There are two approaches to sustainability: 1. Use quality material that is slow to come by, but build stuff that lasts for decades, or even centuries. 2. Use "sustainably" produced material, but build utter shit that doesn't

You don't need any lock-picking skill. Physically bruteforcing through 1000 combinations really doesn't take that long. I did it once for my aunt (who forgot her combo) in a matter of minutes.

Not sure why this is on Hacker News at all. But the boys are certainly going places.

That's a good question. My guess is that either the driver's vision will be quickly impaired or his/her eyes will quickly start hurting. In that case, the driver will quickly know something is wrong even if he/she may

I think an important distinction is that a human driver under attack will likely know he/she is under attack very quickly, whereas the passengers in a self-driving car might not know that the self-driving system is under attack without

Aren't they very late to the game? Why even port PHP in the first place? PHP is even more brain damaged than C/C++ and it should not be supported at all if you want to sell your platform on security . In contrast, Python has re

I cannot agree with the car analogy. There are two reasons why the signs on the highway are so prominent: 1. When you are driving a car, you are basically meat bags inside 1.5+ ton collapsible metal cages moving around at 30+ or even 100+ k

And now you have 404 problems. In all seriousness, this is why I don't like the IETF's documents. They write in a verbose way and then don't even provide a reference implementation, in this case, a reference regex that would

Did the author forget to secure the other document (Accounting for Developers 103) that is linked to from the first one?

#50 is the most appalling. Everybody should just use MacPorts to install npm to install bower. :P Joking aside, I have mixed feelings about #3. On the one hand, the current version of Unicode certainly doesn't cover every character in

Wow. Thankfully I have never had to deal with pcap myself. That vlan stuff just looks completely b0rken. The semantics of `vlan` spilling over an `or` or parentheses reeks of basic language design failure.

That's why it's called a vision . A vision is something that is not real yet , that people believe or hope will come true.

I can't say who created it, but such vision certainly emerged (which is why I changed the wording in my original comment shortly before you replied). Giant, versatile robotic war machines that can fight on land, in the air, and in spac

Of course, back then Japan had or adopted cooler tech than most of the rest of the world. The problem is that, at the same time, a high-tech, futuristic vision emerged and it was much grander than what was happening. That vision is the

by k_sze 12y ago
My feeling is that high tech Japan is a myth of the past, that never truly realized itself. Part of the myth probably originated from the futuristic anime that it produced in the 80s and 90s. If you look at Japan today, there is quite a bit

Great idea. But awful theme. And no longer really relevant. CMake is now all the rage. Like krapht said, just learn CMake and be done with it.

Technically, I don't think it would be very useful except for apps that are simple state machines. If you want something Turing-complete, you might as well stick to JavaScript.

“It makes more sense if China wants to protect the Chinese consumer.” No, it doesn't. Just like every other neoliberal economy out there, since when has China's government started caring about the consumers? The Chinese government

That looks really trippy. I think it would actually be a cool rendering mode to have in FPS games in general, on computer screens, particularly the cyber-/techno-punk kinds.

I think one of the problems is that the OCR assumes the images to be (English) letters. To be really really useful, the OCR would need to consider at least all characters in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. And then it needs to be able

I'm a huge fan of ants, bees, and wasps, but I have never kept bees, only ants. There is something I don't understand. Is there any rational advantage to keeping the beehive alive between the two queens, especially since the new q

"They just (generally) don't believe it was wrong." That's not exactly true. The deeper issue is that the Party wants the people to forget the incidence or make it look trivial and insignificant, so that any discussion
