I think Rust is a fledgling this time. But I love the clearly orientation that they focus on. It is a safety system language, especially, the ownership/borrowing.
I didn't know about Iridium. I'll give it a try.
You inspired me to read the sudo manpage, which I don't know if I've ever done.

Right. Since you mention the installation instructions from Real World OCaml and the examples in the book need you to use Core, it is likely that beginners would experience these issues.

This fix is an opt-out with a compilation flag. Also, I don't know much about Chromium development process, so it might be irrelevant, but I only see source updates, without any updates in the documentation.
This. Someone who is out of shape will typically have a slower metabolism than someone who is in shape. Also, in defensive situations the out-of-shape person's body can rely more on adrenaline-based fight-or-flight mechanisms potentially leading to anxiety, which can then encourage comfort-eating and lead to cyclic weight-gain.

Once again, everyone wants to boil complex, intricate body and mind mechanisms down to "do this, don't do that." It's absurd. These are sophisticated systems full of roll-on cause and effect, tolerances, etc. not a toaster.

I have heard a couple of comments about Rust not being "there" yet. Why is it not "there" for you? Where, precisely, is "there"? I certainly hope you are not basing this opinion on a blog post from 2014 with terrible methodology (even the maintainer of the benchmarks came down to comment on how egregiously he was misusing the numbers).
Of course they would go to great lengths to make it seem voluntary. Otherwise he has grounds for legal action.
But still: whom would you give your money? To people who are wealthy because a lot of money have gone through them, or to entrepreneurs?

You probably went through 900 pages of code or textbooks before you got to your level of programming skill anyway, but you can do a lot of electronics with just, say, the first five chapters of Horowitz and Hill.
I want to add another angle to this, how our govt, AMA, FDA do not want us to learn about highly effective, non-toxic and cheap cures [1][2].

I meant financially undervalued by companies. Yes you have some players here and there but overall the market is not that big.
And an investment to this area from a developer's POV is too much of a risk. Also the learning curve is too steep.

Web tech is just the simplest way to reach the end user. Mobile apps or desktop apps are becoming a hassle as well. It just takes time to "install" something and use it.

I hope thing change but I am skeptical.
I wonder if any of this is caused by the higher testosterone level lumberjacks have? Perhaps it raises the inherent bravado level that judgment is impaired? [1]

I am a bit shocked that pilots are ranked so high on the fatality list. Perhaps its helicopter and similar listed? Is that only professional pilots?

anecdotal, many years ago parents had a large number of pines removed from their property. a young man was killed when he ran under a falling tree. he was running to get his hat he left on the stump of a previous tree, no one could understand why he did it, they all stand in a clear area when a tree comes down. I am not sure what was more surprising, the OSHA guy's "seen it before" attitude or the loggers parents "we always knew it would happen".

there's also disown. It's a bash builtin, so you'll have to type "help disown" ("man disown" gets you nothing). E.g. to run touchegg and close your terminal, keeping touchegg running:

touchegg & disown; exit
Son of a bitch. I misread it even as I copied it. I read "velocity" so read it as acceleration rather than dp/dt.

From what I understand (maybe incorrectly) vitamin D supplements cannot make up for the vitamin D one would normally get from sunlight.

Lets put it this way. Rust is great and all for somebody who is willing to invest in it but there are simply other "mature" alternatives that are just as good.
Well, not eating protein will mean you lose more muscle mass.

I don't see how this hype game you describe would be characteristic of private sales more than of public offerings. It is the mechanism that drives all bubbles.

In fact root of the often criticized short termism of publicly traded companies is exactly this hype game - the company management paints the sock impressively to fuel the hype.
I always see it presented this way, but calories is a measure of energy, not mass. Clearly a weight loss program is designed reduce the mass of your body.

Can anyone explain if there is a simple proportional link between "mass in/mass out" and "energy in/energy out" ?
I've been working on an open source weather app,can I get feedback?
Can you describe for me the alternatives to Rust that are memory safe without mandatory garbage collection and allow safe deallocation? The only industry language I'm aware of that meets these criteria and isn't a full-fledged theorem prover is ATS, and to call it a "mature alternative that is just as good" is kind of laughable.
That's the point. It's strong vendor lock in because NaCl is unadoptable by their competition.

Frankly, I don't want the hassle -however small- of having to dispute recorded charges. I much rather prefer that fraudulent charges be declined for reasons of insufficient funds. [0]

It might surprise you to learn that I manually instruct my bank to send checks to my creditors each and every month. Maybe I'm nuts. shrug

[0] Yes, I recognize that there's a potential race condition that might enable a fraudulent txn while denying me the ability to complete one of my own txns. Not much I can do about it with the tools that my otherwise wonderful bank gives me. :)

Growing up in the 80s I had those silly "electronics kits" from Radio Shack where you ran wires between various components to do things. At the same time I was learning BASIC and LOGO and stuff -- I think they were fairly complementary. I wonder if they still make those things?
>I have seen plenty of overweight people back in Italy that were able to do tough 10 hrs hikes or caving explorations with heavy loads or else. They looked far more healthy to me than slim people that do no exercise.

What do you define as 'overweight'? How did they 'look far more healthy' than slim people?

>I am just very skeptic of using weight as a measure of health or even as a universal goal. That said, being very overweight is a problem and being slim and doing exercise is a better option.

It's not weight per se it's excess adipose tissue. Any where past 20% for males and 30% BF for females will generally decrease performance to a significant extent.
Why Most Startups Fail
I think a lot of people don't grasp the extent to which the cost of founding a tech company has fallen since the dot-com boom. I remember forking out tens of thousands of pounds for physical hardware (which then had to be hosted somewhere) and software licences for things like Oracle and Checkpoint firewall, which I then had to install, set up, admin and maintain.

These days, with Google, AWS, Rackspace, Heroku, there's none of that. You can spin up a new server in minutes and scale up as required. All the technical infrastructure is already there, so you can focus on the product and market.
That was on iOS. Works well in Safari on Mac.

How do they know that the phone is used by a teenager? I expect that the SIM is on one of the parents but I don't know how that usually works in Korea.
Every big data platform I know of is or already has implemented manual memory management (they all run on the JVM). I can see Rust doing well in this world. It's hard to say things like Spark are undervalued. (Two data points: ~$50M investment in Databricks, the company commercialising Spark. IBM just committed ~3.5K developers to working on Spark projects.)
I don't know if you've actually read any of the credible results from the google query you link to, but there being environmental factors (including triggers and contributing factors) to depression does not mean that depression is a response to external events in the way that "normal"/healthy emotions are - which is what I'm getting at in the previous comment.

You might want to take a look at what the American Psychological Association and the American National Institute of Mental Health have to say about the case [0, 1], the University of Maryland's patient education article [2], Saveanu and Nemeroff's paper "Etiology of depression: genetic and environmental factors" [3], and clinical criteria (like DSM and ICD).

For example, the hills around Almaden Valley and Santa Cruz mountain foothills are full of deer which are known positive carriers of Lyme Disease. In the 1990's, there were or are signs on the trails indicating this. I believe the same caution applies to hills extending towards San Francisco, which includes walking The Dish at Stanford.

Needless to say: wear long socks and have someone else completely check all of your limbs and back under bright light and magnification for those very tiny deer ticks.

McD's sells fresh fruit bags, grilled chicken, all manner of salads that you don't need to add dressing to, and so on. But you want a specific example?

I give you the Ranch Snack Wrap® (Grilled), Artisan Grilled Chicken Filet, mostly because if you eat two of them, you're near the 500kcal (580) mark, macronutrient ratio breakdown by calorie being 25% protein, 33% carbs, 41% fat, which ain't bad at all. Sugar by weight is 2%, by macronutrient calorie breakdown is 6%.

Let's say you ate 7 of them(!?!?) to hit your daily intake, which would be dumb, but whatever: your salt intake is 2x RDA, and you're probably shorter than you'd like to be of fibre.

If you ate exclusively this item for your calorific intake for a month, you might find you were passing your poop a little uncomfortably towards the end, but you'd find yourself significantly more healthy than most of the Western world. Take a multivitamin once a week, and if you eat exclusively this for the rest of your natural life, your only real concern is going to be potentially raised blood pressure and you'll probably get haemorrhoids.

Now let us consider the humble rutabaga (or swede), a root vegetable, allowed by the NHS to count towards your five vegetables a day. At 86% carbs, and 10% protein, it's pretty unbalanced, but whatever. Oh, did I mention? It's 64% (SIXTY FOUR) sugar by calories. Try living off that for a week.

> How is that No True Scotsman in any way? Seriously?!

Sorry, I was pre-empting your response to this post where you find some reason that the Ranch Snack Wrap, fruit bags, etc aren't real McD's, and rutabagas aren't real vegetables.
In context, this comment is actually quite hilarious.

Dave Jones (the guy who shoots EEVBlog) also does a podcast with Chris Gammell (who teaches Contextual Electronics). For years, Dave has been giving Chris shit over his fantasy of one day having a chip printer. Dave is certain this will never happen and absolutely delights in making fun of Chris.

But all joking aside, those two guys have done great things in making electronics as a hobby accessible.

This is something I have been thinking about too and I would love to see standardised. I would see it as an html flag that indicates to the browser the user has the option to run the page in an Atom style shell. The main things I would want when running in privileged "app mode" include:

1. full access to keyboard short-cuts without browser mediation. Web-based tools like spreadsheets really suffer from inability to assign short-cuts for basic features like "add row".

2. no browser chrome e.g. url bar, toolbars, bookmarks etc. taking up screen real estate. Really important when running on mobile but also nice on the desktop too.

3. no addons by default (perhaps a different addon profile) to reduce performance overheads and behaviour conflicts on already performance constrained web-apps. The assumption is that these are tools like IDEs, word processors and spreadsheets.

4. aggressive caching of js/fonts/images for faster load. Even Google Docs suffers from "flashes of unstyled content"

5. cross-platform access to OS features for file-system access. One reason users have lost control of their data into the could is because browser-filesystem interaction is so painfully hobbled. If we used the file-system more then users could choose the dropbox style sync service of their choice rather than be locked in to the web-app developer's hosting. Users becoming responsible for their data again simplifies the web-app developer's architecture and hosting costs.

6. isolated process \ memory space from the user's other browsing activities. As a user, I don't want my office web-apps compromised by a broken video player in another tab of my browser. It would give a middle ground between Chrome's 100s of processes taking GBs of RAM versus Firefox vulnerable single process.

The main issue is that any unsandboxed behaviour would be abused. I wonder if browser vendors could support some type of app-developer certificate system. A nominal fee from a registered company would help track identity and certificates for malware developers can be banned.
It's also used in cochlear implants.
You can go ahead and use HTML 5 compliant markup. As these are static websites, you won't need any Canvas or other advanced stuff.
The Bad American Habits I Kicked in Finland
I built a package to bridge spidermonkey/Go last year[0]. I ended up doing most of the communication via JSON (after several less stable versions using reflect) which was fine for the use-case I had. Unfortunately since it builds spidermonkey and some wrapper code it ruined any chance of "go get" working cleanly which doesn't make it a very attractive package.

CandyJS looks much simpler. Good work.

> I know of a man whose first name is Þórr who outright refuses to deal with any organization that will not let him write his name, and I have a hard time disagreeing with him.

I wish I had that luxury sometimes. Here's a pet peeve. I live in France, where people expect everyone to have a one-word family name (it seems). It's really common for people and especially computer systems to "correct" my name (which is of the form Me van der Somebody) to something like Me VANDERSOMEBODY or Me Van Der Somebody. A particular web page (my employer's, actually -- where I have to fill in my name for my "profile page") does the latter, and refuses to allow me to fix it. I have submitted bug reports, and just get WONTFIX back. :(

It's really rude, so I can imagine that for a person called þórr it's a nightmare everywhere except Iceland.
On ethics in information technology
Here is the thing. The problem is not systemd as init, it is systemd as, well, systemd.

The constant addition of daemons and functionality to the overall systemd codebase by either subsuming or replacing existing, INDEPENDENT, projects.

As such, who cares what init is used. The thing is that until systemd the other daemons/services started by init didn't particularly care what init it was.

Previously you could piecemeal your changes. Didn't like syslog? Grab something else that talk the lingo and slot it into place. Sorry, but journald demands that the init is systemd.

Want something to handle seats/sessions? Sorry, but logind only works with systemd as init.

Etc etc etc!

Going on and on and on about inits is a smokescreen.

I'm curious why you were given metronidazole: was it for Lyme disease or did you develop a C difficile infection from other antibiotics? I'm just curious because I'm a physician and have never heard of using metronidazole for Lyme disease.
The tone was inflammatory but the sentiment is valid. Quoting:

Since no one really know which binaries have been downloaded there and what they actually do, and since it cannot be excluded that it was actually executed, such systems are basically to be considered compromised

A closed source binary being silently downloaded and executed without explicit action by the user or notification to the same is a security incident.

Many people are used to it because of all the training received by the "Java Auto Update", "Google Update Helper" and similar software receiving blank permission to monitor, download and execute closed source software with the same permission as the logged in user.

Despite of that a person that goes to the lengths of using Debian (instead of Ubuntu) and Chromium instead of Chrome certainly expects more from their sources than to allow this kind of behaviour.

It is a security incident and should be treated as one both by Debian and by the community in general.
It's a red herring. They present data about public markets to conclude there's no bubble. But the bubble, whether real or not, is generally considered a funding bubble taking place in private markets.
You know what? Those lectures were the ones I remember 10x better than the ones with printed handouts and powerpoint slides.
I think you yourself underestimate how big the market is here. :) One of my tasks for the past few weeks has been to get in touch with companies using Rust, and whereas I expected to be talking to nothing but early-stage startups, to my surprise there are some biiiig companies out there using Rust. People in more conservative environments are only just picking it up now that 1.0 is here, expect many more announcements as to who is using Rust to emerge in the next 6 - 12 months.

If not, HTML5 is normal HTML, not even a requirement to support IE8 will stop you using HTML5, though individual things in the various standards have different levels of support, and not all fallback gracefully or have polyfills available.

Things that I can do to get the first 10 users for a free product
There are a lot of material online ( in witch my Y Combinator contributed to significantly ) on how to build a product, grow a start up , hiring people , etc... I didn't find enough material on how to get the first 10 users to even land on your webpage( You need people to land on your page before they decide if it is a good product or not )
Some obvious ways are:
google AdWords,
facebook ads ,
sending it to friends and family,
physically approaching people ( your market ) and telling them about the product.

Can you please share your experiences/ways on how get the first 10 users?

"No other options" than investing one's savings? Go to Russia to find out some of those other options, or any other place where people don't count on their wealth not to be confiscated at an unpredictable moment. Basically the other option is "doing expensive stupid shit" and you'd be surprised how many variations of this one can come up with. Certainly society as a whole ends up waaaay less wealthy if "the wealthy" (or those with any sort of surplus, really) end up strongly preferring spending to investment.

Hence taxing yachts sounds to me like it could be smarter than taxing investment. (Not 100% sure, as usual with these things, just looks sensible at first glance.)
