Not less then one column character borders.. It has to burn a column to create borders.. And a couple of other laggy issues.. I need to play with tmux more but when on a bunch of different machines going iTerm straight to the box and using splits makes for a more enjoyable experience.

IMHO Arguing about terminal emulators is almost as religious as arguing about languages. Pick what works for you and I won't judge you if you don't judge me.. Now can we get back to solving real problems.. LOL :-)

Is there a capability or plans to be able to export a header file from Rust code that C code (or Python, Go, whatever) could reference? I couldn't find anything when searching for it but it seems that it'd be possible since Rust doesn't have a runtime, right?
There's also the factor of immaturity: the language is young and changing, so it hasn't really been possible/sane to spend the effort writing high-performance micro-optimised libraries for various tasks.

I'm not sure you really need much in the form of modern tools to achieve this -- the code base above is basically include macros and jump labels?

As mentioned by agumonkey, it feels a little bit like Forth.

In fact, I seem to recall a rather excellent tutorial on 68000 assembly featured very similar structure (even if I never finished it -- at the time I was defeated by my own bugs and the fact that those bugs, without an MMU or memory protection, could easily crash the entire machine. It was rather demotivating...).

For another example, see the original source of Apple II DOS, posted here a while back:

http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/apple-ii-dos-source-cod...

Fundamentally I don't think the structure of the code is all that different? (Please correct me if I'm oversimplifying, or missing something).
It looks pretty bad on windows.
Yes, you can expose C symbols from a Rust library:

#[no_mangle]
pub extern fn rustlib_increment(x: i32) -> i32 { x + 1 }

Understand that the FCC has been getting slapped around in court by cable and telecom companies for over a decade. This rule making did not just come out of nowhere.

I think that the FCC wants to implement some form of net neutrality but feels hamstrung by legislation and court precedent. So collecting a ton of comments is their way to demonstrate that there is huge demand for a rule. This will either back them up in court after they issue the new rule, or it help them to persuade Congress to update the 1996 Act.
At Ruxcon last year there was a very interesting talk by an electoral systems researcher (I can't recall her name). She went through a number of electronic voting systems, and they all suck. Some more than others. The only case where she found a system that was close to acceptable was in a crypto organisation where everyone was highly technically fluent in the system. Certainly not transferable to the general public. She also noted that computerised systems tend to favour right-wing policies even if the algorithm is fair - people who vote for leftist policies are over-represented amongst migrants, people with disabilities, and other non-mainstream demographics.

She did have the opinion though that there was as place for electronic machines in the voting booth, and it was this: register your vote on a machine. It prints out a slip with clear, unambiguous markings against your selected candidate(s). Verify that it has the content you want, then go lodge the slip like any other paper ballot. You now have a clearer, less ambiguous version of the paper ballot, which is more accessible to people with certain kinds of disabilities to boot.

Most of the times that a paper ballot recount differs is not because of inept counters, but because some voters leave ambiguous marks. She said that in Australia, it has about the best system possible (edit: probably 'in current use') in terms of verifying the count: an AEC official does the counting, and the major parties volunteer scrutineers to challenge ambiguous voting slips. As there are mutually opposing witnesses, you get a fairly robust count - the differences come when one set of scrutineers allows one ambiguous mark, but on a recount that same ambiguous mark gets treated differently by another set of scrutineers.

The important thing is the pile of paper though - the evidence that people voted a certain way. In effect, as soon as you don't have the physical evidence, you're at the mercy of "trust us, it's accurate". How do you scrutinise that?

Seems like if the "boot.asm" (actually sector 0 of the floppy) could be made relocatable away from sector0,
then it could still be functional when stored in a filesystem (including on a HDD) not unlike BOOTSECT.DOS.
The remainder of the floppy (sectors 1 through 16 proper) when copied to the same sectors (which are normally blank
and unused) on a MBR/BIOS style HDD work just the same as from floppy without having to be in a filesystem
themself.

Then you could easily chainload to Floppy Bird on a HDD from other bootloaders (like WinNT5 & NT6), with no changes to the main ASM program.

EDIT: the comments in boot.asm refer to sectors 1 & 2 since they are the first 2 sectors of the floppy, these two are officially numbered 0 & 1 in a disk editor or DD command.

Oddly, the following more modest proposal hasn't gotten much traction: characters that share history but have divergent graphical representations in the various dialects of alphabetic script shall share codepoints, and a mechanism beyond the scope of Unicode (like lang attributes or plain guesswork) shall be used to decide whether a given codepoint means L or ᴫ or Λ or whatever.

I can see it being a performance issue if you need to fsync session updates to disk constantly, but personally I'd be pretty much happy if the session was only saved at normal shutdown. Maybe saving it after a certain idle period would also be useful.

Would that mitigate your performance concerns, or did I not guess the source of the issue correctly?

"Well, on Android the original Flappy Bird was 894kb in size, and this Floppy Bird is only 8.7kb."

You're actually making my point. Virtually the entirety of both those numbers is going to be image (and, on the Android version, audio data). Using lower-resolution assets is not something reserved to assembly language, and the size of the code is just not an issue next to that, most of the time. The biggest exceptions on desktops/servers being when executable makes the difference between spilling instruction cache and not. Things can get tighter on embedded, but there too tables and stuff are more often the cause of contention.

"Plus the 8.7kb includes enough utility code to obviate the need to load an OS for the game to run on top of, so the size ratio actually is better than the apparent 100:1."

Enough code to obviate the need for an OS (for this narrow use case, in Real Mode with BIOS calls available) is probably fewer bytes than enough metadata to convince Android to run you. But as mentioned, you're not actually comparing code size at all really.

"The TAB key changes the bird's color scheme."

I'm not sure what your point is here. Cycling palettes is a neat trick, but nothing new, nothing complicated, and certainly nothing that couldn't have been done as easily in another language.

Edited to add: Perusing your other comments, you seem to have plenty more savvy than your comment would show... were you trolling or trying to make some oblique point that I missed or what?
In Australia, they're counted by an government official, and overseen by mutually hostile volunteers (scrutineers) supplied from the major parties. It's boring to be a scrutineer, but it's in the major party interests to ensure they are sent.

Well, Rust uses llvm, so unless rustc is generating really poor intermediate code, its performance will be the same as clang C/C++.

YC has now funded enough companies that if it has the data (likely in a bunch of spreadsheets) to do a more accurate version of this. Expenses aren't really flat, growth isn't purely exponential and today's estimates aren't reality. A simple model that fixes those three things, should improve accuracy though it would still be subject to enormous volatility which could also estimated based on the same history. This also ignores optionality and probability of a failed raise which would further shift the answer.

Haxe is pretty awesome once you start working a server/client app from a single code base. You save so much mental energy not having to do context switching on a language, and you're not afraid to make drastic changes to logic or data structures because you're making both changes at the same time.

Iv got a similar story.

I had internet from our national monopoly for couple of years. Cancelled it in one of their brick and mortar rep centers no problem.

One month passes and new bill shows up, its like they didnt notice me cancelling. Called them, rep confirmed bug in system, said he resolved it and gave me confirmation number. Next month same thing. This time my first words were 'im recording this, state your name again' followed by 'I am holding you personally responsible if your company tries to extort money from me ever again, your name will be on court papers'. Worked like magic, no more phantom bills.

I dont care its just some some poor sob working for the man in call center. Company tried to steal my money and they were part of that system.

I wonder how the decisions for inclusion of languages were made, as there are some very odd decisions. For example, Osmanya is a script created for the Somali language that was hardly ever used (Somali literacy was only widespread after the latin alphabet was adopted - previously Arabic was commonly used). The population of actual users of this script is pretty indisputably 0. 100,000 would be a wildly ambitious estimate of the number of people who had ever actually even seen the script.

On the other hand, Oriya, which has over 33 million native speakers, including 80% of India's Odisha state, does not appear to be supported.
The average transaction price of a car in the United States in 2013 was ~$32,000. That figure (from TrueCar) actually excludes Mercedes-Benz, and ultra-exotics.
GPS receivers also have to correct for things like light traveling slower through plasma in the ionosphere. Receivers on the ground actually solve for their positions in 4 dimensions (they need to solve for time!). GPS is so cool.
I want a language I would enjoy programming in. Rust seems to have a lot of what I want (GC not mandatory, perf, etc, etc) BUT private-by-default is a terrible idea. I started writing a Rust program and I was just typing pub pub pub all over the place. Ugly. That plus the excessive markup the language requires for safety are enough to put me off it.

Video game programmers desperately need a new language to replace C++, but I think this is not it, because the amount of friction added for safety reasons feels very high.

I'll keep an eye on the language as it evolves, though.
$35,000 will be _after_ rebates, guaranteed. So, figure on the low 40s, base model. Which would still be an amazing price... today. But we're talking about 2017. Probably _late_ 2017 since they haven't even broken ground on the battery factory that will be needed to build these things. Meanwhile, Nissan already has a US battery factory and is rumored to have a 150-mile EV for 2016. Some recent customer surveys and the recently announced battery replacement price suggest that they could price that car under $40,000, a full year before Tesla.

Ask HN: Is it worth learning web development now?
I was researching and planning on jumping into a dev bootcamp in the coming months. Actually its a back to back bootcamp, one for rails and one that teaches Node and mobile.

I am wondering if it's worth it to invest the time and money to become a good developer at this stage in the game?

My main concerns are A) if there really is a shortage that could use filling and B) when I have honed my skills a solid base (around 1 year in), would there really be a job for me?

I would love to hear your opinion!

For reference I am 25, my background is in IT and I am currently at a senior management level in a marketing function.
No. It would have the same representation as Vermont and Wyoming, both states that have smaller populations and larger land masses.
I think your response is on point because Rust also seems to be a lot of what I want (GC not mandatory, perf, etc, etc, plus pattern matching). Private by default is literally a huge positive for me. But the terribleness of Rust strings is enough to put me right off of it.

I'm worried that all of us are waiting for something to replace C++ that can't happen.
The open source community cannot simultaneously use "anybody can fix bugs and add features" as one of their loudest pitches and then get offended when people suggest doing so. Either being able to dive in and fix it yourself is an edge case or it is not.
Aaron Swartz and the YC Community
I just saw the new Aaron Swartz documentary, "The Intenet's Own Boy." It chronicles the tragic destruction of Aaron at the hands of a brutally cruel government. They crushed him emotionally and also financially. His legal bills were in the millions of dollars. Frankly, I'm disappointed that the tech community did not do more to support his struggle. YC in particular. He was after all, one of their own. One of their success stories so to speak. With all the billions that the community has at their disposal, should more have been done to support a young visionary when he decided to step outside the profitable world of tech and into the dangerous, unforgiving world of politics? We all claim to want to "change the world" but Aaron took that motto to its word, and paid for it with his life. What does that mean? Do no-financial struggles matter, or is it all about making that first billion?

Well you didn't mention what memory bus the processors would be installed in...
The intent of private-by-default is to better control the API that a compilation unit presents. Rust allows you to inline functions across compilation units, which is incredible for optimization but inflates binaries with AST metadata (and as a result, inflates compilation times) if you attempt to make public every function under the sun. Rust also intends to have an ironclad versioning story, which means that API breakage will be taken tremendously seriously. With public-by-default, it's far too easy to accidentally break your API by modifying something that was not intended to be exposed in the first place. It's the antithesis of reliable software.

You're of course welcome to think that private-by-default is a terrible idea, but let's be aware that features are not adopted without reason. Programming language discourse (in general, not just related to Rust) is all too often dominated by people who seem to think that particular combinations of features are chosen at random out of a hat.
People shop on monthly payments. Say that gas is $5/gallon in three years (and I'm pretty sure that's conservative). For 1500 miles a month at 30 mpg, that's $250 a month in gas. Subtract that plus maintenance from your payment and you're getting into econobox territory. I think $35,000 will be a pretty big deal.
