The issue is that you need to built it twice, so that you can disassemble one to get the count of screws :P

The models for curve fitting in my lab were using lambdas, which cannot be serialized by multiprocessing/pickle (at least that was the state about 5 years ago). The pathos.multiprocessing module [1] served as a drop-in replacement, whi

I should add that some of the risks mentioned in that post can be mitigated by proper user behavior (use a sufficient key length, limit the lifetime of your key). But then PGP is sufficiently complex and error prone (in using it and apparen

I recently came along this post [0], which pretty much killed PGP for me. I certainly cannot follow all technical detail in the post, but I do see that cryptography has moved on and now offers e.g. forward secrecy. [0] https://la

It‘s rather per public IP, such that e.g. behind a corporate proxy you may experience rate limiting even for regular use, just because you’re sharing a few IP addresses with a large number of users. Better hope that you get an increased quo

There might be a print shop in your area which offers similar services. Or services which explicitly offer to print thesis, but they typically require a minimum number of prints.

I have to ask: crypto as in crypto currency or as in actual cryptography? I‘m left with the impression that both our descriptions of these protocols and services are in need of some more substantial backing.

> Telegram Group - where development chat happens Telegram has stuck with me as a red flag. Mostly because Signal, which emerged around the same time, apparently had the better tech and was open. Not sure whether that changed.

The formulation of their AI policy is a bit too general. "Created with AI" could apply to both, form and content. Does using a spell/grammer checker count as using AI? My main concern is with the content, because we're m

Truncating the sha256 hashes does sound like a reasonable intermediate step and should also enable interoperability (a guess from my side - if it is only about referencing objects, it probably does not matter how the keys were generated). A

I imagine that you have to implement the logic about relationships and queries yourself and spread the I formation across at least two relational tables. I’d hope for graph databases to do that for you. Is that not the case?

by phkx 4y ago
I like the question for how differently it gets interpreted;) I personally would like to toy around with some graph database for knowledge management but haven’t found the time to get into it, yet. Other than that, it’s dendron (and git).

To me, efficiency means achieving a desired goal while consuming a minimum of resources (time, energy, space, …). If the goal is defined in a too narrow scope, i.e. your ‚dumb‘ definition of efficiency, the flexibility may be missing. Still

It‘s the first time that I have come across the term ‚hyperlocal‘. As far as I understand in this context it means ‚high spatial and temporal resolution‘. Is that correct? The Wikipedia article states that hyperlocal is used for information

I agree to the other comment, that there should be some controls or at least a documented release process to prevent changes to prod without a review. I must say, that I don‘t fully get that example with the prod account. Sounds like it is

There’s something hidden in the sprint reports. One of the different views there let‘s you see the stories from any previous sprint. Not sure whether it reflects the state of the stories as of that sprint, though.
