I'm far from being an expert on such matters, but why doesn't SpaceX attempt to lasso the upper part of the rocket on landing? How about a super big soft pillow? At the very least spread out some huge arms to aid stability?

Wow Peter, thanks for that. I like their analysis. It reminded me of a great article I read years ago that dealt with the issue of self-referential paradox. In fact, at the time I tried applying the techniques therein towards the surprise e

This is an aside, but somewhat similar in spirit. In high school, ages ago, I remember discussing the following problem and never being satisfied with the solution. If someone could clarify the exact wording and source of the problem I&#x27

Why is this running Android instead of Chrome OS? Internal politics are clearly at work. Moreover, why isn't there a stylus. I really, really, appreciate 1:sqrt(2), but without an accurate, ultra low-latency stylus you can't treat

If you can't authenticate the platform, you can't defend the user, end of story. The web "works" insofar as it does because of the margins of abuse are tolerable. I'm sure those working in "ad tech" have d

Thanks to mzs for recently pointing out [1] this page of string library comparisons referenced in an older HN post by shadowfox. [2] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10205997 [2] https://news.ycombinator.

Thanks mzs for that great reference to an old HN comment. Appreciated! The volume of string libraries only suggests how crucial core library design, often an afterthought, is to programming language design. The language itself encourages id

Have there been any serious attempts at an alternate string library interface for C, perhaps even an total redo of the standard C library with decades of hindsight?

> I think it's clearer if you don't bring in the lemma. Well of course it's clearer, it's because you're working with specific example, whereas Yoneda applies in a very general setting, you just have to see how y

You are asking the right questions, it just means you're ready to go one step down the rabbit hole. You need to carefully, and slowly, read SPJ's Tackling the Awkward Squad. You need to allow yourself to skim over the parts that a

I appreciate your comment, but I would also like to draw attention to the inherent difficulty in speaking about these concepts. In speaking of being "innocent of evil" you also imply being "innocent of good" and so can g

This is not, perhaps, the real concern. It seems browsers, via WebRTC, expose all detected public addresses, so even though your default route may be through a specific interface, the browser will probe all local interfaces and discover all
