Can you give a source for that? My understanding is that we just identify latency and account for it. The human reaction time is orders of magnitude higher that 1ms.

Have a look at the expected utility Wikipedia article. In short: The difference between owning a total of 0 and a total of 10000 USD is way more important than the difference between owning 10000 and 20000 USD. So assume you have 20000 USD.

You can easily prevent this on the server side. The protected branch feature of Github prevents history rewriting for example.

Are you actually claiming that the GDPR leads to mass surveillance? Please elaborate.

Precedents matter everywhere. In countries where precedents are not law, decisions from higher-level courts are still guiding the decisions of lower-level courts – so the effect is somewhat similar.

If y = x_0 and x_1 = x_0 + N, then y = x_1 - N. Then y and x_1 are highly correlated. But y - x_0 = 0 – which is not correlated to x_1 at all. y is "success" x_0 is "socioeconomic background" x_1 is "result of the m

Yeah, the git cli in its default settings is very hostile towards that information ^^. Pull actually works the wrong way around – it merges the remote branch into the local branch and then pushes that as the new remote branch. So if you fol

You mention "free unlimited bandwidth" on the homepage in a column named "1 TB transfer". A lot of people have upstreams in the order of 1MBit/s – with such speeds, uploading a TB would take 92 days. That seems misl

No, the point of the language is to give you maximum power. The point of the community is to make sure this power is wielded responsibly :).

You can just replace the call stack with an explicit stack in your function – that should never be hard, just a bit less readable :).

I am very confused how redis could get involved here. I hereby declare this open source :) import threading _local = threading.local() class SessionKeeperMiddleware: def __init__(self, get_response): self.

This won't work since the request is not yet available when the callback is set up.

I think the parent misunderstood "inability to get it passed through the Django module to the callback". At first it sounded to me like you were trying one of your own values. But if you actually plan to use this code in productio

I think "pwn3d" does but refer to a security issue in the article, but to social networks claiming to have millions of users and outsiders being able to proof that it's far less via user ids.

As far as I understand this, that demo will have no benefit whatsoever from the changes described in the article. Since it uses <canvas> with WebGL, it has always done all its rendering on the GPU in a videogame style way – in any ver
