But prevention is impossible, metabolic damage would at best be slowed down with the right diet and exercise, and not all that much it seems. At least some of the damage is also quite independent of those factors as well. Repairing our bodi

Things taking longer to read and understand is perhaps the central crime of unmaintainable code, no matter how concise otherwise.

Can Rust compile to a shared lib the programs can use as easily as a C library? Yes it can! You use the `#[no_std]` if you wish to be rid of the runtime, and the `#[crate_type = "lib"]` for outputting shared libraries (or use th

Didn't downvote, but that capability can be had without relying on an external service, and not really DIY since there are libraries (eg socket.io).

I'm not sure I catch your drift.. I hope you weren't serious about your suggestion, or that you honestly think it was a helpful suggestion.

If running PS4 (or PS5/6/7) games on tablets becomes a reality, you'd still use a hand-help controller most likely, at least until there's some bigger transition in gaming (VR controllers etc).

Define a "balanced diet". For most, and in the conventional formulations, it's chock full of carbohydrates, and not much better than a "low-fat diet".

Yes, this is also part of Servo's strategy apparently: spread work across multiple cores, but each core does less and can be more efficient in terms of power draw. Faster + less battery use in one fell swoop. Though it's not reall

I believe you're right. But I don't think this is a huge problem: you simply don't get the benefits of layout out that specific text in parallel, it'll render sequentially as browsers tend to do today anyways. You can st

If you clear your floats, you'll be fine in terms of giving the engine room to parallelize, according to pcwalton's blog post.

I'll hazard a guess, though Zuckerburg more or less lays it out. They'll create the Metaverse (as described in Snow Crash ), but they'll own it. You will meet virtually with friends on the Facebook platform, and they will ow

As a product, this doesn't seem to offer all that much over competitors besides the claimed reduction in degradation. Otherwise, something like this seems better and cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/20000mAh-Multi-Voltage

There is clearly a distinction between the two, and we don't know how to use symbols to represent meaning [1]. But the fact that we don't know how to do so yet obviously does not mean that that is no way, or that our brains are no

Epistemology itself is an example of a branch of philosophy that is basically unscientific. That doesn't mean it's of no worth, or anything of the sort. It just means that it makes no falsifiable predictions. This is typical of ph

But there are some things which are philosophical, yet not scientific, which was what I was alluding to. My experience is that these purely philosophical discussions tend to churn over the same issues repetitively without any resolution - b

Putting aside all philosophical questions, I do want to dispute that we're wasting money on AI. Even if you believe human-level artificial intelligence is not achievable with computers, you can't deny that AI so far has already pa

What you wish to discuss is philosophical, rather than scientific in nature (for the time being), and there is nothing that can be said in the span of an HN comment that can substantially change anybody's mind, one way or the other.

Why is that unsatisfying? And why is it just "technically" open source, is it not open source in spirit as well?

Unlike with nukes (Project Orion notwithstanding), having access to relativistic weapons also implies having access to space travel. This is not necessarily the case, especially given biological constraints, but let's assume you have

Thanks for the link to the Doug Lea screencast/talk, very interesting so far. EDIT: Indeed it was a great talk, very informative! I came to the opposite conclusion about layers of the system, though I'd say that it isn't the

You are correct, you'd use them to implement your own concurrent data structures per requirements. But I do think they're slightly higher level primitives than most languages provide, and there is some nice flexibility in the opti
