Big data could be huge for Rust. I have a friend who works in the Hadoop ecosystem who's about to take a 90% pay cut to leave his current job in favor of using Rust at a startup. If I had gratuitous amounts of money, this is the field that I'd be investing in.

Google also has a gargantuan-scale dev team that includes the people behind Go. It's ridiculous to compare. If Github does not yet themselves have sufficient people with sufficient experience supporting large services in Go, betting critical infrastructure on it would be irresponsible.

Note that he is not saying they're not open to alternatives, nor that they're not experimenting with alternatives, but that they need more experience first before "betting critical infrastructure on something else by default".
> Go seems to be for the Python, Ruby and Java developers and will be used for enterprise applications, mobile apps and application servers.

No thanks, Go offers no benefit over the Java eco-system, neither in terms of deployment[0][1][2], not in terms of libraries and dependency management, nor in language expressiveness (Java 8, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, Ceylon, Groovy)

It's not hard to get started. Pick up Make: Electronics to learn the basics by example. Each chapter walks you through a project that teaches some important concepts.
http://www.amazon.com/Make-Electronics-Discovery-Charles-Pla...

And to get started with Arduino, you can simply buy a starter kit:
http://www.amazon.com/Arduino-Starter-Official-170-page-Proj...

I actually think it's easier for most people to get started with electronics than with code. This is coming from someone with 13 years coding experience and who has only been working on hobby electronics for the past 2 years.

Electronics projects don't have the same amount of boilerplate you see with writing code today. Development tools, frameworks, dependency management, the commandline, polyglot projects etc hinder a lot of beginners at the start. I would say you need to read 900 pages before you can fully understand everything that goes into developing a trivial CRUD website. With electronics, you just plug in and start learning. Learn the functions of a lot of different components and then come up with something that uses them together. Ohm's law is most of what you /need/ to know to design a basic circuit. You can derive what you need with the help of V=IR e.g. voltage dividers, components in series, parallel. And you need to learn how to read schematics and datasheets.

The theory behind everything you do is deep if you want to venture into electromagnetism, which is IMO deeper than what you would expect from college level CS. But it's not necessary to have a deep understanding of it in practice. Though you could say the same about a lot of software engineering and its relation to CS. :)

To be a little more clear pacemaker != defibrillator, although often they are combined into one device. A defibrillator gives a large shock to the heart to knock it out of a dangerous rhythm such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. A pacemaker is designed to send a smaller shock in such a way as to stimulate the atria and/or ventricles to depolarize and contract (recreating the normal rhythm).

Pacemakers are designed to either constantly go off or to detect missed beats and give shocks. They do not knock people down and I've never seen anybody ever complain of a pacemaker shock being even detectable. A defibrillator can be part of a pacemaker (in which case it's called an ICD), and it WILL hurt if it goes off. I think that is what you mean.
Its not me doing a HTML5 but does the website require is more of a question.

I'm so sick of this TRIM. Constant configurations needed because of it, constant care like "this thing you better don't do on SSDs". And then problems like this.

Do you think there'll ever be SSDs that don't need it?

the problem with the "distinct functions" case is if end up doing this:

Fortran programmers will never move to Rust. The level of systems knowledge required to use Fortran is almost nothing. It is already a pretty safe language due to the heavy restrictions on pointers and compiler warnings. The abstractions and restrictions in Rust will make it completely unpalatable to the scientific community.

Fine, I concede. The term MacDonalds may be too ingrained in my mind as a synonym to junk food.

I should have said "500 calories of sugar-rich junk food will not affect your weight and health in the same way as 500 calories of protein. Doing calorie maths is pointless for any relevant overview of your diet."

It seems a bit pedantic to be bothered by me bashing MacDonalds.

Here’s the First Look at Apple’s Latest OS X Version 10.11 Dubbed as El Capitan
My anecdotal evidence: tried it when I was looking for my first contracting gig in Jan 2014. Got one serious lead (short-term contract for native iOS app development with immediate start required and a very tight deadline).

Initial discussion by email went well. Moved onto a telephone conversation, which also went well. Although the deadline was tight, the project appeared to be well-managed and they seemed to know what they were doing. Unfortunately, the person on the phone appeared to be absolutely horrified upon hearing my daily rate (which was the standard daily rate for iOS development in London at the time – I wasn’t trying to take the piss). I followed up by email highlighting my experience and track record in the specific field they were targeting as well as the value I would bring to the project but never heard anything back.

I got an excellent offer from a person in my own network a few days later so I didn’t give the HN thread another try.

Incidentally, I’m now looking for my next gig. Anyone looking for a talented Lead .NET developer / Architect in London (UK), with both startup and Fortune 100 experience, feel free to contact me: http://mehdi.me
Complaining about domestic supply is a legitimate complaint. Clearly asking for permission to solve a supply problem by importing foreign labor would mean 1) that you would have to pay the same rates as domestic employees in that function are paid (thus excluding the imported labor from that calculation) and 2) Those employees should be able to switch jobs at will. Without this you're complaining about domestic cost and not supply.

That is, if you believe that these type of immigration schemes should be necessary at all.
You urged to do your math, but didn't present any of yours.

Muscle burns an inconsequential amount of energy -- 6-10 per pound depending on sources. So if you were somehow to gain 10 pounds of pure muscle, you'd have enough calories for a small apple per day (60 cal).

How fast can you gain 10 pounds of muscle? In an 18-week weight training programme, a group of men gained 4.6 pounds of muscle: http://jap.physiology.org/content/82/1/298 -- most of the gain in 8 weeks. So I would imagine increasing your lean mass by 10 pounds (just to be able to eat an extra apple a day) would be quite an effort.

One study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3139779/

So considering SOLELY weight loss, ignoring calory deficits from diet changes and focusing on building up muscle mass does not seem effective. Instead of building up muscle mass for a 60Cal deficit via BMR increase, take a 600 Cal deficit via diet and lose the weight in 1/10th the time.
I think it's important to make a distinction between over engineering "features" and "properties".

I completely agree that over engineering that takes the form of "this feature will be cool, lets build it" without validation or demonstrated need from the market is generally a bad idea.

However taking time to understand the fundamentals of a system and build a robust core on strong principles is almost always a good idea.

Fair enough, everyone has different goals. Some people really just want to lose fat for the sake of it.
Doing multiple passes at once is a (premature) optimisation. For prototyping you'd rather split the process into as small and simple passes as possible.
The architecture of the Fairphone 2
I wonder if the destination matters: Going to a fair or theme park, actually, even going to work, most people would be preoccupied with anticipation and planning, some sort of excitation, while going home, your mind is in a reflective/contemplative/relaxed state. In the former state, you're more acutely aware of not being there yet, while less so in the latter.

and "can you remember factoids from Wikipedia infoboxes",

That's a simplification. E.g. I have trained vectors on Wikipedia dumps without infoboxes, and I queries such as Berlin - Deutschland + Frankreich work fine.

Of course, even the remainder of Wikipedia is nice text in that it will contain sentences such as 'Berlin is the capital of Germany'. So, indeed, it makes doing typical factoid analogies easier.

That said -- I am more interested in the syntactic properties :).

Is this enforced by the OEM ROM? Won't flashing a custom rom on your phone bypass it? How do they know the user is within the age group that is required to install it? If 3rd party apps are supported for this is there an app that either has a "hidden" disable setting or an app that pretends to have the functionality but in reality does nothing. Won't the infrastructure for a product like this be a large target for hackers? Is it enforced by the SIM card? Will it automatically be disabled when the user becomes old enough not to have the app installed?

Assuming that by "4:2" you are talking about intermittent fasting, does anyone believe otherwise? Alternate-day fasting can help people lose weight not because there's any magical effect, but because a faster is unlikely to double their calorie intake the day after fasting - having fast days is just a simple/easy way to reduce overall calorie intake.

Besides, the main benefits of alternate-day fasting are meant to be health related, not explicitly weight-loss. Is it a main-stream weight-loss method?

Once upon a time, there was a huge hobby interest in Electronics. Kids were building Radios and Stereos, and then studying for their Ham license and building Transmitters, etc. Many of those kids went on to a professional career in Electronics.

For a while there was huge interest in building small microprocessor systems, but then along came the desktop PC revolution and this attracted a completely different crowd. A distinct separation developed between homebrew electronics and computer hacking.

The saying, "Beware computer programmers carrying a screwdriver" was only half in jest.

So today the Hacker movement is starting all over again, but they seem completely unaware that a generation or two of Hardware Hackers already exists.

Me, I'm retired now. I started out as a Ham radio enthusiast, later became an RF Engineer, then went on to Circuit design and PC layout, then DSP and Assembler language in Embedded systems. But towards the end of my career I found it harder and harder to find employment as manufacturing dried up. Eventually I just gave up and retired.

Bottom line is that Electronics is an interesting hobby, but I wouldn't recommend it for a career.

Just one further note: Lately I've been spending time in Asia: If you go into the smallest bookshop (eg in rural Thailand) you'll see local electronic magazines, complete with free kits and PCBs etc stapled on the cover. In Asia, Electronics is now a very trendy subject with schoolkids.

Here, kids are labelled as "nerds" if they show an interest in any science based hobby. Perhaps that is beginning to change. I do hope so.
Interviews with founders and CEOs
I am an American and have lived in Europe (Northern Europe) for over four years. I don’t fear awkward silences anymore either, but, what I do miss is an easy going relationship with conversation. It seems to me as if Europeans can be socially awkward and I am not sure if I will ever entirely warm up to the idea of “the culture of comfortable silence.” Perhaps a balance between insentient chattering and enforced silence would be nice. I believe conversation is an art, it is important, and it is part of what makes us human.
But then all other factors aren't equal. I.e., person P with x% muscle and y% fat; eats 2500 and burns 2000; or that same person eating 3000 and burning 2500.
Top Startup Books
My experience is that people don't understand cloud pricing at all.

First of all they tend to not look at monthly prices, and are seduced into thinking their instances are cheap. Secondly they are seduced itnto thinking they are spending less ops time, though in my experience it's the reverse. Thirdly, people "forget" about extras like bandwidth costs (which are extortionate at all the big cloud providers), extra storage volumes etc.

Then when people get the bill, it often gets back-rationalised as being ok because it's cloud so it must be cheap.

The greatest innovation AWS did was finding a way to get people to pay absolutely insane rates for hosting.
This shows how thin is the layer of democracy in the society.

"South Korea is a vibrant democracy. It's had free and fair elections since 1987."

(so it is 28 years, this is only about 5 years more than nations in Eastern Europe who escaped Soviet Russian dictatorships).

"Major-General Park Chung-hee took power in a coup in 1961.

He was a strongman who utilised brutal methods - but he also dictated that industries be created.

Under his direction, the South Korean economic phenomenon was born."

(this also raises the question why dictators in the north were not able to do the same)

"Koreans know that. And the current president knows that. She should do - Park Geun-hye is the dictator's daughter. "

(this makes me throw up a little)

What's happening is the added noise causes the spectrum of the error to change. With uniform uncorrelated noise (and some constraints), you can prove that the error is also uniform + uncorrelated, which means that the signal distortion must be zero (because otherwise the error would not be uncorrelated).

You can see that this gives you a discernible image with only 1 bit of depth. The same technique gives digital audio extra range and lower distortion.
That's capitalism in a nutshell. Quality, or "actually working" is not an important value and in time it gets cut out (those who don't get outcompeted by those who do).
