I've followed rust for a couple years, never done anything major with it.

It doesn't have coroutines, but they might be possible to implement using a macro that expands to an iterator implementation. It also has go-like channels and can be used with both N:M (green) threads and os-native 1:1 threads. It handles streams of data quite well.

All variables and references in Rust are immutable by default and accessing global mutable state can only be done in explicitly marked unsafe code. I think that all functions that have no "mut" or "unsafe" in their signature are pure unless they use an "unsafe" block. Exposing unsafe behavior in a safe interface is a contract violation and considered a bug.

There's no built in laziness, but because Rust allows for overloading the pointer dereference operator, it should be possible to implement thunks in a syntactically transparent way.

Rust has a full macro system. There are AST-based macros for when you need a serious amount of power, but most macros are implemented on a partially structured token stream and are implemented a lot like scheme's syntax-case. It's a lot cleaner than metaprogramming in dynamic languages like python and ruby IMO, and it has no runtime overhead.

Introspection? No, but I think doing something about that is on the post-1.0 roadmap.

Garbage collection. A reference-counted pointer like C++11's shared_ptr is available in the standard library. Its use is discouraged, though, in favor of structuring your code to work with Rust's lifetime system and borrow checker. Doing that, your memory is managed in a safe way with no runtime overhead, you don't have to worry about reference cycles, and the structure it enforces in your code tends to be easier to follow (although often harder to come up with).

Rust isn't really meant to be used in place of Scala, it's more of a "competitor" to C++. It keeps C++'s promise of "don't pay for what you don't use" and strongly favors 0-cost abstractions. It differentiates itself from C++ by using more modern abstractions and garaunteeing safety.

You missed my point.

I was questioning the validity of the arguments the parent commenter presented against Prop E.

Those are not arguments against the proposition based on its merits. They are arguments based on lack of universal implementation.

It doesn't matter how you feel about the actual proposition. I was claiming that the presented arguments were not convincing.
Someone somewhere in the huge machinery that is the Indian Government clearly has a sense of humor. To quote,

All queries or comments related to the “Policy on Open APIs for Government of India” shall be directed to the Joint Secretary (e-Governance), DeitY at jsegov@deity.gov.in (emphasis mine).

Presumably that is the email address to send feedback to.
Apparently Samsung's leaving the non-Chromebook laptop market worldwide in 2015. My ATIV Book 9 Plus has been awesome (besides the horrible bundled drivers and software) but I'm not sure what I could happily replace it with at this point besides a Surface Pro.

You may want to look into the PI variant of ADHD (primarily inattentive.) It's the "daydreamer" type, but you aren't hyperactive. See more details at http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivi...

It isn't unusual to have generalized anxiety or a specific anxiety disorder in addition to ADHD.

Definitely see a psychiatrist to get an official diagnosis--it will help you feel better just knowing what you have. Also, I'd recommend seeing a doctor and getting a physical done too. You may have something physical that is causing the anxiety.

I have both ADHD and anxiety. I went to a psychiatrist and got an ADHD diagnosis. In addition, blood tests plus followup tests done by my doctor showed Graves' disease--a thyroid autoimmune disorder that causes anxiety.

Having both of these diagnosed and seeking treatment has provided me with a lot of relief. I strongly recommend you do the same.
That exact kind of search (and more!) has been supported on the major private bittorrent trackers for years. They also have the benefit of offering all the movies with a single click.
Hehe, launching something new you made is hard/takes persistence. Hope I'm not being annoying; seemed to be appropriate here and the other time I mentioned it in a comment on HN.

Sorry to hear that. There actually is a tutorial/guide referenced a bit lower on the page but not many people seem to see it, may need to emphasize it more!

Maybe try the basic word maker to make words starting with 'arb,' 'orb' or 'mar'? I've found the words those generate are fairly nice as an idea for what it can do. Also maybe try shorter words?

Dunno. To be honest, having used the other name generation tools, this is the one I'd use to get a new domain name and a good amount of people have found names they like through Namebird (someone put in starts with 'pay' and got paydrow for instance and I used it to name itself too :P).
This is really great, but it would be amazing if it had Netflix and Amazon streaming availability filters.

I'm amazed that buyers will trust anonymous online drug dealers with their address.

Isn't that what happens?
Quite easily. I almost did quite recently as 'mackeeper' was offered with sf.net's 'installer' for Filezilla.

It's almost impressive, in a sad sad way. They've pretty much cornered the market on mac malware. Unfortunately they are the malware, not the solution.
I want a service that i tell the movies i had seen and liked, and based on these tells me what i might be interested in
But you didn't provide the "why" part. And he wasn't being saucy at first. He only did that after you didn't say why you disagreed.
Good work, one thing I'll note is that the page was very slow to load on my phone, it look around 40 seconds?
Don't worry - atleast in Europe, Samsung got out of the laptop business, except for models with their own ARM or x86 clone hardware

Advertisers have all too often proved that they are not interested in the privacy or security of their audience.

Even the 'acceptable' adverts (plain text ad's) can end up linking to pretty some dodgy software.

Not so long ago I stupidly hit the download button on an advert instead of for the software I actually wanted. I ended up blindly installing some sketchy application. OK this is my own fault, I should be savvy enough to spot this. I imagine that this trick hooks the generally population on a regular basis.

Another modern classic I see is content with numbered pages, where the user must click next to continue reading, and adverts that look like large next buttons.

It's unfortunate that this is the case and I don't know what the solution is that will allow companies to have a decent revenue stream whilst protecting their users.

Adblock detection is pretty effective so blocking users is one option.

Maybe if an advertiser started to produce higher quality results then they'd gain some trust. Too many bad eggs currently, and no incentive for me to participate.
I totally provided "why." The public domain has nothing to do with open source. Copyright doesn't apply to brand use. Dude didn't research but hopped right up on that soap box, and judging from the upvotes, I wasn't the only one to be put off by it.

On the other hand, all of those features tend to result in machines that stretch the definition of laptop and usually land themselves into what used to be called "luggables". Even Apple's 17" MacBook Pro was 6.6 pounds and 15.5 inches wide, and if you triple the TDP of the GPU, double the number of memory slots, and increase the battery and cooling proportionately you've got something that can only be transported with special purpose luggage.
> How many times to you think companies would pay to run a connection to a house? After the first, or maybe even the second time, does the financial payback for laying additional redundant physical lines make sense?

I think that depends on the current market. If there's room to make money in the long run by either offering better service or cheaper service, then I think companies will take the plunge and run the cables. In my area, we had DSL over phone lines and cable internet over coax for years. That didn't stop Verizon from laying all new fiber to nearly every house in the area. They smelled profit in doubling existing internet speeds in my area. What did nearly stop them was intense lobbying by the existing players to deny them access to run cable.

What bothers me is that it required huge lobbying muscles to get through the red tape. What about all the other less politically connected companies with innovative ideas that could revolutionize our connectivity in ways most people have never considered? That's the beauty of the Internet. Got a great idea for a new web service? There's no government wheels to grease, no need to lobby the FCC for broadcasting permission. You just do it and let the consumer decide your fate.
Yes, this piece is bought. It reads like a classic advertorial for Uber (with a subtle attack against Lyft).

Read it again and you'll see it.
There's already such thing as "pcast://" links, which are recognized by most podcasting clients. It also doesn't get any easier than just offering the naked RSS feed. Any kind of obfuscation around that just makes things more painful for users.

I have yet to see a company that gets 3M€ for what could be done with 10k€ and writing a FAQ where they state they are overpaid ;)

To me this is very questionable marketing non-sense. You take the excellent bicycling culture of the Netherlands, you combine it with solar energy and the result is profit.

Just exchange Wcycling track" with "landfill" and tell everybody you'd cover them for 300 times the normal price with solar panels and you'd be kicked in the balls.
This is probably to late for your use, but there is a neat Mac utility called iExplorer that lets you browse your iDevice's filesystem and copy files off of it. I'm pretty sure you could have grabbed the files using a trial of iExplorer.
I'm reading Schild's Ladder atm, wherein the fictional Quantum Graph Theory plays a large role. This is the first paragraph:

In the beginning was a graph, more like diamond than graphite. Every node in this graph was tetravalent: connected by four edges to four other nodes. By a count of edges, the shortest path from any node back to itself was a loop six edges long. Every node belonged to twenty-four such loops, as well as forty-eight loops eight edges long, and four hundred and eighty that were ten edges long. The edges had no length or shape, the nodes no position; the graph consisted only of the fact that some nodes were connected to others. This pattern of connections, repeated endlessly, was all there was.
Yes, this is how it works.

As a reporter who receives these kind of emails from PR flacks all day, I can say that it is as simple and stupid as this in most cases. I can't say with 100% certainty that no one ever just pays a reporter to write PR bullshit but most of the time it's gross laziness.
Long ago I concluded that in tools,
ease of use was tools that were
reliable, did fairly simple things,
and were easy to understand how to
use and not tools that tried to do
a lot, do favors, anticipate what I wanted,
and do more for (to!) me!

So, in a kitchen, I don't want a hot dog
cooker and, instead, can, depending on
what I want, just use a pot and with
water and boil the hotdogs, use a skillet
with some oil and fry the hot dogs, or
go on the back porch, build a charcoal
fire, and broil the hotdogs. Besides, for
a hotdog cooker, how to clean the darned
thing! And have to get it out of storage,
set it up, etc. No thanks.

For cutting onions, use my best three tools
in a kitchen, a good French chef's knife,
a cutting board, and my hands. Works great
also for potatoes, carrots, cabbage, garlic,
and much more.

In a shop, have saws, hammers, files, wrenches,
screwdrivers, a drill plate, drill bits,
a nice, variables speed, reversible 3/8"
electric (not battery powered -- don't want
to mud wrestle with batteries that run down,
need charging, go dead, wear out, get weak, need to
be replaced, etc.) drill. Also
socket wrenches, etc. But lots of automatic
tools, e.g., a screwdriver that has a spiral
shaft that push on to turn a screw, don't want.

To sharpen a kitchen knife? Sure, just use
whatever grit size sand paper, usually
silicon carbide, want, put the paper flat
on the cutting board, and sharpen away.

Simple tools, that do simple things, and are
reliable and easy to understand. Then, build
more on those.

So, just use TCP/IP raw sockets and build more
on those.

For a session state server, use TCP/IP raw sockets,
de/serialization, and two collection classes.
Piece of cake, no use of CONFIG whatever, no
use of XML, only a few pages of documentation,
lots of good, old code samples, rock solidly
reliable ("TCP/IP sockets are the workhorse of
all of the Web and Internet")
etc. By far the
easy way.
Didn't they have cabs in LA before Uber came along? I smell some hyperbole in that story.
> valuing rock solid reliability and efficiency

Get someone that knows one of these systems well. It really does not matter that much. You can do almost everything with every system.

The more important task is to design your website stack in a way that it works reliable.
>It's made a positive difference on my life. //

Because you're now under a regime of medication, or ...?
Data already exists, and you can model against it. Apparently you didn't read the study I linked to:

> The study, published online in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, found that a half-cent per ounce increase in sugar-sweetened beverage prices, which adds up to about ten cents on a typical 20-ounce bottle of soda, could reduce total calories from the 23 foods and beverages examined under the study.

> However, researchers found, the reduction in sugary beverages due to a soda tax would likely lead consumers to substitute for those beverage calories by increasing their calorie, salt and fat intake from untaxed foods and beverages.

> “Instituting a sugary beverage tax may be an appealing public policy option to curb obesity, but it’s not as easy to use taxes to curb obesity as it is with smoking,” said Chen Zhen, Ph.D., a research economist at RTI, and the paper’s lead author. “Consumers can simply substitute an untaxed high calorie food for a taxed one. And as we know, reducing calories is just one of many ways to promoting healthy eating and reducing nutrition-related chronic disease.”

Other studies[1] have come to similar conclusions, and note that much of the research predicting significant reductions in obesity are flawed because they failed to look at substitution.

If you are genuinely interested in implementing a tax ("experiment") that actually has a chance of producing the intended outcome irrespective of cost, the first study suggested that instead of taxing based on ounces, a tax based on calories would address some of the fundamental flaws in ounce-based taxes like those proposed in Prop E.

Then those people probably don't want to pay for spotify. I didn't mean to imply that spotify is automatically a good deal for everyone, obviously it isn't, but I think it's plausibly a good deal for a lot of people.

> but it certainly isn't cheap

I'll admit, I was speaking more from the perspective of listening to a lot of music. For instance, the combined purchase value of all the albums in my spotify playlists far exceeds the total amount I ever spent on spotify, though I haven't used it for a while. I'm sure there are many people for whom this is true, even if they aren't a large proportion of the whole population.

In general you're right of course, 'cheap' is a matter of perspective. Spotify is not cheap for everyone, but it is potentially cheap for plenty of people. I still don't see the problem with this.
I've been a Linux user for as long as I remember, and most of that has been on a Thinkpad.

However I've just joined CloudFlare and they asked the simple question of whether I wanted a Lenovo or something Apple.

Having looked, I cannot think of a reason I should carry on with Thinkpads. They're just not what they used to be with trackpads which are unsatisfying, battery life that isn't as long as the Apples, non-Retina displays, and so on.

I chose a MacBook Pro, my first ever Apple computer. I picked it up on Friday, and I'm blown away. It's just awesome in every way.

If I can get used to the weird and subtle ways that the keyboard shortcuts and keyboard layout is different I may even be a permanent convert.
You didn't say that in the reply that he responded to.

"You are welcome to reject him for the job(you can do so at the resume screening state, especially if they don't have the relevant skills and experience) but I think it would be useful to remember that the other person is a human, likely disadvantaged, and express some human empathy."

It is hard to do both when so many of the candidates in question are lying on their resume, lying during the interview, and they are lying to themselves about whether or not they are qualified for the job. Oh, and their recruiter was lying to since before you met them.

You are exhorting greater empathy from one side, while ignoring the entire lack of empathy from the other. Whenever I've seen people do this, it has usually been because they were fostering in-group biases they wouldn't admit to.
Actually, wrong can be an adverb just like quick in 'real quick.' See: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wrong
Of course, you can install Windows on it but then you lose many of the advantages of using a Mac -- for example, trackpad precision and overall energy efficiency. So if the laptop is going to be used for gaming, then it does not make sense to buy a Mac and install Windows on it. (I've got a rMBP, and I'm using Windows on it most of the time because I don't like OSX and I can't replace the laptop at the moment, but I am very much aware of the disadvantages of this setup.)
In that sense, yes. It seems to be used (and I initially read your comment in this way) in a negative/shaming manner too often, in the "you can theoretically walk so why are you using crutches" sense. There's always degrees of control, right? Everyone with ADHD can live without it, but for more serious cases the quality of life would suffer so much that it's a question if it's worth living without it. That's my grudge - mine is so bad and sucks up so much of me that I can't imagine getting to a point without meds. Then again I know that's a barrier in itself - it's hard to imagine having no end date for taking meds and coming to grips with the idea that some part of you is deficient.

It's also kind of funny to me to think of "why need an unnecessary crutch" for everything else because society loves doing it so much for psychiatric disorders but not much else. I got the same reaction from some people over taking antidepressants (my parents gave in then, because yay suicidal ideation). I think it's harder to understand and empathize with something that's often invisible or an extension of something that affects everyone. My rambly HN comments and commit messages with the 5 minute timer for hyperfocus that you don't see looks totally different from me looking pale and coughing a lot.

re: pregnancy: stimulants are considered iffy, hence why you also can't drink much caffeine - premature births, withdrawal (!), birth defects, and the like. My obgyn, my psychiatrist, and my PCP also like to err on the side of taking as little as possible - I'm also off TCAs for nerve pain, and had to switch nasal sprays and to lower potency topical steroids for dermatitis - so nobody will write me a prescription. So I can't even take Intuniv (non-stimulant, taken at night due to drowsiness, maybe an option for you? meant for children but my adult ADHD-specializing psychiatrist really likes it for adults), not just the Vyvanse I used with it. Meanwhile, the possibility of a fetus exposed to insufficient oxygen for even a moment is so terrifying to them that they're willing to put me on _more_ meds if I'm one of those women that get worse during pregnancy. After I just stepped down due to better control too, dammit. I'm also expressly forbidden from skirting around exercise, one of my biggest avoidable triggers. Risk management is funny.

Thanks though :D and best of luck to you too with your life in general. I planned months in advance to set up maximal coping mechanisms and read a gazillion ADHD help books in preparation for this. If you can cope okay even if not by choice I am super jealous. I'm having a mini breakdown every day. And of course I went over my timer for this comment. I feel like I can scroll the comments on this story and tell who has ADHD depending on how long their comment is. :P
No no not annoying at all! If anything I'm annoyed (extremely mildly, mind) at myself because I'm not managing to get it :)

It looks like a really good tool if (and I'm assuming it does for others) it works nicely, I'm just missing that moment of 'click' right now where I grasp how it works. Going by what you've said I think I was more using it as "here's a word, do more with it please website robot" - I'll have another play! :)
