I feel that this kind of stuff is always a matter of what OS you are used to. When I need to use MacOS there are numerous things that I find hopelessly broken, because I am used to them working differently on Linux. And I'm sure the sa

But why is the internal RNG state dynamically allocated? I would have expected it to be a static variable allocated only once.

Does anyone know why the reentrancy layer needed malloc in the first place? I didn't understand that part.

Axie infinity is a pokemon-like game where you collect creatures and use them in turn based battles. It is one of the most popular of these blockchain games, and like most of them it operates as sort of a pyramid/ponzi. Winning battles

Sure. But the issue here is when these features are not used correcly. For non-vms, linux uses cpu jitter as a fallback if the random device is missing or misconfigured. But for vms, that fallback doesn't work as well.

The problem is that some environments don't have that kind of information. For example, VMs.

I think the polynomial calculation in the end looks interesting. It doesn't use Horner's rule.

Do you know if the video was also circulated inside NK? If it was, I guess it would be a strike against the social media theory.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was all intentionally done like this to get viral on social media. It seems to have worked, it's even on Hacker News!

Even without the obvious scams like the empty notebooks, searching for books about a specific disease is a gamble. The majority are crap from snake oil salesmen, promising miracle cures or "10 truths your doctor doesn't want you t

With marginalia I think that is by design. They intentionally do not index any websites that are deemed "too modern", which includes most things one might be searching for. It does seem to be intended more for exploring unusual p

That might not be enough. On 64-bit linux, both int and long are 32 bits.

Hindsight is 20/20. My impression is that they didn't use a state machine, just callback events that get confused if you click before the animation finishes.

If we're talking about IKEA store layout, we must mention the classic SCP-3008. Don't forget to open the journal transcription at the bottom, which has the meat of the story. https://the-scp.foundation/object/

The main problem I have with twitter links is that they're too short to understand what they're saying if you don't already know the whole context. I almost always have to dig through the HN comment section hoping that someon

I kind of answers, but also doesn't. I already use Fedora and was wondering if there are any other distros that made the jump :)

Does anyone know where I could find a list of what distros are already using Pipewire by default?

Does anyone know if there is something particular special about release 0.3.46? Or is a normal release (once every other week)?

The hard part of of the article is getting the history file from Local Storage. If you don't care about that then it's much easier.

My guess is the UI uses dates but the database backend stores it as a time or unix timestamp.

by ufo 5y ago
We don't need a blockchain to solve this problem. It would be enough to make the database public and allow third parties to make backups and subscribe/log all updates.

That thing with the fermentation is called the Warburg Effect, and it's the reason why PET scans work. There are some cancer types where this is more prominent. But even then, it's hard to disrupt this without causing a lot of col

For me it's a different results bubble, but still a mess: Dodge Viper, a brand of booze, a tattoo parlor, two different video-game characters called "viper", a "tactical clothing" store, a Go library, a bar, a TV se
