Why would it need to be a fork? It would just need a (regular to get security fixes) rebuild with an extra patch applied. Something that Linux distributions do all the time for Chromium. The question is just who could maintain the extra pat

"Other than finding a few binary counters and observing the general structure of the frames, I haven’t been able to figure out the meaning of any of this data." Feels a bit like failing to communicate with an alien race.

When 900 is 10% this means they had 9k employees before. Is that really a startup? Or more likely some reported numbers must be wrong.

From the wikipedia page. Félicette was euthanized two months after the launch so that scientists could perform a necropsy to examine her brain.[29] Doesn't pay to be a hero.

You mean cheap PV with cheap batteries killed it? I don't see how they could otherwise compare. Solar is cyclic and not a storage medium.

On the one hand it looks interesting. On the other hand Spanner must have a perfectly fine distributed lock manager on its own. It seems odd to implement a lock manager on another lock manager (which just happens to be a database too) just

Excel1040 has been around for quite some time, long enough to already have long crossed the "short lived" threshold. It avoids the state problem by not supporting states at all. It's done by a single retired person. I always

Maybe they need to vary prices based on the "n"? Obviously n cannot be too large, but there is likely some still reasonable upper range that would significantly reduce costs without harming kids. Then parents who have enough money

Usually the animals and the rockets co exist quite well. Rocket launches are relatively rare and most of the time the wildlife is left in peace. Even when the rocket launches it's just a brief moment of noise, other than that it's

I missed what the free_sized() is good for. From a naive look it seems redundant. Still no computed goto? Some progress on standardizing inline assembler syntax would be nice too. Or maybe it won't matter anymore because everyone will

There was a story here about the Irish tax authority classifying Subway bread as a sweet, not as bread, due to the high sugar content. I think that's an accurate description of a lot of american breads. https://www.npr.org&#

While the concept intuitively makes some sense, I doubt it could ever be proven. How do you make a controlled experiment to prove something like that? Also the article focuses on murders on TV, but I personally find the sanitized "A-te

That was a long standing question of mine: Are people who build their careers around building experiments that mislead others (as a lot of psychological experiments do) more truthful in their papers? At least in this case the answer seems

Dark matter seems like a gigantic hole. Either we don't know what most of the cosmos is made of, or there is a problem with general relativity.

No offense, but while it was a bit long, all your questions had answers in the README.md. So if you read it, you speed read it too much.

I suspect they just refer to "black box practicality" here. As in they have a nice library for FB developers and the API is simple enough. And if something goes wrong the FB person can contact the author and they will fix it for t

The description sounds very complicated. I doubt this will ever fit into my brain, which would make me wary to ever use this. It seems more like a "voodoo data structure" like Judy tables, where you have to trust some library and
