That might actually make sense... and I have to say that it would be useful, too. Quite often I find myself doing if condition { Some(foo) } else { None }; being able to just write if condition { foo } could be neat syntactic sugar for that (though it might also be confusing, since in Rust generally types don't form magically like that). The solution I'd come up with was just to give booleans a .then method (maybe they already have one that i missed).

I wish they wouldn't have curved/smoothed the graphs. Since it's by year, there are discrete points and values. When you curve a line it has implications for the underlying data, which in this case are incorrect.
Why do you say he did not?

"...he'd had trouble in the past withdrawing large sums of money from out-of-state banks."

Sounds like a completely understandable excuse to me.

Further, why does his true intent matter in the least? His money was stolen without due process, and that's true whether he was running drugs or making music.

There are also a lot of homeless people that moves north from Montréal.

They are quite mobile but only if there is a reason to. Good housing is a big reason and I'm sure many of them will consider moving there.

I did this for a while, my ISP had a reasonable rate for a business connection so I had no blocked ports. The issue I ran into was uptime. There were a lot more little outages and unexplained speed issues than would have been acceptable in a datacenter.
It's funny (actually funny, not being mean funny) that you consider the digg exodus period as 'the good old days' of reddit, because those of us who had been there a few years were really pissed off and nostalgic for how it had been before.

You also need to re-bind it to d3.

$ = d3.selectAll.bind(d3);

Since `this` in the `selectAll` will refer to whatever is before the period. When we reassign to `$` in `$ = d3.selectAll`, we lose that. Silly, isn't it?

When you learn to play guitar you learn about the main staple of blues music, the Pentatonic Scale, a simple palette of just 5 notes that you can follow all the way up the guitar neck (or piano, voice, or bass for that matter)

B.B. King has a portion of the Pentatonic box patterns for guitar named after him, it's a place on the guitar neck known to guitarists as the "the B.B. King" box.

Then you learn how to play a lot of popular rock and pop songs, then you realize the overwhelming majority of guitar rock music over the past 50 years is very derivative of blues riffs, in fact it's all just blues music played really loud, distorted, and to a straight rhythm.

It's staggering to think how many great rock musicians have come and gone, and B.B. predated all of them by decades and outlived them for decades more, performing the whole time.

I got $5.35 working at a plastics factory, making house siding and PVC pipe. I still have a scar from slashing a finger open with a hacksaw while we were starting up a siding line... basically, I would cut semi-molten PVC siding that was moving about a foot a second, because it was still too warped to make it into the cooling tanks, much less the cutters. Had to keep cutting, too, despite my injury.

The factory and manufacturing work that everyone seems to miss these days is profoundly unsafe.

IMO the issue McDonald's is facing is the degradation of its public image. Simply put, McDonald's is what homeless people eat(low in price, high in calories). In the last two or three decades new burger joints have emerged that fill the gap between the dollar menu burger and the $10 restaurant burger. Places like Culver's and In-and-Out have taken a larger slice of the _burger_. You can see them combating this with the aggressive advertising towards millennials; the trend-setters. The new non-GMO simple chicken sandwich is a glaringly obvious admittance that their prior adverts failed.

To fix McDonald's, their only option is to use their superior distribution network to produce marginally higher quality food that is on par with the aforementioned. The perceived public image will improve itself overtime.
Interesting! I found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0mAQdTsVp0
I believe that the need of producing binaries without dependencies (I assume you mean a VM) isn't so widespread, quite the contrary, most developers want a VM underneath because then deployment becomes easier. The loud minority that has historically complained about the widespread usage of the VM have been just that, a minority. And it is funny, because things are progressing in that direction with C++ as well (speaking of LLVM or Emscripten). That is not and has never been the real difference between C++ and Java/.NET, but rather in having versus not having a GC. The main reason for why C++ still wins by a good amount in any benchmark is because for performance sensitive code memory access becomes by far the biggest bottleneck and in C++ there's simply more opportunity for optimizing memory access patterns.

Delphi too lacked a GC. Java and .NET haven't killed Delphi, it is Borland that killed Delphi. This isn't a winner takes all kind of war (well, maybe it is in Windows land). We live in an industry in which multiple programming languages can coexist. For evidence of this you need to look no further than Linux, the Tower of Babel of our age.

And I disagree with you - besides the open-source operating systems that are developed by multiple parties, all "OS vendors" are interested in the lock-in of developers. You're mixing cause and effect I think ... when an "OS vendor" adopts a programming language that isn't created by themselves, that's only because the programming language in question is already popular and here to stay.

I think the main point here is the one Todd Gitlin makes: "the onus for disclosure ultimately lies with reporters and news programs, who should be asking these experts to reveal potential conflicts of interest and to explain the basis of their assertions about national security."

We all have a conflict of interest here (not least because since we are all being spied on by our governments) but that doesn't mean our opinions aren't valid. But the conflicts of interest need to be disclosed with the opinions so the readers/viewers have a chance to weight the opinions presented.

No, the 20-something-year-old MBA doesn't know. But the 50 year old partner who the MBA works for is likely a world-class expert who has done this a dozen times. And if he's not, he usually knows someone who is that can be brought in to advise - at a price, of course. The partner is usually the one who sold the work and has the trust relationship with the client. So it fucks with the partner's money if the MBA delivers shit work. Management consulting is an apprenticeship business, so the partner is incentivized to make sure the MBA learns how to do things quickly so he can be billed out at higher rates, develop his own relationships with clients, etc. Do that for long enough and you can be a partner pulling in $10 million a year too.

Most big management consulting firms these days also do both management consulting and system integration. The margin on management consulting work is sick, but the projects aren't that big (a few million dollars over a couple months). The margin on implementation projects is much lower, but the projects themselves can be enormous (think hundreds of millions over several years). So you're fucking your implementation guys if you deliver an unimplementable plan. And in a partnership model, if the implementation project fails, the partner who did the management consulting piece of the work still takes a hit.

We've been running with d3 instead of jQuery for almost 2 years. Some notes so far:

- d3.selectAll is more verbose than $() but in my opinion, that's not a bad thing as I try to minimize DOM selections anyways;

- transitions are another area where D3 really shines, for cases where you don't/can't use CSS transitions, like displaying a discreet popup status message.

- d3 data binding is oh so convenient, and that's where the real magic happens. Combined with a queueing system like postal.js, we pretty much have the same thinking model as React. The DOM is now an expression of the data, and D3's joins figure out what DOM elements need to be updated. It's slightly lower level than React, in that you specify what happens on enter/update/exit, but in terms of efficiency, it seems great (disclaimer: we haven't run benchmarks);

- if you happen to like CoffeeScript, D3 turns into a very elegant DSL that is consistent for DOM editing, styling and event handling. Here's a simple lightbox modal dialog:

lightbox.shell = d3.select "body"
.div "#shadebox"
.style "opacity", 0
.on "click", ->
lightbox.removeLightbox()
d3.event.stopPropagation()

lightbox.body = lightbox.shell.append "div"
.attr "id", "lightbox"
.on "click", -> d3.event.stopPropagation()

lightbox.showLightbox()
return lightbox.body

- we've added a `.div` function that's shorthand for d3.append and automatically adds an id and/or class, to feel a bit more like Jade;

- one downside we found with D3 is that we can't just grab any jquery plugin and throw it in our app.
Perhaps the more interesting question since the prison population is excluded: what about ex-cons? Ex-cons have a much more difficult finding work for a variety of reasons, and I believe that ex-cons as a percentage of the work force is significantly more than it used to be. So how much of the rise of non-working males is due to the rise in the number of ex-cons?
Currently I have to write some code for every new source, partly for the extraction of articles but also to add it to the list of customizable ones etc. Unless they were limited to a standard format then it's hard to add new sources without getting stuck your hands wet.

As far as duplication is concerned - yes, I've even had a go at implementing it. I was using the jaccard index to compare stories within the last 2 days. In the end I found it was hard to be confident enough about the match. I don't want to miss stories and so personally just put up with the noise.

If you can only save a few thousand a year then you fall firmly into the "living above their means" category in my personal opinion. Having children you cannot afford is a common way that lower income people live above their means, even if it sounds crass to word it in that way.

My anecdotal experience working alongside lower class workers is that most of them run into trouble through trying to live a middle class lifestyle without the income to support it. They buy new cars, they eat out often, they refuse to work more than 40 hrs/wk, and they live in pricier apartments without roommates. All of these mistakes tie into the financial illiteracy that plagues people who were never exposed to those with good money habits.
I agree that most is silly. Certainly many though.

Consider: When I was single I lived a very very very comfortable life on $22,000 a year (cash, not income). I put that much in my checking account and everything else in savings and investment. This was after I spent several years putting the majority of my pay on loans to become debt free and paid off the $60,000 in student loans and a very small car loan.

If someone makes a salary of $30,000 a year than they probably take home around $22,000 after taxes and insurance. It would be much less comfortable for them to have a lot of savings. True, not impossible, but much much harder than me since their takehome pay is equal to my "frugal" pay. They would have to give up much more than I do. Obviously you can't max out your 401(k) and IRA on that salary, maxing those out would be more than your take home pay! Basically - not possible until you get past median income (which is around $50k)

As an aside I don't think children have to be that expensive... Granted I don't have them but I see all my friends spending a massive amount of money on very silly things for their kids. Nobody needs the majority of crap that is bought for kids. Household size has, IIR, doubled in the last 60 years. It isn't like kids' needs have changed to take up double space since my grandparents were raising them - it is parents just give them more.

>The terms of this promise were even disclosed in GoPro’s S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission as the company was gearing up to go public last year

Agreed, seems like this is nothing out of the ordinary. 'GoPro CEO decides not to get sued for 229M by his employee #1' would be another way to put it. I would say that this was committed to 'in writing' at that time, if not before.

Edit: From the S1 "Share of proceeds from sale of equity securities
During our development stage, Nicholas Woodman, our CEO, entered into a verbal agreement with Neil Dana, an employee since October 2004, pursuant to which Mr. Woodman agreed to share 10% of any proceeds he received from the sale of our equity securities held by Mr. Woodman. Pursuant to Mr. Woodman’s agreement with Mr. Dana, in March 2011, we paid Mr. Dana a cash payment of $6.1 million, and Mr. Woodman reimbursed us in the amount of $6.1 million. We recorded the payment to Mr. Dana as compensation expense. In release of any claim Mr. Dana had to further payments under his agreement with Mr. Woodman, in June 2011 we issued Mr. Dana fully vested options to purchase 6,584,427 shares of Class B common stock under our 2010 Plan at an exercise price of $0.763 per share, and in December 2011 issued to him 270,000 RSUs under our 2010 Plan that will be settled upon a qualified acquisition. We recorded compensation expense of $6.8 million in connection with the issuance of these options. In connection with our equity awards to Mr. Dana, Mr. Woodman entered into a separate agreement with us in December 2011 pursuant to which he agreed to contribute back to us the same number of shares of Class B common stock as are issued pursuant to the exercise of Mr. Dana’s options.
Mr. Dana has been employed by us since October 2004. During 2011, 2012 and 2013, Mr. Dana had total cash compensation, including base salary, bonus and other compensation, of $6.3 million (inclusive of the $6.1 million payment described above), $245,499 and $240,982, respectively."

> The power of Error comes from the fact that all error types impl Error, which means errors can be existentially quantified as a trait object. This manifests as either Box<Error> or &Error.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out that this means: "you can have heterogeneous collections of errors, and you can use them 'polymorphically' without knowing their concrete type."

In other words, you can use Error as a "trait object." I don't think a newbie to Rust would follow the language in the article here.
