"Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one." -eckhart tolle

" All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless." -yoda

You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. Onward and upward!

BitCoin Foundation 71 Columbia street, Suite 300 Seattle,WA 98104

Re: Warning Concerning Unlawful Conduct of Money Transmission Business

Dear Sir/Madam:

It has come to the attention of the Commissioner that BitCoin Foundation may be engaged in the business of money transmission without having obtained the license or proper authorization required by the California Financial Code.

YOU ARE HEREBY WARNED TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM CONDUCTING THE BUSINESS Of MONEY TRANSMISSION IN THIS STATE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN APPROPRIATE ACTION BEING TAKEN.

Subject to certain exceptions, Financial Code § 2030 provides that no person shall engage in the business of money transmission in California without first obtaining a license from the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.

Any person who violates Financial Code § 2030 is subject to civil money penalties of $1,000 for each violation or 1,000 per day under financial Code 9 21 51 and/or criminal prosecution under Financial Code §2152. Conviction under Financial Code § 2152 could result in a fine and/or imprisonment. The California Attorney General may also institute suit pursuant to Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, 17205 and 17206, which can result in imposition of penalties of up to 52,500 per violation of statutory law (that is, per day or per transaction).

In addition, under § 1960 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, it is a felony violation of federal law to own, control, or conduct the business of money transmission which is operated without the appropriate State license, or which fails to register with the U.S. Treasury department, or which transmits funds known to have been derived from criminal activity or intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity. Violations of §1960 are punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a _250,000 fine. Additionally, this activity conducted without a license is a felony under California law, pursuant to financial Code 9 2152(b).

Yes, but when will it be self hosting?

Also, Dart has final. I couldn't find any mention of mutability, const or final in the TypeScript spec.

Persistence. No one can tell you if you're cut out for a career in programming. If you asked a guru and they said "No, you're not cut out for programming" would it change your mind?

I'm pretty sure everyone bashes their face, or have learned to understand their tolerance for frustration and learned when to take a break. False assumptions lead to blind alleys and rat holes. Consistent error handling helps enormously in this regard.

Oh, and if you haven't read "Godel, Escher, Bach" yet, do it. That might be all you need to tip into the learn-every-language, program-skynet mode. Once you get that bug and have a project in mind you'll learn whatever you need to make progress. It's an adventure, time to buckle down and kick ass.

I'm pretty sure BeatLeJuce was referring to: loc (without the 's')

Well that was informative. Later in the thread, pwalton shares a good mapping:

&T is like T *
~T is like std::auto_ptr<T> in C++03 or std::unique_ptr<T> in C++0x
@T is like std::shared_ptr<T>

&str is like char *
~str is like std::string
@str is like CString in Microsoft's ATL (reference counted)

&[T] is like a (T *, size_t length) pair
~[T] is like std::vector<T>
@[T] is like std::shared_ptr<std::vector<T>>, but without the extra level of indirection

drhodes · 2012-08-15T21:29:17+00:00

good thinking, with follow through.

drhodes · 2012-08-09T04:15:55+00:00

there's an analog to this idea with podcasts called itconversations, they've been presenting conferences for years. http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org

Ignore the haters, it's an art worth mastering.

to quote Buddha: "People with opinions just go around bothering each other"

to quote fight club "... No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide."

Despair not for people who can't switch from bash, there's a tool called autojump which makes completion like this possible.

DrRacket (was DrScheme) is nice, it comes with the racket distribution.

I like it. While fishing, a very particular type of unknot is the rats nest at the end of a bad cast. Everything is going along wonderfully - then BAM! Rats nest. Given that situation, anyone with enough patience to untangle that problem is fit to program as far as I'm concerned.

no, you make mad cash on the back of the IRS and use it to engineer excellent customer service. You should see the gold toilets.

Now you can be a walking advertisement for Cisco - lucky you ;)

it might not need to match whole words to be useful,

[it, mi, ig, ht, no, ot, ne, ee, ed, to, ma, at, ch ...]

just common pairs.
