I agree with you but for the love of the game, these are the ones I'm guessing are spam: * Paul, can we have a zoom meeting with you on Monday? * Assistance for donation * Greetings!!! * Invite Connection * Refund request

In my experience when I am able to pick something up quickly it's because I can exploit cross domain knowledge. I have ready-made analogies to things I understand, or I understand the domain which informs the fundamentals of the new do

Agreed, I had to retract my upvote for that reason.

I have no affiliation, I'm just a commenter. The standard library requires a heap and such, but you can enable the no_std attribute to work in environments where they don't exist. https://docs.rust-embedded.org/boo

It's not really about infrastructure but yes kernels and firmwares have to do a lot of stuff the compiler can't verify as safe, eg writing to a magic memory address you obtained from the datasheet that enables some feature of the

I filter for false positives with language like this: For each bug you find, write a failing test. Run the test to make sure it fails. If it passes, try 1-3 times to fix the test. If you can't get it to work, delete the test and

That's equivalent to client-side security.

Yes, you are correct. My point is that a lot of people who self diagnose as ADHD have a different disorder that causes executive function issues, and it's important to rule out bipolar because it has very different consequences. I don&

You will have an error rate of less than or equal to 1%. You can't average two measurements and get a result with a higher error rate than the worst of the original measurements had. You wouldn't be well served by averaging a meas

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Though not without significant errors, the most amusing to me being that islands had a tendency to multiply because different maps would be combined and the cartographer would mistake the same island on two

Yes, XOR is a real and fundamental primitive in cryptography, but a cryptographer may view the scheme you described as violating Kerckhoffs's second principle of "secrecy in key only" (sometimes phrased, "if you don&#x27

A cryptographer may quibble and call that an encoding but I agree.

To complete the circle, now that we have winnowed the space down to these options, we would normalize them and end up with 0.16 / (0.16 + 0.16) = 0.5 = 50% in both cases. The reason I'm not putting % signs on there is that, until

I think it is different in the continuous case though, because you can average two (reasonably accurate) chronometers and get a better measurement. But we can't average true and false, at least not in the context of this problem defini

That's fair, and you could definitely put a prefix and a UUID (or whatever), I failed to consider that.

You could but you would lose the performance benefits you were seeking by encoding information into the ID. But you could also use a randomized, proprietary base64 alphabet rather than properly encrypting the ID.

You could also say, if I tell you something is an opaque identifier, and you introspect it, it's your problem if your code breaks. I told you not to do that.

I'm disappointed to acknowledge you have a point. Shame on the FAA for pushing people into the closet with this. If one did want to become a pilot, I do think it would be critical to determine whether or not they were prone to manic ep

I don't know what to think of that but I believe you and find that behavior unacceptable. I think the way to improve inclusivity in the workplace is by casting a wider net so that you get applications from people you otherwise wouldn

Could you share more about the context? When? For what position? In what sort of organization? Personally the only time this has happened to me was when I applied to be a bartender and was told there was a quota for men and women and they h

There's some passages in the Zhuangzi (another of the 3 central ancient Taoist texts, along with the Tao Te Ching and Liehzi) that feel very analogous. I'm too lazy to find actual translations right now so bear in mind my recollec

Your time is your own but I feel compelled to point out that is in fact one of the things a coding assistant does.

One advantage is that it gives you the opportunity to move to a more sophisticated implementation later without breaking backwards compatibility (assuming the abstraction does not leak).

Sorry for the late response. I wanted to find time to do more research about this before responding but I'm gunnuh accept that it's not happening on a useful timeframe. I'm not sure which Wikipedia article that is or if there
