Just add a link to the "how c#" somewhere; I didn't notice that page existed. It's exactly what I wanted! edit: oh, you did already. never mind!

My first reaction was: how can that possibly work? I read the entire "why c#" page in the hopes of getting an answer, but it just kept going on about other stuff. Finally, at the end, under "Disadvantages of c#": requi

You could try escaping to an area where they don't have jurisdiction. "Run a red light? Drive to Canada!"

How on earth do you make C++ like JS? I'm no JavaScript programmer so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is legal: x = 5; x = "five"; How do you do that in C++? In C# they have the dynamic keyword, but C++? I

Conversely, those all make anonymity hard to do. As in, somewhere between impractical and impossible.

Poignant? I half-suspect you're trolling. It's ironic because one might assume that a paper that argues for anonymity to itself be anonymous, but it's not. Irony: when things are the opposite of what's expected.

Fair enough. I'll settle for decreasing to non-zero for tomorrow :)

That number alone proves nothing. You could try to say that "even if a self-driving car is a thousand times safer than the average human, that still leaves 32 deaths per year". But I don't buy that logic. You need a breakd

How long a view are we talking about? On a time scale of decades, it sounds like a bad idea, and on a time scale of centuries I tend to distrust all forecasts. Care to present any argument in favor?

You might have noticed a few triblebyte blog posts on the front page lately. They don't do resumes. (Of course, you have to be ok with YC companies, or else they're not much use to you.)

How much does Ada rely on garbage collection?

I'd like to point out one difference: as far as I know, in the US police are never given orders to hurt protesters. In theory, they can even get in trouble for doing so. In the other countries you listed, this was official policy. In

Beaten into submission? Maybe they tried that, but eventually what worked was that they were legislated into submission. They found some technicality for why they couldn't legally occupy that space, and everything went downhill fast

You just (partially) answered your own question. Imagine something like a binary search tree. With all the pointer chasing you'll be doing, the poor pre-fetcher doesn't stand a chance.

Nope. The article explains this poorly. This one: https://www.quantamagazine.org/20150707-can-information-rise... does much better. I would have never understood how this works if I hadn't come across the quanta art

The person writing down the numbers can choose them randomly, or sneakily, or whatever. Only the person choosing has to randomness. This makes no assumptions on how the numbers were generated.

by marvy 11y ago
I find this idea not very attractive. That means any program that reads from stdin has a dependency on some random database. Even cat, or grep. (You could argue that grep needs this anyway to color things, but still.)

I agree it should be done in user space, but how? Surely requiring every program to use something like GNU readline is a bad idea? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Plan 9 does this well. Does anyone know how, or know another OS

But I don't want to include a header just to use bool. I'm willing to include a header for big things (like strcmp), but bool is such a small convenience that it should be available without an include, because otherwise it's

Okay, that's cheating. Or rather, that's fine for them, but is no help in porting this idea to Python, which definitely has functions of zero arguments, and they aren't even that rare. (Although comparing functions for equa

Yeah. He was really trying to answer the 'should' question.
