These simulations are great. With the balance example if you move the clock back and forth at resonance frequency, you can get it really twisted up so it doesn't work: https://postimg.cc/xXFgbxtn

Props to them for not locking out older browsers as many sites are doing these days.

So the trick is to disguise it as an accident. Have the zip bomb look like a real HTML file at the beginning, then have zeroes after that, like it got corrupted.

Anger is often the only way to motivate action, since when you were calm you didn't care about solving it.

Apps are like subscriptions, a way to get their claws into your stuff and continually drain whatever they can from you.

Seems like the proper fix would have been to remove the file from the server when they realized the increased traffic. Then clients would just fail to check the update each time and not tie up bandwidth.

Why would you want to use a linear color space for something meant for eyes?

They can also store things for later upload. A phone in airplane mode still isn't safe.

I think you misunderstood my question (to be charitable). It was to focus on policies (rather than personalities and people), and which ones(s) one was opposed to. If there no opposition to the policies themselves, does it really matter if

I really hope someone makes them talk like in Bladerunner. "Walk walk walk walk walk... Don't walk don't walk don't walk don't walk."

And it talks about "translating Windows code into ARM", and using a just-in-time compiler. It sounds like perhaps it's "compiling" ARM into ARM, because the original ARM can't be run due to Apple's restric

Of the proposed policy changes, which ones do you consider not backed by facts? These are the things that actually matter.

> emulates Windows 11 inside iPadOS by translating Windows code into ARM instructions Do they mean x86 instructions, or Windows system calls? Regardless, there is a Windows 11 ARM64 build so I wonder why they aren't using this.

Agreed. Definitions are made to differentiate things in a way useful for some goal. The question "Is X an M?" without a context or goal basically picks up whatever vague goals or purposes a person has lingering below the surface o

Sorry for being so hard on it. I looked at the intro page again and see now that it's not what I was thinking, where you have a large database of good photos with known dates it can choose from, instead each day your curate (I assume)

I had visual migraines for years, and was thankful they weren't full-blown... until I started getting headaches that lasted 18+ hours (pretty sure they're migraines). Now I'm just thankful I don't have multi-day-long one

I wondered whether any display issues caused some to have no difference. I wonder whether it could somehow do a test to be sure your display is up to the task. It's annoying not knowing whether it's a visual limitation or hardware

It could rearrange the discs each time to avoid this issue, perhaps just flipping the pattern vertically each time.

I like things I can improve my skill on. This works by getting a stream of feedback as I study what I did and the errors I made, then try again with changes. Having only 5 rounds a day (assuming it resets each day) greatly limits this. This

I wanted to play more but couldn't find any way. Refresh page, no new game link, tried entering URL again. Checked but no cookies to delete. That's one way to ensure I never visit the site again.

The right response is to use AI to write a reply that is verbose and clearly sounds like AI.

I'd at least just read all the used blocks on the drive. partclone is the most efficient that comes to mind, because it just copies used sectors. Just redirect to /dev/null. partclone.filesystem --source /dev/

Imagine a future where virtual reality systems use these colors and make reality seem drab and undesirable. I wonder whether visual phenomena like ocular migraines (visual/aura) also create colors beyond normal ones triggered by light.

Agreed. I'm not seeing any use of a automatic profiler to find the hot spots of one's code. If you don't know that, you're aiming blind on what to optimize and how much. The only profiling mentioned is something manual y

Free tax programs are what allow taxes to become so complex that you need a program (or paid CPA) to help fill them out. I refuse to have to get a program to fill them out. A big benefit of filling out yourself is knowing how to minimize th

Expanding, a framework allows components to work together, the OS being the most common example. Most languages also define a framework for the program to fit into. Startup initialization, main routine, shutdown, memory allocation. Without
