Ecologists frequently focus public efforts on widely recognizable umbrella species. Humpback whales are widely distributed and touch many complex parts of the ecosystem. Making them the face of conservation efforts makes sense, because prot

That’s the strategy Marlo Stanfield’s crew in “The Wire” used to learn who was investigating them.

I’ve been picking up both ghidra and ida and have found ghidra to be much simpler.

by travmatt 7y ago
I mostly use Ida for exploit development, and have been struggling to find ways to connect the debugger to a proc spawned by pwntools. It’s much easier to use gdb-gef and pwntools directly. I don’t know how much of a killer feature the debu

It’s not necessarily an act of charity. China has a vested interest in looking like the country capable of leading the world out of the pandemic, especially as Trump continues to stumble and alienate the rest of the world - it’s the same ga

I’ve heard that as well and certainly hope that’s the case. But I’d think it’d be irresponsible for planners to just assume that’s what would happen, and not ask themselves what happens if the pandemic becomes worse.

by travmatt 7y ago
I don’t know any reason that wouldn’t be the case, and many/most experts are already predicting a second wave - we don’t know the reasons that the 1918 pandemic mutated to become more lethal, so I don’t know how someone can say that it

Or it could be like the 1918 Spanish flu - a bad first wave that was most dangerous to the elderly, and a second wave that mutated and killed mostly young adults.

It sounds like you have a much clearer way of summarizing the compilation and linking process. As the book is the product of a college student who wanted to start a community around learning these skills it doesn’t promise perfection, and I

I’m in the exact same boat. I want to fly home and this is the only time I’ll probably ever see super cheap tickets, but I’m young and the possibility that I could expose and infect so many people along the way makes it look as though shelt

I’d describe the drift towards anti-expertise in terms of size rather than time - I’ve found that the best subreddits are fairly small or have heavy moderation if they are large. /r/askhistorians has kept up their quality through

I had commented in a previous discussion regarding Haskell that a common criticism of Haskell is that it’s lazy evaluation can lead to problems reasoning about runtime performance, a criticism which is repeated here. I wonder if there any r

I’ve not used Haskell (so I have no idea of the validity) but the criticism I always hear leveled in discussions is that lazy evaluation makes runtime hard to reason about.

It’s a good thing I never realized that, although at the time I was fascinated with self-modifying code. I did figure out that our home economics budgeting game stored it’s data as base64 encoded json - it was pretty funny watching my teach

You greatly overestimate the competency of the modern bureaucracy if your best evidence is presenting a series of lapses as a well executed conspiracy. You cannot honestly use the phrase ‘statistically implausible’ because you most likely h

Those are definitely realistic scenarios. But in the case of a company that relies heavily on attracting and maintaining talented employees, those actions would probably engender significant blowback as well. At the very least the abandonin
