I wish I could help Assange. This guy deserves a medal, and barely any country has enough morals to host him. Here we have a presidential candidate seriously saying "Can't we just drone this guy?" (Hillary Clinton, obviously)

I know about Magisk and it's a hassle. Not worth doing for pokemon go.

>Niantic is not beholden to anyone to release anything, add any features, or do anything. I disagree. Some people with rooted devices paid money for this game and now they can no longer play it. In any other industry, this would give ris

When I have a choice between Pokemon Go or root, I choose root every single time. I loathe Niantic for this stupid decision. The equivalent would be if Riot decided that League of Legends can only be played on PCs with a guest account and n

Yeah, and this extends even to the purest studies of nature, like mathematics, as we know from Gödel's incompleteness theorems. It's just that e.g. whether or not the Rieman Hypothesis is true doesn't influence whether the st

Oh, free speech and criticism is okay as long as it's moderated and appropriate... Well played. The work of psychology researchers influences our LAWS. They influence how I can live my life. It's a very personal thing. I will crit

Exactly. The "shared nothing lifecycle" really lets the programmer (knowingly or unknowingly) embrace RESTful design. Too bad the language doesn't have strict typing like Java. Otherwise it'd be even more convenient and

Can you link to a story that reports a 'fact' that is proven false? Because yes, I see the political-right spin on the facts on Breitbart but I've never seen them report something that is flat-out wrong.

The remarkable thing that happens when the state funds rent like that is increasing rents until the original situation is reached again or the bubble bursts. We already have enough trouble with the low or even negative interest rates that l

Depends a lot on the developer. If it's a youngster figuring out things, we are talking about thousands of hours. A senior developer might "only" take hundreds.

When I was writing the post, I thought about balsa but I was too lazy to adjust my metaphor. I could have just said "gun safe" and made the point about metal again.
762.
by Kenji 10y ago
When someone talks about 'light' metal, I assume they incorrectly refer to the weight of a solid cube (cm^3) of the metal, that is, the density. A wireframe, to me, is not a metal. It consists of metal but its structure, including

The camera should directly upload footage to a server that is not owned by the police but a different branch of government that does not have any incentives to shield the police.

Thanks. I always wanted to learn modern C++, but there was no such lecture at uni and in my spare time I was only able to fill the gaps partially, learning about the obvious things like the auto keyword and move constructors and the like.

Oh, I misunderstood you. I thought you would write code without a single new or delete at all. So, everything is either living on the stack or using built-in allocations like vector and the like.

It's really simple, I have a table hanging right by my screen that has type of Operand1 and type of Operand2 and then the type of the result. It has never been an issue. In general, the result is always cast towards the larger and unsi

Uhh... RAII is perfectly compatible with new/delete. You just have to put all new calls in the constructor and all delete calls in the destructor.

The difference between drive-by viruses and downloadable exe viruses that have to be manually executed is like the difference between someone who pretends to be your relative to convince you to give him money and someone who robs you at gun

Phew, for a moment there I thought it was a drive-by installer. I am mortified of these as it already happened to me while casually browsing the web. Nah, it's just a plain old exe you download and execute if you're dumb.

Sure, this kind of pressure from an advisor breaks labor laws, but a postdoc is going to do this anyways because their contract is short-term, and if they don't rack up an achivement in that time, they're either have to be 1) luc

In fact we know that life circumstances matter in triggering these conditions That doesn't mean it's not physiological in nature. Life circumstances can trigger a heart attack. I think it is not only honest but extremely helpful

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Who is cutting onions here? I think as time goes on, we will find more and more physiological sources for severe mental health problems, and that is a great step towards proper diagnosis and, hopefully, cur

Both the Brexit effect and the speculative chaos you propose are very short term. The fluctuations do not correspond in any way to the performance of the state and economy backing these currencies. Therefore, I think that if it benefits CNY

Where does personal responsibility come in to play? Haven't you been following politics? We are in the 21st century right now. It doesn't. The concept of personal responsibility is being eroded day by day.

I like anything that is engaging. Sci-fi, fantasy, crime fiction. Doesn't really matter. I don't think the books are the problem. I am in the middle of a very, very good book ("Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman") an

Not to mention, there are groups like MENSA, of people who have a very high IQ, yet a lot of them are no more productive than the person of average intelligence. We are far away from having a good measure of intelligence.

I couldn't agree more. That's how it is where I live and there aren't many brilliant people who are barred from getting good education because of financial problems.

Affirmative action is destructive. You are setting up people to fail by promoting them into positions they are not fit to take. Either they are qualified or they aren't. End of discussion. It's the same way with marks. Nobody is h
