It's only ever journalists that use it - they attribute the quote to the speaker's role, not to their name. Anyone else would just introduce the reader to the speaker, and then use their name to identify them in the natural way.
Every time I try DuckDuckGo, it either gives roughly the same results Google gives, or it gives worse results.
If you want an example, here's one off the top of my head: D programming language compile time expressions
Google's top 7 results are right on the money (though ideally the very top result wouldn't be the Compile-time Argument Lists page). DuckDuckGo's top 7 results are nowhere near as good - ironically it seems to be matching 'regular expressions' with 'expressions' in a way that a human programmer never would. If I scroll down, I can see there are the relevant pages there, but they've not made it to the top.
This happens constantly with DuckDuckGo. The cost of inferior search results really adds up, so I'm not going to switch.
Thanks for the analysis here - sounds like another SPIR-like trainwreck.
Is there any winning when it comes to memory-management? As in, an IR that works nicely for both GC'ed an non-GC'ed memory-management?
As you say, it's awkward to shoehorn manual memory-management onto the JVM, and it's also awkward going the other way - LLVM is known for being an amazing platform but hard to use with GC.
The D programming language is just about the only source language I can think of that has decent support for both models, but of course, it's not an IR.
WebCL isn't supported in any browser, and neither are WebGL computer-shaders, but from a quick search it looks like some enterprising hackers have managed to leverage WebGL for compute, even including bitcoin mining.
But the fact is, it's a bad search engine. Google eats it for breakfast.
Ideologically, I want to like DuckDuckGo, but it's just not there yet.
If it ever does get there, I'll gladly switch over and hope Mozilla adopt it as Firefox's default search engine. But not before. I have stuff to get done.
Keep pretending the "champion of the Internet", it's part of your act.
They are, though. The fact is that Google is the best search engine out there, and putting anything but Google as the default search engine does nothing but annoy users. Mozilla have to be pragmatic and pick their battles.
It's like with EME. If Firefox supports it, people like you call them traitors to their ideology. If Firefox doesn't support it, people mock Firefox for being the only browser that doesn't.
Yup, it's a bullshit title. Non-technologists seem to expect technologists to want to see high-tech solutions to everything, but serious technologists know that isn't always wise.
Bruce Schneier has been saying for over a decade that US elections shouldn't be made fully electronic.
Either Cloudflare didn't notice that there's a superficial predictability to a lava-lamp, or you don't understand how their RNG leverages lava-lamps and chaotic fluid dynamics.
I don't think your comparison works. When I see someone in a fancy car, I think There's someone who wants to show off how much money the have, but I don't assume they're necessarily planning on speeding.
There's also an engineering aspect here: if you want to make a car that can comfortable drive at 70mph on a motorway, you'll certainly want its maximum speed to be somewhere north of 70.
I agree that our current essentially-indefinite copyrights are a perversion of what copyright should be (and originally was) about.
Copyright infringement is neutral; you don't gain anything, but you don't lose anything either. (The same cannot be said for copyright enforcement, which does cause actual harm
Way to deliberately ignore that copyright law has succeeded in making books/music/movies/software commercially viable, and the enormous benefits that brings to everyone in the first world.
Their problem is that their income comes from doing something that no one actually needs them to do, namely distributing information. If they charged a reasonable price for their labor, or for access to never-before-published material, there would be no problem.
I'm not seeing a practical alternative to copyright here.
It's time to abandon that failing model and go back to charging for the useful work of creating new content.
So cinemas shouldn't pay a dime to the movie-creators? It should all be done through patronage schemes?

Is there a name for this anti-pattern of writing?

that is precisely what happens with the "Climate Funding". Read the fucking document before commenting you stupid, alarmist dickhead.
I thought you were the one saying there's cause for alarm.
all the virtue signalling, leftist dipshits that swallow this lie hook, line and sinker.
So do the work and show this to be the case. (You're posting as AC, so I won't hold my breath.)
Either Cloudflare didn't notice that there's a superficial predictability to a lava-lamp, or you don't understand how their RNG leverages lava-lamps and chaotic fluid dynamics.
Which seems more likely?
opinion discarded
From an AC? Now I've seen everything.
Interesting - do you have a source? A quick Google didn't turn up anything promising.
humans will learn new strategies from playing against it
Unless those strategies aren't 'human-friendly', which they might well be.
The human mind is good at pattern-detection and heuristics, but is extremely bad at brute-force.
But you're still Anonymous Coward to your friends, right?

Don't be ridiculous.
I see three factors:
A car isn't built with the intention of being used for crimes.
The old I'm morally justified in pirating, because I don't like the price-point.
Nice.
like everything Symantec, they then proceeded to run it into the ground.
On the upside, they would have been able to run it really fast.
Does the auditing process involve proper tiger-team pen-testing?
Stop trying to paint the Iranian government as a threat to Hollywood, or whatever it is you're trying to do.
Good news - this projection doesn't break any copyright laws.
voluntarily
In practical terms, that just isn't true. Plenty of Americans have to take the work they can get, no?
I'm glad this kind of nonsense would never fly in Britain or Europe.
I was going to call you on your grammar, but I think it's technically correct.
Amazon AWS would like a word.
Ah, looks like I'm wrong! Sorry, Slashdotters!
Uber is enforce this thing then?
