That sounds hard. Is a USB-A-to-C cable in the A group or C group or neither? What about the inverse? What about cables that only do data but can't transmit enough power? What about cables that are slow but high power? What about thick

I suspect the fundamental problem here is it's hard (if not impossible) to determine if someone who tried the winning approach deserves the credit for the discovery, because there's always the chance that they could've done s

Has anyone else seen this happen? I checked and my setting is still off.

Here's a trivial example to illustrate: class User { explicit User(const char* name) { if (!look_up_uid(&uid, name)) { abort(); } } bool is_root() const { return uid == 0; } int uid

Is blockchain going to finally be the solution to something? I'm only half joking. Should researchers perhaps put hashes of their attempts on a public blockchain tied to their own public keys, verify their claims asynchronously, and th

Wouldn't using a neighbor's Wi-Fi without anyone's permission or instruction violate CFAA or some other law? Also, wouldn't this be trivial to test by just setting up your own network and seeing if the TV connects?

Perhaps they're hoping to get significant market share before they lose the opportunity for good?

You don't seem to believe that something like generational wealth makes much of a difference?

It sounds insultingly low, yeah. I'm trying to imagine why they would pay so little. The only two reasons I can think of are either (a) they were already aware of it and fixing it, and therefore the report didn't really change muc

Neither I nor you should appreciate spreading unsubstantiated rumors that directly attack the public servants neither of us personally know. If it bothers you that I'm defending them, then perhaps don't launch your attacks on them

I don't understand, sorry. How does declaring an optional dependency in a toml file solve the problem of accessing the symbol in your code? Also, you need something that works for simple one-file scripts, not just a whole package or pr

Thanks for the feedback, but I think you're missing something. This is not about us, it's about everything and everyone else implicated in the discussion. About the fact that we're essentially being demanded to assume - witho

It's not clear such a thing even exists in general though. It's certainly not guaranteed by packages. What would that be for numba?

Okay thanks, so here's what I don't understand. When there is video evidence that someone was in their house the whole time, and given that everyone who has used a GPS knows it can easily be inaccurate by 30ft, why in the world

Thank you!

What is the right way to handle an optional dependency?

by dataflow 22d ago
Do you have any examples of someone getting thrown behind bars due to a GPS error on the order of ~30ft like you're claiming? That's all I'm asking. Really don't understand why you keep avoiding it. You've essenti

You're claiming that erroneously reported movements by ~33 ft lead to incarceration, yet the article you're linking to reports that erroneously reported movements by ~1mi+ lead to police coming to double-check what's going on
