I'll never use rust for anything important. Too dangerous, unstable, badly organized, toxic development community, the list goes on.

Well thanks for that astroturfed testimonial!
That's what I use it for now. Thought I mentioned that, whoops.
Yeah, I just run ubuntu on it.
Yeah, I use a Chromebook as my main browsing machine and I've been so disappointed with it's capabilities. For some reason, I thought Google would make some efforts to make the ChromeOS a tool for developers on-the-go, but they've just seemed to shit on the entire lineup except for the Pixel.
Probably the last Google-backed device I'll buy.
Yeah, most billionaires have no idea what they're talking about. All luck. Yup.

Yes. Lua could have been the Julia of its time if they had decided to pursue a more advanced compilation system rather than trying to embed lua everywhere in everything. Luajit is fast because of the nature of optimizations upon the tables structure and single table architecture. Julia is a better, faster lua and I don't find myself missing being able to embed my code when I can just call into what I need FROM julia.
Yeah I noticed that too. I wax assuming that it would target the word nearest the bottom that starts with the letter I start with, but I don't think that is the case. Not sure, but not def tripped me up a couple times. No excuses though, definitely need to get faster.
1400 at 7am, I call that pretty good.
I'm pretty excited about this. I think some kids out there will really enjoy an environment like this to mess with, and maybe learn a thing or two about machine learning along the way.
Starcraft is a really fun game, and I think it's enough to engage kids a little more than something like Minecraft where there's plenty of room for some cool ML hacking, but not enough stimulation from it. Instead of just seeing blocks here or there or whatever, starcraft has hard goals that will force them to use critical thinking skills, their knowledge of the game, their own personal strategic insights, and the ML skills they accrue.
So exciting! Love the feature layer idea also, well done!
Well, this thing can run Ubuntu Touch apps, and it may even be able to run Sailfish and Nemo apps later on...
Ubuntu Touch is the big one though, I'd love to see more devices compatible with it. Some industrious fellow out there is probably willing to port most of the python crap in Kali to something more useful, agile, portable, and compatible with Ubuntu Touch, if something like that isn't already going on.
How can thinkpads reasonably be trusted after superfish though? Some security agencies don't even allow Lenovo hardware onsite, sort of implies something...
Out of touch? Who'd want to be in touch with a war criminal like Hillary? I don't want to be in that touch.
Should a businessman run a country? I don't know.
Should a criminal terrorist enabler run a country? I do know: No.

Y'all check out some Chromebooks now, and maybe even consider some odroid products. I have a cardboard phone box with a little crappy USB fan ziptied onto it, a small keyboard and standalone 8" hdmi display. Fits into my lunchbox, can stream 1080p,do whatever I want, and for the price of the new MBP I can build ten more.
