Net neutrality is a principle which is there with or without The Open Internet Order and was there since the beginning of the Internet. How and when the principle of net neutrality is enforced is another matter.

Do you mean a separate project called "Lua Stack" or just the Lua stack?

I do that for my own game engine. Wrote a very thin layer in C (C99 to be exact) that has all the low-level stuff, tight loops and things that require to be data-oriented. I do everything else on top in Lua. I use libclang to automatically create the Lua bindings from the C code using annotation attributes (X is just a macro around `__attribute__(())`), for example when using `X(ADD) xvector2_t xvector2_add(const xvector2_t a, const xvector2_t b)` it will make sure that this function is called when using the `+` symbol between 2d vectors in Lua. When needed (for performance) I can always move things from Lua to C.

Even Apple uses Lua on IOS according to the following tweet: https://mobile.twitter.com/_inside/status/102617383252726579...

They are only concerned with creating a platform for sharing videos with the mentioned advantages. The privacy part is a separate concern not to force people into connecting to the federated network in only one way. Someone can always create / use a client that has Tor or VPN built-in.

A texel is a element of a texture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(graphics)

Why do people call a textured 3D cube on a grid a voxel (Minecraft), but do not call a textured 2D tile on a grid a pixel?

Many people have no problem using libui. There are even many bindings available that people use some of which have documentation. I was able to start using libui instantly, but mostly because I already have experience using other GUI libraries.

People that know C should be able to read and understand the interface file at:

https://github.com/andlabs/libui/blob/master/ui.h

The function / variable names are informative enough. There are examples which should get you started at:

https://github.com/andlabs/libui/tree/master/examples

Even if they would add comments to the interface files (that may be used to generate docs), it will not add much value if it will become as follows:

  // Set window title. First argument should be the window and the second the title as a string
  uiWindowSetTitle(uiWindow *w, const char *title);

What I think is more important is adding tests etc. Tests can then also serve as a kind of documentation.

Note that this is based on experimental functionality in NodeJS. Similar functionality had been inside NodeJS before and was removed. This is mostly used internally for other stuff.

This is similar to dynamic scoping.

In the Netherlands the average salary for a senior developer is 40.000$ (~24.000 after taxes) while the cost of living is not that much different from the UK and US, may be except for healthcare. What exactly justifies the difference?

According to (and many others): https://mobile.twitter.com/sLabunsky/status/9356418670976491...

"To raise market cap. by 5B, you basically need to raise price by ~3% (%_delta = [(cap_delta / btc_count + current_price) / current_price - 1] * 100%). The total usd amount to change price by desired delta is pretty small, for BTC it is usually around 8M for 1% (easy to check)"

Indeed. When that happens the people that did not exchange their USDT for BTC on time, while BTC and other cryptocoins are crashing as well, will be the ones holding a worthless USDT not backed by actual dollars.

And he also said the following:

Be careful. There is evidence that certain parties are issuing fake dollars called USDT / Tether from which they buy cryptocoins (incl. BTC) to artificially increase the price:

Make sure you are able to get out on time if needed. Investigate and decide for yourself. There is a lot of censoring and vote manipulation going on. I am not going to point fingers, but just that you are aware.

If there is a need for "repeated or lengthy use of general anesthetic" on infants there is usually already something wrong which could attribute to the said symptoms as well. It would be crazy to not use anesthesia on young children based on this warning, as shock (Which usually happens when operated on without anesthetics and the reason the child is silent during and a while after the operation) may cause worse damage.

Is it really that dangerous?

"Key medical objections to infant anesthesia - that it was (a) unnecessary and (b) dangerous - were resolved by the brilliant research of Kanwal Anand and colleagues at Oxford from 1985 to 1987. Making precise measurements of infant reactions to surgery, they proved that the babies experienced pain, needed and tolerated anesthesia well, and had probably been dying of metabolic and endocrine shock following unanesthetized operations."

I discovered last year that people are actually promoting this. I've been attacked by people because I do not agree with late-term (for no medical reason) and after-birth abortion:

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/human_natur...

It is almost in the same line of thinking that infants are not capable of feeling pain and why some operations on them were done without anesthesia:

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/17/opinion/l-why-infant-surge...

I believe some operations on infants are still being done without it:

http://gizmodo.com/why-are-so-many-newborns-still-being-deni...

"to this day, many procedures are performed on newborns without the benefit of analgesics. That’s largely because of an enduring misconception in the medical community that newborns don’t feel pain like adults."

I have both the Vive and the Rift (new SKU) at the moment. In my case:

- Both my Vive and my Rift have visible mura not being corrected by the mura correction. The Vive has a more uniform mura, but darker scenes (even grey ones) are impossible to play. This got worse after an update last November. My Rift shows the following pattern: https://imgur.com/a/fG2F6. Disabling SPUD works but creates many other issues like ghosting / black smear.

- Everything on my Rift is blurry and I cannot read any text at all. Even text that is close. I adjusted the IPD, how I wear it, increasing supersampling etc. all without success. I have a constant feeling as if my eyes are crossed. I can watch Miyubi on the Vive, but not on my Rift.

- The new Rift foam causes pupil swim for me because my eyes are closer to the lens. I can also see the borders of the screen even in the middle.

- I got the new Rift bundle, but many demos assume you have the remote which is not inside the box anymore. For me the Touch controllers are too much of a hassle to put on only to control a movie. I do not seem to be able to wear the Touch controllers like is shown in the videos. May be my hands are too small.

- I prefer the new Vive deluxe headstrap over the Rift's headstrap, but I think the attached audio headset of the Rift is better. I have a lot of trouble putting the Rift on. The pulling while holding the HMD or putting the back part of the headstrap on first and then pulling the HMD over my face. I really like the Vive's deluxe headstrap tighten wheel more.

- The Vive has a brighter image. My Rift's image is too dark for my taste.

You already tried that? I do not find it painful to set up.

I remember this was also the conclusion of the documentary "Hjernevask". I linked to it yesterday at:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15014895

Men and women living in richer and mostly western countries have the luxury to choose the jobs they are attracted to even if that attraction is to some extent based on biological factors and not societal or economic factors.

The following documentary covered it and according to them it is not because bright girls are pushed to "girly" fields:

Also watch the other episodes at:

It also covers why women in for example India and the Middle-East are more into computer science.

This used to happen to me as well. Every new place I started, at the beginning it was fine, but after while I started to feel uncomfortable with some of the people and feel like not belonging to the group anymore.

What fixed it for me:

- Changing jobs also getting a higher salary / more to say over other people.

- Challenging myself to just do the things I fear. Just walk through that section, just do it, overcome it. No need to talk. Just walk there, look out of the window if there is one there with your coffee in your hand. Relax.

- Not putting too much energy into talking to people if not needed. Better to talk less than too much.

- Socializing more outside of my job to become more certain of myself. No need to go to disco clubs or bars, even going to hackatons and meeting new people will help.

- Learn to represent myself better and being aware of my looks (ask friends or family to help).

- Not taking things too personally.

Exactly this and I feel it is getting worse. People are increasingly getting into IT/ICT because of the job security and the money it brings, not really out of passion anymore. This also attracts certain kind of personalities I cannot really get along with.

I am just lucky that people respect me because of my 20+ years of professional experience. The office is really like a battlefield sometimes and I learned not to take things personally.

Not only that, but many men suffer(ed) from these kind of biases / prejudices as well. For example macspoofing's post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14988299

I had the same experience. Being into computers used to be "uncool".

Tech becoming more accepted by the general people is a pretty recent thing.

Because the spoofing party already knows what is going to happen as soon as you react to such an order, even by using a bot, you are already too late. Most bitcoin exchanges are not very quick, so you can expect a latency of about several seconds which is too long to even anticipate on this.

What about the following CRISPR patent problem?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jacobsherkow/2017/02/21/how-muc...

http://www.nature.com/news/why-the-crispr-patent-verdict-isn...

This could discourage smaller companies from picking it up (ex. to build upon it, from which in the long run everyone will profit, see open-source) and make CRISPR-based treatments more expensive / unavailable (ex. large companies owning the patents artificially inflating the price, may be even more than the old technology it replaces).

Thank you for the explanation.

As I keep getting downvoted. Can you explain, as English is not my native language, why being pro-something also implies that the people undergoing that something are liking it?

If someone is pro-war, does that imply that the people that are part of the war are liking it?

Sorry I meant "pro-choice" and I agree with what you say. I never wanted to say that abortion is a good thing or there are people that want this.

What I wanted to say is that there are not just 2 sides:

pro-choice: agreeing with any form of abortion (note: I am not saying people want it)

pro-life: against any form of abortion

By many people that are pro-abortion. The following way of thinking seems to be norm nowadays: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_either_with_us,_or_...

I think the term "pro-life" is being abused to put labels on people who are just against the points I mentioned. These people are not necessarily "anti-abortion".
