Proof-of-work is designed to be inefficient -- to consume exactly as much power as the bitcoins produced from it are worth. The more efficient PoW is, the less energy it requires to rewrite history, which is exactly what we're trying to avoid.

Actually compilers are much better at register allocation than humans and have been for many years; the fact that it is NP complete is irrelevant, because NP completeness is just as difficult for humans to deal with. Other than taking advantage of special instructions that are hard for compilers to use, there are few cases where the performance of hand-written assembly is better than compiler-generated code. Compilers cannot assume pre/post conditions, but they can analyze much larger amounts of code than humans and will often detect things that humans miss -- which constants that can be propagated, expressions that can be reduced, etc. Compilers are a lot better at deciding which of two equivalent instruction sequences will be faster on a given CPU architecture.

The company I currently work for is spearheading a program like this- you go through a six month bootcamp and get placed in a the 2 year long rotational program for out-of-college hires. The distinction here is that they're also trying to pipe in college hires for the bootcamp, just those who discovered they liked CS too late or majored in the wrong thing.

>Also, let me know if this ever comes to managed code.

For managed code, VS2010 (Ultimate) introduced Intellitrace for C# .NET code. It let you step "backwards" which is a form of "time travel".

Since 2010, people have wondered if Microsoft was going to introduce a similar debugging capability for C++. It looks like they did -- but instead of reusing the previous "Intellitrace" brand and calling it "Intellitrace for C++", they've labeled it "Time Travel Debugging".

I wrote a simple algebra system in C# [1] that uses term rewriting expressed as algebraic identities to simplify terms. You can then compile them to .NET functions for efficient execution.

It uses a recursion limit, but I sketched out a design that eliminates the need for it by use of a specific data structure as used in the Simplify theorem prover to ensure termination in the presence of rewriting. Haven't gotten around to it unfortunately.

> If adding exercise to that equation adds a 0.1% chance of you giving up

That's because you put on a (too) high standard, and if you don't make it, instead of lowering your goal you end up with a defeatist attitude and give up. If you do that in your professional life as well that's a recipe for a burnout.

Example: say you want to go to the gym but you can't make it this week. Is that a huge issue? Does that mean you shouldn't go anymore at all? That everything's lost? No! Just try next time again, and do your best. Say your training scheme tells you that you should run 5 km in 30 min, you're on 20 min and only at 2,5 km. Does that mean you should give up? No. It means you should follow your pace as far as you can push it. Overcoming such might even strengthen you if the adversary is burnout.

If you're under the guidance of a quality physician or training scheme (basically same, as physician makes that for/with you) that shouldn't happen.

I replied to a previous post of you where you were saying you were running for an hour (!) at the gym. An hour! That's not how you start with getting fit. That's way too hardcore already. For one, its too long. Second, its the same stuff all the time, while you clearly don't seem to enjoy running. If you enjoy running, sure, but you don't.

Why don't you try different exercises and accept that there's some you like and some you dislike? Example: if you're only rowling for 10 minutes while you enjoy planking more which is next, you got something to look forward to. Plus, perhaps you'll start to like rowling eventually. My (anecdotal) experience is that eventually, once I get good at it, I start enjoying it more.

When I do daily exercises as broadcasted on TV (using rebroadcasted IPTV) there's all kind of exercises I enjoy and some I dislike. Especially the stuff I'm relatively bad at (basically anything involving hamstring like multiple, deep squats) is rough. But after I did them I feel the difference. And if I can't do it exactly as the example shows, I can at least try to mimmic it as good as I can. Eventually, I'll get better.

Posted this yesterday in another thread about CLIQZ that did not get much attention:

I looked into the CLIQZ browser (standalone, not the Firefox feature/extension) about a half a year ago because someone at my company suggested to use it as our standard browser. CLIQZ is heavily marketed as privacy respecting browser. Just the quotes from their homepage[1]: "Cliqz gives you relevant search results and does not leak your private data.", "Does not save any private data, has all the privacy features."

Knowing the company behind CLIQZ is one of the largest German media groups (Hubert Burda Media) I was suspicious. A quick check with Wireshark revealed that every keystroke in the URL-bar is sent in realtime to some Amazon servers.

Given that CLIQZ does come with ad blocking and anti tracking features I assume that when they talk about privacy they really mean private between Hubert Burda Media and you, cutting out Google, Facebook, etc.

EDIT: Here is another quote from their website[2]:

> "Privacy by Design" means that no personal data is stored on our servers. We do not only promise that. Using the Cliqz transparency dashboard you are able to check that anytime."

The mentioned Transparency Cockpit explicitly says: "Telemetry data do not contain any information about queries, search results or visited URLs."

The most important thing to understand about NoSQL is when you should use it. For many circumstances, NoSQL isn't the right tool for the job. The key is being able to recognize when it is.

I'm still learning how to determine when I should use NoSQL instead of SQL. My best advice is to carefully consider how to plan on querying your data. If you plan on making complex queries that link multiple relationships, NoSQL is not for you.

> For example, picking and choosing windows updates is a much worse process in Windows 10.

That’s because this is a bad idea for almost all users: it increases the odds of updates not being installed or people having problems due to an untested combination of updates which wouldn’t have happened if they’d installed everything.

Similarly, if Windows Defender does have a notable performance issue beyond what’s typical for AV as a class, the right way to avoid it is to install a separate AV rather than running an Internet-connected system without it.

It's funny because I am pretty sure that these are also illegal in most western countries.

What bravery did they commit? What heroic act did they commit? I fail to see how arresting people for a thoughtcrime is heroic. It is disgusting and slimy at best, especically if done in the shady - sting-operation way that this one was done.

> motherfucking-sickshitbag-fuckers

How can someone who has never raped a child but just views CP on an online forum be a "motherfucking-sickshitbag-fucker"? Who was the victim of this person?

Why do you feel the need to insult people who haven't done anything wrong?

>(although the police stated the pictures they used already exist else where).

I bet that this was probably also the case with most of the images in that forum.

> and protecting children from harms

How do you exactly "protect children from harms" by catching people that simply view CP?
Out of interest, in what way is harm increased? Does the same harm occur in cases in which the image is only being viewed?

The common misconception you seem to be displaying is that the advantage of "open source" software is that it comes with the source code.

This is exactly why Richard Stallman objects to the term "open source" and prefers "free software": because the point of the thing is that you are legally free to modify and distribute it. Access to source code is just a prerequisite to be able to practically exercise those freedoms. (I'm making no commentary on whether he's right about this. Personally I tend to say "open source" more often, because that term has basically won out and I'm more likely to be understood.)

By the way, years ago when Microsoft was apparently going to war against open source/free software, there was a bit from some Microsoft executive who said something like, "Open source is pointless. If our customers want to see our source code, they can just ask. But nobody does. Nobody cares about source code." He was exploiting people's misconceptions about what "open source" means. Indeed, nobody cares much about source code if they're not allowed to do anything with it.

The whole point of electronic computers being able to perform algorithms was to replace the work of computers (the human kind) in huts filling out sheets according to strict rules.

They're literally an attempt to replace humans as the mechanism by which rote paperwork can be done -- that they're used this way by business isn't terribly surprising.

So algorithms aren't the "new bureaucracy", they're the new way of doing the old bureaucracy -- as they were since inception. This is a feature, not a bug.

Australian Constitution, Section 68:

"The command in chief of the naval and military forces of the Commonwealth is vested in the Governor‑General as the Queen’s representative."

(NB; the Australian Constitution is an embarrassment to the Australian people - it is categorically the worst constitution of all modern western democracies...)

".. Australia has remained anchored to a pre-democratic tradition founded in hereditary monarchies and feudal states."

https://independentaustralia.net/article-display/australias-...

Australia committed war crimes in Mosul, and in Raqqa - this is known by anyone who cares to investigate the matter. It is not reporting these crimes, because its forces are not required to by the Australian people, and its politicians are cowardly hiding the truth, because they know that the Australian people will be held liable for these crimes...

Legalization doesn't just enable people to "do the drugs". It also lowers the barrier the government has in obtaining data about the phenomenon.

With additional data, government can be more proactive in preventing addiction in the first place.
I agree with you but consider what capital industry has done to food: the very safest thing people get addicted to.

It has been transmuted into hyper addictive nutritionless junk and it’s marketed with all the strength of humanity’s brightest, with no regard to the legions who now suffer obesity related disability, diabetes, etc.

When that same marketing machine gets its hands on marijuana, I’m sure it’ll make the world suffer.

And if you think to use alcohol as a counter example, think twice because the USA regulates it harder than most. GB is closer to laissez faire, and their alcoholism rates’ increase resembles our obesity.

I don't understand the problem. Let's assume that no real images are used as input to the artificial child image creation process. So what if it looks like your child? That is mere coincidence, and doesn't seem to me to be reason why it should be illegal to possess or produce.

This is a read heavy, not write heavy, block chain - reads of signed information is more common that writes of the signatures.
