And how exactly did you determine this track record? It's not as if there's a log or appeals process...

Startup/initialization performance generally doesn't matter because that can be done outside of trading hours, so allocation is fine there; the important thing is performance after that.

Telling students about your anti-cheating measures seems like a health inspector telling restaurants in advance the dates when he'll show up. The problem is that most professors are not going to go out of their ways to employ anti-chea

Caveat from the discussion: > It is unclear what the prevalence of antibody is in individuals with subclinical or asymptomatic infections and how this assay performs in an asymptomatic population.

I think what's implicit in the comment is that the output vector can correspond to things like dosages of drugs or recommended therapeutic treatments.

This isn't specific to bash scripts, this can happen to pretty much any file. What we really need is a way for a process to atomically "check out" a copy of a file to read from that won't change.

No, you can't edit pages that have been deleted, so that's more than a flag.

Yeah, these still exist, though they're becoming more rare. I think what you actually want though is for processes to be killed at the end of class/lab period (even then, I think this should be done by students manually to avoid l

>It’s a good default too since it’s weird that “logging out” doesn’t imply “and end all my programs.” I have to disagree, I don't think I've ever run something where what I intend is "kill this mid-run if my connection dro

Why exactly should students not be able to use CPU cycles while not logged in? I certainly did this as a student and would probably not have complained if it decided to kill my processes when doing so.

You shouldn't be downvoted, this is correct. Sane distros will change the default.

If you write 2 (or N) blocks, the new blocks still comes from you as there's a data dependency on the external blocks you use, so the most-recent tactic still de-anonymizes the uploader.
645.
by dooglius 6y ago
This seems pretty easily defeatable: an adversary just needs to track the timestamps of various blocks, and the last one that gets created is the "real" one. The stuff about copyright seems pretty dumb, obviously the most recent b

Note: I believe the commentary here is copied from the Lamport's website, http://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#buridan which has similar commentary alongside each of his papers. This makes perfect sense

No, the halting problem says that one cannot determine whether an _arbitrary_ program halts, while this says that one cannot build a _particular_ physical device that is guaranteed to output in bounded time.

>In your example there's no guarantee that the length will be accurate, or that the data hasn't been modified independently elsewhere in the program. And having a special data-and-length type would make these guarantees... how?

by dooglius 7y ago
You can very easily make a struct consisting of a pointer and length, is adding such a thing to the standard really a big deal? Personally, I don't see a problem with passing two arguments.

That's a great way of looking at it

That wouldn't really be n=11 because there is a huge implicit control group of people who haven't come back to life, and if you do the math it would very strongly reject the null hypothesis.

I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think what I said is wrong. Sure, it's not the best conceivable choice, but I don't think the NSA would be particularly out of place on this list, given that it includes th

In some ways, the NSA is actually not a bad choice: it's constitutionally required to uphold free speech (can't censor anything), and I don't think it can sell your data to advertisers either. And, the NSA can collect your da

That's the way I think it _should_ work, but sadly does not. For instance, see https://godbolt.org/z/ent-xp
