Then I have an interesting tidbit for you: its sorting wasn't 100% correct. Should be fixed now though. http://www.envisage-project.eu/proving-android-java-and-pyth...

Interestingly, Timsort used to be broken [1]. They found that by trying to prove correctness. I recall Stijn de Gouw remarking that they wanted to have their proof artefact evaluated, but you'd need a seriously beefy machine to do so.

The 80s covered the end of the cold war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Iron curtain, so surely you're not including that decade. The 90s covered the fall and breakup of one of two world powers, and had a gulf war and

I read this as a reply to sibling comment ("People just want a reason to dig on Meta"). It works surprisingly well in that role.

Do note that the more the gate is kept, the stronger the incentive for cheating. Moreover, peer review is overrated. An experiment by the NIPS conference in 2014 found that ~60% of submissions are in the "gray middle" - not obviou

just curious, not planning... Would you accept novel translations of non-English classics? The policy suggests yes, but I imagine such a work would fall under US copyright (which the policy forbids).

I think gp and you probably see eye to eye, but gp has a problem with your phrasing. If the effect does not live up to scientific rigour, that (more or less) implies that the effect is roughly indistinguishable from randomness. If folks hav

Another comment stated that SO uses ads from someone else than Google, while the copy-paste sites use Google for ads. If true, that is clear monetary incentive to not go after this too hard.

Water cooler conversations weren't killed by binge watching, but that did remove a significant portion of possible conversations. Common things remaining are current events mostly (top of my head): gossip, politics, news, sports, work.

The agency would normally allocate 5% of the budget to management, but Isaac made the decision (since the budget was so small) to completely eliminate that. The budget ballooned to 6x its planned size and the management allocation was the

There's Slant in the collection, which seems similar... haven't played Shakashaka though, might be mistaking.

In The Netherlands, employees enjoy a reasonable level (much stronger than this scenario) of privacy even on company equipment [1]. That is: the company cannot randomly access an employee's mailbox. Of course, in case of employer-emplo

Frankly, as the OP stated, one reason to use a tor relay for direct traffic is to hide your traffic. A bit like a guy in a trench coat and fedora trying to look inconspicuous. It's not illegal, but it's also not surprising when su

I keep having to "forget about this site" for YouTube after watching (admittedly many) videos - every 2 months or so. The tell-tale sign is that videos stutter outrageously. It is surprisingly consistent - stutters / freezes

There are laws against it (in certain parts of the world at least). Of course, those laws do allow tracking in certain situations. Of course that makes enforcement harder - enforcers need to figure out if this is not an allowed case. Moreo

The article seems to argue from a vocational point of view. I don't know about the US, but around here, universities are not meant for vocational training. We've got another educational branch for that; universities are intended f

Good point! Simplified (trying to explain to myself), if light travelled slower in one direction than others, some objects would be less far away from us and each other and thus their gravitational effects would be different. Basically, our

A doctor whose patient lives on 19 years after removing an arrow from his head does not sound terrible at all, yet that doctor preceded gp's cutoff date by centuries. I'd say that's sufficiently clear disagreement.

You probably meant DES instead of AES. AES is from 2001, DES from mid-70s. (First published in '75, official standard in '77, according to Wikipedia).

This is from 1988, where the incredible upgrade cycle was about to start. Standards for consumer HW went in 4-6 years from 8086s to 486s, from Hercules/CGA to SVGA, from 5 1/4" 360 kb floppies to 400mb harddisks. I think the

One of the claims of the circle was that over half of it was water. So then your guesstimate can be lowered to less than 11% of land surface area.

You mean like a one-time pad? I'm sure the folks at NIST know about it; it is completely unbreakable and had been around for a while. Use is not really practical though, so typically reserved for very specific use cases.

I meant a remake of Mr. & Mrs Smith; of Twins, of "Stop or my mom will shoot"... basically of everything that turned a profit, however meager. Moreover, those remakes will be oblivious to what made the original a success. E.
