Hm, after reading and re-reading the post half a dozen times, I realized it can indeed be interpreted that way. Now I'm confused. :)

You are being downvoted because your reply is basically an unnecessarily long "nuh-uh!" - a dismissal without any counterargument. Wrapping that in a string of fancy words does not change the fact that you are not providing any ar

To answer you, the key part of your reply is: "...that may compete with current r&d or future r&d". It seems to me that they are afraid (or at least unwilling) to compete on even grounds, despite likely having more budget

Wow, are they so insecure about quality of their software, that they squash any possible and impossible chance of competition so paranoidly?

It's not about you emotionally connecting with your audience, but the other way around. And that is something that is out of your control, as this article clearly illustrates. Lots of crazies out there.

Yep, I thought so. It very much reinforces the gut feeling I've always had - to avoid fame (not that I am in any danger of being famous myself :) ). On that note, that is what has always bugged me about the traitor guy in The Matrix mo

If a person makes up a quote and distributes it with their own picture, is it really a made-up quote, is it "fake"? :)

It often really is just pushing a button. But you can never tell in advance, and the real value of such consultant is knowing how to fix whatever breaks if it does.

What the HN crowd might find interesting is that SAP does not support any kind of containerization technology to run their products in, despite the fact that certain components, like the dialog instance or saprouter, are prime candidates fo

I don't think you are misinterpreting anything. I think those glances are part of survival instinct, assessing whether the moving object they registered out of the corner of their eyes (you), that is getting near them, is dangerous or

This is the first thing that came into my mind when I read that various governments wanted to evacuate their nationals from Wuhan. THAT IS HOW YOU HELP THE VIRUS TO SPREAD, DUMMIES! I get that they want their citizens to be safe (genuinely,

It's indeed sad, but apparently many people think "if it's good enough for the POTUS, it's good enough for me!"

I'm a big fan of Wireguard, and am using it in a few places, but OpenVPN still has its place - namely if you need a VPN tunnel from behind a firewall that only allows outgoing connections to small number of TCP ports, and no UDP ports.

The last paragraph of TFA explains why it is left theoretical. In short, lack of measuring accuracy.

That's not really the point. The point is, they would be measuring the weight of the electrons, in other words, the implementation-specific medium used to store the information. Not the information itself. I can see this discussion go

by pferde 7y ago
Yes, you summarized what I feel is wrong with the experiment perhaps even better than me. They are trying to weigh not the information itself, but medium used to convey the information.

From TFA: "“This idea is laboratory testable in principle,” said Vopson. He suggests taking mass measurements of a digital data storage device when it has full memory. If it has more mass than when the device’s memory is cleared, then

Yep, with running as an absolute beginner, you really want to start slowly, both in terms of tempo and in terms of distance. The key is regularity and persistence. By running slowly a lot, your body has time to learn how to run efficiently

I've had js turned off by default for many years now, and don't feel like I'm missing out on anything important. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

I think the metaphor is trying to say that in real world, things don't always work out perfectly, and you often have to resort to creating some technical debt to make the deadlines for the release. Even if it's not pretty. This me

OK, not _supposed_, but it is a common practice, going back to traditional taxi services where you'd call a number and order a taxi to an address where you are. They'd ask you for your name which they'd also tell the driver t

by pferde 7y ago
No, you and the driver are supposed to exchange a keyword to make sure you got into the right car. That keyword happens to be a name by default because it's very... human, I guess, but it does not have to be your name. For taxis, I f
