If you need a library to do this, check out GeographicLib. It's written by C. F. F. Karney the same guy who developed an algorithm and wrote a scientific paper about improving Vincenty's formulae for performance and fixing issues

Here's the thing though: You could build this in pure Node and call Windows APIs, Qt, etc and it'd be much, much smaller. But everyone just goes ahead and pulls in Chrome. It's shameful, and the worst part is that I get it -

On B2 that's $10... yeah, might be reconsidering this...

I wonder at what point they'll just solve the safety issue by removing the windshield and adding shit loads of impact absorption and a few steel plates that isn't possible on vehicles where the driver needs to be able to see outsi

Interesting, unlike Glacier this is significantly cheaper than Backblaze B2, meaning I might have to reconsider how I do my backups again. Any good backup tools supporting this type of service? I rely on Restic at the moment which seems to

The Shield uses WiFi Direct to connect to controllers, so it'd pretty much kill the point of the device if you were to fully disable WiFi Direct on it.

So your options are then: - Cry about it and hope they change the policy (they won't) - Accept using your cell data at school instead of their wifi (works, but is expensive) - Bypass it using a VM (requires moderate technical knowledge

Definitely a good start but in a targeted attack scenario that's pretty trivial to bypass, if someone brags about having the latest Das Keyboard or something that's all it'd take... we need cryptographic authentication in th

They don't necessarily need full knowledge of the product or any such thing, they just need to be able to provide a sort of filter, remove anything uselessly abusive or congratulatory without value, open defects for obvious bugs with

Google should just kill the YouTube app for iOS and see how long this exclusive bullshit lasts.

Seems like a good idea, I wish I had more of a statistical background for this kind of thing. Seems like it'd have proved more useful for most software purposes than the calculus I had to take instead as a prerequisite. It's basic

We've switched to box and whisker plots for most of our statistical reports, they give you a good idea for various important percentiles and adding average indicators is fairly simple if desired. Even for things like latency this can b

It would, but I'm guessing they have a very cheap, ~$1 lens filter or glass sheet on those things. Permanently damaging the camera sensor isn't so cheap or easy to replace. And as many lasers operate in the visible light spectrum

Maybe this will be viewed as too anti-social, but has anyone considered doing laser based attacks on these? Lasers seem to be able to damage camera sensors fairly easily and permanently and as they operate in the visible light range should

They're using a mixture of Streamlined NTRU Prime 4591^761 and X25519. https://ntruprime.cr.yp.to/ Note that this is still considered "experimental" and probably won't be enabled by default. I'd adv

Keep in mind that many of the preferred key exchange algorithms and ciphers have changed vastly since 2006. OpenSSH has been improving in the cryptography department by leaps and bounds. OpenSSH 5.2 switched to preferring AES-CTR. OpenSSH

I'm completely reliant on syncthing, termux, file browsers and such, it's literally why I prefer Android. I'm hoping most of these will be available for rooted users like myself still, but developers often lose motivation whe

I'm in a unionized position, the least competent people on my team are people who were basically dumped on us from other groups who had to get rid of people and of course, sent off the worst... suffice to say I'm not too concerned

I think what you're more talking about is just sitting at what he considers "advanced beginner" or "competent" phases, rather than calling yourself an expert at something. And that's fine if it's what you&

They actually filter out many exchanges for exactly this concern...

But you don't need to write every time, only on occasion, so you can actually use a read write lock and in the nominal case many threads can read just fine. That said, it's probably still better to avoid this unless it's abso

This is actually described quite well in the OP.

Interesting, both the Qt and Java ones seem to use chaining, but I guess they're not designed with these sorts of extremely demanding applications in mind.

by shittyadmin 8y ago
So - what's the motivation to use "open addressing" vs chaining, which I thought was the more common approach to solving this. I assume there must be a substantial performance gain for this to be used as it seems significantl

They're not illegal, but many sites ban them - I tried to find an unedited copy of the ISIS video with them dropping grenades from a drone a few years back... you often wind up having to go into the same niche news sites, gore sites, o

It really deeply bothers me, I wish there was something I could do to help protect my rights from this sort of reactionary response. Does the ACLU still put up a fight in cases like this? They used to back in the day, but I'm not sure

To add to this a bit, it also provides a motivation for developers to make games that are too hard and will force users to pay if they want to enjoy them, but people who play like I do will get bored quickly. This is why I loved the old Peg

As a customer it may be great, but this isn't great for the developer in my opinion. Perhaps it's just the way I play, but I will already refuse to advance until I've got a level fully beaten, so I'll basically keep at t

Well, the FAA here just drew this conclusion based on ADS-B data picked up from a satellite, so I'm not sure how you're getting that idea. At least, in areas where such sites have good coverage they may actually get closer to the
