You're not alone, I have overheard many hours of this type of speech and never figured out how to listen to it. I think it is something you have to work up to a bit at a time.

> My first job out of college I got paid $42,000. ... This was in 2013. Me too. I was able to get it from $41,000 to $42,000 by asking for more. I'm up to $48,000 now! Nice job.

The post you responded to was asking for an easier way to support multiple attempts without having to sit there typing all the nearby variants of a mostly-known passphrase. I'm not sure what part of this post addressed the parent post

Not sure it is fair to say "Google just released Lullaby" in the submission title: 1. The README.md file indicates "Disclaimer: This is not an official Google product." 2. This site's guidelines prohibit editorializ

Would you be so kind as to add (2014) to the end of the title? Since the post starts off by saying JSON-LD was made official "last week", it could mislead readers who don't notice the date in a small font between the title an

I am impressed by the writing style. Very clear and delivers a solid explanation. What relation, if any, would this type of system have with "persistent data structures", a term I have seen used in some browsing of functional prog

Nice. I had a similar problem when I rode my bicycle to work daily. I really didn't want to have to carry anything more than my phone. I ended up hacking a bluetooth earpiece into a remote after seeing the idea online. It was 100% re

It's part of the checklist: https://github.com/brson/rust-api-guidelines#interoperabilit... Maybe the checklist should get a more prominent link or notice in the blog post. It took me a while to find it.

Did you consider a low power NAS approach? Spending somewhere around $20 per month on electricity for a home server seems like a lot to me. Maybe if it was hosting a handful of VMs for various purposes, but I suppose you don't want to

Yes, that is very nice, but it doesn't help if I am not a maintainer of the upstream project. Since I haven't used it, I'm not sure, but it seems like it would also help avoid the case of "Can you squash this before I ac

One thing I wish GitHub made easier is responding to a pull request with a patch rather than encouraging reviewers to type up a bunch of suggestions that the original submitter will have to turn into a patch themselves. If you have a better

Thank you! At least I'm not the only person who believes this would be the expected behavior. I'm still half expecting someone else to pop out and explain that I'm way wrong, though.

I am not sure if this directly applies to your post, but it came to mind when I read the section about `extern crate`. It seems like the Cargo system is relied upon by almost all Rust users, and I am not sure if the following is an ergonom
