Especially with a view like this at a conference like this. By attempting to deny him a platform at an event which is often based on a meritocracy (like so much of hacker culture) they are admitting his position might have merit and hence m

But there isn't, a blind selection process ended up selecting somebody that social justice deems as worthy of censorship. Hence free speech (blind selection of ideas on their merits - regardless of who it is) vs. social justice (ostrac

I think the limited key space is a large part of the answer, 46 lopsided choices is easier to learn about than 256 equally distributed choices. The smaller word width probably makes the memory requirements reasonable.

I think, since it's a database of hashes, it's non-reversible. Access to the database gives you nothing but a way to detect the files, and even if a file happens to have the same hash (which would be exceedingly rare) it's ea

It looks like the implementors failed to follow the recommended usage and design (and indeed common sense) of the algorithm: * They used 16 bit math instead of 32 bit math (with, I'm assuming, a 32 bit output size rather than the recom

I prefer `spdlog` which comes with the `fmt` library which is a (type safe) implementation of python/C# style string formatters. However I do like the ability to provide arbitrary additional operators provided by this system.

This whole thing is exactly my problem with duct-tape as a service. Stuff a Huginn docker container (FOSS IFTTT) on your own server and bam, personal duct-tape.

They are actually pretty close to the FoV limit that the display technology they are using can provide. Magic Leap is going to have the same problem unless they have found a new technology since their original hints. Also long term use will

Free beer. They even try a switch-a-roo by putting a super positive spin on "free" and then doing a "(as in free beer!)".

True, but it's the concentration of wealth that's the problem. If the CEO and investors gave a fair portion of the wealth they created to their workers (see Walmart) or reinvested it into the company or other companies, then there

Well they are ignoring about 180 possible signals the gate could send during any dialing sequence. I assume one of them would warn about that.

Well factorio is actually following the minecraft design. They have a bunch of things they want to add, but due to the complexity of the game it takes time to get there. Like in minecraft where they kept adding blocks until they were like &

I think the point is that if the hierarchy is complex enough that you have to think about it it's simple enough to figure. The cases presented are obviously over complex to describe the behavior.

His dev blog on The Witness also has some technical articles by him that show he's quite capable. It is a custom engine after all, architected mostly by him, with a few other programmers. For example: http://the-witness.net&

UBI is often described as a negative income tax for a reason. You don't send those people the money, you give them a tax credit for the money.

Basic income creates a more robust consumer base with fewer workers, allowing you to get better jobs from your willingness to work. You won't have to work harder, your wages will go up because you are willing to work at all. Also you w
