Honestly - is it? Maybe the reasons I practice fighting games all day is because I desperately need a new toaster.

I purchased a 360 a few days ago so that I could play Street Fighter 3: Third Strike with my friends from back home. It's a fine console, but I was worried about the prospects of Microsoft shutting down Xbox Live at some point.

Also, the ability to add template specifiers to implementations is probably the most powerful restricted generic programming technique I've seen. For example, it fills me with joy to be able write lines like this: // Co

No, it is not. Pure virtual classes are the same as interfaces. But I only use pure virtual functions, so why mix in non-pure virtual classes?

I've been using Rust more and more for my personal projects. Frankly, I could not give a hoot about the memory management; it's pretty cumbersome to deal with. What I love about Rust is that it's a low overhead language that

They are usually. Most people don't change the -03 in their build files after a compiler update though.

Here's an interesting thought -- suppose the algorithm used to simulate our universe is not bound by the resources in the universe. Let's also say that our simulation results in the people in our simulation simulating our universe

A lot of people seem to appreciate Kamen for FRC so I would like to offer my alternative experience: I enjoyed the comradery that came with my high school robotics club, but man I did I absolutely hate the actual competitions. Firstly, bein

By using a program you do not write or udjust, you are completely at the whim of whoever wrote the program.

Victim blaming does not apply here. You're using software written by other people - you dont get to decide what it does insofar as to actually modify the source code yourself.

I doubt it. People like sitting down in cafes with their laptops. A friend of mine interning in Seattle this summer professed that he hoped to get into the "cafe scene" before he went there. I thing he's going to enjoy all th

If I had to take a guess, the EPA probably issues MCLs for acids and bases and not the resulting pH of them combined.

You're not actively shuffling through a box full of tangible objects to find what to listen to.

True, a lot of my friend have vinyl now. It's fun to listen to, generally more social. You can make a thing out of listening to vinyl much more easily than you can by playing music off your laptop speakers.

This is crazy, because I'm pretty much too young to remember a time when phones ever sounded good. The reason I prefer text to call isn't because I don't like to talk to people - I've just always found call quality to be

This reads like an apologee... But what is there to apologize for? They said that Tay was meant for entertainment, and I doubt that any wholesome varient would be a tenth of the hilarity of a neo-nazi sex crazed chat bot.

Well clearly it is not impossible to recompile the program, perhaps by hand, into a different instruction set. Arguably this may be considered source to source translation. Sure it is hard, and there's no program that will EVER be able

LLVM is a wonderful project, but I dont really know much about this release. How is it significant? Side note, I wonder if this is related to why one of my professors - Dr. Adve - has been so busy lately...

fair enough, but killing can never be performed ethically by a state actor. Unless it is in self defense or an act of war, in which case the morality varies with the situation.

If killing people is evil, which it is, because you can never ever be convinced of a truly righteous killing (there is always doubt), then killing a person does not remove all evil. It may reduce evil, depending on whether the murder of the

It is already reflected very highly. One needs only look at the stratification of classes in the bay area to see that. Do you really think that further stratification is needed?

Well, considering malloc gives a NULL pointer on failure, a crash at some point is pretty clearly inevitable.

It is quite possible to write to files, stdout, etc without using any heap memory. It can be achieved with the bare bones read/write syscalls. I'm not sure I would consider this a "best practice", but it's worth not

Right, so transportation is the big issue. Last I checked it was the big tankers involved in large volumes of international logistics that generate the most green house gasses. I am unaware of any technology, so-called "clean burning&

The fact of the matter is we've always lived in a 50/50 conspiracy world. Sure, its never as bad as the worst extreme we can think of, but its always half as bad. Not even Stalin's dictatorship, which is what 1984 is based on
