Why would you run untrusted programs? And if you do, why are passwords so much more sensitive than your entire browsing history, all your emails and e.g. all your not-passphrase-protected SSH keys?

While individual donors and foundations may play some role or another, nearly all risky outliers with new ideas are funded by taxes, not random individuals. The number of private research institutes is extremely limited (in particular in Eu

So you’re upset that your tax evasion scheme is now no longer possible and you have to pay taxes?

Kids under 7 cannot enter into contracts at all. Kids between 7 and 18 can enter into contracts, either if those contracts are entirely without duties to them (e.g. they can accept gifts) or if their contractual duties are somewhat negligib

Well, 'is' is singular so it can’t be the correct verb associated to 'sailing ships' if the latter means multiple sailing ships rather than the activity of sailing ships.

swot seems to be restricted to places of higher education, leaving out research institutes, such as the MPG association in Germany or the national labs in the US.

If you, however, want to get back to work as quickly as possible if one of your calculations erroneously uses too much memory, having swap will prolong the system-is-frozen period before the OOM killer solves the problem.

Not really. We know that the idea of a "fluid" has to break down eventually (at least due to finite particle sizes, possibly due to discretisations of space or whatever). An equation which describes "fluids" at sufficien

Tensor networks, as in the condensed matter theory sense - i.e. matrix product states, DMRG, time evolution, many different physical systems, some different tensor network topologies etc. Unfortunately closed-source (though open for collabo

Postdoc in HPC/numerical physics here. Somewhat rarely for my field, my supervisor gave me a lot of freedom during my PhD to `do things properly’ (instead of pushing me to get things done yesterday). While I don’t have 100% test covera

They are cross-language though, something I (as a user) personally value much much more highly than a cross-platform package manager which also supports a bunch of random platforms which I don’t care about at all. For developers/softwa

Fair use applies to citations (not of the whole work), parodies and similar creative processes. Similar requirements in Germany include some creative input by the person claiming fair use which usually should exceed the creative content tak

Thank you for your reply. Ideally I’d prefer for you to respect the license associated to each paper and only re-compile and re-host if the license actually allows you to do that (i.e. CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA and maybe CC-BY-NC-SA, depending o

Each arXiv paper has a well-defined license linked-to from the upper right hand corner "(license)" link below the PDF and source downloads. If they only re-hosted and re-compiled papers for which they have a license to do so, I wo

I have to admit I am not impressed. My first paper, which I tried to render, does not work properly; references are removed and rendered poorly, figures are misplaced and tables incomplete. Given that not all arXiv papers are under a permis

Hopefully it will stop people implementing their own date/time pickers which only allow changing that date/time by clicking up/down arrows. In particular the Munich transport website (mvg.de) is guilty of this and I absolutel

We could also have lots and lots of deformed and/or dead babies then. There’s a reason these regulations exist and are updated often to keep up with current best practices.

At least in Germany, most common cold remedies are not paid for by insurance companies but private people (since they have not been proven to work etc.). So insurance companies would only save the additional costs once the cold develops int

That’s like saying that prior to introducing seatbelts, we should have allowed for a period of time to glue people to their seats because it is preferable to have a mitigation they can apply themselves than a fix the manufacturer has to put

Either there is a possibility for patches to be prepared during an embargo or there is “no client-side mitigation”, you can’t have both. From reading the rest of this thread, it appears that it is quite possible to patch this on clients suc
