> Are you trying to say that you have felt threatened, unsafe or like you were going to be alienated because you had to friendzone a female? Because I can't say that I have. And I honestly have a hard time believing that you have either.

Women tend to feel unsafe in situations in which they are statistically not unsafe, at least when compared to men. In fact, men are overwhelmingly more likely to fall victim to violent crime, including violent crime from strangers.

However, because of sycophants like you, a woman must merely say "I felt so unsafe and threatened when the man in the mall wouldn't take the hint that I wasn't interested in talking to him!" for her to suddenly become an example of western injustice against women.

> If it's the latter, he needs to know that it's not an okay attitude to have in our society.

It's not okay to even believe men have it worse (which is itself a subjective measure)?

A thought exercise for our friendly, reasonable, fact-driven hangman:

If far more men than women were graduating from college; if men universally received far lighter prison sentences than women for the same crimes; if young men were earning more than young women; if women had zero reproductive rights beyond "don't have sex with a fertile man"; if women were overwhelmingly more likely to fall victim to violent crime, including (but not limited to) murder; then would you not make a public, loud, brave scene about how unfair life is for women?

Quibbles:

Jumping on computers was "visionary" in the same way as Hollerith's work, but perhaps more so, with various complications like an antitrust suit to help jump start it. But they did a lot of interesting things in that period, seriously pursued scientific computing for a while (was one of the biggest markets for some time), made relatively affordable machines like the 650 (main memory a drum, first mass produced computer per Wikipedia) and 1130 (360 technology with some very clever hacks), certainly innovated in computer languages (FORTRAN, maybe PL/1). Taught us a lot about how not to write software (The Mythical Man Month), but were hardly unique in that, or the second system syndrome.

In a pattern I observed at the time, companies that really screwed up their disk drives, as in too many failures in the field, lost so much brand equity they were forced to sell the remnants to another company. Or at least this is how I interpret IBM's sale of their drive unit to Hitachi in 2002, and Maxtor's to Seagate in 2006.

Anyway, the point being that for disk drives IBM did worse than the pattern you describe above, this was an severe execution failure.

Although that also seems to be happening in services.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Rust will not be production ready until we have all of this. First of all, not all apps need all of these things; especially systems-level apps don't need most of this. Second, you can easily bind to C libraries that provide these things, making Rust just as production-ready as C is.

Of course, that isn't to diminish the importance of having high-quality, safe, idiomatic implementations of these things, but that shouldn't stop you from using Rust in production.
But he did. There was a Windows 95 release in 1998 (http://cs.brown.edu/memex/ACM_HypertextTestbed/papers/60.htm... is the best 'link' I can find to it. If you can find it, you should read the license present inside the installer)
Whoops, thank you. Not sure how I managed that when the parent comment used the correct word.

On a side note, the examples from that text is a little strange, as providence also can mean "the prudence and care exercised by someone in the management of resources [ant: {improvidence}, {shortsightedness}]".

So, while I think the example is indeed wrong, there appear to actually be a correct reading for the use of providence in this case (there's no long term plan made to take into account the implication of the well logs)?
Fortunately, Rust has a lovely C FFI, so for the time being any Rust library can just be a thin mapping over an existing implementation in C (the OP even suggests this for both Unicode and crypto libs). As years go on the API can remain the same while the underlying C bits get gradually replaced with Rust.
I tried it on a tech-savvy friend, taking a news story about GM firing engineers over the recall and changing the headline to say that they fired Bob Dole. His immediate reaction was to think that the WSJ got hacked, with the secondary possibility that Bob Dole really did work for GM somehow. He didn't realize what was going on until I posted a second version saying he had been fired by GM.

Be careful out there, kids.
I was in a class with the founders a few months ago - for whatever it's worth, they're vehemently opposed to segregating functionality like this.

Their plans are to offer support, and make their bones that way. Elasticsearch is a complex enough product at scale that this would probably be quite lucrative.

It's certainly the case that some folks get early access, I don't really think that was necessary to make this happen so quickly. I'm not saying they didn't have early access, just that they...

1) already had a code generator for Objective-C

2) already had infrastructure for alternate code generators (they also support C#)

3) Swift and Objective-C share the same libraries and have similar semantics where it counts

4) Writing code generators isn't really all that difficult

It's perfectly believable that they banged out enough of a first-cut at this to make an announcement within a day or two of the Swift release.

Those costs will highly depend on the kind of music and your ambition. In my opinion many artists do not actually need professional mastering. If recording an album is a loss anyways, why not make your music free and see if you can find enthusiast hobbyists to do the fine tuning for free as well.
It depends on what your production needs are, and how much of the gaps are filled in by unofficial libraries in the meantime (e.g. there are Rust crypto libraries, but none that are officially endorsed). Production-readiness comes in degrees, especially for a community project like Rust that has a relatively small paid team.

Although the internationalization story looks pretty bad, I'm heartened by my firm impression that no language does it well, that serious apps (like Firefox) tend to roll their own. One of our driving philosophies in Rust is to get actual production quality subsystems into the standard library by proving them in applications like Servo.
I looked at the website but it's not clear to me what this looks like to the Kifi-non-user I email something to. I don't feel like signing up just to find that out.

I think that whether tls-auth protects you against CCS Injection will hinge not on the HMAC but on tls-auth's replay protection. An attacker can always replay a previously-sniffed CCS packet with a valid HMAC, so it all comes down to whether that replay will be properly discarded.

Trusting any of these filthy rich buffoons, including governments, is imbecilic. The only way to change the system is through decentralized, bottom-up, participation-based (ie. opt-in) change.
That strikes me as a system that was set up with the best intentions, but which in practice acts as a barrier to, rather than facilitator of, change. The only way I can see it compelling a manufacturer to change is if someone is killed by this exploit and their family uses the existence of a report of that vulnerability to push for massive willful negligence damages in a lawsuit.

That assumes that success as a criminal entails keeping your activity a secret. I would argue that true success as a criminal is when you're able to keep operating even when people know what's going on. For examples, consider certain drug cartel bosses, or previous US Vice Presidents.

You're right, the syntax is the main thing I've heard complaints about. I find that really bizarre though. I've been working in C++ longer than Objective-C, and more than Objective-C, but I don't find anything offensive about the latter's syntax. So it's different. For me the measure of a language is how hard or easy it is to get stuff done. Objective-C holds up pretty well in that regard.

TechCrunch reached out earlier this morning. They are not happy with me.
Time is pretty horrific; I've been using the Clojure wrapping over Joda-Time, and while it's nice, this is an intrinsically extremely messy field. E.g. one that requires frequent updates for Daylight Savings Time changes.
Pretty nice. I hope future versions will allow some sort of embedded structures, eg for this segments

let
p1 = scat [c..c']^/4
p2 = delay (1/4) $ scat [c..c']^/4
p3 = delay (3/4) $ scat [c..c']^/4
in (accent . legato) (p1 </> p2 </> p3)

I would have expected something like

p2 = delay (1/4) $$ [p1]

or somesuch (sorry about the notation, I've never used Haskell - my point is about the nesting).

I would also love to see ways to define particular scales and modes and then specify operations within that scale space without necessarily articulating the individual notes. Of course at that point you're getting into compositional tooling rather than transcription.

Anyway, nice work and great documentation so far. Also good that there's a whole bunch of converters.
I'm inherently suspicious of a one-word quote, but it seems to be essentially what he said.

I don't think "everybody knew" that the NSA was moonlighting in the drug war: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/dea-and-nsa-team-intel...
Leaving aside the meat of the article, I found this quote interesting:

"""
Andreessen said he was not surprised that the National Security Agency was spying. "The biggest surprise for me was that people were so shocked, because I thought we've been funding this agency for 50 years that has tens of thousands of employees and spends tens of billions of dollars a year."
"""

Does anyone else find this to be the case too? I feel like the actions of taxpayer-funded agencies like the CIA/NSA have been despicable for decades, and I'm puzzled as to why this is the first time that people seem to actually care (which, don't get me wrong, is great). For those of us who gave a shit before Snowden, I feel like there was a sense of being resigned to the fact that most people (even in tech circles like HN) simply don't care; similar to something like climate change. I know that these revelations are relatively novel in that they involve surveillance of Americans' data as well as foreign nationals, but that was the case for warrantless wiretapping in the 2000s. That made news, but there DEFINITELY wasn't as much fuss made about it (to my bafflement at the time).

A "textbook traitor".... and which textbook would that be?
(SPOILER ALERT)

To me, the beauty of the story is that, while we as viewers do not know what has transpired in the universe between 1973 and present, neither does Wolverine. Further, since he stills ends up at the School with his friends alive in the present day, we know that a lot of character development has necessarily happened, because we saw analogous stories in the earlier movies from the now lost timeline. So while the events of the previous movies are now no longer canonical history, they are as real to Logan as they were to us, and their emotional impact still affected Logan's life in a very real way. Meanwhile, going forward the script writers are no longer slaves to continuity, which, after the third film blew up everything, greatly restricted what they could do with the main cast of characters in the present day setting.

In my opinion, so many "time reset" plots (think Star Trek Voyager's Year of Hell) leave the viewer empty because they truly have no lasting consequence on the character's we love. SF Debris (http://blip.tv/sf-debris-opinionated-reviews/voy-year-of-hel...) made the incredible suggestion that, in that Star Trek story, imagine what if, due to some kind of quantum chronometric mumbo jumbo, one of the crew members (say, Harry Kim!) had survived the big reset with their memories and experiences of the year intact. But instead, apart from some shallow insights into the characters in a "what if" scenario, it was as though it never happened.
Oh, well... no :(. The tool will be free, but it's not going to be open source. At least, not initially.

As a conservatory student and a long time user of LilyPond, it seems very impractical as a daily musical notation tool after a quick glance at the syntax.

ie: octavesUp 4 c in The Music Suite vs. c'''' in LilyPond

ie: Handling of staves and parts (as well as notes vertical to each other in multiple staves) as a horizontal stack in the code is very opposite of how music notation/engraver needs to think. In LilyPond (and any other music engraving system), you define each part/line as a separate entity and tell the system to put them together. Any discrepancies in how they actually stack up (if one line is not the full duration of a measure at one point) will result in an error with a debug statement.

However, there seems to be some philosophical difference from LilyPond these developers are after. Very interesting and will have to follow.
I started disliking this guy since he coerced Oculus Rift into a sale to Facebook (and I'm assuming soon Imgur, too). He's probably too worried about his investments and what the Snowden revelations impact will be on them, and that's why he's calling him a traitor.

And there went any shred of respect I might have had for Andreessen.

Not just because of his characterisation of Snowden, but because he's clearly more annoyed at the economic cost of the revelations to Silicon Valley businesses than about the contents of the revelations, which says a lot about his world view.
I just heard that if you sit on your hands, then you are less likely to make rash moves in chess. I suppose the same cannot be said for coding...
I don't understand Marc's position. He says that foreign governments knew about the spying but that Edward Snowden is a traitor for telling them what they already knew? So what damage is ES supposed to have done exactly? It is public record that terrorist organizations knew about intelligence services surveillance against them, which I suspect everyone on the planet would guess would be happening. So how has ES acted against the interests of the American people?

It was a shock to many people including myself that the intelligence community would explicity violating the US constitution by conducting wholesale surveillance against all American citizens. Marc would probably say either that it wasn't a violation or that it isn't surprising. I don't think this is a credible position given that the actions of the NSA and others were shocking to the people that worked at these organizations. Unless Marc has a past I'm unaware of, to say that is ridiculous.

I'm deeply disappointed :(

I wouldn't necessarily say "never." The author says Apple has no interest in open source projects, but there is precedent with WebKit and the LLVM project.
