I'm not so sure if it's a default setting. I guess it inherits some other settings that Google used to have earlier. I have always allowed Google to use info from me, as they pleased. So, when I visted the link, it was checked for me.
I might be willing to anonymously support a product. But that's a far cry from having my name and picture being used to promote it.
Personally I'm surprised by the extremely high disapproval/approval ratio for C++. It does what you want it to, it's performant, the syntax doesn't make you jump through unnecessary hoops, and it isn't full of warty language design problems like Javascript. I may be too biased to see the issues because it was my first language. A C++ hater's perspective would be appreciated.
Now... Why do you say that spending boosts the economy?

Yeah, I know I'm questioning something quite basic. Do you (not just you, ds9, but anybody) have any justification for that that isn't a direct quote of Keynes? Because investing boosts the economy (by increasing productivity - Keynes never modeled that, go figure), and spending reduces the potential for investiments, so the picture is at least more complex than that.
But that's not the hypothesis that's being pushed. The hypothesis being pushed is...

Please. That is not the hypothesis that is being pushed. Nowhere did I argue if there are gender disparities, it is because of gender differences. I was specifically objecting to the opposite notion, if there are gender disparities, it cannot possibly be because of gender differences. The scholar in you ought to understand that distinction, and why it is important if we are to have a logical discussion...
Yep. There are huge advantages to a GitHub model over Wikipedia for collecting information.

Shameless plug, but highly relevant: I'm trying to make 'git as a platform' more accessible for non-programmers with a project I'm working on - http://www.penflip.com. Wrote about it in detail here: http://madebyloren.com/github-for-writers

Glad to discuss it further if anybody's interested.

Plenty of possible reasons for that. One would be b/c there's no way Assange could get a TV show in the US, but RT has a decent Youtube following here.
Big Data Could Create an Era of Big Discrimination
Rust has safe manual memory management, at the cost of a learning curve. In D you must use the garbage collector if you want memory safety, but it avoids all the complexity of lifetimes and uniqueness. This difference makes the two languages feel pretty different, even if at their core they're pretty similar.

Does not bashing everything Google does immediately make someone a Google apologist?

The fact that they do a lot of very questionable things does not mean everything they do should be immediately condemned. Judging a single action as neutral or useful does not preclude disapproving of the actor in general, and general disapproval should not preclude viewing specific actions neutrally and in context.

Trailing comma's, really?? Its is so fucking ugly and inconsistent. Either ALWAYS have traling commas, or never have it. And since the meaning of a comma is separate two items, a trailing comma makes no semantical sense, the only reason you want it because
A) youre lazy
B) you dont know howto properly serialize to json (youre doing string manipulation probably
C) you never heard about the .join function
D) you dont know how to read a diff
E) you dont do syntax checks before you deploy your code
I believe you've got this incorrect:

We have the following:

ServerWeb
ServerDNS
Attacker

Background: To poison DNS for ServerWeb, Attacker will need to send forged DNS packets to ServerWeb from ServerDNS. However, ServerWeb will only accept packets for the short interval between requesting the lookup and receiving the reply. In practice, that makes poisoning the DNS extremely unlikely.

DDoS protection: A completely unrelated attack on ServerWeb by Attacker is to send a spoofed DNS request to ServerDNS from ServerWeb. This DNS request uses very few bytes. However, the answer to this request sends many more bytes. This means that Attacker only needs X bandwidth to create a DDoS of 100X bandwidth on ServerWeb. To avoid this, ServerDNS will simply ignore these types of requests that generate a lot of data.

The problem: If Attacker is able to make ServerWeb request these types of large response DNS queries from ServerDNS, ServerDNS will simply not reply. This is very good for Attacker as he now has a good 10 seconds or more to forge the correct request and poison ServerWeb.

The attack shows how the complexity involved in DNS and other web protocols can quickly go out of control when making seemingly simple 'fixes' to stop newly discovered attacks. Understanding the repercussions of even minor changes to any part of the infrastructure can have unintended side effects.

As an aside, are there any good rundowns of using a LISP for web development? I don't personally see it recommended/done a lot. Curious if that is just my exposure, or if it gels with reality.
I dunno. Why are there so many people so angry with Google that anyone who doesn't think this is "THE END OF THE DAMN WORLD AS WE KNOW IT?!?" is an apologist?
Drug Delivery Service OPSEC - Hacker OPSEC
Yes, that's part of their plan though. Not only will they be able to enrich themselves from unilaterally seizing the assets of Silk Road, but they are also deterring others from selling products on questionable marketplaces. It's quite insidious.

Their argument is as such: You shouldn't have been selling legitimate products on Silk Road to begin with, since Silk Road is an illegitimate storefront.

Things might've changed now, but Steve is right. there used to be a sense of dread with other compiler directions. Last time I was in, GDC was about a year without any serious updates. DMD on the other hand didn't have support for 64bit, which was imperative for my usage at the time.

All this talk about D got me nostalgic about great group of people and a sense of accomplishment being made (with language and libraries) when I was using it. It makes me want to have another go, almost.
Predictions for Apple's Monster October 22nd Event
"defer" has really weird semantics; it's based on imperatively pushing cleanups onto implicit per-function mutable state. (This shows up if you call "defer" in a loop, for example.) It's also possible to screw up and forget to use "defer", causing things like leaks of file handles. RAII, on the other hand, is based on lexical scope, without hidden mutation, and also makes it harder to forget to do things like close files.
Jolt (Java JSON transformation library) Command Line Interface
> The idea of a 'write-only layer' in the browser scenarios described is ridiculous. It simply doesn't exist.

I'm sure that will be quite a surprise to Microsoft as they shipped it years ago.

You couldn't push every possible operation out to the GPU but there's no technical reason why the subset of operations which a browser would use to playback a video couldn't be supported, similar to the way a modern desktop can be GPU accelerated but e.g. screen captures don't include windows where restricted content is playing.

The problem is not technical – that ship sailed years ago – but business: the content providers and consumers have accepted the current status quo with plugins rendering the subset of paid content which isn't playing in a native app. The businesses don't need perfection – they're already making truckloads of cash. As I stated above, we really need to figure out how to disrupt that if you want to see any change. Pretending that technical perfection is necessary or that the public isn't willing to tolerate a billion dollar a year status quo is just delaying that discussion.
I think the issue here is not much about privacy, but about your image being associated with a product without your prior consent(for each product), and for free.. when they do this, you become the product together with the thing you are endorsing..

To make this more clear, imagine you signup for a new cable television channel, and you watching it, suddenly your image shows up with a product in your hands, smiling, and saying: "This is the best product i ever used", and you realize that its being broadcasted to everybody watching it.. would you fell comfortable about that?

Once we settle down for this kind of things, and think its normal, we are contributing to a world where we are constantly sold as a product; and that my friend completely diminish the human nature.. its a slow and erosive dead of humanity (in the confucian sense of it)..

All values we give importance today as freedom, truth.. will lose more and more value, and the only thing valuable in society will be money..

I know it may look like a exacerbation, but this is a systemic process, going on from several front lines.. and that one is one of them..

This is not much about privacy implications (despite it has some too), but more in a ethical degree.. and the failure to detect it properly can have severe consequences to us all in the long term
TECHNICALLY "plain" means a number of things but most definitions revolve around: "easy to perceive or understand; clear, not decorated or elaborate".

I think the hole in your understanding is assuming that math (in this case big-O) actually maps to reality. Big-O (and algorithms themselves) is defined entirely in mathematical terms. This model can allow input to be arbitrary large, and can allow operation to take a constant time. If you want to, you can talk about the algorithmic complexity of an algorithm assuming prime factorization in constant time. Maybe not useful, but no reason we cannot talk about it.
Join doesn't help to stream to JSON from a database cursor. Unless you buffer the response first which is pretty horrid.
I used to be in the same boat as you although not nearly as bad. I hated public speaking and I was extremely shy.

But in my freshman year of college, I had to write a one page double spaced paper about anything every week. On Friday, we’d all read it to the class out loud. Looking back on my college experience, it was probably the single most valuable course I took just because it made me practice speaking in front of other people. As you’d expect, practice makes perfect (or improvement) and it’s now one of my greatest strengths according to those around me and it's a great skill to have!

I wrote a letter about this class and teacher if you’re interested: https://medium.com/dear-blank/dc36bb5d403a
Unlike facebook, google has a good track record of keeping settings like this unchanged. In fact, if you've already opted out of previous tracking related things (like personalized ads), it appears they set this new thing to off automatically.

I'm no fan of these sorts of things at all, but at least google has yet to betray my privacy settings where it seems a routine thing for facebook.
Yup thats the correct %. Of course these weren't random guesses. I'm only correct ~2/3 of the time historically (past 1.5yrs) but that's way better than any hedge fund out there.

You don't need to start a new party to start undermining the Repugnicrats. At every election, vote any existing 3rd party. If you want a new party, go ahead and do whatever that takes, but while that's going on, vote anything but Dem or Rep.

If you're dissatisfied, it's much better to vote against the two parties, which counts (however small), rather than not vote which concentrates their apparent approval.

The icon set at hand is based around SVG; while it claims to have a pile of 'open-source' scripts for improving the AI icon-generation workflow, I would imagine that you could load all the SVG files into Inkscape if that's your preferred vector editor, and build similar workflow scripts for it as well.

And if you want a DSL for graphics, check out Context Free[1]. It outputs SVG.

It's not JavaScript bytecode, but regex bytecode. V8 parses regular expressions to regex ASTs, takes them through some more intermediate forms, then finally to a special regex bytecode. That bytecode is either interpreted, or JIT compiled (depending of some build options, I think).
You can look at a list of bytecodes in [1], and at the x64 JIT in [2].

Orthographic reforms are usually associated with a revolution of some kind, some recent examples are the introduction of Simplified Chinese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters), the change in Russian orthography (http://russiasgreatwar.org/media/culture/orthography.shtml, although this started earlier than the Bolshevik Revolution) and the Turkish Spelling Reform. In these cases the new regime sees the change as a way to cut ties with old one. The ones that don't have the hard-core backing of an autocratic government generally don't succeed, e.g. the very recent one that was attempted in Germany in 1996.

It is interesting to compare Japanese and Korean writing systems: Both of these started with borrowing Chinese characters, due to the immense cultural prestige of the Chinese Empire. These languages show striking similarities to each other (and Turkic languages of Central Asia; although they are usually considered language isolates this may stem more from a cultural bias). Although the Chinese logographic writing system seems hopeless to an outsider, it is uniquely suited to the to tonal Chinese language. The problem is that Korean and Japanese are very different from Chinese (i.e. Mandarin and its "dialects" spoken in China which are part of the Sino-Tibetan family). Koreans have solved this problem cleanly in the 15th century by inventing Hangul while the Japanese approach was to create an extremely complicated writing system with different characters, including many Chinese ones.

Maybe Japanese writing was more culturally ingrained by the Middle ages in Japan compared to Korea to make such a sweeping reform unthinkable or perhaps its feudal structure (i.e. the regional daimyo) and a weak emperor did not have the clout of a ruler like King Sejong in Korea.

Maybe someone with knowledge of Southeast Asian history care to comment on this.
There are some great answers here.. I'll take a higher-level perspective of looking at having your own merchant account versus using a payment processor's merchant account (e.g. Stripe, Braintree).

By establishing your own merchant account with the processor, you'll have lower rates but signing up will require a lengthier process of providing your business info and having that reviewed. Basically this mean that you're taking on the risk of fraud or chargebacks directly. The benefit of course is that you'll have lower net costs esp. at higher transaction volumes with the variable pricing aspects that has been mentioned here already. It also allows you to add more value-added services that align to your business needs, such as subscription billing or other servicing layers.

On the other side, signing up under a payment processor's merchant account (e.g. Stripe, Braintree) can get you up and running instantly with a simple pricing structure. This often make sense for businesses who need to get up and running quickly without having to go through a merchant account review process. Also, the risk is actually taken on by the processor since it's their merchant account with the processor. Of course the processor in this case monitors fraud on your activity in order to protect themselves. What you'll find though is that as your volumes grow, there will be an inflection point where it'll be more cost effective to switch to the first option.

There's benefits in both models, but as always, companies should see what makes sense for them.
Algorithmic complexity is determined by the complexity of the primitive operations. Most computers have primitive operations that are constant time, and can emulate the primitive operations of other computers in constant time. A notable exception to this is quantum computers, which have some operation that can be done faster than classical computers. Another exception is the Turing Machine, which take O(n) time to look up a random value from memory, whereas RAM based machines can do that in O(1) time.
