According to the microformat inside the HTML, it was published today: "datePublished": "2021-11-02 00:00:00 +0000" But the resignation email of Joey Hess was sent on 2014-11-07, seven years ago. Unfortunately, t

This was after Gilgamesh, fearing death, tried to gain immortality and failed. He's back to his town, but he's not afraid any more. I loved this poignant ending: he's not bitter; cities are there to stay through buildings (wa

I can solve some NP complete problems. Actually I did solve a few, meaning I used tools or wrote code that found optimal solutions. Recently, I used SAT solvers. NP-complete does not mean that any problem in this class is hard to solve, it&

As a first step toward your wish, I suggest using mycli or pgcli on servers instead of the default mysql or pgsql client. By default, it asks for confirmation whenever you type a destructive command. It does have a log, just like the offici

Most people use "order of magnitude" to mean "by a factor 10". I've always thought this was inappropriate. The origin of this expression is that the scientific use of magnitude implies a logarithmic scale. But &quot

Putting the key in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ gives it too much power over all the repositories. A malicious (maybe compromised) third party repository could publish a package that replace an official Debian package. So tru

The second sentence of the article gives a sufficient timeline. > I've reported four 0-day vulnerabilities this year between March 10 and May 4 So the vulnerabilities were reported at least 140 days ago. He also mentions 3 upgrades

If a web site claimed it was "Programming Languages - The Complete List", with a list of a few dozens items, would it be popular? It would describe POP-1 in one sentence, same as Lua, B or Caml. Some influential languages would b

I think your comment is misleading. What was "encouraged" during the Cape Town water crisis was not "small scale efforts". There were details like forbidding hand-washing in some places (replaced by hand sanitizers), but

As far as I know, the standard tool for this is rdfind. This new tool claims to be "blazingly fast", so it should provide something to show it. Ideally a comparison with rdfind, but even a basic benchmark would make it less dubiou

No, yarn and npm don't have the same CLI API. For instance, the most basic command that adds a dependency : npm install [package] yarn add [package] Even the options for this command are different (--save-dev vs --dev). In fact, the si

My experience is that VP9 is often a better choice than HEVC. The article mostly compared x265 to x264 because vp9 was not endorsed by Apple. That is no more the case, and I've found VP9 anime videos to have better quality at similar b

Among modern humans, brain size is correlated to body size, meaning that, on average, a taller being has a bigger brain, and vice versa. Assuming that brain size is correlated to intelligence implies that, on average, taller people are more

The Greek alphabet was derived from the Phoenician alphabet, and the fact that it replaced the local writing and spread quickly suggests that a simpler technique of writing can win. I think the trend you see is the most common behavior. Bu
