No, the post you are replying to had it correct. The $140M is people paying to have the game, that's the same as boxoffice sales.

The potential disrupter here is RISV-V with vector extensions, which are currently being standardized.

That would be "something else." The else is important.

That "or sth" seems entirely superfluous.

Who said anything about Python or Java? In any case Java and C++ are roughly similar. The next tier of languages such as Rust or Haskell are within a small constant factor in the usual benchmarks. But quoting such benchmarks is questionable

> But I would expect "auto x = y;" to create a new variable by copying Why would you expect that? There are plenty of examples of other referentially transparent languages where "x = y" means x and y refer to the same

Or the language and compiler can just save you the trouble and get it right from the beginning.

The funny thing is I just good faith assumed that this was some new feature being added in C++17 that I'd now have to figure out how to use.

What specifically annoys me about C++ and is demonstrated by this example is that the simplest possible expression of an algorithm is almost certainly not the most efficient or desirable way to do what you are trying to accomplish. In a lan

Because as you point out yourself, there really is no need for that abbreviation. You could say "do_stuff" and it would have approximately the same meaning, but not be an undecipherable, ambiguous abbreviation.

As someone attracted to this sort of thing, I have to say that it has nothing at all to do with the risk of death. Putting the fear of death into a simulated experience would do nothing for me. And for the record I would _prefer_ to be able

Are you looking at the CRS dragon specs? It is absolutely the case that future designs of Dragon are able to do a direct powered ascent from Mars. That requires a lot more that 450m/s. Current dragon can't do that, but I wasn&#x27

I'm not sure that's the whole story. Do European doctors and hospital administrators make $350,000/yr, plus kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies? There's a lot of structural inefficiencies in the American system t

Correct. Let's say you implement RSA2048 and server-side reject all other algorithms. Then during a security audit the crypto guy points out that RSA2048, while not broken per se, is not up to the generally-accepted 128-bit security th

That's a different word (read the definition).

That's kinda the design requirement though, isn't it? If it were easy to detect and remove, they wouldn't have served their jobs.

It could land directly, yes, but it makes use of the aerobrake for slow-down. Without that aerobrake it would not have enough fuel to do a powered landing all the way down and then return to orbit (I think -- I don't actually work for

Industrial-strength laser is all you'd need...

Because it was a design requirement of the Dragon. It was designed to do that.

by kobeya 9y ago
No, powered landings all the way down. At least on the Moon and Mars (from orbit). With more fuel you could do the same from Earth, but why bother?

For one, the science is dead wrong. Just because the three body problem doesn't have an analytical solution that doesn't mean that orbits are chaotic. Case in point: the very solar system in question is now known to have at least

There is a popular (but IMHO terrible) Chinese science fiction book called "The three body problem" which tackles this exact issue.
