I invest in starch instead and use sucralose as a sweetener.

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

Sorry, but no. CS is uber conservative, but not remotely libertarian. They're fine with using the government to enforce morality, the antithesis of libertarian ideals. And the weed was definitely NOT driven by CS. The conservatives there think it's ruining their state.

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

This is true and I love this about Rust. However from a pragmatic point of view, I'm definitely spending a lot more time wrestling with the type system than I ever spent debugging memory errors in C. Overall I am less productive. As I said that may change, but I am not certain that it will.

To me the benefit of Rust's type strictness is not productivity, but security. I would not write any network-facing code in C today. I would choose Rust over C even with the productivity hit. But other languages, such as Go, might be a better choice if productivity is higher.

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.

In Berkeley, they beat several people unconscious, and that was just over a speaker who they didn't like.

That's crossing some serious lines, whether you find it justifiable or not.

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

There is nothing competitive about the wages in Denver when you're comparing to CA. Cost of living is lower than SV, but still one of the highest in the country.
dgfgfdagasdfgfa · 8 years ago
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's already happened. Colorado politics has already moved sufficiently from libertarian to leftist that I would no longer consider moving there.
dgfgfdagasdfgfa · 8 years ago
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.
