this post and many of the comments here don't necessarily have a "semiotic" or "usage-based language acquisition" or "emergent-grammar" nature about them ...

which is fine ... just different results ...

specifically:

1. meaning is usage.
2. structure emerges from usage.

this post and many of the comments have a world view akin to:

1. meaning is structure.
2. usage emerges from structure.

what i mean by this is that the "analysis" of the text doesn't exist in the same "world" as the text.

meaning that its nothing like "real" (natural) language.

what i mean further by this is simple:

humans don't "use" natural language... it is an emergent property of other systems of externalized behaviors and such by individual humans.

and such emergent properties and systems are also evident in any development of this actual system and many of the comments here.

producing the comprehension introduces in-comprehensible things ... or at best just divorces systems (discontinuous) ... at which point any thing can be any thing, so debating it as such here doesn't even matter (value) .

im not exactly sure what im saying here but it is akin to:

1. nthorder cybernetics (mostly like 3rd and 4th and such)
2. autopoesis (humberto maturana and francisco valera)

im going through the same type of analysis regarding "activity stream" type APIs which use an "actor verb object" type form ... (usage from structure) ...
You can easily do your != et al from < thing by using CRTP inheriting from a 'comparable' template class that provides the implementations. Sort of thing that should be in std really.
The vast majority of my code is either in scripted uncompiled form, or statically linked. Wordpress implied a while back that using uncompiled GPL libraries made your code GPL. I'm no license expert, I'd rather just not risk it.
One more thing that shut down the Concorde was the post-9/11 increase in security procedures at airports, greatly diminshing the relative advantage of supersonic flights. If getting on the plane takes an extra (unpleasant) 45 minutes on each end, then the percentage time savings from supersonic flight is reduced.
The updated readme at http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llgo/trunk/README.TXT mentions the following:

"llgo is under active development. It compiles and passes most of the
standard library test suite and a substantial portion of the gc test suite,
but there are some corner cases that are known not to be handled correctly
yet. Nevertheless it can compile modestly substantial programs (including
itself; it is self hosting on x86-64 Linux)"

so it has come quite a bit farther, it seems.
For some strange reason I felt compelled to read all the way to the end. But it didn't start off well; I think I would have been content to live out the rest of my life without hitting up Wikipedia to see what "cheese mites" were.

Car makers work hard to get emissions to be as stable as possible in all running states. For instance, cars have an air injection pump for the purpose of getting the CC to do its job sooner by increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas. It starts at a high RPM when you first cold start the engine.

It's a little strange the subtitle used is "Salmiakki". That's the Finnish term for salty liquorice but that section discusses it in general terms, not from a Finnish perspective. It just so happened that the version he tried was salmiakki from Finland.

It is complicated, yes.

As seen from the protestant point of view, Jesuits can appear "orthodox" because they are very knowledgeable, etc. and determined; but inside the Catholic world, they were perceived to be "leftists", so to speak.

Traditionalists vigorously opposed them. Among the reasons: they argued it was ok to receive communion five times a year...! (instead of just one).

The history of the Catholic church is a fight between modernists (Jesuists among them) and "orthodox heresies" (not an oxymoron!) -- in the end, modernists always win (see Vatican II, the new Pope Francis, etc.)

I love roudabouts. I've seen the great use of them the very first time I've used them. I've always thought of traffic patterns as being the largest time suck of our modern lives. Two solutions to this. Install roundabouts or take over the stop light manufacturing and production in America with a startup. Sadly neither have happened due to the large need of capital to make either happen.
You're wrong about pedestrians. The crossings are upstream of the roundabout and you only have to deal with two directions of traffic.

Again, I think the best answer is simply the one he gave:

He didn't anticipate it. In other words, he learned something about himself.

Hopefully that happens all the time to all of us, and hopefully we have the courage to do what we consider the most conscionable thing, even if we know it will may unpopular.

Simple educations campaigns would solve the driver education issue. Get all networks to run ads with celebrities showing how to drive in a roundabout. You could throw in some non-texting message while at it.

The ignorance argument is difficult to agree with because every country has had to introduce them to an uneducated population at some point. You could have used the same argument against traffic lights.

It's not a matter of people delaying or impacting flights, it's a matter of the flight being less appealing with inevitable security wait times.

Requiring anything like this will only make an already niche service less accessible with no benefit.
You can't discuss roundabouts without a mention of the magic roundabout in Swindon, UK. A big roundabout made up of 5 small roundabouts.

I encountered it once and don't ever intend to do so again.
It stretches the concept of "human powered". Why not just pedal while stationary to charge a battery (take as long as you like), and then ride the course with no additional expenditure of effort.

I mean really, the rules are the rules, and there is no ambiguity. So a "strict reading of the rules" is the same thing as a "reading of the rules." Because, as you say, there is no such thing as a reading of the rules that violates the rules and is thus merely "less strict."

For example, under the rules, not moving a piece you touched and promoting to the other color are the same: illegal.

The examples you are giving are simply cases where the other player is likely to let you break the rules if it's a very casual game.

So again, having "strictly" in the sentence is, technically, purely redundant.

It's a dumb thing to say, but then again, it probably made the piece more suspenseful and thus more fun to read.
Light traffic residential areas are a perfect place for them. There's nothing more annoying than observing a stop sign in an empty road. I have roundabout near me and when there is no traffic on the roundabout you just drive through it. The residential roundabouts have only a slightly raised centre so you can drive through in almost a straight line.

Late at night when there is no traffic it saves having to stop at all.
What are your tips for introverts to communicate in project more effectively?
FWIW, this article doesn't concern regular supersonic flights but 'fly-pasts at air shows and made available for corporate and special events, as well as for private charter.'

As to your question, it rather depends on the cost, doesn't it?

To start with, it saved about 4 hours on the Paris/NYC connection, not "an hour or two." If it were only $400 more to save 4 hours of overseas travel, then many would jump at it, and find it a real advantage.
"I find traffic signals much nicer as a pedestrian"

You may find them nicer, but they are not safer. The data already shows roundabouts are safer. As the article reports: "researchers have found that roundabouts reduce [...] pedestrian/cyclist incidents by 40%"
But the roundabout saved them. If they were not paying attention, as clearly they weren't, then they could have had a collision in the centre of an intersection. Better to end up in the he Center than t-boning a car.
Regarding

drawline

You can always define an implicit constructor:

Point::Point(const Library::Point &p)

Of course, you're now hiding a ticking time-bomb from a the next maintainer of that code.

If you absolutely want the latter case, overloading is your friend:

drawline(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2);
drawline(Point p1, Point p2) {
drawline(p1.x, p1.y, p2.x, p2.y);
}

This, in my opinion, is the most conducive to refactoring (and modularizing code).

As an aside, you really should be doing:

drawline => drawlines

"Where's the one, there's many."
You could use Agner Fog's vector class, but keep in mind that just using a vector class isn't always the best idea: http://www.agner.org/optimize/#vectorclass
This is more convenient but less secure than a straight-up hash. If an attacker compromises the JQuery signing key, they could still serve malicious files. With a hash, the authenticity is ONLY dependant on the TLS connection to the main website, e.g. github.

TL;DR:

* hash: need to compromise the main website, that supplies (and authenticates) the hash

* signature by CDN: attacker can either compromise the main website OR <del>the third party CDN</del> <ins>author/signer of the third-party resource</ins>

Quote from [1]: "Application, its dependencies and the core library are bundled up using Browserify, then packed into ramdisk image for kernel to use."

Since runtime.js uses browserify which itself is not able to handle binary/non-JS dependencies - i would say "no".

But this is just a conclusion and not an answer-by-knowledge.

Did a quick test with bcrypt.

It failed - in contrast to a pure-JS "hello world" test.

The point is that California had an exceptionally bad problem, which is why the response was so stringent.
But... the compiler can't catch that incorrect translation code. The developer takes MyPoint and unpacks it into two doubles, then hands it to the YourPoint constructor and forgets to invert Y.

That's the point. The compiler is useless here, and this kind of glue code is probably 60+% of what developers are actually writing in practice.

But this site wants us to sit down and write a ton of boilerplate to handle a "Point" abstraction (complete with a full operator suite I'm sure, yada yada) just to solve a problem that can't be solved in the first place.
Great thoughts. You've highlighted some of our hurdles. I helped develop the app with Robert.

There does seem to be a trend to make passwords less restrictive (or at least longer). For example, Schwab just removed their ridiculous 8-character restriction this summer. Hopefully that continues.

In the meantime, we address that issue a few ways:
1) we have a report card that you can check while writing a recipe that guides you toward producing more universally accepted passwords
2) if you find a password still doesn't work for a particular site, you can affix a "note" to that recipe so you can record the adaptation (e.g. "change $ to &")

I use Password Chef for everything, and have a surprisingly few amount of notes. So few, in fact, that I have memorized the adaptation I need to make for most of them.

Thanks so much for the comment!
Self-extraction isn't any sort of additional security vulnerability if what you're using it for is to install a program that you're going to be executing.

(For installing non-executable material, it does elevate the risk.)
As a compiler developer I honestly shudder reading this. From the last example:

> $ node

> "5" + "1"

> '51'

> "5" - "1"

> 4

How is this in anyway reasonable behavior? '+' is string concatenation but '-' is interpret these strings as numbers and perform arithmetic?

Does the principle of least surprise apply here?

I think one of the problems here is that the discussion of how bad linked lists are switches back and forth between taking about Rust specifically and linked lists generally.

Also, I think performance claims, especially ones as strong as the ones in that document, should be avoided without substantiation.
Indeed, and the complete lack of credit for the idea on the makeself page is irritating.

It's written from the point of view of "I invented this neat idea of producing a self-extracting archive that is a shell script".

The opening paragraph desperately needs a sentence which begins like this: "This is similar to the traditional shar that we all know about, but better because ...".
I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but a lot of it is very incorrect and has a strong anti-pharma bias. For example:

> Paradoxically if they were stepping away from the monoamine hypothesis, they would produce polymonoamine regulatory drugs which would more subtly manipulate multiple monoamines in order to get the desired modulation of maloperating neural circuits, the target du jour.

The suggestion that pharmaceutical companies aren't exploring other pathways has never been more wrong, as we have quite a few very novel compounds in the pipeline that operate through very different pathways. Search for my other comment in this thread where I listed several of the other pathways and medications being explored.

Furthermore, I'm confused by your simultaneous dismissal of the monoamine hypothesis and insistence that "polymonoamine" drugs are the way to go, which isn't compatible with your assertion that the monoamine hypothesis is false. For what it's worth, there are several drugs in the pipeline that work through different combinations of monoaminergic pathways, but the most promising developments are actually in drugs that don't work through monoaminergic pathways at all (e.g. NSI-189, GABA-A5 antagonists, and so on.)
>'+' is string concatenation but '-' is interpret these strings as numbers and perform arithmetic?

That's precisely it.

You cannot subtract a string so it coerces "5" and "4" to integers instead of treating them as strings. So it results in 5 - 4.

The first concatenates two strings, "5" and "1" and results in "51".

It's perfectly reasonable behavior. If you want to add numbers you should give it integers - namely 5 and 1 instead of two strings "5" and "1".

The unreasonable behavior is giving integers as strings.
Massive for servers?

BSD is a minority in servers, which also reflect my own experience talking with other sysadmins in conferences. Debian and Redhat are huge in the server market, outside of windows shops. Some older system might have novel or a BSD system running together with massive amount of legacy perl scripts, but those companies also complain that they have a hard time finding new employees that can support the old systems.
I see. I suppose the only down side of using the CoreOS version is having to wait for it to be updated when new minor releases come out with new features/improvements.
The metaphor of software being like literature is flawed. It is more apt to deem it an edifice. Buildings, much like software, are absolutely ubiquitous. Chances are on average you don't intimately understand the workings of contemporary civil engineering.

And, while you should absolutely be able to modify your house, the reality is a lot of other buildings are off-limits to you or purpose-built for a specific recipient or cause. Indeed, a huge amount of software is designed to be sold to specific contractors and not to the public at large. Nor will the public realistically have the chance to modify most of the software they interact with, either because they're just circuits, dumb terminals or another reason.

Thirdly, software is permanent, modulo bit rot. That is to say most people can be satisfied entirely by existing written solutions. Simple task automation, scripts and macros can be self-taught if the person sees an opportunity. Actually creating legitimately new things requires a deep proficiency in a problem domain that a pedestrian knowledge of programming will not satisfy.

Also, if you're going to promote ideals for governments, I strongly suggest you promote free software, not open source.

ORTC is a W3C standard feature (http://ortc.org/) currently requesting for implementations.

For this specific demo we wanted to demo ORTC to ORTC communication so you need 2 browsers that support it. At this moment only Microsoft Edge on the latest insider flight does.

There are several initiatives to make the bridge between ORTC and WebRTC: simplewebrtc.com/audio.html is one that does that for audio.

If being able to interact with computer is modern age definition of literacy similar to how it was with reading a book, why is it a bad thing to be able to use someones apps? Isn't it same as reading books written by others? I do agree that being able to program a computer is an important knowledge to have, just like it is important to be able to write, but that doesn't imply that using others software/apps is any inferior. Also, how we program computers might be drastically different 10 years down the line, with ML getting into the mix. Learners are to compilers what compilers were to assemblers.
Programmers are the 21st century's clergy. Only we can read and speak to the great digital gods in the clouds and our institutions (though rarely we ourselves) derive great power from their position between the layman and the benevolent providers of addictive flash games and digital watches.

there is a linguistic research called "usage based" and also "emergent grammar" that i find interesting regarding subjects like this:

1. meaning is usage.
2. structure emerges from usage.

meaning we don't use grammar to produce language, it is an emergent property (irreducible) of "pre-linguistic pragmatics" ...
