As a younger man and husband (28) who is struggling to find his own way, I find that saying "what actions should I take so that I enjoy my life, the people I care about, the ideas I believe in, etc.?", and following through with i

Surely there is some improvement to be made by automatically parallelizing map and filter functions, and for side-effect free languages, automatically parallelizing functions that do not share state? Maybe this is more on the compiler sid

How is an assembly code generator different than a compiler?

Does the "wormhole" only exist inside the sphere? I wonder if this could be used for undetectable point-to-point communication?

One of them was. It was just from 1960 and probably declassified.

Are you sure that it isn't just harder for you to understand because you're more familiar with the traditional imperative control flow tools? If you had spent as much time with map and filter as you likely have with for loops, m

>I would think that making SIMD, parallelism, and multiple simple loops instead of one bigger loop much easier to program around would be much more realistic. Something like a fusion of ISPC, Rust, C++11, and Julia. What about functional

It makes more sense if you buy into the concept of hedonic adaptation [0], which I do. The gist is that your happiness is not influenced as much as you think by your standard of living, but rather by changes in that standard. Absent of chan

You are thinking of OpenWRT, I believe. DD-WRT is pretty much flash and go. Ad blocking is a bit of a pain, but the rest of the things I named have a GUI.

by rthomas6 11y ago
So can I use it to do all the nerdy things I use my DD-WRT flashed router for? Like QoS, adblocking at the router, a separate guest WiFi, VPN support, MAC address filtering, etc?

As a hardware guy who has never touched rust, and I know nobody will agree with me: the solution is to not have type inference. You knew you wanted u16 or whatever to begin with. For low level programming I think explicitly defining type ma

What I meant was that fax machines are still in widespread use by all demographics in Japan, so getting a lot of faxes doesn't indicate much about the age or aversion to progress of the senders.

by rthomas6 11y ago
It's Japan though. Faxes in Japan aren't antiquated like in the USA.

I did not mean to imply a motive to building a brand new, mostly empty city. Just that it's incredibly foreign, yet fascinating, and I can't imagine another country doing anything like that.

Could we stop talking about the fucking layout and talk about the article? China's culture, people, and most of all economy is opaque to most outsiders and I think it's fascinating. They built an entire city from nothing in just a

There's a Robert Reich article from a year ago that predicted this kind of division on issues. He says that the two new sides are "populist" vs "establishment". It looks to me like he was right. http://ro

It's interesting that on this issue the democrats disagree with the president, but the GOP backs him fully.

Yes, if you didn't fit the cultural mold, I have no doubt life would be very hard for you back then. Also I am by no means arguing that the past was in any way better to the present, just that it is quite possible to be happy without a

See here's the thing. Happiness is a state of mind, not a physical mode of being. Many people, including you, think that a person needs some parity with an invisible standard in order to feel contentment. But that's not true. You

You know that German intelligence cooperates with the NSA to this day, right?

I bet there's some secret info that we don't get to know that would make this bizarre move make more sense. Maybe China is using this computer to crack military servers or something.

There are things that the third world already uses for this purpose, such as M-Pesa. Money through SMS is already in wide use, for millions, right now. How can I send someone bitcoin through text messaging? http://en.wikipedia.or

But with the camera you have control over the lighting, and can move the lighting such that the etching has more contrast. I'll just assume that they tried the camera and the scanner works better.

Fractal Design R4, and I think I paid about $120 for it at a Microcenter. You can probably get it for cheaper online.

This is why my current desktop is in this case: http://www.fractal-design.com/media/77283f52-3505-40db-8167-... Super quiet, functional, and minimalistic. This was my previous case: http://ecx.images-amazon.
