This is the best talk I've seen on Rust so far. http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Rust The tutorial is also pretty good (as are the supplemental tutorials), but they don't yet give you the full picture. For that you'll have to play and e

A lot of the changes for 0.6 are removing keywords from the grammar. In this case, the `static` keyword has been removed, so there must be another way to tell if a method is static. Another reason might be so that self can be passed in a wa

It may be a role focused on hype, but many of the people who hold these roles are developers themselves. I have no idea if Adria codes, but many evangelists are more than just marketers. This is true of any job–you never know who is a progr

I prefer live chat, but more than half the time I've used it, it hasn't worked for various reasons. Sometimes it's similar to the OP, sometimes they ask you immediately for a phone number to call you, etc. It's getting better. It's incredib

If you are in the US and currently employed with a group health plan, COBRA will cover you for 18 months after you leave. You pay the full cost, so it's not cheap, but it's there. You have to elect to do this within 60 days of leaving I thi

I got in once after 4 6 minute waits. I was stuck on the wallet loading screen as I watched the timer go to zero. I got in again and hit buy, only to be told there was some problem talking to the merchant account. Kicked back to the "we fou

"I rarely use anything but a weather app, maps, and the web browser, though." This and cost were the reasons I initially thought about switching. I do almost all of my real iOS use on my iPad. The phone just does calls, checking email, and

I'll check out gReader Pro. Thanks for the tip. I agree about Google's reader app. It's horrible, but that's what I've been using so far. As an aside, I'll say that I've been trying out Google Voice and continue to find it a little confusin

The design is quite a bit nicer. This is not just a function of iOS widgets, as the design isn't particularly native. I think the reason for this is that the Gmail iOS app recently got a huge overhaul and a lot of attention, but the Android

You are not required to user either browser, and for example you can easily set the default browser on Android to Firefox. On iOS you must use the system provided webkit as other apps aren't allowed to download and execute code. Alternate b

Why worry about this when the LG panels have horrible ghosting? I had to have mine replaced, and luckily got a Samsung panel (this was on the original Retina 15" hardware, though apparently this happens elsewhere too). I've had lots of prob
