Are you sure that this has to do with Dark Energy? Dark Energy is an unknown form of energy that must appear in Einstein's equation in order to make the universe accelerate at its current rate. Are you saying that:

1. Dark Energy only makes the space near it expand and has little to no effect on faraway regions?

2. Dark Energy is not present in places which has high matter density. Therefore, space in places with high matter density do not expand at the same rate as other regions (which contain Dark energy)?
Exactly, C++ has been around for a very long time, so much runs on it, depends on it, and it is not going anywhere any time in our lifetimes, I'm certain of that. That makes it a very valuable skill. You can always study the newer languages when interested in them (I find them all fascinating), but for a deep leg into the way the industry works at its core, I think knowing C++ gets you very far. Google touts Go a lot, but so much of Google's tools are actually C++ at heart (protobufs and Chrome for example), and Apple touts Swift and has its own frameworks in Objective-C and now Swift, but under the hood, so much of their toolkits and the language of Swift itself are implemented in C++; nearly all cross-platform games we know and love for a wide variety of devices and OS are C++ -- my point is that it is a crucial language and it does not hurt to understand it.

Ah, cheers for the correction, it's unfortunate I can't edit it =(
As a parent I can very much see why 'child porn users' should be on the receiving end of some discipline. The market they create is what eventually causes the problem, there is no way that their urges will not lead to trouble unless they keep themselves in check (and I'm sure plenty do).

As far as the 'hating drug users' bit goes, I don't particularly like drug users, but to me they're less of a problem than the people that make the drug laws in the first place. Drug addicts are patients just as child porn consumers are patients but in the case of the drug addicts there exists a possible world where their addiction does not have to lead to murderous Mexican drug gangs. I don't see a way in which a child porn consumer gets to have his/her kicks without having to abuse a child and that's why for me the two are different.

> The latter in itself it harmless - many parents take photos of their children in the bath, etc. But somehow it transforms from good to worse-than-bad if someone gets sexual pleasure from it.

This is the law being abused and it is a pity that this is the case. But when normal people use the world child porn they are most likely not talking about parents taking pictures of their children in the bath. If that is your view of what child porn constitutes then I'm really happy for you. Run a site where you can upload videos for a while and do the reviewing, then we'll have this talk again.

Yes, the architecture on which you're most likely reading this (x86 or x64) also has semi-dedicated string handling instructions, akin to higher level string functions.

For example, a string copy 'instruction' that copies a 0 terminated string from one location to another looks like this:

lea esi, source_string
lea edi, dest_string
repnz movsb ; copies esi -> edi until *esi = 0
We don't donate to OSS software which we use, because we're legally not allowed to.

I routinely send key projects, particularly smaller projects, a request to quote me a commercial license of their project, with the explanation that I would accept a quote of $1,000 and that the commercial license can be their existing OSS license plus an invoice. My books suggest we've spent $3k on this in 2015. My bookkeeper, accountant, and the IRS/NTA are united on this issue: they don't care whether a software license is OSS or not. A $1k invoice is a $1k invoice; as a software company, I have virtually carte blanche to expense any software I think is reasonably required, and I think our OSS is reasonably required.

I would do this more often if OSS projects made it easier for me to do so. Getting me to pay $1,000 for software is easy; committing me to doing lots of admin work over the course of a week is less easy. Take a look at what e.g. http://sidekiq.org/ , which is an OSS project with a commercial model, does. Two clicks gets me to a credit card form. If I actually used Sidekiq, Mike would have had my credit card on file the day that form went up.
That makes sense. Thanks for explaining it. It would be nice to have sector tags but I guess I'll keep digging through to find those healthcare articles!

Carbon Black – A Global Market Overview
Theory is of course relevant when the implementation of it, and the environment that it's implemented in, is what is poisoned.

It's easy for us to sit at our desks and churn out our work and be mad. And there's things to be mad about for sure. The wanton disregard for civil liberty and protection is simply irredeemable. And to be sure, I've been a fan of your country's very public responses over the last few years to personal privacy. I hope the US legislature can learn a thing or two.

But It's not the "five eyes". It's the entire world. Any country with an interest in protecting their sovereignty also has some form of information gathering operation.

When that operation gets big and exposes itself, folks get upset because, yeah, being spied on isn't a comfortable thing. Do some countries go about gathering this information more morally than others? Something tells me we'd have to be in the secret inner sanctums of the biggest opponents to really know, and I think the answer would be "a spade is a spade."

Does it help our countries protect themselves? I honestly don't know.

But I do know that "grey hatting" in the general development community doesn't garner this sort of bile and venom. I don't know why being a grey hat for a government should be treated differently.

Sounds like an excuse to not donate - or did you ever get a response? Why not just donate $100 once and feel good about it?
If you don't have many languages under your belt (and wanting to spend 3-4
months and asking for advice what to choose suggests that), you don't really
want to go with a language that popped semi-stable only several months ago,
hence will be most probably a subject to deep changes (either in the language
itself or in standard library). Rust is not (yet) the way to go.
This is quite interesting next to the kind of exposure that VW is getting and the kind of fines involved there.
I'm pretty sure that once we subject current human population to natural selection that was in effect in paleolithe, everyone who survives a year later will be pretty fit.
Junior level is when you know all language features, and are starting to learn the ecosystem of tools and libraries.

You're probably much smarter or more dedicated than me if you feel this level can be reached in a much shorter time.
Well yeah.. "of course" would I say. Doesn't "everybody"? You have to assume something when you write a paper or debate. It would be pretty tedious and difficult if you have to debate every basic existential questions every time you write or say something. It seriously dampens the progress.
I prefer reading the "new" stories more than the front page. For convenience, I also have this running on my Linux box:

So I can grep for interesting stuff when I have time.

The Animatrix seems like a real example of something along those lines. A DVD of 6 short episodes that expanded on the Matrix story universe. They were done by different directors/writers/makers, like authorised fanfic or something. In my opinion it was a great addition, better than the full-blown sequels, and certainly not a distasteful cash-grab.

I think this could totally work for something like Inception too. The film has a backstory suggests at a wider context beyond what's shown in the scenes. Most stories do. That's why fanfiction exists.
I think this is great. A WebGL version of this would be great too
10 British startups to look out for in 2016
The search functionality sounds interesting if, somehow, it actually finds things that Google doesn't, but there's no way I'd sign up to something (regardless of price; even if it's free) to try out a search feature. Google is good enough. I don't need to give out my email address to search for things, so I won't.
You're missing missing the OpenGL Utility library. Possibly more.
I haven't touched this particular game, but from experience cracking just takes a lot of time but is never impossible, unless the program is using something you have no control over like a DRM chip or something like that. Even then, everything has holes.

You can use the strongest encryption but at some point you need to have the game decrypted in memory. You can have a tonne of obfuscation but not enough that would hinder the game's performance. As long as you have control over the machine that runs it, you can crack it. It's just a matter of time and making the cracker so bored that they just give up. Which is what is happening here.

But they will succeed, or someone else will.

I'm curious if they implement some sort of rootkit or a bootkit. Those are pretty hard to deal with, relatively. But uhm... history repeats itself. [1]

Don't know who wrote this; these are Spanish words, but as a sentence, it is barely understandable.
Is it better to have the atrocities committed upon a person by a stranger, or by their government, which is charged to protect them?

Let's put this to a test. Would you rather have 2 family members get killed in a drive-by shooting? Or would you rather have 1 family member get executed by the state? And I don't mean this as a hypothetical. Picture your mom/dad/siblings, imagine them getting killed, and can you honestly say that it's preferable for 1 additional family member to get killed as long as the government isn't involved?
The paragraph is saying that "absolutely no evidence of pixelation even if your face is an inch from the set", so my interpretation is that in normal viewing distance even zoomed in video will look perfect: "That’s not a realistic viewing scenario, but on the production side of the equation, it means digitally zooming an image without affecting picture quality will be a reality."
I can't find any diff viewer or git client that integrates directly into any file browser in Linux, like I get with the (FOSS) TortoiseGit and the ~$50 Beyond Compare diff tool i use which I've been using on many projects for years...

I can't even find a diff/patch tool on any platform as good as BC. It has all sorts of heuristics and plugins for different file types and a ton of really advanced features that are easily accessible from it's UI. And those are just 2 of my most basic tools that I use heavily (and I use the keyboard to do everything).

Moving onto text editors, I think the choices on Linux are basically like having to choose between learning Klingon or Vulcan. It's exhausting just thinking about it.
The concept is great. There was the story of the guy who heated his swimming pool with miners.

No and no. Strictly proprietary technology which gives a real competitive advantage. Fun thing is, if you choose your data structures wisely, it's not even that hard to write; it ended up being under 2k lines of C++ code.

GC was offline though; it was performed at the time the container was "upgraded" from RO to RW access. I don't think it'd be difficult to make it online, but there was no need for that.

I like your page, good minimalism. Also, I like the why you handled branding. I got a good feel of the talent behind the scene. But there are couple of things you need to take care. Some are critical too.

The main thing as everyone spotted you required a good short description. It's better to put a short description just below the message about the problem that you are trying to solve. for example, if you take basecamp landing page, they give more focus to the heading - “Work together the easy way”. Just after that, they had a short description about the problem they solve - “Basecamp’s unique blend of tools is everything any team needs to stay on the same page about whatever they’re working on. There’s nothing else like it!”. From this, I got a gist of what basecamp do.

Once you add the short description, bring the early access button to upfront. Then it makes sense. It will be like in an order message, short description and call to action. check this http://i.imgur.com/vUxKt5B.png I made small modification on your web page.

Another thing I like to say is about the timeline. For me, When I saw it in first glance, I felt it as a screenshot of actual product. But I later got confused. it seems more like a design that you added for aesthetic because inside the timeline slice there is no text saying like for example “Release 1.0.5” instead a green rectangle. If it's an actual screenshot make it a bit more intuitive. It's just a suggestion.

If possible, try to add a bit more drilled down information on page scrolling. Because sometimes people require a bit more details. for example, you can refer basecamp website. On the website as you scroll more details information starts coming and make more sense to the app. Even you are in early access stage but still you require some more supporting descriptions. Which helps you to get more clicks from your target audience.

Also, I suggest putting your address/country. Becuase I like to know where are you from? :). Nice to see a lot of energy. All the best to your team.

Peace
The company is not simply a magic mask I can put on and off at will; it is constrained by the laws of Japan and the United States, particularly with regards to taxes. Both countries are very lenient with regards to necessary business expenses (必須経費 over here). Neither particularly likes arbitrary money moving out of the company; that smacks of unreported income.

The company has books. All money into the company and out of the company is recorded on those books, in a fashion meeting various legal requirements of both countries. If I say "Donation" next to a line item and the NTA reviews it they'll say "Not allowed; adjust this item to be a distribution to yourself, pay income taxes on it, and don't do this again or we'll be very cross with you." If it says "Software license" the 99.999% case is "Seems reasonable" and the 0.001% case is "Random line-item audit: produce the documentation about this", to which I say "Here's an invoice" and they say "Alrighty then."

Sounds like an excuse to not donate

Again, I do not donate. I just send checks for thousands of dollars to OSS projects.

Junior level is when you know all language features

Wow, in that case I don't think I've ever worked with anybody who's ever managed to reach "junior level" in any language. What do you call someone with, for example, just a PhD in the relevant field, 6 or 7 years of professional programming experience and several successfully shipped products under his belt. And what do you call the guy that is obviously his junior?
From the fine article:

"Prolonged and excessive aerobic exercise efforts such as
marathons, ultra-marathons, full-distance triathlons, and
very-long-distance bicycle rides are inconsistent with our
genetic heritage. The pattern of exercise for which we are
genetically adapted involves a diversity of activities
performed intermittently, at moderate intensities and
moderate durations. Even in highly trained individuals,
high-intensity, multi-hour endurance exercise effort is
associated with damage to the myocardial cells and
connective tissue."

If your idea of hunter-gatherer fitness is running marathons all day, perhaps reading the article would enlighten you otherwise?

edit: See Table 2 in particular for a list of hunter-gatherer activities and corresponding modern activities. Note only 1 or 2 out of 13 activities involves running.
If you're going to say that crime victims can exercise judgement to avoid becoming victims, the exact same thing can be said for a defendant in criminal court. "If you didn't go out at night, if you didn't keep the wrong friends, if you stayed home with your family who can serve as your alibi, you wouldn't be charged with this crime." Saying that potential crime victims should limit how they live their lives, but potential defendants shouldn't have to, is a double standard.
Do you have any application or service ideas?
That's a cool idea. Curation will become hugely important on OpenBazaar as well. I'd recommend getting on the platform early and curating awesome store content across the network for your followers, e.g. @shoes could find the best shoes on the network and post links to them for their followers to find easier.

Perhaps a nice project to learn both is to write a (simple) Go compiler in Rust :)

In the same spirit as https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_...

Go is not a very complicated language. The main difficulty of writing a Go compiler would be to write the garbage collector, but you can easily skip that part by not collecting any garbage :)

I think you are missing the point. It is widely understood in the C++ world that no one needs to know "all language features" and in reality, almost no one does. It's not a language where that is necessary or expected because the language is large and has a tremendous range of uses, and no one needs all of it for a particular project or focus.

But you can most certainly learn all the basics of writing good C++ code, and interop with great C++ libraries and get real stuff done, in fairly short time. It took me about a month to go from Objective-C to C++ and start publishing iOS apps written almost entirely in C++. And if you don't need that, you can start writing command-line utilities in a few days at most.
My cynical assumption is that visiting through smile.amazon.com may be used as a pricing indicator, suggesting a tolerance for higher prices.

I really hope I'm wrong, but it's the reason I never use it. Online stores use all sorts of weird things as pricing indicators.

Yeah we can eventually make it a single click, plus you would be paying directly to people you already know/ trust / admire or whatever, plus it's micropayments; maybe 10 cents to read an article from your favorite blogger.

I agree that problems exist in 'highly centralised, statist systems', but we shouldn't limit ourself to only two working models; the capitalist model of Western democracies, and the centrally controlled statist systems that exist elsewhere. There are plenty of other ways to organise an economy. If we can be open to new ideas I'm sure we'd be able to design a system that worked better than even the least worst system we have today (better in the sense of more fairness, less corruption). I can go into specifics if you want. I'm assuming you also have ideas about how we could improve the economy, would be interested to hear those also.

Before that, I'd ask if the implementation of OCaml's map is at all similar to the implementation of Immutable.js's Map. Different internal data structures/algorithms are probably the most likely explanation for any difference. Still, it's nice to see a benchmark that shows how OCaml compiled to JS is competitive in performance, even when compared to a very popular library that is known for performing well.
One can have the ability to play middleman, but it will be ultimately futile, if there's nothing to play middleman for. Getting things to consumers first requires that there be a thing, which requires a creative act. Investors and executives can certainly help to facilitate those creative acts, but why should that give them first claim to 99% of the proceeds? It's certainly not a risk premium when those people glide away while the creators get screwed. It's pure rent, in the economics sense.
