It would be a bit more interesting if it could distinguish between the "See Also" and other tables at the bottom of the pages, and the main content. E.g. I connected Donald Knuth to a Geneticist simply because they both won awards

If you want to be pessimistic, sure. The article lists the incentives: mobility without a car, independence, and reduced risk of a fatal accident. It's about being realistic with your own constraints. I fully don't expect to be dr

On the one hand, I don't want this to happen to me either (but I'm more likely to retire somewhere accessible than the suburbs). But on the other, this whole situation just screams entitlement. They'd rather stay in their hou

I would collect a list of every ICO fraud story in the press, and just ask if your board wants to be added to the list (whether officially or in the social zeitgeist). I would also ask the board how many examples they can find of companies

The server component sounds really promising - will it do Powershell? Windows command line over SSH will be much more useful than RDP....

This is simultaneously what I needed to hear and what I didn't want to hear. You pretty much nailed it all for me.

Addressed in the article - with the same diet, 7% T2D incidence rate in non-affected population, 0% rate for those with the mutation.

Why do no pics show the USB-A side of the system clearly? It's like they only want to talk about USB-C. Also I can't tell if it does USB-C Power Delivery or not? Or would I still need a separate charger for this? Would be really n

I can't wait till the Go team starts giving these packages more love from the performance perspective. Now that the compiler has an SSA backend we might start seeing more SIMD and other optimizations, but it's still a ways to go b

TBH I dug out my Surface Pro when Jess started talking up WSL... Finally got Windows Insider Preview going so that I could try it out for myself. I spend most of my days in a text editor and a terminal, and macOS has been making even that p

It'd be really helpful if there were screenshots of a sample app from each supported platform. Is this wrapping native elements or providing custom elements?

I tried FreedomPop a few months ago. The service was terribly unreliable and call quality was poor. I cancelled after 2 weeks, and surprise the renewal still charged me. Which I contested with my cancellation confirmation email. Then a got

Duly noted! I'm not in this field, but I know enough to know what not to do (most of the time).

I made no comment on the work done here, it is novel and concerning if you use the outputs for important things. My comment is that non-cryptographic random number generators should not be used for security-critical functions. These functio

Author's title should be "Cracking PSEUDO-random number generators" - We should all basically assume that any PRNG will be easily cracked like this and not use them for anything important to security! Always use a cryptograph

This algorithm is actually really useful in genomic sequencing - daily usage for me right now. Cool to see it pop up here, although I think it's less generally useful than other edit distance methods.

This post specifically used very short uninformative names though, which was more to my point. If you're not going to use informative names, it shouldn't be part of the signature, especially when its barely any extra typing to do

This clouds up your godoc with unnecessary names though. Why not just initialize a default value at the top of your function? You don't get the bare returns but it's a lot cleaner.

It's certainly not good to leak this information, but wouldn't most of the providers mentioned have an automatic lockout for repeated login attempts? How could an attacker actually exploit this in any non-trivial system? This is m

I don't know - he's just changed perspective. It's still about how few things he has compared to others. This was a fault in his mind before, but he's turned it into a strength. In the end, it's the same psychology
