Coming up with such a device is the plot of Snowcrash, and somewhat similarly expressed in the Ben Affleck vehicle Paycheck.

So then you're going to take at face value evidence provided by the party who hired the auditor? That sounds just as dubious as the claims of independence asserted by the hiring party itself! It's entirely possible for one to loo

This is interesting because it helps address the problem of how do you know an advance is unwelcome without doing something that could be considered an advance. It avoids the awkwardness of having to ask that question "are you open t

Just because axis truncation is in the lier's toolbox doesn't mean that every use of axis truncation does, or intends to, misrepresent the data or is inaccurate.

The lowest common denominator is /bin/sh. But bash has a lot of niceties, and the POSIX shell can get the job done, but that lowest common denominator is pretty low. You're still going to be dealing with annoying difference

That's terrible. Email Service Provider and DNS Service Provider should remain separate, not be required to be the same entity in order for the services to work. They'll get a lot of small businesses and home users, I bet, but

Every process can have its own memory prefix (rather than everybody thinking they are at 0) The way you describe this, it sounds like segmentation. Wouldn't the value of each processing having a memory prefix be that all its interna

Agreed that deeply nested function application is hard to read, for any purpose (not just matrix multiplication), which is why anyone who cared about readability and verifying correct readability would split it over multiple lines/expr

Wow, that position actually exists? Presumably, you explain it the same way you'd explain it to the daughter of the man who was killed in a car accident while driving his car.

The meeting in the video wasn't funny as a caricature because it portrays everyone around the developer as idiots, though I suppose it is a brilliant unintentional caricature of the way an ignorant specialist might see the world. In r

If this is the case, then it betrays significant naivety on the part of the OP (which is my assertion of the question in general). Good cleaning people/individuals, not just cleaning services, are not easy to find. My household has

I am just really curious to understand why their wages are so different than what we should expect. "What we should expect"? What does this even mean? What do you expect someone who provides a service that is in demand charg

I'm sure raldi can repeat, again, making it 3 times, that control-d means end of transmission and that's why it was chosen for signalling end of stdin, on a thread about how to type the control characters.

Thank you for clarifying something that no one was disputing or event mentioned.

when running a command that's reading what you're typing to stdin, you press Ctrl-D to tell it that you're done. Because, as your "man ascii" trick shows, this generates the "end of transmission" characte

Unit Separator is Control-_ (underscore) and Record Separator is Control-^ (caret), for instance. Most modern text editors won't pass through every control character. Vim lets me type the unit separator, but not the record separator

I wonder where the bread is being baked. SF has some pretty strict laws around the quality/inspection/safety/licensing of kitchens (even home kitchens) used to create food for sale. My girlfriend wanted to sell lamb cakes dur

well, the rm example is overly simple on purpose - the only thing that -f is actually going to do that's remotely dangerous is removing files that have the readonly bit set. Since you originally outlined the requirements as: Take &q

I was thrown off by the SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN error; I expected some error about an untrusted root CA if the problem was that npm clients didn't trust digicert, but apparently SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN is what OpenSSL returns when
