I think this is the problem format=flowed was created to solve. But it doesn’t seem to help. I wonder why it doesn’t have wider implementation

Can you find a nearby hiring manager—someone who hires regularly—to give you an interview and tell you why you wouldn’t be hired? I’d be happy to do this for acquaintances near me (Cambridge, Mass.)

Parasites change the time constant of the exponential system, sometimes allowing other controllers to function without underdamping and violent oscillation.

The 48s show you four rows of stack at a time, and can use that to show a single long expression. That can be a huge difference—though of course, unlike the time when these were built, we have Octave and similar right there .

Depends in part on why you want it there. For many answers, you get a CDN. Even if you have entirely dynamic and incompressible content, the bandwidth-delay product's role in limiting TCP bandwidth means two connections with half the d

A magnificent tree? It was the original widowmaker. Dead elms are dangerous to everyone nearby: they look fine, then fall fast and hard.

I wonder where you are! In Boston, and at mathy CS conferences, 15" MacBooks are routine. Someone always has a Surface, and 10-50% are thinkpads or XPS with Linux.

Sensors are expensive. Counters are cheap. Put in ink by weight. Assume pages at 60th percentile use of each color. Set counter. At zero, whine for more ink.

Heartbreaking, in the same sense as Fantasy Heartbreaker tabletop RPGs?

It's very big of you to be willing to pay overtime for new staff that way. I invest in my staffs' intellectual equity too, but usually ask them to do their reading and learning on the clock.

How do you vacuum? When you need to use power tools, just run cords or stick to batteries?

We know markets are bad at pricing in catastrophic very-low-probability events. That's why the lottery stays in business. How do you price in dicamba use? It shouldn't quite be banned, but—silence isn't enough.

Two is the number of electrons in He, and the number of slots in the lowest orbital. Two appears in nature. Circles appear in the shape of that same s orbital, though, so I don't see how to avoid pi.

It's surprising to me that so few recognize the touch bar for its real purpose: trusted path I/O. Imagine a password manager interacting with the secure element using the touch bar. Or a U2F device. Or a document signing applet.

It's got to be BTLE: there aren't enough USB-C ports on most USB-C machines.

Well, good, right? This is the same outcome most of us wanted between Swartz and JSTOR, and perhaps with Malamud and PACER. No technical control can be in the right place, but we can hope for a common understanding (maybe eventually law?)

Perhaps that belongs not as an extension, but as a fork ?

Yes, in the specific case of Valproic Acid, a powerful mood stabilizer used for schizophrenia. The generics are different salts, metabolize differently, and different patients typically end up preferring one. If you like one of the two ge

Boys are encouraged to build and to play ball. Girls are encouraged to perform and to play tea. Why would we expect the stereotypical difference to be biological at all? I'm sure there are some differences in tendencies, but I'm

Yes, because I want a place to read articles about measuring its nature, shape, and effects. I want to be able to talk about countermeasures, so I have to be able to advocate theories of detailed causes---and I need to hear the best possibl

Writing even this software wouldn’t have been illegal. It’s mentioned in the indictment as a concrete act in furtherance of a conspiracy, part of the technical abstraction of prosecuting a conspiracy in US law. What is illegal is stealin

Carry propagation is one pixel in the 4K movie that is safe crypto implementation. One reason not to link to trivia and factoids about safe crypto implementation is that it builds a dangerous false sense of competence. There are programs th

Not quite. That gets you better mixing, but maybe Blake2 has bias in some bits, or bias in some output bits given bias in some input bits. Xor is nice in that xor of a biased bit and an unbiased bit is an unbiased bit.
