Guys, don't do this. There are OS-specific APIs to do this stuff efficiently. No, that's not portable. No, those APIs aren't "nice to use". But it's the "right" way to do it. When you do that kind of

That's total administrative cost. Given that (current) Medicare has high administrative costs as well, there's no reason to believe that the US will suddenly do much better with all its regulations. Either way, whether it is 2%

I am talking about actual Medicare, which causes big losses for hospitals. Those need to be covered, that is my point. You can not just import other nations healthcare systems. Those are cheaper because the doctors and nurses earn less and

Medicare for all would easily bankrupt hospitals. The money needs to come from somewhere. Either force people to buy insurance or raise taxes massively. Pick your poison.

You can also "easily" forget to call bind. In other languages, methods are simply bound by default. What's the argument for not doing it that way (besides "implementation details")? Why would you rebind a method i

It has nothing to do with OOP. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of another OOP language where "this" (or "self") works the way it does in Javascript. There are pitfalls associated with it and I can't think of

by zeroname 8y ago
That's not the takeaway at all. The article basically insinuates that you shouldn't use sunscreen, that you should expose yourself to the sun for health reasons and that Vitamin D supplements are actually useless.

Is there margin trading on any of these junk coins? Doesn't seem like a good idea to offer something like that, given the relatively low liquidity/volume.
174.
by zeroname 8y ago
The only way to profit is to double-spend, so you'll have to buy or already own a substantial amount of those junk coins and then sell them. After you performed the attack, those coins that you now could theoretically sell again may be

Same outcome. How am I going to convince those cat owners that I totally fixed the dogs-eating-the-cats problem? Cats don't even need to be walked really, certainly not alongside the dogs. Putting the cats into the equation was a quest

It's a good metric to conclude that you should stop walking cats, no matter what the underlying issue is.

Sailfish has a crappy Android simulation layer. You don't really want that on the Desktop. Android and Desktop Linux are completely different platforms, except maybe for the graphics APIs (Vulkan/OpenGL).

Maybe, but many Linux users would also complain that the Linux version is more expensive.

by zeroname 8y ago
I think you're in denial. If developers need to get this, that and the other thing right specifically for Linux , but it's still only 0.1% of sales, then it's just not worth doing - even if there aren't any bugs.
