Seems sketchy. While Postgres can do full text search and it may help you in your case, you can set up Elasticsearch for this sort of quantity of data in like an afternoon, if that. Also, these 'advanced features' people are t

That's also not the relevant number. In places like Chicago, what you end up with is a tiny proportion of the population (say 2000) that is perhaps 100 times more likely to be murdered and is a major drain on your city's image. Th

Thing is, with lightning it is dead easy because you're talking about what is essentially a straight line through the atmosphere. In a city, you get more issues: double datapoints from the gun and the bullet, multipath effects, etc e

what if they were to not do that, and instead just email them privately (as hypothesised)?

Yes, we do. That does not give us a dichotomy of unconditional free speech vs totalitarian regime.

by CHY872 11y ago
Then your definition of free speech is different from that of most people. For example, under your definition it would be legal to falsely testify in court. It would be legal to publish child pornography.

So if Edward Snowden were to come back to the US, he'd be prosecuted for misreporting travel plans and foreign contacts but no more? Seems suspect.

So if some serial killer type were to discover an easy way to make a nerve gas from products bought solely from Wal-Mart, you'd rather that they have the right to widely publish the recipe than it be repressed due to the entirely reaso

The supreme court has numerous times affirmed limits to free speech. For example, the espionage act has been ruled constitutional. Military officers are prohibited from releasing classified information. You're in trouble if you call in

Just as some additional information, being prosecuted for publishing the blueprints to a very dangerous weapon is a textbook (as in, I read it in a textbook) example of where it is generally believed that your right to free speech does not

The first line would be the government. This is what is expected in this sort of case. The defendant could then appeal, and eventually it would reach the Supreme Court, who would then decide. This is the general process for appealing all la

There's a second performance reason (although I can't comment on whether it's relevant in this case); it's cache banking. Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors load data into L1 cache in 64 byte chunks. This is split ac

Doesn't sound particularly secure. Problems include that third key in offline storage, which sounds vulnerable to social engineering.

You seem to be describing a high-maintenance search engine, if I'm not mistaken. The thing is, to my knowledge most academics keep up to date on most everything that is happening in their field; they don't need this high level ove

There won't be. Scientific intuition and the available studies suggest that apart from perhaps in the immediate vicinity of where they pump the salt back in, the effect is minimal, no matter how much desalination you perform. It's

'I don't want to be paying X subsidies' is very tired rhetoric which can be applied to every industry under the sun, and you are describing a class of people who you have almost no knowledge of as ignorant. Furthermore, the p

I didn't work there; I went somewhere else for a number of reasons. I wouldn't have sucked, but it wouldn't have played to my strengths - my work would probably have been very average.

Ah, but if you combine it with the fact that when I did study those things I didn't really enjoy them, you can probably see why I look back on the experience with healthy scepticism :P

He's making the argument that functional programming is bad. If it were a terrible design decision then the language precluding its implementation (as he claims functional languages do) would be a positive or at least not a negative. S

Sketchy, but in the other direction. In high school I did a project that involved a support vector machine, and over the course of this I learnt how they worked to a reasonable level of detail. Two years later, I interviewed at a large SV c

Remember that there's currently a backlog, I think right into June. Obviously Apple could have created that artificially to drive consumer interest, but it's still a datapoint.

The homepage says: Disable transmission of partial queries, keywords, metrics to central servers without consent. Builds reproducible, modifications auditable.

That's my entire point; if Clang did not exist then Apple would have had to contribute the Swift frontend back with the GPL or write an entire compiler backend, as they did for Obj-C. Now, Clang is competitive and they can keep the fro

by CHY872 11y ago
The technical reason is probably that Obj-C has multiple stable implementations (which agree almost entirely), the GNU or Clang frontends, which makes it easy to write your own implementation because you can study what those two do (in the

Sorry, that came off overly harsh, I think. Anyway, static analysis is really cool :)
269.
by CHY872 11y ago
You could do with some learning about what's possible with static analysis. For example, will the Rust compiler prove that your program must follow some state machine? (SLAM2). Will it compute a useful upper bound on the stack usage fo

by CHY872 11y ago
Ada is a good decision in this field. Nevertheless, the parent was comparing C to Rust, where the language is immature, has no static analysis tools (to pick up the most important bugs), no well defined semantics and is entirely unproven in
