I'd bet to 2:1 that it won't happen. Few people will bother, and the people that do get this tool are the type of people that that cause disproportionate issues if you anger them.

So just a thought I had reading this. Can't you do arbitrary metaprogramming in basically any language by just adding a single keyword... STOPPARSE It would be defined as causing the normal parser to stop, and any text / bytes aft

It makes sense if you think of those influencers like brands. Buying Kardashian-endorsed makeup is quite similar to buying (dr John Harvey) Kellogs endorsed breakfast cereal.

I don't understand how people not smell if they shower less than daily. Is it a matter of using fabrics and poses that let your sweat breathe before it starts smelling?

Kind of like trying nonces until you find one that gives you a hash with lots of leading zeros? Dotchain?

Yeah someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it makes more sense to continental Europe was on the edge of the Mediterranean culture rather than saying that that the Mediterranean sea was at the edge of the European culture. And th

I'm pretty sure he means a single byte-valued parameter. As you mention a single parameter is not enough to fully describe the polarization but maybe it's good enough - I guess you would average across colors, and say circular pol

Shouldn't it be p-2, too?

Yes. I think the main reason is that json maps so nicely to native types like dict, list, string and double. xml is usually deserialized to a dom object and accessing the right things is a bit more annoying and complicated. Another thing wi

I think a lot of people have an instinctively negative reaction to xml because json is so much nicer for data. But for documents and document-like things such as user interfaces, I think tag based markup is a good fit. I mean html is doing

I thought of a better example to illustrate my point here. Cryptocurrencies. Someone into cypherpunk ideology is better able to evaluate which cryptocurrencies have technical innovation and potential vs which are just memy also-ran shitcoin

Well consider a system built on the assumption of conservation of energy. Then a few product iterations the system might start leaking energy into the environment. Maybe it's the neodymium magnet in some unrelated component leading to

I think we are coming to realize that we are quantitatively different rather than qualitatively different. Animals can count (but not very high). They can use tools (but not very advanced ones). They can communicate (but not very well). The

One aspect they forgot about is information asymmetry. If you are a customer of a company you are better able to evaluate the company. A right-winger is better able to evaluate say parler vs truth social than a left-winger would be and thus

A lot of what makes c string handling hard to use is the decision they made that api's should write into a user supplied buffer rather allocate one for you.

Will it refuse to run on older versions of windows or silently do the wrong thing?

I would argue that for a mathematician, the primary anchor is other mathematicians reading their proofs and complaining that it doesn't seem quite right. What anchors the mathematical community as a whole is applications - physics, cry

I just find it hilarious that old.reddit is one version, new.reddit is another, and www.reddit is yet another.

To me the most impressive thing is the arms servicing each other. When they can self replicate it could potentially have big consequences. I have a dream that we put self-replicating robots on Mars and let them build a mostly by-robots for-

I mean the article explains the original author did take explicit steps to keep the Nodes fixed in memory (std::list), because they knew it could be a problem if the Nodes moved. They just got tripped up by an obscure language feature that

You think of orchard owners, but that's not the image it conjures for me. I remember the neighborhood of my childhood. The fruit trees there were 90% decoration. Usually someone would pick one (1) fruit whenever they felt like getting

Well to paraphrase a common saying, it's easy to build a bridge that stands, but it's difficult to make sure that is so optimized that it's on the verge of failing but still somehow stands.

I think this isn't motivated by security at all. That it messed up the backdoor was a complete coincidence.

If nuclear dna is the source code then these cellular endosymbionts are similar to the attack in reflections on trusting trust. They are not part of the source code, but rather a self-perpetuating feature of the compiled binary.
