Rust allows you define blocks of unsafe code in which certain checks aren't enforced by the compiler. In these sections you have pretty much as much freedom as you always do in C.

That's not at all a rookie move. Using two code bases, preferrably in different languages, makes issues in documentation and standardization far more obvious. The approach is quite costly but if you care more about quality and creating

Traces are an artifact produced by some JITs. Basically you observe loops and loops that satisfy certain criteria are traced, that is all operations performed within one iteration are stored. Such a trace is then optimized, compiled to mach

The IRC channel is an official channel, in fact it's by far the most important one of the PyPy project.

I'm not talking about bandwidth, I'm talking about coverage alone. Berlin for example are many people that are into Freifunk and such networks. There are many more people into technology and the culture and politics associated wit

Pretending someone else created something is a shitty thing to do anyway. Also the defacement thing is a rather special case. If you'd buy a painting and defaced or burned it, no one would care. I also don't see how it could possi

It's not far fetched to suggest people start seriously running peer-to-peer mesh networks, it's ridiculous. You won't be able to convince the people who know about them to run them and you'd need to convince far more peo

You can't give away your copyright in Germany but you can give someone an exclusive license to publish, sell or whatever else they might want to do.

There is no dry-ice necessary. You can cool something down to -70C and lower with a freezer as used in biology or medical labs. Such a freezer isn't even that fancy, they look and afaik work pretty much like the household appliance var

Why would it matter how many plates they have unless they stamp them ahead of time? The police issues their own plates as well and they manage fine.

They do, not that it has any noticeable impact. Weed is definitely widely tolerated. Many people are in favor of legalization not just among those that enjoy weed but also among people working in the justice system that recognize that prohi

Berlin is a special case because there are a lot of places that require protection such as government buildings, embassies and synagogues. There is also a protest somewhere in Berlin on almost any given day. On top of that there is the crim

I think you will find many people disagreeing with you on that. In Germany it's even illegal to insult people because in Germany dignity is considered to be a human right just as much as freedom of speech is.

The incitements of violence in question definitely qualify as ideological trash and right wing nonsense.

Germany does not intend to silence anti-refugee posts. Germany wants to stop illegal incitement of hatred. Such as promoting or even threatening to burn down asylum centers, to hurt or even kill refugees and those that help them. Those are

Generally it shouldn't, sometimes though it certainly should.

The memory used by the JIT will at some point remain constant but before that happens, it will grow as the JIT considers more and more traces to be worthy of compilation. It can take a very long time until the memory consumed by the JIT act

If you're problem is that you're memory bound, using a language that allows precise control over memory allocation and layout is certainly a good idea. The constant conflict might be annoying but using Rust or even C++ would certa

PyPy's JIT requires quite a bit of memory. CPython doesn't have a JIT so it doesn't share that problem. However PyPy also has optimizations specifically to keep memory usage down. Especially if you have a lot of objects, it&#

Afaik the Bundestag doesn't do pairing on controversial laws, such as this one, that get voted on using named voting.

That depends on what you consider "working". I would certainly consider most modern democracies to work, some slightly better than others. Certainly all modern democracies are stable and not threatened with catastrophic failure. T

The argument that democracy doesn't work because Nazis is a really bad one. The only thing that argument shows is that you have a embarrassingly superficial knowledge of German history.

Well, it's not that different from writing blog posts in the hopes that they show up here. Humans are social and connections even asymetric ones are valueable.

He's a celebrity and this got his name in the news. Isn't that more than enough of a reason?

This is certainly one reason for higher drug prices but I don't think it's the only one.

You're right. Changing the region and rebooting the device makes the app appear. That's still anything but discoverable though.

That's easily explained though. Students don't have a lot of money and textbooks are next to rent and in some cases tuition the most expensive thing you're going to buy as a student. Students in the US are already comfortable

Interesting that this is news considering that the News app isn't even available in Germany (among other countries?).

Machine learning doesn't make a difference between correlation and causation. No doubt such systems already help reproduce the inequalities present in the data they've been trained on.

Medical research is heavily government funded. I would be surprised, if the majority of the investment actually comes from pharma companies. Any R&D pharma companies invest in is also going to be heavily focused on areas that have a hig
