That game wouldn't generate labeled training data for their machine vision algorithms, which I'm sure is the whole point.

Am I missing something or is there currently no way to print out a list of recovery codes? Will I lock myself out of my account if I lose my phone? Edit: There's a ticket already opened for that https://github.com/pypa&

YMMV. Sometimes a solution to too much work isn't taking on more work (even if it isn't "business critical").

Very likely this is the same issue that was recently discussed in the context of Google ads. Ad campaigns commonly use tracking redirects and it may be an intentional Twitter feature that the preview card hides intermediate domains. https:

I think you underestimate how widespread ESR Firefox is. Debian ships Mozilla's ESR releases by default. I'm sure many shops that prefer stability over latest features also deploy ESR. Judging by how often it gets updated it seems

Why? It seems a very human-centric way to think. Such an entity wouldn't have ancestors that had to keep in groups to survive, so why would it be interested in making companions? AI converting the mass of the solar system into stacks o

Probably a unique wallet in each message. It seems to be that way in scam email ransoms.

This looks more like an automatically generated list of all releases "prior to 5.0.8". Since this vulnerability is apparently connected with net namespaces I doubt it goes all the way back to 2.0. Edit: git blame shows this commit

You see a reasonable technical response. I see users with a valid issue (even quoting relevant laws) being called names and told in a patronizing tone that widely accepted interpretations of said laws are wrong.

Yes, I've also been using awstats for many years. It definitely works for a small site, has a lot of useful features and occasional releases still keep up with new user agents, etc. that pop up over time. Each time I want to switch I f

I have a mostly static website that's not powered by WordPress in any way, yet my logs are full of requests for wp-login.php and such. Attempted attacks against WordPress are just the normal background radiation of the web these days.

Thanks for the link. I think the tool you linked specifically checks whether DKIM is set to allow Google's servers to send mail on the behalf of your domain. These checkers for example don't find any errors with the DNS record: h

I often wonder why this is the fact in software development and not nearly much so in other fields. Isn't the point of education that each generation doesn't have to learn past mistakes by repeating them? Do computer science curri

> Many hash tables in use today are actually either O(n^2) or O(n log n) Do you have any citation for such an extraordinary claim? Or are you not talking about lookup complexity where n is the size of the table? I would think that a hash

I think I still have somewhere a pile of paper booklets that came with old motherboards that have similarly unhelpful descriptions of various settings.

I seem to remember that Compaq business PCs in the late 1990s/early 00s had BIOS/NVRAM setup that looked suspiciously like a customized build of Windows 3.1. You held ESC or something during boot and you got a mouse-driven interfa

Interesting post. From my work on 1980s micros that used CRT TVs for display, the phosphor response described here seems to be a bit oversimplified. In my purely subjective experience, rise time seems to be shorter than fall time - pixels w

No, in fact it's slower than Kahan summation and less accurate. In particular, sorting doesn't help if you sum up a large number of similarly small values.

Maybe parent is a bit optimistic, both in terms of costs and travel time, but the orders of magnitude are approximately correct. Project Orion did come up with theoretical designs that were feasible for human travel (1 g acceleration). htt

I’ve been using Linux since Debian Slink (1999). I’ve never seen an a.out binary in the wild (although I seem to remember that various HOWTOs commonly mentioned them at the time).

Funny how these days it's the inverse, isn't it? Everyone, including Microsoft with Windows 10, seems to be obsessed with making PCs into large hand-helds and phones as far as user interfaces are concerned.
