Sabotage seems totally plausible, considering that one company is making surprising progress towards us becoming a space faring species. Aliens also seems totally plausible, for the same reason. If we're going to go nuts over pure spec

Forgive my ignorance, but why would anyone ever need to parse an SVG server side? Now that you got me thinking, SVG might be a decent, if somewhat large, format for accepting sketches from users. Something like "draw a map, and we&#x27

Expert here! We need to wait and see if the angular velocity accelerates exponentially. Until then, we can't be certain that there is any hazard. You may all go back to work now. We'll measure its angle regularly and bill your ins

I would be tempted to sort of accidentally drop the package, just so that I could guess what it is by the sound it makes.

It always starts underground. When it breaks out into the mainstream, it won't even be a movement anymore, it will just be life as usual. That green lock will be gone from the browser, along with any protocols that do not end in "

Names are cheap. If you need to buy them in bulk as a commodity, that can be arranged. I was lucky to work in the tame minority of the fishing industry, but we sure heard our fair share of horror stories from the boats registered out of the

So, move expensive operations outside of the web processes. Looks like the Flask community has worked out good ways of doing that. Seems legit, answers my question :)

Yeah, I was running it under gunicorn. But that still leaves you with a small number of concurrent connections. If you want to have long connections, for something like long polling or websockets, then being limited to one request per CPU c

Does anyone have experience running Flask at scale? I used it once, for a small internal reporting service, and was shocked to find that it was designed to process only a single request at a time, per process. Is this a problem in the real

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Distractions suck - having a system to manage them is good. Pushing people to use it is necessary.

Agreed, human equivalent AI is probably several hundreds of years off, at best. but we don't need anything that sophisticated to trigger an "overlords" scenario. I'm picturing something like a very good legal AI, being a

Or, more practically, an interrogator could just remind you of a time when you logged in to a particular account, and then try to capture a password as you relive the memory.

I expect someone to figure out a way to exfiltrate upcoming passwords by analyzing the EM radiation of these aptly named CNiFERs. Imagine, an attacker knowing your next password before you begin to type it for the first time }:)

This is what will make the difference between us becoming the cybernetic overlords, and us getting crushed underneath of them. Whatever powers we grant to the machines, it is critical that we also take these powers for ourselves.

Based on my own anecdotal experience with hiring developers, the m/f ratio is highly unbalanced before our own biases even come into play. A while ago, we had a recruiting agent helping us to find candidates, based solely on a list of

TE: under represented, SM: over represented, at my uni, anyway. This whole thing is way overblown, imo. If, for some reason, far more women want to be doctors than engineers, then good for them. The last thing we need are grumpy doctors who

Yep, if there was ever a game that deserved a custom game engine, it would be Kerbal Space Program. The version of Unity that they used constrained them to 3.5 gb, and 32 bit floating point coordinates, in a game that deserves a true scale

You could stash a helpful little Asimo in the trunk. It would be like a trunkmonkey, except without the tire iron ;) But that could also be a far, dystopian-future option: agile I-Robot style bots that leaps out of the trunk to beat down an
