Goodreads doesn't get enough love from Amazon, It always seemed really odd to me that the recommended books in the kindle store were better than goodreads even though it's all the same company. It seems like a wasted opportunity. There are also numerous bugs I've ran into on the app that I just work around.

HA! That error handling was one of the more tedious parts of golang to me. Though Rust has it's own quirks, the error handling was one of the more compelling reasons for me to switch my side projects to use Rust instead of Go. That being said, Go is much more fully featured than Rust and a fantastic language.

The blame is always shifted to the consumers, the logic being that consumers would make more sustainable decisions if they really cared about it, totally ignoring that it's either prohibitively expensive for many or almost impossible to judge the sustainability for many products.

I'm a Canadian residing in the United States and have been on a TN for a few years and was selected in the H1B lottery this year.

Would the visa ban prevent me from re-entering after October when I receive the H1B? Would it also prevent me from switching jobs before January when it expires?

He was the first zoo animal to be given anti-depressants.

Fantastic book! I only wish there were more in depth books like this. I've read Countdown to zero day as well almost immediately afterwards and was similarly engaged.

+1 for rustlings, it's fantastic, I went through it right after reading through the book. The books are good, but it's hard to compete with being hands on like rustlings is.

I remember reading it was everyone's favorite weekend language. There's certainly more people using it over the weekend than using it professionally. Maybe that's why there's so much of here today.

I read a little over 50 books this year as a personal challenge. I think only one of them wasn't worth reading and only because it was really out of my wheel house and I just didn't enjoy it. It took up a considerable amount of time, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It was absolutely worth doing and I learned a lot that I wouldn't have come across on the internet without specifically looking for it.

Start with something small and work your way up. If you're on hacker news, maybe read a science fiction book, there's likely a movie out there that you enjoy, start with something that was adapted from a book.

Exactly this, and if looks good from a social perspective that's just an added bonus.

My guess is there's more to it than that. I think that they have less confidence in the financial prospects of those projects as well.

Because Keystone is in the name, and the keystone XL pipeline has been on Canadians, and Americans minds for about a decade now, that's the only reason this is getting attention right now. the proponents for pipelines will see this as a reason to finish Keystone because they believe that it will be safer. Others will argue that a larger, newer one will only increase the risks of a larger spill. It's been a big talking point in Canada more recently with the Trans mountain pipeline as well.

Maybe, but it's working great already for everyday use. Besides, Google does nerdy stuff like this all the time and people love them for it.

I've been using it full time for a bit longer than two years. In the beginning I think I had to use "g!" to search on google maybe 1 / 5 times, now I really only search on google maybe once a month and when I do I often don't find any better results. It's really come a long way from the first time I tried using it 5 or 6 years ago.

At this point it's good enough that I think I could recommend someone else switch to it without needing to change their search habits.

I use vim binding in the shell a lot, typically for stringing a bunch of commands together. For replacing one word would using the `^` work?

ex: `$ echo "hello"` > hello `$ ^hello^goodbye` > echo "goodbye" > goodbye

Unemployable with millions of dollars to invest in whatever it is they want. It's not all roses, but it's not as if their lives are over.
