Yup, the Lua interpreter is written entirely in pure ANSI C. Op should definitely see if solves his problem before implementing his own language. Unless of course he just wants to learn how to implement a language as a project by itself, in

It's not possible in Kotlin to have an instance of Nothing, and the compiler does some magic for the Nothing type, in that it can be converted to any other type in the system (so it's like the opposite of the Any type). This allow

Whats the percentage of the cost of the driver for airplanes, boats and long-haul trucking, compared to the cost of each trip? Maybe for the trucking it is significant, but I'm not sure airplane ticket prices would go down significantl

Well, not really, let's say we want to heat a room to 25 degrees Celsius. If we are converting 100% of the electricity used to heat, it will take X energy. If we use the energy for computing instead, and use the waste heat to heat the

And looking at modern languages, I would say that C strings also lost, just latter, since none of them do strings that way anymore.

Well, on the other hand you can also look at this and think, I better not put any money into bitcoin, cause there are individuals out there that could single-handedly destroy the price by cashing out. And you might say, it is in their inter

Independent Creation is not covered by copyright I believe.

I think Independent Creation is a valid defense in copyright cases, unlike with patents.

Please don't say things like this, the theory of the big bang says no such thing at all. What it says is how the universe expanded from a very high-density and high-temperature state. There are entirely separate theories to explain how

Ok, so is there anything at all that a brain "with consciousness" can do that a brain "without consciousness" can't? If not, your definition of consciousness is entirely meaningless.

by greiskul 7y ago
When people talk about their consciousness, they communicate using things like their mouths and hands. Mouths and hands are physical. Or do you belong to the school of "People talk about their consciousness not because of their conscio

Is your hand conscious? Are you your hand? Am I reasonable to assume that your hand typed your comment? So how can I be sure that you are conscious and not just your hands and mouth? I can, because those are merely the mechanisms you use to

Science is better then this. We don't need to directly observe something, it's OK to be able to just indirectly observe. So, let's assume that consciousness is only physical. What would be the implications of that? It would i

How do they monetize voice recognition data, other then by selling devices that use voice recognition, and trying to make them better for the user?

Well, the combos are a part of the game, and to be a top player you need to know how to execute your characters combos. But for real competition, (at least for SF, and smash bros, never watched competitive MK), it really comes down into ant

Is Spotify, or Hulu, or Netflix, or any of the others you mentioned owned by Google? No. So... why would it cause any antitrust violation? Widevine was not the first DRM for videos, it was already common practice for the big paid video webs

Ok, any sources on Google doing that? Cause the article doesn't support that at all, and Google says it doesn't do that. Or do you disagree with the statement "also not valid to assume all email providers are doing this simpl

And why is it valid to assume Google is doing this "parsing it into various marketing databases", where the only evidence about that is Google explicitly saying they don't do that? They used to scan email for relevant ads (an

I don't think it's possible to do revocation in a stateless manner. The token that you are revoking was once valid, and when you decide to invalidate it, this change of state needs to be persisted somewhere. But yeah, if revocatio
