Not at all; the point is that a Dane isn't actually taken out of their flow to type ø in Danish, because they're using a suitable keyboard layout. Likewise a programmer need not be taken out of their flow to type (a→t ≠ 0) or a ← b ∧ ¬c or (2=0+.=T∅.|T)/T←ιN.

"Just like above example the regular expression ar[.] means: an lowercase character a, followed by letter r, followed by any character."

A period inside a character class is just a period. So that's only going to match "ar."
I agree on the ACM/IEEE part! A lot of the bigger conferences do quite a bit to appeal to practitioners (as opposed to just academics).

For example, ACM CHI has a huge expo for demos and tech companies. IEEE/ACM ICSE has an industry track (now known as Software Engineering in Practice).

Neither performance nor backtracking appear in the text anywhere, nor do possessive or atomic.

To your first problem point - the quick thought I have is to allow people to appoint a person they trust specifically for that. I don't know how it would unfold, however hopefully you'd be able to do research on someone - to see what their character is, how they behave, etc.

How would an employer learn how an employee votes? And fuck that shit - with UBI hopefully people early on in life will learn to not tolerate force/pressure and control like that.

It's interesting watching the cyberpunk fiction I read in high school in the 1980s slowly coming true.
Newer versions of OllyDbg never caught on and a stable working x64 version has never hit. The main community for Olly sort of died with XP 32-bit unfortunately. x64dbg has largely replaced it for 64-bit code and many of its common features and plugins for 32-bit code on 64-bit OSes too. Unlike Olly, x64dbg is also open source, which has lent to some interesting features, though it's still largely the work of Mr.Exodia as far as I know.

Of course, debuggers like x64dbg fit a niche for when you need to do a lot of dynamic work, like dumping data or unpacking an executable, they're not static analysis tools like IDA or Binja, which you'll probably want if you're analyzing algorithms and trying to understand the inner workings of something.

EDIT: I have a [dead] reply saying everyone moved to Immunity that I'd like to respond to. There's some truth to that in some communities, but the catch there is that Immunity never got good x64 support either. To my knowledge, it's basically just an Olly fork with some additional scripting features and stuff, doesn't solve the 64-bit problem or the 32-bit on 64-bit OSes problem.

The whole world can laugh at the US, but that's not going to solve any of their own problems.
That guess is not just wrong but somewhat startling.

Why would everyone living in what is now China have spoken the same language 2000 years ago? The people living in what is now the US didn't. Neither did the people living in what's now the EU. Even small territories, such as just the islands of Okinawa had multiple language communities 2000 years ago.

National borders and the language communities within and across them fluctuate wildly over the course of a thousand years.

>" I note Cantonese and Mandarin "dialects" have a common (formal) written form."

They don't even have the same grammar. Cantonese includes characters that don't exist in Mandarin.

You might find this piece on Language Log interesting: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=548

"Just as Europeans who spoke various languages could communicate in Latin, so until recently all literate Chinese people could communicate in the somewhat artificial written standard. With the shift over the last century to a written language that is closer to the colloquial, the differences among dialects have increased."

Do you have proof of this?

Just like frameworks in any other languages.

Have you seen the amount of JavaScript modern JS frameworks generate? We are now in the megabytes.

PHP powers the worlds biggest social network, what's your point?

There was also a decade of inactivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript#Versions

You have to use transpilers if you are planning on running it in the popular browsers even for ES6.

Even the latest versions of JS retain the brain damage from older versions(for backwards compatibility).

> In another 5 years JavaScript will hit another milestone, Java will evolve, and PHP will still be PHP.

It took JS more than a decade for it to get support for classes, I wouldn't hold my breath.

The airbnb dispute process allows you to request money from the host, but doesn't let you get a full refund - only ~80%. In my view, the house not existing warrants at a minimum a full refund.

I have found Paint.NET to be my go-to middle-ground image editor. I think it is more than simple enough for your 4-year-old son.
So I somewhat follow r/Ethereum and I remember seeing a good number of posts about Veritaseum... the general consensus is that it is a scam and has been the target of pump and dump schemes, like many other tokens.

This sure does look like an inside job...surely they reported to whatever Government crime bureau in their jurisdiction? But given the terms of many of these sales, there are literally no repercussions if the "company" decides to just take the money and run. Buyer Beware.

I think if anything, this whole ICO thing, as I've observed, just enlighten me about what we have consumer protection. It's not so the big corps and such won't scam people...they don't need to even try, people will time and time again, fuck themselves over. It's a sad reality. There was even a "Useless Ethereum Token" that did an ICO and raised something like $50k in a matter of days. Maybe the internet likes paying for jokes... regardless, I know countless people are dumping their next months rent on whatever ICO is happening that day with little regard to anything behind it.

Disclaimer: I do believe in the Ethereum platform and am long in it. I also hold FunFair tokens, which I believe to be one of the first platforms that really takes off.

I'd point you to that and say I'd only support your statement in so far as saying part of the American right is not as pro-liberty as it ought to be - this is in reference to neoconservatism and similar ideologies.

> They've lost meaning, and serve only to avoid talking details

They're shorthand and I think they're useful when you're genuine about discussion but want a quick way to understand where an argument is coming from. If you're disingenuous about conversation, it doesn't matter whether labels are used or not, you simply cannot self-regulate your bias to give room for discourse is all I'm saying.
Why would the answer be so absolute? Shouldn't this calculation just shift the break even point where it makes sense to do things yourself to somewhere where you do more things yourself?
From the article I posted in the GP:

>I miss teaching a lot. Every day, in fact. But the truth is I’m so much happier than I’ve ever been. Getting out of teaching and not being emotionally invested in my work has forced me to do things besides work more. I’ve learned how to cook, I’m making new friends, I’m reading more, I’m rediscovering my love of things I used to do before I was ever a teacher all over again. I do productive things on the side too, like study for my CPA license.

>And the thing is now that I’m thinking about other things, I’ve learned so much about saving, investing, and I’m doing much better with my salary and working toward eventually being independent of a salary if at all possible.

>Your career is just one part of your life. You might not become a much happier person just because you do the work that satisfies you the most. You have to consider the effects it could have on you as a person besides just having to do the work. You should do the work that gives you balance, and not the work you love the most.

There's something to be said for it. It's not for everyone,there's some people who do work they find truly meaningful and are happy about devoting themselves to it. However, most people probably shouldn't look for meaning in their work less it traps them from experiencing meaning and happiness elsewhere.

To be clear, I am not saying nobody should ever make a career out of doing what they enjoy during in their free time, I'm saying it doesn't guarantee career satisfaction and there are potential pitfalls of going down that route. It also definitely should not be generic advice to everyone.

"Do it for the money" is good advice. I feel like if I were trying to find satisfaction in paid work I'd be supremely unhappy and unfulfilled.

>> That's not really MS's fault then, is it?

Yes it is. Paint has been a bundled app for decades and they have decided not to include it any more. "Available for free" is different than "comes included". Also, this whole thing looks like a big advertisement for their new Paint3D or whatever it is. They promote it in the blog and point out that it has a lot of features Paint has, and oh by the way it's free in the store too just like Paint.
It is indeed insidious in that the general public has no way to know the place is private and not public space.
It is insidious, as the land is being sold off by public bodies (local councils etc) without any announcement, and then there is no signage to let people know that the land is no longer public. The first that most people know is when they've broken some rule (not law) and are kicked off the land by private security guards.
Word boundaries aren't mentioned either. I use \b quite a bit, was surprised to see it skipped.

As a right-of-center person I find NPR's news coverage to be really reasonable. Whenever I hear someone earnestly categorize it as the left wing version of Fox "News" I take it as a evidence that the person has never actually listened to NPR.
I didn't catch the angle in one of the parent posts that everything BUT windows store was allowed, but re-reading the chain I can see that now. Yes, blocking sandboxed and vetted apps but allowing anything else is indeed nonsense.

The biggest issue with the Windows Store is the forced installation of several apps that do not belong in an enterprise environment, unnecessarily increasing attack surface.
One reason for this is surely Microsoft trying to get people to use their store.
Well, it was an example, but I agree. For everything that I can I use keepass with better autogenerated random passwords, but for things like home WiFi and others that I may have to type in manually I'll use a phrase like this. A more random phrase is certainly more secure.
You already know the answer to all of these questions, stop posturing.
