So why/how does covid affect smell? Could it be that pollution was the problem all along?

The steps are for most people to stop using what the governements and companies provide/enforce. HTTPS is _not_ more secure in any way. The lock icon is an illusion. As for the technical reasons: - Big-ints are not trivial in js. - DNS

The reason people are skeptical about doctors (both philosophical and medical) is that they make their own market. In simpler terms: the sicker you are, the more they earn. Just like computer consultants earn more the worse they deliver, be

Markets in a high energy cost environement make their margin more on volatility and speculation. You will also see margins themselves widen until the system falls in on itself. We dont have a financial margin tracker. Also increasing intere

Nothing allows first connection security. Google wants you to need HTTPS, that is what they sell. From Chrome to GCP.

You cannot solve this unless you send a pigeon or trust some higher power. Certificates are a scam. My solution which is convoluted and relatively insecure if you have a persistent MITM is to require a password change that you can encrypt w

I understand you are being snarky, but this actually proves my point. How far down the road of uniform waste of energy have we not gone when public specifications are encrypted. After 4 years of HN defending Googles war on HTTP, these are t

I guess you need to have the creativity to extend the link knowledge with encrypting the data with the OTP. Ubiquitous in corporate hell? Try humans doing real work, they don't use HTTPS. No HTTPS forces you to comply. If you make your

lol, you are concerned by interception (gov and isps have root certificates) but not about where the data is stored? With OTP you can easily encrypt your data so nobody can read it inflight over HTTP. I guess you need to have the creativity

You didn't click that link? Maybe you didn't understand it? Simplicity is a good reason to avoid HTTPS, also freedom and economy. 30% of internet is still HTTP. 100% of non-stupid internet is still HTTP. Security is not needed in

Nuclear is heating the oceans, we are litteraly boiling ourselves like frogs in a kettle. We are terraforming a perfectly functional planet with matter into energy, like the sun.

You don't modify the entire 64 bytes at the same time. That's why you fill it with atomic variables that you can modify _without_ locking. You need the array to contain structures that fill the cache line to avoid invalidation whe

Why write workarounds instead of simply using arrays of 64 byte atomic structures for your data? That way you avoid cache misses and cache invalidation at the same time. And your software can run at full speed across multiple threads/c

The only feature I lack from JSON (and js) is ordered maps. But XML is not necessarily that bad for many things. I still use this XML editor I made in 2008: http://move.rupy.se/file/logic.html

I use zip (in flight) and 2 different lz (on disk) for my 3D action voxel MMO. But the characters are flat shaded so those textures are tiny. You need to look at the data, animation weights compresses 95% with a simple lz. One big dissappoi

The original BCM2837 was a terrible chip because the cooling is of old style so the PCB can't transport enough heat away and the package was plastic insulating from an eventual heat-sink. The Pi 3+ and 4 changed that. BCM2836 is the re

They can't, the RAM was external which wouldn't fit on the one sided Zero. Thus why they bounded the 512MB ram in the package for Zero 2. Physical limits are now everything you'll see until the end of time. 8GB is the largest

The Raspberry 2 (original ARMv7 not underclocked Raspberry 3 ARMv8) is the best low power server. 1W idle and 2W 100% (6x more perf. than Raspberry 1 = Zero with Eth.). They saturate the SD card SPI almost to the byte/second. 32-bit is

The only interesting challenge is non-trivially parallelizable multicore applications that need to share memory across threads. And the only choice you need to make is arrays of 64 byte structures C OR Java. In other words do you need to be

The irony is apparently lost on all westerners that the car is what is causing the problem in the first place. You are all sitting in the machine that destroys your own future. Time machine to hell!
