This seems like it would result in sub-optimal insulin spikes.

Sorry, the antecedent of "it" was "colorado" there, not colorado springs.

Productivity is certainly very high in go compared to rust; however, I've found that confidence about how the code executes is much easier to acquire in rust if it compiles.

Regarding the type system, it's definitely a sharp learning curve; there are certain patterns that are trivial in C++ that I still don't quite understand how to best translate. I suspect non-lexically-bound lifetimes will help a lot here iff they are viable.

However, debugging is a complete breeze compared to C++ because of a) the borrow tracker and b) the errors are much more readable because of a general lack of template soup.

Is any of the news content on snapchat worth watching? Scrolling through their entire offering seems to offer less information than a casual glance at the front page of a newspaper.

> In the videos I saw, Antifa and BLM were stalking (and eventually hitting) people in Charlottesville with bats.

Well, which one was it? That's a massive difference in identity.

Have any numbers you'd care to furnish? Cost of living may be one of the highest, but you can easily get a 2 bedroom or a house in the burbs for $1500. It's quite easy to allocated less than a third of your take home to rent, unlike SV, Seattle, NYC, Boston, etc.

It depends entirely on where in the state you are—the liberal places are mostly Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder.

Colorado springs is one of the most conservative cities in America. In fact, I'd argue it's more libertarian than ever—hence the weed.

Denver is even better—competitive wages w/ washington & lower cost of living.

I'd be interested if you could demonstrate there's a strong correlation between that and peak traffic—but I suspect things like GOT premiers will be highly competitive with netflix.

Furthermore, this is highly cacheable content. Again, netflix's tech is impressive, but at its core caching is a problem that has been solved and solved again. You aren't going to differentiate yourself by being a dumb pipe.

I highly, highly, highly doubt that netflix's tech is going to be a differentiating factor when people choose them so they can watch Kimmy Schmidt.

> Sadly, they don't have debuggers or reference compilers, just written language definitions and consultable output collections.

Why on earth would you want this? That's tantamount to replacing the court system itself, and I definitely prefer juries and judges to compilers and debuggers.

> You don't say, "I am learning mathematic", unless you are a cretin.

So why is "maths" plural? It's sure as hell not countable. What is "a math"?

At least "mathematic" makes sense—you can deconstruct the morphology to understand this is "a lesson", i.e. the gerund of "to learn". It's also the natural english adjectival form of the greek word.

"maths" is just weird. You might as well use "magicks".

Why is configuring displays so damn difficult? It was never clear to me why there needed to be so many tools (xrandr, xorg, X, startx, xinit, xanorama) to just get a basic display working at the max resolution when other operating systems manage to have some sane plug-and-play behavior.

All of this seems to render linux pretty useless for hot-pluggable displays. I'm sure ubuntu has some sort of solution (I never use the desktop version); why can't this be integrated at the level of the X server (or hell, the graphics driver) itself? Is X too firmly baked to adjust to the needs of its users? Will wayland address this?
