You do realize that anyone who had more money than you could take away everything you have with no recourse? One simple strategy would be to force-buy from you your bed and all your food at a price a little above the market price. Now, you can either accept the offer and thus get paid only about 90% of the market price, or you can reject and pay 10% of the market price. In the former case, you buy a new bed and new food, and the cycle repeats. In the latter case, the cycle repeats directly. In any case, after a few cycles, you won't have anything left.

Also, anything that you own that is more valuable than you have money, will just be taken from you, as people will offer to pay a little more than you can pay, thus forcing you to sell, and then will resell at market value, thus earning money from the difference. So, people without money couldn't own anything anymore.
It really is the hard way. For the curious, read through the comment here describing the data layout and invariants:

Yep, I was a GameSpy beta tester. There was a partnership of sorts that ended up forming sometime in 1996. We ended up taking part in a couple of QuakeWorld beta tests later that year. I remember how the networking code was remarkably better, even on a dialup connection with 200-300ms pings.

History has shown that, when it comes to strings, developers have a hard time getting even something as simple as null-termination correct. If grapheme handling is complex, that's an argument for having it implemented by a small team of experts exactly once. The resulting abstraction might not be leak-proof, but then no abstraction is.

It sounds like OP has these kinds of photos so it will work well, but if you want to detect faces in any other kind of image/video, you'll need something more powerful. I still haven't found anything that works well.

The book you're looking for is The Little Schemer (just noticed another commenter suggested this as well). Even if you're not that interested in LISP, you'll come away from this book with a solid grasp of "programs as recursive functions." I found that the format of the book lends itself well to reading during a commute. It's easy to pick up and work through a few pages. If you get to a section that you don't understand right away, slow down and make sure you get it before moving forward.

To VB's credit they did a great job with debugging tools. The stepping debugger was great but to me the "immediate" (which is a repl of sorts) was magical.
Not surprising: According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_(process)#Assessment reading for comprehension normally falls in the 200-400wpm range. 10 seconds to read 49 words is 294wpm, which is smack in the middle of that range.

For comparison, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_per_minute#Speech_and_li... claims that 250wpm is the speed auctioneers speak at and that normal speech is 150-160wpm.

Getting words spoken at you is terribly inefficient compared to reading them.

Ideally for advertiser would be to pay per conversion, but then we need to defraud the other side.
You just moved the problem.

Suppose you have two "add" functions: one for fractions, one for points:

Fraction add(Fraction a, Fraction b)
{
Fraction result;
result.num = a.num * b.denom + b.num * a.denom;
result.denom = a.denom * b.denom;
return result;
}

Point add(Point a, Point b)
{
Point result;
result.x = a.x + b.x;
result.y = a.y + b.y;
return result;
}

How would you write this in C++?

Obviously the code below won't do:

union_t<int> add_fractions(union_t<int> a, union_t<int> b);
union_t<int> add_points(union_t<int> a, union_t<int> b);

Because you now just lost type safety (i.e you can add fractions with points).
To get back strong type safety, you could write:

struct Fraction : public union_t<int> {};
struct Point : public union_t<int> {};

At this point, you're mostly back to square one, except that Fraction users must use members named "x" and "y" ...
(and I'm not even talking about operator overloading)

(By the way, "union" is an unfortunate choice of words, as the language already defines it to mean something completetly different. Maybe "pair" is more appropriate?).
Yep, but what does the average consumer do?
It's a matter of degrees. At least in most capitalist countries the press, no matter how emasculated, still functions as a check on corruption to some degree.

Communist/socialist countries tend to control the press, and hush up exposés of corruption, which makes it much worse.

So he's clearly having flashbacks to the battlefield and doesn't trust himself with a gun that he's all too familiar with. I get that. But there was really no argument made here.

He's a college English professor who openly calls the Middle eastern conflicts pointless wars of occupation. And he also tells people to suck it up and sign up if they want an assault weapon and discusses the shit he saw on the battlefield. So basically a demographic checklist for multiple in group tribal appeals. Doesn't mean he's wrong, but this shouldn't be front page stuff. It's a fluff piece.

> Plain text isn’t exactly a machine-friendly format.

Works fine for unix. :D

> Could you please name a Microsoft program that you think requires a BOM?

Visual C++ off the top of my head. It mangles UTF-8 string literals without the BOM in the source code.

> For me, Microsoft programs open text files just fine, with or without the BOM. But most *nix and osx programs show me garbage instead of BOM.

That's what I was trying to say about the BOM being prevalent on the Windows side of the fence. Some programs require it, some always generate it so most program now accept it.

On the unix/osx side everyone switched to UTF-8 so the BOM is redundant. Everything is UTF-8 so the silliness of this needs a BOM that doesn't need a BOM doesn't exist. Good example of what the "UTF-8 Everywhere" site is trying to promote.

Personally I really wish Microsoft would eventually fix their UTF-8 codepage. Would be so nice not having to convert to/from UTF-16 at the Win32 API boundary.

I am totally opposed to the propping up of Mark Zuckerburgs and Larry Pages. Who then get to decide who and how the worlds information shall be accessed. This should not be the point of the internet.

There are too many unintended consequences that a Page or Zuckerberg are struggling to handle by themselves.

We could have handled nuclear tech in the same way we handled the internet "to spur innovation" and propped up a Zuckerberg of nuclear tech. But we haven't. Why? Because we know there will be nonrecoverable unintended consequences.

It's time we handled the internet the same way.

I was shocked with the quality of discussion at Facebook about Trump. Its as if only because Trump appeared in the US the issue has come to the forefront. How many other Trumps and ISIS type orgs(that we haven't heard about) have been propped up around the world? Forget about the national consequences, there are local unintended consequences in every neighborhood and sphere of life when unchecked information is spread too fast.

If people take information out of the system, they have to make it available to everyone else (or some variation of it) has to be a guiding principle.

I was thinking the analog version may be someone breaking into your house and leaving a picture of Rick Astley on your kitchen bench. You come home, find out someone has been in your home, but not what they've done in there. You don't know that it was your neighbour playing a prank or if it was some criminal that's put up little IP cameras all around your house until you do some investigation. Until you come to some conclusion you could be very worried and/or paranoid. Granted, this is the extreme version of the analogy.

Jail would be an over reaction for your neighbour, but you'd want that as an option for some creep breaking in, right? It sounds like in the parent posts case everything worked out more or less OK.
The real purpose of this app isn't the rating system, that's just the hook to get people to run this app and point the camera out their dashboards. The real purpose is to crowdsource collecting data about the drivers on the road in order to sell that data to interested parties.
Yes, maybe in one focus they are outliers, but the assumptions and parameters of the statistic should be qualified before dismissing the true harm alcohol causes. It's like the 'how would you like to die' game, slow or fast.

A DUI can be fatal on your first drunk at any age. I know personally of a college roommates brother, who was a straight A student, and got drunk for the third time in his life, and wound up killing somebody with his car. He went away for manslaughter. I'd say the side-effect there was pretty 'oh boy' for him and the victim. Think of how many people you may have seen go into a car after a few drinks, and how many of them actually got pulled over or fined for DUI. A lot of people drive under the influence and fly below the radar of the statistics. I have acquaintances and business associates who have been doing it for years.

Heroin and meth are stigmatized, and not a industrially-produced, government-controlled product like alcohol. They are almost always impure with other deleterious ingredients. Pure heroin used to be released on purpose in my old neighborhood in the 70s and 80s under somebody's 'brand' to hype sales of their 'product' for a few weeks even at the expense of a few overdoses.

Alcohol is under government regulation per % of alcohol per type of beverage, health inspections, and additives. People have a casual drink at lunch, but you don't see somebody whip out a needle at a casual business lunch, so meth and heroin tend to be relegated to dark alleys, loners at home, parties, etc...

The typical photo of a toothless, emaciated person comes from the side-effects of societal stigmatization, remaining in the shadow of crime, and less acceptance for that type of substance. There are plenty accounts of functional heroin addicts, and I knew/know a few personally. Their colleagues would never know. They eat right, go to work, and just use weekly and sometimes daily.

There are 17 times as many alcoholics as meth addicts per a 2012 study [1]. And alcohol kills slowly. Even the healthiest person who has 3 or more drinks a day is putting mileage on their body, the liver in particular, not to mention the mental effects. Choose your poison - one's government and socially embraced, the other(s) are associated with criminals and 'addicts'.

For a quick, non-academic feel of what I am trying to convey, watch and compare 'Requiem for A Dream' with any of the 'Hangover' movies. Can you find a meth/heroin movie like the 'Hangover' movies? A comedy that a broad range of people view and laugh at. Why not? The movie has what, 2 sequels already?

That is true. I failed to adjust my perspective for the fact that not everyone has nearly thirty years of programming experience given I still consider myself an amateur.

Still we should recall the utility gained in using the right tool is finite and variable. In some cases can be like night and day while in other cases a moderate or negligble improvement might be all you see. Under some circumstances familiarity with a given tool may outweigh the advantages of using a better suited tool - especially if a team lacks well-rounded expertise.

Reinforcing the other side of the argument is the fact that programmers are often subject to constraints placed on them from on high that restrict the choices they might make in such.

Given the specific situation, the author seems to build a pretty good case for SQLite at least by my own limited understanding of the facts.

You're right, using twice in three days is enough, but it doesn't move you back to start.

The withdrawals are much lighter compared to what they will be in weeks, or months. Often the withdrawals can be over the next day! So if you have found yourself relapsing, and think that any control over your own actions has vanished overnight? You're wrong! But that's what many actually seem to believe.

Edit: I'd do almost anything to avoid going into full on withdrawal, so I guess I don't mean literal control, but feeling powerless. This reply does not consider benzo, I consider that en even much more dangerous drug for those seriously addicted to it.

Great points, and much more succinct than mine below.

I think your point is exactly what I mean about romanticizing alcohol. People practically brag about how hungover they are, or how much they drank. Shared misery.
For me, alcohol was harder physically and harder to stop.
