If you want to go a little overboard it's possible to use the C abi and write a thin wrapper in C++.

Uhh, I agree with you. But what I don't get is where you see the contradiction in what we both said. Where do we disagree?

I love the idea! Since I personally believe that every person has a 'perfect match'. To those who don't, consider the following: 1) You either do or don't get along with certain people. 2) This is determined by how they

Feeling guilty about something does not imply guilt in the absolute sense of the word. Also you've proven nothing about anything. I don't see how a single comment can account for any/all complaints that people in the Dutch wo

Many instructions on your cpu are already 'micro coded' instead of wired into the hardware. I'm not 100% sure on how it works, or what it is. But it sounds like what you're proposing could already be implemented in moder

Haha, yes. A friend of mine went to live in the states for a while. The first time he saw people taking their unfinished meals with them he thought he was eating in some kind of restaurant/food shelter combination. Needless to say, he

It 'wants' what we programmed it to want. It's not that the machine decided that it wanted to build paperclips. It's what we've told it to do. The _means_ to build paperclips however is where the 'intelligence&

I can't imagine all the technologies and skills you guys have acquired. If I may derail the conversation a little bit, may I ask if/how you use the things you've learned today? I mean, is it things like paradigms that have st

But then you'd still be computing the velocity on the server side, only now you're checking if the reported velocity is legitimate or not.

On the C++ to C translators: The first actual C++ compiler was actually a trans-compiler to C (actually the language was still called cFront back then, but basically it's the first version of C++[0]). So in that case, the C++ to C comp

Hmm I'm not sure if a vpn will protect you from this attack. Your traffic will need to cross out of the vpn somewhere/sometime. Unless you're connecting to a hidden service or something. It actually depends more on whether yo

Also some (many?) ISPs have asymmetric routing, preventing an easy implementation of anti-spoofing mechanisms.

>I don't think we can just get rid of Google or break them up just because we think they're too big. What did they do? Did they do something illegal? This really, _really_ depends on your philosophy, the way you view companies.

Well if you want to start reverse engineering, I'd think you'd need a very deep understanding of C. When reversing it doesn't help you if you know what a single instruction is doing. You need to be able to recompile the progr

Would be useful if it grows and gets a easily search able index. I can't count the number of times I couldn't be bothered to write boiler-plate C++ to eg. strip a string [0]. I know that if I google the question I'll get a st

I use that first reference extensively. But you have to understand that it's just a reference, it doesn't give you the complete picture. It just shows you the important stuff when you already know where to look. I've written

I think you're anthropomorphising. It's not given that machine intelligence and (human) morality/ethics are intertwined. What if the AI mind/intelligence is of such a high level that it regards us like we do bacteria? It

Yes, that's exactly right. But then you're not using _irc_ as a screening filter, but your applicants ability to research new things. Which is not what the article says you should use this screening tactic for, since there is a la
