This is akin to breaking a one-time-pad cipher: you could easily come up with many possible plaintext but there is no way of verifying one is correct.

No, fusion power plants will likely need helium to run: it's necessary to cool the magnetic coils. Unless there will be a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity, helium will still be needed and consumed (through leakages) a

You used to be able to vote-kick the obvious cheater, not sure why that is not an option anymore, these days.

I think the manual is intetionally flying over `overrideDerivation` because it shouldn't be used. To understand the difference you'd have to know that `stdenv.mkDerivation` is a library function that wraps the Nix primitive `built

When the system runs out of memory the OOM killer is actually invoked right away. The problem is that systems with modern fast storage can run for hours with little to no memory left without really going OOM. If you're interested in th

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention phases or the idea of projective Hilbert spaces. The QM formulation it gives is well known ambiguous: the condition <φ|φ>=1 does not determine φ, because it's also satisfied by

That's not really the price of an IPv4 address: you don't have control over it, it's just not changing because they made a DHCP reservation or something. Owning an address means you can announce it to peers via BGP, set up PT

It is when you're watching all the activity in the repository, but this is already an avalanche of mails if the project is very large. If you only get notifications for issues you've actively partecipate in, it's fine.

I think a useful approach is, instead of closing or locking the issue, to have a bot that periodically (say every 90 days) pings everyone involved in that issue and tags it as "stale" if no one replies, but nothing else. Issues do

I mean that we don't have enough storage capacity to cover the current loads with renewables only, the situation is the same in most countries. For example, in Italy we have ~7.4GW of stored installed power: 97% alone is from a few ver

It's simply not possible to do so now or in the near future because we don't have nearly enough storage capacity.

I think a good way to learn networking is to set up your network from scratch: either build a router using a PC with some BSD, GNU/Linux or buy a router supported by OpenWRT. Start with something simple at first: a basic home network.

I don't think so, sorry. The kernel emits a few messages when an OOM is detected, including the tasks killed to free memory, but in a near-OOM probably nothing: the system is technically still working normally, though very slowly.
