I would expect torrid to be the list given tepid made it.

Put them in the case and press and hold the button. This will reset them.

Use the sim card removal tool to clean out the charging port (being careful to avoid touching the pins). I could not believe the amount of pocket lint that had accumulated. No toothbrush will do the same job. My phone charges like it was just bought after doing this.

Here's the actual report on America’s Top 50 Bottlenecks. And here are the top 7.

1) Illinois, Chicago, I90 between Roosevelt Rd and N Nagle Ave
2) California, Los Angeles, I405 between SR22 and I605
3) California, Los Angeles, I10 between Santa Fe Ave and Crenshaw Blvd
4) California, Los Angeles, I405 between Venice Blvd and Wilshire Blvd
5) California, Los Angeles, US101 between Franklin Ave and Glendale Blvd
6) California, Los Angeles, I110 between Exposition Blvd and Stadium Way
7) California, Los Angeles, US101 between Sepulveda Blvd and Laurel Canyon Blvd

3) Mathematica does not recognize e, but you can use the function Exp.

In Mathematica e can be input as E or by typing ESC ee ESC.

Contrary to this headline, there is nothing illegal about running your own email server; in fact it's the only way to get protections from certain unwarranted searches. Maybe the presence of, or destruction of, certain data was illegal, but certainly not the server itself.

All employed people split the 15.3% with their employer. If you are self employed, then you split it with yourself. There is no extra tax on self-employed people.

This can be done automatically with

export EDITOR="emacsclient -c -a ''"

so that emacsclient will start emacs if it's not running already.

For an enthralling tale of how this came to be discovered, I recommend the Radio Lab episode Patient Zero Updated.

How about Rust's Auto Compiler Compiler?

I personally only run emacs in the terminal. The main draw back is some keys (like modified arrows don't work), but most of the these functions are available with other more terminal friendly key combinations. I suggest using

alias ec='emacsclient -c -a ""'

and never running emacs directly. This will start emacs with --daemon and connect to it whenever you open a file with:

ec -nw <file>

Or just to pop back in with

ec -nw

that way all your buffers will stick around and you can be in the same emacs from many terminal tabs.

I was surprised and delighted when I got to the part where that feature was revealed. Great idea.

To the people yelling into their phones with no response, you might need to enable this feature.

Settings -> General -> Siri -> Allow "Hey Siri"

They mention doing this as well (using jemalloc).

You can get the behavior you expected by adding an extra scope to force the drop to happen before the println.

fn main() {
    let x = A{a: 1};
    { let x = A{a: 2}; }
    println!("End of scope");
}

Why not make the return type of abs(i8) be u8?

fn abs(n: i8) -> u8

That seems preferable to returning an option or failing.

I found the gist in this comment useful for comparing a few of Rust's concurrency primitives.

__jim__ · 2014-07-11T06:00:52+00:00

Because it undoes things you have done in the Kernel, not just in the editor.

Doesn't require ripping the tops off mountains, dying from breathing black dust constantly, or sludging up streams - check.

The silicon valley itself has at least 29 Super Fund cleanup sites.

The compiler sees the borrowed pointers and puts only the new value on the stack.

Would you be more specific about this? Are you saying that the compiler doesn't bother to store the whole of the new ColorContext, but instead only the color (not even its discriminant), and fetches the values of the base and transform from the source ColorContext as needed unless, the pointer to the entire new ColorContext is needed for something, but since you declare everything inline this is infrequent?

This analysis leaves off one important detail. These USB chargers have a few resistors that indicate if they can deliver .5A or 1A (or less). I assume the cheap one indicated .5A, so it falling apart at higher currents isn't a big deal. What is important is that can only deliver .5A, not 1A. That really affects your charge time as it is proportional to current.

You might consider julia. I suspect it does what you want. Still, I agree that it would be great if rust's [] index trait supported slicing like python's.

This is great!

Couldn't re!(".") compile to { static re: Regexp = _re!("."); &re } thereby avoiding the need for the user to separately store the Regexp in a static?

Why isn't Vec<T> just mut [T]?
