The cutting solution is a bit more easy to follow, in my opinion... http://imgur.com/gallery/eBQq4

Correct. If it helps, the given diagram clearly has exactly one edge and exactly one surface.

There's lots of hate for Peak Web here, which I totally understand, but it sounds to me like the problem really stems from Machine Zone shopping around for the cheapest possible contract. Maybe I'm just biased because I know that

It's slightly better because at that point presumably you've failed auditing standards for many browsers, not just one. We're talking about "you tried to deliberately compromise security and get away with it by deliber

That's not what was being asked; what was being asked is "why wouldn't you want to persist some bits from a previous emission to a current one?" and the answer is "you do; it helps you in threat models where the att

They're using something very similar to your second algorithm, but the structure is in fact baked into SHA3, and in fact your second approach essentially takes their literal suggestion and modifies it by, every round, zeroing some of t

Thanks for that first link, it looks very promising. My problem is that I already idiosyncratically try to understand spacetime in terms of spin-vectors,* so this is going to take a bunch of trying to map out a Rosetta stone to translate be

I mean, yes. I'm evaluating the teaching industry as a whole as being more competitive than the sports industry . I think you're mistaking different measures of competition, though, and we're possibly talking about the s

Probably the most substantial difference is iteration. A footballer gets many games per year with many moments per game to potentially shine or fail publicly, with stats that can be evaluated year after year. Your success as a teacher can s

Yeah, I would have expected that a domain called "Cafe Hayek" and a post title of "Thinking at the Margin: It's Revolutionary" would have noticed that it's not a supply-side surplus that drives down these wages

Right, the problem is that the generic term for what you're building is an "office suite." It's almost a cliche for these to have had "office" somewhere in the title; I know "WPS Office" is a thing in

The problem is that you don't want to be the kid who cried wolf, you don't want to be endorsing crying wolf, and you in fact maybe even want to punish the newspapers who cried wolf and said you were responsible for the cry. SETI w

My uncle Guus has been playing viola with an orchestra in the Netherlands for many, many years; he gave me a great way to describe some of this: > When I was young, and my beard was not this gray, and someone at the orchestra was angry w

I'm pretty sure that was intentional. Choices like that can sometimes keep a certain sort of person out of a budding community, and even though they are a localized pocket of worldsuck, may decrease worldsuck globally.

Happy birthday! Pandoc is one of those things that I only recently discovered and totally fell in love with: I wrote a bunch of code in literate Haskell for work, so that I could have the logic right, and then ported it to JS to reduce the

I mean, the people who have adopted Pokemon Go are now connecting with each other outside in their cities' public spaces, often reconnecting with old friends to go out together. I'm not sure this was intentional on the app designe

In fact they're both right. Indeed this is at the bottom of a hill, but the intersection in question happens to be behind a small hump in the road, conveniently covered in a shadow in Google Street View (whereas the road behind it is b

I can't help but think that that executable could have been much smaller, like < 50 lines, in Haskell. First stab at it, with less-rich command-line arguments: import Prelude hiding (getContents) import Control.Exception

I do not know if you are aware of how little sense this comment makes. For example, it is in the very structure of the words "disingenuous" and "consider" that the sentence "X is disingenuous; consider Y" is no

Ugh. Internet arguments are the worst. 1. I did not say that you said that those emails were about Bernie; I said that those emails could be about Bernie, because it's something that I do regard as a live possibility. I was just

I was talking in particular about the use of profanity in a working environment, of course. I do not know what you are reading into those emails but speaking purely objectively, there is remarkably little content in them to go off of. It co

None of them are particularly interesting, though. So far I'm pretty surprised with how pedestrian it is. Even looking for the word "fuck" reveals few internal communications which use it. In one thread, some guy seems to hav

If people around here are interested in this idea, I would just like to point out that this is basically what embedding miniKanren (a super-simple logic programming DSL) in your programming language lets you do. You write "give me all

There's also a sort of "common sense" explanation relying on really basic physics: Let's say you want to turn left. We know from experience that you will be leaning left when you turn: meaning, your weight is going to be

That's because this is a speculation; e.g. "this obvious opportunity is not the proof" is admitted in the text itself. As mentioned, the requirement is the ability to correlate two different traffic signals: from your compute

I mean, that's certainly a great ideal. The real world is somewhat less-than. I don't fault anyone for having to maintain a legacy codebase developed by people who rolled their own, say, JSON-parsing functions. (If you want to see

IE and Edge never actually "passed" Acid3 either; as I recall they typically got to scores of 100 but would lag on two numbers, I want to say they were 25 and 69, whereas the test explicitly says that the animation needs to be flu
