IITC was explicitly a violation of the ToS and Niantic made efforts to foil it and ban those identified as using it until player outrage made them give up. The nature of the game also was antithetical to the notion of privacy since you could predict player movements just on the basis of field layouts. Anyone playing in an area also quickly learned the approximate locations of home and work for other players solely on the basis of habitual game activity. I mean, the whole point of the game was geolocation, it seems odd to me that anyone would have some kind of problem with that for Ingress.

You're mistaken. By default D statically links all D dependencies (leaving only libc and possibly OpenSSL (if you need it)) to be dynamically linked (which has it's advantages), but if you want you can statically link all dependencies (including the C ones), just like you can with C or C++. D produces the same format of object files as C/C++ which makes this just as easy.
Another alternative is allowing driving only at certain times, for example in Spain (and I guess in other places too) it's common to have pedestrianized areas with a few hours (say, from 8 to 10) where vans are permitted to enter for loading and unloading.
Yes in a way; we work with both bash and zsh, and have a similar repos for config files.

We are experiencing many developers switching from bash to zsh because of the recent macOS Catalina OS upgrade, and we want to show how bash and zsh can be configured similarly.

We want to easily clone a group of shell helpers (aliases, functions, etc.) that can use our preferred conventions and abstractions, and can run on a wide range of systems.
Used to live in Glasgow and it is my favourite city. I left for a job elsewhere.

The weather and the dark winters are the real issue. Association with violence is outdated - it’s much safer than London, for example.

Association with drinking alcohol entirely accurate. If you like that, Glasgow is a great place to party. It also contributes to a very communal feel around the pubs there. And it brings the downsides you’d expect - increased levels of alcoholism and domestic violence.

The Protestant catholic thing is a regular source of annoyance when the orange marches are on, but you can otherwise ignore it. Some momentum against the marching is developing now, hopefully the council will act.

Now the positives: long beautiful summer evenings, relatively warm winters, incredible arts and music scenes, best pubs and bars in the UK, beautiful parks, stunning architecture (really, really stunning), beautiful tenements you can afford to live in on an average wage like you’re in some kind of Parisian movie, great museums, Loch Lomond about 30 min drive away and lots of other beautiful countryside nearby, great staging post for the highlands. Incredible urban landscape to explore. Two great universities. Very vegan friendly - a bunch of the major venues for music and general hipster things are vegan.

But the biggest plus is the people - the most kind, warm, friendly people you’ll meet in the UK. People shouting out of their windows to invite me in for a drink. Starting conversations with me as I walk down the street. Drinking whisky with strangers you’ve just met at the bar. Community organisations (like the Children’s Wood mentioned in the article) spring up everywhere. This innate sense of fairness. It’s so hard to describe, but go visit and you might be lucky enough to understand why “people make glasgow” is both a council marketing slogan and also perfectly true.

Haha, Tasmania is a state of Australia and they are a little sensitive about slips of the tongue implying Australia is a separate place to them.
I disagree.

Dark matter is form of matter (matter is any substance that has rest mass) and it's dark (implying we can't see it and don't know what it is made of). Most hypotheses around the dark matter assume it's either new kinds of particles, or macroscopic objects.

Dark energy is also good name for hypothesis for unknown form of energy.
To me the concept of dark matter and dark energy reject issue with both the theory and measurements.

These concepts assume that both are correct, in which case the answer has to be matter and energy that is there but that we don't see.

Assuming your limited interface is representative, and there in fact always are more usable beds available than homeless people (I doubt this, but only have anecdotal evidence to the contrary from working with homeless people) - how does that translate into 'homelessness is elective'? I've seen a multitude of reasons that destroy peoples lives, and makes them unable to be a productive, rent-paying, law-abiding citizen.

Also, bed availability aside - I've heard many who are scared of the available shelters, due to threats, drug dealing or harassment from other ill-fortuned inhabitants.

Maybe we just define 'elective' differently.

I urge anybody who is worried about homelessness in their area, to try and dig deeper into possible root-causes for wide-spread homelessness. Maybe each and every individual homeless person have made bad or even catastrophic decisions that led them to their calamity, but if that really is the case (just for arguments sake - my experience says otherwise for most cases), why are so many making these bad decisions? Let's treat systemic problems as such, and make sure that we don't only focus on relieving symptoms, and maybe we find homelessness to be a solvable problem.
No. Just because space is expanding doesn't change the electromagnetic forces holding you together.
IIRC, for Canada, it depends on why you are there. There are exceptions for spouses, for example. It seems a lot of countries view family immigration a bit differently.
It seems you are understanding "politics at work" as "discussions about political parties, candidates and elections".

IMHO, politics is much more than partisan politics. In the broad sense, it is reflecting and deciding on how live together. And parties and candidates are only a part (maybe the most divisive) of it.
Gun control and widespread gun ownership changes nothing regarding totalitarian states. Poland after WW2 had lots of weapons in circulation. There was big anti-communist resistance. Some of them fought till 60s.

They achieved nothing and even the average citizen had enough of them few years in. They were only making life harder, stealing stuff to survive and causing property damage, and had no chances to win vs the army with tanks, aeroplanes, mines, and supply chains.

Now it's even more absurd. People pretending gun ownership protects them from totalitarianism are deluded.

(I am not a physicist) As far as I understand the current theory (i.e. our best guess), the 4 fundamental forces are somehow countering the expansion so that, even as everything in the universe expands, including e.g. every single atom, the forces are even stronger and are pulling stuff together.

I think this just opens more questions than it resolves, and would really like to hear a better explanation.
> > count of how many numbers are in out[]

> is not true, in the latter case it's a count of how many numbers you want to be in out[].

I'm failing to see how "index" is the count of how many numbers you want to be in out[] rather than the count of how many numbers actually ARE in out[], or why this would be different between code examples.

> Consider what happens if howmany is 1 and it generates a single even number. In the original you have an empty array and index 0, in the newer one you have an array e.g. [2] and an index 0.

Yes, that's the point, as was explicitly stated in the article.

> Yes, you can solve this by 'manually' only returning the first "index" elements but it's just asking for trouble and a source of bugs as seen in your attempt to describe it have a difference between the reality and your description.

What is there to solve? The end result in both cases is that variable "index" is 0, because 0 of the values in out[] are valid.

> You might not consider that to matter, but the point I'm trying to make isn't just nitpicking, it's that there are certain expected behaviours from code, and an array which is "all odd numbers, except maybe all odd but one last even number" is bound to lead to broken expectations.

Yes, and the expectation is that "index" tells you where the first garbage element is in the array (in both examples). You're either going to have an array with all garbage (index = 0), all garbage except the first element (index = 1), all garbage except the first and second elements (index = 2), and so on. What actual values are in a garbage index (even or odd or 0 or 1 or 2 or Martin Luther's birth year), are irrelevant because you're not going to read from those indices.

Yes. However, only immigrants have to pay the £400 "NHS surcharge"; they are also paying for it through tax and national insurance. The government figured out that it could impose all manner of arbitrary charges on immigrants because they can't vote.
People in USA have no idea how authoritharian/totalitarian regimes happen, so they imagine such absurd scenarios.

Totalitarian regimes start as democratic state with huge popular support for big changes in law. They slowly change law stretching some laws beyond recognition, but still preserving popular support by mass spending, finding external or internal public enemies.

Before the country as a whole decide it's enough - it's far past the time for a revolution. Half of your friends support the authoritharian government and work actively to enforce it.
Here's an image explaining the "bullet-cluster" observation. It's a compelling piece of evidence.

Two galaxy clusters have collided. The hypothesis is that normal matter will be slowed down by the collision, while dark matter, not interacting (as strongly?) with itself or normal matter, passes through in the collision. We can determine the locations of the gas by X-ray telescope, and the supposed location of the dark matter (assuming it exists) with gravitational lensing.

Exactly what I wanted to ask... he is super cool guy who achieved so much. Using pitons was considered normal till maybe 70s, I wouldn't cast every single climber of those times as 'sinner' since by that optic you can blame all the mankind till now for this or that.

Times have changed, camming equipment developed (which simply didn't exist before so walls would be unclimbable without pitons). They were just climbing with whatever was possible.

Actually climbers were one of the first pioneers of ecological and sustainable approach to nature, not only because they lived on shoestring. Once you get into these sports and experience it regularly, you realize how important and awesome it all is for us.

That said, you're right, of course there are no laws regulating the potential misuse or evil use of research results.

However I feel we, as societies, tend to feel that researchers have some kind of moral responsibility in the use of their discoveries. That somehow, the researchers working on nuclear bombs are not entirely unrelated to its use – and, on the other side, that Alexander Fleming deserves some moral credits for the uses of penicillin.

My point is that in software engineering we are usually held responsible neither by law or by this shared understanding.

Poland before WW2 had lenient gun control laws, and lots of illegal arms (it was where WW1 and 1920 anti-soviet war was fought).

It changed nothing, because you can't fight tanks and professional army with pistols. Besides when people were rounded up for camps they didn't knew they will die, it happened gradually.

Initially coming from C++ background, e.g. I had good understanding of its ownership model with move vs copy semantics (unique_ptr vs shared_ptr), I read many Rust blogs, watched a couple of tech talks and read several chapters of the book, so everything looked super promising. I even spend reading about linear and affine type theory.

But I can testify that spending my first days with Rust was a struggle the whole way. It's probably because D had spoiled me a lot by the time I got to Rust. After some time I lost interest as Rust didn't offer anything that I was actually missing in D, while D had much to offer in the areas of things I liked.

Well, I kind of tried. All you have to do is one of the following:

- drop under the minimum wage required for private insurance and the public has to take you back

- become unemployed and the state covers as mentioned above

Exceptions I know so far: Freelancers, mainly their problem is social security and retirement so. But yes, it can be tricky to return from private to public insurance. But as my insurance company stated, "there is an obligation to be insured, let's talk about your options".
One very notable exception applies to people living permanently outside the EU. There it really gets difficult, and you might even loose coverage for conditions you didn't have before left the EU. But don't ask for details here, all I know about that is third hand knowledge.

I mean, it's OK if management have political views, as long as those views don't influence search results.

As long as the experimental process is rigorous and the people are incentivised to use the right metric (and the metric isn't politically biased), then it should be fine.

However, upon making that argument I find myself concerned at the possibility that Google's corporate interests (and perhaps some political interests) may shape which questions get asked, and thus the direction the service takes.

It's quite analagous to Chomsky's views of news organisations in Manufacturing Consent.

We at least know the names of big corporations. Otherwise "we're forced to play the BitCoin game which just consolidates power to big anonymous holders and leaves a lot of people all over the world left behind".

85% of the BitCoins have already been mined. It's beyond the reach of people to participate in mining. What's left is pure speculation, based on the available supply. There's also a "culture" of HODL which means the actual exchange rate is determined by very few (big) sellers.
Comparing Visa transactions to Bitcoin transactions is definitely comparing apples to oranges.

A Bitcoin transaction on the blockchain is layer 1. A visa transaction is layer 3 or 4?

Disregarding the energy cost, couldn't a "dumb" PoW be more computationally complex than Sha256, such that a relatively larger number of computers could compete in the consensus algorithm, thereby increasing decentralization? To me, Bitcoin doesn't seem that decentralized, considering the ASIC chip manufacturers control the majority mining stake. Intel has even gotten into the game.
People working for Google, Facebook, and Twitter are smart. They understand this and have used the argument of being just infrastructure in the past.

They had to switch their story because they are not a neutral carrier. They prefer some messages over others. This is linked to their revenue model.

The simplest solution to 'just be infrastructure' is to show all messages linearly.

A more complex solution with possibly lower revenue is this: they could let the users pick algorithms to filter and sort the content, then they could claim to be infrastructure again. The user would need to be able to inspect the algorithms. The simplest one would be: no sorting, no filtering. That would make the sites unpleasant.

The smart people at Google, Facebook, and Twitter must have considered this option but decided that it is more profitable to share the power over what people see with the regulators than to share it with the people.

I think a better metaphor is driving. In many countries, like the US, driving is extremely widespread and most adults cannot function in the job market without being able to drive.

Same in tech. People understand there are screens, there are buttons you can click, text input fields you can type things in with the keyboard, on/off switch, sleep/standby, etc. All the things needed to operate it.
