Thanks, also for your comments on the other one. I wish I could make a qualified analysis of the code snippet, but I'm not up to it.

Adding -x / --one-file-system is all constructive suggestions I have regarding the command.
Many things! There are all these designs floating around in my mind that I can't build easily because I don't have a 3d printer.

Adjustable camera mounts for my computer vision projects...a tablet mount to hold my tablet at a particular angle while I'm lying down and reading... better supports for my old arthritic dog...cat toys...waterproof cases for my embedded projects and sensors...chassis for small robotic vehicles...

Doesn't this just mean the the language was "designed to be fast", but to be fast only in release mode, and not in debug mode as well?
The Lesson of “Don’t forget all the parts move”
while not mentioned in the article, it is remarkable that this phenomena is very strongly apparent in dreams, in particular in lucid dreams; an effective way to dramatically change a dream is to walk through a door or a mirror; for example, you are in a distressing situation in your remote village home, you walk out the door to find out you are suddenly in a bustling big city street, you turn around open the door again, and find out it is the door of a restaurant, the previous scene having completely disappeared.

I cannot help but say that this reminds me (an awful lot) of the Umbrella Corporation. Except for its involvement in bioengineering that is, but who knows what's yet to come.

The truth may yet turn out to not be that much stranger than fiction after all.
The marginal utility of money makes this argument pretty bogus, none of the investors are depending on this investment to "turn out" or they won't have money for rent or groceries.

I had this idea for a minimal life countdown which is positioned at the exit of your house (eg inside the front door) and shows you how many days left you have in your life each time you leave the house.

Reading this makes me wonder if a better place for it would be somewhere on the outside of your doorway... :)

The biggest limitation is probably that you can't use packages from the cargo ecosystem.

I haven't looked in detail but afaik it runs genuine rust binaries in a sandbox. You can investigate at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-playpen / https://github.com/thestinger/playpen if you feel like it. :P
In desktop browsers (and some mobile browsers), you can use filters.

On a mobile OS level, however, you cannot: There is probably not a single mobile app that does not connect to at least one ad, tracking etc. server. I hope that at least Apple will offer solutions on an OS level.
Are you talking about Debug mode or Release mode?

I don't know much about assembly, but in release mode it looks like you wind up with just some setup code (starting from the label "_ZN4main20h79637ebf645455fbeaaE") which is probably doing generic process-startup stuff, and thenthe actual body of main (starting from the label "main"). All the directives starting with a "." are meta-data directives, they're not actually instructions the CPU executes.

The Duke of Westminster owns a large chunk of Mayfair and Belgravia, and is the third richest man in the UK because of it. I do wonder whether he plays Monopoly, and if he starts with Mayfair...

The thing is that there is actually an awful lot of land, and in the UK it is very expensive - the capital cost to buy it all up would be enormous, and thanks to the market only get higher as supply reduces. You're then vulnerable to other market forces and competing with other cities or areas. Canary Wharf is a good example of the established rules being upended and a brand new corporate part of London being created.

The value of all London property is currently estimated in the £1.35tn range.
Cool!
One little thing is that you would expect that the is_anagram relation is a symmetrical one. I.e. that "neo" is an anagram of "one" then "one" is also an anagram of "neo", which doesn't seem to be the case with you system. Why is that?

WPF lives on as...WinRT. I mean, the APIs are 80% identical. WPF also has fairly decent support for touch, what WinRT did was improve performance a lot through a new architecture.

I personally still use WPF for all my development given its richer API. I'm not a big fan of XAML, but WPF has a good basic API for putting stuff on the screen and handling input in C# (disclosure: MS employee, but research).

I doubt that life-span would make much of a difference, and I would even suspect that overall, development would slow down with a longer life span even without aging of body and brain, as the 'caste of the old and powerful' will defend their old ways and suppress new radical ideas coming from the young, which will be in an even bigger minority then today. Just imagine what the world would look like if Stalin would still be alive, or if the government of East Germany wouldn't have entirely consisted of senile old fogeys, the iron curtain would very likely still be up.
That video on their frontpage is ridiculously difficult to watch. So much shaking.
I may just be not very bright but I've read both of those plus the coverage in the aforementioned book and I still regularly find myself banging my head against the borrow checker when writing code myself. I think at least part of the problem is the use of trivial examples.

I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other concepts used by the language except where they overlap with the borrow checker (e.g. destructuring a Box using).

Something not very important anymore. Do we want to stay blindly in love with those who can do things we cannot or should we try to make people able to learn how to learn ? it's a bit antisocial and un-binding but also the opposite.
So cultivate both your nice guy and jerk sides and use appropriately I guess.

Ad networks only store about 30-60 days of data. Beyond that it's not relevant and sometimes cookies have already been lost so it wont match up anyway. Either way, you're just a randomized ID number with some interest categories attached.

If you're worried about your entire history being used, I'd point to social networks like Facebook/Twitter/Google that have far more info, including personal details, and keep it permanently. If you are worried about privacy, read the ToS of those services very careful and either opt-out or delete your information because that's a whole different level to what most ad networks have.
That's a cat-and-mouse game, and the Firefox release cycle is bound to be much slower than any website interested in tracking users. The owners of the site can tweak the JS slightly, the FF devs have to get notified that the website stop working, go back to see what changed, and stage the necessary changes for the next update. And then wait for users to update, of course.

It's very impractical.

One thing I noticed while in Denmark was that lifestyles, even among the middle class, are relatively poor by American standards. Late model cars or no cars at all, one tv per house, small houses, mostly homecooked meals...

In a material ownership sense middle class Danes had less than many poor Americans. There was less of a focus on material wealth and a stronger focus on different forms of success instead - and of course the Danes didn't have to worry about college or healthcare.

It seems possible for a family making less than $25,000 a year to easily surpass the level of wealth of most Danes I met and maintain insurance and a college fund for a state level school (with two years of community college to offest later costs).

But in the United States the extreme focus on debt fueled spending (particularly on cars and houses) leads to not taking advantage of this. (Marketing is far more developed and everpresent in the United States than anywhere I've visited)

Plastination versus Cryonics
As a guideline you can expect anything that's off-topic (like a meta remark about it being a repost) to get at least a few downvotes. This is because when you post a new comment it'll (often) show up as the top comment, and someone will deem it not top-comment worthy and downvote it.

i.e.: sometimes a title is really wrong and a comment about it will get a bunch of upvotes, and then when the title is corrected the comment will actually get voted to the bottom because its no longer relevant or useful to the discussion.

That's quite a big inference you made from just a few words. Where am I proposing tracking without knowledge or consent?

The dichotomy is either you have generalized ads or they're targeted closely to you. What is false about this?
Wait, what? I thought XAML was dead. I have quite a bit of investment into Silverlight and did some WPF desktop apps years ago. I thought all that was a total waste of my time. It's not dead? This is...cautiously good news. I love XAML frankly. The data binding system with seamless C# code behind is glorious to work with.
So do I and we're very happy with WPF.
And you can fall foul of an enormous number of cognitive biases because you can also see things that simply aren't there.
What are the ways of hiring a developer quickly?
One of the ways could be involving the founder at the very first stage of screening/ interview! The buck stops at what stage does the founder stops getting involved in the earlier stages.
As a former academic who used to go through this game I learned that evalutions are inversely related to workload. Once I worked how hard I could push my students I would load up my student to the maximum level possible that would keep my evaluation just above the minimium I had to maintain.

The thing I always found hard to take was comments along the line that the whole course was worthless. I never cared if a student personally liked me or not, but to have a student tell you the subject was worthless made me feel like I totally failed - luckily I only ever got a few of these comments.
Because this would make too much sense.

You have barely used their hardware, but you believe it to be good hardware. Seems like effective ads to me. Have you actually used the device? Its kb is terrible and its touchpad is a joke. MS natives ads have dominated news feeds for the last few months. A/ws these points are meaningless. Just observing trends.
no, your false dichotomy was "either we track people or they complain about irrelevant ads".

Note the juxtaposition of imagined agency on part of the user, they supposedly complain a lot about it and want it changed right? So the solution is tracking!

Doesn't sound like it's about city planning. Nowadays you can simulate that quite well. No need to pluck down Billions.

City planning with real buildings just doesn't make sense. To iterate solutions you need to be able to change quickly, which doesn't work in this case.

But it says: "... research into applied, market-ready products by providing ‘end to end’ testing and evaluation of emerging technologies and innovations from the world’s public laboratories, universities, and the private sector"

So it seems it's more about testing of technologies inside an urban environment that cannot be tested in real cities (due to risk, exposure, secrecy ?).

Sure sounds a bit sinister if you read between the lines.

Okay so in the system I'm hypothesising, I pick a topic -- say content marketing. I go to Neil Patel's and KissMetrics blog and get all their articles on content marketing, and train this thingy with them.

I then buy, say, 1,000 domains. Doesn't matter what they are -- Or I buy 100 domains and setup 300 tumblr blogs, and 300 blogger blogs and 300 wordpress.com blogs.

Now I drip feed content to each of those blogs, but instead of linking to the articles on content marketing that kissmetrics and neil patel originally reference, I link to articles I have created instead.

How can Google tell the difference between a tonne of nobody bloggers link to Neil Patel's articles, and my bots linking to my articles? The fact is that if you blog on niche topics, with good article titles reflecting low competition long tail keywords, you'll get some traffic from Google pretty easily -- how can Google possible tell that links are coming from shitty bot generated pages versus from a tonne of obscure bloggers with virtually no audiences (of which there are thousands)?

The way they can tell the difference is Panda (or Penguin? I think it's Panda ... ) so as long as your pet robot can learn from Neil Patel and Kissmetrics well enough to produce content that cannot be penalised by Panda, and so long as you don't do it stupidly by like, having the same anchor text for all the articles and doing 1,000 articles overnight and actually phase it in so that it looks as though you're getting some reasonable organic spread, you'll be able to game Google's rankings pretty reliably for your real articles that you're trying to promote, and get higher volumes of traffic to those articles than you would be able to by just focusing on niche, long tail articles (for example because you'd be able to get on page #1 or in the top 5 for much higher volume keywords).

You would then get shares etc. for your actual content -- just because those "spam farms" don't have social shares or backlinks from PR6 blogs doesn't mean Google completely disregards them, just means that you need a lot more of them to make the same impact as lots of shares/backlinks from PR6 blogs.

This strategy is old, and was killed by Panda, but if you could beat Panda using a RNN then this would work again.
That would truly be a foolish argument to make. However the argument I am making is, is ad supported content is one of the few monetary schemes which allows you to produce a product that allows for poorer people to part of the audience.
I still can't believe they went that way on this one. If there is pre-task an employer requires you to do before they start your main tasks, then that pre-task is still a task and the employee should be paid for it. If you can't figure out how to make that pre-task more efficient, then that is your fault as an employer.

"But people may purposely do things to slow down the pre-task and make money doing their non-task."

Then fire them for being laggards or figure out what is wrong with your process.
It's a fairly common (but cool nonetheless) trick that often turns up in stats :)
If you mean companies such Yandex, Mail, ABBYY (but not Kaspersky, huh) or something like that - I agree. Winners of ACM will get "preferred treatment", definetely. This will not affect their salaries a lot, but that's true.

But you missed my point. I argue that ACM is something extremely prestigious and people practicies a lot in mass. This is not true. And companies such Yandex and Mail is not a some kind of great place to work.

But if I will interview a candidate and know he participated (not won) in ACM I will be much more interested in him.

But there's not so many such candidates, mm..? )

I observe that the ad industry will change (has changed) Firefox for the worse, and not that Firefox will change the ad industry for the better.

I do not want my browser to support the ad industry at all.
by IP address may be good enough per session and each session could be tied to per more persistent IDs in cooperation with the sites embedding the ads, e.g. via the javascript loading some parts of the ads. So even if you block cookies to the ad network's domain they could still store cookies on any site that embeds their JS directly.
What does that have to do with my post? (Other than the phrase "search engine")

Unless, DuckDuckGo plans on punishing websites that heavily use tracking cookies and/or they're a nonprofit that aims to advance the web they aren't actually relevant to what I was saying.
"Before Google the Internet was more useful" Wow, could not disagree more. It's order of magnitudes easier for me to find a good answer for virtually any question. Not to mention how much better gmail is than mail clients of old. Or google maps, my lord how it has simplified my life.

Google isn't solely responsible for this, but them and other ad-financed companies played a crucial part in building the web as we know it to day. And for me, and everyone I've ever met, the web is a lot more useful today than 15 year ago.
XAML was the main way to do the UI for Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps. Now admittedly nobody actually made any apps for those two platforms, but MS never stopped pushing XAML, it was just Silverlight and WPF they killed off (or ignored in the case of WPF).
>>Actually, coffee is under attack in many areas of the world. "Rust", a fungal blight that has been around for decades is picking up the pace in our warming world.

Umm, that's exactly what the article says?

"Lack of diversity in crops can have disastrous consequences - it makes them more susceptible to disease. And coffee has a foe - coffee leaf rust. The fungus wiped out Sri Lanka's coffee plantations entirely in the late 1800s, and there was a bad outbreak in 2013 in Central America. The coffee grown there had no resistance to the disease - the crop relied on the protection of low temperatures at higher altitudes."
One place where Python is pretty weakly typed is going the other way, where it accepts things like: true + true * 2 - false / true, even outside of if statements.

I've definitely been bitten by this before, accidentally passing in a book parameter instead of an int, and having some math work initially and then blow up months later.

Knuth argues against this kind of implicit bool to integer conversion in Concrete Mathematics.
They are still paying for it with every product they buy because prices include the ad budgets. At best you could argue that poorer people are subsidized by richer people because they buy more and therefore pay for a larger share of the ad budget but ads certainly don't make stuff free for poorer people. Whether they would be better off with no advertising at all, i.e. if they still pay a larger share of the ad budgets than what the ad supported stuff they consume is worth, I can not tell.
The "WPF is dead" thing is weird seeing as how you have been able to build an application with supported technology the whole time.

They have tried to fight the impression, but people don't seem to listen.

I don't really get why landlords are raising the prices if it's leaving their shopfronts empty.

One possible motivation for this is indeed monopoly or collusion - if I own a significant percentage of the shopfronts, I can charge an unfairly high premium (and then I won't care if some remain empty).

If I own just a few shopfronts, and compete with other landlords, I should care a lot if my shop remains empty.
Stating a fact is not sexist. Stating anecdata often is, it is reflecting your conscious or unconscious biases as you collect the anecdotes.

Ah quote from a movie made by privileged ppl for angsty privileged ppl to think they are smarter than the other ppl in their society. A guaranteed formula for success. :) A word of advice quotes without arguments do not truly mean anything, particularly quotes from box office successes. Watch out I might start quoting Rihanna or Eminem at you! ;D

However addressing the quote directly. If Tyler Durden truly had that simplistic of a view of modern human life, than he sadly lacked any empathy for his modern man. As the character in the film suffered from some form of Bi Polarism that would make sense. Dealing with his ego over shadowed his ability for him to comprehend others. Didn't really like the film tbh.
I mostly like Python for its clean syntax but the examples contained in this PEP turn unreadable really fast. I don't look forward to this and I don't really see the point of it. I can see how it can be useful in theory but, in practice, I just see a symptom of language bloat.

The way I see it, if you find yourself in the situation where explicit type checking is important, there's probably something wrong with your process or team. Either your are not testing properly, or your team's mindset is more adjusted to another language.

The danger I see with this becoming widespread is Python becoming somewhat like C++ where it's very easy to come across code one can't easily read because it uses a different subset of features than you're used to. This sort of "language accents" so common in human languages is something that should be avoided in computer languages, IMHO.
