    can't tell if you are a troll or being genuinely stupid, but .onion are tor links. I'm inclined to think you are trolling.

  2. Re:decentralized on github??? on Has the Apache Software Foundation Lost Its Way? · · Score: 2

    more like a center. It is trivially easy to add a second or n++ remotes to a git repository. github is hardly the biggest threat to open source.

    because one is the operating system and the other is the kernel. Every linux distro does the same thing. Ubuntu 13.whatever uses linux 3.8.

    Yeah, it turns out that the guy uses alcohol to grow. It also grows on anything unhealthy. So, it's baked kale chips for you.

    i wish they would just drop the code already and let their traffic go there rather than hammering their sad ci page. It looks like they didn't tune or cluster their database very well

    Granted, these mocks look awesome. However, could they possibly rip off OSX any harder? I am really surprised that Apple hasn't tried to sue Gnome.

  10. Re:Good idea. on SEC Proposes Wall Street Transparency Via Python · · Score: 1

    I know Ruby and c++ are certainly capable of meta programming.
    Has this simple fact entered anyone's mind.

    Take the following example for instance:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>

    using namespace std;

    template < size_t N > struct Q {
      ostream & operator()() { return Q<(N>>6)>()() << ((char)(30+N%64)); }
    };
    template < > struct Q<0> { ostream & operator()() { return cout;} };

    template <class H, class T> struct P { };
    typedef P< Q<0x29c71a6e>,
      P< Q<0x270a8c74>,
      P< Q<0x2da7bf2>,
      P< Q<0x2e8f69c2>,
      P< Q<0x2f9f68c2>,
      P< Q<0x32d31a74>,
      P< Q<0x23befaf0>, Q<0x29082082> >
      > > > > >
    > M;

    template < class H > struct V { void operator()() { H()(); } };
    template < class H, class T > struct V<P<H, T> >{ void operator()() { H()(); V<T>()(); }; };

    int main() {
        V<M>()();
        // cout << '\  n';
       // Edit: if I escape the backslash, an extra space appears between \  and n; if I don't then the 'n' is invisible?
    }
    source: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bj10p/c_template_metaprogramming_mindblown/

    the output is:
    GOOGLE FOR TEMPLATE META PROGRAMMING

    Would any one in their right mind imagine this?

    I am sure python has to be capable of this kind of convolution. If not, then ruby has a one up on py.
    I am too lazy to convert this c++ demon into a ruby script. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.
    EDIT: when I try to post this, it is giving me a too few characters per line issue. What is up with slashdot these days?
    I don't mean to go on a rant, but some of their validations is insane?

    because having multiple computer vision systems with different focuses is not a bad thing. For instance OpenCV has nothing in the way of Waldboost classifiers. Opencv seems to be mostly focused on haar-like feature classifiers.

    Now that it is in the cloud, does that mean there will be some restful api library for it in ruby? Then again, this is really more of an nx question than anything else. amazon already has ruby libraries.

  25. The Internet shouldn't be regulated... on FCC Commissioner Urges, Don't Regulate the Internet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But if ISPs are found messing with the neutrality of the connections, then they should be held liable for all content that comes across their lines. It would establish one of two senarios. A) they leave the traffic flow alone and thus avoid a ton in liability. B) they go into complete china lockdown mode and allow nothing even slightly questionable through. If B occurs, then there will eventually be enough resentment to eventually re focus on why telecom is a big monopoly. Right now average joe doesn't care. As long as average joe can watch Utube and porn, the status quo remains. This whole net neutrality issue wouldn't even exist if the free market wasn't botched/hijacked in this country.
