I still prefer Matlab/Octave for numerical exploration, after initially being excited for Julia but later becoming disillusioned with it. I’ve always found Matlab the language to be small and simple, with just a few oddities. The libra

That was announced at the same time, but is different from what the parent is talking about. One program scans photos that were about to be messaged and if they look like nudity asks "are you sure you want to do that" (and also op

Thanks for that explanation. Is that why the price point ranges overlap - does the increment you select tell Apple how much they should round by when converting currency? For example, on the surface it seems redundant to have overlapping pr

There are a few carve-outs to section 230, as your link mentions: If you said “Section 230 is why there’s piracy online” You again may be the NY Times or someone who has not read Section 230. Section 230 explicitly exempts intellectua

They demonstrated a PoC that uses an HTTP feature in a way it wasn't intended to add entropy to fingerprinting techniques. Discussing how this same exploit could be used maliciously by others and how to prevent that isn't criticis

Exactly. They could have the same functionality and privacy characteristics if they simply kept a cookie that incremented each time the site was visited. The fact that they didn't go this route suggests this is more about finding a way

They way they are using it is providing less information than a UID cookie would, but the same amount of information as a boolean "previously visited" cookie. However, now that the technique is known there is nothing stopping peop

We haven’t had issues with stomach upset, but I’ve found that cooking impossible burgers leaves an oder lingering in the house for days. It smells good while cooking but over time becomes off putting and I loose my appetite to cook the res

Same here. I’ve tried many veggy patties at restaurants and only ever had one that I liked, and even going back to that same restaurant is hit or miss. It is rare to find one that isn’t either very dry and flavorless or soggy, mushy and imp

I was curious about that as well. If it is just an extension of 37-40, then that makes sense - since UB may or may not effect different runs of the same executable, then certainly the same is true of different runs on different builds of th

And they ask about that general telemetry when you install the browser.

Yeah, I was pretty incredulous when I first discovered over-commit in Linux - I asked for memory and you gave it to me without an error, and now that I am deep in the guts of processing and can't easily recover, now you decide to tell

Yeah, when I was inexperienced what impressed me about Carmack was all the "cutting edge" techniques and tricks he used to push hardware to its limits. As I've became more experienced what impresses me is how iD was able to c

When I'm on a break, I'm pretty much always mulling my task on the back of my mind, and doing things that don't require concentration, so when I get back from the break I'm still largely in the same frame of mind. Doing

Sure, I do reviews first thing every morning, and sometimes right after lunch (mostly just rereviews), but that would give a mean/median response time of 4 hours assuming work completion time is uniformly distributed. And if changes ar

There will always be people who overreact and call the police for inappropriate reasons. That isn't the problem. The problem is that the police, and then the DA, chose to make this a criminal matter. Either of them could and should hav

To second this, many of the nitter instances and other twitter flattening sites are blocked by corporate security scanning proxies. For those in that situation, note that you can replace the domain name with twitter.com to get the original

Okay, I found a screenshot of the request[1], and I don't think it is clearly communicating to the user what they are agreeing to. On the good side, they do clearly describe which information is involved (search terms and document cont

I don't see how Signal adding features that shift communications from insecure venues to private encrypted channels would lead you to think they are abandoning privacy.

IT has disabled the feature for us, and quick googling didn't turn up any screen shots, so I can't see the prompt myself, but given how it is described it doesn't seem adequate to me. When software asks permission it needs to

When I bought my scooter the 50cc models I test drove could not reliably keep up with 30-35mph traffic. My 125cc does fine up to 45mph except on a steep incline.

Most of the carriers, including T-Mobile have pre-paid plans that are a much better deal than their post-paid, and I've had fewer problems with them than MVNOs. For example, T-Mobile's less expensive pre-paid plans are: * $15&#x2F

Many other people enjoy long running series, and CD Projekt is perfectly capable of doing both. CP2077 was a new IP, and they are planning yet another new IP, code named Project Hadar to follow Witcher 4 and the next CP.

The Spike system seems like an odd side-step to me. There are some minor improvements, but not really enough to justify breaking compatibility and making people repurchase everything from scratch. In contrast, Mindstorms replaced the old LE
