I'm not greatly familiar with Rust (and have never written it), and I think I was able to follow. If I'm reading correctly, there are certain traits that objects get automatically if the compiler finds they qualify, which in my mind would be something like Java automatically adding the Serializable interface to classes that it concluded were in fact Serializable, and then removing it when you did something that made it no longer automatically Serializable. The proposal seems to be to make it more like Java: you have to explicitly write "implements Serializable", and it doesn't by default. Then presumably some logic would still apply to ensure that it really can be given the trait you ask for. In particular the move/copy/clone semantics would (under this proposal) no longer be chosen automatically. It seems (again, to someone who hasn't used Rust) like a tradeoff between compilers that make smart choices automatically by default when possible (e.g. about representational strategy), vs. compilers that avoid doing surprising things.

> I have a shore place. I get bored on the beach. You know what I do? I get off the beach and go answer emails and "check in". I enjoy doing that better than sitting on the beach. I do the same when I am on vacation. Some people like what they do and it's not work. It's actually relaxing.

That's lovely for you, but please understand that you are atypical as humans go. For most people, most of the time, work causes stress and stress reduces health/lifespan. Outliers are definitely worth considering, but they don't disprove the accuracy of the average data.

1. How do Indians in India being poorer affect this? Obviously the ones in extreme poverty aren't the ones coming and working in the US.
2. You provide no evidence of black latino culture (I assume you mean black and latino cultures, since they're separate entities) looking down upon education. You seem to fail to grasp what exactly institutional racism is, because lack of education of minority groups who tend to live in lower socioeconomic areas is institutional racism.
3. SF can indeed be racist against other groups, even if it isn't against all minority groups.

This is exactly why I don't understand why it is called "package management." What good is NPM if you just need to deploy tarballs anyway? It's good for bloating dependencies and installing 10 of the same library. It completely punts on actually managing packages, by just copying everything -- recursively.
In these cases, it's important to define recovery - in a lot of these cases, brain is dead, and dead is dead. Sometimes, the rest of the brain is plastic enough to "reroute"so you get something back, but most of these cases, to "recover", you'd essentially have to build a new brain...

Keep in mind TDCS isn't a fancy brain machine interface that's intelligently interacting with neurons, it's just dumb direct current that's being sent into tissue...

I think the overall line of research certainly is worthwhile pursuing, just that this specific tDCS project may be being overhyped in just how much it means...
The reason why this is allowed is that is seemingly pointless code. After this buffer is memset'd it is never referenced again and falls out of scope. Assuming that all other code behaves safe and doesn't rely on undefined behavior it is unreachable. It doesn't matter if you set it to zero or not if no one reads it. For a lot of code this is a valid assumption and a safe optimizations. Read and write calls are special since they do have side effects that can't be optimized out by a compiler. Someone please correct me if I am misunderstanding this code snippet.

I am fine if a compiler makes an optimization like this for my code but I can understand why this is unacceptable for crypto.
"Once you start letting the manufacturers sell direct, then all of a sudden the dealers I have in 163 towns of under 15,000 population, they disappear," he said. "All we would have is dealers in the major metropolitan areas with one price controlled by the factories. That is not good for anyone, certainly not 26 million Texans."

That would be great! That would be great for everyone, except maybe the dealers.

I like how he says "price controlled by the factories" as if the factories have nothing to do with the price now.

"We integrate with a variety of exchanges and also hold our own reserves. When you sell your bitcoins for USD we usually sell them to other Coinbase users at some point down the line (this is where our reserves come from), but we may cash them out if needed.

Huh. That doesn't seem crazy to me at all, I mean, if you are paying a bunch of money per-head, you want those heads to stick around a while. And I thought that VC funded aqui-hires were typically $1M+ per head? Yeah, I'll stick around four years for $250K/yr on top of market salary.

On the other hand, if I have 2% of the company, uh, yeah, then it looks a lot worse. but legally speaking, my understanding is that you can walk (you lose your golden handcuffs, but 2% of a million bucks is... not going to keep a silicon valley nerd anywhere they don't want to stay.)

Someone published the CT scan of the brain, IIRC, there certainly wasn't a lot left. Not by volume, at least...
Much of what the brain and sense organs do is filter information down from reality through the senses, down again through the brain (where it's then reconstructed into a virtual reality). For me, depression is like switching over to a completely different filtering network.

>>"Once you start letting the manufacturers sell direct, then all of a sudden the dealers I have in 163 towns of under 15,000 population, they disappear"

Why, because they're artificially increasing prices for consumers? Texas should end special treatment for dealers, and let manufacturers sell cars directly to consumers, if that's what the market wants to do.
There's absolutely no contradiction between disapproval of NSA spying and support of US foreign. The article does try to make that point and it's childlike in its stupidity.
I'm trying to learn more about this issue. Could you elaborate on the evidence for people willing to pay for good content? I know almost no one who pays for TV a la carte through iTunes or Amazon.

I also don't understand why Game of Thrones supports your argument. Of course the shows that are pirated the most will be the ones that are (1) popular and (2) expensive or hard to access. And of course if those shows were cheaper they'd be pirated less. But I don't see how that relates to the idea that people are willing to pay for good content. My roommates pirate GoT, but I am skeptical they'd pay even if it was available for $4.99 an episode.
"It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic."

This doesn't make sense. My understanding is that newspapers weren't primarily ad-supported until the 1920s, when new technologies enabled nationwide economies of scale for both newspapers and ad buyers. Is this not correct?
Yes I do :)

You can see on the following step which image is being used when deploying an app:

https://github.com/progrium/dokku/blob/master/dokku#L33

So what I did was change that to an image of my own based on the progrium/buildstep one:

sudo docker run -i -t progrium/buildstep /bin/bash

Now you can make changes to it and save them into your new image (while you are still logged in to progrium/buildstep):

sudo docker commit <id> myownimage

OK, and inside this image I have referenced my own buildstep instead of the default Heroku one. The relevant txt document is in /build/.

And to get to the point I have changed the npm install line to run pointing to the http EU repo.

npm install --registry "http://registry.npmjs.eu" --userconfig $build_dir/.npmrc --production 2>&1 | indent

That is one way to go about it.

'Best' can measured in a few ways, the RPi has a huge community, and it's certainly a bargain (though you will end up buying a bunch of odds and ends to get going). The Beaglebone Black is probably the other major contender, way more GPIO pins, can boot from the onboard memory, is ARMv7, for $10 more.

This is almost certainly driven entirely by Eben Upton, who is the link between Broadcom and Raspberry Pi. He's probably been bundling up the huge list of demands for OSS video drivers and dumping them on the desk of the right person, while wearing down the objectors. It's something that Raspberry Pi have wanted for ages.

Edit: ah, Eben has turned up here himself :)
I love playing Devil's Advocate. Perhaps I have been participating on the Internet for too long, but I tend to think that anyone who cannot maintain composure in the face of dissent needs to be trolled hard and often.

A lot of the rhetorical arsenal that works well in person, like the array of ad hominem attacks used to emotionally undermine the opponent's credibility in the eyes of a specific audience, just don't fly when all that you know about the guy behind the ideas is maybe his IP address and whatever else he chooses to tell you about himself, such as the shape of his cutie mark, the number of medals of honor he has been awarded, or the number of blood rubies in his eyepatch.

Appeals to authority come crashing to a halt with a flippant [citation needed]. Bottled talking points can be countered with the bottled rebuttals. Physical bullying is, of course, a practical impossibility. It's like being on the Internet forces you to actually have a cogent argument and defend it instead of relying on all the rhetorical crutches.

I've had a much higher conversion rate with PayPal, even though I love stripe. It's annoying, because it's hard to do add-on payments with PayPal. Stripe is basically a dream to work with. But, if you don't have PP, you should -- but then once you do, it torques your conversion numbers per platform because people just see the PayPal button and click it. Suddenly 90% of your sales are through PP. The fact is: no one wants to type in their CC numbers and all that nonsense. Convenience factor is huge.

It's not sensical to choose one or the other over which YOU like more. You're in business to increase profits. If that means a PayPal button, so be it.
At the risk of getting off-topic... are you confident that your opinion isn't just justifying your own selfishness? (sincerely curious, not meaning to offend/attack)

I could imagine the same logic applying to someone who shoplifts, which is hopefully clearly wrong. E.g., "I prefer to support future-viable business models, and stores that allow shoplifting are not future-viable. I'm just trying to help the world reach a better equilibrium sooner by imposing extra costs on non-future-viable businesses."

What do you think is the main distinction between your position and the hypothetical shoplifter?

I'm sorry for voicing my ignorance, but the article mentions a high-performance timer with microsecond granularity.

Are these things actually useful to anyone? I was under the impression that most operating systems use something on the near order of a few milliseconds of granularity--thus, any extra precision is not really useful.

It seems strange to me that we'd care about microsecond resolution in Javascript.
This feature set is very cool!

I personally would not install a device that requires a 3rd party to function when the functionality should be on my own computer, but other people may not feel that way.

One issue is that it doesn't look like a doorbell - people aren't going to find it to press it. Make the button stick out more and light it.

Powering it is going to be tough for people. Make sure the wire to power it has a VERY tiny connector, so you can drill a very small hole in the wall and feed the wire.

But I'm pretty impressed with the idea.
Risk, banks don't want to deal with it since a tsunami of fraudulent wires will be heading their way because scammers can turn their botnet obtained bank logins to untraceable bitcoins.

Whatever RasPi is, the fact remains that they're selling a relatively open platform at price near production costs. And that platform just got significantly more open.

And they are now offering a bounty for the creation (refinement, really) of more free software. Which will benefit the entire community surrounding the RasPi. So that is good. Even if they were offering $10 USD, there might be someone who'll take up the challenge just to get the bragging rights.

I had to laugh at "Apple security flaw could let hackers beat encryption"

Funny thing about this article, it makes me not want to trust app developers like Level -- since, by chance, apps like Chrome were not affected. Now, does this really mean I'm suggesting don't use SecureTransport? No, but "The only fix is to install the latest security patch, which Apple released Feb. 21." is a lie, as is "Level [...] is requiring that users update their OS before they can use the app—a necessary step, according to Fuentes."

Frankly, "It's a lot more technical and hard for nontechnical people to grasp," is silly too. What's so hard to understand about "if you're running iOS 6 or 7 before the recent updates, the padlock you see in your Safari browser is meaningless"? Of course, it's harder to tell if any other apps are using SSL in the first place, but you shouldn't trust apps with your data unless they're from reputable developers who will take responsibility for risks. (E.g. banks) And at that point, it's the developer's job to release an update that doesn't use SecureTransport for older OSes -- as well as encouraging people to update and disallowing prior releases from being automatically downloaded through the App Store (unless they target iOS 4 or 5 specifically).

You now know of me. I spend around $50/month downloading content from Amazon, be it music or tv. I would buy Game of Thrones as it came out if I could, but I can't.

Absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence. Especially if you've done no investigation.

$5 might be a bit steep for some, $2-3 is just about perfect. But honestly I'd still pay $5 for content created at this level, if not just to encourage the people creating this quality of content to keep doing it.
