It's not a magic bullet — sometimes it's not practical — but Rust was built with interoperability with C/C++ in mind. Many Rust projects are built with C/C++ dependencies. Mozilla's use of Rust in Firefox is a good example of gradual adoption and interoperability.
Yeah. I think "Why not?" is a perfectly good answer.
This is based on the assumption that Rust will make you move more slowly — anecdotally, it does at times — and that this is a constant slow down.
I disagree with that premise. Rust is imperfect, and can seem obtuse when you begin using it. But the payoff is moving faster. It compiles, it works; modulo logic bugs. Less painful refactoring, less time spent chasing memory leaks, none of the bullshit memory bugs, no data races.
This isn't trivial stuff, and pays off day to day.
I also have to object to any argument that says something will be 'automagically' fixed in the future. It's a weak position based on something that _might_ happen.
Doppler is really nice. https://apps.apple.com/app/doppler-2-music-player/id14684597...
With the majority of the population living in cities on the coast. Sydney? Melbourne? Big, dense cities. We're not all out living in the bush shouting cooee at each other.
Andy Ngo is a well known far-right agitator, with a reputation for distorting events. What he recounts likely has a kernel of truth, but his reporting is suspect.
Oh lordy. The GCP docs. I straight up ignore them most of the time and just search for relevant guides elsewhere. So much of what Google puts up is marketing fluff, high-level descriptions, or at best a description of the happy-path to doing something.
The most galling thing is GCP support. I'm on a team which pays for google support and it is by far the most lax, useless nonsense I've ever encountered. They are literally no help.
This title is overstating the issue. End of the day, this is a tiny bit of interpersonal conflict/difficulties.
Personally I'm always sensitive to systemic, toxic behaviour in programming communities and I'll jump on it if I can. But this ain't it. This is plain self-aggrandisement.
sigh
That doesn't mean what you think it means.
Don't be obtuse. It's pretty clear what type of men she's talking about from the get go. If the article is guilty of anything it's generalising somewhat, but that's a minor concern.
Otherwise, it's on point. Notions of female purity are a load of horseshit.
Don't freak out. I'm personally dubious of most things he says. The ideas are often evocative, but I feel he has no grasp of the practical difficulties of his claims.
What is being described here is essentially first-class support for functional reactive programming behaviours.
That the post misses this detail is curious considering that Elm is mentioned within the first paragraph; Elm has first-class support for behaviours, given that it's an FRP centric language.
I would suggest a closer study of Elm and FRP in general.
Someone targeted with disgusting rape and death threats most definitely is a victim.
At this point, what prompted them is irrelevant. What is important is to remember that it's not OK to threaten to torture, rape and murder someone. Obviously. Your comment is yet another attempt to downplay their seriousness.
This is what is called a false dichotomy. I could for example point out that Dennis Richie gets more attention than say… Norman Borlaug.
Life and dying is not a competition.
Everybody involved in this is an arsehole and should be ashamed.
An article about how a journalist couldn't get an interview?
What a load of horse-piss. It happens all the time, but most journalists lack the hubris required to turn it into a story about themselves.
I think focussing on the Senate run as an effort to avoid extradition is missing the point.
It's two things. One is to actually try and do some good via a spot in the Senate. Cynicism might tell you that's not right/too simple. Ignore that feeling. Some people do actually have ideals.
Secondly, it's a bit of good old shit-stirring. Certainly something we need in Australian politics.
Sorry… it's HN, it brings out the finest pedantry in me.
I appreciate the humour, but he's running for Senate, not Parliament :)
Saying 'I might run for the Senate' is different to the announcement of a federal election and then confirming that yes, he definitely will run.
If you don't think that's newsworthy, aaaaah, you're nuts.
The core assertion of this piece is that Tim Cook somehow ballsed up the supply chain.
It makes this assertion without offering any numbers. This is called making-shit-up.
That's how covers work. They can be a nice thing — essentially quoting an artist you like — or they can be bullshit, like this.
It's not illegal, but it's not ethical.
They don't need a Death Star for the murdering children when drones seem to be doing a fine job.
I find it hard to be amused by a government's witty-japes-on-the-internet. People shouldn't be amused, they should be insulted. This is not humanity you're seeing. It's the thin veneer that gets scraped over bureaucracy and business-as-usual politics.
Also, a damn lot of this is marketing bullshit.
I would suggest that if the author is going to make a website devoted to it they should at least learn to distinguish them.
First point; Most wind turbines haven't been in place long enough to actually say they're only lasting for half as long. So… yeah I smell a bit of horse pucky there.
That said, the basic thrust of the paper seems right to me — although I need to give it a closer reading. Essentially, wind power is a poor choice for the UK. Little open land, not a heck of a lot of wind, a political environment which results in communities getting bought off with govt money.
So, context is important. If you want to see successful wind power generation, look at Germany, or a better example; South Australia.
First male that says something like 'I've never seen any sexism in the field' has to leave Earth _forever_.
Of course you haven't my dears, because you don't suffer it, you're blind to it.
You're gonna tell me you never got cut up about the way people treated you? You let cool logic rule you instead?
Bullshit! It's a basic fact that most people don't like being routinely belittled and side-lined. That's got nowt to do with gender. The difference is that women suffer it more often and gosh should they have the temerity to complain, suffer a further avalanche of abuse under the guise of cool, logical criticism.
"emotion trumping it on a political correctness card"
Political correctness is just short-hand for "don't be racist, don't be sexist, don't be a prick". Pretty simple.
It's naive to think that politics and emotion can somehow be kept out of any human endeavour. So, the _logical_ course is to have a open discussion about how we can maintain respect and encourage all who are interested and able to contribute. That's what is best for the field.
You've got such an undeveloped idea of gender equality that when someone directly talks about it, you want to label it 'sideline histronics'.
You, yes YOU, the individual using the handle etherael are part of the problem.
Easy enough to call his manhood into question, but pretty ridiculous when you immediately say that "Not that the campaign against him wasn't overzealous and clearly politically motivated, etc."
The abuse of the EAW and general excessive response are reason enough for to fight it.
As for salvaging credibility; a vicious media campaign had begun against him long before the extradition proceedings reached these dramatic heights — it's not a conspiracy either, it's just a lot of journalists are pricks.
I doubt going to Sweden would have changed that.
So, it's very easy to say he 'probably… made to face a comparatively light penalty', but when getting that judgement wrong means trumped-up espionage charges, it's a very different proposition altogether.
Well you can't kill off something that's already dead can you?
Underscore is not a kitchen-sink library. In order to keep it a terse library, Jeremy will need to constantly decide what goes in and what does not. I don't always agree with his choices, but I'm glad he's willing to be aggressive about what he believes is good. That's what makes for good libraries.
Also, I must say this is a poor choice of title for a HN post. It's emotive, a generalisation and doesn't actually reflect the actual content of the link.
You obviously disagree with Jeremy. Fine. But posts like this are weak.
