The summary mentioned a height increase but only of an inch and only account for 10% of the gain, not two inches and half of the gain as the person you were responding to noting. If nothing else he was correcting a bad summary.
But that is pure information, removed from any intent for use.
BTW that particular book is also REALLY POORLY WRITTEN. Some of the things in that book are wrong, some are so wrong I swear it was written by the CIA so terrorists would off themselves first. I guess in that sense the book is good, there's no telling how many lives it saved due to crappy malfunctioning bombs in the past... but its time is over as terrorists have more accurate info now. At this point that book is only hurting miscreant 14-year old boys.
the ability to see if you have a single reference (a feature of reference counting) is a feature needed to optimize string and collection types
What is that? Are you referring to weak variables where the reference goes to nil when the underlying object does? Garbage Collection systems have such references also (Java for one).
In none of the cases you listed were your own personal resources put forth, it was either transactions or freely given information (which as I stated earlier, knowledge transfer I feel is free speech and not aid).
Using your own gas and wear and tear on a car is quite clearly aid, just as donating even a single dollar to ISIS knowingly would be. The punishment may seem disproportionate and that could be argued, but not the fact they gave aid...
"Hey, I'm gong over to Syria to kill westerners and enslave Christians for the raping and whatnot. Give me a lift?"
How is that not aid?
If he didn't know, that would be one thing. But the Twitter stuff makes it seem pretty likely he did know why the guy was going...
The advising on use of bitcoin should be allowed under free speech, but aiding someone to become a fighter seems pretty far over the line as far as aid to a terrorist organization goes...
The item you have filed a complaint for was in fact explicitly authorized by "Net Neutrality". Have a nice day.
That's pretty interesting, I have usually used linear in place of O(n) just because more people can understand it... but I can't imaging how someone could use the term "linear" when it's obviously not. At least he didn't say constant...
In the keynote they announced Swift being open source later this year, including releasing versions for Linux...
Having done over a decade of backend work in the past, I think it would make a pretty good server language also. It's all about the libraries and frameworks that support what you are trying to do.
Swift was mentioned on CNN here
It was also mentioned on BBC here...
I've seen mentions of it all over, on a lot of non-tech web-sites. That has been kind of amazing.
Coding is starting to matter more, especially as black hats affect more and more people - so people are starting to care about it more generally, even if they don't really understand details yet.
Most Nordic countries are smaller than my city (metropolitan area).
You gotta problem with that?
(Or is it movies rather than money?)
They are called Stunt Men. Do we all not see a movie when a stunt man dies filming it? No.
In the gladiatorial ring, the combatant MIGHT NOT die. There might be a pardon. The difference is only in degree, not kind.
How is that Utopia working out for all of you people that keep thinking more Government will solve all our problems?
Are there, in fact, any people making that rather-broad argument, as opposed to, say, arguing that some particular problem might be better handled with more government?
That's sort of how the libertarian viewpoint evolves, I guess. Like Reagan started out as a democrat, presumably because he cared about people and favored social reforms. Then after living through the Communist purges in the McCarthy era,
Living through and not exactly vigorously opposing them. Whilst he did say he didn't think that the Communist Party should be outlawed:
Whether the party should be outlawed, I agree with the gentlemen that preceded me that that is a matter for the Government to decide. As a citizen I would hesitate, or not like, to see any political party outlawed on the basis of its political ideology. We have spent 170 years in this country on the basis that democracy is strong enough to stand up and fight against the inroads of any ideology.
he was, as the article says, a bit of a "friendly witness".
So I rather doubt that McCarthyism made him a Republican.
(Unless you meant that all those horrible Commies in Hollywood made him anti-government.)
Not everything is about the NSA all the time.
Yes, sometimes it's about 3D printing instead.
