No, this isn't C either. The following doesn't work: struct Bob { int a; }; int main() { int a; struct Bob x; x.a = 3; return 0; } So when they say "without object oriented features" they

The issue is that the title actually diminishes the accomplishment by focusing on the wrong thing. The work is impressive independent of the authors age. By emphasizing the age, the focus shifts from what he did, which he should be proud of

Why? It's a perfectly legitimate avenue of research; and there is much fundamental work still to be done (which is typically the type of research the government funds).

Thanks! Couldn't find the source of the Readme in the zipfile. Can you talk about what the update process for this file is? How often is it updated? Is there a way to just download the new files? Is there a tarball script for this in t

Well, to be fair, I'm always concerned about those vat grown algorithms from a lab. I mean, are we sure they're safe ?

Sounds like you're familiar with this space and this guy; any thoughts you'd like to share?

That is... bizarre. It looks like they had a simple head originally and then attached it to a too large body (facing the wrong way), and then tossed some hair on it to not look like it was a sockless handpuppet coming out of the neck

So, when you perform a regression of any sort, what you're doing is saying "Hey, I want to find parameters X,Y,Z, etc, that make this curve best fit the data that I have". One interpretation of 'best fit' is 'm

Isn't keybase.io just a way of storing public keys? If they go down, and you still have the private key, you can just sign a message saying "No, really! It's me!" The issue with distributed systems that rely on public ke

I would expect the debug allocator would need to be a full stack trace, file and line on their own would probably not be helpful. This is probably doable if they cache the allocation paths. But it would be interesting to hear about what too

No, why? Why would Amazon issue a coin system? That is only needed when you need to incentivize people to perform computation on your behalf.

There seems to be a bit of lack of knowledge about Freeman Dyson. Freeman Dyson is the person responsible for legitimization and adoption of Feynmann diagrams, via proof of equivalence with Schwinger's methods. Feynmann didn't car
