Unrealistic security should be the only reason to disapprove of a bitcoin ETF governed by the SEC. Not only is it poorly suited for reckless centralization by thousands of indirect investors, but bitcoin as a whole would be setup up for mas

I'd be surprised if they didn't. There's a markup at which it'd be very economical to be a broader registrar. Future upselling is worth pulling users away from other registrars. Some of them will compete against CloudFla

Good move. I've been looking for a security-focused registrar. Will CloudFlare Registrar open its doors outside of an Enterprise plan?

It's no more philosophical than saying the alternative is proper. Uniformity of expectations seems more practical to me. In contrast, I wouldn't see an advantage in map ranges ever staying the same even per process. There's n

It is to prevent hash tables being relied on for order. Randomization was added so maps aren't treated as invariant. The behavior in a range of a map is no less correct to be changing (in Go) rather than unchanging (in other languages)

1. I don't see how. 2. Impure? 3. That's the point. It's to force people to stop using maps as if they're sorted. 4. Why would you want to rely on the arbitrary nature of a hash table for order? 5. That's the best t

You can mimic that syntax in Go. I don't recommend it but you'd only have to add a function. func it(n int) []struct{} { return make([]struct{}, n) } // ex. 1: for range it(10) { fmt.P

I can't think of any modern non-monopoly companies that have obtained global domination without a need to perpetually acquire niche competitors along the way. That's especially so as several companies (Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Go

I left it on overnight once. It worked. The pixel re-stuck several times after so it took a few more sessions. It's been normal going on a few years. You might try rubbing the pixel area a bit and testing other stuck pixel fixing softw

Days convey immediacy and scale. "Today" and "same day" balance precision. If time between an exploit becoming known and fixed consistently happened in 100 seconds or less, 0-sec might sound ok. Come to think of it, 0-se

Exploring past those gates into membership is rumored to have led to a cabal of artists and designers in the web's avant-garde scene. We may remember hell.com for what it represented. It was a rabbit hole that unsettled minds, unfurlin

Hell.com was in a league of its own in this genre. Those were the days. It's fittingly tragic that it's now reduced to a landing page of ads.

Corporations already decide what's illegal, largely, thanks to deficient systems. That revolving door exists. It's wide. The fact about law makers was worth mentioning because it often escapes people: pointing to a law, rather tha

Politicians decide what's illegal. Legislative decisions are frequently ethically repulsive if not crooked. It's usually circular logic to point to text on paper as justification of anything, especially in the context of ethics an

I agree that it's sheer insanity to prevent people from interacting consensually. It's ironic, considering drugs are decriminalized in Portugal. Free markets can't effectively exist as long as corporations as we know it exist

That's correct. Your duplicating a home wouldn't harm me. My magical house would be Free and open source. Let me know of any bugs if you'd be so kind. Catch and release if you have a heart. The corner spiders are friends and

You're welcome to do that. That's assuming you have the power to press a key and duplicate data that comprises a home and materialize it for your use. I'll even throw in a housewarming gift basket and a helping hand. The unet

Scott is hilarious. He's a bundle of insight. The slight jest about C++ being an alternative to itself sums it up: it can be a multidimensional beast. Quirky is a very kind way to describe smashing one's head on a keyboard repeate

D is a better alternative for many people. Speaking of Scott Meyers, C++, and D, his talk at DConf 2014 was humorous and you'll get a better sense of him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48kP_Ssg2eY It depends on your

Unreal Engine 4 supports a lot of C++11 style. True, it's not ubiquitous but it is helping the upswing. It's quite the behemoth.

Yes, abstracting knowledge to the point of not being able to use or think in basic primitives is often counterproductive. I can't think of a great example. It can apply to anything. Though your larger point stands, C++ is a not so grea
