Given that every OS, even OpenBSD is frequently vulnerable to privilege escalation exploits, it always makes me nervous to run someone else's code.

Limiting APM is definitely a step in the right direction, but there are ways to have super-human reaction times, beyond what a human can do, even while limiting APM. So if we watch a match and see things that no human could physically do, w

AI can already win against the world's best player now. It's just a question of whether they can win with human-level micro.

When Watson won at Jeopardy, one of its prime advantages was the faster reaction time at pushing the buzzer. The fairness of that has already been hashed out elsewhere, but..... We already know that computers can have superior micro and bea

If scientists who have studied the field for years disagree, then we (who barely know anything about it) should be careful in choosing sides.

This quote from the article is important: Still, considerable disagreement remains among scientists about exactly how forests should be managed.

If it turns out you like it, you can use it as a direct replacement for ls by using alias: alias ls=exa If you put that in your bash profile, it will be permanent (until you remove it from your bash profile, of course).

Paul Volcker's solution was that any time a bank is so big that we need to bail it out to avoid systemic problems, then the bank should be broken up. We can't always see all the problems in advance, but we can break them up in the

signers should be more careful about the code they sign in the first place I agree with your sentiment, but that's not going to happen.

The best solution is to created a trusted privilege level above the TEE, that can determine whether to trust things in the TEE or not. (Don't laugh: Intel's been adding extra security layers for years)

I've found there is one very real benefit of fasting: it makes food taste better.

How much of your coding is spent on syntax, structure, and scope I agree with you on syntax, but a computer definitely does not do structure better than me.

All programming languages should force upon the users a unique code format. I'm fine with this, as long as it's my code format style.

A huge advantage of libraries in general is that they are a curated collection of books on every topic. Typically the quality you get on any topic will be higher than the average new book. Sometimes you can just walk through the library loo

In my experience most people are using git with a svn workflow. Yeap, but with a lot of local branches, and that makes a huge difference. Branching with SVN seriously sucked (although I've heard it's gotten better).

Every init system ever invented has been criticized. That's why there are so many of them.

CVS was already being kicked out the door at that time by SVN. A lot of people looked at Git as a potential replacement for SVN (at least, I did. Took several years for me to really 'get' it, though. I'm not sure even today

I think you have an interesting point, but I have no idea what you're saying. What would "deforming their own skulls" correspond to in modern society?

It would be helpful for you to phrase your opinions in ways that are not so inflammatory. For example, instead of saying, "feminism is not about equality" you can say, "some feminists don't want equality." Which wil

I used to think of it in terms of "number of lines" but then I found a task that worked quite well in a longer bash script (creating a .deb file). In fact, it worked better than if it were a python script, because all the commands

It's ok to have the commands in there, because you never know when you're going to have to connect to a legacy system (in a recent scan I found 250k open telnet ports). The thing that should be deprecated is the server.
