AFAIK, capactive touch screens are permisable from a Jewish law standpoint. For example [1] which is a phone for use on shabbat and uses capactive buttons to avoid closing a circuit. [1] http://www.zomet.org.il/eng/?Cat

I'm a non-observant Jew and have several observant friends. I always joke with them that Jews are the first hackers, finding ways to circumvent their own religious laws. Some other clever hacks "exploited" by Jews over the ye

I propose a law of esoteric langauges: If there exists, in popular culture, a character with a comically limited vocabulary (e.g. Groot, The Librarian in Discworld) then there shall be a Brainfuck variant based on its vocabulary. (In our ex

These classifications are amazing but the fact that the first image in the article is classified as "a dog wearing a wide-brimmed hat" and not as "a chihuahua wearing a sombrero" is telling of how far we are from true un

A lot of the terminology here is different just for the sake of being different, I think. That, along with the feeling the author believes himself to be some sort of genius, kinda remind me of Urbit and TempleOS (google at your own peril).

This is really cool. Both referenced tools (PANDA and Volatility) seem awesome. I have some experience with IDA and Olly, but learning about new tools is always nice. Any resources you guys recommend on the subject of reversing?

This is really funny, but some points for improvement: 1. The editing UI is a bit shaky, for example - not handling links that great. 2. It doesn't replicate a site perfectly (This shows even on simple sites like HN) 3. If you click on

I'm skeptical about this. It is widely known that Israels nuclear program was assisted mainly by the French and the British, with some fissile material arriving from Argentina and Belgium. At the time (1960s) Israel was ready to produc

I wonder if high natural language aptitude translates to high programming language aptitude, that is, not the ability to write good code but rather to write code in diverse languages. It seems the skill set often associated with good progra

I get what he meant ("we're looking to create a diverse team") but the way he phrased it is just all kinds of wrong. Keeping a terse style doesn't justify saying silly things which I assume weren't meant literally.

Interesting idea, but I think that since different systems and projects have varying build systems and many projects can be built with different options, a more interesting project would be a cloud build system - point it a github page and

My intuition on this was similar - Pick the highest degree node and connect it to a node of the same degree if available or to one with the next-highest degree, preferring nodes with less connections over those with more. Repeat. Worked for

Awesome game, but you could make two imporvments: 1. Add a turn indicator or a "waiting for opponent" message of some sort. 2. Make it clear in-site that you can refresh and still get the same game.

I am not at all sure public shaming is the right strategy in dealing with these cases. Then again, I'm not sure what the right strategy is. I'd be happy if this could all be fixed at an early age via an enlightened education syste

Well, Unix and Windows systems are the most widely used OSes and Windows is, currently, of less interest to me. If It's C hands down in Unix systems, what are the use cases for D/Rust/Go?
