You are not running uBlock Origin, so ads might be taking up all the CPU cycles they can get their hands on.

Yes, you need to update the seed immediately after reading it and before using it. There is no problem with a crash assuming that the seed write mechanism is crash-safe (which is achievable with block storage, but indeed I'm not sure w

Well, the proper solution for the future would be for the kernel to save and restore a random seed using UEFI variables, a similar firmware mechanism or free space in a boot sector or swap partition. But of course this doesn't solve th

They are saying that FAANG can hire just on generic skill because they are large and can probably find some way to use anyone smart and can afford wasting money on unproductive employees, while they (and startups in general) need people to

Assuming they are independent random variables, since e.g. X xor (not X) is constant.

How does central planning determine which approaches are most likely to result in a successful cure?

None of these encodings work. If there is no length encoding, start, middle, end and ASCII byte encodings must not overlap to support correct decoding of any subslice of a document. If there is a length encoding on the start, then start, mi

The fundamental big mistake was having 3 boards at once. I have no idea how they thought that would be an acceptable design given that nowadays it's well known that mainstream people are unwilling to learn any interface that is even sl

It's also limited by the number of people that want to pass through that road per unit of time.

What's so problematic about the UI? It opens with a list of books, you double click on the book you want to read and it opens that book in a new window. What could be simpler than that?

Well, it does since calling printf in a userspace signal handler is equivalent to calling printk in a kernel interrupt handler. But the userspace "solution" is to just forbid such usage.

The kernel doesn't provide a "printf" function, but provides a mostly but not completely equivalent function as "printk". They could and perhaps should have just called it "printf", but it doesn't rea

Seems a really bad study, since it doesn't mention the exact methodology (caching, exact queries, size of the JSON data, etc.), nor does it attempt to figure out why PostgreSQL is taking 8 ms to do something that should take much less

Why discriminate by gender? Not only it's bad and limits the market, but I'd guess many or most people who identify as a woman who want to go to social events would enjoy the company of people who do not identify as a woman, since

Is it feasible to use private information retrieval algorithms so that query privacy is preserved?

"Serverless" is just an aggressive form of container-based autoscaling, and thus has no fundamental difference from it, although of course pricing can unfortunately be arbitrary and thus cause artificial distinctions.

Hmm, isn't the solution to do something proactively to increase entropy when getrandom() is waiting for it? (especially for the first bytes) Like inserting arbitrary reads of any available SSD or hard disk that has already been spun up

I think his words are being misrepresented. He said this: " Minsky had sex with one of Epstein’s harem [...] Let’s presume that was true [...] We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself

Why is there a requirement for only flying from/to the airline's country? What is stopping any airline from simply opening fully owned subsidiaries in every country they want to fly from/to? Or alternatively effectively doing

Am I the only one that finds that using that theory to justify not adding capacity is utterly idiotic? If you add capacity and it ends up being all used up, it just means you didn't add enough and should add even more if possible! Kind

The obvious solutions seem to be either: 1. Add enough speedbumps, unsynchronized traffic lights or even unnecessary timed barriers to make the route slow enough that it's no longer optimal 2. Add cameras that fine anyone who doesn&#x2

The best way to see systemd is simply as the userspace part of the Linux kernel, with a similar monolithic but modular design.

Generally most hotels fail on the pitch black during the day requirement because they only have curtains (only roller shutters, aluminum foil on the window or having no window can block all light), they aren't very good at being silent

On the opposite side, I wish there was an efficient hotel market for people like me who don't care at all about the aesthetics or size of the hotel room, room service or amenities but do care about having a single room, pitch black and

Feels like the big blocker is that it seems to only be useful if you insist on a language that is Perl-like but also modern, but most Perl programmers probably moved to other languages already and don't care about whether their languag

Early versions of mio had a bunch of non-essential things like a timer wheel built-in, that were later removed.

Is there a reason to not just take all those drugs at once? Wouldn't that give the best results?

No, a synchronous procedure is a procedure whose minimum completion time depends solely on the speed of the CPU and memory system (and lock contention, in some models), while an asynchronous procedure is a procedure whose completion time al

Most people like to play optimally, but also like fun gameplay, and the gameplay you describe tends to get boring since it is very repetitive and ignores the level and monster design almost completely (explore until you find monster, retrea
