It still seems like a massively gray area: despite the distinction between "would jeopardize" and "could jeopardize" as explained by TFA, the definition of "jeopardize" includes "danger" which means &

I guess the main difference is that a WAF attempts to spot things like injection (unbalanced delimiters, SQL keywords in HTTP payloads where SQL shouldn't exist, etc.) typically without knowledge of the schema, whereas GP is talking ab

Is there anything available to learn about this on a domain with a high reputation, such as an academic journal? I realize even those aren't perfect, however.

Simpson (from Simon) is an interesting one. Most of the consonant adjustments are for simplification (e.g., Robkins -> Robins, and Adkins -> Atkins) but expanding Sim to Simp seems like an outlier in this sense because Simson doesn&#x

Fascinating! I've played with VW's BCM stuff, but for some reason everything except the lighting is translated into English on the common factory equivalent scan tools, so it's a matter of sorting though a bunch of "lich

For sure. I summarized my particular sensitivity too aggressively earlier, but I tend to see flicker straight on up to 65 Hz and peripherally up to 120 Hz if it's particularly egregious (i.e., long valleys) but usually up to something

Sony won, not Philips. It seems that the rationale is like so: a higher rate would not be compatible with both NTSC and PAL VCRs, and a lower rate would shrink the transition band for the antialiasing filter (or alternatively, reduce usable

What's the cause? Alternators run at very high frequencies with good rectifiers, so I'm guessing the flicker is introduced by PWM dimming, but why would that be a low enough frequency to bother people? I'm sensitive to flicke

It's a bit confusing that folks who consider Taiwan a province and not a country wouldn't take issue (or at least see it as a minor issue relative to the presence of a flag) with it being included among ISO country codes. In other

Regardless of what the upstream rebuttal is (i.e., Unicode's mission as you explained), I think it makes sense for the downstream entity (i.e., Windows) to simply indicate inheritance from upstream as a rebuttal to any pressure.

Yeah, I hear "flow 86" nearly rhyming with "486" when I squint. As in, I've got a personal 386 and a work486 at my desk.

Indeed, a good Codenames-playing bot should know how to do all of this, in addition to using its LLM to generate great clues.

You have a valid point, to which I'll concede. The rule book gives an example (spanning pages 4-5) where a guesser uses prior clues to select a card while the count is still within the number stated by the spymaster, but I suppose an a

You're free to add additional prohibitions on communication as a house rule I guess, but the only prohibition in the rule book I've seen is that the clue giver's speech must consist exclusively of clues (and private consultat

The S-tier tactic: When that high-number clue is cut short by a turn-ending mistake, the guessers tell their clue giver to inflate the number given during the totally unrelated next clue by however many remained from the truncated turn for

It's a bit more than that: There are analog clocks where all hands move continuously (like when there's a second hand with no discernable beats). There are analog clocks where all hands move discreetly once per second (60 BPM for

That something can simultaneously be impossible and sensible is peculiar. It almost suggests that the technique has merely not yet been figured out. Secrets fail unsafe. Maybe an alternative doesn't.
