SFMTA, our terribly run public transit conglomerate, says "Circling for parking accounts for approximately 30 percent of San Francisco’s congestion". While I am skeptical of the source (this was to justify an expensive new parking meter system and higher rates) it does seem possible. I'd love to see scientific research.

Right. What I'm saying is that, by keeping alive both path, you need to use some traffic. Although when there's WiFi available, you are primarily using WiFi, there are traffic going through cellular network in order to keep the path alive.
Yes. It could also use an ignore feature, and thread folding and notifications. It could use a lot of things but if you look around you'll find a few userscripts or userstyles or whatnot that make things nicer. Unfortunately discussing meta topics like this is verboten.

Which is odd given the nature of the site and its users.

I'd post mine but it only barely works. I find it interesting the way this site seems to annoy its users into creatively hacking solutions into it. I'd almost suspect that was intentional.
As a practical matter, I don't think a set of similar sounding but technically different definitions will change consumer behavior. It could even say "totally safe but slightly less delicious" and I bet most people would throw it out.

Doing this is way too risky. It puts your company at risk to secretly sell this data. Imagine if word slipped about this. It could easily landslide into losing half your user-base and eventually the rest of them.
Inflation has more to do than with overt quantitative easing. Also, share price has no direct correlation to overall valuation; you have to throw in the number of shares and multiply.

Stunning Procedural Skies In WebGL – Part 1
Tragic. My condolences to her family and to the driver of the car (not a situation anyone wants to be a party to I'm sure). I've done this ride a couple of times (OLH to Skyline and back down 84) and from the pictures can swear I've seen her out there before. This is an extremely popular route for cyclists and unfortunately it's also very sketchy (bad lighting, narrow roads, no shoulder, cars and bicycles going around 30-40 on descents), both on OLH and Skyline. For the safety of everyone in those parts perhaps better lighting, slower speed limits, and wider shoulders should be installed. The last time I road out there in early Aug, SB from OLH on Skyline was a fatal car accident and the road was closed.

I'd still love ad-hoc better. HotSpot allows you to share 4G through WiFi, but it doesn't scale. The hotspot because AP, and that's the center of the network. On contrast, ad-hoc can scale to thousands of nodes across miles by using multiple hops. Also, ad-hoc is a more distributed model.

I never understood why ad-hoc mode was disabled by driver. AP mode (hotspot) is still available; users can still share their 4G connection without being approved by their carrier.
Good compiler support, a wealth of documentation, an active community, and a number of well-maintained libraries are all rational and informed reasons to choose a programming language. Network effects matter.

Misleading headline, to start with (you say bubble, we hear overvalued asset or market). Past that, the post starts with a hyperbole. There's no way that guy was being serious, and if he was he should've been disregarded. I can relate to the idea of being detached from most people, living in Chicago, but that's how it is in big cities or tech havens. There's just more stuff available where a lot of money trades hands, that's market opportunity.
There is another attempt at it. That language has been in development for a few years and is almost ready. Rust combines the best features of C and functional programming and through a very clever pointer system manages to eliminate race conditions, null pointers and dangling pointers at compile time. It has a powerful type system and smart type inference. It's possible to have some memory be garbage collected, but by default it isn't so it can be used for tasks that prohibit garbage collection. The compiler ensures that freed memory will never be accessed. It's built for modern parallel hardware and offers tons of concurrency features, like lightweight tasks, actors, async, etc. Its structs are compatible with C and Rust can integrate seamlessly with C code and librairies. It compiles to native using LLVM. It's backed by a major non-profit, Mozilla. It's a fantastic project and it seems to have all the right cards to be the perfect alternative to C++.

Check it out. My only disappointment (and the reason why I'm not using it seriously at the moment) is that because the language is still in development, it changes extremely fast and 80% of the documentation online is wrong and won't compile. Even the official documentation contains a lot of outdated syntax. Hopefully that will change once the language reaches version 1.0, in the next 3-6 months.
Strange to see a post on the front page with so many votes and no comments. Has anyone played with this? It seems a lot more mature than the open source PaaS things people are building right now but I wonder how much harder it is to use in practice.

I'm sorry, but no. Going over 30 mph does not make this her fault. And becoming "wobbly" at slower speeds is not the reason riding faster is preferable and safer on these stretches. It is because the biggest risk is the car closest to you, i.e. traveling in the same direction as you. The faster you are going, the smaller the delta in speeds, the less likely you are to be hit, and the less likely you are to die from the impact when you are hit. Driving at lower speeds because you are worried about the cars in the oncoming lane puts you at greater risk to the greater threat. And 30mph is not fast enough to negate your ability to react -- unless of course the situation does that for you in its entirety.
begin() and end() return iterators. Python has iterators too, so this concept shouldn't be alien to Python programmers. reverse() is a generic algorithm that operates on any pair of bidirectional iterators.

Actually, in C++, you ideally wouldn't reverse the string at all... you'd just call str.rbegin() and str.rend() to grab the reverse iterators, and pass them straight to your next algorithm.

The two approaches are just as consistent as one another, Python just uses a terser syntax (which, in my opinion, isn't as obvious).

In C++14, if all things go according to plan with Concepts Lite, you'll be able to write a short 3-5 line, reusable, version of reverse() that takes your string (or container) as one argument, deduces at compile time, during overload resolution, that begin() and end() return bidirectional iterators, and then does the right thing. Failing that, C++14 may introduce Ranges. So C++ is only getting terser.
How often do you need to reverse a string, or even a list?
There is no legitimate business-based excuse for Yahoo! to have turned down Microsoft's offer. Yang et al had to fight tooth and nail to keep it from being executed, and that opposition was obviously based purely on ideology: not wanting to become part of the MS behemoth. I don't believe any informed person seriously thought that Yahoo!'s choice to not only forgo but actively prevent Microsoft's buyout had anything to do with anything else.
I had something similar happen, while coming downhill a car popped out of no-where and instead of just breaking, i also turned sharply and flew over the handle bars, luckily on the good side! The way we react in a split second of panic is not the way expect we will usually react.

You also have to keep in mind road bikes don't have disc brakes so precision is not part of road bike brakes. Those are most likely caliper brakes, which actually lock up fairly quickly when pressure is applied to the brakes.

> That's your opinion.

It's not an opinion. It's a simple matter of observation. I see software all around me (and I write some of it) written in C/C++/Java and other imperative languages scaling perfectly fine on large scale multicore systems. I use linux, OSX, Android and iOS on a daily basis. Almost all the code running on these boxes is written in imperative languages, much of it written as parallel, shared memory code.

Google (where I used to work, but I don't think I'm revealing any secrets here) runs a gigantic cluster on foundational software almost entirely written in multithreaded C++ with the kernel written in C of course (some of the application level stuff is in other languages, but still a whole lot even at that level is in C++). Almost any large scale, parallel computational systems you could name are written in imperative languages.

To call all of the above "just my opinion" is simply denying reality. There's no further argument to be had unless there's a basic, shared reality ground to stand on.

Ad-hoc networking on wifi generally only supports point-to-point links, not routing, unless you use another routing protocol on top of it like BATMAN Advanced.

Opinions on the internet are always extremely distorted. It's not like a survey where you make a bunch of random people answer some questions. It's several cycles of selection bias and network effects. It's kinda bizarre, actually.

In general, most people are indifferent. They won't feel compelled to comment on it. Naturally, you only get comments by people who have a sufficiently strong opinion on that particular topic. If you now add voting to the mix, you emphasize this distortion even more.

Now, the reason why it works this way is because it makes it interesting to those who participate in these discussions. That's the primary goal: encouraging user interaction.

It does not paint an objective picture of the community's opinion.

I agree that it's probably a bad idea to publish a story about this program.

I'm guessing the type of guys getting into fights in Cardiff bars are going to stop telling the hospital staff when they realize it could lead to their favorite bar getting targeted by the police or even shut down.
I literally wanted to end my comment by talking about "haters" and the people who talk about "haters" in a very nasty way, but since the guy I was criticizing didn't refer to "haters," I felt that was unfair and putting words in his mouth.

To not rant: the fact that someone criticizes you is not a sign of a quality that they hold of being a criticizer, When people criticize you, they are criticizing you, and if you feel that that makes them a criticizer, it's because you define other individuals in terms of yourself.

Instead, pretend that someone is telling you how they see you from their perspective, and decide whether their perception is distorted, or if you just have to eat it and accept it, and reflect.

>So it's his fault that people were nasty and hated on him?

Depends what you mean by fault. If somebody hates fox hunting, and I hunt a fox, is it my fault that people are upset with me? I'm just living my life how I want to live it. What does fault even mean? If you're a shitty singer, singing on the street outside of my apartment, and I stick my head out of the window and yell at you that you suck and should shut up, is it your fault that I told you you suck? What does that mean? Am I a hater?

>blaming the victim much?

While there are some clothing choices that could be sincere, what I meant is that I don't understand what those clothes sincerely are. I thought skinny jeans were a recurring fad, and the big glasses were fashionable or meant to get attention or something.

For your other questions, I think someone who spent 2 grand on a suit just to be showy is pretentious. If they did it because they really like expensive clothes, that's better (although probably still vain). If they did it because their family comes from money and they're just used to wearing crazy expensive stuff, that would be the most "sincere" way I can think of.

When General Alexander wore jeans and a t-shirt to last year's Def Con, it looked pretentious. http://blogs-images.forbes.com/andygreenberg/files/2012/07/S...

He looks like he would feel better in a uniform, like the one he wore to this year's Black Hat. http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/alexander2.jpg
I'm not sure I'd that path-finding and maintaining sync are hard problems, especially since they are problems that in an RTS aren't quite as sensitive to latency.

The dangers of petrol are a total non sequitur in this case, and have no bearing whatsoever on the well-documented and well understood dangers of hydrogen gas. Cholesterol is likewise highly dangerous, but saying "far more people die of heart disease than hydrogen gas accidents" has very little import in a discussion on airships and helium.

There are good reasons we don't use hydrogen anymore in airships and use helium instead. There are other good reasons not to use helium, but those reasons don't trump the dangers of hydrogen, unless you knew of specific development which would mitigate the dangers that pressurized hydrogen gas presents, which I'm guessing you do not.
In addition to the other explanations about braking power, the reason why you have little breaking power is that most of your weight is over the front tire -- especially going downhill. Locking the back wheel up, means it just skids across the road.

> Kickstarter are leaving money on the table, not just for them, but for the artists they host as well and that's a pity.

That's exactly my point. I have been working on a tech project that is currently slated to go on KS. I find myself wondering if a site like indiegogo might be a better idea. KS does not help with discovery. I don't have a huge network. I woild prefer a service that actively informs it's userbase of relevant projects based on their profile. This would have a multiplicative effect on gathering supporters. I, too, have experienced coming upon a KS project of great interest to me only to learn time had run out. Multiply this by thousands of people and you have a situation that is far less than ideal for project originators and backers alike.
It's basically everyone: we all have a tendency to take certain pieces of knowledge and experiences for granted and universalize them. Someone else might be shocked that someone doesn't know how to ride a bike, or how to change a car's oil, or has never ran a ten minute mile, or has never milked a cow, or doesn't speak a second language fluently, even though it's very easy how to see any of those might be considered a very fundamental, basic human experience.

Right. But I supposed by hotspot/ad-hoc, we were talking about the link layer possibilities only. hotspot is also about MAC layer only as well. IP runs on top of that. However, the difference is that, in AP/client mode, all nodes need to associate with and be able to talk to an AP; while in ad-hoc mode, every node is equivalent and they can be as distributed as they want. For ad-hoc routing, there're olsrd, batman, etc. They are really cool :-)

We used to use Android devices to test different scenarios of ad-hoc applications. But none of current mainstream devices support ad-hoc mode any more. On contrast, iOS devices can still join (although not create) an Ad-Hoc network, which is ... ironic.
