Waiving aside the practical applications for a second, remember that this is an art to us. We have a canvas and a set of paints, and we make stuff out of it. Exploring the limits of that medium is part of the fun, but also part of understan

I always thought of the heuristics for evaluating a chess position as the really hard part of building a chess engine; i.e. how do you capture all of the positional subtleties in a number to feed into minimax? But looking at the source, it&

I remember how unpopular it was when it came out. It made a lot of sense to try; not being able to follow the puck around really was a common complaint about hockey, and the NHL, as ever, was trying to expand its base. But if you watch even

Which also shows the evolution of the yellow line idea: another line (usually blue) for the line of scrimmage, which turns out to be really useful. I think I've also seen a line for maximum field goal range.

That's actually the price of warfare. We have a habit of just pretending everyone's being killed and mutilated for freedom because it's a lot more comfortable that way. Makes their sacrifice seem worthwhile and not just a hor

Did you see my edit above? I think you're right based on working back through the Wikipedia FHE article, but I also think it would mean executing every possible path, i.e. you'd need to at least evaluate "hello world" an

EDIT: I should disclaim that I have exactly no expertise here. This is all me having fun speculating. I think you're being too handwavy about what FHE is capable of. FHE means that specific operations performed on encrypted data result

I haven't used the latest version of Jekyll, but from having used older ones, I can say Middleman definitely feels more flexible to me, in terms of how its configured. See my comment elsewhere in this subthread for more color on that.

From Middleman's site: "Middleman ships with support for the ERb, Haml, Sass, Scss and CoffeeScript engines." I swap in a middleman-slim plugin, though.

I've used both, and I got a lot more flexibility and familiarity out of Middleman. It's built as a web application framework that saves all its rendered pages as HTML, so it feels more like setting up a Sinatra app than anything e

Oh I see. It's that it hasn't yet executed the injection itself. Not sure why I missed that, thanks.

I don't understand why the browser treats the script injection case differently than the blocking script tag case, insofar as blocking on CSSOM is concerned. Why doesn't the browser download the script right away and then just hol

Yes, you need a pipeline to pull this off, but maybe not as big of one as you think. Some advice: * Be OK being idle sometimes. If you double your prices and get 2/3 the work, you're way ahead. And that time isn't wasted; use

I have no doubt that all sorts of stuff slips through the cracks in all sorts of ways. I've certainly had really problematic hires. My issue is I'm trying to square "you have problematic female hires? I bet you just have bad

So? The point of the post is that they think the article's author must have poor hiring practices and cites their own experience hiring as evidence. That's a perfectly reasonable line of argument and I'm not even defending th

You have employees with outstanding arrest warrants and domestic violence issues? It kind of sounds like you also need to reevaluate your hiring practices... Edit: I'd like to encourage people responding to this to consider the context
