I respectfully disagree with you. Learning the basics of programming is as important as fundamental math nowadays. Everybody must develop a basic understanding of how computers work. That's common knowledge these days. "AI does it

Interesting, I forgot that Wikia was founded by Jimbo (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom_(website) ). But I would no more call it a sister project of wikipedia. The official sister projects of Wikipedia are col

In fact "pkill init" or "kill 0" (each with sudo/root privileges executed) will most likely kill all processes and is some kind of process equivalent to delete all files ;-)

This is a valid point -- most high level programming languages provide some kind of function to provide random numbers in a given interval, such as [0,1]. See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2572366/how-to

Adding two rationals boils down to adding 2x two integers. Integer arithmetic is in general less complex then floating point arithmetic. But of course that's not true if your hardware supports single instruction double floating point a

The fastest way are probably rational numbers, as they are natively available in many functional languages or Perl6. That is, 0.1 is represented as the integer tupls (1,10) instead of a floating point number.

One of the biggest ISPs in Germany, Telekom, offers such a model ("WLAN TO GO") since more then 10yrs. It is an opt-in agreement that you can use other people's APs if you also open yours. Many other ISPs offer the same servi

And you know what? I guess Google Fuchsia won't have a major change at this situation. And if it did (since every clean restart should bring something positive), some years later the situation will be the same.

That clearly depends on the expressivity of your programming language. Python is an example where named arguments preserve context, readability and simplicity (especially for people not aware with language features, bitmasks, etc): fet

Because frankly, I neither trust letsencrypt nor the certificate authority system in general. This might prevent eavesdropping in your coffee shop wifi, but won't help against industrial spionage powered by three-letter-agencies who pr

I don't share this way of thinking of "relevance". Are Newton's principae mechanicae (+300yrs) still relevant? Obviously yes, they form what we call today "classical mechanics". Every student learns it, despite

I don't get it. Is this some content-modifying (don't want to say AI) gateway between email and some messenger? If so, how do the messages look like for the people on the email side? I don't need screenshots of a messenger ap

I don't like final . If I do, I don't do crazy subclassing and monkey-patching for fun but to achieve something in a restricted environment, for instance because I cannot use the latest version of the patched library. Python exce

Oh wow. I haven't read such a hard core conspiracy theory article full of wilful words (such as "a Microsoft agent" etc) since decades. When I was young, I shared this view of big bad companies willing to eat up the free will

That's so fucking true. Today, we have static site generators just to be able to use Markdown instead of HTML and a crazy docker construct to do a solution which any of-shelve frameset could do in the 90s. You are proud of your tech st

This question is really not specific. In scientific and high performance computing, people are regularly inventing new file formats. Many of these decisions also follow paradigms such as "We don't like XML nor complexity, so let&#

> 3G HSPA (~1.5Mbit/s): 8 seconds 1.5Mbit/sec is the theoretical maximum output of HSPA. That means people will perceive much less then that. And 3G is something which is still used by people. My mobile phone falls back to 3G

I would not trust anybody to delete data I have given them. I personally also sometimes secretly harvest data ("maybe I could need them later?"), and I am not an enterprise working for profit. Therefore you better prepare your sig

I wonder how this compares to dockerized mailcow ( https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized ). Mailcow is quite a beast, because it provides a neat frontend for users to configure their mail accounts.

Wow, this is amazing. Anybody else building full-waver-computers? I wonder why they don't equip this beast with Infiniband. It is the defacto standard for HPC communication because it beats ethernet in virtually any metric. I would lov

Something you shouldn't forget is that the electromagnetic field decreases rapidly with spatial seperation from the sender (broadcaster). The relationship is actually 1/r^2, with r the distance. That is: Doubling the distance mean

Well, for many people BASIC with "goto 10" feels natural and easy. Maybe for most of us, if the programs are small. The question is: How do we deal with increasing complexity? FP is an answer, OOP is another (certainly not orthog
