I actually wrote a JS-based encryption container which passes these requirements (and does not even have PasswordSafeV3's key-reuse problem!) for these very reasons about 2 years ago, and one of its example applications in the reposito

So if you've never taken an economics class, here's the basic craziness that crucially underpins our modern economy: There is a central bank sitting in the middle of most modern economies, and it is a bank-for-banks: they either b

This is hard to summarize into a TLDR, but I'll try. The general summary: an anthropologist gets mired in a village during a timeframe where there is nothing to do but drink beer and talk; she therefore tries to tell the story of Hamle

Right. I was initially credulous to the idea that there is data in the system after the present, thinking, "Holy crap! That means that some other department in Facebook consists of chatbots which have randomly woven themselves into peo

I was hired for $65k or so after a 6-month job search left me financially drained. There was the promise that typical raises could go into the 10% or more per year region, with a possible promotion to a Senior Software Engineer position, bu

Awesome! This has long been a dream of mine, but I never solved the problem of creating a better syntax than BNF grammars etc. I don't know if we have the same goals, but my end-goal was to have some treelike serialization (JSON/X

This was the subject of one of the lectures I took in Biophysics at the TU Delft in the Netherlands, great to see this talked about. A lot of our intuitions about motion is based on the old swimming idea of "I'll kick a vortex of

It's testimony to the power of the effect, though, that the two times Matt uses (sic) [when decoding "rscheearch" as "research" and "researcher"] he uses it incorrectly. Possibly some copy-editor has fixed

I like to think it's that the sound of rain is so relaxing that I am just in a state of pure comfort and that's why I don't want to get out of bed. I also have a folder of rain sounds collected off of archive.org and some o

Unfortunately, yes. The law legally protects anything which you might use to gain unauthorized access; that includes e.g. a password field. (That is, it is indeed breaking into a system if you type in the correct password, say by reading it

Unfortunately that would not work in this case: in this case they created an unauthorized copy of the work on their own server for the purposes of redistribution; therefore they had full control over the HTTP headers.

This is more traditional meditation; mindfulness is something which is also practiced in a sort of everyday life, but here's a 5-minute guide to meditating. So the first thing you need that's often sadly overlooked is a special pl

Searching through the comments here, only one of them mentions SAM, which is the point of the article. Some nuanced thought about what's going on here is therefore warranted. So let's start with old-school Smalltalk's MVC: th

Well, maybe. I would instead say that the rapid churn of social networks is a "reincarnation"-type solution to the problem. Fry's leaving of Twitter is precisely the answer to the problem. To see why, let's focus on what

The insane thing here is that Spotify could just change the incentive structure and then it wouldn't have to take drastic action. "You will gain 0.00x cents per listen, up to a maximum of 100 listens/day for any individu

Yes. In theory there is a programming paradigm which fixes this, called "aspect oriented programming." I haven't seen a really accessible aspect-oriented system however.

Speaking as a physicist who knows QM, this is almost-correct. More precisely, the chemical effects of microwave photons are restricted to being the sort of effects that routinely happen within your body all the time due to the thermal jig

The question presented is not whether it makes a stylistic difference visible to those in-the-know but rather whether it makes a motivational difference visible in the actions of the mud-people. Those are two very different questions.

Well the phrase "trophy wife" doesn't exist on this web page and I would say that the expression itself is not sexist (because you could also have a "trophy husband" and everyone would understand what it means), but

I wonder if this could be solved temporarily by simply placing the 3D printer in a clear plastic trash bag -- or would that lead to overheating?

It's not magic -- it's some form of crude error. So first off what this does is, it expands to the expression: '-o /dev/null' '-o /dev/null ' Even if we remove the latter space by j
