[QUOTE=kaukassus;46010803]When I first started out with Rust, I had so much problems with &str and String and it's differences.
Now with the overhauled doc, it was so much easier for me to learn it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but it's still far from done, which is my biggest problem with it.

What?
[QUOTE=wingless;46010820]Yeah, but it's still far from done, which is my biggest problem with it.[/QUOTE]
Yup. Still waiting for 1.0 until I do anything serious with it.
Until then, I stick to python, PHP and golang.
[QUOTE=nikomo;46006306]Learning Python, 5th edition, by Mark Lutz (O'Reilly).
It's an intimidating bible when you first get your hands on it, but it's a really good book for just reading a page or two, putting it down, and then picking it up again.
It's helped tons that I made a little bookmark thing out of a little piece of some sort of fabric, that I got from my mother. Not sure what it's normally used for, but the material doesn't matter, any good old string would probably work.
The thing with strings is that they're immutable, though.[/QUOTE]
I've got the 4th edition, it's great

Never really saw it in stores before. And my Mother never bought some.

Peanut Butter is overrated. Just like bacon.

That's a bacon maple bar, we'll pretend maple=peanut butter in this case. I've had these exact doughnuts before, and they're pretty tasty.
Just saw this advert on Facebook, and it just seems so badly done.

Selling Homes from £699 seems like they're selling super cheap homes, but they're selling an advertising package to help sell your home from £699.
I wonder how much confusion it's gonna cause

You shut your whore mouth
I don't like peanut butter
the smell bothers my nose
the only reason I have it is because my dog is spoiled brat

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46012142]Slap him with a computer fact of the day.[/QUOTE]
Sometimes people want a specific computer fact, but whatever.
So before SRAM and DRAM, computer temp memory was a thing called "core memory". Very bulky, since it used actual wires in a hand-made lattice (literally - they usually hired seamstresses to do the work, threading the memory by hand). You might have already known this - we've got a lot of retrocomputing enthusiasts in here, and core memory is about as retro as it gets. That's not the computer fact though.
The Space Shuttles used this type of memory, since it was still lighter than most alternatives, and was very reliable for the time. Unlike SRAM or DRAM, core memory is persistent - data is retained after losing power. When Challenger exploded, they picked up all the pieces, and were even able to read the data off of the core memory (which survived a hydrogen explosion, then falling fifteen kilometers, then sinking into the ocean until recovery). Because there were multiple processors throughout the Shuttle, they were able to reconstruct the exact order in which everything came apart. Which is pretty fucking cool, if you ask me. I don't think you could do that with modern systems, since it would all be on pretty much the same chip.

Oh yeah dude, I am silly I forgot you're using online. See if your UI for Office 365 Online has this little arrow at the top;I usually just sign into OneDrive.com. Hopefully it's similar in Office Online, I actually downloaded the suite to my computer so everything syncs automatically from my desktop.Hope that helps man!

I have this idea on my head but I doesn't have the money to do it yet:
Banana Pi with torrent downloader, OwnCloud, Bittorent Sync, IR remote so it can control my air conditioner, and a light switch pusher all controlled by a webapp and/or voice recognition
Every morning, when I wakes up, it will tell me using text to speech about current weather, emails, news and stuffs. The more I think about this the more it seems like sci-fi stuff

This was just the actual weave, so you could really get a good look at it. I wish I had a photo handy.
Can anyone here recommend a monitor for me? I can't make a decision for myself.

Those are the ones I'm looking at. Are any of them worth the money? Any other recommendations instead? I'm really indecisive about spending this much money on a monitor.
Decided it was time to backup my photobucket to a local server.
My god the selection of applications to do this suck.

I'm actually using office 365 for business but according to the help text and what not, it seems like all Office 365 Business users get 1TB of storage each, it's just that information is on a help document but I can't find the actual meter that will tell you specifically how much you've actually used out of your 1TB storage. Also the Office 365 for business for student accounts don't include the actual native clients for word, PowerPoint, Excel and so on which kinda sucks but oh well.
The fact that I don't have to pay for that 1TB of storage (again) is pretty nice.
Edit: OK it turns out I actually do have 1024GB of storage. But according to the help document, the file size limit for a single file is 2GB, not 10GB as announced earlier. I guess the help document either needs to be updated or the file size restriction change only applies to personal account and not business ones.
Holy shit Microsoft, it could have been easier if you put it on the left pane just like what Google Drive does. Geez.
What's the coolest thing you guys got for free or a ridiculous low price?
I got a Mac G3 tower for free. I'm still looking for a use.
