Nice, hadn't seen that before, looks like it was just added early this year.

It's just a way of getting rid of the redundant "function()" syntax. Unfortunately with bind(), we have to set the scope even though it isn't always necessary. So in this case, the first parameter "this" is also probably redundant. The old

That's what I was getting at though, the "immediate" effect could be non-existent because you already have adapted a tolerance (early as 10 days by some studies). If not, you should be able to test easily just by judging your mood about 45

From what I've read, when you block your adenosine receptors with caffeine, your body responds by creating more receptors and more adenosine. Hence why you need to drink more coffee to get that 'kick' over time. I would think you would have

Is the actual data available for download yet? I'm just seeing hundreds of meta-data XML files.

I just checked whatismyipv6.com from my LTE Verizon phone and it returned an IPv6 address. The site itself can be access from IPv4 as well but it will inform you if this happens.

If I remember correctly, people used to criticize IBM's Deep Blue for not being "real" AI because it just basically brute-forced a ton of possible play paths in the chess game. Someone then said: "Saying that Deep Blue doesn't really think

It seems there are a LOT of incompetents then. Are the payment processors you're talking about something the vendor interfaces with in the background and not a third party that is directly utilized by the customer (eg. Stripe, Paypal)?

I guess it just surprises me that the CC companies don't do it themselves. Is the additional overhead of such a feature so high such as to warrant the choice between no payment processor (x% fee per transaction) vs. third party middle guy (

by xhrpost 14y ago
Off topic but still relevant, but doesn't it seem a bit primitive that companies have to store you CC# for recurring payments? The one number that uniquely identifies your account and everyone you want to re-use it has to keep a copy. Could

This behavior has had me wondering about the experiences people are going to get about how markets work. This one being largely unregulated could turn out to be more cruel than the stock market and some people are going to face the cold rea

The "price" is whatever the last trade went for. If there are market manipulators buying up "all the shares", it would seem like a big risk as they are relying on there being enough bids within their profit range to sell them back at a prof

I'll have to look again, the JWasm needs a linker too. Sadly, I think it was the ld.exe from MinGW that I had problems with in the past :( . Yea, I'm really just doing this for the fun of it, not any actual needed reason. If the "flat" vers

Thanks. Looks like it requires Visual Studio in Windows. Was hoping to find a simple "ASM" -> "Windows EXE" tool. I might try WinASM again at home.

by xhrpost 14y ago
I think it's due to heuristic checking. I just got flagged with the WinASM mentioned in the article and McAfee on my work machine deleted the EXE automatically. I've had similar issues in the past, I think with NASM.

Is there a good Windows assembler that doesn't get flagged by anti-virus software? UPDATE: I just ran across JWAsm and haven't encountered any problems so far. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jwasm/

Sounds like a decent idea. From bottom of article: "Are you thinking of producing physical bitcoins? Do you have the resources to do any kind of mass production of a product like this and just need the magic that ensures that the product i

Are you referring to the Verified Status? That could also include people who are looking to withdraw $50k USD. Perhaps a lot of people got in early and are looking to cash out.

Everyone keeps saying that a crash is around the corner and the current price is unsustainable, been hearing it since $40/BTC, maybe earlier. I don't completely disagree, the question I keep pondering though is, if there is a big sustained

Is the part about it costing $25,000 Million to "trick the network" true any more, given the advent of ASICs into the mining arena? User 67117 on BTC Guild is currently processing 6,348.98 GH/s, or roughly 10% of the entire mining network.

I was expecting to see this kind of comment. Not that I entirely disagree but isn't there something to be said about all the layers the author mentions having been directly designed by humans and not pre-existing facts of nature (minus a fe

I would have to agree with the later approach as well. I have some limited experience hiring and I would say that I've learned some valuable lessons. One is that the "other dimensions" you list, which I assume are things like ability to wor

Pretty awesome. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly certain this won't work in Windows 7 - 64 Bit as 16-bit COM applications are no longer supported. I've tried to go back and get my simple COM programs from Assembly class at college to
