> Buying copywritten works usually buys license yo use, not distribute (share)

Under this definition loaning a book or movie to a friend is sketchy.

The sharing model is rampant as individuals, it only became a problem when the internet made it so strangers could share without much of a thought that they were even doing so.

But I seriously have to ask myself how borrowing a DVD from my friend differs from torrenting it instead. Perhaps the only difference is that only 1 copy can be watched at a time? Do we need a file loaning service?
Just some quick numbers:

$585,000 comes out to 0.1778116% (almost two tenths of one percent) of Mozilla's 2015 revenue of $329,000,000.

As an avid Firefox user since 2007, upon learning a few years ago how much revenue Mozilla takes in, I've always wondered where the hundreds of millions of dollars are spent... I was talking with a colleague about Servo, and was saying, "If they spent allocated 5% of that revenue on Servo, they could hire 70 developers year round at $235,000 each to work on Servo full time, year-round."
> I agree with you, but it'd be nicer if it were easier to figure this out from the standard --- either I'm missing something or else you have to infer it from reading between the lines:

> So, on a platform with strict alignment, in order to achieve contiguous packing of structures (required by the last) and to achieve each structure member having a valid pointer (required by the first) the implementation must add enough optional padding (allowed by the middle) to make the size of the structure aligned.

It's not in the standard per se. It's a requirement for machine code to function on certain platforms. The standard basically just says that in all cases compilers have to generate machine code that works properly. It is imposed by the designers of the processor, not the C standard.

This is indeed what I was talking about.
I believe you are correct. Conditions weren't great in Europe, and the states gave away land in some areas. Some meaning started to change during the 50's, I believe.

Oddly enough, the American Dream and land of opportunity sort of thing still lives in the mind of some folks that have never visited, and it would seem so in comparison to their home country.

Thanks for this. Whenever I see a research that seems intuitive and also politically correct I like to see what the critics have to say.
I think your discussion plays exactly into what the thread author was thinking. That the bible is a collection of books bound to their time, but whatever the thread author expected, whether the bible was a collection guided by divine power, or directly authored by divine power, it reeks of severely bounded humanity, it reeks of minds locked in their time.

I think people wanted timelessness. Transcendence. Even something that is not perfectly transcendent and timeless, like an artifact of space travel technology would strike the world into awe, the kind of awe that technologically primitive cultures must feel when they bump by the edge of an severely alien human flying on a helicopter -- a suggestion of an ocean beyond your faculties. A feeling of a turtle in a well.
I think what the RoHS people really wanted to do was shut down lead smelters, which are nasty enough in themselves. They just used a nuclear weapon where a BB gun would have sufficed, and were indiscriminate about their choice of targets.

As far as disposal goes, there is some concern about lead in CRTs and solder leaching its way down into the water table and back up to our taps, but no one has ever demonstrated exactly how that happens to my satisfaction. I'll concede the point that it's best not to throw it away.
1. Is there any RISC-V silicon available?

> My phone's battery would last 2 seconds if it used the processor my laptop would use. And my laptop would be slow as shit if it used a processor compatible with a mobile phone.

A powerful ARM CPU, down-clocked and/or in a big.little configuration would cover those cases, somewhat. Low clock during mobile operation, higher clock+power usage when docked in a non-battery situation. The concept seems to work fine with phones + ARM Chromebooks that are out there now.

> Aside from hobbyists, I'm not sure anyone actually wants this product. Open to some feedback here!

Still true. Most people probably don't want to upgrade that often, deal with their phone not working when the CPU is stuck into a dock, etc. I still like the idea of this kind of upgradeable hardware. Maybe it would make more sense to have different form factors for cards, with adapters to connect smaller cards into larger enclosures. It seems like that kind of schema would provide the greatest coverage of different use-cases (although, it'd require either standard buses/data connections through the entire line of hardware, or conversion hardware included in the card adapters).
It took me 9 years to finish my C.S. degree. I dropped out a few times and took time off. I was 27 when I finally finished. My GPA was horrible, so I don't list it.

All I list on my resume is my graduation date. I've never had anyone ask how long it took, why I didn't list the start date (probably because I looked older), or my age. My GPA has never been asked for either. Just don't talk about anything related to the time it took, GPA, age, anything.

When I graduated I had multiple job offers within the first month. No issues at all. The main thing they care about once you make it to the interview is that you know your shit and can talk to people.

Good luck.

If you read through the linked bug inside the bug, I think they had to do that as part of the review process. They had to wait 90 days after the initial cert was issued to have it reviewed. Since LE only issues 90 day certs this means they'd have to review an expired one.

Google tried this with Dart and ended up backing out. That was the only real chance at having a commercial browser include a language runtime other than JS. WebAssembly is where it's at.
I almost never bookmark on my phone. And I very rarely bookmark on my pc(except for minimal hot toolbar on 'new page'). Either it's good enough I can type in 1-3 letters and it appears via recent appear or I forget about it because it didn't provide enough value. E. G. Whenever I visit this site I just type n then enter because I frequent it enough and browser maintains this. But other sites fall off my radar. I deem them not worthy. Also when I do ok occasion bookmark(I never look at my bookmarks,excdpt when doing a transfer to new machine or phone and I wonder what all these bookmarks are for and I click a few. Then realizing if site is alive that it holds little to no value or interest for me anymore)

In addition I minimize apps downloads(loss of info, clutter, etc..)

Well, this is true in Capitalism as we know it. But, truthfully there is a deeper relationship to the things we create and the people we share them with. What is the end goal of creating art or new scientific discoveries? If it's money alone, well, that's a problem. Ideas need to be shared whether art or science. Just think how we use Arabic numerals.. Every day. Should we be paying someone for that privilege?

What if there were no copyrights. Would people still create things? Damn right they will. At least the skilled and the curious people will.
It's a failing strategy to build your social services around some kind of condescending shit around "maybe homeless people should be better and mentally stronger and then they would see the cornucopia of opportunity that is available to them". And not to get too abstract - nobody has even solved homelessness in Bendigo for the locals, let alone for people shipped out from Melbourne! This entire topic is a stupid hypothetical that is not a realistic solution in any way except that it really easily ends up as a justification to dismiss homeless people as causing their own problems.
If it's a sworn statement and you lie, that's perjury. Plain and simple.

Hey, first author here. Good questions.

The simulation runs in realtime, and is interactive. Generating the simulation can take a while though.

The 5 second video took about a minute to process on my laptop. But longer videos, and higher-resolution videos, can take much longer. For instance, we've used the technique on high speed video to recover audible vibration modes, and this can take hours to process because the video itself is so big.

I wrote the processing code in Matlab, and the simulation in c++ and GLSL. The simulation is pretty well engineered because I wanted it to run in realtime. I didn't put a lot of time or effort into optimizing the video analysis part though, so it probably could be made faster.
Wow we were literally on the same wavelength there :)

Perhaps you could get an ordering based only on the upvotes from your friends, and maybe friends of friends with a lesser weight. Maybe also include upvotes from strangers whose past voting pattern is similar to yours.

>even if you only just break even as a rent-seeker, you're still creating wealth for yourself

That sounds utterly contradictory.

Landlords provide a service by maintaining and managing properties. They assume most of the risks including damage to the property due to fire and natural disasters. They provide a means for people with little to no credit to afford a roof over their head when they can't get a loan. You are not just paying to live somewhere when you pay rent. You are paying for all of these services and more. If landlords were purely parasites they wouldn't be able to make any money. People would just go around them. Just because you don't like the need for the service they provide doesn't mean they don't provide a service.

C11 §6.7.2.1:
"The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (high-order to low-order or low-order to high-order) is implementation-defined. The alignment of the addressable storage unit is unspecified."

This makes bitfields quite difficult to use correctly when portability is of interest. It's often easier to write a couple inline get/set functions and use bit indices. If portability isn't a concern, then sure, have at it.
Real TL;DR: This is a big load of BS from people who know nothing about children OR life.

There's nothing wrong with having a good job and a life, man. You got a good gig. Enjoy that shit.

If you want more, more will be asked of you.

Don't call people stupid or arrogant because they were willing to sacrifice to do something big they wanted to do. Don't kid yourself by saying you're so much smarter than them, you could have what they have without paying what they paid.

Maybe they can sell this to F-16 squadrons. The F-16 loads its targeting information from a PCMCIA memory card. They're having trouble getting machines that can still talk to PCMCIA cards.
No.

A huge and important use of structs is to communicate with other things, like hardware, libraries, and other languages, and in in those cases it's very important that the struct matches what the other side expects. You don't want the compiler to rearrange your TCP packet, for example.

It might make sense to have a compiler extension to optimize packing for internal-only data structures, but I doubt any compilers bother. It's just another entry on the long list of things that C assumes the programmer will do themselves if it's important to them.
Taxation at gunpoint is thievery, no amount of rhetoric can change that.

And don't get me wrong. I have no problems with participating in a community. I have a problem with government setting up barriers and maintaining a monopoly on community.

I have no apriori issue with government offering services, I have an issue with being forced to pay and consume those services, regardless of how (in)efficient they may be.

I am also very much aware that I am only at the end of a long line of people striving for a better future. And nearly all my personal efforts are directed towards fulfilling my obligation towards my forefathers as towards my descendants.

And resisting crazy talk about totalitarian governments as a savior for all our problems is a part of that.

Don't get me wrong - the manifesto above has hardly anything to do with your position, I am merely explaining my own position.

Are you talking about married couples taking different bedrooms in one apartment? Or single individuals (not living as couples) taking different bedrooms in one apartment?

Yes, we do a lot of roommate shares here in the US; I lived in about 7 of them through my 20's. But I didn't live with my wife in a room share. I'm now married and I live with my wife, and we are effectively rent-sharers now.

It's still not enough to have a 20% cash savings rate, much of what would be saved as cash instead pays debt (mostly college debt + debt originating from emergencies/unemployment). But we almost certainly couldn't afford a local property of any type, save a studio apartment on the outskirts of the city, with a 20% savings rate over the next 5 years. And part of this has to do with down-payment financing arrangements nearly always losing out to deals paid in cash on-the-spot. (Indeed, there are people roaming the streets with certified checks from $800,000 - $2,000,000 who are viewing new-to-market properties daily)

Having raised three kids I have learned that 99% of all parenting advice does not apply to any specific child and any specific parent. That said, parenting goals are consistent; Helping kids to understand the world around them, understand their effect on the world, and recognizing what it will take to achieve a particular goal.

Telling kids they are "smart" is part of the "understanding the world around them" goal. The reality is that everyone has different gifts in different combinations, and as a parent you want to help your child to both discover their own gifts and to appreciate the gifts of others. And you want to do that without imparting a judgment on the relative value of different gifts. Since "smart" is not well defined (does it mean good at math? or clever in solutions? or quickness of retort? depth of vocabulary? Etc.) I have sought to try to tie a gift to the context where it helps have an impact on the world (second concept above) which helps the child understand how they can contribute to an overall project or how others can contribute with their overall project.

The generic advice for parents is to 'praise the accomplishment not the child.' which seeks to turn the child's vision of their place in the world outward. However I have seen that be interpreted as "my accomplishments define me" which can be a problem as well. So I gave up with advice, and stick to goals.
I tell my child she is smart AND that that isn't enough for us. We know she is smart, but so are we and we can tell when she is slacking and lying.

It's actually working very well, but it took quite a while for her to believe us. In the long run she is showing a deep appreciation for how honest we are with her.

This would likely work with most smarter children. If you don't play mind games with them they will stop trying to play mind games on you.

-- Edit on my side note here --
She still plays games with most other adults but I would be a hypocrite to try to eliminate it completely. Mostly I just caution her on how it erodes trust and trust is very valuable. Besides, most adults are not completely honest with her so it's only fair.
