Two more: Ada is a name, not an abbreviation. It should be written "Ada" and not "ADA". --- Keywords in Ada should be written in lower case letters: It is a common misconceptions that Ada enforces or encourages upper cas

There is a big difference between writing meant for public distribution and personal notes. The point of a Zettelkasten (or any notes) is not to build a comprehensive encyclopedia, but to support and augment your work. I don’t necessarily a

I’m sorry, what is your point? I legitimately don’t understand what you mean.

Yes. That is called NCMEC in the US and it is a core aspect of how this whole process works. If you don’t understand the details of this, I’ll recommend this podcast episode which sums it up and discusses the implications https:/&#x2

The book “VLSI test principles and architectures: deign for testability” edited by Laung-Terng Wang et al, is quite good.

My impression, knowing very few who has attended højskole, is that people do it for their own personal fulfillment and enjoyment. Socially, I’d say that it is respected and regarded as a sign of dedication to ones interests.

I understand your sentiment – I’d expect NASA to have some overhead – but, as you asked, who else is building space telescopes? How do we determine if the cost of a telescope is “too high”? What kind of mission profiles should be targeted?

Who’s theory? JWST costs upwards to 9 billion USD. An Ariane 5 launch maybe 200 million. Just because the launch is cheaper doesn’t make the rest of the project less complicated and costly.

I am about at the end of my PhD* (a few months left) and my supervisor's advice still rings true: try to keep the feedback loops short. If you have to spend months figuring out if something is worth doing, then it becomes rather risky

If you read their responses and messages then they tell you exactly why they are interested in certain data and how they decided to respond to the outrage -- the _Audacity developer's responses_, not random people who are misinformed.

What if I told you that it is, in fact, opt-out and explicitly made easy to disable in the build config? Don't you think it is a bit of an overreaction to say that "Audacity is now joining the ranks [...] of Google, Microsoft, &lt

Given that they devote a section of the notes to discussing efforts in supporting multiple architectures and, explicitly, GCC, you'd figure that some do find those efforts are worthwhile and relevant.

In the post they mention two efforts to use GCC for compiling Rust.

It totally is a sensible point. In fact, _all_ file formats, SQLite or not, has to deal with untrusted data, which will involve some kind of integrity check.

I had some rather large SQLite databases so I just wanted to get a rough idea of the impact: Size (MB) Quick (s) Integrity (s) 8 0.061 0.47 76 0.39 1.8 582 2.8 13.

It is a bit strange that the SQLite developers recommend SQLite as an application file format [0], but at the same time warn against opening database files from unknown sources [1]. In fact, their advice on using the `integrity_check` and `

This case has nothing to do with urbanism but has to do with how the environmental impact of the project is measured. Put simply, despite planning and projecting the entire project, the environmental impact is done piece by piece. This vast

Except the recommendation is made outside of the government and parliament. And some parties are even arguing for giving people a choice.

Update. I tried the `file -u` example you gave above and the `-u` flag doesn't exist in my version of `file`. I also find it a bit hilarious that the example lists `ed` as the editor of choice.
