If things keep going the way they are someday JavaScript is gonna be optimized enough to get pretty close to C; specially functional scripts/parts (those with no side effects).

You can always use it things that are not critical for the game to work; and a good coder would make it in a separate class/container so most possible bugs are isolated as well.

In the chess example the most importan thing its not for the machine to win (or lose); is so the user feels its not the same game they already played; or -dare I say- think that the enemy is "learning"

This link[0] has an example; so basically almost anything in a game where it has to lookup massive amounts of data (e.g. logs), the example in the article is to quickly check if the user has already seen an item (in a game with thousands of items [e.g because those were pseudo-randomly generated, think RPGs]). But it's easy to think further applications: quickly check if the player already played this chess game before (all pieces where in the same position) to make sure the enemy does something smarter this time (because that time the enemy lost), and such.

And it's a play-word on "Guitar Pro", the famous software for musicians.

Yeah, trust companies like Equifax instead.

Of course, they take a hair from your head; and it was exactly the fake hair they had prepared, and then they take a drop of blood from your finger; and its the fake finger you prepared; then they check your iris and its the eye transplantation from the victim just like you prepared.

Yeah; of course this is what I mean; somehow I got down-voted to oblivion, f-uck you too hacker news community.

Synthesize it? You can change your DNA in the future? Like they are looking at the blood going out from your body and they can fake that too? Future is amazing.

DNA should be the only fully trusted proof of identity. To apply for a credit of any important amount (or any other important procedure) you should be required to be pinched to extract a drop of blood and determine if you are who you say you are according to the DNA database.

Your points 2 and 3 are actually integrated part of human nature and ending ads is not gonna help a bit; looking for a common enemy in order to start a mob by yourself (and therefore polarizing people) has always been a thing; it's just that now Internet allows absolutely anyone to do it, which includes anti-vaxxers flat earthists and millions of other intellectually decadent views.

Exactly; they are the gatekeepers of their iOS ecosystem but got no backslash like Microsoft did with Windows (circa 2001); so now they know they have a free pass and are trying to be the gatekeepers of the Web [for their users] as well.

maybe with the a bit of help from mirrors (reflecting the sun) the street level would look better.

Not really, it says: "Conocimiento efectivo por la demandada del contenido de los comentarios alojados por terceras personas en su web. Remisión de fax en el que se advierte de la existencia de estas comunicaciones lesivas al honor del demandante: Al rehusar este fax la demandada incumple su deber de diligencia."

Which translates: "Effective knowledge by the plaintiff of the stored messages by third-parties on his website. Fax receiving in which [the admin] was informed of the lascivious messages to the plaintiff. By refusing the FAX the defendant breaches his duty of diligence"

So this case was about sexual comments against a specific person for which the owner of the site refused to delete such comments; so little to nothing to do with censoring messages against the state.

There is fair amount of really smart people inside China (in tech scene and otherwise) that probably want out [of the country] but don't know a clear path for doing so, I think efforts should be made to that clear path; to work on companies outside China [where they don't fear for their life if someone made a anti-government comment on their site]. Due to censorship by the national dictatorship such online effort must be done using randomly generated domains (known by word of mouth), hard to censor texts (eg. text inside images that use weird fonts; as intro inside pirated comics/movies/videogames, private messages inside Alibaba and other platform that the Government won't shot down)

The engineering time dealing with that printer is probably more expensive than just buying a simpler/better one.

Ok, give me a job that pays 80K and I will send you the 20K without complaining.

is not about invalidation, its about priorities; have you seen any articles in the front page about those millions of Americans? Me neither; but dozens about how someone somewhere is winning 10% more than other someone and that the gender was clearly the reason.

I have seen similar differences in other programs as well (tail, head)

Just as an exercise; try to compile latest Node on cygwin and you will be welcomed by a ton of errors. Then try to compile it on linux subsystem (no issues arise)

Very often; every ruby/node/etc library that has at least one dependency that needs compilation ("native-extensions") can now run on Windows 10 without issues.

The linux subsystem for window is way faster than Cygwin (and any VM), I just tested grep on both platforms for a big text file (500MB) and cygwin-grep takes 2.630s while linux-subsytem-grep takes 0.395s

Conemu is where is at (for me at least), along with clink you have a lot of niceties bash has (reverse history search, etc)

Do the same Republicans did with ACA, give it another name (Obamacare) to lessen it in the eyes of the people, I suggest "Internet Censorship Act" or "Destroy Internet Act"

Most people will point out that is just as bad or even worse; because erring about how much any minority its in disadvantage its always better seen than erring against it.

I just wanna give a bit of historical context when this was written, back then these were acceptable ads on magazines: http://cdn2.independent.ie/incoming/article30576661.ece/128f... http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/536a53836da8110b266... http://flashbak.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p5hte68.jpg

Civil disobedience is never about products you don't like, its a tool when society doesn't work not when you don't like the inside of a store (analogy of store == website); you don't start throwing rocks at stores because when you entered you found some announcements you didn't like; that's not civil disobedience, that's just assault at private propriety and sociopath behavior.

After installed this extension silently attacks networks, and you think people is gonna care enough to jump to the next best one... because you think they are constantly reading about the moral basis of the blacklisted ad networks? ...right? You are more delusional than expected and I hope ad networks start pouring money into permanently banning users of this extension from all major websites.

It's way more like, what if I'm pouring red colorant to the rivers, and I know the colorants make absolutely no damage to the river but activists still try to destroy my business because they strongly believe so. So yeah, I find your counter-argument depressing as well; because its not about who is right or wrong but the one who believes themselves in control to determine being both the judge and the executioner.

No; this is like stealing the product. If you don't like a product you just don't buy it (meaning, don't go to their website), you don't go to the their publishing agency and throw rocks at their windows just because you don't agree with their profiting methods, it's really simple.
