C++ makes this possible via templates. Generally the size is moved to a template argument, which allows the compiler to check this at compile time (of course, this restricts you to statically sized matrices).

Basically you are not obligated to store those documents as a private person, as long as you don't need to show them to a judge during a court case. That's why I'm a bit on the paranoid side, because you never know when you might need a specific document to prove something.
In my case I do store all the documents which were signed (e.g. contracts) or are government related.

There is an arguement to be made for starting with a secure system and adding in regulatory features. For instance, if we adopt the articles proposed regulatory node idea, where the only role of the trusted nodes is to approve transactions, then a complete compromise of the trusted systems would only allow an attacker to perform a DOS attack or bypass the regulatory checks. In contrast, in a traditional system, compromising the central party gives you the keys to the kingdom.

Note, this is just to register your copyright. My understanding is that you still own the copyright if you don't register, but it's weaker in many ways, so when people expect there to be money involved, they usually register the copyright.

In practice, my understanding is that if it's distributed by a serious company, it's usually a registered copyright, and so the library of congress gets a copy.

This is what I am actually afraid of! Why would you want to become bitcoin worth even more... when its value is so unevenly distributed towards early adopters? ... when it is using as much power as a medium-sized country while only providing a few transactions per second at a price of $10+?

Before you jump on the hype train, just ask yourself if it really is a train you want to get on, consequences and all. Alas I fear lot of people are already too invested in bitcoin as to see the problems with it.

> When will we as a development community quit this weird Stockholm-syndrome-like relationship with proprietary systems vendors?

When most companies stop treating open source as a way to decrease their development costs, or as a legal way of doing piracy.

I was big into open source for a decade, but it hardly payed most bills.

Only software that requires consulting, training, or can be hidden behind a server wall is profitable as open source.

And since the supermarket lady and my landlord don't take pull requests, I build for systems vendors.

Obviously what the programmers knew to start with is of importance. But that's no property of the language (well, sure, being easy to pick up increases the risk).

But no, ignoring that it is not a big assumption really. The benefits of static typing comes pretty quickly, especially if there are more than one programmer.

Yes, yes. Of course it is.
> It is built on top of RDBMS (MySQL),

Can I hear more about the rationale behind this?
You seems to think that there is some kind of analogy between a weakened version of the Navier-Stokes equations having multiple solutions and the double-slit experiment generating an interference pattern. I don't think there is such an analogy.

The equivalent of a spreading wave in quantum physics is the vector field describing the flow according to the Navier-Stokes equations. The equivalent of an interference pattern is the pattern of vortices in the fluid. When you do a double-slit experiment, you'll always see the same interference pattern, and it can be predicted exactly. There is only one solution to the equations. Having two different vector fields satisfy the Navier-Stokes equations with the same boundary conditions would be like seeing different interference patterns for no reason at all.

There is no place for the Uncertainty Principle in this result, because that is a statement about the standard deviations of two complementary quantities, and there are no such quantities involved here.

The JVM startup is quite fast, and it can be made even faster when using a JVM that supports AOT compilation to native code.

Slow startup of Clojure's code, it's Clojure own doing.

The (Clojure) "JVM Slow Startup Time" Myth - http://blog.ndk.io/jvm-slow-startup.html
If your static site is running on a physical or virtual host that you manage, then it is not serverless. Not a difficult distinction?
Not the GP, but you have to take into account that these are studies done by mathematicians, not physicists, so there are to points to consider.

First, weakening is not related to uncertainty, at least not in the normal sense that I think you refer to. It is not related to the physical solution itself but to our own rules of what we consider a solution. If instead of vector fields we were working with animals, the strong solution would be "we need this animal to be a duck" and the weakened one is "we need this animal to quack when we poke it with a stick". So it is not similar to the quantum uncertainty principle nor anything like it.

Second, mathematicians are interested only in these specific equations. Breaking the equations means that they do not model correctly the real world, and finding those new equations is the job of physicists. Maybe there are other conditions on the solutions, or maybe the relaxation they did allows for non-physical solutions. In fact, they do not prove that those solutions satisfy the energy inequality, so it might be possible that all but one of those non-unique solutions are only possible if you allow fluids to magically gain energy out of nowhere (which obviously conflicts with thermodynamic laws).
> for every parallaxed pixel on the screen the heightmap texture might be looked up several dozens of times

I didn't realize it was on the order of dozens. Just to clarify, we're talking pixels and not texels, right? This isn't dependent on the resolution of the map?

> roughness mapping, even if somehow applicable would need to be highly anisotropic for it to work

I didn't think about that, I guess you're right. How huge, exactly? Seems like something you could compress very well if you combine textures into a larger megatexture.
Did you just make that up?

Safety critical systems integrators only buy computing equipment explicitly designed to be safety critical. That's a requirement from the system designer (or possibly the law), not the other way around.

You don't put auto everywhere. You write out the type in 99% of cases and save auto for 100+ character templated types.

There is no reason to to save the literally 0.2s (you can still spend that time reasoning about your code) it takes to write the type. It is better for yourself writing it and for readability to be explicit.

The Navier-Stokes equations do not in fact reliably predict the flow of all real-world fluids. The comparison to Newton's equations is perfectly apt. Good enough for most applications, but may be imprecise in some cases.
Yeah, so what can we do to change this? First step, don‘t buy into the hype and advocate against bitcoin at every step. People need to know that bitcoin as a technology is not what we need and will die hopefully sooner rather than later.
How Apple risks losing its position of trust
Given this it's really a shame that Apple does not allow other browser engines on iOS. Would be a prime opportunity for competition to raise the overall quality level.

WebKit is a core part of iOS; lots of APIs use it for lots of things. You just can't swap it out for something else without breaking things.

Lets not forget the security and power usage issues as well; the last thing iPhone users would want is a rendering engine that wasn't optimized for the hardware and software draining their batteries.
An Incomplete Timeline of What We Tried

My literal point was that China _is_ affecting our elections RIGHT NOW. So any discussion of election interference should include ALL nations that are doing it.

NK and China both directly interfered in our 2016 election:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/north-korea-china-i...

http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/11/09/china-just-won-the-u-s-e...

Did you know that already? Or are you enacting the entire flaw I'm talking about? That everyone is so focused on ONE country that they're forgetting the others that are doing the exact same thing.

And when China isn't apart of the discussion, my second point is this: Who has the most to gain by keeping the discussion on a DIFFERENT country (Russia) than themselves? China. I would not be surprised at all to know that the kings of nation-state hacking themselves, would also be fanning the "Russia is the threat (so don't look at any other threats!)" narrative to keep the heat off themselves.

I've got sources and logic on my side here. Are you really going to continue arguing that other nations don't matter, because "somehow" Russia is an even bigger threat--even when they do the same evil actions as Russia? At that the country with the largest military on the planet that is "at technological/effective parity" with US forces, doing the same evil actions, is somehow not a threat to us?

http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-military-near-parity-w...

So is this really about politics and logic, or is this simply a matter of projecting still bitter wounds about the Trump election, and you don't "know" that China got him elected so they don't matter? What if you found out China DID get him elected, will you suddenly care then? I just proved that China interfered in our elections. So is this really about elections, or, simply, a Russia hate bandwagon and sharing the limelight with China would dilute it?

Be honest. When was the last time you saw a major discussion on HN, or the news, about China's interference in our elections? Did you even know it happened? If you found out Uber/Dick Cheney/Facebook/whatever skewed the elections and wasn't reported anywhere, wouldn't you wonder why there's that omission?

Looks like a case for anti trust, just like microsoft had with IE.

You must be new around here. ;-)

Microsoft used their natural monopoly in operating systems (Windows has 95% marketshare) to force OEMs (HP, Compaq, etc.) to bundle IE with their machines and not Netscape Navigator. Microsoft threaten to cancel their Windows licenses.

And later, it decided, against its decent decree with the US government, to bundle IE with Windows, claiming Windows wouldn't function without IE, which was a lie.

Perhaps you're not aware that natural monopolies are themselves not illegal; it's using that monopoly to force the market to do things it ordinarily wouldn't in some other area.

So… no, there are no antitrust issues regarding web engines on iOS. And of course, Google, Mozilla and others have browsers on the App Store that use WebKit anyway, so it would be hard to make the case they're being harmed…
