This is still one of Rust's major shortcomings. Async IO, particularly async database and network IO, are still pretty much nonexistent in any practical sense. Some libraries are in the works, but for the time being, I'm still pas

Seriously. I'm kind of surprised about this.

The majority of the CS degree isn't very useful to dev work. Most of what you'll use in your day job you'll learn on your own, or on the job. A CS degree is mostly academic, and also mostly a sampling of a bunch of different

Put another way: all security is security through obscurity. Whether we're guessing URLs or brute-forcing passwords, logging HTTP traffic or keylogging someone's machine. I hardly see the difference. It's not easy to tell whe

No, the goal is to remove Lucas' artistic touches and get as close as possible to the original theatrical releases. Color correction means reversing all the color changes that Lucas made to the movies. Where higher quality film of a

Yeah, I'll be cancelling my Netflix account when this happens.

They don't even need to detect proxies. When you sign up for Netflix you give them billing information. If you are a Canadian customer, they can always show you Canadian Netflix no matter where you are. Otherwise, if they want to let y

Was I the only one expecting a list of screen resolutions?

First, every person has rights, even criminals. Those rights are limited in some way after having been convicted of a crime. But your real mistake is in the _presumption_ that somebody is a criminal. Convicted pedophiles shouldn't have

Just goes to show that a lot of the "slowness" in Java, et al, comes down to implementation details.

You aren't the least bit suspicious about a 98% election result?

I'm thinking more the case where my case class has more fields than are in one database table. For example, what if the Person class has a List[Address] whose values are stored in another table? I guess you would suggest separating the

Does it require every field of the case class to be present in the result set? Can it handle missing columns or fields with default values?

The entire idea of daylight savings time is idiotic. In a thousand years we will be looked back on and they will sneer at our lack of intelligence for adopting such a silly ritual.

Really? This is capitalism and a free market economy. They sold the tickets, it's their own damn problem. If they don't like it, they should fix their ticketing systems. If anybody needs to be shamed, it's the airlines themse

None of these things are really a problem any more. Scala has come a long long way since 2011.

I use github for contributing to open-source projects where I want it to be public and accessible. For everything else, including at work, I/we use privately hosted solutions like GitLab, where we control our own data.

Please for the love of god just don't use Slack. We have learned absolutely nothing. Let's all jump on the bandwagon of another closed-source, proprietary, walled-garden service and hand over all of our private intra-company commu

By uploading your content to some private corporation, you might be giving them the right to do whatever they want with it? Big surprise there!

Whether you've read the contract is entirely meaningless when there are only three competitors in your market who all offer the exact same contract and have the freedom to tell you to fuck off if you don't want to sign it. It is a

There is a lot more at play in the middle east than "they never really wanted it". As I wrote elsewhere, it's hard enough in a vacuum to overthrow a dictatorship and start a free and functional democracy. It's even harde

Also, there is a lot more at play in the middle east than simply whether the people want democracy or stability. There is plenty of foreign interference going on from USA, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc... it's hard enough to overth
