For some context for those reading along, here's Liddell Power Station: https://goo.gl/maps/tNMeDzyrgwtFsiE67 You can see the enormous pile of washed and graded coal at the southern end, fed by a network of convey

That story doesn't really check out. Brown coal and black coal come from different coal fields, and those power stations in NSW are powered by nearby coal fields. Brown coal in particular is so energy-poor it's not really worth

There's a more iconic "video" than Subterranean Homesick Blues?

As I heard it at the time, they had to actually physically carry the book overseas.

I don't buy the equivalence here. Notice that while the author was blackballed by an arse-covering bank, they weren't actually arrested for sanctions-busting. This is broadly because you need a bit more than "appears to mat

Do you suppose handwritten assembly had a lesser rate of unexpected or unintended behaviour?

Yes. For example, see this video of a Continuous Tamping Machine in operating, tamping railway ballast: https://fb.watch/79KwlAt2Fz/ You probably wouldn't have to go too far back to find people sceptical about th

Right. A working automated bricklaying machine would be like a C compiler for brickmasons.

A sliding glass door in the foyer of an office I worked in once just spontaneously turned itself into a pile of glass granules one day. I'm led to believe it's not a particularly infrequent occurrence.

There's also Cassowaries, possibly the closest thing you can get to the experience of being chased by the Jurassic Park velociraptors.

There's a former office building near me that has been converted into an apartment hotel, so it's certainly possible if the zoning etc can be sorted out.

This is right. Those physical pages get pinned by the device. It's not like it's a new issue, anyway - physical backing pages can be dropped and re-used even if the process is still running, so the reference counting always had t

It's neutrons with kinetic energy that's similar to the other particles in the environment, so they're at thermal equilibrium. Read it as "low energy neutrons".

That doesn't accord with what we observe in the universe - not expansion outward from a central point, but expansion everywhere as everything moves away from everything else.

It occurs to me that using TFO effectively with a TLS library like OpenSSL would be difficult.

by caf 5y ago
On the client side, unless the client knows about TFO it's not going to be set up to send data with the initial connection - it's going to use the standard BSD sockets flow of connect(); send();. To usefully use TFO you need to r

It seems like you wouldn't need an oracle if you created a mirror token in the same way USDT (supposedly) mirrors USD - issue one SynTSLA token in exchange for one actual TSLA stock certificate, and promise to redeem them 1:1 as well.

The last example is incorrect: int foo(int (*array)[3]) { return (*array)[1]; } // VLA pointer That is not a "VLA pointer" - there is no variably modified type here, that is just an ordinary pointer to array type,

Although the name 'New England' is now firmly associated with the east coast of America, this is not the first place to be called that. There's at least one other New England, which in confusing piece of geography is a regi

I tend to disagree. Lego's main competitor isn't their own old sets; it's alternate entertainment like XBox or YouTube. I would estimate that any innovation like this that encourages people to pull out and play with their Le

I don't think that matters in this case, because the entire point of the log machine is to run crypto operations. If it has such a faulty processor it is basically unusable for the task anyway.

It should in-principle be possible to write a branch where the code itself is single-bit-error resistant, in pseudo-machine-code something like: LOAD [launch1] COMPARE 0x89abcdef JUMP_IF_NOT_EQUAL [fail_label] LOAD [launch2] COM
