Isn't that a bit similar to what debuggers typically do when you ask them to attach to a given process?

The way I am picturing it is that of hooks on a chain lying just below the surface that can be rushed back towards a crane, pulling any ship who crosses the line. Looking at a map, the placement of such a line is obvious: https:/&#x2F

I keep being amazed by all the purported inventions of Archimedes. And disappointed by the hubris of modern engineers who think that it should only take a handful of interns and an afternoon to reproduce what would have been at the time cut

Governments are long overdue a good authentication system. Note that passports provide passable ones but not everyone has a passport. If you desire an optional government-enforced ID scheme, Estonia provides some even to non-resident. You n

Honestly at 4.5m that's a marginal project that is unlikely to be used anywhere seriously. And the EU answers makes it clear it will never take decisions alone. You know, there has been a bit weird push by brexit promoters for "fr

Honestly I am pretty sure there must be Japanese ones. Seeing how little of English Japanese programmers speak, there must surely be one. EDIT: Of course there is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolittle_(programming_lan

Even when you will be able to have a 100% coherent and deep discussion with an AI over a niche technical domain, there will be people to pretend that the AI "fakes" it. Systems like GPT-2, incredibly (I used to be a skeptic of a p

Re safety: I was pointed out that the dangers of hydrogen are often exaggerated. Hydrogen is flammable, not explosive. It is an oxygen-hydrogen mix that is explosive. It is probably slightly safer than fuel due to the fact that while fuel w

I think there is a difference between obeying Chinese censorship in China (which tech companies do routinely even if Google resisted valiantly at first) and helping China spread its censorship oversea (which is what the Blizz and NBA things

It is our role to align morality and profits. Censoring speech should make them lose more money than disobeying China. Starcraft 1 was the first game I bought. I love their games. I think this will make me boycott there for at least 5 or 10

Never trust private companies to not screw you out. Small companies are generally more trustworthy, until they come to a position of dominance, where they are just there to squeeze.

I remember a short-story where a cat learns to pilot a customized glider. It has always made me wonder about the plausibility of it. Were I not allergic to cat, I would probably have built a customized controller for a roomba and see if the

Yet, there is a lot of incentives to allow importing into your social net. Right now, if only facebook was authorizing scrapping instead of actively fighting it, even in the absence of a clear documented API, people would be writing bridges

Yet this is a fight worth fighting. I must say it is great that they are confined to rather obscure parts of the wikipedia whereas they could be on pages about much more important or current events. And I must say, HOGD is a page where I wo

All data should be exportable in a single file in a documented format with no encryption, no patents, no copyright or trademark claims attached to it. I think this would solve all problems. An open standard would quickly appear and every pl

But more expensive. However engineers estimate that an appropriate rail gun would have 10 times the range of an average drone so would cover a wider area.

I am wondering, what is the quid pro quo here. I don't like most of these people, but they don't ring to me like the kind of people who could be bribed with a seat at a prestigious university's board.

It is true: free players are a resource that makes the game better for players who are ready to pay for the cosmetic add-ons they give. I DO like the game though. I feel it is becoming something like chess that is its own thing. I may end u
