GC is great if you don't have anything outside the GC that you need to worry about. When you go multi threaded its a blessing, most C++ i worked hacked reference counting to deal with the "some thread could be using it" problem. However I always thought that with C# it would be tricky including "legacy" COM stuff.
New generational GC that uses copy rather than mark and sweep, cuts down on fragmentation quite a bit.
The other thing you can do immediately is simply turn off password authentication in ssh.
Which changes the problem to managing a secrete passkey file on every machine i want to use to access it. Not necessarily an improvement in some cases and user nightmare in many.
Passwords are fine, if you can prevent offline attacks.
Inductive Aluminum smelting is pretty common. It has no hysteresis losses either. In fact in every commercial setting I have ever heard of the predominant heading method is current induction, not hysteresis heating. Hence the term induction heating.....
German is a sovereign nation. It can do what ever the hell it likes to EU directives rules. Its not like any country follows all of them. And some (Italy/Greece) seem to follow none. Also being one of the bigger money contributers to the EU they have some serious leverage.
And all of what i said still applies. How many people where used? What was the age distribution, sex distribution etc. The "longer" was based on what statistic? Often no statistic was used... just a mean. (I have real work to do right now so i don't have time to read it). Selection bias may also be a problem. How where the participants picked? Was it a flyer and a university with free food etc?
And then they do wonderfully BS statements like "may even..". We found A therefore Z is probably, maybe true. Of course this guy thinks correlation/causation phrases is overused. Its the only thing hes got to grind his axe.
And thats not what i said. You are being deliberately obtuse. If its bloody sunny 1 hour out of 2 and you get direct light on your panels then how that frak is anything i said wrong? Here a overcast day means and overcast day. Not cloudy with clear periods. The claim was that these panels would be better and work well in indirect light conditions. Which they won't!
And this alone can just introduce selection bias. After all we all know that any study that shows $OPPOSITE_OF_FAITH_OR_ACCEPTED_FACT_DOGMA is going to have a much harder time meting requirements.
what do you really expect on a public internet forum?
But also cut them some slack. I have read so many of these studies that i now start with the assumption of bull crap. Its mostly right, this field in general is so slack about rigor its not funny.
The other field i find that it like that? Medical studies. Yea really. Do you really know what that pill will do? Ok so we know its probably not really bad for you... but beyond that...
Youth crime and violence have been steadily decreasing since the introduction of the playstation in 1995. And apparently, they haven't been this low since the sixties.
You mean it coincides with Global Warming! Its not the play station you fool. Its a warmer, nicer climate for everyone.
Or perhaps its correlated with less pirate ships.
Its seems correlated with the rise of the internet too.
And my age. I am getting older and the world is getting less violent? What am i suppose to say to my grandkids. "back in my day, we shot teachers that gave us bad marks, we didn't give em' apples deary"?
There are very real limitations to psychology/sociology studies. Example:
I like to beat on things. I like to kill ponies and kittens when on the farm. Theres nothing i enjoy more that a bit of brother beating. Why i think i will play a game of a)Chess, b)The sims, c) modern warfare 2.
Now real studies have *massive* problems with being totally statistically bogus. I should know as I sometimes use these studies to show how stats can be so bogus (also some medical studies). Small numbers aside there are 2 principal causes of bias. The first is not accounting for natural bias. Violent games are played by guys mainly. Violent crime is committed by guys mainly. Already i can get a correlation that is *not* casual. The next is miss application of tests. In particular trying lots of different tests with different parameters (aka chi2 with different binnings) until you have a result that is "significant". This is a hidden multiple tests problem. The "reviewer" or reader has no idea that 7 different tests where tried before getting a significant result.
There are other massive problems with this sort of thing. Meta studies have the problem of non independence if not done very carefully (same dataset many publications). Then the small numbers problem makes false positives while having power hard to avoid. How is violence measured? if its from arrests with violent crime, then this a very rare thing (compared to average) and makes proper inference very difficult if not totally arbitrary. We haven't even got to publication bias.
So his quote:
Video Game Violence, and media violence in general, are more than proven to increase aggression.
Is really misleading at best. Read the studies. They don't say this, because you can't. The data doesn't support it. And what does "aggression" mean? Or what defines a violent game or TV show? And in this meta study, what was done to "normalize" the different measures of violence and aggression. There is a reason why a lot of people say psychology/sociology is not a real science.
They also have access to iPhone etc at school. And hence porn, therefor nothing a kid does is the parents fault. Its the government. We should regulate kid rasing. What could possibly go wrong. After all those foster kids that are looked after by the governemmnt are treated and cared for so well, and go on the become model citizens.
The idea is the physical exercise is draining your bloodstream of the adrenalin that anger has released. So a jog or weightlifting should be just as good as boxing (with less head injuries). There is even some suggestions a while ago (don't have the link sorry) that *not* "burning" the adrenalin is pretty bad for you long term (aka long term stress "illnesses").
Only two years? Its was started with Helen for I don't know how long. This is not a partisan issue. Both sides want it. And local government is doing their part too. Which is bad cus they really are from the "community".

I publish in Peer reviewed journals and i have a very low rejection rate.
IMO Peer review is overrated. Plenty of crap gets though, and plenty of good work gets walled out.
I think he was onto something. I, for one, would pay big money to see lawyers die.
You lie. You would just download the video coverage with bit torrent. Piracy is hurting the legal system.
So why are the open access journals so popular. Why do even the big journals offer open access "page charges" option?
Thats not a bad analogy!

Maybe there is an increase because now you get to hear the news. Where as before you wouldn't.
When my parents got concerned about doom, I linked the computers with null modem cable... and Dad played doom till his dying day.
We're as good-natured as any Americans.
That may not be considered an improvement over the original statement.
Maybe the parents are playing ... some kind of video game too much...

I don't quite agree. Well adjusted kids choose violet video games too. Cus they are fun. The rest I totally agree with.

Note that Michelangelo and Da Vinci were thought of as tradesmen by their contemporaries.
And they were also quite poor. But back then everybody was.
