Isn't Linux support in libc++ still not 100%? I'm using libc++/c++14 on a new project and I love it! Much better than my last experience with c++ (c++98). I was worried about using libc++, but I recently found a great VPS pr

I think the widespread use of scipy/numpy is directly correlated. Python code is generally very easy to port, too, so I'm very happy when it's used for examples even though I don't "know" or write Python.

That surprise EURCHF move was the largest single day G10 currency movement since the gold standard was dropped in the 1970s. The main difference between this and bitcoin volatility is that this was the direct result of a central bank's

I'm thinking more in the context of modern "weight loss" theory. These articles are just more fuel for fat Americans, Brits, and Aussies who want a scapegoat for their weight and a shortcut to lose it. They will do anything

Reminds me of remote working. Some people claim it's bad, some people claim it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. There's pros and cons to each. People build successful companies with both methodologies.

Along these lines, are there any accelerators/funds willing to fund a solo founder? If not, this seems like a good opportunity for a company which can quantify the risk of solo founders.

You make less than the FOIC cutoff, I assume? If not, how are you legally not paying US income taxes on foreign-earned income?

If you assume (incorrectly, as science has proven) that the human body can metabolize 100% of the energy it consumes, your worst case scenario is your caloric intake. In practice, since you're not receiving 100% of that energy, you&#x

Nope, not trolling. It's an amazing piece of work from a brilliant (but crazy) author.

If I said "The Unabomber's Manifesto", fewer people would read it just because of the stigma attached to the name. On its own, it's a legitimately interesting piece of writing with salient points about the topic at hand

People think they are special snowflakes whose bodies aren't bound by the laws of thermodynamics. They'd rather focus on trendy microoptimizations (like "eating vegetables before rice", and other non-sense) than diligen

It's also much more effective than the competition (i.e., its cure rate is higher). It also doesn't make you feel like you have the flu during the treatment period. The higher % of people who relapse on alternative treatments co

The post-WW2 baby-making bonanza is literally dying off. That's it. Japan's population is slowly returning to its equilibrium level.

Nissan is pretty good at it, too. The twin turbo GTR destroys all of Ferrari's best offerings and costs 2.5-10x less while doing so. It's interesting that the author implies that only naturally aspirated engines give you the pre

Thanks for the reply and mentioning the McGurk effect. Really interesting! Hmm, my teacher's husband said my pronunciation was excellent. I downplayed the comment politely, and he said, "No, I'm serious. You have the best

Thanks for the explanation. Japan blew away my expectations while Korea completely failed them (after studying Korean with a private tutor for six months, no less... what a waste). Taiwan seems not xenophobic at all unless you're a m

I didn't say you did. Sorry if that's what I seemed to be implying. I'll edit. Also, in my travels, Koreans were about 1000x less welcoming to me than Japanese were. Koreans literally laughed in my face when I spoke anythi

The post-WW2 boom is dying off. Literally. Japan has smaller land area than California (a lot of it is mountains, too) and has 125mm people. They don't need more population growth. (not that you were implying they do, just saying)

Okay, that makes more sense. The number in isolation seemed odd.

Yeah, this was one of the eyebrow raisers in the article. The other was a load average of 0.6 being "high". For what it's worth, autovacuum can be enabled/disabled on a per table basis, too. Some tables need frequent v

Not just memory leaks... all the recent hacks/exploits are showing us that even the best people in our field can't write secure code in C/C++. You can reduce your attack surface substantially by using a language like Rust.

Yes, this! Rust (and by proxy, Servo) shows the most promise out of everything listed on that recent "Mozilla Projects" link. I will hopefully be able to contribute back to Rust a bit once I'm a bit more skilled with it.

"cunt" is a fairly common word in Australia, mate. Life does exist outside of politically correct, cultural Marxist bubbles.

Yeah, this is precisely what I meant by "willful ignorance of specific issues being raised". :/ I really hope Brian is not like that in real life interactions.
