One widely discussed study, for instance, judges students on their ability to parse the muddy and semantically tortuous opening of “Bleak House”; this is a little like assessing swimmers on their ability to cross fifty yards of molasse

I'm not convinced that the SWE crowd of HN, particularly the crowd showing up to every thread about AI 'agents' really knows what it takes to run a global network or what a NOC is. I know saying this on here runs the risk of

Simply put, these are some of the greatest stories ever told and can teach about the world, its history, and the fundamental questions of the human experience. "Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth." - Albert Camus

It's comments like this that remind me I'm on HN. Let's be honest for a minute - take a sci-fi book of the shelf, any of them, current (Weir, Pierce Brown, etc) or classic (Asimov, PKD, etc). Almost always, you will find pape

> Lord of the Rings didn't explain anything either. Yeah, and LOTR is in Middle-Earth, a fantastical world that isn't Earth. The point of the term "magical realism" is that there is still "realism". It'

Yes, and the amount of people being taught to read was a lot lower than "basically everyone" (assuming we're talking about the developed countries where this is measured). Literature being considered a hobby anyone can get in

For one I think it would break all those "update your BIOS via your motherboard website" apps that probably shouldn't exist anyways. There probably are some legitimate uses, but I'm straining to come up with them.

Not sure why the questions asking about what differentiates this (if anything) from NAT64 are getting flagged in this thread.

Sure, but a union is supposed to work better, so if it isn't, by definition it's to some degree corrupted. So it's important to remember that the union itself isn't a bad thing. A union is supposed to provide for workers

Once I had a professor who had a top secret clearance and did some government work. He couldn't reference this because it's never been unclassified. But in one of his courses, he had an image of these two circles aligned just like

Does this vuln have a CVE number, or other details? Just curious, since from the posts explaining things this doesn't seem to be based on memory corruption.

I love this one. The neat thing about TOTP is that while the algorithm itself is simple, the algorithms it depends on are also relatively simple, at least for cryptography. For HMAC you just need SHA1, and that can be implemented relatively

It's how you keep the people that can't pay for 'consultants' that simply know the admissions teams out.

Maps are to be read. If you want a subway map to frame for your apartment, then the current/old one looks nice, but the new one is just easier to read - particularly in a moving subway car, through a dirty pane, and from 3 feet away. E

Definitely enjoy the scenery. I've done Bletchley and the National Cryptologic Museum, the former is in a genuinely beautiful location, especially if you have sun.

Okay, so ignoring a lawful order is unlawful. It's still not 'disappearing' someone if you know where they are. There are also some people you could argue are being disappeared because their whereabouts aren't published.

Eating sustainable meat from local farms has never been bad for the environment, which is what this article actually says as well. Of course plants are less. Also, this article looks extremely deceptive. "Feed and excreta at the bottom

I've sort of been leaning towards Kobo already, primarily because of the recent Kindle changes. Koreader would be great so I think I'll keep looking there. Is it possible to read articles on Kobo devices? From what I understand th
