Sincere question: With the advent of word processing (and similar technologies), many typists lost their jobs. If you lived in those days, what would you have proposed to protect them?

Argument from uncertainty is not a good way to reason about this. I could equally ask: "Who knows how many attackers learned about this vulnerability from this disclosure, and used it before the distributions fixed it?"

So if I found a vulnerability that lets hackers withdraw withdraw all the money in your account without a trail on where the money went, you'd be fine with them disclosing it to the public at the same time as the bank learns about it

Some of the plots would have been much more helpful if instead of absolute value in seconds, the y-axis were the multiplier w.r.t binary search (and eyeballing suggests a relatively constant multiplier). Obviously, this isn't changing

On the flip side, had it not migrated, it wouldn't have shown up on HN today and I would never have heard of Bookstack :-)

No - It likely means that the proof was meandering, and had lots of additional pointless steps.

Turning my computer took a few minutes. It would do the RAM check (all 640K of it), at a fairly slow pace.

I was looking back to why I enjoyed computing so much more in the 80's and 90's compared to now, and of the many reasons, one of them was "No multitasking". Or even "little multitasking" because while Windows h

If the commenter was struggling with the submission, he likely will struggle with most real analysis textbooks (most of which are terser).

Fundamental here doesn't mean "basic". It means "one of the most important theorems in calculus". If you want to get into calculus, I strongly recommend you ensure you're adept at algebra.

It's completely open source, but is under heavy continual development (likely a lot of AI coding). On launch, it checks for updates and autoupdates.

I don't know why this keeps coming up. This has always been the least reliable way to know the cutoff date (and indeed, it may well have been trained on sites with comments like these!) Just ask it about an event that happened shortly

On the flip side, the current price is massively high (record high), and practically nothing has changed at the company. The Foundry lost over $2B this quarter. If it keeps losing that much, they're on track to lose $8B this year. Wh

By default, if you push to main/master, it marks those commits as immutable (you can still force change). You can configure this to other branches. But ... is it really that different from git? You can always rewrite history in git, co
