You most likely can. Just listening to people type on a keyboard gives a very unique feel with each person. Try it sometime, listen to family members and colleagues type or find some youtube video. I can ID all my family members and some

Am I the only one who thinks this is all good, in fact? The push for extra capacity and small scale distributed energy storage increases redundancy / eliminates large single points of failure. Whereas the status quo is a huge power pl

Is it? Based on the comments, the situation looks like "it doesn't work and nobody has figured out how to make it work."

Advent of Code[1] often has problems that might seem just a bit too much to bruteforce, or not, depending on your background and language at hand. Many of them are bruteforceable enough that I ended up setting races: run a bruteforce in th

OpenBSD binaries in general don't have a long shelf life. They will break ABI when they want to move forward.

They also talk past each other because the value of debuggers vastly depends on what you're debugging. It's relatively easy to get value out of a debugger in a straightforward synchronous userland process. It's much harder in

Funny, because aside from some cheap tools and coffee, time is pretty much the only thing a developer needs to do anything. What I've experienced is that in open source projects, patches get rejected and rejected until everyone agrees

Number 4: there's never enough time. People who could do better are pushed to ship a feature tomorrow because hey it's simple and it can't take more than a day or so, right? And then we have the next feature.. I haven't

It is a nightmare if positive change does not come about. You're stuck in pain for as long as you refuse to bring others pain.

And that is a major issue for many younger people who contemplate suicide. I think it's more that they want to unburden themselves, but knowing that doing so will burden their close ones is what keeps them from doing it. Quite nightmar

It's not like people become fat on a whim or have no regrets about it happening. Likewise, you can plan suicide for years.

I don't have a problem with having authorities as long as we can choose which ones to trust (and have limitations on the scope of their authority), and form our own as necessary. For example, I'll be happy to add and pin my govern

I agree. As long as there's scarcity, there's someone trying to exploit it. I think it could be better to just accept that unique global names are not a great idea, and start identifying parties by certificates rather than name.

I think by "TLD outside of ICANN's control", GP meant a unique TLD that (currently) does not exist under ICANN. So it's not going to be byuu.org under ICANN vs byuu.org under LR, it's going to be byuu.lr (under LR)

I don't understand the logic by which people say that in smaller towns, you need a car. For me the exact opposite has been true: the larger the city, the more likely I am to need a car. In small cities everything is in walking distan
