Heh, I chose an approximation of τ and then 99.999999. I'm not as original as I thought!

It's a matter of effort/reward. Yes, you can advertise for free or very cheap on the Internet, but it's harder to achieve the same amount of success as if you were paying and requires you to put in more work, like engaging wi

It would only take a motherboard with a PCIe slot and an unlocked bootloader to circumvent that strategy. You would use it to flash the firmware in whatever device you want to unlock and then use it on the computer with the locked bootloade

Yeah, and 1366x768 is only really still around in the very low end or the very small.

The link doesn't load (connection timed out), so I'm only going by the headline - do they also want to "lock down" software defined radios, like the HackRF?

Hmm. It could be done with an ESP8266 and little more. I might put something together if I find the time.

Not if you make security your number one goal from the beginning. But "letting the community rewrite the site" would be very complicated, especially on a niche website such as Project Euler, where a lot of its users are opinionate

Besides, infecting the computers in a nuclear plant is not as easy as sending a technician a tweet with a link to the .exe or pulling a trigger thousands of miles away. We still don't know how they infected the Iranian nuclear plant, s

When you start lowering the frequency and going further, you can have a path loss exponent of up to 4, so you have to be wary of reflections from the atmosphere. [1] Radio engineering is really interesting. [1] https://en.wikiped

The amount of mathematics that goes into automating faceswaps is awesome. The fact that anyone can do this at home with the sole purpose of generating a funny image is great!

Computers might not care if text is white on white, but humans do. So just because the text is in the DOM doesn't necessarily mean it'll get indexed. It's definitely in Google's interest to fight against techniques like

Looks like you did the legwork of listing the params already, so you might as well send a PR with that docstring.

The easiest way I found to describe the differences between science and engineering (and I think about this fairly often) is by analogy with learning how to drive a (manual) car. There are a few key skills one needs to master to be able to

I also assumed Mattermost supported IRC, without even checking. It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't, but I wonder how easy it'd be to add support for IRC in Mattermost, given that we have the source code?

Interesting how they don't mention anything about the bloatware in that "SourceForge Open Source Mirror Directory" page.

>For C, I'd say the biggest benefit is that you can absorb a clearer picture of how parts of your project are using other parts, because your .c files have to directly include the headers they use. It may just be that this is the sp

They're not there for "no reason". For example, if I use a type defined in some external header, I definitely need to include that in the .h, so I might as well just include everything else. Besides, in my mind it's the

by jdiez17 11y ago
Why? Most of those headers are going to be guarded against multiple inclusions anyway, and it's a nice way to list the dependencies of the module.
412.
by jdiez17 11y ago
The header file should basically only contain: * The dependencies (includes) of the implentation * A list of function signatures, data structures it provides, etc * Any constant definition specific to the module Another "feature"

Very interesting links, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Android's speech recognition, but it seems to work offline as well. I wonder if they offload the computation to their servers when you're o

Google is in the business of making things go very fast . I don't think the primary bottleneck in Google's speech recognition is the server load, surely they can add more processing power if that were the issue.

They seem to have (plans for) a way[1] to integrate this into other applications. Looks like it would reduce a lot of the friction that exists with current-gen voice recognition systems. [1] https://www.houndify.com/

I am very impressed. The voice recognition seems significantly faster and more accurate than Google's. The interactive back and forth with the mortgage calculations was the coolest part, I think. How are you able to access population a

Why should I need to trust some vague certificate authority? I'd rather trust DANE/TLSA and DNSSEC. Or something similar. Solving the trust problem in routing would require ISPs to manually whitelist which AS advertisements are va
