This is a common thing for BigQuery to claim. It's quite fast for an analytics database, but it is not a transactional database. Even for static data, the simplest queries on the tiniest data still take 1/10th of a second or so, a

Kinda-sorta, but possibly not in a useful way. The fact that the type system can express numbers doesn't mean that those numbers are the same numbers used in the host language. Church-encoded numerals are a common trick. This basic

There are several reasons why it is more accessible than before. One is internet gambling. Another is that SCOTUS struck down a federal law banning sports betting in 2018. So gambling used to be a "big thing" involving a trip to V

There is a possible future where HTML and JavaScript are relegated to historical shims for WASM and <canvas>. I don't know if this is a good future or not, but you want a future with cross-platform apps freed from "web tec

Take a look at Vivaldi and see if it's what you're looking for. Broadly, Brave is pro-privacy and pro-crypto while Vivaldi is pro-privacy and anti-crypto. Vivaldi is forked from Chromium directly rather than from Brave, but the si

They've found a 43-state machine that encodes the Goldbach Conjecture, and proposed but not verified that it can be compressed 27 states. I would consider the Goldbach Conjecture to be "well-known" as far as math theorems go,

For a sphere, the location of where you land when you go off the screen is a continuous function of where you started from. If two Pac-Men exit the screen next to each other, they will re-enter the screen next to each other. The real Pac-

While the term "LGBTQ+" is highlighted in blue, every instance of it also includes a parenthetical about "or other atypical heterosexual relationships." The labelling is awkward but this seems to me to be there specifica

By "us" do you mean just humans? Because mammals certainly outnumber that many-fold. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few individual species that could out-populated chickens on their own, such as rats or squirrels.

Common Lisp does this. EQL means reference-equals, and EQUAL means value-equals (recursive). If you need to custom behavior, then EQUALP is a generic function that can be overridden for your data types. ...and then it keeps going. EQ differ

We don't have a good way to handle equations. They are dense and sometimes minute aspects of positioning have semantic value. And this paper in particular, the equations are the core of the content. There's room for improvement ov

Not to pile on, but... One of Tolkien's goals was to create something which resembled history rather than literature . Or if not history, then mythology that plausibly belongs to a real place, rather than a neatly-constructed story.

What makes it illegal is that the visitor data is available to US law enforcement without any safeguards. The scenario that you posit, the most troublesome part is AWS because Amazon is also subject to US law enforcement. It depends on a fe

One could argue they're facets of the same issue. Although in the spirit of the original list, they would probably get split into separate line items. On further review, I think this is als similar to #12 & #13 on the list: "n

The main source of interest for GCC Rust is because GCC targets more platforms than LLVM. A partially-overlapping interest is using Rust in Linux: Linux targets non-LLVM platforms, but is also deeply tied to GCC and Rust-for-Linux would hav
