Interesting, but not practical. All real furniture movers would make use of the third dimension. The difficulty of extending the definition to 3 dimensions is that the restriction to 2 separates two classes of constraint: being able to move

It makes sense. I'm a little surprised that they'd do the day to day reconciliation from it but I suppose if you had to write the code to decode them anyway for some exceptional purpose, you might as well use it day to day as well

Replying here as your other question is at max thread depth: A non virtualized Linux install isn't more locked in than a docker install, as for a bare metal server you are choosing your own OS. I have done the docker thing on a bare me

This kind of algorithm needs to be better known. For example, the original DD algorithm can be used to automatically minimise the set of cloud permissions for a service (from a given set) (A PoC is aws-policy-minimize here: https:/&#x

As a non geologist, what's the significance of the gases starting to come from near-surface fluids rather than deep magma? Naively, I would be more worried about the magma as that's what comes up in an eruption. But they seem to

Cool, but needs a VPS. A simpler approach is to load balance/ fail over individual TCP/UDP flows, eg using mwan3 I'm hoping that with QUIC, there will be a way to use it's migration feature to load balance more accuratel
