No nontrivial (by modern standards) proof has a machine-verifiable version. Math is just too huge. And (my hot take:) the formal correctness is important, but not really that important in math. Sure, we hope the proofs are correct, but th

Not according to my understanding of the subject, my copy of "Introduction to Algorithms", and Wikipedia. Big O is an upper bound for a function growth - being O(f(n)) means growing asymptotically slower than f(n) (up to a multipl

To be fair, Linux configuration is not exactly straightforward in comparison to Windows. Dozens of obscure config files (each with a different syntax), stored in various random places in the filesystem, with the general expectation that eve

To clarify, and especially in context of this article: 1. A person has to ~~commit and~~ be convicted of, and sentenced for a (potentially) capital crime. 2. That person has to escape from their final prison. 3. That person must then ~~comm

I don't agree. It's a great way to visualise data when you want to focus on a trend. It makes it very obvious which "direction" is the data heading. But of course it is not very often used, is not a great fit for every u

The foul is that I don't want to share my age and gender with every online service that I interact with. I'm bewildered so many people defend discord's actions here. If you give company your email address are they allowed to

But Discord must store the messages, to make searching possible. And I assume the model works based on the writing style, topics discussed, etc. What would you propose, automatically remove all messages after a few weeks? Even then Discord

Aren't go binaries statically compiled? Why is anything other than a static binary download and `chmod +x` even needed?

Serious question: SMTP clients from 20 years ago are basically compatible with today's. Is it necessary to continuously maintain a piece software if the requirements stay the same?

I feel strongly about privacy and I always loved the fact that I can post pretty much anonymously on HN (I don't mean this account - it's pseudonymous at best). It's sad bad actors get to ruin this.

So they did provide you a laptop? Make sure you're not breaking company policies by using your own laptop instead.

"Child" and "Parent" are already universally understood and easy to remember. No reason to invent new words to explain this concept, it will only make IT harder to learn, not easier. Some other terminology is taking this

Who is "we"? Are you from the US by any chance? Do you mean that the US government should rewrite every piece of core architecture (including Linux, Ssh, Nginx...) from scratch? Because they are all "contaminated" and ac

Is this really the lesson here? We are talking about a maintainer here, who had access to signing keys and a full access to the repository. Deb packages which were distributed are also different than the source code. Do you honestly belie

No obvious need to reinstall if you didn't use ssh and expose it publicly and are not a politically important person. All signs suggest that it was a nation state attack, and you are likely not a target.

Even in case something helps with survivability, the benefit must be strong enough to be selected for. Even today people are dying because of appendicitis, can't imagine the death rate in the pre-modern era.

It is still in your local repository, but it's not pushed to the remote repository. So a forensics on your local machine may reveal it (probably until you do git gc, but I'm not an expert on git forensics) but it's safe oth
