But what content will fill all those triangles and pixels we have now? Descent happened at a time when the stars were perfectly assigned for their "there is no up and down" worlds (which are actually quite ironic, given the name).

Popularity contest can be very rational though, when unpopular candidates that are winning in other metrics lead to your existing team looking elsewhere. Or worse: only the subset of your existing team that easily finds other employment.

The article does not mention it (or I did not find it skimming), but I'd consider it safe to assume that there's also a bit of a conservation angle: once a piece of alpine engineering is established as part of the landscape, peop

But would those cases remain in the sub-monetization bracket? If their goal is to get the double benefit, laundered gift card or identity theft money and taking popularity, then they'd surely want to focus farmed streams on fewer so

Everybody leaves during recruitment . That's what we are talking about, in particular the subset of candidates who already have a job. Make it a two year process, but at the end there's the promise of truly exceptional compensati

Are you saying that the mechanism does not exist or are you saying that it's not pushed into critical regions all that often? If it's the latter, I certainly agree that it's an area where opinions can legitimately vary a lot

The not so greedy might certainly be looking, but their willingness to jump through hoops would have a limit somewhere. Require a very large number of hoops to be jumped through and every single hire will be of the kind who would have zero

I guess GP was only thinking of people that do have a job looking for greener grass. For that subset I'm inclined to agree, despite vigorously agreeing with the counter opinions in the general case.

A very low key variation of heat storage is using a ground-source heat pump in winter and then in the summer using the same heat pump for cooling the house and replenishing the ground source while doing so. Small ground sources, or ground s

With a mineshaft gravity storage you could actually try to spin up a convective loop powered by geothermal that dries the sand over time, allowing you to lift dry sand when charging and abseil heavier wet sand when discharging.

But that doesn't really matter before all heating demand is served from storage. Sure, heat will never be the be all end all of energy storage, but there's a lot of demand in places that have winter. On top of this, when the con

Hiding more backdoors in the library would only increase the risk of getting discovered. Care is certainly advised on the source level, but I'd leave the paranoia to the state of systems where the code has run. From the attackers'

An interesting angle: if this was somehow observed in use instead of getting discovered without observing use, there would be a glaring bright cui bono associated with what it was being used for . Theoretically, I could even imagine that p

More complex than a hull shape that is perfectly fine with just sinking in in a little deeper when load is added or redistributed. The control system you don't have or need is inherently less complex than the control system you do need

What I haven't seen discussed much is the linking mechanism that allowed the lib to hook into RSA_public_decrypt. Plenty of talk about what could or could not be achieved by even more process separation and the like, but little about t

Isn't it rather obvious that they thought friction was the main (or the sole!) component of drag? If displacement waves didn't exist, or did not cause meaningful drag, floaty wheels might even have taken over already in the age of

What could be done, I think, is patch the exploit into logging the payload (and perhaps some network state?) instead of executing it to be able to analyse it. Analyse it, in the unlikely case that the owner of the key would still try their
