Why discriminate against a Russian company over something that may or may not happen?

Russia has elections and they have laws which affect businesses based there - pretty much like every other country out there.

As the article states, Google is moving its engineers but the sales team is staying, so this reorganization is less to do with politics and more to do with Google centralizing its engineers in Zurich - just like MountainView.
I don't get it.Isn't Microsoft accepting Bitcoins pretty much *bad* for Bitcoin?
I think his point is that you can't get everything you want, when, where and exactly how you want for free legally. It isn't up to you since you aren't the content creator. It is funny watching the entitlement of people now who believe they can some how demand all of the above.
Yes, and some are making the argument that the remaining funds in the disposal account be used to fund this as it is a much more credible disposal solution than Yucca Mountain was. And it should help pay for itself with "free" power.

>Compare that to the amount of electricity produced by the other main non-emitting sources of power, the so-called “renewables”—hydroelectric (6.8 percent), wind (4.2 percent) and solar (about one quarter of a percent). Not only are nuclear plants the most important of the non-emitting sources, but they provide baseload—“always there”—power, while most renewables can produce electricity only intermittently, when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.

He neglected to mention that renewables are cheaper:

Of course, since the piece seems designed to promote nuclear subsidies of some kind, this isn't entirely surprising.
Oh no the US government wouldn't lie or fake anything to accomplish their task at hand.
Great to hear that folk are aware of this and that it's not considered a breaking change for a future release. Where is the best place to get updates on these kinds of features? I was following the github ticket until it closed and it wasn't clear where to go afterwards.
Meh. I agree with the gist of providing feedback on the goal, however... I've just completed a project with some designers that seemed more worried about how the site looked in their portfolios than the wishes of the client or the efficacy of the interface.

It would be one thing if they could demonstrate/substantiate their decisions with statistics (A/B tests) or research, but they had no such inclination. It was terribly disappointing to see how far they would go to defended choices and design inconsistencies.

They fought nearly every change, until the client made it clear that they knew what they wanted, knew why they wanted it, and to just get it done (they were paid for revisions).
As a designer, you should be able to state the why & what of your design. Your task (also) consists of educating and convincing the client.

There are too many (self-perceived) artists, and it seems too few with user interface/interaction experience.

Even worse are the ones who design something but have no clue about the limitations of the technology (an example: enticing a client with special fonts that are not available as web fonts, then suggesting that the site be created as a series of images, please bro... hand back your diploma, you fail)
> I dunno where he got that idea from in the first place.

You really started posting on this comment thread without reading the title of the article?
Sorry to be confusing and/or confused. Map access in Go returns value, boolean where the boolean indicates if the key existed in the map. This is in contrast to most functions which can fail with a generic "error" value. So, for errors, nil means no errors. For map access, false means it didn't exist in the map.

About your original point about someone returning "the wrong thing" in an error... there's really no misunderstanding possible. Because Go is statically typed, the ONLY things you can return for an error are nil (no error), or something that fulfills the error interface (a type with a method Error() that returns a string). You can't return false, or 0, or "" when the code expects you to return an error... the compiler won't let you.

This is how all error handling works in Go. From the most basic program you write, you learn that err == nil means success, anything else means failure.

Does that help any?
That is one, very, very tiny aspect of the C preprocessor.

And https://github.com/SirCmpwn/rust-poc/blob/master/includes.rs... is significant: the code included from another file is under a namespace, and isn't going to clash like randomly throwing #includes around will, and you don't need to worry about things like double inclusion...

In other words, I think this is a very superficial comparison, and I'm not even sure why it upsets you so. Rust won't be a perfect language for everyone, and that's okay.
I really wish somebody would invent a torrent/magnet service distributed on a blockchain.
I know Korean guy who has a PhD in Biology and believes in fan death. The minds ability to delude itself is amazing.
"Their" is referring whom exactly? I don't think Russia is a Common Law country, judges there cannot derive something from a law so whomever you think is interpreting the law. Were not media saying that gay athletes in Sochi are going to be incarcerated using the same logic?
it looks like a breaking change, say if you change the return type of `fn iter()` on a slice.
thanks for your hard work. Sometimes we take simplicity for granted!
> Can you cite a source? If it was on IRC, I'm willing to sift through logs to find it for you if you give me your IRC nick.

> What stories are those? We have our fair share of people who like to spread FUD, so I'm curious which one you ran into. :)

I'm not really willing to name people who criticised Rust's project management here.
And of course the vast majority of the world would consider someone with student loan debt to belong to a "priviledged class".
That might be true today (I no longer have linux desktops, so I have no idea), but it took years of buggy (or extremely hard to configure) releases to reach that point.
Language changes are proposed through our RFC process, which is at this repository: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs

Open issues start a discussion, and then morph to a more formal proposal.
It will give us information. Right now we have very little idea about abiogenesis. We don't know if it happens often or rarely. We haven't been able to do this in labs.

If there is life on Europa, life is probably everywhere in the universe. If not, it means life will be hard to find. It also means that we are very rare and unique and need to work hard to preserve the earth and what we have.
Well, you could move the mod { } to the included file to accomplish the same result (like the `namespace` keyword in C#), but that'd break the example I'm trying to give. I don't really want to rehash this argument on Hacker News, I'm just providing context. There are numerous flaws in the module system that derive from this basic point.

SOPA was the Stop Online Piracy Act and had nothing to do with intelligence agencies collecting and storing data. The objections to SOPA were centered around the impact it would have on global DNS resolution.

This is not Reddit. I don't think we should sink to posts with grossly inaccurate titles that link to a JPG instead of to the actual bill text itself, or at least a piece of writing covering or analyzing it.
Your country was of enormous help to Hitler while attacking the USSR, and the retribution you had to "endure", given everything you did, was astonishingly mild. So spare me your complaints.

I'm not really a C guy, but isn't #include about using a module in the current scope? Because Rust's mod is for project structure definition.
I've been thinking about this. Let's say we have a small html file, which loads the javascript torrent library. You keep this file on your desktop (and give it to friends), maybe even bookmark it to make it easier to open.

The javascript fires off, accesses a torrent (hard-coded into the html itself), which loads content for the website... images, js files, everything. It also loads the data (I'm assuming it's small, but I've read claims that the data is only about 90 megs) into javascript storage, ready to be searched locally.

The torrent swarm itself could become so big that it'd be self-sustaining, no original seeders would need to stay online vulnerable to legal threats.

To have the torrent continually update with new content, you'd have to break the protocol (which, for this one purpose, might not be bad). But I don't understand it well enough to know this is even possible for certain. With magnet links, you first have to download the whole torrent file before you can start downloading, and it may not be possible to coax it into get the updated torrent file again.

Even if you can't do that, updates themselves might just be new torrents... we can run javascript on this page, so we can be clever and have it derive new torrents/hashes to download. It would be good if anyone could update the data, for instance, adding torrents (though how to police that so they don't add junk or poison the thing... not sure).
I use Picturelife (https://picturelife.com/home) for photo backups. They have a "Here's what you were doing one year ago today" email feature that is fun. Mainly just used to get photos off-device and off-site.
Inspiration comes in fits and spurts. The main cause of that is because ideas happen when different hunches or problems I have meet interesting opportunities or enabling circumstances. When that happens I get an idea and I work on it.

I find ways to maximize my exposure to new ideas. I read novels, poetry, and plays. I read humanities-focused introductions to new areas of maths that I haven't yet explored or histories on the maths-related discoveries that I had no previous exposure to. I then dig in deeper to subject matter that I find interesting or am curious about... or are fundamental. I play quite a lot and make one-off programs that have no function or purpose; often inspired by phenomenon I've read about. I keep journals of my explorations so that I can recount the threads that led me to particular ways of thinking and see where I am missing out: I then seek out the gaps. I meet new people in different fields and have no shame interrogating them about their ideas, passions, and inspirations. Sometimes you just need to stand on a desk.

Update: I have the advantage, now, that most of the CS fundamentals have been burned into my brain and I have a lot of experience writing software... it's almost reflexive now.
I don't know the proportions at all, didn't mean to imply the majority were.

However, it is a trend that there are a lot more people becoming independant and making their money online via various ways (not all of which are startups, most of which are probably what would be called "lifestyle businesses" here, though I hate that term) and thus not counted on the "employment rolls".
Considering how longs its been down for, it is much more likely that they found the actual backends this time.

It shouldn't take this long to get a new load balancer up.
The social and financial benefits of stopping the drug war is not limited to libertarians. I am a socialist and believe it to be a misguided and deeply destructive set of policies that have done far more harm than good.
I think you are right, but I think they are wrong for doing it given the importance of the military in a lot of regions and the military being a known career path for many young males.
That's not updating the content of a torrent, that's updating a torrent file given a URL and a signature. It's not even BitTorrent, more like embedded RSS. Doesn't really help us out here.
I'd think this specific remark was to discourage those who want to start a startup because it's cool. And those who really want to do it they are going to do it anyway. No matter what anyone says.

So, I guess, this advice works for everyone, in one way or another.

Spain is able to build railroads and subways for only 1/10 as much as in the US. France for 1/5. Neither of those are low-wage countries.

I'm older than you. Have done this before, spent 6 years "unemployed" traveling the world before I "got a job" that turned out to be a terrible decision.

Of course you don't have control over your destiny to the point of just wishing you had a million bucks... but I also now don't have a psychotic boss whose only experience has been in the military micromanaging software development and doing everything he can to "control" things without any understanding of software development.
It's not about picking winners. It is about giving students at least one practical skill early on, then letting them choose what they want to do.

I am a programmer, but I can also weld and fix cars. This is because in high school I took some auto shop classes. Let's say for some odd reason programming doesn't work out anymore as a career(this is happening to lawyers and pharmacists), I have something to fall back on.
We'ere using KnockoutJS, not Angular in our app, and it suffers from the same issues. On certain components, especially when applying complex rendering logic, that need to be optimized, like our DataGrids, we've been moving towards a React-based rending flow (might eventually do it serverside). The React version is about 8x faster than our Knockout implementation.
It's not entirely implausible that authorities might attack the certificate provider. It's a single point of failure... the MPAA decides to fuck with it, gets them shut down, and suddenly no one can filter comments anymore?

It's both. It'd be just blackmail if I did it to you. If I were a cop, it's additionally entrapment.
From the discussion, it sounded like you wanted Rust to copy C's compilation model with objects per file, but no reason why apart from mimicing C.
The battle is quite a bit broader than that - this is the battle of people that are just now figuring out the full implications of "Turing Complete", and how no, you cannot make an "applicance" that runs all the useful software but none of the software that you find distasteful.

In case anybody hasn't seen Doctorow's amazing talks on this subject, well... you should. He gets right to the heart of what will be the biggest "disruption" in social structures since the industrial revolution.

His first talk that he gave at 28C3, "The Coming War on General Computation"[1], received a lot of press, but the 2nd talk given about a year later at DEFCON 20, "Beyond the War on General Purpose Computing: What's Inside the Box?"[2], didn't seem to get as much notoriety. This is really unfortunate, because the 2nd talk is far more important: it extends the problem into a lot of other areas of "normal life". DRM in movies is generally only "annoying". DRM in some medical device you rely on is a very different situation.

This suggests that we need to start winning against stuff like DRM and the MPAA trying to censor websites. While movies are really not that important, setting precedent is important, or it will be a lot harder to fight the real problems later on.

That is a very poor line of reasoning. One thing being untrue does not prove/disprove a larger point.

This is unfortunately a very common way of thinking in the US, and completely backwards.

In this case, all you would have to do is speak with someone from South Korea to find out about this, and it turns out, some do believe it - I found out about this phenomena from a friend from Korea, and she believed it to be true even though she knew the science behind it was bunk.

On Fan Death, the media bought it all up and publicized it on TV, naturally most South Koreans believe it. They are super conscious about anything related to health (even though smoking and binge drinking is quite common here).

If I have a cold, my wife (Korean) will tell me to go to the hospital. I grew up with not taking medicine unless it's absolutely necessary.

Back on topic, It's more of a culturally thing. I wouldn't bother trying to explain to people that it's not real, focus on feeling amused about the cultural difference.

Likwise, I'm from Australia, in my hometown (small beach town), I could walk to the local convenience store wearing no footware, no tshirt - just boxer shorts. To Korean people, they'd think I'm insane..... Just trying to highlight the differences in culture; seeing the humorous side of things is often better than trying to persuade someone they're wrong.

Large should be at least 80k lines of code, preferably more than 100k.

Another metric I go by is there is no one on team have overlapping knowledge of the code base. In other words, no other teammate is suited to review your code because they have no context of it.
in the pre napster days of anonymous FTP servers and IRC the "compliant sheep" were unaware of the existence of MP3s and all the great tech run by the independent minded.

And it's not just disability benefits. When you stop and really analyze it; Medicaid and health insurance credits, SSI, food stamps, EITC, FICA, progressive income tax rates, refundable tax credits, phased-out tax deductions, even things like housing and energy assistance, etc.

There's easily $60,000 of services, utilities, fees, and taxes that you pay when earning $100k, that you get for free or don't have to pay if you earn $0. As @fredophile says, then you still have to add in the direct/indirect costs of going out and earning that money (e.g. childcare for starters), and you can easily gain net-zero or negative benefit all the way up to $100k of household income.

I'm sure people must have researched this extensively, and can give a properly cited cost analysis, but it's something I've been calling the 'middle class crucible'. Until you break out on the other side of $150k household income, the vast majority of your earned income is effectively running on a treadmill. E.g. On the order of 80 cents of each dollar you earn.

Every progressive (means-tested) social support program or tax rate, by definition, is a penalty for working. These programs have grown so big, and phase-out so aggressively in the income curve, it's an incredible trap / attack against the middle class.

Look, I've been to Russia, I know people there, and there is NO WAY you can compare the level of democracy and rule of law we have in western Europe or the US to what there is in Russia now. Lots of Russians were ready to exchange some of their freedom, and to accept a very high level of corruption, as long as their global living standards improved. But now Putin is violating that pact. We'll see what happens.
