My understanding is that you can re-order the source alphabet, and encode numbers with swapped characters. Unless you know of 36 numbers that they're exactly 1 id apart, you will always have uncertainty to what the ids actually map to.

There are numerous studies confirming the effect you're speaking of, altough I'm not sure if dating apps have an influence on that. It was shown that certain national ice hockey teams were comprised mainly of players who were born

What I don't understand with this article is why it should be beneficial for YC to make you dig deep rather than everywhere. The digging analogy basically says that you can push founders in a way that the probability of ANY success dec

They are refunding customers. And probably the thought, if we make the Jamboard offline, everyone will migrate to different solutions anyway. They could just open Android for them, and let any app run on it though I guess...

what in the... what is the point?? I've used Grafana many times and it's always, always a simple docker start -v, ..., and modifying some configs to get started. This tool is completely useless.

I once played a esoteric video game where you had to interact with a terminal inside a 3d world as part of the gameplay mechanic. It was implemented in unity, and it featured motion blur when a lot of output was generated. Since then I alwa

Really? The reason it's not possible to put a Ford engine in a Toyota is not that Toyota purposefully make their cars not fit Ford motors; it's because they're not keen on making it so. It takes way more effort to create a un

You're talking about tying things together like Microsoft Word with onedrive etc.? This sounds backwards to me. The "tying together" only feels like "tying" because you get used to the extent the services interact w
