The problem with this is where do you draw the line? If I film you with my iPhone (e.g. you walk past in the background of my video), Apple should delete my video from my phone and iCloud account based only on your instructions? Apple hold

I think if you make your test script compile and then run the tests up to N times, failing on first fail, then when you run bayesect, it just "sees" a test that is "N times more" deterministic, so will behave appropriate

I read something about the Challenger disaster being predicted by an engineer and they wrote a memo about the risk because they were worried about it, but it didn't get through. I wondered if this was the only memo ever about risks to

I thought I'd look this up. If you've had 9 successful attempts, assuming nothing has changed between them and no other prior knowledge about success probability, then Laplace’s Rule of Succession says the probability of the next

Most of axios' functionality has effectively been promoted to a language feature as `fetch`, but the problem is people don't bother to migrate. I've migrated our direct usage of it but it's still pulled in transitively i

I'm probably missing something, but I don't think this is as bad or as useless as the article implies. E.g. as a parent I can set up my kids PCs with their age so stuff like app stores know to only serve them age appropriate thing

What does that mean? What are they actually doing for the MoD? Are they reading MoD data out and processing it elsewhere?

There is no hardware encryption or decryption. I encrypt some data and keep the key. I send the encrypted data to you (probably some cloud provider). I tell you to do some operations on the data. I don't tell you the key or what the da

I was also thinking this about 3 weeks early for April 1st. If it's serious, I don't know why humans have to change to add hidden bytes, and we assume AI won't naturally learn them, or if it does the AI companies will be expe

I know Gadgetbridge as it's the official way to use my open-source BangleJS smartwatch. I would have got the rest of the family BangleJS watches too, but they don't like the style of them.

I agree and disagree with this. Sometimes older people using the busses are what keeps the routes busy and makes it worth running a good service for everyone else. But on the other hand, I have seen abuses. Years ago I somehow got chatting

My interpretation is that Pat is a rooster and he has laid an egg. That's in the question. A normal rooster can't normally lay an egg, but so what, that's completely irrelevant. Maybe Pat is not a normal rooster. Maybe by &q

People in most countries can use Visa and Mastercard to pay across borders, and have been able to do so long before PayPal existed (at least back as far as the 1980s). But PayPal probably existed and was easier for merchants in more countri

I don't think that search is very valid - the TUI group travel companies are likely much more mentioned than Terminal User Interface. They are pretty big around the world and have an airline, cruises, hotels etc.

The UX is a mess. Why does the car always label the trunk as open rather than have a button that I press to open it? Why does cruise control sometimes change to the speed limit and sometimes not? Why does auto lane change sometimes need me

zsync is better for that. zsync precalculates all the hashes and puts them in a file alongside the main one. The client downloads the hashes, compares them to what it has then downloads the parts it is missing. With rsync, you upload hashes

I want someone to engineer a fabric / fibre that grows with each wash rather than shrinks. I feel like with modern materials science it must be possible. I'd use it for children's clothes. After you wash the clothes, you wait

Not sure if this counts, but someone I know made a javascript interpreter that runs on ESP32, ported it to a smartwatch and wrote a whole open source operating system. He put it on Kickstarter and reached the goal. He now sells the result,

The problem with that is you might still get a huge bill if something goes wrong, then they try to charge it to your card at the end of the day/week/month/whatever, and it fails. Now you still owe them the money, but haven&#x
