The difference is - the fairy tales are presented as fiction. The stories adults tell you to make you behave are presented as reality. It's the difference between reading your kids Smurfs and Bible (if you're Christian). I remembe

I live in Poland (so, the culture is mostly western european with some eastern influences), I was a child in 80s/90s, and my grandma would tell us pretty awful stories to make us behave (looking at them back now they were awful for man

It's not capitalism, half the world has capitalism and much saner health systems. It's some kind of extremism.

How is it possible that reasonable people are OK with this kind of bullshit healthcare policy?

Completely agree. I regulary post on a forum about urban architecture. There's a section with people posting photos from their walks through their city. Basically google street view with some text commentary in an old-style phpbb forum

Thanks. It's crazy to me that I've had graph theory on university, and many graph algorithms, and I don't remember ever hearing that multiplicating adjacency matrices have this properties. Maybe I just forgot about it. It wou

This seems related to the way graphs are often implement in code - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_matrix Just in that case you can start with any graph, not necessarily bipartite, so you don't divide vert

I create my passwords from long, easy-to-remember sentences that I sample to be like 15-25 characters long with capitalization and special characters added in a pattern. Makes it easy to remember the password without muscle memory.

You just spell your password in your mind and when the character is needed you press the key, when it's not needed you don't. The login site looks like this: [x] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] And when yo

Why? Now all the universal keyloggers don't work (because they remember which keys were pressed, but not which positions they refer to).

25% of the password. Shouldn't matter that much. And you can change the percentages to for example 10% (asking for 90% of the password each time). Demand slightly longer passwords if that's a big problem. Hm, actually instead of m

What's more likely - that the bank gets hacked, or that you install a keylogger? Also there are ways to implement this without keeping the whole password in plaintext/reversibly encrypted. One example I just thought of: Ask for 75

You just spell it in your mind going through all the letters and only press keys where asked. I'm recently switched from a bank that uses regular passwords to a bank that uses partial passwords, and it took me a week or so to get used

I don't understand what they mean by N-dimensional state space. There are bijections between R^n and R for any n. What does it even mean, then, that state-space is N-dimensional? If you can transmit 1 real number you can transmit any n

English diminutives are very rudimentary and irregular compared to inflected languages. In some language you can form several levels of diminutives from any noun. Even stuff that makes no sense, like "cute taxes", "cute death

Unlikely. The rule is dictated by ease of pronunciation. It's hard to say "z stu", much easier to say "ze stu". The rule isn't hard to implement, it's just not expected to be a thing by framework/libr

Qt framework has system in place for several plural forms, so plik/pliki/plików problem is solved, and quite elegantly. If the application programmer gives a damn, that is. There's also a way to add context to the strings for
