Can we fetch say, 10 articles after the server-generated random number, and then choose a random article from that ? Intuitively, this should even the selection chance, but the math evades me

I wonder if Go syntax could be extended to tag statements in addition to struct fields: func decomp(filename string) ([]byte, error) { fd, err := os.Open(filename) `err` defer fd.Close() zd, err := gzip.NewRead

I think it's pretty clear this is not about "CSAM", we have to stop using the term. It's just censorship, plain and simple. Client side means you'll pay from your own pocket for this wrongthing detector to work. It

Scrollbars were never meant to jump instantly anywhere. They are intended for progressive movement in either direction. It's a much more recent feature implemented as "minimap" in several IDEs. The difference is that minimap

Umm, scrollbars nowadays are just to indicate something is scrollable. You almost never have to actually drag them. Touch devices: swipe the content. Laptops: touchpad two-finger swipe, hold middle button and use trackpoint Desktops: mouse

My own code is on my own gitea instance in my home, exposed via a cheap jump server. My companys code is stored on-premise. Nothing touches github and no, ms does not already have my code.

Could be different sets of people actually! However. It will eventually, chunk by chunk, upload the full source code of the app you are writing. Complete with all typos and mis-pastes. Like youtube blocks videos with just a hint of copyrigh

How came that usually privacy-minded hn crowd uses run-by-someone-else models so cheerfully and carelessly? You do realize any data sent to MS/openai/anyone will be stored forever and probably be used against you in the (near) fut

50 authors in a paper about flipping coins?

Can you toss a coin without it flipping at least once (changing state)? I find it quite unlikely to happen, so if the starting state was H, your sequence will be THTH...

The release notes do not say why there is a need to obfuscate keystroke timings. I guess it is designed to mitigate some attack vector? Is it already being exploited in the wild or... let's say is purely of academic interest?

Disable the docker.service unit but don't disable docker.sock. Docker won't be running at startup but will transparently start on first invokation. Configure daemon address pools in case they conflict/intersect with real netw

In theory, an easy workaround would be a clean fork stripped of blacklists etc. But that is why there is an effort to introduce drm in browsers: to make you unable to use unsigned/non-lcomplying browsers to use the web at all.

Much ado about nothing. It's a matter of personal taste. An actual ≠ has a low chance to sneak into the source code, even lower chance to somehow type it by hand. Either way, it would be a syntax error highlighted by any editor. I&#x27

- the realists: it's just a stochastic parrot spitting regurgitated content back at you. Good at summarizing search results. Unreliable and will never be. A toy. Do not use if errors are expensive.

Everyone does it because everyone else does it. And since everyone does it, it does not hurt metrics. And seems like noone had the guts to be the first to stop this nonsense. (also applies to layoffs?)

Even a single bit may be arbitrarily large, depending on the encoding. Encoding may be defined as a language, Turing machine, bb, etc. I can also define a single set bit as 10↑↑100 and beat your busy beaver. It's all arbitrary. A float
