If you let your jalapeños get red, they'll be hotter and tastier.

I think I agree and I can't help but think that we (as a society) have our priorities backwards. Who do these tests protect? Do they bolster the student? If so, why would they want to cheat? Is it because the information isn't rel

The selling point of iterators isn’t that they replace for loops, it’s that you can make new iterators by implementing a trait. That at way downstream users can use your iterators in a for loop. Of course you also can use a more functional

Along with banning the chemicals, the corporation could be “murdered”. Like a death sentence for a corp. They would cease to exist in that country. I’m sure this would make them think much harder about the effects of their actions.

Benefiting society is one thing, but padding a corporation’s profit is another.

I would argue that swift is pretty distant compared to the ML family of languages - specifically Haskell. Besides garbage collection, the biggest difference between Haskell and Rust is that Haskell already has higher kinded types.

You should try Haskell. It has everything Rust has (and much more) and it also has a garbage collector. I prefer it to ocaml.

Considering the cultural importance of crows in Nordic culture I see this as an elegant solution that fits just right. Can't wait to see what funny things happen next.

Or, coding is basically just folds and filters.

Does anybody know what the acquisition price was? Or what the terms were (like how long must the founders remain on the team, etc)?

I was working at Formation.ai in SF when my wife was diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer. Formation had an "unlimited PTO" policy and didn't even bat an eye at letting me take all the time I needed to care for my wife and f

I don't think entrapment is the problem here - it's that the government is distributing child porn. It's still wrong even if the government is doing it. The ends don't justify the means.

This is great. I switched my renderer from OpenGL to wgpu for my engine and I cannot exaggerate how much better the error reporting is. Instead of "working incorrectly" or simply not working and providing a vague error code (like

You can use an access token (and not store it), or you can use one unique ssh key per machine. But yeah, it looks like for your use case this is not a great change.

If you dig the idea of using VR for productivity then you should check out the SimulaVR project, which brings wayland/X support to Linux VR. https://simulavr.com/

What does it mean to “raise the standard of rust online”? Was that a typo?

You're right - I love the look of weathering steel, but it looks like it would be a bad choice for where I live in New Zealand, which is humid subtropical.

And the interaction can't be monitored - the user has no guide through dosages besides the person directly benefiting from the sale.

No, full stop. The two American parties are not equivalent in their modern forms. You can use “over the long term” to further any point you like because at one point the Republican Party was the liberal, progressive party before it adopted

They are not equivalent, though.

Instead of fighting the auto industry giants over this bill, they left them out - that way they can focus on fighting the info industry giants. The auto industry giants are still being fought - just not over this bill. I think that if the l

I’m not arguing with your point, but let me offer another thought. The crux of this problem as I see it is that people consider themselves as separate from nature. The truth is that we are part of nature and the things we make are still par

My family and I just did this. We fly out to NZ on Tuesday. Although it wasn’t easy (I doubt this kind of move ever is) if your specialty is lacking in NZ and you already are contracting for a NZ company and you have no criminal record, it’

Not only is it hard to define what the principal engineering role is, it will be different at almost every company. The same goes for staff eng and even to a lesser degree senior eng.

I don’t know if it’s so much an issue of partisanship - you don’t see the democrats pulling this sort of science denial + distraction + reframing technique, and I think it only exacerbates the situation to lay blame on both sides equally. T

I had a VP of Engineering tell me once that 17 months is a standard tenure and that we should be happy with that. I think turnover was part of the strategy at that point though...
