Most people consider their gmail, drive, etc. accounts as private because their immediate acquaintances don't have access to them. Maybe a better word would be not shared?

Not an effective store of value, too volatile. Plus, somebody has to trade the cash they get for bitcoin, and then they're responsible for the stack of cash they can't do anything with.

Off of the top of my head, with varying difficulty * js has UTF-16 strings with the same semantics(compare-by-value, immutable, interned) as lua strings. you could store UTF-16 in normal lua strings, but then you'd need some way of mar

This a property of static typing, not object oriented design. Take for example Typed Clojure, where you could define an Employee as a hashmap with a set of static constraints which can then be analyzed for, without having to invoke any of i

If the choice were between safeguarding the right to privacy and slowing the rate of innovation, I would pick privacy every time. It's the whole "trading liberty for security" thing: Civil liberties are the prime mover in any

What about the old let-over-lambda? do var state = init fn renderP() ... end end Depending on what you wanted the state for, I think it satisfies most of the properties you'd be missing with a persistent, not

I'd hope that the same community that takes "concatenation" and "list comprehension" and "mutability" to be household words would be able to get over some jargon weirdness so long as it's explained ad

Feel free to tell me if I'm reading this wrong, but we're talking about Lua as a platform for re-implementing elisp, not as a replacement (completely ditching elisp is a non-starter for obvious reasons). And not having dynamic bin

That's not how I read gp, exactly. What he is saying sounds more like taking the AST of a program, desugaring at much as possible, and then re-sugaring it in such a way as to produce a consistently styled codebase, sort of like gofmt b

This looks great, but it's a shame that the chromecast itself is hostile to personal testing or use. If I didn't have to go through at least 4 bullet points just to get my chromecast listed on a central registry I'd be much m

FYI, when an ars article ends with the wired logo, that usually means it's a reprint. The original can be found at http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-07/01/kite-bricks

A reputation system would be trivial to circumvent, though, through a shell entity. an easy way I'd imagine to limit bogus claims would be to make it so that a bogus claim has a negative effect, in the small. Normal law has this pretty

That would be really interesting to see, actually: with a tiny bit of projection math it sounds doable, and very trippy, to get the field of view of a side-eyed animal.

I suspect a lot of people will be unable to read it if they use HTTPS everywhere: the 4chan blog does not support https and the EFF is currently in a ruleset freeze so they cannot reflect that until the next stable version is out.

From what I gathered, that is what they did try to do, only the Supreme Court wasn't buying it at all. Ars gives a few choicer quotes: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/04/at-oral-arguments... >

Technically, Lua is a strongly typed dynamic language: it's just that most things happen to be of a single "supertype" (the table). If you need a more rigorous approach, Lua's integration with C is good enough that you c
