I believe that the 'using namespace <xxx>;' is discouraged now-a-days.

I believe the more preferred way is to be explicit by 'using std::cout;' for each and every function you want to "shorten/cleanup"

Are Russia + South Pacific + Africa all lumped together, or is my colourblindness acting up on me again?

Does the article give full system prices? Perhaps in my rush to the graphs I missed them.

I'm interested to know the price:performance comparison of the systems (wrt kernel compilation time)

hi

I've only met one transgender person. She was basically a dude wearing lipstick and high heeled boots. She was really nice, and I wanted to use her preferred pronouns, but it's really difficult to do so.

> I take issue with being held to a standard of somehow needing to "know" that ahead of time, and respect it, with no effort on the part of the woman in question.

I'd like to postulate that it's not just ahead of time. It's really hard to change your usage of he to she or him to her, when you are visually presented with a man. The brain doesn't easily change, so don't get mad when it doesn't change as fast as you want.

Do you have to mine for proof of stake, or is simply owning the underlying asset enough to "generate interest on the investment?"

> it does it proportionally to the amount of currency you have saved.

Doesn't this have an inherent disincentive to new people joining and using the network? Sorta like the poor stay poor, the rich get rich?

I have a hard time understanding proof of stake. I haven't found any discussions that make sense to me.

Do you have any good easy to understand descriptions of proof of stake you could recommend to a layman like me?

Members of congress aren't pro "defend yourself with guns," they are pro "get votes of people who are pro defend yourself with guns."

> if you can't say "I love you", it is not a language to me.

void declareEmotion( bool isInLoveWith ) { if( isInLoveWith ) { printf("I love you\n"); else printf("I'm sorry, this isn't working out...\n"); } }

I take diabetes medication (Janumet XR- Slow release Metformin based medication).

I consume approx 40 net carbohydrates a day, and 2000 total calories a day. My fitbit says I get 500-700 calories of exercise a day.

I've lowered my HbA1C from 9.3 in december to 5.0 in March. I've lost 37lbs since december.

Define "easily" as used in this context. Easy is a product of whom your enemy is.

Is your enemy your ISP? If that's the case, I don't think it's "easy" for them; they would have to pay Digital Ocean or Amazon to get your data, and probably isn't really that valuable to them.

Is your enemy the MPAA? If that's the case, I still don't think it's particularly "easy" for them. Unless you are a MAJOR pirate distributor, the extra effort(money) to track you down isn't worth it.

Is your enemy the NSA or the FBI? If that's the case, then yes, it's trivially easy for them to Subpoena digital ocean or amazon to get your data, but similarly they can use techniques on PIA to get your data too.

In the end, it comes down to whom you trust with your data. And whether you want a managed VPN service, or are willing to put up with the inherent problems of maintaining your own system. will PIA sell your surfing habits to advertisers, will DO sell your surfing habits to advertisers? Who gives faster speeds?
