“ Developers don't include things just because it looks nice in the makefile” This is actually surprisingly common, much more so these days with cookie cutter repositories. There are large communities of developers who feel better with

An interesting area of research would be into how much of the 'dangerous' aspects of human intelligence come from our historical survival needs, and how much is an innate aspect of intelligence as we know it Is it possible to buil

Sorry, that wasn't meant as a slur on the Language, just an expression on my uninformed background-opinion of it, trying to explain why I didn't go for this. As for the eLua tweaks, things like rotables are quite cool, but ultimat

Interestingly, I hadn't even considered Lua for this in any way. In my (entirely unresearched, and opinionated) mind, Lua is in spirit, an older, less expressive, version of python. I know there's some impressive and interesting

Hi! It generally didnt matter too much to me, there were a couple of times where I missed a container that could help, but for such a constrained environment it wasn't too much of a burden.

When I left school, I got the deputy-head, during an official meeting to state that they didn't teach computer science because they were afraid of what the pupils might do. A school frightened to teach pupils ...

If someone were to add a board of advisors, makeup crew and branding group just behind the girl, that would make the whole piece perfect, in my opinion

I like this approach, maybe they should try it for science and maths too. Just post a list of all the major unsolved scientific questions, and then everyone will know not to bother with them, because they're unsolvable...

Rust is actually lovely for peripheral register manipulation. Check out the zinc project for some great examples. Likewise, linking to external libraries is trivial. I'm not saying that rust is better than any other language. But those

I had a similar thought, but actually prefer this way. People who understand things well enough will know what first collision means, so can moderate their response. Others who are less familiar with the ridiculous levels of subtlety around

I used darcs for a while a few years back, it was ok. But definitely less polished than git. Also the only vcs I've ever used where the repo managed to corrupt itself to the point I lost committed but unpushed changes

To take this to its conclusion, statistically there's a non-zero chance that the next thing you eat could poison you, therefore you should never eat anything ever again. It's always a case of trade offs and, in the case of using f

This seems like a great candidate for an ACME style protocol. I would totally support the ACME spec being expanded to cover this, and various other domain verification related issues

It's not that, so much as manual testers will /notice/ that code is slow, and ask questions about it, whereas automated tests will run the script no matter what (unless someone thought about it in advance) Likewise, you &#x2F

I think this reasoning is missing something. The maths assumes that the security of your system is entirely defined by the complexity of your key. Obscurity gives you the option of hiding the /lock/, which is different.
