I think it's rather peculiar to come to the conclusion that there is little information for other countries. 1. Using various policies, Iceland has been able to strongly reduce the amount of substance abuse in their country. 2. Other c

I'd say the risk of replay attack is not proportional to the risk of authenticating and authorizing on a fully compromised machine. It's comparing a candle light with a blazing fire. A definition issue with regard to "token&q

If you do not trust your hardware, 2FA is of no use. All communication and display can be MITMed on the untrusted computer. It gives the appearance of a normal login, but the behavior of the trusted site or system is emulated. The real user

I started using Blender in 2000. Cheatsheets with hot-keys did not exist, tutorials could still be counted and YouTube had not been invented yet. All I got was a short introduction by Ton Roosendaal. So, you might assume I had a horrible us

I'm always slightly sad to see a reference to TeXmacs [1], while it is not developed anymore. Does anyone know why the project has been abandoned? Always amazed by the beautiful layout of the interface. [1] https://www.cerem

This is why a doctor won't tell his patient: "stop FOO". Instead, they might nudge him with information. Respecting the patients knowledge and struggle, a doctor is understanding, supporting and able to connect with others wh

For me a doctor is much more than someone with domain knowledge and access to medical services. My experiences, however, are purely with dutch doctors. A good doctor, especially when treating chronic patients, forms an essential part of the

I understand your reasoning, but it is based on incorrect assumptions. The first assumption you make is that we actually know how pre-18th century music sounded like. We have guesses, some better than others, but we know that we are likely

Interesting. I noticed the LiFX bulbs before via OpenHAB. Seems to tick a lot of good checkboxes and I will certainly look into it more. My rant about IoT was obviously pointed at the useless IoT toys currently flooding the market.

So true. When I first read about IoT, about a decade ago, I thought of it as a miniaturized and decentralized , semi-autonomous client and server systems design. The fundamental problem of the current take on IoT is a misunderstanding of t

Software is unpredictable because there is little demand for predictability. As it is a trade-off, predictability requires experience. Inexperienced application of methods to enhance predictability is expensive. Speaking from experience: -

The web of trust is fundamentally flawed and for very simple reasons. First of all, the WoT is based on belief networks. What is a belief? Is it based on a probability? Is it binary? Can we believe something negatively? Whatever it is, we k

If you like SDR, you should definitely have a look at GNU Radio Companion (GRC) [1]. A nice introduction into the methods of GRC is given by Michael Ossmann [2], which is really worth checking out. [1] http://gnuradio.org/re

Equality is an often overlooked complexity in denotational semantics. Dijkstra wrote an EWD [1] on the subject, which should give insight into the difficulties of this presumably simple relation. In most languages, I prefer to think of equa
