Absolutely a convenience thing. If we're going to cost efficiency, making new Google accounts whenever you run out of free storage wins.

It seems like that number counts "paying a mortgage" as ownership. It would be interesting to see the figure for "fully paid off homeownership percentage". I'm betting a huge portion of that those homes are actually

I took it as "really, a rock that is old?!" rather than "they can't know that". But I might have misunderstood.

And now it's easy to tell my TV to play a Youtube video via my phone instead of just using the remote, but a magnificent pain in the ass / impossible to share my screen to my TV or stream an actual video file directly. Pretty lame

Haven't used Rust, but I don't think your argument makes any sense. Isn't the point the combination of features is unique? It seems like if I invented a functional sledge hammer that only weighed 1oz, you'd say: > It

I have to question your position from a moral standpoint though. If you were a rollercoaster engineer, and you saw that a rollercoaster had an unsafe design, would you follow a similar approach? "I'm not going to ride that, but I&

I've used android phones for a decade now and never once been affected by malware. If the issue is kids installing shady apps, you should probably use a parental lock for that.

Sounds to me like Lessig said "We shouldn't have done A, you shouldn't do A. But if you do do A, do B.", and the NYT turned around with the headline "Lessig advocates for A and B".

Some parts of that example seem pretty silly. URLs for example: he describes how just about anything can be passed in as a URL, and requests attempts to call __str__ or __unicode__ on it and then parse it. Considering (essentially?) all typ

If you want to resolve merges using the workflow of git, you can generate scratch files and diff them, right?

by strbean 7y ago
The files holding the ASTs are append-only. So you get: PR #1: appended stuff PR #2: appended stuff So there is no merge conflict in the git sense.

Interesting, but... The Wikipedia article gives 2 proofs for Rice's theorem. a) As a corollary of Kleene's recursion theorem. This proof seems to rely on quines, and therefore relies on the same principle of self-referential parad

In the case of many games (mostly shallow MMOs), it is so much more fun to reverse engineer and break the game than it is to actually play the game.

Anti-cheat is still a major issue on multiplayer games that are not PVP-centric, like MMOs. In these cases, the negative externalities of cheating are more like a tragedy of commons than griefing. Cheaters and bots screw up the economy and

Well, yah, an infinite number of them exist. I'm curious, though, how many of these principles a la the Halting Problem actually hold if they are excluded? We take as doctrine that the halting problem is generally undecidable, but I ha

The trope of self-referential paradoxes as the foundation for grander proofs has always bugged me. My gut always says "sure, but what if we just banned self-referential paradoxes?"

Not to mention that with at-will employment this is essentially a moot point. If you qualify for FMLA and take paternal leave, they can still just fire you "just because we felt like it".
