Just to completely hijack this whole thought... Bjarne S. has pitched 'smart references' as a library feature for C++, for the fourth time. Smart references require adding overload capability for operator..

It seems that by adding operator;, operator if, operator for, etc., we could use Veldhuizen-style expression-templates to have a two-stage macro-system in C++.

Obviously, a two-stage macro-system is not as capable as fully general macro system. However, it seems to me that we get the most bang for the buck from the first lift, and lifts above the first are not as common. Although, my use of Lisp-like macros is very limited—perhaps I'm just wrong?

In what way do you think paywalled music is working?

Artists are getting screwed, while a few middlemen and labels are still making decent money. The whole payment model, forced by the major labels, absolutely fucks smaller artists over - meaning that they get only a tiny fraction of the subscription fees, even those from users who only listen to their content.

I am 16 and I published my first android app
Over the course of several months, I have self taught myself how to develop on Android through Java with several course on Udacity and Youtube. After a few months of learning, I start creating my first application and published it. I would appreciate any and all feedback since it's my first application. When I created my first application I start brainstorming and create an application based on the classic whack-a-mole game. The game would have a large emphasis on UX (User Experience) and design. In the app, I include several features such as worldwide leader-broads and achievements. What i noticed the most difficult aspect of the job was promoting the application since I had a zero dollar marketing budget. I hope you enjoy my game!
Dictionaries are descriptions, not proscriptions, of words. I'm not "using" any definition of fascism other than the one I've built up in my own mind based on my own lived experiences. I'm not going to be questioned on a dictionary.

It is true that all exercises of political power are at the end of the day coercive. My personal take on this is to minimize political power, but to do this takes a specific social arrangement that doesn't exist in the present day.

The hypothetical I came up with is one where it's easier to attack an existing system than to create new and liberatory systems. This is the same as reality. It is much, much easier to get a fascist talk removed from a conference than it would be to get everyone at that conference to come to an appropriate understanding of feminist and anti-racist thought and praxis. There are certainly people involved in education, propaganda, and outreach, but this is by nature a much slower process and one that will not bear fruit in any reasonable time span. It is certainly not fast enough to counteract things like fascists at conferences, so we shut down the fascists.

I also obviously disagree as to whether denying a fascist the ability to spread fascism is injustice, or more broadly, whether attacking the oppressor classes and limiting their ability to oppress is somehow unjust. But then, I also care much less about any concept of "justice." Certainly the world is not a just place, and I question whether the concept of justice as communicated by oppressor classes is something we need to bring with us into the future.

> I'm troubled by this assertion. I know firsthand that ADP will actively fight attempts to integrate with them; their APIs are bad, poorly documented, and have reliability problems.

When you buy a bond, you are making a loan. You have agreed to hand over a bunch of money today and in return you get scheduled payments from the lendee. The quarterly or biannual or yearly payments are set in a specific currency.

If you recall the stories told about Germany after WW1, they jacked up their inflation because their repayment (pmts were to France, I believe) amounts were set in Deutsche Marks. Because the German gov't could print marks, they could raise inflation arbitrarily. Inflating the volume of deutsche marks in circulation makes each individual deutsche mark less valuable.

So in the late 20s or early 30s, the German got had cut themselves a sweet deal handing worthless deutsche marks over to the French and the german people would buy loaves of bread with wheelbarrows of Deutsche marks, according to the tales.

Inflation is not only the result of printing extra money. If workers become more valuable, their salaries rise and they have extra money to spend, the merchants they trade with can raise prices as well, etc.

So from a naive, freshman macroeconomics view (ie mine), increased trade, increased demand drives inflation in the currency. By that same token, decreased economic activity, laid off workers etc drives deflation. In that scenario, money is worth more and more because many people don't have it. That's when someone on the street in the Great Depression trades a pound of apples for a nickel, when currency is scarce and valuable.

So betting on deflation can be tantamount to betting the U.S. economy at large will tighten up and times will be rough. It is my understanding of the Telegraph headline that many traders bet on an economic downturn that never got as bad as they had hoped for.

Used to play LoL a fair bit, and still watch it every once in a while, but have mostly switched over to Dota.

Major differences:

-No denying in LoL

-The lanes are much more rigid, with 1 top, 1 mid, 2 bottom, and 1 jungle being the standard meta, although in competitive you will sometimes see lane swaps. I can't say I've ever seen anything like an aggressive tri-lane in LoL.

-There's a lot more out of game but game impacting customization of your hero/champ in LoL that is tied into their micro transactions (runes) and account leveling (masteries).
In Dota all of these small differences are absent, and the items are generally more impactful and more frequently have actives. The biggest out of game impacts are from your choice of heroes.

-On that same note, in LoL, you only have a small roster of free champions each week, plus a couple of starter champions, to play from initially. You can buy more as you earn more in game currency or pay money to unlock them directly. This is contrasted with DOTA giving you all of the heroes up front as soon as you make your account, with only cosmetics being for sold for real money.

-Spells are generally more costly and less spammable in Dota versus LoL.
Champions in LoL are usually centered on one controllable unit, with some having a second unit that's controllable through an alt-click. This contrasts Dota's more RTS controls where heroes are capable of amassing armies of units.

-I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but overall a lot comes down to the different design philosophies of either game. Valve strives with DOTA 2 for "perfect imbalance", with everything having some "overpowered" aspects. I can't really speak to what Riot's current design philosophy with LoL, as I haven't followed it a lot recently, but a lot of the decisions are built around their specific take on the f2p model.
Perhaps what programmers of modern JavaScript should be doing is going back and revisiting things that have been considered harmful practices for quite a while. Some work in extending prototypes would make a huge difference to the readability of lots of code - yet everyone is told this is a bad practice because extending DOM elements is problematic and people are lazy when it comes to global namespace pollution. Realistically, neither of those are reasons for it to be bad practice anymore.

TL;DR, use Time except when you need to deal with historical dates in their context.

This was actually explained in the last paragraph of that post. Emphasis mine.

> So when should use you use DateTime in Ruby and when should you use Time? Almost certainly you'll want to use Time since your app is probably dealing with current dates and times. However, if you need to deal with dates and times in a historical context you'll want to use DateTime[...]
Not so much a bad idea but one with very limited applications, like squeezing through TSA security guidelines and actual practice, and then wanting to/to be able to fire a lot of rounds afterwords.

Not ideal in general if for no other reason than more complicated ergonomics. I recently read an interesting observation that the shape and weight of a full sized service pistol got established more than a century ago; that, plus e.g. my observations of how many ill trained people in the US still manage to effectively and responsibly wield handguns in self-defense suggests we've achieved an ergonomic optimum.

So radical deviations like your idea are not likely to be good even before we examine details, like how you don't want to limit yourself to only one wrist, it probably decreases the gains from the bracing that can be applied by your other hand, the coupling mechanism is likely to be problematic, slow if nothing else, etc.

>> You seem to be implying that because Google Maps exists, Apple is only allows to provide Google Maps integration.
Apple hasn't "replaced" Google maps, except in its own apps. Google Maps still is on the iPhone.
Plus, remember the conflict over Google maps was because Google wanted too much personal information about he users and Apple wasn't comfortable with that. Apple spent a lot of effort to replace something for the purpose of protecting users Privacy. I'm not aware of google ever going thru such extensive efforts (despite the cheap website propagandizing the contrary we saw the day of the WWDC keynote.)

I never use Google Maps on my iPhone, I only use Apple Maps now. Apple Maps works with Siri and my Apple Watch. Apple Maps is the default. I prefer Apple tracking me instead of Google (home, work locations etc) I want Apple to do the same for search.

>> I'm tired of this smear from people who hate Apple. For the record, you can stop pretending to own Apple products. You're not going to convince us your somehow objective with this lie. When you smear people defening Apple as "fanatics" then you miss the point that Apple is constantly being attacked.
It is the existence of Apple that you cannot tolerate causing you and your kind to constantly attack Apple, and this has been going on for 40 years.

I want Apple to succeed, I prefer their products which is why I want a Google search alternative with better privacy protection. But because I disagreed with a snarky comment you accuse me of being dishonest. Wtf

I am all for database pragmatism. Fortunately, the choice "graph database" or "non-graph database" is no longer binary. We at ArangoDB are convinced that graphs in data modelling have their merits (namely when you need "graphy" queries), but you do not want to be locked in to the graph data model. Therefore we argue for multi-model databases, which can give you graphs, but do not force you to use graphs for all and everything.
With "graphy" I mean queries that involve paths in a graph whose length is not a priori known (e.g. ShortestPath).

You could technically use some FPLang-to-JS compiler,

Extending prototypes seems like a great idea, until other code running in the same environment does it, and you realise why people stopped doing that.
when you roll 2 dice, you get a lot more evens than odds.

i imagine the same principle holds. if an odd (Hydrogen) forms with another odd, you get even. Hydrogen+helium=odd, but helium + helium = even. as the evens outnumber the odds, even more evens are forming with evens.
The point that I find hard to dismiss when talking about the differences in Apple's privacy policies versus Facebook, Twitter, Google, et.al, is that there is, in fact, a significant difference between the privacy of an email, text message, or phone call, and the privacy of a post on facebook, or a tweet. With a phone call, people require warrants, which require judges, in order to listen into a phone call, and similarly with a text message (I assume, I don't know the law about SMS vs phone calls). However, it's understood when using services like Facebook or Twitter that unless otherwise and explicitly stated, your posts/tweets are public, searchable by the public, and kept on servers that are well beyond your control.

Because of this fundamental difference in security, I think it is fair to say that Apple can make a real and authentic claim to caring about user's privacy. I believe under no circumstances should my phone calls or emails be accessible, searchable, or indexed anywhere other than by myself and the people they are distributed to. SMSs ought to be encrypted and be able to be decrypted by myself or the recipient only. These modes of communication are fundamentally different, and apple has the ability to implement these precautions, and I believe they are truly trying to do so. I don't see how it's even a fair comparison to say Apple is hypocritical compared to the social media giants and Google. They offer fundamentally different services, and should be expected to respect privacy on fundamentally different standards. I don't advocate lower bars, I want high bars for everybody. That is why I applaud Tim Cook for making it a point for Apple to adhere to a high standard of privacy protection. I genuinely hope that what he says reflects the true implementation of that policy.

What the article doesn't state clearly is that this assumes the strong exponential time hypothesis: it assumes that SAT cannot be solved in time 1.9999^n -- in other words that it's impossible to do better than the brute-force algorithm, which has complexity 2^n (up to polynomial factors). That's a very strong assumption.
That's not an explanation, it's a recommendation. The author does not state _why_ Time should be preferred over DateTime.

In my opinion it is incorrect for a much better reason - we don't know that P != NP.
