If I have GCC, I don't need llvm. Try to bootstrap llvm with something else.

Llvm doesn't have a bootstrap target.

We need stable and free infrastructure. It is unfortunate how few people realize what GCC does for everyone. It certainly ain't perfect, but imagine we only had clang/llvm. Llvm regularly breaks the API and cannot be bootstrapped,

Cool. What could possibly go wrong, right. I mean it would be pitty if all our masks and social-distance training go to waste now. So let's unfreeze some very old microorganisms and see what pathogens we can find amongst them.

If crows did that to my dog, I would shoot them. ... With a super soaker. I imagine it to be quite hilarious to teach these birds a lesson ;).

The Snowden effect has worn off, it seems. Nowadays the NSA is back to being able to pull the most extreme stunts and everyone who thinks it is even remotely possible is called a crazy conspiracy theorist.

You overthink this. The flooding might not have led to a crisis alone if the NSA or any other big buyer didn't place a huge order at that time. You also don't need a conspiracy to keep the procurements of a government agency confi

I am convinced if you give me a Word and a LaTeX paper from the same conference, I can tell you which one is from the typesetting tool and which one from the word processor.

I wonder if one could not simply pump it into some old oil reservoirs. The nations that need to do seawater refining should have some nearly empty oilfields lying around.

Add to this that no one cares about whether the data is even correct. A glitch in the location tracking and, bam, you have an affair. Some wrongly assigned search queries or speech requests and suddenly you are a pedophile. A terrorist sele

That's just bulls... People have a live besides work. Kids, family, spouses, hobbies, ... a lot of things have an influence where people can realistically live. And furthermore, even if everyone was that free-roaming, only-working, h

The water supply is an interesting question indeed. To me it is of similar importance as the question of navigation. Even if ancient proto-polynesians had a hunch that there was land somewhere, they must have known about the need of fre

Your second paragraph is absolutely correct, yet it leads to a circular argument, because it does not tell you anything about how correct your paper is. In fact, in that experiment, the probability of your paper being among the correct on

by choeger 5y ago
You make a mistake in your argument. Some assumption being "more likely to be correct" has no meaning without a distribution that can be described as random. Without repeating the assumption multiple times the words "probabil

I don't like these kind of arguments (see doomsday argument) because they do indeed have a deep logical flaw. They use definitions and mechanics from probability theory for phenomena that are not repeatable. For instance, my blood type

Companies like Facebook have a very simple way to protest the current crypto laws. They could publicly announce they are going to disable any crypto for each and every politician and their family members when they vote or act against it.

I don't trust Facebook when it comes to messaging. But even if I did they could easily rollout a backdoor to a specific client. In the worst case, they need some help from google and apple.

The only thing that nags me about homeoffice is that I was mostly working with people that I met in the office before. I do not know yet how interactions will work with people I only know remotely (pun intended).

I never understood why we need these black & white labels when it comes to substance usage. Obviously, never smoking any tobacco whatsoever is the healthiest option. But so is never drinking any alcohol or never eating any sweets. But i

That sounds like no one knows what the correct result is.

I don't have the time to write elaborate comments right now, but see here: http://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html Especially the "userns" option with the "keep-id"

No one mentions how podman solves that problem with user id mapping?

IIRC, NASA was working on something like this. They wanted to enclose a space ship with a bubble of charged particles and then create a strong magnetic field with or through these particles. Anything metallic would have been deflected.

According to the law of cosmic improbabilities, it just has to happen in that Case. To quote Terry Pratchett: > Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magi

IIRC the "0" as a natural number was "invented" much later than the other natural numbers. So the argument still holds, I think.

by choeger 5y ago
That sounds extremely useful, indeed. What are the caveats/corner cases? I assume it does a lot of debasing behind the scenes, what happens in case if conflicts?

That's simply because of two facts: First of all, weather is a chaotic system. And "good weather" is an extremely narrow band (at any given year try to find two farmers of different crops that both agree that the weather was

While home birth is certainly possible and apparently can be a very nice experience, I strongly suggest going into a hospital for birth (you should be able to choose a hospital of your liking after talking to the nurses/doctors/mi
