I'd like to mention that we've been recently discussing ways of getting rid of the `::<>` syntax. Then

mem::size_of::<T>()

would be

mem::size_of<T>()

which is less visually noisy. This syntax is probably the noisiest thing we haven't cleaned up yet.
>>What I'm personally ambivalent about is people forcing me to support other peoples' children, when I have delayed having my own children(and I'm in a stable relationship and we both want children) because I don't believe I'm financially able to support them.

I actually believe as a society we should be okay supporting them. But there's a caveat. The preventative measures in place we currently have in society are not working because, IMHO, we waste too much money in WarOnDrugs and questionable wars. If we could stop doing that and ramp up the education & availabilty of birthcontrol in lower income areas, I bet there wouldn't be that many of them falling through the cracks(canyons really) in the system and ending up appearing to us as being irresponsible burdens. It would be a nice small number of people that we could handle.
I would say yes to this. If the case is big enough, like the someone assassinated the leader of a large country they could pull enough strings or threaten to embargo etc.

you don't have to have soft-ware-ified things to show your design skills. you design and then code-ify. the physical portfolio can look kickass in a binder with some glossy prints. you don't need to list tons of sites so people check all your pixels or css lines, but so people get an idea of your creativity and passion

if you can present someone with a pretty tome of cool web-esque ideas they'll probably see you're legit.

According to wikipedia D-D is the second easiest reaction behind D-T. Half the reactions produce 3He directly. The other half produce a proton plus tritium, which decays to 3He with a 12-year half-life.

You'll get some D-T from the tritium you produced, but the pulsed reaction probably helps a lot.

"Assuming complete removal of tritium and recycling of 3He, only 6% of the fusion energy is carried by neutrons."

Amazing that this kind of research can be funded with a mere .0015 Instagrams (or even better, .00008 Whatsapps).
This is standard business development - mutually-beneficial partnerships which result in business gains for both parties involved. The series you linked is, IMO, a pretty decent example of native advertising. Original content was produced, the partnership with Home Depot was very clearly and loudly disclosed, at no point were there "Here are the links to the Home Depot(R) items you need to build these things, go buy them" links stuffed into the content, and the content is related to Home Depot's business (and may in fact incentivize people to go to Home Depot to buy things, the horror!) and yet is not "Home Depot is the best, Lowes sux, go buy all your stuff at Home Depot".

To let a brand "shill on your site" is called advertising. It's fine to hate it, but it is what it is. At question here isn't the practice, but rather, the degree to which it's made clear to the reader what is advertiser-produced and what is not, and the question of whether advertising copy is being pitched as not-advertising or not.

Given the chance, how would you do it better?

Sharing economy workers are 1099 contractors, so wages can be pushed below minimum wage. You may not be able to make enough to get by just by working when its convenient for you, and have to work during the high demand/wage hours or whenever jobs are being offered.

The market for sharing economy labor will probably be where demand is more unpredictable, because businesses that can predict demand will just hire employees. Workers will have short notification windows and feel more pressure to take higher paying work when it becomes available.
Totally correct. Right now we simply purchase D2 gas in small quantity so the price is relatively high. But even at those prices we'll probably spend on the order of only $100 per month on D2 when we're operating.
Email was one's passport and identity. Before Facebook became a true alternative for verifying one's identity on the web, the email address was how one accomplished serious things on the Internet. Want to verify a bank account? Email. Amazon? Email. Forums? Email. Even Facebook in the early days? Email.

Looking at Facebook's sign up page right now, and it seems that email is still required for registering a new account.

The thing is, almost every Internet service still requires an email address to sign up, and that ranges from mobile games to ecommerce shops. Some services provide the alternatives of allowing users to sign up via Facebook/Twitter/Google+; but in order for the users to get a Facebook/Twitter/Google+ account, they'll still need to sign up using an email address. Besides, almost all services that allow social network sign-in gives their users the option to sign up with email as well.

The services that do not allow email signups are few and far between -- like Medium.com, for example, but as said before, in order to get a Facebook or Twitter account, the user would still need an email address. Even mobile only apps like Whatsapp still appear to require an email address to sign up for their online support site.
Hey HNers, today we are "soft launching" an early version of MoviePanda, a movie streaming application with a few nice features including the ability to browse the catalog by directors, actors, writers, genres, ratings, etc. It also pulls IMDb reviews, allows you to watch the movies in multiple resolutions, select or upload subtitles, and the best part its catalog if fully decentralized, meaning no matter what it will always stay online.

We have been working on MoviePanda for over a year and even though we still have some work to do we wanted to share it with you looking to get some feedback. The version we are releasing today has around 3k titles (YTS database) once we launch the beta version the catalog will be of around 40k movies and 15k TV shows.

All code will be available during the next weeks too.
Great app, easy to use.
Many thanks for to the works done.

"Turn Your Idea Into a Business in Less Than 2 Minutes"

GoDaddy also has an ecommerce website builder (and like Yahoo it isn't easy enough to compete with Weebly or robust enough to touch Shopify).

But what's interesting is that GoDaddy advertises itself the same way as Yahoo does here. GoDaddy always has slogans like: "Get Up And Running In 5 Minutes!"

I've asked people internal at GoDaddy about this and they've said this is what their users always say they want. So I bet Yahoo has run similar surveys and had similiar conclusions: people want to build websites in 5 minutes.

The problem is obvious. Any website worth building will take much longer than 2 minutes to make. It strikes me as a bit of a tone-deaf marketing slogan.
Actually it is implementation defined.

You may get a NULL pointer or a non-NULL pointer which may not be dereferenced.

This is intentional so that you can always call free on a pointer received from malloc functions, regardless of the allocation result.( passing a NULL to free is ok )
Still going on that vein, eh? If you notice a global imbalance in CPU usage, you should be totally focused on understanding the cause, not inventing excuses why g() is not the problem or why people investigating f() are wrong.

I frankly don't care whether it's a pipeline problem or a filter problem, or both. I have more than a decade of performance work under my belt; I'm familiar with the usual arguments. What makes me take notice is that so much effort is put into arguing why there isn't a problem at all, or that people who say there is a problem are somehow mistaken.

Seriously. Do you think that women are intellectually flawed? Yes or no? If yes, I'd love to hear why. If no, what is your best guess why they are underrepresented? No tricks, no shifting of levels. Why do you think it's so? "I don't know, let's find out together" is a perfectly good answer.
If you want to keep up with robotics maybe a bit better, I believe the folding robot was spammed to /r/robotics last week or the week before. I'm not trying to be critical or anything, just letting you know that that link was quite popular on a popular robotics forum ;)
Not exactly; from §7.20.3 in C99:

If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-
defined: either a null pointer is returned, or the behavior is as if the size were some
nonzero value, except that the returned pointer shall not be used to access an object.
Try this:

A dual column layout : on the left a screenshot of each of your best work and on the right a written explanation of why what you did benefitted the client. Turn each one into a three or four paragraph case study of why hiring you helps the project manager, Dev Lead or business owner.

A write up should cover the business need (40% of people who started filling in the quotation form did not complete. I rewrote it in AngularJS reducing the number of screens, improving response time and auto-filling some sections, and the completion rate rose to 78%. This gave an increase in leads of 30 per month)

Or

After their original contractor failed to complete, XXX hired me with two weeks to delivery to finish the site in time for the restaurant opening. After a full and frank day of discussion and designs we had agreed a reduced feature set which I delivered in time.

If at any point you can work in something like "this site is written in AngularJS which enables professional looking functional work like this to be created in less than 15 minutes - see this wistia video for a screencast where I show you" you get extra points.

Basically sell the benefit to the other person, not show how much you know about JavaScript. The person wining the cheques does not even know what a curly brace is for and so assumes you are an expert already.

Ps - put a big professional photo of yourself I the site, smiling. That seems to be a thing now on freelancer sites

Technically, the constitutional right is "the right of the people peaceably to assemble".

And the wikipedia summary is pretty good: "Unlawful assembly is a legal term to describe a group of people with the mutual intent of deliberate disturbance of the peace. If the group are about to start the act of disturbance, it is termed a rout; if the disturbance is commenced, it is then termed a riot."

So in other words, if the police allege you were there not to protest but to start a riot, they don't actually need to wait for the riot to start. You are probably thinking "man, it seems like the police can abuse that law just by always claiming the crowd looked like they were going to become violent". And you are correct, but that's the way it is.
I don't understand the point about college students viewing email as stale. I'm in college and email is used more than ever. I used to get tens of emails a day from various student groups (now they get sent to spam), and it is pretty much the easiest/fastest way for groups to communicate with each other.

Sure, email isn't "sexy" anymore, but that doesn't mean people of my generation don't appreciate it.

Create a great product that perfectly solves someone's problems. There's no substitute for creating a great solution.

Then, personally, there's the tried and true places to show your work:

1) Show HN

2) ProductHunt

3) Your own social media

4) Relevant subreddits

Note: This is primarily effective for showing free / open products. Think of it more as a way of getting feedback than closing sales.

Then, I can think of a few ways that could work to let people know your product exists (generic ideas that don't necessarily fit every product):

1) Attend conferences relevant to the problem or where your customers frequent

2) Attend meet ups relevant to the problem

3) Get referrals from friends and your network to potential customers (ask, do you know someone who works in ____?)

4) Cold emails -- and follow up with them even if there's no response. Often it takes 7 touches to get an answer (yes or no) and persistence works. Check out my friends at http://www.persistiq.com.

Note: Easier than it sounds. Marketing and selling are hard.

You don't touch on the fact that options act can act Monads (i.e., that you can invoke an operation on the inner value, conditional on whether or not the optional value is present). For example, an optional user translates naturally to an optional user.name.

I haven't tried swift, and it's not obvious to me from the swift documentation if their options support arbitrary transformations, or just method chaining. In ruby (with ActiveSupport) this is the difference between:

might_be_nil.try(:method)

and

might_be_nil.try { |value| my_function(value) }

The latter is more general and useful than the former.
Agreed. I actually enjoy email but would really like a great App/SaaS that would be a good rolodex.
I loved the line:

The APA noted that young people who become addicted to marijuana lose an average of six IQ points by adulthood.

A complete distortion. It was actually a single presentation at the American Psychological Association (APA) convention that made that claim. I see no indication on the APA website http://www.apa.org that the statement was endorsed by the group.

I can't help but see this as a commercial attempt to keep the failed war on drugs (and the government money) rolling.

That's very interesting! However, by injecting your code at that level you can draw prettier polygons but still the same number of polygons as before, right? For these cases I was thinking hooking at a higher level (the "render model" method vs the "render triangle" method), for the things you can't do at the driver level.

Ah, so federal preemption is okay when it's good for businesses' profits (e.g. overriding state environmental and product-safety laws), but bad when it's bad or businesses' profits (e.g. imposing environmental or product-safety laws)? Sounds like policy-biased "federalism", not principled federalism.
Because Rust doesn't let you compare references. Rather, comparing references actually compares the referred-to value (which requires that said value implements the comparison operators).

What you can do is convert a reference into a raw C pointer `const T`, and then you can compare those addresses. But the reference type itself doesn't make any guarantees about the address, which means you can't make any assumption about the address of the resulting `const T`. Reference types only make guarantees about the semantics of the reference, and since you can't compare the pointer value of references, the pointer value is not something the reference type guarantees.

I've spend some time with Go, but never felt overly productive with it. As someone else in this discussion mentioned a simple language doesn't mean that solutions in this language are simple! Look at what real problems you have to solve in you applications, and then tell me that generics in a statically typed language are not important! Go applications are full of useless code to circumvent this restriction. Want to make something immutable? Not very convenient in Go, very easy in most other (statically typed) languages.

While Scala has a complex type system it is a simple language at it's heart. For example try-catch is not a special language feature but another application of the powerful pattern matching. It will take a little longer to learn Scala compared to Java, but you get a much better tool to solve the most problems. And you get all the libraries and the tools (any Go IDE on the level of IntelliJ or NetBeans?) of the big Java ecosystem.

But even if you don't want to use Scala, you could be more productive with Java than with Go. From a Java perspective Go has not much to offer, not even fancy concurrency.

Wait what? Snowden himself says that the source of the information was office gossip. This isn't a case of believing or not believing Snowden. It's a case of people taking a snippet of gossip and reporting it as true because they want it to be true!

Want to verify a bank account? Email. Amazon? Email. Forums? Email. Even Facebook in the early days? Email.

This is a big part of why email continues to thrive. So many services have email baked in (e.g. a new WordPress install sends you an email). There are some services that let you choose between email and SMS, like plane reservations and banking alerts, but 95% of the time, any notification will come through email.

Given that, there is no way you could eliminate email without cutting off all those services in the process. Any new protocol to replace email would have to be a drop-in replacement for anything that currently sends out email or at least coexist peacefully alongside it.

You would think that if anyone could accomplish that it would be Facebook or Twitter, but I haven't seen any integration like that so far (e.g. get your plane reservation update or Amazon shipping confirmation by Twitter DM or Facebook message).
