There was a guy at the last Rust Seattle meetup that was doing procedural music generation in Rust and said he was having a blast.


I'll believe it when I try it.


This is amazing. With some camera smoothing in post production you could have shots that were previously only possible with a helicopter shot. I can see this being just as influential if not more than the gopro.


yes, but many drones like the DJI Phantom already do that, and better than AR Drones and possibly the Bebop. They also feature GoPro Mounts but are obviously more expensive if you add the cost of the GoPro.


I disagree with the comment syntax highlighting. If I'm trying to fix a bug in some code, I'll read all the comments and then try to focus on what the code is actually doing. I don't need the comments trying to steal my focus away. Some times, I'll get vim to color comments the same as my background so they'll be invisible.


My 5 year old macbook pro handles the development version of jquery (10,309 loc) with syntax highlighting just fine. It can be (a bit) janky when scrolling through the whole thing, but it's not very noticeable. Local edits / search are as fast as vim.


Food is more expensive and time consuming than sex.

I've never heard anyone say that sex is a chore, but I often feel that way cooking food that I don't want to eat, but have to because I'm hungry.


Sex is way more expensive. Most of your life's spending is spent indirectly on sex.


> written on bathroom walls

I don't know where you went to school, but I certainly didn't see up-to-date gossip on hundreds of students plastered to the bathroom walls.

> passed around in notes

Notes can be viewed by one person at a time and can be entirely removed by a single person.

People have always been mean, but now people can be mean very efficiently.


you must be much younger or have gone to a better school...

people have been mean on the internet for quite some time now.

I predict the ease of meanness will make more of it... so much in fact it becomes diluted.


What? Is unordered traversal of a hashmap unexpected? I would be surprised if it did anything different.


In Java, you could write an unittest that inserts 10 fixed items in a hashmap, checks if the first one is "foobar", and it'd always pass, since the order is predictable - it's essentially sorted by the fixed hashfunction of those keys.

In Golang, it'd change between each iteration.


Would it be feasable to show what an example profile/job-description looks like before signing up?


Yeah, we'll put a better example of the profile on the homepage--probably link to a live one.

You can see an example of my profile: http://www.heapsortjobs.com/casey


If I'm not mistaken, it was never planned for Servo to have it's own Javascript engine, it just does layout. Most benchmarks just test JS execution time, so you wouldn't even run those ones.


I don't know what this means, but we're totally implementing the DOM and JavaScript execution using SpiderMonkey.
