I think music as an industry is going through a little bit of a transformation. With an increasing breadth of selection, and a stagnating amount of money being spent on music and entertainment (relatively speaking), money is going to be sp

How is MPT supposed to determine the risk in an individual security? The human element, and the number of variables under consideration seems to pretty much require MPT to be restated as "an approximation to a mathematically ideal p

I think the problem is that it needs to be effortless to change. Either a complicated counterweight system so the desk can be raised or lowered smoothly with only a little effort, or electronically. Honestly, electronically is probably eas

A desk that is adjustable is cheap... a desk which changes height VERY easily is expensive.

I expect it is memory management and safety. In C++, exceptions can cause problems with dangling pointers if used in constructors, I wouldn't be surprised if the same were true in Rust.

Later on in the article, the purpose of copyright is further discussed, specifically the "moral" side of copyright. For example: "Samuel Beckett’s restrictions on the staging of his plays is a well-known example of the exerci

There isn't an RFC for them, at least that I could find. Have they just not gotten that far in terms of thought?

Important (but a little lost in the article) is that in C++, your boxVolume function would compile until you tried to call it with the wrong type. However, the Haskell version won't compile, even if it hasn't been called. In C++

I think you missed my point. memset_ptr is a const (not changed by this program... theoretically) volatile (allowed to be changed by the system, theoretically) pointer to memset. In THIS PARTICULAR CASE, memset_ptr points to memset. The c

What about a data race? Theoretically, the function that memset_ptr points to could be changed between when it is checked and when it would be run.

I was specifically referring to boilerplate and type level programming: Algebraic Data Types's, and type generation in general. C++'s type system is actually pretty strong, but the amount of boilerplate that is needed to create a

I really like the direction C++ is moving in. I just really don't like how incredibly VERBOSE it is (though `auto` helps).

I don't think there are any new keywords for C++14.

what do you mean? C++ is a language designed by committee. C++14 is meant as a "tock" release, fixing some of the things in the C++11 "tick" release. ("tick" releases are larger, and "tock releases fix so

That isn't fair. There are two separate classes of functions of a car: it's "multi-tonne death machine" functions (gas, break, crash safety, etc) and it's "(luxury) automobile" functions (doors opening, s

I like the concept, but it feels a little more "cute" to me right now than "very useful". For example, information is given to me that people bought or sold a stock, but not why: which means I don't know if it is ap

Sorry, that is from the article (the OP), not the paper that was linked to. The article states that the 10% of people who actually pay attention to the speed limit increase the differential between speeds of cars when the speed limit is to

Respectfully, you didn't read the rest of the abstract to the article you cite, and the next few sentences support what the article says: >Other studies looked at speed dispersion and found evidence that this is also an important fa

The article says they raised $300k, but this kickstarter only says $50k. Any ideas where the discrepancy comes from?

Speed limit laws started as a safety thing, then they were a car efficiency thing (during the 70's oil crisis). The problem is that the municipalities started to increasingly depend on the income from traffic enforcement. No, lawmaker

I think the premise you are assuming is wrong: You assume that it is sending false data to them to say "this person (which our algorithm has deemed is a bad match), is a good match". The problem is that until the experiment is

So, I do a little bit of related research in this area: This is typically called a "filament", a "plasma channel", and sometimes described as a waveguide. It requires high powers (~10^13 W/cm^2, usually femtosecond
