Yeah, not that simple at all. To me though, the problem isn't the difficulty of defining the species. The problem is peoples' need to classify things (a problem that goes far beyond scientific classifications). But I recognize tha

I think the problem is the "species" construction itself. Remember, it's completely made up by people and has no obligation to reflect the sometimes messy reality on the ground. I'm more interested in what we can learn a

I think the accident statistics are a little misleading because as far as I'm aware (and please correct me if I'm wrong) Google only operates its driverless cars in good weather conditions. Not that Google doesn't have good r

I would love to see something similar to tame on linux. Just because linux also has SELinux doesn't mean it can't also have tame. I love the approach.

I put FreeBSD on my Raspberry Pi B a few months back. (Similar images were previously published as well.) I had to abandon the project, though, because there were very limited binary ports and base-system updates available. Compiling things

I think this article is a little misleading. I'm running a 2010 Macbook Pro that still works great. But the only reason I'm able to do so is because of its upgradability. Over its life, I doubled the ram and swapped in an SSD. The

Any way to protect a machine until apple publishes an update?

Oh, interesting. That definitely sounds like the source of my problem. I'll have to look in to it. Thanks.

Is that how they're doing it now? (I have experienced some trouble with cargo detecting changes to source files on my Mac, but I can't reproduce it reliably enough to file a bug.)

We may never know the answers to these questions. Though it is currently possible to say something about the atmospheric composition of some close exoplanets, and that ability will be improved with better telescopes, the planets that Kepler

Well not possible yet. Even Alpha Centauri is 4 light years away.

If there's too much congestion to provide LTE speeds in a certain area, they shouldn't be able to advertise LTE speeds in that area. Or they should build more capacity to manage the congestion.

Right, but if you write a library using only Rust "safe" code, the guarantee is back on the Rust team. To me, it would be better if libraries using unsafe code were marked.
106.
by gregwtmtno 11y ago
Sure. First, thanks for the writeup. I had imagined that the Rust standard library used safe code all the way down. (Whatever that meant, I hadn't put all that much thought into it.) But as you state, "everything is built on top o

This is important for anyone considering using Rust. I was mistaken about the meaning of Rust's safety guarantees before reading this.

I think the author is describing how the smartphone became revolutionary for uses that were beyond its initial incarnation. If you look at the sentence in context, the preceding paragraph says it is the smartphone that "became the basi

If you'll notice, the lines of attack closely mirror the anti-Obamacare lines. "700 regulations and no one has even read it!" is very close to the "No one — not one single member of Congress — has read the bill" Mic

It's funny that you're assuming that these people's statements are the exception to the rule and they're otherwise fairly open-minded and progressive. It seems like you're being presented with evidence to the contra

What worries me, is that the Snowden leaks didn't seem to have a strong emphasis on SSL encryption suggesting to me that they could circumvent it. For reference take a look at this article from September. http://www.reuters.

I think myth number 3, that saving children’s lives leads to overpopulation, misses the central concern. People are concerned about world resource depletion, not overpopulation. And while it is 100% true that bringing countries out of pover

It would be great if they added the price of course material in there. Maybe with real time pricing from Amazon or something like that.
