I still don't understand why we need such a thing. Every single interaction that is involved with protein folding or any chemical or molecular process can be calculated "ab initio" via QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics). So why n

This is an engineering problem where tradeoffs have to be made. E.g. You could make it appear that the disk is about 90% full all the time if you queue up the trim commands in some deterministic way. This way you only could determine if the

Doesn't solve my most important problem with LUKS: Allowing Trim passthrough on SSDs without impacting vulnerability. Also, why use json for meta-data instead of simple C Structs? No human is supposed to read this kind of data anyways.

If you look at the Facebook chart you see a classic runaway gap in July 2013. Historically those gaps always get closed. This means it will eventually fall back to 20/30 USD (currently 175 USD). The question is just when.

That is like the biggest fake argument ever. There is plenty of resources and Python 2 support is neither a burden nor this burden in any way increasing. The are plenty of people ready to step up to continue Py2 support (Even I would be gla

You only need currently open transactions, a hash from the last block and a nonce.

Could you build a super advanced processor with this SPM technology? Has this been done already by anyone?

A logarithmic number system is in my opinion far superior to floating point in many ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_number_system

Not a problem at all. Historically fluctuations in populations are the norm. Japan and South Korea has more than enough productivity to support everybody including the elderly. It is just a matter of distribution.

Loads of complexity. I don't see the value. Just give me files I can write data into and suddenly everything becomes very easy. Everybody knows how to write files. I know this discussion is getting really old but when Alsa was a step i

Meh. Birmingham is big I probably couldn't see more than 5% of it. And I agree there are "islands" of British culture left. But you have to specifically look for them. And I'm the kind of guy who visited a concert in the

I agree there are "scummy white people" too. But they only get aggressive on alcohol after sport events. They are definitely not the ones throwing acid at people. This is just a different level violence. I lived in Selly Oak. I do

This is a Pakistani Muslim problem. So avoid bigger cities. I lived for 10 months in Birmingham, I had to leave because even though I'm a grown man I could not tolerate the terror of people throwing rocks at your window at night. Besid

I read somewhere else that the best way to kill bacteria in sponges is to microwave them for about 30 seconds.

Its not retro at all. To me it's timeless modernism/futurism. They should switch back.

People choose CLANG mainly because of its license. But GCC still produces faster binaries.

FLIF ( http://flif.info ) does this already but is far superior in many ways. All it lacks is a JS implementation.

Yes. Following reasons: * I work a lot with low level data and I prefer strings to be an array of bytes. The forced unicode support is stupid for all my use cases. Also Unicode in 3.x support is rather flawed: http://www.cmlenz.n

Most of the performance gains seem to come from the async/await stuff which is a rather late development which has actually nothing to do with any 3.x features. Could be done with 2.x as well.
741.
by sprash 9y ago
Performance can be measured. The rest is indeed opinion. The opinion of the python community after almost 10 (!) years after after the first release is quiet obvious: 3.x sucks! I just don't know from where all the 3.x apologist appear

The target inflation of 2% was established because the measurement error of the value is also about 2%. Hence if you want to avoid deflation, but at the same time minimize inflation your target should be 2%.

Also "more education" is not really a final solution. At some point education is only increasing competition among workers without adding any value. As soon as your average plumber has a PhD something went wrong. I already met Ueb

Yeah more features is exactly what C++ needed... Am I the only one who uses C++ as C with classes? Sometimes I use vectors or strings and I like default values in functions and other minor improvements to C. I don't want to reimplement
