For me, it is because there is an expectation that my data will pass through the telecom. Not only is it expected, but as the end user I have little choice in the matter. If Eve wanted to inspect my traffic, that is a one-stop shop. Flywhee

I was forced to take a CS High School course by my school district for being computer illiterate, despite having already taken two college programming courses in BASIC and Pascal, and working at a local Egghead Software. I took CS 2 AP and

I think that is a simplification of the model for high school level physics. It's like when we use Hooke's law to describe a spring constant that only holds true for part of the range. Compared with a volume of gas, fluids are &qu

This was basically what a lot of Quake era bots did to improve their AI. In order to find their way around a map, they precomputed paths. Later bots, when put in a map that wasn't precomputed, they would build a similar mapping on the

I started another comment, but it looks like it may have been lost. So I apologize if this is a duplicate. I'm currently working through SICP, so I appreciate your concept. For about a decade, I've been considering a tree structur

The key part is that it has different refraction for specific wavelengths. This implies that you will still need filters to restrict the light to those wavelengths or you will still have chromatic aberration. Projecting light through such a

A couple more points. Depending on how diverse the population is, a high mutation rate may not help when selecting the fittest children. There is also a chance that you will find a local maxima, and not the best solution overall. Introducin

I'll need to read about this. Thank you.

True, I am making an assumption that it is deterministic. If we presume that the Big Bang model of the Universe is true, then in the earliest moment of time, can the state of the Universe be measured? If it can be measured, how does it tran

I have been thinking about this problem for a year or so now. I was introduced to the concept watching a Numberphille video and several hours later read this article. I've been taking a somewhat metaphysical approach to thinking about

You could use the recovery console to gain access to an NTFS partition and I think it was a Windows 2003 disc on Windows XP wouldn't even ask you for the administration password. You couldn't access encrypted directories, but NTFS

I didn't take it as a mistake in forgetting. I think this was more of an experiment in understanding. Clearly the author was aware of previous Parallelism vs. Concurrency discussions and this was just an applied test to witness the dif

Isn't this saying that because the MSIL is generated from C#, VB.Net, F#, etc, that there can be no guarantee? As far as I know, Rust isn't compiling to a CLR, so the GC in .Net is happening at a lower level than the language, it&

Then why would anyone build native applications when Windows apps would be WORA? The only incentive I see for Apple is that they are in many ways a hardware company first. They want to sell hardware and this is one reason they haven't

I get what you are saying, but 12 year old you was 18 year old me. My first Linux distro was also Slackware, but I had cut my teeth on MS-DOS and Windows 3.0 - 95. I think that today's youth will embrace technology at the level it appe

I feel like that's an old way of thinking. If websites are too grow up and become first class applications, and advancements in Chrome and Firefox are paving that way, we want the browser to become a very thin runtime that doesn't

Pfft. Or you could just press Alt-Space, M, and then the arrow keys to "bind" the move to the mouse movement. This will let you bring the dialog back onscreen. On second thought, I'll be glad when I don't have to know th

This is precisely my take. I wasn't familiar with SFW until last night (this post), but I've been playing around with this concept for awhile myself. The only real drawback that I'm seeing so far is some link fragility. There

I started playing with it last night. It looks like the was a significant fork a few months back that separates the client from the server. Conceivably, you could take the client and figure out how to build a different UI.

With regards to SEO, I think a lot of you are missing something special about SFW, and that is that each page has a JSON representation. The client only exists to render the human readable view, but the JSON is fully crawlable by a spider.

A decade ago, I got to visit one of the accessibility labs at Microsoft. I'm not terribly surprised that Visual Studio works well as there are ocularly impaired developers at the company. I had the opportunity to speak with those who r

That doesn't tell you anything about the hidden services. By design, the hidden services don't have exit nodes. The traffic is encrypted from client to server.

I just have to say, I've been following this project for awhile. I've been hoping that it progresses beyond experimental stages. The two concept videos on YouTube are great.

It isn't weird if the explorer design is being retired. I fully expect them to stop selling the current model.

I can speak second hand about MMJ. I never sought to get a card myself, and I won't now that it is legal for recreational use in WA, but I witnessed first hand how it tremendously helped a friend of mine who suffers from Fibromyalgia.

For those critical of the article, have you any doubt that NK is behind these events? If so, what wasn't mentioned, which is more compelling in your mind?
