OT: One thing I don't yet understand is why security-critical software is usually written in C instead of a language like SML.

How would you get people to invest in ZitCoins? Isn't that problem a major barrier to entry?

I can't answer your question, but I immediately thought of Perlis's preface to SICP: "Algol 60, never to be an active language again, lives on in the genes of Scheme and Pascal." Did racket revive Algol 60, even if with a weak pulse?

I think it's marking the positions of the word 'Wolfram' on the document.

I haven't done any of those things. Yet I'd wage it would be better to live on a shelter than on the streets, unless one has some serious psychological demons, in which case an hospital with specialized care should be preferable.

Why indeed. Where I live we have vacant free shelters where one can get a bed, a shower and a meal, and yet there are those who absolutely insist in pan handling for their next bottle. A sad picture.

HN everyday. FB about once a semester. I already spend too much time on more worthy information to even remember it exists. Its emails are automatically moved to a maildir folder that i tend to ignore.

I tried running, but it didn't help at all. the only thing that has worked, so far, has been a strict meal/sleep schedule and melatonin.

I'd really like to get an honest try at the motion to see how far it goes.

> WikiLeaks’ motivation is that of a court jester Can anyone elaborate on that?

by rtra 16y ago
if the sources were deemed extremely reliable one would imagine that it would be enough confirmation.

by rtra 16y ago
Do you have reasons to suspect that wikileaks has withheld leaked non-US documents?
19.
by rtra 16y ago
And the realization of this really undermines the assumption that these leaks threaten the US national security. These could have been leaked privately to an enemy just as easily - how worse would that be?

The comment doesn't justify any sort of spying. It's not a threat, but a seemingly true observation. Schneier has said essentially the same.

I don't know much about US law and I'm wondering what could have happened if he didn't hand them over the damn device without some sort of proof of ownership or a formal request.

There's a video on youtube of someone typing on a Kinesis Advantage, where one can see a lot of wrist adduction to reach the tab key. The Maltron keyboard might be a better option for heavy tab-key users.

This seems to be the general opinion of the specialists: The amount of sleep a person needs is not universal. If you don't sleep what you need you'll be harming yourself, and abusing coffee will only worsen things.

In my experience, ergonomically-sound typing technique is somewhat independent of the keyboard layout, specially if you're not a touch-typist. It all boils down to watching your wrists. Don't rest your fingers on the home row when you're re

Me too. After recovery my symptoms would re-appear whenever i used the mouse for more than a few minutes. I began using a trackball on my left arm. It's closer to the home row and now I have very good left-hand dexterity :-)
