What if I want to give 20 quid to a friend? The thing that worries me the most about cashless is how it makes it extremely hard to give money to others -- each transfer needs to be a bank transfer and if I want to give you money, you need t

But if your phone is in his hands, can't he press OK? Still, the bionic angle is unneeded here, he can just put the chip on his clothes or wherever. More accurate title would be: man can hack phone while holding onto it.

Doesn't that make the answer "mostly yes, but you need to write the binding in C++"? I.e. write all your code in C, then just call the C methods from the one C++ class you must write.

It is absolutely not-ambiguous: Pairs in parentheses are attributes, everything after is values. He later introduces the || syntax to disambiguate: (foo (bar "zot")) vs (foo || (bar "zot")). The <|> syntax is also

I think it's because certain psychological conditions are now classified as disabilities and make you eligible for government assistance. See the so-called "autismbux" -- people presenting mental disorder symptoms to a doctor

That's the point of separating powers - the police shouldn't judge or carry out sentences.

The cheaply part puzzles me. If it takes X hours to build something, it doesn't matter if you work D hours per day for X/D days, or D/2 hours per day for 2X/D days -- it's the same amount of hours, therefore the sam

Sadly, they're not wrong. End-to-end encryption products are written for expert use and hard to set up by mere mortals.

I'm not a native English speaker and understood it, as the author intended it. It was a bit confusing at first, because "far" is seldom used by itself in English in this way, but I settled on "far from" as opposed t

- You can stop playing any time you want, but at work you're bound by standard hours. - You need to work to make money to buy food to eat. That introduces unavoidable stress into your work in the form that you know, if you don't

I'm pretty sure that if you abolish paper money, you'll just give rise to a strong barter economy culminating in private paper money.

The system is beyond saving, it's only a matter of time until the people start rioting and killing cops as a personal vendetta... oh wait.

Yes, but if you gzip it, you should get a much smaller file.

If 90% of players pirate and if your statistics for how many players there are for a given game usually come in the form of "number of sold copies", then you could be severely underestimating the size of the potential userbase; fe

My reply to that would be "I'm working with adults, not babies". If your team can't deal with seeing someone leave early, then you should fire me. I honestly wouldn't mind, there's plenty of work around here.

Your fault for using a nonstandard layout. Next you'll complain, that it doesn't work when you disable javascript.

Well, as Eric put it At this point the strongest possible language and the strongest possible push back are being used because everything else is routinely swept under the rug.

In that case, they should implement just the functionality they need in kernel, not a full DBUS implementation.

Oh but then you'll donate the diapers. And since your score will be determined by what others think of you, pretty soon there will form feedback rings pushing their scores higher and higher.

Sentient immortal mute beings of pure logic that do not possess the capability of traversing the ocean are people too! I get your point. Still, it's hard to define the puzzle in terms of not-people. Maybe you could call them intelligen

My favourite example: http://tasvideos.org/1145M.html completing a game in under 10 seconds by manipulating the RNG to spawn the final quest completion item under the player's initial spawn point.

It would be sane to ask that the literal expression "x - x" be optimised to 0, but I would never dream of asking that "y - x" be optimised to 0. Not unless the compiler can prove the values will be exactly the same in al

You get the same behaviour with regular floats: >>> a=10.0**10 >>> a 10000000000.0 >>> b = 0.1 >>> b+a 10000000000.1 >>> c=b+a >>> d=c-a >>&gt

I evaluated Arango for a project a couple of years ago. In the end we had to drop it, due to 1) Keeping all data in memory -- we didn't have enough RAM to keep everything in memory 2) Extremely slow startup time -- it was basically jus

Of course. The question isn't "do we stop treating schizophrenia", it's "should we, and how can we, transition the patient off of drugs that are potentially harmful in the long term".
