Yup, totally agree, that'd be an great addition to Kickstarter. Just shift the pre-sales out of the pledges and into 'we have some accountability' area for people who want to buy something. Some kind of phased release of the funds to the pr

Who is responsible for making sure project creators deliver what they promise? Every creator is responsible for fulfilling the promises of their project. Because projects are usually funded by the friends, fans, and communities around its c

This is a cool project, and I'm supporting it... ...however, sigh this is exactly what you should _not_ be using kickstarter for. Kickstarter is not a shop, and I hope that anyone who pledges towards them realizes that they are supporting

I agree, and they've done an excellent job with the tutorial documentation for it: http://doc.rust-lang.org/doc/tutorial.html I particularly like the natives and testing support, but I agree with what you said; I wish there was a way (may

Hi there! This is a thread about Rust. Please don't try to de-rail it with a conversation about Go.

I wish people would stop thinking of Kickstarter as a shop. It's not. The site is very clear in it's FAQ that once a project is funded, delivery of the promised perks is up to the project creator, not up to Kickstarter: http://www.kickstar

Hey, sorry if you took it the wrong way. I'm just pointing out some flaws I see in the text, and I fully acknowledge it's a work in progress and these may be solved over time. However, I will repeat. K&R is an excellent text. If you dis

I have some pretty serious issues with the content in LCTHW, and I would say that reading this book is absolutely not going to give you a deep understanding of how modern c programming is done. K&R is an excellent reference, and LCTHW c

Don't be silly. Of course I use Facebook. Most people do. I have no time of day for the developers of the spamware that fill it, but that's not the issue here. A plugin that does not in any way use the Facebook api is just a stand alone app

humm. Given that Facebook apps are completely dominated by large companies these days, I'm puzzled by how useful this would be. Are people really still building FB applications? I thought the only real action these days was in the mobile sp

The key issue here is that is was a plugin that acted like a robot on the site. Effectively they only thing that Facebook can do about that sort of application is ban people using it. However, just like the Wow Glider saga they chose to pre

Have you ever read the Facebook TOS fully? I challenge you to find a single game on the site that does not violate one of their extremely vaguely worded clauses. This is basically just a "We can, for any reason, at any time, ban you. Suck i

Yes indeed, astonishingly, people do thing for reasons other than money. However, even if this was a commercial project, this would still be the correct decision. Innovating new features, polishing and making Redis even better is exactly wh
