Interpreted CGI programs have comparably long startup times. FastCGI is an answer which is supported by all major scripting platforms. The thing is: A FastCGI Python script still requires several lines of boilerplate to do the same thing a

I never understood the hype of Medium. If I want to have a clean blog, there is plenty of off-the-shelve software to do so, especially free and open source ones. Why did IT-affine people (i.e. people who can easily manage their own installa

I am pretty sure this is several years ago. First measured BH-BH merger was like 2015. First measured NS-NS merger was like 2016.

Conditionals actually destroy information. The way they are written does not even matter; Consider the evaluation of this functional pseudocode: min(a,b) := if(a < b, a, b) Obviously, the evaluation of this function looses inform

Something which I don't understand is why cyber war is both carried out by intelligence services and traditional armies. Sure, war "should" be done by soldiers, but my gut feeling is that intelligence services are the dominat

That sounds as a funny side project. Hijacking Bluetooth speakers.

That especially means: don't use a Bluetooth keyboard. Never.

As a German, I can second this. There are quite a few people who start studying with 32. You will have a Bachelor with 35 and a master with 37. That's fine enough. And basically there is nothing which prevents you from working next to

Don't want to be pessimistic, but I guess all "high tech", especially customers "internet of things" and mobile devices, will be the first thing to become unusable bricks in the doomsday scenario. Better keep pen an

Is it really that great for the doomsday scenario? If a person is in the same room and Bluetooth works, I don't need any special app for sharing files. If it is remote, I don't see how spawning a wide area mesh network should be e

You can run a virtual X-Server, like Xephyr or Xnest. They are pretty handy and will make it easy to use root painting programs. Fun Fact: The XScreensaver "preview" function works (worked?) as following: Start an instance of Xnes

Interesting topic, but the paper presentation looks weird to me. Most figures don't show curves but a single value with error bars. Never have seen such a way of presenting single data points. I don't see any advantage of present

The Turing test is quite abstract. Talking with Siri can be seen as a Turing test (would you think the machine passes it? I would not). Captchas are obviously an annoying one (which are in some crisis because they need to get harder and har

I like the comment do debug this as ('b' + 'c' + + 'd' + 'e') Which renders to bcNaNe and thus gives a good hint on what is going on.

I really don't know what you did or ask for, but Linux distributions are not magically safe. There are frequently vulnerabilities and zero days for certain software for this platform, I guess even for the (name giving) kernel. There ar

Funny, I got almost the same machines -- I had a Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2016 and before, I had a T420. These are amazing machines. I am writing this text on my T420 which is now 8 years old but still has 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD, with this being better t

What do you mean by gene editing? Have you looked into how codes in computational biology typicaly deal with encoding gene information? Typically that are simple text files. No special editor neccessary.

Changing the User Agent might help to fool a HTTP server, but not the client side scripting, where every browser offers a different API. In web applications such as GMail, this is the relevant piece. And I confirm OPs assumptions. I also fe

The fun thing about software dreams is that theoretically nothing prevents one to implement them. People coded OSes (or sometimes only GUIs/Shells, or only filesystems) which radically implemented their heroic concepts, which is freque

Oh yes. Especially, never ever loose vector information if available. Vectors can scale. Bitmaps cannot. The chart gets this plain wrong.

I wonder whether Qt could get rid of the C++ moc preprocessor. There are wonderful native signal-slot libraries for C++, and RTTI, introspection and reflection are either there or about to be standarized.

I hardly can imagine situations when the OOM killer needs to be tuned so much. On my systems (notebooks/workstations/servers), it was always a user process which allocated much more memory then available. In such situations, OOM k
