It is the silence detection as well. Nobody can hear you taking a deep breath before speaking up, or giving assent by a slight "hmhm". Human audio communication is more than just words, but software forces it to be just words.

It's even worse. Fancier or not, centralized systems are actually bad for usability in a very important way: Users will always manage to break their local checkout or clone somehow. With git (and many other, but not all) decentralized

Most "awesome lists" are just there for farming GitHub stars. There are people who think those will get them ahead in applications or salary negotiations. This also means that after the initial inrush, long-term care is inefficien

Quite the opposite. Learning can only happen, if there is some kind of feedback. If the other side doesn't notice that something is off in our communication, because I do not signal displeasure about their rudeness by being rude myself

Refusing politely takes time and effort. Ignoring less so. And about the rudeness: The person emailing was rude in the first place, being rude in return is never a problem. They didn't read the README or FAQ and ignored the official ch

To the full extent? I would even go so far to not take your technical skills seriously for many jobs if you can't even admin a small VM for your private email. Companies with this lack of skill are even worse, don't care about the

Conservation of momentum dictates that proton and electron will move away from each other. The decay energy might be absorbed by a nearby nucleus in an medium to a large part, leaving only a small momentum for both particles so they can for

Also, removing -dev packages and compilers is one of the usual hardening steps, to make it harder for an attacker to establish a foothold and build tools.

I can also do handwaving culture arguments like apple design in a minimalist fashion, so everything that can be left out will be, including documentation. But I don't like those, I hate to diagnose cultures I only read about. However,

Apple developers are a captive audience, they will pay their annual hundred bucks and develop for iShiny no matter how crappy the docs are. There are just too many rich users and clueless PHBs demanding apple development to miss out. If tho

Quite impossible without extensive sourcecode changes. Where FF has extensive user-configurable flags in about:config, Chrome is just a totally unconfigurable blob.

Islands don't really matter, but closed borders do. Europe has very different policies and rates of spread, but open borders mean that no country in the EU can eradicate Corona if the rest doesn't eradicate it at the same time. Ca

Answers like yours are just cherry-picking some approaches to support your favourite solution, veganism. There are many more of those kinds of problems, stemming from a common one, overpopulation. Any linear approach reducing consumption of

They won't be compensated easily due to cheapness reasons. Anything legal is just an excuse (assuming Marak isn't on some terrorist blacklist or something).

Yes, but there are also frequent claims of padded scientists' recommendations, so for some exceeding those recommendations is justified.

It can be a mutually beneficial arrangement, perhaps letting TSMC US produce some defence-relevant silicon and providing a safe haven and nest-egg for Taiwans elites in case of invasion/unification.

Agreed, testing is never without risk. The risk however is smaller than the one presented by an attacker in such a scenario. If you are running such a house of cards, you need to know now. Avoiding toppling it over in pentesting just leads

The silver bullet is natural self-regulation. Mankind will shrink automatically after hitting a real ceiling.

There are flat sheets of prisms, that do what you need there. You probably know them from pictures you had as a child that change what they display depending on the angle you are looking under.

It could be, but coming from happy Energiewende Germany, as a household you pay more than twice as much for your power as any industrial or commercial user, 30ct/kWh vs. 12ct/kWh. The difference comes from the usual rebates, but t

Maybe it is not so much the NSA, but German secret services do pretty much snoop everything they can get their noses into. The only reason that they couldn't collect as much as the NSA was inferior technical capability, not a lack of w

well, yes, Germany used to be all forrests, around 1BCE. Since then, people changed all kinds of habitats, often in a very radical way (burning and razing down the forest, lots of towns ending in -roth because of that). Nowadays, conservati

In Germany, none. Domesticated animals are easier prey (fenced in, not used to predators), and hogs are breeding like a plague, it would take unacceptable amounts of wolves to make a noticable dent.

by corty 6y ago
Simply paying for cattle that wolves have eaten isn't enough. Wolves induce panic in herds, causing them to go over cliffs or trample down fences and cross busy roads, causing accidents. In Germany this isn't currently paid for by

From my limited expirience, temperature of the extruded material must be in some narrow window, too cold or too hot and it will clump. Even within the window, the production of sticky hairs (what one would aim for in this case) varies a lot

Well, bizarre would be using SHA3, some GOST algo, or maybe putting some postquantum crypto in there. The article describes something that is just a little strange.
