There was a guy at the last Rust Seattle meetup that was doing procedural music generation in Rust and said he was having a blast.

I'll believe it when I try it.

This is amazing. With some camera smoothing in post production you could have shots that were previously only possible with a helicopter shot. I can see this being just as influential if not more than the gopro.

I disagree with the comment syntax highlighting. If I'm trying to fix a bug in some code, I'll read all the comments and then try to focus on what the code is actually doing. I don't need the comments trying to steal my focus away. Some times, I'll get vim to color comments the same as my background so they'll be invisible.

My 5 year old macbook pro handles the development version of jquery (10,309 loc) with syntax highlighting just fine. It can be (a bit) janky when scrolling through the whole thing, but it's not very noticeable. Local edits / search are as fast as vim.

Food is more expensive and time consuming than sex.

I've never heard anyone say that sex is a chore, but I often feel that way cooking food that I don't want to eat, but have to because I'm hungry.

written on bathroom walls

I don't know where you went to school, but I certainly didn't see up-to-date gossip on hundreds of students plastered to the bathroom walls.

passed around in notes

Notes can be viewed by one person at a time and can be entirely removed by a single person.

People have always been mean, but now people can be mean very efficiently.

What? Is unordered traversal of a hashmap unexpected? I would be surprised if it did anything different.

Would it be feasable to show what an example profile/job-description looks like before signing up?

If I'm not mistaken, it was never planned for Servo to have it's own Javascript engine, it just does layout. Most benchmarks just test JS execution time, so you wouldn't even run those ones.

While the Stable Marriage problem is related, is it really useful in the case of pairing people for dates?

Virtual reality affects men and women differently

I'm still not sure why he feels so strongly about being inclusive of his employees when he felt it necessary to help fund a bill that would do the exact opposite to millions of people in California (including his employees).

There is no grey scale here. Either you think that people (regardless of their sexual orientation) are equal, or you don't. You don't get to pick who to assign rights to based on if they work for your company or not.

At this point, every time I see him say "everyone at mozilla is treated fairly" it's obvious that he just doesn't want to commit career suicide while also remaining a bigot.

Oh, this is neat. (keeps reading...) HOLY SHIT TIM POPE

I'm interested in what you think of ScalaCheck[1]. It looks like at least someone is doing it.

Carmack is the CTO.

With the current Oculus kit? You mean the dev-kit 1? Because I have one of those and aside from playing around developing games on it for when a real version is shipped, I wouldn't pay $25 for it. Now I'm super worried that Sony is going to ruin VR by giving us a shitty version that makes everyone hate VR again.

I'm interested in why so many people on that anonymous social network didn't like her so much.

'Made our jobs infinitely harder. Good fucking riddance.'

I don't think I'd be able to keep from constantly laughing.

While I don't think that syntax is that important, I am fond of sugar.

Because I've been working in D for a while, here's how you'd do it in D.

    import core.time: Duration, dur;
    import std.datetime: Clock, SysTime;

    Duration days(int number) {
      return dur!"days"(number);
    }

    SysTime from_now(Duration duration) {
      return Clock.currTime + duration;
    }

    void main() {
      import std.stdio: writeln;
      writeln(2.days.from_now);
    }

Really? Charging $60 for Jump Point Search? I'm almost inclined to copy the API and implement it for free just out of spite.
