Many parts of computer science are literally nothing but pure wrangling of thought with logic. Fighting bias systematically is a major part of the trade. Computer Science is the worst named discipline. Many times when reading code it's

What makes RISC-V special here? You speak as if RISC-V has some fundamental differences that invalidates old limitations that keep us trapped. Why is this the case? I'm very curious, and don't understand. Also, why does preprocess

Back in the day we had admins and communities of people. You'd get to know people more and establish trust. You could have registered brackets and independent tournaments with manual administration and banning for cheaters. It worked p

Very cool attack, and easy to read write up. I have one basic question: It was mentioned that attacking the encryption was skipped in favor of using a debugger. Was this debugger applied to the WhatsApp Web app? Or was the debugger deployed

Thanks for the suggestion, two episodes in so far, and it's really good.

There's a good documentary called "The Secret Life of Chaos" that has a fairly cool overview of this concept. Though it's just the beginning of a very deep rabbit hole, possibly unending. Here is a link: https:/&#x

Tangent, but I just finished a wiki rabbit hole from this link you provided, very interesting read, but also found out that there is one species of millipede that actually has 1000+ legs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E

I just noticed that they did this to me. Can I dispute this transaction? I tried Photoshop for some funeral photos, but I didn't end up using it. I forgot to cancel the free trial because I was dealing with burial stuff. I noticed the

I can see highly detailed visions of objects, however they tend to change in subtle ways the more I look at them, and at the edges of the image it tends to be foggy. If I try to expand my attention with more details around the edges, the im

I'd like to know too. I wonder if they have something like CERN for open data and streaming: https://opendata.cern.ch/

Those links say 70% of all security bugs, but since my bc/dc does not have the ! command (to spawn processes) and only reads files, not writes them (except stdout), it’s hard to actually turn a memory safety issue into a security

I did it, I took the plunge and just bought a dev board. You are definitely right on with regard to the custom hardware, but I still want want to experiment with it, and I'm pretty sure there will be good niches for such flexibility&#x

GreenArrays have really cool chip that boasts "the most power efficient per instruction executed" when they released it. On the order of picojoules per cycle IIRC. The chip has 144 independent computers (not processors -> compu

That really sounds like it would be the identity. If dividing by nothing is congruent with no operation, then the original set, unmodified should be returned.

I've thought a lot about this as well, and I'm convinced it's a really great way forward assuming the model can have some inference of the search space of the queries that it's going to run. It's too easy to fall in

It's the learning curve. There is a very DIY approach with composition, with lots of library choices. This makes it tough for beginners and intermediate programmers to jump right in and be productive. That plus functional programming,

Your idea interests me. I think it's related to the Plank Scale, but what you're talking about would possibly be a "Plank Precision"? I'm having a hard time seeing if this is fundamentally the same thing as the Plan

Why dishonorable? His work is pretty interesting to me: graph taxonomy of all possible rules and rules spaces (what Wolfram calls the Ruliad) seems like a very natural extension of Computer science and Analysis.

Bottom line is: if it's the wrong octave it's the wrong note. Recommendation: add a 4th color for correct note, wrong octave. Err on the side of just making it wrong. Another recommendation: make an easy mode in a single octave fo

This is the part that fascinates me about Code Blocks so much. Is it like an extra break or return statement at the end of it that bails out of the context of whatever method it's running in? Or does it actually return back to the orig

That makes sense, but isn't the Ruby &block evaluated dynamically? Lisp macros are expanded at compile time. From my limited understanding this would seem like a dynamic, run time, Lisp macro. But I don't know if the &bloc

Doesn't Clojure support this kind of variadic pass through? Admittedly it's a bit more complicated than Ruby's syntax, which I find to be a bit ironic. I'm not sure if Clojure has something equivalent to &block... I

`car` (Contents of Address part of Register) and `cdr` (Contents of Decrement part of Register) are historical terms from the IBM 704, used in LISP. They're legacy from early computing, not academic jargon.
