This makes no sense.

When people say something is "near" something else they mean its geographically close. You were replying specifically to "Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border," in the comments of an article specifically about geography, which makes your "near" definition make even less sense. You might as well say "New York City is like in Chicago's back yard since you can get there by boat." or "Bergen is near Miami because they are both on the Atlantic Ocean."

> Give me any ethereum use-case & I'll tell you how to do it with bitcoin

That's like saying give me any HTTP use-case, and I'll tell you how to do it with Gopher. To me Rootstock is like putting the WWW on top of Gopher. You can do it, but why?

"We don't need GUIs, command lines can do everything!"

"We don't need Java/Python/Ruby, you can do it all in C!"

"We don't need C, you can do it all Assembly!"

Ease of development and implementation really matter. If I can accomplish creating my block chain app on Ethereum in a fraction of the time and complexity of the same thing on Bitcoin, I'd have to have an extremely compelling reason to choose Bitcoin instead.
I wonder why the PyPy setup always uses Gunicorn/Tornado while the CPython setup always uses Gunicorn/Meinheld.

I'm in favor of braces around everything, but to be honest even I will occasionally use the indent if I only expect one action. e.g.

if (true)
foo();
else
bar();

This looks prettier to my eyes than

if(true){
foo();
} else {
bar();
}

However, I might not be the last person to touch the code. My coworker might come later and add:

if (true)
foo();
else
bar();
baz();

And hence the indent problem.
I am not really up to date on this case. Why is Christian sueing for just the copyright infringement of his contributions? It sounds like this 'fading' concept might really put a stop to this whole trial. Wouldn't it be possible for Christian to represent more Linux developers so their collective work sits comfortably above 1% of Linux?
Wouldn't it make sense to update that as you change the code? If you edit an if statement, you should add the braces in.

It would make sure that no new errors are introduced due to this.

As far as I can tell, it comes down to two things:

a) Authors need to be published in certain journals to have their work read by their peers, and gain credibility.

b) Academic journals (Elsevier, etc.) require you to hand over the rights to the paper to them.
I've dabbled with the dev tools ethereum provided for a while and I can't imagine that the computations ethereum does will ever be fast enough for a general purpose, distributed computation platform. If I had to wager on yet another cryptocurrency™ I'd bet on Zcash (https://github.com/zcash/zcash). They promise a real differentiator for cryptocurrencies with their zero-knowledge proofs.
Well, you should edit your post so it is accurate.
I always opt out of the "no braces needed thing," it is my feeling that you should stick to the more "all around" method of writing something so you never need to switch back and forth..

How do you implement a trustless SatoshiDice with bitcoin?
> Aren't they separate particles?

They are. Subatomic decay doesn't happen with particles "contained within" other particles; a neutron does not contain a proton but can decay into a proton, electron, and electron antineutrino via the W boson.
You'd be better off trying to to use Jython (which compiles Python to JVM bytecode) because that would give you interop with Android's Java libraries.
We also have water vapor, about 0.25% by mass. Significantly easier to get: a chemical reaction not inherently necessary, just filtering (you're not combining various elements of the air mixture, just taking one that's already there). Thus, no revolutionary breakthrough needed: just iterative optimization of water vapor collection.

Of course, the efficiency of this bottle depends on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity - in a desert, with 0% humidity, there is very little to extract.
At that point you're essentially advocating treating libclang as the standard. All the usual problems of "the implementation is the spec" apply.

How could this protect anyone from anything worse than the occasional verbal abuse? Real bad people with real bad intentions will most certainly not be frustrated by some automatic word filter or a ban on dick pics. They will probably be the /last/ ones to do anything obviously fishy. You just can't be a sneaky bastard luring in innocent victims and an obvious prick at the same time. Unless you are doing some amazingly charismatic virtuoso double bluffing, I suppose. Or you're just looking for a willing victim looking for a perp. I think the whole idea is beyond stupid.
I'm not sure it's exactly missing so much as not explicitly stated in that way. The author does partially attribute the misunderstanding to the mostly uninhabited northern territory of Canada. The author also says that Canada populates it's northern regions less than Russia does. So, the focus is more on people not being in the north than the fact that they are mostly in the south, but one conclusion casually follows from the other.

As I was reading it, I looked at the map, and concluded that a bunch of the population was likely in the Toronto area which juts well below the mean longitude of Canada's southern border.
The general idea is that since humans are self-conscious and born with innate natural rights, that these are the rights that can never be taken away unless proven guilty of a crime in a court of law (ideally if there's an actual victim but this could be argued against).

There are some 18th century philosophers who talked about two types of rights but I can't remember the analogy.

But essentially, you were born with human freedom, even your ancestors and all of our ancestors in Africa. And these are the rights that existed prior to civilization, government, the Bill of Rights, the UN and the EU.

This is why some say they come from God, to distinguish them from the government. But you might as well say they came from the Higgs Boson because Jefferson et al were Deists.

The reason this is important is because why would you want to diminish your own personal sovereignty knowing what we all know about human nature and power?

This is why the Bill of Rights says Congress shall make no law restricting Freedom of Speech. It does not grant or create a right or privilege. It acknowledges it.

The organic law (Dec. of Indepedence) declares this in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Deny this to an Enlightenment-thinker, and prepare for silent revolution.

We should resist the utopian temptation to accept the falsehood that rights are privileges. In the 20th century in the United States, wealthy idealists who often doubled as Marxists created the American Historical Association (historians.org), and promoted the idea that the centralization of power was always a good thing, i.e. collectivism. And to do that, they taught that truth was relative and that natural rights and classical liberalism was irrelevant in the face of supranational political utopias.

This is covered in Professor Allen Bloom's book, "The Closing of the American Mind."

We are all from Africa and we all have natural rights. So since the US was the first nation to acknowledge this, and since the EU does not acknowledge natural rights and in fact is a bureaucratic nightmare, then it is fair to suggest that we all are in fact "African Americans", free and individually powerful since our ancestors lived in Ethiopia and Somalia.

Even if you ignore safety, braces are still better because if need to edit the code later, you won't need to change as many lines, so the source control history will be cleaner. (Similar to adding a trailing "," to lists that don't strictly need it.)
New Northrop bomber to be designated B-21, U.S. Air Force says
Hmm, you bring up some good points. But there's a spectrum of legal disputes, and a range of outcomes that actors are expecting from adjudication.

Obviously an acquisition is an incredibly complicated transaction, requiring an enormous amount of effort. The stakes are incredibly high.

There's plenty of low-stakes commercial endeavors that aren't so complicated, but could still use computerized dispute resolution.

Take a ride share. The people involved are looking to mitigate various kinds of risk. The driver wants to make sure you won't puke in his car, that he'll get paid, etc. etc. The rider wants to make sure that the driver has insurance, that he'll show up on time, and other kinds of guarantees.

So you can set a flexible system whereby should either party break the terms of the contract, the software provides a path to redress. Each of these guarantees can be modeled in the software, with systems for, say, uploading photos with timestamps if the customer actually does puke in the car.

The record, plus the collected history of adjudication results, provides a way for both parties to come to a conclusion about this particular dispute. Then both parties can decide whether to accept it and move on, or escalate.

If one chooses to escalate, then the record of the transaction can be pulled by an appointed arbitrator and then he can add the needed human touch to create a resolution. Again, if one party is not satisfied, then he can escalate to an actual lawsuit.

Over years of refinement, escalation, arbitration, the system can be tuned to such a degree that lawsuits in that arena become practically non-existent. Profits generated by the system can be re-allocated towards new market-making activities.

Can you uninstall Qihoo360's software easily nowadays? Four years ago I helped a friend to clean up his PC and it took me more than _two hours_ to remove numerous little pieces Qihoo had put in every corners of his system. I had to search the whole hard drive and the whole Windows registry, and delete them one by one manually. The feeling was like battling against something really evil.
I'm trying to figure out your angle here. Are you saying that ethereum isn't ambitious enough because it doesn't incorporate these fun crypto techs you mention? I would say that it's already an extremely ambitious project so it's good that they didn't bite off more than they can chew.

Or maybe you are trying to say that this could have been done on Bitcoin? Maybe, but whatever you try to shoehorn into Bitcoin's crippled contract pseudolang is going to be an order of magnitude simpler in a language that is Turing complete.
Vitalik became famous cause of his journalism. Then the sale gave ether founders loads of money. Now it is being used to market cleverly. One example around me here in India is BlockchainU. Blockchain university has taught in almost all prime Indian IT companies pumping ethereum & thus atleast most, if not all, corporate devs are working on ethereum here, whereas there is no central advertising foundation for bitcoin.
I appreciate that it may feel like everything is fine, but generally the problematic decay is something that takes time to trickle up to the point that you will experience it.

When you see the telephone wires on the polls, those are big bundles of pairs that terminate in your neighborhood and your CO. Generally, there are more pairs delivered to your neighborhood than are needed. This is because a short can be difficult to access, so it is helpful to have excess capacity to simply switch the connection for a home to a different pair.

But the years of declining land line use and revenues have resulted in cutbacks of folks who do cable repair.

When the phone was the only network we had and when long distance calls had electrons flowing directly over thousands of miles of a dedicated circuit, you could justify the cost of repair. But without that, all you have is "switch to a new pair. Hopefully one exists. Move on as quickly as possible to the next customer."

It isn't a line of bs. Keep in mind that those phone wires you are looking at are not one super long run of pairs from C.O. to the neighborhood. It's many, many splaced together segments, with varying cable swaps between the c.o. and the destination that can be hard to undo. The historical availability of the network leads people to take its existence for granted.

The last time I made the kind of long distance calls that funded these network was over 15 years ago.

Does this impact latency and/or bandwidth, since packets can only be generated when environmental conditions allow it?

If it's relatively low-latency, I could imagine very low-power e-ink wearables that delegate processing to phones and simply translate between WiFi packets, screen updates, and button interactions. Very exciting stuff.
> So, in your rot13 example compiler would rat all the new identifiers with their origins to the tools.

How can the compiler know which identifier connects to which origin, unless because the macro complied with some standard/restriction/protocol? From a certain perspective all I'm suggesting is making these protocols part of the language standard - that is, define the DSL that's used to define DSLs, rather than allowing macros to consist of arbitrary code.

It's human nature to trust people, until proven otherwise.

Your CEO might even have magnetic charm on par with Richard Branson or Steve Jobs. Their gift for words hit the right buttons. Who wouldn't want to go into partnership with those guys? Time reveals if they actually make good and deliver.

We should all think in terms of highest & best use of our time. Relative to proving your worth-- imagine what this position might have yielded had you been paid at contractor rates. You've invested your time in the CEO. Has he proven his worth back to you?
I know, I went to London at New Year's and was gob-smacked at the realization I was NORTH of Moosonee.
That's a good policy for code reviews, but again it's hard to do it correctly in a tool.

The compiler would need to require braces in new code, but allow brace-free style in old code; you'd need to integrate it with the source control system so it knows what code is new. Doable, but tricky.
Hopefully, in the final version, they will limit the max FPS if it increases battery life (because I can't tell the difference between 60 FPS and 300 FPS). But I did notice some jerking in his last demo so I do wonder if some garbage collection or something else limits FPS once in a while...
> the whole collection is held together by the strong nuclear force

to be pedantic, the "lots of gluons and q-antiq pairs" is the strong nuclear force in action

Also, you're talking about virtual particles here, it's acceptable to (and usually this is done) ignore them when describing the "contents" of a particle since they're everywhere (in less concentration perhaps) anyway.

But yeah, those particles are there.
Making braces optional in single-statement if/else/while/for clauses is one of the biggest anti-features in C. It's frustrating that it was ported forward to more modern languages like Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.

I'm glad Python (with semantic whitespace) and Go (with gofmt) solve this problem.

I'm not aware of anyone having succeeded with Jython - I think there are technical issues but I'm not sure what's the nature of the problem.

One option for interacting with java from python is to use tools like pyjnius (http://pyjnius.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) - this is what e.g. Kivy does to get system information like screen metrics.

The IDE can autocomplete the rot13ed identifiers from outside, perhaps. But it can't possibly suggest rot13ed identifiers inside the macro block for autocomplete, because it can't possibly know that that's what the macro does.
It's actually faster. My company was able to cut a lot of servers just by upgrading. And you can find a lot of testimonials around reddit and twitter. Best thing to do is not to trust me, or this horrendous benchmark suite, and test it yourself.

That's why I loathe TechEmpower's benchmark, or any similar service trying to benchmark the world. It's very misleading and error prone by nature. It's not like you're comparing two GPU cards doing the same thing.

Take PHP for example, one of the most popular frameworks is using version 4.2 (latest is 5.2, and there's also a LTS release). It was released in June, 2014 and it's before several major architecture changes and refactoring. And they'll probably say it's my fault for not contributing.
Of course, that's the (silent) assumption. But humans sometimes fail to do this, which is why the warning is helpful. Very nice to see this in GCC.

I regularly open and close Wifi, send a 'spurt' of data, and shut down the Wifi. This is on a system with a 400mAH battery, it stays on for days and days without much fuss .. certainly BLTE and co. (where is ANT+ these days?) are lower-energy, but even if its only 'just close' in terms of energy efficiency, all the advantages of using Wifi instead of Bluetooth are huge.

In all honesty, I'm looking at distributed applications as well, which from what I read Ethereum says it does and doesn't do. It's a bit fast and loose from what I read about, about Ethereum's capabilities.

I'll go back to my experimenting with TOR and how it might be possible to make your own distributed applications within the Hidden Services. That's free to use, and as low bar as I can think of. (Add machine, shows up as HS.)
