an immutable black hole might as well be a shredder. the OP in the reddit did precisely that. that money is GONE. locked away forever. it has not been transferred to anyone else.

Call me weird, but I'll take callbacks any day over async await. If it goes too many levels deep, we have to ask what we are trying to achieve and perhaps consider a better approach (a specialized state machine? threads?)

tangent: why is the basis of most async functionality a form of polling underneath? Why are interrupts not used? or are they? source: epoll, select(bsd at least), isn't kqueue also like a multiplexed epoll?

And the US was already having issues in terms of STEM competitiveness... I believe the term is "decline" or "decadence"... I do not approve of publicly funding parochial religious schools, for example. This is a bad road

I have issue with the massive cost in other peoples lives you seem to be ok throwing away with such pronouncements. We have to FIX our system, not make it worse. The reality of trying to force our entire civilization to commit mass suicide

except that bitcoin doesn't replace any traditional financial systems. in the real world, crypto holders also have banks and buy and sell cryptocurrencies with/for fiat. very few retailers of any quality/price/repute sel

why not (get rid of) both? When do we auto-organize as a species and ditch these primitive blame games and Mutually-Assured-Destruction madness such as competitive wasteful economics systems that cause people to drive hours to a place they

I have no notion of what metaphor you are referring to. In real life, POW is a waste of electricity that produces nothing external to proving that CPU cycles were wasted, with an ever-increasing difficulty in the case of Bitcoin (getting w

Think of it as some sort of elaborate Dilbert, rather. The essence of it is the dysfunction of corporate office life.

The fate of life on earth depends upon 2 corrupt fossil-fueled obstructionists. Why is Joe Manchin even in the Democratic party? His voting record during the Trump admin was atrocious, including his confirmation of Kavanaugh. EDIT: Freudian

Maybe I'm being terribly naive, but I don't see this from a maths perspective at all, I see this as about the shape of data and about memory allocation. If one increments pointers across an array of data, one should know the stepp

this is nuts. essentially, serving a website to older devices that are missing the X1 certificate is broken now that the X3 certificate expired yesterday... or? (meaning, it's not a realistic strategy to tell clients to update/upg

that will need to bootstrap first, and you won't be able to use such GC code in the initialization code for the OS. GC code using Boehm would not be suitable for device drivers nor realtime code. I can understand where making it availa

It just doesn't seem like there was a comprehensive plan from day 0. Conflating: 1) the hideout of some rogue Saudis who architected 9-11, and the search for them. 2) regime change (we all saw those Bimini Buddhas blown up and heard ab

needs to be coupled with subsidies for alternatives, transport (public, electric vehicles, etc) and with the knowledge that a poor person will drive that old diesel car into the ground, so give them an incentive to switch.

The point I got from the OP was that traditional culture was low-carbon from day 0, and that at least Britain's climate change minister was jetting about an AWFUL lot, and there are plenty of jet-setters pushing a vegan diet upon the w

not the OP, but I'll propose that the code inside methods is largely procedural code, and this is one level (what you need to learn first), and then how it's organized is a whole other world subject to much debate. (even given SOL

in all seriousness there is no backup beyond a few hundred beds in even the largest cities, with waiting lists, and not exactly the first thing you think of when things turn strange in your life and you end up on the street suddenly. You do

deference to a high speed armored vehicle always? I will contend that "pedestrian" is the base state of a human who may also be a "driver" when seated in a vehicle. Cities are designed for whom? We err in allowing cars a
