one of the lesser human beings here. One of those who, according to you, shouldn't have the right to free speech that people in the US enjoy.
> If you really, really want to go to war against Germany again in 50-100 years from now and if you enjoyed the total destruction of Europe by the Nazis or the communist occupation of Eastern Europe, then please continue to insist that Germans should enjoy full freedom and speech, no matter how despicable, and to abolish constitutional safeguards against inner takeover by totalitarians.
Sure, just make bad words illegal and the underlying problems magically disappear. I wish it was that simple. No constitutional safeguard can stop a desperate and disenfranchised population. Like those people in Germany who lost their jobs due to the financial crisis of the late twenties and then had their unenployment benefits cancelled in the name of austerity.
If you really, really want to see the rise of the next Nazis and if you enjoyed the total destruction of Europe, then make sure the next financial crisis devastates people's lives and then hit them with "austerity" and don't forget to dump some more problems on them, like masses of refugees from a never-ending colonial war. Oh wait, you are already doing that. And then, when their jobs go away and the rent is going up, which apparently has started to happen in Germany and Sweden partly due to unplanned mass imigration, tell them that their real problem is their xenophobia. The Nazis are waiting for them with open arms and will be very happy when you censor them, because then they can paint themselves as prosecuted martyrs.
Ok, so Intel landed on the shady side of the performance/security tradeoff. That probably kept CPU prices artificially high for you for a while because it helped their market position. But don't worry, soon you will be allowed to give them more money for new processors which are less vulnerable. I'm sure this is the right incentive to never let something like this happen again.
Also, how should they know their CPUs have so many problems? NOBODY knew, apart from some geeks who write papers nobody understands. Especially this one CS professor (U.S. based, security focus) who tweeted a slide from a talk he gave years ago at an Intel event. Warned about all this out-of-order and speculative branching stuff, who was that again? I'm sure they are all just crazy conspiracy theorists. The government should really do something about them.

Unless the Android system itself leaks data to Google (which the XDA dev crowd would probably have noticed), I don't see a problem. The setup is less comfortable than standard Android, but if that's not acceptable, there are apparently ways to install apps from the play store on it.
Wow, this is the second piece of clickbaity nonsense today. Not as bad as the Falcon rocket thing, but pretty annoying. In retrospect, the headlines kind of gave it away, but me-monkey clicked anyway. How about a service that lets people tag headlines as clickbait and learns from them, like a mail spam filter?
If the "breakthrough" ever happens, Linux will be ruled by the one great unifying system services interface that does everything I don't need or already have something else for, because that's what the "big names" think of as compatibility. I mean systemd of course, or "Central Services" for those who watched Brazil. The result would be a limitation in choices (of desktops e.g.) and an increase in well-hidden complexity, causing security problems. That would be ok for non-technical users, because they don't want choice that comes with effort and responsibility and they have surrendered to the dangers of uncontrollable complexity anyway. To play well with them, Linux would have to become a slightly less invasive Windows or a slightly more awkward pro-bono MacOS. I don't want that. I want to control what my machine does and that means only installing what I need and keeping it simple. That's why I'm migrating to Void Linux now.
It helps to protect Intel's valuable intellectual property called ME from people like us. Don't listen to this barefoot Hippie Stallman from the FSF, he just wants the unwashed masses to have actual control over the machines they payed for.
The sun is a star, and the light-bending capacity of that thing has been demonstrated quite a while ago. Also, proving something to somebody dead is not possible.
Are these headlines intentional bait for wisesh*ts?
Maybe my english isn't good enough, but if "dynamic" means "dynamically typed" here, then the sentence as a whole doesn't mean too much. WebAssembly (wasm) is clearly a target for mostly statically typed, compiled languages. And future plans point to direct access to the page DOM and other Web APIs. If this becomes real, I will happily forget about JavaScript for ever..
Nim compiles to C and then to wasm via emscripten. My favorite among the newcomers with automatic memory management, mainly because it's simple and offers pretty powerful metaprogramming and can do functional when necessary.
The freedom to write programs that run pretty much everywhere via the web must not come with being forced to use one language, JavaScript, regardless of how "good" this language is. With asm.js and, hopefully very soon, WebAssembly, we have two compilation targets that should work for most programming languages. Implementing compilers will be quick once the WebAssembly-backend for LLVM really works with browsers. We can then use any langage we like to "script" our web apps:
code in your fav lang --> AST --> LLVM representation --> WASM src --> |(interwebs) --> |(browser) --> WASM binary
Diversity means freedom. And if we push it a little further, we could even end the "spaces vs tabs" and the "curlies vs. indentation blocks" and all the other endless AST representation discussions to rest:
code in your fav lang syntax flavor --> code in your fav lang --> AST...
All it takes is Editors which support "syntax styles" to present the AST of a language, just like css presents HTML. Hell, in Atom you could probably even do this with an actual css. Oh, and it would take developers who understand that we actually code an AST, not spaces and tabs and curlies and stuff.
P.S.: plz do not reply if you don't know what AST means:-)
- unwanted side effects because of uncontrolled data access from different scopes
It achieves that in a way that doesn't make your program slow or a memory hog, by using
- automatic memory management without a garbage collector
- data ownership/borrowing
- resolving abstractions early (at compile time)
In return, it demands a lot of programming discipline and openness to the new rules that data borrowing imposes on programmers. If you are ready to accept this because you really want correctness and security, then I guess that means that Rust offers you better solutions in a pretty unique way.
than conventional ones. It generates billions of random values in parallel, with incredible levels of entropy. I call it "cup of hot tea". I also invented a device capable of simulating three-body gravitational dynamics in real time, and I managed to reduce its power consumption to zero. It consists of two potatoes I throw off my roof. Sure, these are not general purpose computational devices yet, but I'm sure I can fix this in post.
Citizen, understand that the DNC breaking its own rules by working for one particular campaign in the primaries is NOT NEWS! If you talk about this, the evil russians win!!!! Accept that the rules are only for you, not for those in office! Stop thinking so much and learn to love exclamation marks!!!!
at least not natural science. Since physics is supposed to be part of natural science, it also isn't physics. String theorists can do their natural philosophy all they want, it certainly is not a "crisis of physics". Just like people who make highly unscientific claims like "there is only one universe".
It produces C code, so you can know the machine code that is likely to be produced by the C compiler. If you know what machine code your C code will become, which I find quite hard, due to modern optimizations. That shifts the problem to knowing what C code your nim code will be turned into. It would take some learning and experience, and one would have to weigh this against the advantages nim offers, of which the checking described here ist only one.

Making Volkswagen open a production plant in the US that would have normally been built in some other place is not as much of a punishment for VW as it is for that other place. But as long as you can force VW to give you the jobs and the taxes, you know, screw the auto workers and taxpayers in Otherplace, right? If you want to make this a new standard in your legal system, maybe next time somebody is convicted for assault, make the perpetrator pay a fine by mugging someone the judge really doesn't give a shit about. And now go and vote Trump, because this guy also wants more jobs for the US and shits on moral and legal principles, just like you.
Two things A and B occurring together can have one of these reasons:
1) A is a direct or indirect, exclsive or non-exclusive cause for B.
2) same as 1) with A and B interchanged. I possibly just lost the media croud, but anyway..
3) A and B have a common, direct or indirect, exclusive or non-exclusive, cause C (as in this story).
4) It's just coincidence.
Without further evidence, we just don't know which one it is; and you just jumping to conclusions because you feel like it and then being proven wrong is NOT news.
If you think this is would be a good thing, try Nim, formerly known as Nimrod. Abstraction level between C and C++ and it compiles to JS. Apparently carries less runtime baggage than emscripten.
Instead of
"... the NSA also massivcely spies on the german public."
should it be
"...on the german population."?
"Spying on the public" seems kind of silly when I look at it now.
States or "state-likes" like the EU spy on each other, ok.
I find it much more worrying that normal EU citizens are being spied on by UK services. My government (German) tells me they didn't know about it, and of course I am inclined to believe they are not telling me the truth (new default reaction to free world government officials saying something). The reaction our minister of justice got when she dared to demand some clarification from the Brits, a polite "go f**k yourself", is still interesting. Oh, and literally while I write this comment, this just in: (article in german) the NSA also massivcely spies on the german public.
