Obligatory two xkcd's, but I'm super excited about this project! Definitely going to try it out. https://xkcd.com/1987/ https://xkcd.com/927/

Yeah totally! Just not my preference.

I strongly disagree about Snow Crash. I abandoned it halfway through because the style struck me as cringily cyberpunk. Relatively cool plot but the style just wasn't for me. However, Seveneves to me is everything I could hope for in a

In your example, 1 and 2 are twice as likely as any other number, because of the 22 possible results of n%22, 3 through 20 all only have one result that yields them, but 1 gets generated by 1 and 21, and 2 gets generated by 2 and 22. You co

That’s what I always wonder too. If we assume an attacker can change the contents at example.com/app.zip, why should we assume the hash published at example.com/download.html is any more secure?

Could you elaborate a bit more? It seems to me like the note being played would always correspond to the fundamental frequency observed. When is this not the case? Maybe as the note rings out, the fundamental frequency and first few overton

This is amazing, thank you so much for creating this!! I'm going to use this all the time. I have a huge number of books in my want-to-read list; have you thought about adding an option to sort by added date? (or by other things like g

I'm new to Rust so please interpret this as curiosity and not criticism, but why not just use tokio? I understand that it's nice to build applications against a generic interface so that you can swap out libraries if one stops wor

I used to have that instinct but lost it in the age of auto save. The applications (web or native) I use most often all do it for me: Google docs, Dropbox paper, notion, vscode. I don’t think I’m alone in this!

In a way this story is uplifting - that $500 stolen from a donation box on a climbing route is so surprising and infrequent for it to make international news. It’s something I’ve always loved about the outdoors/adventure communities: i

What is the DMZ, physically? I've always heard of putting your bastion in a DMZ but is that a conceptual layer or some sort of physical box sitting between the firewall and the bastion, and the bastion and the office router?

As a software engineer with no research experience, I wonder if one answer may lie in more foolproofing of the most commonly statistical analysis software, like matlab and stata. They are hugely powerful tools but obviously require quite a

Whoa, wanted to drop a comment and thank you for that framing. This would be such a useful tool even for internal documentation. Thanks!

Not disagreeing but just curious, why can't money buy enough GPU's? OpenAI's prices seem low enough that they could reasonably charge 2x or more to companies eager to get on the best models now.

pprint won't work here because the output is a json string, not a python object, so pprint'ing it will just print the string as is. And plus, pprint doesn't output valid json (it uses single quotes, for example), so the outpu

I have this shell function defined: csv_to_json () { python -c 'import csv, json, sys; print(json.dumps([dict(r) for r in csv.DictReader(sys.stdin)]))' | jq . } It converts a csv to a json list of objects, mapping column n

Such a simple concept. Not something I'll reach for every day but I can absolutely see myself using this a few times a year. Thanks for sharing!

That 's only if you can make multiple cuts (or slits), and it's actually 8x less because we're talking about bits, not bytes. With only one cut as the parent comment describes, you can only store the log base 2 of 100 billion

When I load the all page, I get an alert that just says "1", which feels like it's probably a successful XSS attack. Given that, I can't justify putting my credit card number directly into the site. If it took Paypal, Ap

But in some (not all!) cases it is a lawful contract, so it's worth consideration.

Not unless you go through a kind of esoteric “install to Home Screen” process, which most users aren’t likely to do.
