You don't need to be rich. It costs very little to fund a $30k life insurance policy, which will get your whole body suspended with Cryonics Institute. Alcor is more, $80k for just the head.

One difference is flow control. When you call a function, all the arguments are evaluated before being passed into the function. If you want to delay evaluation, you have to wrap the argument values in a function. When you call a macro, the

I second the other comments suggesting to at least treat online advice with a grain of salt. That said... I burned out some years ago and have been struggling with recovery since, depressive thoughts aren't far away but by now I'v

"Come up with"? Absolute monarchies actually worked pretty well overall, we don't need to "come up with" anything when we can just restore the Stuarts[0] and their system, for instance. Okay, the current elites (who

Anything that even smells like the financial and banking industry is considered shady by a lot of people, not just programmers, after our Great Recession. A necessary evil at best, and for programmers one that pays very well. In any case, i

If you have the ability to MitM a high value site like facebook.com without getting caught, I think it's worthwhile to do so regardless simply because you'll get some portion of the users who bypass the warning. In my scheme, the

I agree in that scenario it's hard to say whether one is more likely to be the true certificate than the other. If we're assuming attacks that aren't targeted towards specific users (e.g. from state actors, or just a corrupt

While we're making art style changes, why don't we change the experience for self-signed certs? When the user first visits an HTTPS page with a self-signed cert, they get the content, and the URL art style has a broken lock or som

Not really, sorry. I had forgotten that the first letter is compared case sensitively as I remembered from Nimrod it was all insensitive. But I still think for nearly all cases in real world code you can instead of using nimgrep be equally

No, they're not. At least, children in general don't enjoy the full rights of a legal adult person. Traditionally children were viewed as property of the parents, and in many senses that's still true. Read 'adult chimpan

I agree we should be able to give evolution the middle finger. But I disagree we can do so in any effective way in the timespan of 5 years, unless we somehow hit the Singularity by then. You overestimate man's intelligence and streng

While this is sort of true, this attitude contributes to the problem another commenter mentioned about how working with FPGAs is like taking a trip to the 70s. There's no reason you can't use a full-fledged programming language li

There was an interesting talk at PyCon 2013 about programming using only your voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI Might be worth looking into for your case. It's worth mentioning that the guy did this fo

I don't think that's it. One should worry about toxic choices. I just don't think a culture of asking people out is toxic. Something I do find toxic is an environment of conformity that imagines itself so fragile that it over

Sure. What's wrong is, after it's clear the advances are unwanted (a single but firm "no" is sufficient), continuing to make them. What's also wrong, though a lesser wrong since the signal can be missed, is the init
