This is from 2015. Reddit removed their shadowbans for regular users (still enabled for spammers, I think) [1]. And, by the way, calling out censorship because of 1 shadowban when there's even a subreddit to know if you're shadowb

I'm curious, why do you say that the open/read/write model can't work? I suppose that current software should be optimized to take advantage of better performance, but I don't see why it is obsolete.

>All good programmers are self-taught. No good mathematicians (currently) are. I wonder why this is. Probably boils down to what 'math' is trying to accomplish vs. what 'programming' does. I think that may be because,

Not every religious person is a hardcore bible reader who does not question anything. In fact, most believers I've met are in the opposite end: they know most of the tales of the bible are just tales, and accept the scientific methods

I find this comment to be borderline insulting, even when my political views are very liberal. Basically, what I read in your comment (maybe I'm misreading it) is that not having a liberal view means that the person does not understand

I don't know why it is being presented on the news as a catalog of the whole mathematics, when it is designed just a catalog of mathematical objects related to the Langlands Program [1] which is very broad as a mathematical theory (you

The theory seems to predicts reversed thrust in certain conditions, it's at the end of the abstract. I don't know for certain whether they're random or not, but at least this looks interesting.

At what point is using Storm or any other alternative inevitable? I am always reminded of [1] in these cases. Have you found instances where an implementation of the core logic in C/C++ (maybe with thread parallelism) is fast enough? 1

This is incredibly misinformed. First of all, the majority of refugees are staying in the middle east zone. See UN data [1]: ~4 million Turkey, Lebanon and others. Estimates round ~1 million for all of Europe. Regarding that they only &quot

There are differences between atomicity and thread synchronization. An atomic write means that the variable is always in a correct state. For example, a non-atomic write could write half of the integer in one instruction and the other half

I'm not saying those concepts are not difficult. But values, pointers and references are something that relate to memory. You can simulate in a paper how is a value or a pointer managed in a program. Same with scopes and static typing.

I don't think that programming and math are the same in a practical sense. I am studying math and CS and they're fairly different. Programs deal with specific things, types and data that you manipulate and see with your eyes. Math

My experience is the reverse. I think that beginning with C gives you the necessary knowledge of the inner workings of programs and systems that is required if you want to end up with a degree in CS/CE/similar. I've seen too

Your comment sounds alarmist because it is narrow minded, as it implies that the solution is to stop immigration instead of fighting antibiotic-resistant diseases. If we just stop immigration, we are just delaying the arrival of the problem

The first issue would be touchy, I think. You'd have to find a way to deploy gradually the cable, or else each end would gain really high speeds that could break the cable when it stops deploying. Regarding the second part... If the ca

I think the problem with space elevators are not as much with the materials but with the logistics of deploying that. How do you get the cable up there? You can't just shoot up a rocket with a cable attached and expect the cable to sta

As tete says, it'd be rather inefficient to do a DDoS via Tor. I think that the reason for the captcha is more related with security, to avoid spammers or bots to getting through via Tor. Cloudflare explains the issue here: https:&#x2
