It can depend, though of course genetics are probably a factor. I had sealant applied when I was a teenager, but never since. I'm now 38; still - at least, as of my last dentist visit a couple of months ago - no fillings.

It's only centralized from the point of view of somebody who isn't involved. Those who are involved most likely won't see it as such - since if they did, they'd have chosen some other mechanism. They don't need to t

Ballmer is the younger, which is the funny thing :) (I actually think he looks quite youthful here, but it's hard to spot at first, because he has the hairline of a man 20+ years his senior.)

But who's going to abuse it? Why would it shut down indefinitely? This is a group of people or entities that has decided to do this. Presumably they all feel it's in their interests to make it work. Same as with any mutual agreeme

I tried it as a child and it tasted like how I imagine pot pourri would taste. Really not my thing. If you want a sweet Middle Eastern food, I'd definitely suggest baklava. The worst that'll happen there is a bit of coconut. (Or..

You don't have to have forks. When there is no agreement, the network can just stop working. Some might think that a bit useless, but when you're trying to reach agreement it is in many respects a lot better than a fork...

For smaller-scale blockchains you would probably adopt a non-proof-of-work consensus mechanism. (This is probably what you want, anyway, when the value of the assets that back the network exceeds the value of mounting an attack! You might a

That's more than half the average monthly gross salary. To get £3,000/mo take home pay you'd need to earn £49,500/year.

Quick tip - to convert roughly from miles to km, pretend the miles is BCD, and convert to decimal. So 20 miles = 0x20 km = 32 km.

When I was at school we were on occasion obliged to perform musical numbers for parents and visiting dignitaries. And thus I discovered Tom Lehrer: for one year, one of my friends was drafted in to such a performance, that time of `Masochis

I can't find the link (though I'm sure it was on HN at the time...), but there was a talk by the Sony PS4 compiler people that touched on this a while ago. They ended up open sourcing as much PS4 stuff as they could, not because t

Interesting that it is HFS+ getting accused of being crazy, rather than the (blatantly deficient) POSIX-style tools!

Public transport is quite a lot cheaper than Uber or taxi where I am. The difference would pay for 2 pints of beer and some bar snacks. I will make my own mind up about which mode of transport to take ;)

Yes, it is. This is my strange English humour failing to cross cultural boundaries (again), I'm afraid. The correct plural of "iSheep" is however still certainly "iSheeple"!

by to3m 11y ago
I assume English is your second language? The plural is in fact iSheep le . (This is a very, very rare form of irregular noun. I'm not surprised you weren't taught it, nor that you haven't picked it up by osmosis. You just ha

A better analogy would be driving a car - it's not a tangerine.

The lack of any conceivable confounding factors is what really makes this explanation so intuitively compelling.

I've done my Radar time. If the reason Apple haven't fixed this is that I personally didn't sign on to Radar and log it as a bug, I can live with that.

Yes, exactly: you have to write little shim functions. I'm pretty sure this was what bdamm was complaining about, and I'm complaining about it too. I took your suggestion to be that there was some way of using the API that avoided

In C# you can use `goto' to go to any other case as required - including the one that's next, syntactically speaking. So if you need a fall-through from a non-empty case, you can do that, but you do have to be explicit about it.

It was my experience too. What does the C API do for one? I've always found it rather unhelpful, though relatively straightforward for simple bindings. (I don't like to comment about anything more involved.) But, even once you&#x2

As far as I can tell, it's not universal, but still somewhat common. (My computer has always done it ever since I bought it new in April.) It is a bit annoying. But since I use the MAS so irregularly, I can get by. I do wonder what the

I dread ever having to run the Mac App Store to get an upgrade. (Luckily, I only have to do it for Xcode and OS X.) It asks for my password literally every 15-20 seconds. Once I tell it to upgrade everything, it selects only one upgrade, an
