Grass shoulder: http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0724-102... I agree that it probably presented some level of danger to the public, but I maintain that (i) the added danger was small r

Jeep and uConnect have endangered people's lives – likely an order of magnitude more people. If it's as simple as that, do you support criminal charges for them too? Because playing in traffic almost seems more intelligent than ho

This is also the checklist for most of the traffic that's currently driving on US interstate highways.

I've never had the police even bother to show up in those cases.

Slowing down and eventually driving off on to a grass shoulder wouldn't even crack the bottom 1% of crazy shit I've seen people do on highways, on purpose. IMO, the danger to the public caused by the researchers somewhat-controlle

I guess any substantially-advanced failure mode is bound to be multi-factorial. Makes sense; thanks for the reply.

The word 'loss' does not appear on that page. There's a world of difference IMO between a rejected operation (which is what I would assume from that description – that the address space exhaustion would be detected and the da

Postgres 9.4 even has `jsonb` and GIN indexes, which in a lot of ways provides nicer schemaless storage than some of the NoSQL databases provide. You're also free to mix in traditional relational tables (since `jsonb` is a data type li

Oh, almost certainly worse, unless Rasmus Lerdorf is going on another mailing list tirade and flaming them directly.

Unintended pregnancies exist, and people have sex. But you're not going to get pulled over and cited for sexing without a license, because it tends to happen in private. So how should an insurance company verify that someone isn'

FWIW, PHP 4.x was completely awful for large and/or OOP codebases due to the totally insane copy-by-default semantics, the need to use &= perfectly at every call site that returned an instance of a class, and a handful of reference

And I'd be happy to pay for car insurance IF AND WHEN I get in to an accident in my own car. You don't get an insurance discount for naively believing that you won't make mistakes, or for believing that undesirable things won

Honestly-not-being-snarky question: how long do you give it until insurance companies start erecting barriers (e.g. preauthorization) to in-person visits?

No problem. For what it's worth, I've had luck just using the AWS EC2 web console, and choosing "Create Image" and "No reboot" from the instance's context menu. That spits out an EBS snapshot and an EBS-ba

The most insecure channel is likely the insurance company that's retains your medical records (sorry, "billing data") indefinitely. I'm three for three on past health insurers getting hacked and disclosing everything, an

Would you be willing to publish an AMI of the completed image? Seems like that'd make it really easy to run without all of the package management work.

Everywhere I've worked has had an IP policy that was agreed/signed at the same time as all of the new-hire paperwork. The ones I've signed essentially said "if you develop it on your own time and equipment and it's

Is that different than the bitmap index access method, which IIRC landed in 8.1 or so, and is used to combine results of multiple index scans?

Right, that's why I'm confused. If n is the number of pixels, then 4 million operations would be linear-time as far as I can tell. Wonder if the author took n to be the width/height of the image.

The slightly-shorter 0.60000000000000000, 0.60000000000000001, 0.60000000000000002 will break it too, for what it's worth. If you punch those in to a Javascript console, you can see that the FP representation of all three is 0.6.

Okay, now I'm curious: how'd they manage to get O(n^2) asymptotic complexity out of what looks like a relatively simple semi-transparent photo overlay?

Or, to spin it just as hard the other way: a bunch of people gave up half of their waking hours for years in order to help make your something-cool business successful, and accepted your money in exchange for that assistance. They could hav

FWIW, a lot of US public assistance programs (including TANF) already have minimum-length-of-residency and work credit requirements for people who aren't US citizens: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-pub
