or on the heap). The difference with C++ is that in C# the author of the class decides where instances of it should be stored, so this decision happens when the class is declared, not when it's used.

Otherwise there are few differences between structs and classes and all differences stem from the differences in storage. For example struct instances must be passed by value and not reference, because by definition stack-allocated values are short-lived and playing with references to stack-allocated values is dangerous. Structs must also have an implicit constructor because stack-allocated values cannot be NULL (logically, you need a reference to represent NULL).

In my experience, all discussions about what is or isn't an object are counter-productive.

What really bugs me about Java is that you cannot build your own types that behave just like the built-in types. For instance you cannot override operators like "+" (which works for primitives or Strings), you cannot override [] (which works for arrays), you cannot declare other stack-allocated structures, arrays are reified and yet you cannot declare your own reified data-structures and so on. The presence of primitives doesn't bother me as much as lacking the means to build my own primitives.
And considering you own industry, and language basically.

It depends at what stage in the process the iPad team gets the material. At a guess I'd imagine they only get the final inDesign or pdf files shortly before those files are ready for print. Taking the inDesign files, extracting out the text and images, redoing the layout in whatever you use to layout iPad magazines (html/css?), and getting the new layout approved by whoever approves layouts will take much more time and effort than simply making a couple of minor tweaks to the inDesign file and hitting Export to jpeg.

According to the law they committed something like 1 billion dollars worth of for profit copy-write infringement based on something someone with about as much power as an 'intern' did. The fact that nobody in either company noticed just, points out how silly the damages are vs. the actual harm.

The real kicker is it's for profit AND they copied the full image. So, every time someone went to that page the web-server made yet another copy which is a separate case of copy-write infringement. So, just take the full penalty and multiply it by the number of number of downloads.

PS: Just immagine what would happen if some prosecutor actually took up the case.

I'll agree that HN isn't the place for this discussion. I will say, however, that if what I wrote comes across as me thinking he's "hiding his true intentions", that's not what I intended. Rather, he doesn't want to give voters, many of whom would not normally vote Conservative (and didn't when the libs had strong leaders) reason to distrust them. It's not a conspiracy; he's just playing a long game and trying to set up the Conservatives as Canada's new Natural Ruling Party (r).
This is copypasta, not intentional infringement.

Distinction without difference.

Googling the coolest image out there (for a given subject) and using it on a high profile website for a major company with zero concern for rights (in an industry which exists entirely on IP rights) IS intentional infringement. That the intent punches thru the core of deliberate and on to the uncharted waters of gratuitous disregard does not lessen the intent.
The Nature of Tipping Points
Patrick McKenzie's article mentioned in comment (3) is very important. Most forms and procedures (paper and digital variants) apply unnecessary and incorrect restrictions to field values. The mistakes are carried all the way up into legislation where it is assumed that everyone has a permanent physical address.

Some other very common mistakes include assumptions that people:

* have a physical address

* have one physical address

* use a mobile phone

* use any sort of telephone

* can access the Internet

* use email

* know their mother's maiden name

* have had a pet at some stage

* attended a school (and other password recovery question options...)

* have an occupation

* have one occupation

* have a credit card

* have a bank account

* have 20:20 vision

* can read English and understand what is expected of them in a form

* know their own date of birth/age

* know their own name

* know their place of birth

* have money to print forms, send letters or make phone calls

And importantly, assumptions are made that people will will agree to provide information that is not required for the interaction/transaction.

Common sense usability is to not ask unnecessary questions or collect unnecessary data.

Obj-C is basically C with objects. The first objective-c versions were simply pre-processors that generated C code.
There is significant difference between C++ and Objective-C in this matter. Implementations of C++ that emit C are almost always implemented as full compilers that targets C as output language, but Objective-C can be easily implemented as quite simple preprocessor on top of C, that has almost no understanding of C's syntax. (traditional Objective-C, ie. without closures and such features)

"Another datapoint for my theory for how Slashdot worked: the usual mob made enough actual experts mad enough to comment and other annoyed clueful people moderated those comments up."

This made my day.
I heard about Objective-C before C++. The big complaint I remember about Objective-C was that it had a very different syntax for the O-O parts. When C++ came along, it was seen as having O-O more integrated into the C language. Also, I think Borland's Turbo C++ was a big boost for the language, which probably led to Microsoft adopting C++ rather than Objective-C. Also, I think the strong type checking and fast polymorphic dispatch were attractive features.

Another thing to remember is that compilers were expensive back then. You couldn't just download a language from the web and try it out. Trying a new language mean an investment of several hundred dollars, and so you tended to just stick with your first choice. Turbo C++ was probably the first O-O language available for less than $100, so that became many people's introduction to O-O.

I found C++ to be complex and difficult, but I thought that was just the price to pay for O-O. Later, when I learned Smalltalk, I realized that was not necessarily the case.

And failing to provide one well documented example. No, just saying there were some cases is not fine.

Infringement on someone's property is more like trespassing than deprivation of a good.

But funnily enough, in this case it may actually be "copyright theft", which in 95% of the cases gets misused when meaning copyright infringement. Copyright theft actually means taking someone's work, and saying it's your work. And this is what NBC seems to have done.
