There are a number of very low-recoil guns in existence. There was even a video a few years back of a group of friends who mounted a paintball gun to a quadrocopter. So yes.

No man's land control and anti-air defense is exactly what I saw such solutions marketed for, when browsing through drone tech last year.

And you consider that to be a bad thing? It's a perfectly sensible argument, as any person who has played both sides of the same chess game can tell you. People can and do have multiple conflicting personas, and attempting to identify [ed:

There is at least one astronomer who's doing exactly that. I didn't find his name with a quick googling, but I think it was a Russian fellow. Naturally, not everyone agrees on the step from listening to sending focused, targeted bursts.

From the article, it sounds like the whitelist is exactly what was blocked. It may well have been a list of urls recently found baseless, in which case there wouldn't be an override function ready, but the list was white.

^ ^ 2 3 4 Prefix notation doesn't automatically solve the problem, you need to assume an evaluation order. More specifically, you need to not assume associativity.

No, it makes as much sense as parsing a* b* 2 to (a* b)* 2.

To be fair, there's a classic version (but the link to it discards the article id, for some unfathomable reason). This works: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-...

I implemented one for practise, without assuming powers of two: int binarySearch(const int needle, const int haystack[], const int size) { if (size==0) return -1; short log2 = 0; // rounded down for (int sz=s

Actually, a number of people have complained that they do. Very few indie movies are in the same theaters as Hollywood movies, though whether that's effected by the latter depends on who you ask.

It's already done on select domains, like blogspot. But it could be done on a few more - even most.

This lecture revealed an error in question 5. The Vanity Fair article says "Kahneman and Tversky debunked Bernoulli’s utility theory, a cornerstone of economic thought since the 18th century. (Bernoulli first proponed that a person’s willin

You're assuming we're the adults here, rather than Google. If flipping the bird isn't an adult thing to do, clearly the users are not adults. So the guardians have to clean up after them, as is customary. Heck, apple has made a lot of money

Except kabdib pointed out that HST had to have all of the tech reinvented, since nothing trickled out.

If I understood you correctly, the researchers show that a many-to-one relationship between quantum representation and physical reality is untenable, so the relationship must be one-to-one. Isn't the conventional assumption that it's one-to

There's about as much reason to use a right join as there is to use a left join.

I think it's important to also notice that attackers (most recently Duqu) are increasingly often using valid certificates. The more parties you trust, the easier it is for an attacker to find a weak link.

No, that was still Joe Sixpack and Average Joe and Joe from Main Street. Joe the Plumber was always a specific person, but it didn't matter while he was a proxy.

A new architecture isn't going to happen until it has to, which fortunately may be soon. The best opportunity for that is if and when we start building parallel microprocessors based on one of the newer transistor replacements, but engineer

Exactly. I strongly dislike the way indentation is assumed to be done with x spaces. I quite like my indents of size 1 tab, and would hope the lexer differentiates between <tab><3 space><tab> and <tab><ta

I tried it on an old laptop, and the only animation that really bogged down was the latter half of the rain part (before the next segment).

This bit really bothered me. I would have suggested some ooda-loop construct, instead. That said, it's not my tattoo.

By unimpressive, I meant precisely that all balanced search trees have shorter maximum height - they are "more optimal". I expected other performance indicators. I believe, but haven't verified, that expected logarithmic height is achieved

How about narrowing lines?

Thanks for that paper, it looks to show that treaps are are better on average than I presumed. I'll have to take some time and read the whole thing. That said, their definition of optimal is big-O, which is unimpressive and I believe also r

Not really. The chart type that incorporates that information is called a mosaic chart, and is one of my favorites.

by sesqu 15y ago
I'll point out that less information can in fact be a good thing. A min-max-normalized line chart is not always better than an unnormalized one, though people often assume so, and adding the numbers or other easy means of comparison to impr

They probably built the tool specifically so that they could pin the manual review on Warner. Many copyright holders have a reputation for spamming takedown notices without reviewing even the filenames they want taken down, because the init
