Software engineers should be made aware of such pitfalls, but I don't think a whole course is necessary or useful. It's very easy to build encryption that you can't crack, especially because the "types of attacks" i

There wasn't any aborting of the dive, it went to plan going down and back up, until he blacked out during ascent at 100 m ("I lost consciousness due to narcosis (a first in free diving)"). The rescue divers surfaced him as h

Have there been any human trials of total liquid breathing? Hydreliox breathing has been tested a few times, and has the advantage that it's fairly compatible with existing technology (compressed air bottles, gas regulators, etc.). Yea

Yeah, the "no-limits" with weights/bags is very dangerous. After a 240m/800ft free-dive, Herbert Nitsch had severe decompression sickness and needed a hyperbaric chamber[1]. I thought AIDA stopped tracking WRs for it bec

No, it was rerouted around Earth because of the hyperspace bypass pending construction.

Oh, sorry, I didn't specify which Jupiter I was referring to, the real, moving Jupiter that orbits the sun vs. the stationary, straw-man Jupiter that jumps out at you in bad faith retorts.

I don't know what you mean by "gravity assist around the Sun": 1. Using the perihelion in an orbit "around the sun" as a gravity assist?: spacecraft usually care about their speed relative to the sun (characteristic

Google Image search has an option under Tools (seems like you need to search first to get it to show up), then you can pick one of unfiltered, "Creative Commons licenses", or "Commercial & other licenses".

Intel had 124,800 employees as of December 2023 according to filings [1] So 12% of all employees. This would basically drop them back to pre-COVID levels, which they may have overhired for (like many tech companies). Still rough. [1]: http

What is the average degree of the 100B nodes in this graph? If it's anything north of like...2 (or maybe 1.0000001, or less, unsure), then this sounds about as intractable as "visualizing Facebook friends" ( times 30 ) Compar

As a Python dev, reading the "import * as bindingName from 'module-url'" seems confusing as it sounds like it'd try to assign multiple things to one name. In Python, the following line pairs are roughly equivalent:

I think the general idea is that you can reuse any sort of plastic refuse (PVC pipe is also common and it's UV stable), add water to improve the optics, and tada, even, diffuse light without an actual hole in the roof. Litro de Luz&#x2

Yeah, I agree with your first point, but maybe misunderstood your reply? If there's nothing "surprising" about the result, it's not interesting, so not publishable. The article's first example, however, did seem t

"Neutron star = nucleus" is very elided. The crust of neutron stars contains ordinary elemental matter with a density around that of a white dwarf (specific density of ~10⁶), but descending down to the core it explodes to ~10¹⁴,

Seems like this would corrupt the file. There are plenty of metadata fields you could just put some crap in (or just transpose letters in an existing string so you don't need to change any length markers.

I don't see anything about OCSP policy changing in the Mozilla CA Program Policy release notes [1] or Chrome's [2], so I wonder if Microsoft was more proactive (for better or worse) in requiring it vs. other popular root programs.
