That would be equal to x^y, which means that the solution is the y'th root of y? However, don't you have to prove that the series converges? Is the approach even valid if it doesn't?

Try searching for “1549 USD in EUR”, and you'll find links to sites that auto-generates individual pages for every amount. One might argue that the SEO garbage here is less bad, since there really isn't any alternative site they&#

It's gotten so bad that I installed Newpipe instead. Basically I tolerated Youtube ads up to a point, but now that I'm using Newpipe instead, neither Youtube nor the creators get anything. I wish there was a better way, since it&#

Perhaps. But I just decided to look at Google Play Movies for the first time in years, and to watching some Avengers movie on there is 18 SGD (approx. 12 EUR). For one movie. I'm not saying their Games strategy will mirror the one take

That would be great, but significant whitespace doesn't seem to stop all the Python users out there.

I did. But Sun never used ARM. They used SPARC, and later x86.

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know that.

Does it? What does the 64-bit mode provide that the 32-bit one doesn't? On x86 things were different because the 64-bit ABI also provided access to more registers and other benefits, but as far as I know, the 32-bit mode has the same f

Thankfully most instances are moderated though, and so far it seems to be working reasonably well. Of course, it's still smaller than Twitter for example so we'll see how it goes when it grows larger, but right now it's worki

Activitypub is one solution. Write.as implements a blogging platform that federates with other platforms using the same protocol, such as Mastodon or Pleroma. They still haven't implemented support for seeing comments on the blog post

I was thinking it would be running on its own core. Cores tend to be quite cheap these days.

What about allocating one kernel thread to act as a watchdog to detect if a user-space thread has not performed the preemption check in time, and only send an interrupt if that's the case. The preemption check would simply write some d

Me neither. I used to work for Sun, and knowing the culture they destroyed is tragic.

I think Silverblue might be what you want. It's still in beta though, but if you're OK with that you might want to try it.

Try using Qubes OS. It will allow you to run such scripts without having to worry about your system being screwed up. Note that Qubes have some drawbacks, the main one being that it doesn't support GPU's, so not everybody are in t

The points raised in the article are correct, and I'm much more concerned with the willingness of people to run arbitrary software on their primary computers in general, than the specific case of piping to sh. I think piping to sh just

This is still true to this day. I have spent some time playing around with MVS (precursor to z/OS, IBM's mainframe operating system) on an emulator, and it's been a very educational experience. The first thing you notice is h

I'll probably be downvoted into oblivion for this, but this is a per peeve of mine. Your use of the expression doesn't make sense. The expression is highlighting that you need to observe a negative in order to determine whether a

Having recently worked on implementing clipboard support in McCLIM, I can completely agree that this document is quite horrible. In fact, it's so bad that basic functionality such as how to choose the correct encoding for text content,

Why wouldn't you? These opcodes seems to be used by most people these days, so there seems to be no reason not to treat them just like any other opcode?

Your explanation is correct. UTF-16 is a hack on top of a hack, and no one uses it in new software. However, Java and Javascript are stuck with it for legacy reasons. It wouldn't be so bad if people just understood that there are (almo

I believe the undocumented instructions in the 6502 was caused by race conditions in the CPU. Some of these instructions are actually usable while others give random results.

On Linux malloc doesn't crash if you give it a too large size. The cash only happens later once you're accessing a memory page that the kernel cannot allocate.

Just to nitpick. Selecting copies to the primary selection, not the clipboard. These are two separate places where data is stored. Usually, pressing Control-c will copy the content of the primary selection to the clipboard.
