You are confusing the definitions of "fair" and "random".

This is in fact fixing a massive pain point in vim, and one of the main reasons why NeoVIM has so much support. Saving a file in vim takes 1-2 seconds for me. Not because my disk is slow, but because I run some linters on my files, that tak

I think a highlighting that helps parse the sentence structure would me more useful.

If I correctly guessed what you are talking about ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Department_for_Media_H... ) then yes, it's about advertising. That law is about protecting minors from getting in contact wit

No, the correct question is “better at what”? There are tons of tasks at which humans don't stand a chance against computers.

The human brain is in this situation much closer to an ASIC than a CPU. An average human can't play go on this level of skill – you need to use 20 years to turn your brain into the right kind of ASIC to play go. Also comparing the huma

Fascinating ^^. Removing the minus before the integral and changing 1-x to x is the difference that matters. I would have though that wa is so quick with those transformations that it doesn’t make a difference. Well, I was wrong :).

Thanks a lot for this clear analysis. I had gotten till the “difficult combinatorial question” and was stuck. Didn't think of just going into continuous space. The “crappy approximation” is actually what I used up until now and it&#x27

Yes, this. If you want a password that is secure against a bruteforce attack, I would strongly advice against making it up yourself. You will never know the entropy of your password and it could be anything. I personally just generate 10 pa

Am I the only one getting a distinctly dystopian (/cyberpunk) vibe from the video on that page? I don't mean the text/content – just the general vibe of the clip.

If you generated 2.7 * 10^18 GUIDs (and obviously stored them all, otherwise the birthday paradox is not relevant), you also used up 43 exabytes (=1 million terrabytes) of storage. I wonder which problem you will encounter first...

I can't see how this about capitalism. Showing source code to anybody (government or end user) does not make you loose your rights to that source code or the compiled application. This is about freedom and the right to self-determinati

As other people here pointed out / got confused by, the lack of textual information is probably a bigger issue.

I myself just avoided walking for a few months, and I've seen quite a few people use aids that they should not use out of laziness. So I disagree with your statement.

by chronial 11y ago
I think the idea is that you can have problems with walking that could be fixed by walking (I am currently in a situation like that after a knee surgery). I cases like that, this would not be a (objectively) helpful device. But I do not con

That is probably to make clear that this is not a Wall-E device or a bicycle replacement. Even with that clear language, multiple people here did not get that.

Read it carefully: When he talks about Emacs, he says Emacs. Then he says: “produce the best possible GNU Emacs”. You might have just skipped over the GNU here, because that is also the name of the software, but it matters in this case. I

This depends on where you live. In Germany, the landlord can not kick you out ( http://library.fes.de/pdf-files/netzquelle/awo/awi762.pdf ) – Government intervention can solve a lot of problems.

The solution to this has not changed. Public spaces are not public because they are not owned by anyone – they are public because they are owned by public entities. You can do that with computers and infrastructure just as much as you can d

Well, this ruling could still be challenged by the Bundesverfassungsgericht. So I think you are getting the wrong impression from "Supreme Court".

You misunderstood me. What you said was exactly my point: Just because something bad leads to something good, that doesn't make it good itself.

I'm no expert on the topic, but I think you need essentially different tools and technology to reach the purity necessary for weapons. So using these way more expensive tools to create fuel would be just stupid.
