"GamerGate" is an exonym applied to a group of people who were outraged over allegations made by a former lover of an independent game developer. Whether or not these accusations are true and regardless of the motivations behind t

Do you really believe that everyone who believes in the Gamergate story is a bully?

AFAIK, it's still not settled whether cryptographic keys/passwords/passphrases can be subpoena'd. Existing case law from physical security distinguishes between keys--like the one to your door or a cabinet--from combinat

I would assume not. GCs are typically invoked by requesting allocation. Since the GC (presumably) uses lower-level OS facilities to allocate memory, it wouldn't need to recursively invoke itself.

Do you mean "unsafe" instead of "undefined"? Here's what I found after a Google search, by one of the core Rust devs (unsurprisingly). https://github.com/pcwalton/multilist

In some states, it's only the purchase and public consumption of alcohol that's prohibited for those under 21; and consumption on private property and/or under the supervision of parents/guardians is expressly allowed.

Why do they need to be 'happy' about it, though? I'd be willing to use any of those, but I wouldn't enjoy working with them as much as I would with others. Does that mean I have a "wanky" attitude and immediate

Not to the subscriber that has passed, but insurance companies may benefit from the knowledge acquired from autopsies. Analysis could reveal that if the company covered some drug/procedure, the overall usage rate per subscribe decrease

It's a problem of fairness. Satoshi released Bitcoin publicly and only then began mining coins, just like everyone else was potentially able to do. It's hard to begrudge him from using his own invention, after all! Whereas pre-min

No arguments here! I was just dispelling his misconception that hash rate "must" go up.

Mining only appears always to increase as time goes on because Bitcoin is increasing in popularity, but the protocol itself doesn't mandate that at all. Like ikeboy said, difficulty is adjusted to keep the average time to find a new bl

You could say that about any number of human activities, though. "Geez, all these game conventions use so much power, can you imagine how much coal is being used to power all these lights and booths right now?" If anything, having

But a Rust enum is equivalent to a C-style one in the basic case. Rust's is just able to do more as well to support the common idiom of tagged unions. Unions themselves cannot be expressed safely in Rust, so it'd do little good IM

Well it shouldn't be surprising, as Rust's enum behaves pretty much like a C/C++ one if all cases are nullary. The only changes are syntactical ("EnumType::Variant" instead of just "Variant", unless you &q

Rust's enum is a natural extension to the common notion of enumerated types to ADTs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerated_type#Algebraic_data_... .

Well it seems that they're not universally enforceable, which is probably why some people are having difficulty accepting it. http://blog.al.com/breaking/2011/12/no_through_traffic_signs...

But what if you believed that the street was, in fact, the way to your destination (a friend's house)?

I've never gotten a traffic ticket, actually. You might not be able to fight the cop, but a judge may be easier to sway. They have to show intent after all, no? I've read stories of people fighting such ordinances in court (not th

The speed bumps around my old neighborhood have a dip in the median exactly so that ambulances can avoid the bump completely. I was told that it's also a safety concern, as sudden shocks when carrying, say, someone with a spinal injury

Well he didn't really use it in a racist manner, as that's all his post contains; unless you're implying that any use of word is inherently racist. I guess if he put it in quotes it wouldn't be? (Use vs cite)

Wow, this went from the front to page three in just a few minutes... discussion getting too heated for a mod's taste?

Well technically yes, because of semver 2.0's rule #4: "Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable."

Why is the parent being downvoted? This post doesn't come across to me as off-topic or offensive in any way.

The only way I know of that "push" can cause problems is with "--force"... so just tell people not to do that! If you attempt to push a non-fast-forwardable commit to a remote branch, Git will complain and stop with a me

China's sovereignty extends only as far as its borders. It has no legitimate say in the goings-on outside. GitHub is located outside of this domain, under the sovereignty of a nation that allows and condones its activity. It's rea
