Android used to use it own process-based virtual machine; Dalvik. This is not the case anymore. Now Android Runtime (ART) is used. Applications are compiled to native machine code upon installation. There is no virtual machine.
But you're comparing apples and pears. This 'ugly hack' is - for obvious reasons - not what 90% of software on your iPhone is actually using to manipulate strings. Instead, the ugly hack known as NSString tidily wraps the char buffer, its byte-length, possibly an offset - most application developers never deal with null-terminated strings!

So in other words, I don't really understand why you are arguing for replacing a standard - one that works well for its purposes, mind you - with another when this has in fact already happened. And even less I understand why you are trying to frame a good and sound engineering decision as somehow a mistake?
Overall mortality in some states exceeds 60%. There is a threat with multiple causes - one of these is the use of pesticides on nearby crops. There were massive reported losses in some states due to neonicitoid laced dust from automatic planters.

Having worked in federal politics, I can confirm that the notion that "democracy is fundamentally broken" is something far more frequently heard from those who have little-to-no experience in politics, than those who have seen the good and bad of politics' inner workings. In fact, I've never heard it from somebody who works in politics, and those are some of the most jaded people I've ever come across.

IMHO, democracy is definitely not broken, and it's biggest threat stems from those who peddle in FUD relating to government & democracy. Essentially, things aren't as bad as most would like you to believe, and individuals getting involved in politics are the ones with the biggest influence in politics. It's far more accessible than many would have you believe, especially because politics runs on the hard work of young people, who then become insiders, write policy, and affect change.
Absolutely. I have a comp sci degree, I was able to obtain first class results by learning intensively for an average of two months before each set of exams (having not attended any lectures at all).
I also went from a D grade in maths GCSE to an A* with a months work.

I am not that smart - it's just that standard schooling is terribly inefficient. And if you ask me, it's inefficient in this respect because it's not really about learning. It's about keeping kids somewhere while their parents go to work - so that more value can be extracted from the working population. Oh and also about teaching the children to be good little employees.

>It's not going to be a particularly interesting thread if everyone who works in a language that trends higher than Go on Google chimes in to say "you should learn my language instead, because it's more popular".

I think C++ is unique in that it is really not as popular as many new languages, not as trendy and as much in the news, and not even taught as much in college programs, yet, it remains the language where so many jobs are. This gives anyone with the desire to learn it a good and marketable skill that can make it possibly easier to find work and continue making a living doing software development. That does not apply to Rust, so I think it's a fair point to make to anyone who is asking about what languages are good to learn.

As for whether C++ has any techniques to teach that Rust does not, C++ is definitely a unique experience to go through and certainly gives a developer more insight into the actual machine they are working on in a way that few languages do.
I'm from Germany and funny enough the ubiquitous online banking infrastructure here was sleeping for decades not providing a simple unified payment solution for their customers, staying dormant while PayPal took all the market.

It was so bad that the only serious contender is now the bank independent "sofortüberweisung.de" which literally MITM's your online banking session and screen scrapes your data while you enter your PINs on their portal (I'm not making this up).

So its a tragedy that you have to support PayPal for us Germans, but in the end the imbeciles in the German banks are to blame.

"The" language where so many jobs are? It's one of many.

> As for whether C++ has any techniques to teach that Rust does not, C++ is definitely a unique experience to go through and certainly gives a developer more insight into the actual machine they are working on in a way that few languages do.

Can you name, specifically, a way in which C++ gives you "more insight into the actual machine" compared to Rust?
If I'm not mistaken, you my friend have been seduced by the rhetorical device of antimetabole[1]. Ask not what language can do for you, ask what you can do for language! Er...

Go is a lot easier to learn than Rust, and there are jobs programming Go available now. This means that you could be working professionally with Go quite soon.

Rust is more challenging, and there aren't many jobs available yet. But there is a possibility for Rust to displace C/C++ for certain classes of applications, and that is a very big deal. Also, skill in a more difficult language is a scarce commodity. If Rust does take off and you're one of the relatively few people who understand it well, this would make make you quite valuable.
The problem with most people's complaints seems to be that PayPal doesn't look at your business and say they'll need a $20K surety. They just seem say nothing and then grab the money without warning, leaving people to scramble for cash. If they made a deal in advance it would be much more civilized.
Corruption is mostly tied to poverty, not economic systems.

I currently live in the Middle East, and I don't see the connection you are claiming. I see poor Indians being brought in to build skyscrapers in Dubai (one of the most capitalist areas of the world) and Qatar, living in shipping containers, having their passports taken by their employers (trapping them in the country); religious laws that protect rapists over their victims. The major sources of corruption here are not linked to the economic systems, but to greed and religion.

Other compilers for ML-family languages to Javascript:

SMLtoJS (whose site at http://www.smlserver.org/smltojs/ perhaps ironically seems to be down at the moment), which compiles the full Standard ML language (though not the full Basis library)

Yetiscript (https://www.npmjs.com/package/yetiscript) which compiles (a very close approximation of) the Yeti language (http://mth.github.io/yeti/)

Looks like there are some F# options as well, though I haven't tried any and I don't know what the relationship between e.g. Websharper and Funscript is.

Any others?

Of course not everybody has problems with PayPal. If they did, PayPal would have been dead by now. But there have been way too many cases where PayPal clearly took money that wasn't theirs, and thereby endangered business and customer interests. Even one such case should be enough to disqualify them as payment provider. It is not their money. They should just enable the transaction.

Yes, trademark is much longer. But it also has a lot of caveats. Namely you can lost trademarks.
Taking money that isn't yours isn't a risk mitigation strategy; it's theft. Calling it a freeze is pretty mild. It is not PayPal's money. The customer didn't intend that money for PayPal, but for the merchant. By freezing that money, PayPal is endangering the transaction that they should be enabling.
Except that you'd lose that bidding war with Disney.
I think trying to fake being sighted is a losing proposition, whether initially successful or not.

What tools and devices are available now that help mitigate blindness (in a productivity sense)? Are there certain areas of engineering where being blind is less of a productivity hit (vs. being fully sighted) than others?

There's a lot of prejudice, sure, but there is also a desire on the part of large employers to demonstrate inclusiveness and diversity.

You'd think there'd be some way to delay shipping for a couple of days while someone checks if the card is stolen. Maybe they could have some way of just calling the card owner and asking if they ordered a hoverboard?

This is good advice. I am totally confused by the Rust vs Go debate. They occupy such different spaces.
Why is PayPal not dead? My guess is that it works well enough for most people. Gamble that you won't be the one to get your account frozen, and you might be okay. And I guess a lot of companies aren't aware of the risk of doing business with PayPal.

But PayPal exists primarily because there's no reliable international internet payment infrastructure that allows direct payment from one real bank account to the other. We've for a system for that in Netherland, and every Dutch webshop uses it, but works only for payments within the country. We need something like that on an international scale.
Or take a look at Gobolinux, that applies that to the whole distro.

An easy formula is just based on the age of the work. So you get (say) 20 years for free, but after that you have to pay more. Disney wants Mickey Mouse? They'd have to pay millions per year. If it's not worth it to them, they can just not pay it.

Your absolutely right. When I started learning about Angular / React these starter kits are scary! I used to checkout and run `npm install`, it does install say at least 50MB of modules, which I don't even have clue on them.

Then myself slowly started with damn simple project only with Angular dep and then slowly move upwards as required. That was indeed gave a good learning.

The above statement does hold true for starter kits, not only Angular.
Did they pay interest over your money? Getting your money late can still be very costly for some businesses.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'statistically' above.

In general you can't say whether a sample size of 2000 will get you within a specific margin of error without additional information. It very much depends e.g. on what the hypothesis you're testing is or what you're trying to estimate.
I wonder whether the extensions are US only ? I understand that Disney has the capacity to protect their trademarks all over the world, but I guess that there has to be several countries where derivative works from the existing locally expired copyrights can already be created. So, in such countries, wouldn't it be possible to use the exact same characters to create new works (comics for example) if you name it differently ?
And the corollary of that is how the copyrights/trademarks issues are handled by the various treaties negociated now (TAFTA, TPP, MEFTA, FTAA, TTIP). To be really effective worldwide, copyright extensions are to be validated everywhere otherwise, it would be of limited effect. So it would be interesting to know the extent of lobbying of powerhouses like Disney in those treaties negociations and their requests and proposals there.

This Week in Mobile Development January First – 8th
It's bizarre that it's apparently less risky for PayPal to explicitly take on risk by providing a loan, than to let people have access to their own money that was never intended for PayPal in the first place.

I consider scenario 2 a case of PayPal stealing your money and loaning it back to you against interest. It should be illegal. The fact that this is legal is baffling to me.

But it seems like US law offers some perverse incentives for payment providers.
Or perhaps you shouldn't be so arrogant and dismiss everyone else's problems so readily. "I have suffered infinitely more than you could ever comprehend". Vanity is definitely Devil's favorite sin, and it lurks in the strangest of places.

Goodbye to you too.
I think you are missing my point. Essentially Disney will start buying your lifetime copyrights. Given that there are 300MM Americans, I'd imagine if every American got 2 lifetime copyrights, the market for transferring those copyrights wouldn't be terribly expensive. Disney could probably buy 100 lifetime copyrights for the cost of the legal work they do today.
Ideally all of the extensions would be thrown out, if they were found to be ridiculous enough before the supreme court.

Fat chance of that, though.

Feds raid widow's apartment → obviously bad

Feds raid Exxon offices → obviously good

...which is kind of fascinating for what it implies. It seems to me, personally, that raids against companies are almost always well-researched before being executed, to the point of basically never being even slightly ethically ambiguous. Whereas raids against individuals seem to be almost always ethically ambiguous, and often entirely inexplicable.

Then again, the "Feds" in those two cases are two different groups: it's mostly the SEC that raids companies, while it's mostly the DEA that raids individuals. This might explain a lot of the difference in attitude.

Not really. From a carreer perspective you are 100% certain that there will be a lot of demand for C++ in 5 years (since the whole IT infrastructure is written either in C or in C++), whereas for Rust you are taking a huge bet.
In another story a while ago, somebody ran a fake child porn site to see who would sign up. I think they found that some of their applicants were law enforcement and researchers. So no, signing up isn't already committing a crime.
It's important to be careful that such mechanisms don't become a thought-terminating cliche, however.
Remember, this was all written before computer networking, let alone internetworking. The level of defensiveness required to write network-facing code wasn't realised at the time.

The prevailing view of how to do things was based on tape (magnetic or paper). In that context, it's really inconvenient to know how long your tape is before you write it and really convenient to just keep reading it until you hit a marker or the hardware says "sorry, end of tape". See also the "end of file" character, ctrl-D.

Judging history in hindsight is uncharitable.
Yes and no. The problem is that the magic word "container" obscured what is actually being done (cgroups, namespaces, iptables, etc etc etc).

Its one more thing that result in confusion between user and computer about the state of the machine.
If you're happy with and able to have children after the 10 years of aggressive saving and investment, this strategy will also give you an extra financial buffer for raising kids. The basic strategy is not incompatible.

But obviously, your total spending will increase, so you either have to earn more after having kids or save up more before having kids. If you want to raise your children in a high cost-of-living area, this will of course be even more pronounced.
I think you are correct in your interpretation of what the US judges and founding fathers had in mind for warrants over the course of the past 200 years. However computer networks haven't been around for 200 years, and they do change the circumstances somewhat.
