You mean just like all those conspiracy theories that said that Epstein was engaged in child sex trafficking on his private island?

Based on the scuttlebutt I've been hearing from Navy insiders, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and the entire organization is a mess right now.

> I believe if you really want to undermine superdeterminism as a theory (or as a philosophy), the more relevant question here to ask is: is there anything useful/meaningful about reality (or the universe) that can be inferred assum

Superdeterminism is a self-defeating philosophy. In essence, it cedes everything to random chance, and makes all scientific inquiry meaningless. There is no longer any "why" or "how." There is merely, "That's j

All you have to do is focus either on nothing at all, or focus intensely at one specific point. Saccades will stop.

I'm already on T-Mobile. I'm for this mostly because the Sprint network plugs some significant holes for me in places I travel, like northwest Iowa. When they put their cross-roaming agreement into effect earlier this year, I sudd

Netflix is becoming more and more of a frustrating experience. First they removed all user reviews. Then they removed ratings. (or vice versa. Whatever.) They constantly shift things around in their UI. Even things like "My List"

This is very difficult at present. Most methods of doing something like this rely upon spectral analysis of the target you wish to remove, and then use FFT decomp/recomp to subtract the result. The results are poor. Someone mentioned t

I was using QuickBasic before there was a QBasic. (QuickBasic compiled to an executable for those who are unfamiliar with it.) Made some money with it as a teen programmer. I built a menuing system modeled after Automenu (by Magee Enterpris

And the criticism is completely invalid here. The power spec is very clear and unambiguous, and there is only one way to get it right. It is not the fault of the spec when manufacturers cannot be bothered to produce a circuit that has alrea

So will fibers in the JVM be as fast, robust, and as cheap as processes in Erlang's BEAM?

No need for homebrew. It's already there. Mojave ships with 5.3: ~ /bin/zsh --version zsh 5.3 (x86_64-apple-darwin18.0)

It's about time. Finally, IDS/Session monitoring that is external to the hosts one is monitoring.

If that is all you are after, then the most efficient codec of all is compressed text, and the player a text-to-speech engine.

My company has over 200 of them, and it's rare to see one closed, so your dead wrong. I drive 2 27" 4K screens with mine, and leave the laptop open as a third screen.

How many of those paid subscriptions are the result of people stuck in the middle of editing projects that they suddenly could not finish because of the watermarks?

I was responding to someone lamenting the fact that they stream in Opus instead of Flac. There is zero advantage to be gained from streaming in Flac. So why the lament? If they store archival quality, they wouldn't ever be streaming it

Can someone explain the discrepancy here? I don't get it: > Before 1963, when the vaccine was introduced to the United States, 3 million to 4 million Americans were infected each year, with thousands developing complications that le

by teilo 7y ago
Yeah, but 160kbit Opus is so good that it's rarely worth it to use Flac. I've done 180º phase cancellations against uncompressed on a variety of sources, and it is so close to transparent that one would have to be have some seriou

It would be really nice if they had a dedicated tag for this. It's not that easy to find these. #remastered pulls up tons of irrelevant crap.

My father, a yeoman in the Navy at the time, has been telling me this for years. But try to make that point 20 years ago, and you would be labeled a conspiracy nut.

That's not likely be much of a consideration for anyone who would spend $450M on a painting.

This is not even remotely a concern for any enterprise that would use this. Fretting over this is like fretting over the gas left in the nozzle when you fill your car.

It's not such a PITA anymore. Most distros have automated build systems to create VM images from a config file. For example, we use FAI + Ansible to entirely automate the creation of a Debian AMIs for AWS, deployment, and provisioning.

I forgot this was even a thing. Whenever I need large bills to buy something on Craigslist, I just walk up to the teller, give her my ID and Debit card, and ask for what I want. And that's just a normal bank, not a credit union.

Eh... it's a lot more than that. It's the specific packages themselves, and how those packages are built, and how the OS is structured, which versions of libraries are used, how certain common tools are named (think python vs py

First thought that comes to mind is how easy it is to jump or swim out of a ground-level pool. They better make anyone using this thing sign a waver.
