Correct. math/rand/v2 isn't optimal, but it's not an immediate catastrophic flaw to use it when you should have used crypto/rand any more. From the article: > It’s still better to use crypto/rand, because t

Sure, you can define the reference frames to allow any orbit on any body. Mars landers & orbiters have slightly different time due to general & special relativity than Earth's surface, and also don't need Earth days/m

Coffee popsicles are easy to make. Or put coffee in an ice cube tray, freeze it, & use it instead of water ice when making a regular "iced" coffee. No dilution as the ice melts!

My favorite confusing street I've dealt with is Boulevard in Hartford, CT[1]. Often abbreviated, so addresses like "1600 Blvd" are common. And of course there are streets where "boulevard" is the last word in the na

A HWRNG is not necessarily a TRNG. As you say, a TRNG has one bit of entropy per bit of output. There's no way to prove this property is even possible in this physical universe, since it requires perfect unpredictability. Urandom is a

Ferrous Systems made defmt[1] for Rust. The linked design page details the inner workings. One trick is that even the format string is packed into a lookup table . They're all stored in a lookup table in a special .elf section, and on

FIPS is terrible, except that sometimes if you shout "FIPS 140 compliance for US gov contracts" enough into the corporate hierarchy you eventually get the budget to implement any security whatsoever, even though it's just FI

This is different from Systemd how? You can't use any GNU project without depending on GNU libc (except glibc itself, trivially).
1031.
by SAI_Peregrinus 3y ago
Do you also think the GNU project shouldn't exist? If not, what's the difference?
1032.
by SAI_Peregrinus 3y ago
GNU didn't. Why should Systemd?
1033.
by SAI_Peregrinus 3y ago
I like to compare Systemd to GNU. Pretty similar scale, similar "take over the world" levels of adoption in Linux (GNU's libc is in nearly everything , all the other GNU tools are ridiculously common), adds lots of attack su

Aereo tried essentially this, with thousands of TV antennas for their "broadcast TV over the internet" scheme. They lost, and no longer exist.

Also the keyboard wasn't.stuck with QWERTY! You could swap keyboards. You could have big numbers when typing phone numbers, and letters when texting. You could type Californian street names correctly! Write math! Etc.

Or the headset can include two separate Bluetooth endpoints and an internal mixer. AFAIK this is what SteelSeries does in their headsets.

They don't handle paging well, they don't handle memory-mapped files well, they don't handle shared libraries well... Memory reporting tools are generally crap for non-experts, and pretty poor even for experts.

The barycenter of the Earth-Luna system is (currently) entirely within the Earth. So Luna is a moon. Once it's outside the radius of Earth, then it'd be a double-planet system (or a double dwarf-planet system if that nomenclature

Until you try to write an optimizing compiler, run into provenance, and find that they're actually complicated (though not for the reasons beginners think they're complicated).

Do the other emulsifiers from the study in this article contain PUFAs? If not, then then there's probably some other cause. Maybe PUFAs from other sources + emulsifiers, maybe something else entirely. So to the delight of the researche

The study was on a few emulsifiers used as food additives, not on all food emulsifiers. I wonder if egg yolks are correlated to increased diabetes risk, they're a common emulsifier (in mayonnaise, hollandaise, carbonara, custard, etc.)

Think of them as "node metrics". 1.4 node metrics, not nanometers. They haven't referred to any distance in years, so make up your favorite backronym. Å can be Åwesomes, so 1.4 node metrics = 14 Åwesomes. Embrace nonsense, th
