If I were in charge of broadcasting a communication signal into space, I'd make it a very obviously square wave, or something else that doesn't usually occur on its own. So it really depends on if the signal was meant to be seen a

From what I've read it's highly unlikely the dead will be tested. Just cremate them and move on. At least, that's what it seems like with all the tales of death certificates with cause of death as "Unknown viral pneumoni

And Jesus praised the widow for casting in all she had. And Elijah took the last of the flour of that one family. The church is hardly unique in Christian theology in asking for sacrifices that requires faith. Also church policy has changed

But how much money did they save by not notifying users, who would then demand a new battery? You're view is right if the only reason they didn't inform people was the engineering demand. I personally don't think that was the

Personally, I'd like to know when I can just fix something instead of getting an entirely new one. "This thing is mysteriously slow, so I guess I'll get a new one" is much more profitable for apple, and more user hostile

Why shouldn't you bother? Lots of things opposing a worthwhile attribute in your life makes your own efforts in that area more important, not less. I'd rather in control of my own development, even it requires more deliberate effo

But you almost can. There are tools like mutagen[0] that compile modified versions of your source mode, and if all your tests pass, then your tests don't actually test the logic that was changed. Now there's a lot of nuance to it

An incredibly huge environmental failure, though not one I've seen framed as such, is their counterfeit problem. Shipping a bunch of useless (counterfeit) stuff probably exacts a huge environmental toll.

It seems about as charitable as a profit driven corporation, which was being evaluated. On a less snarky note: We've been repeatedly shown that companies act in their own self interest, and put out as cover reasons that are more social

Have you looked at elixir? It's pretty close to async everywhere, though dramatically different than Go I think.

I'm in the same spot. Given the large number of companies who are willing to state that they use Rust ( https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users ) without being able to find openings that are explicitly for Rust,

That's how I read it. It might happen selectively based on some heuristic though (that would be my guess).

I would have expected it to be explicitly mentioned if considered.

Ah, it wasn't just things that needed doing, but things they couldn't do anything about. But I agree with your point generally.

I had a friend once who couldn't sleep well because of the things on their mind. Journaling seemed to be the magic bullet for them. They just wrote everything down that was on their mind. And each day they didn't have quite as muc

Huh, I'd never seen a pipe method with the # as the placeholder before. That seems like a pretty nice way to make it flexible.

It doesn't mean your code is better off, but it makes auditing your code a lot easier. Rust gives you lots of good tools so that you can fence in your unsafe and restrict it to a module (source code file), such that if you audit the mo

So, for the uptake, you can see a large list of companies here: https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users The not hiring but using bit is based on not seeing Rust jobs despite companies actively using Rust, and many a

Rust has seen lots of quiet uptake. What you don't see is hiring for people for Rust because most organizations don't experience a whole-sale shift to Rust, and you just retrain people on the inside. I'd wager there are lots
