   If I recall correctly, the EU's "right" to Internet Access was in response to France's "three strikes" cutoff law. In other words, this is a right that prevents governments from cutting off an individual's access, not (and correct me if I

   It's not random; the mean value for the first half of the new list (originally [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]) is 10, while the mean for the second half is 35. (Or at least, it came out that way reliably after several runs of a million iterations e

    Semispace (and generational) collectors do decouple the cost of allocation from the cost of collection by only considering the set of live objects. They also compact (defragment) as a side effect of collection.

    In the collectors I mentioned, deallocation is a matter of moving the live objects to the other semispace, and considering the "current" semispace to be garbage. If you're allocating a lot of short-lived objects, then explicitly keeping the

    Bad headline, Wired. Should read, " detected swine flu", instead of "caught swine flu".

    Go to the local drug store and get some 80 SPF spray-on sunscreen. Also sun-protecting chapstick (the highest SPF I could find for chapstick was 30). Don't forget to do your ears, the backs of your hands, and the back of your neck.

    This is also a blind spot. If you obsess over finding someone who likes you for your personality, you should take the time to consider, "Am I really the great, nice, etc. person that I think I am?"

    Historical events being events that people thought significant enough to write down? Because I'd posit that the vast majority of the human world we experience today was shaped by chance events that nobody noticed.
