If you wanted to asses the success of privatization based on observations alone, then you would need an alternate universe in which it did not occur. Also, according to Wikipedia, the largest shareholder for Thames Water is a Canadian publi

Yes, that's one of the ways one is supposed to optimize Python. Writing a tiny performance-sensitive part of a Python app in C/C++ is a possibility that many people do not think about when they decide they are going to develop the

I can imagine SVN, but I cannot remember it. I erased the memories.

I don't think the author understand how one is supposed to use branches and DVCS. It also compares an "ideal" situation of "trunk-development" with the worst usage of branches. Those unfortunate enough to have worke

It is not the goal of the CCP to advance China as it is to keep themselves in power.

What's the ultimate purpose? To subsist using the minimal amount of resources? Have you considered that people may want to eat animals? Every human activity consumes resources. We cannot make the reduction of consumption as a goal in

Failure to meet a requirement, one of which is user satisfaction, is, by definition, a defect.

It looks pretty much fine, except for the part that says: > In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them. which sort of negates all the other good aspects. If a

The callbacks (as in a chain of callbacks) are not natural to a beginner, like a student trying to program a robot. For a GUI, where you set up a callback in response to user input, it is also easy to understand because the program's c

I don't agree. You can handle errors how you like on both approaches. The callback code, however, will get pretty messy once you have a branched control flow. With coroutines you are using the language's control structures directl

I like this, but I also think some of the benefits can be had independently by combining several complementary techniques (in C++). The allocation can be handled by custom allocators for each object type. You can do only this and you avoid
253.
by jcarrano 3y ago
Yes. The callback is not a natural construct (i.e. it does not map well to our intuitive understanding of X is doing something while Y is doing something else). I'm annoyed when coroutines are reserved for use only in high performance,

The problem is that the card reader will be by far the most expensive part of the charger, plus the service fees for using the payment network. I agree that having 5 apps and needing a phone is bad, but the cost of the card reader will be p

Reminds me of Freeman Dyson's anecdote of Fermi: "I remember my friend Johnny von Neumann used to say, with four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." [1] [1] http://lili

Why do they include an optical drive? It's not even optional.

Yes. I'm in Germany and working on chargers and I see as many good ideas as I see awful ones. Another thing I can tell you is that there is a tendency (i.e. "generalization that does not apply to individual cases") to over-co

How much do they use and how easy is it to recycle? For example, lead in lead-acid batteries can be completely recycled.

That makes more sense, but then, in any case, you should be transmitting public keys over a medium that is authenticated in some form. Otherwise, an attacker could simple replace the key by theirs. The advantage of this method is that it wo

Does not make sense. Why would a user upload a public key with a "command=" option? And, in any case, the command executes with the privileges of the user, so it can do nothing that can't already be done by a normal command i

The only issue for me was that sims would choose the shortest path, not the fastest, leading to traffic problems which were very hard to solve. This I learned later from the Internet, at the time I didn't know it and I was just perplex
