It is indeed a weird language. I've been rusting heavily for about a week (doing Matasano crypto challenges) and I'm still puzzled at lifetime errors.

Managing lifetimes is hard to reason about (though this is not a problem with Rust, but with lifetimes... Rust just makes it explicit.)

As soon as you start using generics things can quickly get out of control. Here's one of my function signatures:

pub fn xor_together<'a, 'b, 'r, A, B, R, T, U>(iter_a: T, iter_b: U) -> Map<'r, (&'a A, &'b B), R, Zip<T, U>>
where A: BitXor<B, R>,
T: Iterator<&'a A>,
U: Iterator<&'b B>

If you get those lifetimes wrong, the error propagates and you end up having lifetime errors farther in your call chain, which are quite hard to debug. I'm not even sure those lifetimes are 100% right.

Some other weird things include closures. There are several types of closures, not interchangeable with each other (nor with fn) and honestly I don't understand them (and couldn't find docs to explain them). I hope this changes as Rust stabilizes.

I'm loving it so far, but boy... how hard it is.
It's actually a fairly recent invention. In the middle ages, various influential priests pointed out that if ever our observation of nature conflicts with our understanding of the bible, clearly our understanding of the bible is lacking.

From a Christian perspective, you could argue that Biblical Literalists have made their own interpretation of the bible into their idol, and closed their eyes to God's reality around them.

In any case, I personally consider Biblical Literalism one of the greatest threats to Christianity. It can only push people away from God.
That wasn't my intention at all.

Anyway. Redis is considerably mature but still have edge cases that will literally void all you data. And that's definitely not okay when it's being used as your source of truth.
This is a good one!)
Have you tried clipping your bag below you, like on a sling off your harness? It takes only a few seconds longer to set up that way, and the rope feeds pretty easily because it's coming out in line with your brake hand. It's also a bit more stable because the weight of the rope is on your harness instead of above it (as when you're wearing the backpack).
It doesn't surprise me that you also make an assumption about what I believe, considering you sprayed a dozen comments of bile about what Tim Cook believes based on almost nothing.

How about you drop the faux intellectual superiority and just accept what others choose to believe - be it their religious beliefs, political or sexual orientation?

That is the very definition of tolerance - and, ironically, the exact thing that Cook standing up for.
What’s the differences between lutfish in Norway and Sweden? I’ve eaten it in southern Sweden with it presented to me as traditionally Swedish.
I am incredibly grateful to Cook for this, not least because of how it will affect young gay people.

When I was a child, I felt generally good about myself. I was reasonably smart, well-spoken, curious, and so on, and I wanted to do something important with my life. Some nagging part of me suspected I was gay from very early on, but I resisted it intensely. I wasn't really afraid of being mistreated, although I probably should have been. People were already calling me names so I wasn't worried about that. More important for me was my sense that being gay meant being marginal.

There hasn't been a gay President, and at least when I was a child there weren't many gay people visible to me at all. The image of gay people presented to me were not powerful, focused on frivolous things, and consumed by attitude and lifestyle. If I wanted to do something important, I couldn't possibly be gay. It just didn't fit.

Knowing that the CEO of not only the most powerful company, but also the most admirable company, is gay would have helped me enormously. I always wanted apple products even before I could afford them, and this would have meant a clearly visible path forward. I can't imagine how happy this must be making some confused young people, given how happy it's making me right now.
I agree that it would be weird to call the hiring manager "out of the blue"—I would ask for an introduction, rather than a phone number. If your friend is a bit introverted, have them introduce you via email, then respond with a (very short) bit about who you are and what your motivation is.
> In some states the list of things forbidden to discriminate on misses sexual orientation.

It doesn't miss it, that would imply an unintentional oversight. There might have been a time when it was just not something people thought of including (although the fact that homosexuality was often explicitly criminalized also suggests that was not the case), but by now there is no state where there has not been an effort to get such protections on the books, so it is, in every case where it is not explicitly protected, a deliberate exclusion.
> Still, I must admit it would feel a bit weird to ask my peers for their manager’s number and then ask the manager if they want to meet, just ”out of the blue”.

That would be strange. Wouldn't you get your friend, the intermediary, to set up the "date?"

"Of course, it's true that consciousness may emerge from the complexity of the connections rather than the raw count."

Your "of course" is taking as proved something that is not (the consciousness is computation hypothesis).

In your benefit you said may so of course you're not convinced. Which is good because people shouldn't believe in things that aren't testable. :)

And you talk about birds but there are als unicellular organisms reacting to anestesics, so that doubt should be even broader

We don't need access to private gists and are not enumerating the Gist API in anyway.

The only code that gets shared with the site is when a new gist is created. Never previous gists.

I'll investigate the Github API scope settings immediately and see if I can make the access level only public gist.

Thanks for the head-up.
It's not about being hostile/combative or you being too open; it's business.

When a company (or person) asks you to sign a contract, it's an offer presented and written entirely for their benefit. There's no reason at all to attempt to make it "fair" - nor should they. It's your job to take care of your interests and to walk away or push back. Their only interest in trying to make the contract amicable is to seal the deal quickly and/or to not burn bridges.

This is true with everything. If you want to buy a house, the offer you make should be about getting the most for your money. Mentally, you may want to be "decent" with your offer, but that's really just about trying to close the deal quickly before another offer is presented to the seller.

Eventually young and healthy people turn into old people. Also, you should qualify that with the gender. You maybe be a young and healthy female but you would have been hardpressed to get independent coverage once you hit 'motherhood' age.

Very high degrees of concentration tend to have negative effects on the longevity of the cell. So sure, you get a lot of power out of a smaller area (it will need good head dissipation but that's doable), but you may only get it for a shorter life-span. Solar is complex.
Just because you don't want to doesn't mean you shouldn't.

The major advantage to outsourcing it is that the people you're handing the job over to actually know what they're doing and are experts at it. Plus they can spend 24 hours a day checking this stuff instead of you.

The arguments for being in-house on absolutely anything but your core competency when you're an early-stage startup are really hard to justify.
It's apt because it's a small mistake with potentially bad consequences that is just an inevitable result of the work.

Sadly, that's not how cognitive dissonance works. When people receive new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs they very rarely update their beliefs. Instead, they tend to either question the credibility of the new information or downplay its significance.
As someone who was raised in an intellectual atheist family, spent my younger years believing as such and has since converted to Christianity, I find the tone of this kind of "Anyone who believes in anything is stupid.....but I'm all inclusive and caring" rhetoric to be a contradiction in terms. I have personally only experienced it from people who have been wounded by Christians in some way. I think that sucks and I am sorry that there are so many people wounded by Christianity. Yet, that doesn't make Christianity untrue, it just means some of its adherents are jerks (like any other belief system).

As Mahatma Ghandi said; "I like your Christ but I do not like your Christians, your Christians are so unlike Christ". Look at the person and work of Jesus if you want to know about Christianity, not us broken individuals who attempt to follow him.

On another note, the argument that you know the method therefore the agency doesn't exist has always seemed illogical to me. I know how Toyota puts its cars together, that doesn't mean that Toyota doesn't exist.

We have different beliefs and I'm not here to argue, just presenting a different point of view. You have the right to say what you say and believe what you believe, I will even defends those rights for you. I just hope that you will be willing to do the same for me.
This is going to sound silly but here's my thing: the Band is built around receiving notifications, that means that even if you disable them, you'll still see text message icons, emails, etc. even if you can't use them.

I want to look at my watch and see "hey, you've walked 30,000 steps today", not "you know, you can check all this crap on here!".

It's the concept, and it's also that mental reminder that you MAY have notifications. I hope that makes sense!
Moving Past the Password, but at What Cost?: All Tech Considered
Pregnancy at 41 is generally high-risk. So you have lots of doctor's appointments, often lots of discomfort and you probably end up with mandated (and necessary) bed rest.

Being single while dealing with that is an enormous burden mentally and physically.

I didn't notice it referenced in the story, but it is definitely a factor that would influence a person's behavior that would be relevant, especially in a startup context when everyone is wearing 10 hats.

Choosing your tech stack with care is one of the more important choices. You're locking yourself in for years to come and mistakes can be very costly to fix.

No you didn't. Just that your future risk was finally accurately priced into your premiums (whereas before you would likely have just been dropped if something drastic happened).
That's so generic - "basic CRUD(website)". It's ridiculous. You're a UI developer, of course you're going to design a UI for CRUD functionality in the next five years.

My problem with NDAs is that even if the company decides to pivot and abandon the "idea" altogether, you are still bound by the NDA for that time frame. It restricts creativity. Shows a lack of trust. Etc. In my experience, those who have the worst ideas, who have no understanding of what it takes to execute said idea, are generally the ones who shove an NDA in my face before I even say, "Hello."

World-Citizenship
The Vice headline does not accurately reflect the article. The hypothesis is that interaction between parallel worlds could lead to the observed behavior we currently describe using quantum mechanics.
> If you'll notice, gluons "hang on" to the rest of the particles by merely one interaction. If this interaction was not present, as far as positivists are concerned, then gluons don't exist. But that seems entirely unreasonable to me. I could imagine plenty of particles that could "exist" that simply don't have an interaction with the ones in the standard model that constitute our reality.

A problem is that when we use concepts to describe new concepts, lots of little assumptions tag along each referenced concept that may be different to every person. So, when I explain a concept, many people may understand my concept differently, while some may understand my concept precisely.

There is a difference between 'what could exist' versus 'what is assumed to exist'. When we communicate, we have to be very careful about the definitions of terms and their context.

I say "tree", we both may think of a tree in our minds. Your tree may come with assumption that the tree must have leaves in order to be a tree. My tree may come with the assumption that a tree does not need to have leaves, in order to be a tree. Neither of us may touch upon this point, while we are busy communicating about trees, and I think that is what is most important to recognize.

The rest of what you say though, did click for me, so thank you.
The article calls it a "cult website". I can't stand the place personally. They want to be mainstream so bad , they call themselves the front page of the internet.

The challenge is that solid modeling programs are very difficult to learn and they're expensive proprietary software. I've used one and half the class didn't "get it".

We need cruder sculpting tools for mass market use - some folks need Illustrator, some folks need Paint.NET. Obviously the latter problem is easier to solve and I'm hoping we'll see more democratization of 3D printing through more tools at that end.

I've always hoped to see Wings3D get more love in this field, but Wings is written in Erlang so that restricts how many developers can meaningfully contribute. Wings is polygonal, but it's a subdivision modeler so it means that all the models are inherently volumetric which makes it appropriate for printing - no possibility of an "open" object.
There are many parallel observers, not universes, colliding with each other.)
I understand that, which is why I didn't just ignore the guy and stand him up for our call. What I mean about "increasing hostility" is that that gap between what is asked for and what is decent seems to be growing. 10 years ago, I didn't have to sign an NDA just to get an interview, and the non-compete when I actually took a job had a 50 mile radius and was only a year long. Nowadays, people want a five year commitment just to talk?
What microframeworks do you suggest?
Replacing Dropbox with BitTorrent Sync
I've been interested in the two approaches to mapping out cities and larger places. Google, for example, has StreetView cars, building a point cloud and texture map of parts of the world.

In video games like GTA, LA Noire and Watch Dogs real cities are mapped out using a sort of "conceptual compression" that leaves landmarks but somehow brings the space closer together. My sense is that this is a labor intensive process, but what if it could be automated?

It would be interesting way to explore a place, though with the obvious pitfall that what's not included in the map "doesn't exist".
Gazelle [1], because I upgrade every 2 years, and they pay me enough for a 2 year old iPhone to cover almost 90% of the cost to upgrade.

Sure Gazelle likely turns around and sells it for 1.5-2.0x what they pay me, but they're very fast, reliable, they send real bank checks for the full amount rather than AT&T or Amazon store cards or prepaid debit cards, I don't have to deal with anyone else (individual buyers on Amazon marketplace or eBay, or worse: locally), and most importantly I don't have to spend more than a few minutes on the whole thing, which is more valuable to me than the minor additional money I could get selling it myself.

The author does not even mention evil mode.

As a long-time vim user, evil mode is the only thing that makes emacs bearable for me. Even then, it's not enough, and I find myself spending a ton of time rebinding emacs key bindings to make them more vim-like.

Switching from vim to emacs, while making emacs as vim-like as possible and customizing it to take advantage of all the things it can do will require a HUGE time commitment. If you've got the time to burn, then great.. go for it! If not, you might want to stick with vim, or resign yourself to using emacs in an emacs-like fashion, with the thin veneer of vim that evil mode provides.

You could send me your resume and a cover letter. This would be impressive, because very few people manage to do this according to my rigorous demands (plain text or PDF, tell me a story about an interesting technical problem you solved).

Or, if you knew someone at the company, you could talk to them and have them talk to me. I will generally trust their opinion enough to set aside time for coffee with you.

I'm not sure this gets you where you want to go but...

You can find common ground between the statement you quoted if you want to take solipsism as your definition of "consciousness." IE, experiencing your own existence is consciousness, or is the test for it.

That isn't necessarily a bad definition. I quite like it.

What I've never liked is this CS Philosophical debate. It devolves into semantics so often it makes me suspect that's most of what it is. We define consciousness in terms of what it does, in which ace we may discover multiple solutions. Or, we can define it in terms of how it does it, in which case we'll have to wait until it's discovered before we can see what it does. Either way, the word consciousness is not useful enough to merit all this trouble it causes.

Contemplating its own undeniable here-ness, that's the kind of spiritualism that separates bloodbags from greaseballs, for now.
