I personally think that the lifetime of the author is a bit odd, since it reduces the rewards towards those who are old or infirm. I agree the length is way too long though. Remember that Disney was a major factor in lobbying for the lon

It seems like this is analogous to "letters of marque" which the constitution gives the power to Congress to issue.

Any time you price in externalities that were formerly not priced in, you take something that everyone could afford to do and make it something only the rich can do.

Reducing congestion can increase car speeds, which can increase incidents.

A big part of the issue is styling: I was next to a GMC pickup on my bike the other day at a stoplight. When I stood up, the hood was roughly shoulder-height for me. They can easily make the hood at least a foot shorter (and probably more

Two of my neighbors were hit and killed by a car while walking on the sidewalk. The car was going in excess of 150km/h, hit the median, and swerved back, out of control into the sidewalk.

That's only for targeted attacks. For opportunistic attacks, this could help you identify those with short passwords and only attack them. This is a factor of N speedup where N is the pool of people you are interested in attacking.

by aidenn0 7mo ago
Not giving away the length is mainly an assistance to people with really short passwords. Knowing that someone has a 12 character password doesn't help attackers much, but knowing that someone has a 6 character password would be reall

Faster charging improves things in more EV-friendly areas as well. I live in Southern California, and if I take a trip on the weekend that is more than the 240mi. freeway range my Kona gets, I'm never worried about being stranded, but

Kona at least won't drive while charging.

Macros instead of inline functions is just archaic, not necessarily non-idiomatic. I'm not sure when inline declarations were added, but even well after that point macros were more reliable for getting inlining.

Well most of the local bindings are a single letter, so we gotta make sure booleans stand out!

The cambridge site linked from TFA appears to be hugged-to-death, but I found something that appears to be the same code, under an apache license[1] I modified that to work under SBCL (but with style-warnings), and fixed up the first exampl

They probably want to replace the header of calendar.l with something roughly like: (defpackage "CC4" (:use "COMMON-LISP") (:export :acre :advent :akan-day-name :akan-day-name-on-or-befor

1. I have seen Japanese people do approximately half of the things on the list. 2. The two listed as "serious" are related to Japanese funerary rites, and so are clearly culturally specific. 3. Several of the things listed are per

So other than being easier to use, cheaper to buy, lighter, and warmer: modern apparel isn't any better than old apparel.

systemd-tmpfiles bugs the heck out of me. It breaks so many applications for absolutely no good reason. A typical system of mine not running it gathers less than 1GiB per year of uptime in /tmp with disk sizes measured in TB. Even i

I use temporary-containers on firefox and they are a marvel for working with microsoft's stuff, which absolutely doesn't anticipate two accounts working on one browser. Of course "open in incognito mode" works for this a

I'm guessing from the title that it took some inspiration either from the film Total Recall or the short-story the film was based upon We Can Remember It for You Wholesale .

We know how to make dichroic prisms (Technicolor used them when filming, as did "3 CCD" digital cameras), but I imagine that to have a sufficiently narrow rejection band for the sodium-vapor prociess, you would need to be smart ab

It would seem to me to be relatively easy to build something like that if you're okay shooting with effectively a full stop less light (just split the image with a half-silvered reflector and use a dichroic filter to pass the sodium-va

Thanks for linking! His description of Dijkstra in that comment reminds me a lot of my few interactions with Doug Comer.
