The brain is part of you, but not the whole you, so it's different by definition. Same goes for the body. Now that they are split, the distinction is only more pronounced. The narrator goes on to investigate how and whether the differe

If the browser can keep thousands of tabs without ill effects, then, honestly, what does it matter if it's tabs or bookmarks? It's all down to user's preference. Tabs have their upsides over bookmarks.

A screen isn't software. And indeed, I can't. There are specific parties concerned with building postboxes and screens, and those have no reason to be the same as those delivering mail or writing blockchain software.

Do you also blame the post office when someone breaks into your post box?

In my experience, Rust -> move faster than C/C++ because you don't have to keep fixing things.

It establishes both trust by separating it from mistrust (paranoia if you will) by making the division explicit and assigning trust to some people and operations and not others. If you think it's concerned about screens, you're wr

MathML seems to be forgotten. I don't recommend writing it by hand, but you don't need any JS to present it.

This sounds like a miscommunication. They probably don't have a simulator for the entire device, but attempting to fix the software without having an emulator of the computer would be downright irresponsible.

Slight variations of contrast seem like they could be easily countered by stacking all pictures and averaging them. The strongest signal will be that which is present on each image, that is the brightness variation. Afterwards smooth out as

Do single words even fall under copyright? They can be trademarked and that's why there's only one Mickey Mouse, but you're not going to trademark every proper name in a book you wrote...

And if a second was defined centuries ago to be longer or shorter, we'd end up with some other length of time that was a power of 2 close to 4ms, resulting in a different MTU. If that's indeed the reasoning, then it's amazing

Small changes accumulate and lead to divergence. Even if you could make the toddlers physically identical, you can't place them all in the same point in space and always see, hear, touch the same things. Add randomness inherent in the

You can't avoid learning another programming language if you want to describe your setup in such a way that a computer can recreate it. But you can easily fall into the trap of having a bazillion underspecified informal languages if yo

How did you do it? Is there a resource explaining the process online? If there isn't, and you're willing to create one, I offer reviewing.

You're using yourself as the yardstick for "normal people", but there are other "normal people" elsewhere (e.g. unstable economies) who rely on cryptocurrencies for use cases you don't have to worry about.

They were made gone by fiat, despite the demand and popularity they enjoyed. That does not support the conclusion that people don't want them. Indeed, torrenting never died, a testament to the demand.

12GiB and copious swap. 4 profiles open with 50-100 tabs loaded at any time. The only problem is the accumulation of CPU use from web apps. Consider adding more swap space so that older tabs have an out-of-the-way place to stay.

I have a hunch that the not everything you do as a researcher is novel. A part of it is, like you mention, new by definition. But there's also the old and established parts, like statistics, parts of the experimental setup, methodology

For the definition I used earlier, the bytes don't change shape in between. That makes MMU and interpreted access direct, and compression indirect.

Sadly, I agree that browsers have forgotten what defaults are for. Instead of prvoiding something useable for the user, default CSS has turned into a nearly completely abstract set of values of relevance only to developers. But that situati

You don't query for it; you don't override. Either the setting is custom and desired, or it's default and it hasn't been adjusted because it's fine.
