Very interesting for embedded or kiosk. Or in general, if the VM is run as a server inside a host: encryption in a box, instead of a library. Curious about what kind of multitask will be added.

The differential nutrient contents are not significant and come in higher quantities in other foods that we all have cheap access to. That's a fact that gets so often overlooked. Some food you eat just because you want a particular n

The goal is not avoid detection, but that they can't record your plate number.

Years ago, I started seeing transparent plastic bags full of water hanging in the doorways in my hometown, the given reason being that they prevented flies entering the bar or the house. I thought that was some kind of joke, but... it seeme

I usually don't like this kind of article with too abstract or general advice. But this one's nice: the good old "choose your battles wisely" + useful heuristic.

This seems to be a really common sentiment, and I find it very strange. The pattern: new thing -> decide if good or bad -> hype or attack. Waiting to see how it evolves and gathering pros or cons is boring. Using it? Boring. Thinkin

Thank you, I didn't know about that sentence. Anyway my point is not that language is inherently probabilistic, but that the way our brains implement language could be. Or more precisely, one layer of language could be this way, with o

Actually this explains a lot. Language might be the stuff dreams are made of , but not the stuff consciousness is made of, so a specialized form of perception, a layer on top of visuals and hearing, with just another layer of logic on top

What are bots used for? I can think of a few reasons, wrote a scraper/submitter myself in the 90's for a cooperative of subcontractors that was being forced to use an extremely sluggish web app by the big company that provided the

I don't know what surprises me more, people saying that the bots are dumb or people saying that they're alive. I'm no expert, but from a rudimentary understanding of how they work, they're neither and far from both extre

it's detected in an awful lot of real people, and articulated it exactly as detected... That's exactly what called my eye too. I wouldn't say "favorite" though. It sounds scary. Not sure why everybody find these a

You have to work around this problem with batteries... It's only a problem if you want to use the energy for systems that must be always available. If you intend to use it to power a factory, let's say to make more panels, you j

To be fair, it seems to me that the main idea of the article is different and more interesting than that. SQL hate is just a collateral.

They say that when you're famous you lose the given name, when you're more famous it's the only name you go by. In this case is it maybe dependent on country? I know that he was Da Vinci, but always heard mostly "Leona

Thank you, also to behringer, for the suggestions. I used KMail when Linux was my primary system at home, years ago, nice to know it's still alive and kicking. I'm planning going back to Linux so it's a logical move. Not sure

Nice job. This looks very much like something I've been doing for some time... years :-) The thing with this is it's exhilarating to use once it's working. Congrats!

I don't know how your archive is, mine is a few tens of thousands of messages, many of them with attachments, it works OK, fast and no problems at all. After these news, I'm searching for an alternative right away. I won't to

I have another hunch: that working as a programmer, and maybe with computers in general, is anxiety-inducing. As Campbell put it, computers are like old testament gods: lots of rules and no mercy.

I rented my first VPS 15 years ago and it was cheap. IIRC the VPS software was called Virtuozzo. Since I was using Java at work, it seemed a good idea to install a Java CMS: https://pebble.sourceforge.net/ But it was not so

Sure it could be a "field" that might as well be described as magic. Do you believe in magic? That's a pretty good difference for me. Now you need to invent a second magic technology that explains the lack of plasma trails

And perception just means input. As far as I’m concerned, that’s all there is to the “hard” problem. My thoughts exactly. A hard problem is often a simple question. You consider all the possible answers, except the only one that works, be

There's already a whole world of terrestrial microbes that we expect or even know for certain to exist but can't culture, let alone stain, which means we can't really study them. I'm going to bookmark this for the case

Yes and no. I care about making sense. Not always the case :) People agreeing with me, not so much. But even if I'm going to say something that few agree with, there are ways and ways of saying it. I'd rather choose the one that d

Wikipedia itself defines 2.0 as social. What you call social is the commercialization of social (algorithmic social?), that might be how it's understood today, but then the main idea was user generated content, at least that's how
