Does Rust fundamentally guarantee that if you make a struct, its fields will lay out in memory in the order that you defined them? Can it be used to interact with APIs (really ABIs) who expect a C struct (or pointer to one)?

I think my main frustration with stuff like Go and Swift in this case is that their structs are not binary-compatible with C structs in this way because they rearrange things to be better aligned/packed/whatever.

I really want to believe that a single switch doesn't control whether people in the back of the plane can breather or not...

From what I understand the phone won't stop ringing so clearly there is strong demand for something like this out there.

Luxury car rental company? Please tell me more (like do you have a website??)

I ask because I know of a couple of luxury car rental companies, but there is one ore more things about each of them that make them exceedingly unpleasant to deal with. I would be interested to try doing business with a luxury car rental company that is run by people who also read HN - seems to be a good signal for not-totally-fucked-up business practices.

http://www.apple.com/displays/ still says that only MBP and iMac can do it.

Uber and Lyft and self-driving cars will shortly solve drinking and driving and then my final complaint about the suburbs will be gone.

Except it's not charming at all... it's much colder than the rest of California (it honestly feels like a different planet), MUNI absolutely sucks compared to any transit system in the civilized world (NYC/Europe/parts of Asia), and the homeless problem is the worst I've seen in any major urban center.

San Francisco has a long way to go before I'd consider it a world-class city.

On one of these:

Designing live performance environments in Max is awesome, but laptops just are not designed for the rigors of the road. They are delicate creatures that stand in awkwardly, at best, for musical instruments. Max running on the Receptor would be incredible, and hopefully not too challenging considering the environment is largely self-contained with very few external dependencies.

As it happens, I was going to build something like that for an app I'm due to start tomorrow, but now I don't have to.

Sometimes things are presented modally here but get navigated to normally over there - and once again you're mixing metaphors, implementing some navigation in the storyboard and some of it in code.

I thought the same thing would be true with Auto Layout, but luckily that one seems to have been a bit more "baked" when it shipped, insofar as I've not had any trouble implementing complex views with it WITHOUT ever writing any code.

Still I wish them the best of success and I hope this changes lives in a big way like I know it has the potential to do.

Congratulations to the team!

Do you get $70k worth of car when you spend $70k on a Model S? Absolutely. You get something that can hold a candle to if not surpass the $70k BMW M5 in every way. But the curve isn't linear - the $49k barebones Model S is nowhere near as useful as the BMW 528 you'd get for the same money.

I quite like the Acura TSX - small, luxurious, $30k. I'd happily pay $40 for Tesla's equivalent.

All this to match the performance and luxury of the Acura TL I could get for $40k.

Is it really the best car in the world if it's impractical or out of reach for most people?

EDIT: Yes, I know all car manufacturers use a deceptively low base price and then nail you on "options" like air conditioning. Frankly I've often wished there was a law, or at least a gentleman's agreement in the auto industry, mandating that something can be an "option" for a maximum ten years before it's considered part of the basic accoutrements in a modern car and gets rolled in to all units shipped. Also, Tesla prides themselves outwardly on not being like the rest of the auto industry, but inherits its worst practice and magnifies it tenfold - base price $49 but for something usable you're pushing $70.

Yes, it's a bit buried. I missed the dropdown on the right. Speaking of Twilio, their docs are very good for stuff like this. They use a big obvious segmented control for switching between XML and JSON, for example.
