Isn't structural pattern matching basically the same as creating an anonymous struct whose fields are references, with a default assignment operator? Syntax ideas should spring to mind.

What does seem to be happening is rather that the assumption of having a phone will be built into every little thing - in particular mobile payments are becoming mandatory in some places. Transportation including parking is sometimes locked

This goes into what is meant by "expected". There isn't a strong expectation on any one Iranian citizen to risk their livelihood and life. There is small encouragement, that they may choose to act on or ignore.

Here's my theory of how it may have happened. Stage 0: 5 million years ago they were the same species. Stage 1: Subspecies. Ibericus and Structor became distinct populations of the same species still capable of mating. Stage 2: Parasit

I think it's an interesting assumption that that the queen removes her own genetics from the eggs. Normally in biology I would expect the opposite, that species remove competitors in favor of their own dna. So I think the possibility s

To me it's as if someone releases a new gun model and people single that gun out and complain that if you shoot someone with it they may die. Like it's a critique of guns as a concept not of that particular one. In a complete tang

I was at a political rally a long time ago. One of the speakers said "let's hang all the people in <rich suburb>". As I remember it no one spoke out against him but neither did people cheer. Anyway I realized the rally

Well what I was talking about was whether there is a bias for fear. And so to see whether that is true you have to compare fear levels to actual risks and see if they are disproportionate or not. If bad things are always happening and peopl

If I compare how fearful people are and how many bad things have happened historically, I don't think the amount of fear is unreasonable. However it can certainly be said that people fear the wrong things - worrying about perfectly saf

None of these things are enough by itself. It's rather that they have now solved so many things that the sum total has (arguably) crossed the threshold. As for solving math problems, that is an important part of recursive self improvem

A more economical version of the same thing is to engage in honest mining through several front companies that together have 51%. Until a strategic opportunity presents itself and they start colluding.
