I don't know what you are using as a graph layout engine, but if it can export to a few standard layout formats (dot file, GraphML etc.) I would use this all the time.

I mean, I was being a bit facetious, but there are actual proposals for blockchain backed DNS. [1] https://github.com/okTurtles/dnschain

interesting - do you pronounce qiuntuple, octuple, etc. the same way?
155.
by achr2 10y ago
huh, interesting. Thanks.

The girl demoing VS 2017 pronounces tuple as 'TWO-pull'. That can't be right, is it?

WPF has a lot of flaws, but it is definitely still the most relevant platform for standard desktop applications (LOB, enterprise, etc.).

I genuinely don't see a difference between looking up an unknown timezone, and looking up a 'part of day offset'. As it stands I need to look up an overseas timezone and then figure out the offset from my timezone. With a uni

Not for supercaps, most have a breakdown voltage below 5 V.

Great comment! Borda certainly has flaws, but it seems there are variants that can address some of them (I like the Nanson method). I am Canadian, where a ranked system is more ideal (but not implemented yet). With Nanson it seems that the

Personally I would be very happy if Canada's parliament realizes that cooperative minority governance should be the norm and is the healthiest option. I am not sure which part of the video you were looking at where Strawberry would hav

That's not how ranked voting should work - why would you look at pairs individually? You can simply take the average rank of all flavours and be done (in which case Vanilla wins definitively). Also, most party systems tend to clump tog

If my toaster exposed its wires and buttons to the outside world, there would certainly be added measures to prevent malicious usage.

Good point. From what I've heard, many hospitals have already gone this route internally with automated drug dispensers. Publicly, this might take a lot longer since there is an ageing population that is simultaneously more reliant on

Restrictions are easy to push too far, but a basic safety checklist that includes things like factory randomised logins shouldn't be too heavy handed.

Especially for seemingly basic image processing. The type of decision making that decides to design new rack mounting options for the worst price to performance hardware available is mind boggling.

Anaesthesiologist seems like one of the first doctors that could be entirely replaced with a robotic system. They are basically there to monitor and asses multiple vital factors, which seems entirely appropriate for a control system.

My toaster has to be certified that it meets certain minimum safety standards. It really seems that IoT and safety critical software/firmware should be required to pass a similar (bare minimum) certification.

I definitely agree with you, my comment was simply to show that there are a lot of people who use Big-O as a metric at a level where it shouldn't be applied.
170.
by achr2 10y ago
The thing I always run into when discussing big-O are people (good programmers even) who think all O(x) algorithms have the same efficiency. I find it very frustrating when someone says my streamlined O(N) algo with 5 operations has the sam

This is definitely the case here, many libraries that are certainly not all that awesome, or even maintained.

This game would be lauded as one of the greats if each player was given a home planet where they could configure the flora and fauna as they see fit.

I have wondered for a while how we can be certain that looking so deeply into the distant (meaning past) universe gives an accurate picture. Wouldn't there be many compounding effects, such as gravitational lensing combined with expans

A really sneaky method would be to create a USB suppository, that looked like a large USB key but would leave the active part inserted inside the socket after the target pulls out the seemingly defective key.

It's definitely more in the first category, and the psychology behind watching shows vs movies: 1) We live in a multitasking world where people are half watching netflix and half on their phone. TV plots typically develop in smaller ch

Can the tool generate a diagram from existing source code? Obviously it would likely require additional input for internal 'headings'. And can the diagrams be automatically 'collapsed' into simpler flow charts? I have tw

Are there any real-time operating systems out there currently that both run on modern hardware (maybe a raspberry Pi) and offer a simple programming option (not necessarily Basic, but something similarly approachable)?

by achr2 10y ago
None of that will happen, what might happen is better technology, like having to take a photo of the delivery address that gets OCRed and compared before the package is confirmed as delivered.

I think it's a spinning plane with a projector beneath. Their limitation is in the DLP projector's refresh rate. Seems they also may have extra limitations in colour space, since most DLP projectors use a rotating colour wheel.
