I think a good analogy would be Perl is Finish, Python is Esperanto. When you have hundreds of thousands of LoC to maintain, I guess a more direct and unambiguous language is preferred.
It occurred to me that perhaps Perl is an attempt to seduce the computer... too bad it will take some time before it can appreciate language nuances...;)
No, the OP does not have a point. Why are you focusing on one specific instance? Violence is widespread, and is committed by all kinds of people. Christians of all denominations in the US were quite content with the fact their government torture people (or offshore the task). The loads of innocent people that are killed in drone attacks are also not victims of muslim terrorists.
Religions are stupid and should be extinguished, but the correct way to achieve that goal is through education. With violence you'll only get more violence.
If by "normal" you mean the normal curve, I guess you're right... probably the majority of the population is ignorant people that can't analyze the facts for themselves. Easier to watch Fox News and hate the other group.
IIRC, the license explicitly forbids running it under a VM... though in my opinion if you paid for the crap you should be able to run it whatever way you want. But, as I said, Windows is just a waste of hard disk space to me, be it a partition or VDI.
Because nobody offers that option. I would gladly request a refund for the Windows 7 that came with my notebook if I could. The only reason I keep its partition is because I paid for that crap, and just "in case I need it"... but it's been 3 years so far without booting it. I guess I'll just wipe it and give more space to my Linux partition whenever I get some time to do it.
Double spends for anyone who can connect to both sides of the network. Essentially, there will be two ledgers, an International ledger and a Russian one. If you spend on the Russian ledger, the International ledger will still have your money. When the network rejoins, whatever ledger has the most hashing power behind it will be chosen as the correct one, and all the transactions from the other one will be retried on the new global ledger. If the network saw a new transaction spending a previous transaction's outputs, it would be rejected, as well as any spends referencing that transaction, and so on.
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
This happened already.
I guess I've missed the news, any links for my lazy ass?
Bitcoin sounds like a nice investment for dictators willing to further screw their populaces.
E.g., would you rather try to see which bit is set in a string like "0b001011010011011101011100" or have it broken up like "0b0010_1101_0011_0111_0101_1100" or "0b00101101_00110111_01011100". If it's a bit field, you may even want "0b001011_010011011_01_0_111_0_0" if breaking it into fields has meaning.
Such a small change to help readability...
If you're really interested in readability you would probably define those bits, like: #define HIGHSTUFF (0b001011 << 17) #define NOTSOHIGHSTUFF (0b010011011 << 8)
and then or them together.
Alternatively you could define a macro for your bit field, like: #include #define bitfield(a,b,c,d) 0x##a##b##c##d int main() {
printf("%x", bitfield(f,f,f,f)); }
Because you said that thousands of years ago specific genes were transplanted
No, I didn't say that. The example I gave was only to elucidate that a single gene (or even a bunch of them) doesn't define a population. I read my post again and the message still seems clear. But ok, I'll make it fucking transparent: suppose I write a book and copy an entire paragraph of Shakespeare's Hamlet, then proceed to burn every single copy of the aforementioned play. It doesn't matter that a paragraph continues to exist in another book, Hamlet went extinct.
I haven't said Denisovans were a different species... you are aware that the word "extinction" is not limited to species right? If all Caucasians | Africans | Mongolians died, their population would be extinct. Their genes would still survive in other humans, and that doesn't make any difference to the fact they would be extinct.
And how the fuck did you read religious connotations in my post? I'm an atheist.
The explanation of the evolution is terrible. If the gene was inherited from a "Denisovans" then that Denisovan didn't go extinct. His descendents are still among us. The gene did not spread through the population; the people who had the gene survived and people without the gene disappeared leaving more space for those survivors.
Yes, the "people with the gene" were called Denisovans, they "disappeared", therefore they did go extinct. It seems you don't follow the logic of your own statements.
And just to make it even more clear: suppose I make dog with the tomato gene for photosynthesis (a solar powered dog, how cool is that), then kill every single tomato plant in the world with some Monsanto shit. It doesn't matter that my glorious green power efficient dog would carry the tomato gene... tomatos would still have gone extinct.

Ok, in this thread there are already C++, Ruby, and Perl 6 versions of your snippets, so I'll add the Python ones.

It's amazing how the joke got old so quick. I guess you should have stopped around the third iteration.
And before you come criticize this comment, wait for Bennett's.

Does that apply even if you're scratching your head while saying the false things (or the "least untruthful things") intentionally?
And it was fa-bu-lous!!!

What happens to the block chain if the network is split, as in this case?
E.g., would you rather try to see which bit is set in a string like "0b001011010011011101011100" or have it broken up like "0b0010_1101_0011_0111_0101_1100" or "0b00101101_00110111_01011100".
