Speaking only hypothetically, but two points: 1) No-one has been is proven to "be" anyone in this case. Reputation is OSS is built upon behaviour only, not identity. "Jia Tan" managed to tip the scales by also being

Scott Manley reported three days ago about an apparently current, non-threatening leak https://youtu.be/MZgaLzYFCrU at about the 18 minute mark if you're interested.

I just want to go on record that given the simplistic (i.e fun) problem, a shell developer would have had the answer to a first, specific set of billion rows done while all the other language were still putting on their shoes.

Ducks apparently do half-brain sleeping too. If I recall correctly it has something to do with sitting side by side, and that they can let the half on their brain not attached to the "look-out" eye rest.

Well, "eat" is used in a general way here to include "ruminating on cud". I would perhaps think that's more like "digest" than eat, so while interesting, to me it more says the rumination activity is more

Exactlyyyy-ish. I'm firmly in the camp that believes that there is no magic central kernel to consciousness or intelligence, that it's an emergent property. We are seeing partial emergence now and it's only going to get more

Well the analogy was more at the introduction of the automobile the people who were familiar with horses were able to point out all the ways that horses were better than cars by some measure. Cars ended up being used in entirely different a

I was having a drunken discussion with the philosophy lecturer a few weeks back. He was making a very similar point. I kept saying it does it really matter? Lacking a theory of mind and deep insights describes 90% of all perfectly normal

I remember a 4k demo that used translucent triangles (I think? my brain is showing me circles, so perhaps a fixed set of sizes and fast blit with alpha.) This created moving volumetric light and shadows around some geometric shapes, some pi

Disaster recovery. This is 100% my biggest worry with 2FA/MFA. I also think this is one of the reasons stuff like PGP never took off (don't @ me regarding perfect forward secrecy): the problem has always been managing some little,

I had a bad experience very recently with hash (in the non-CS sense.) There was a harm done, for a couple of hours, to my understanding of time, of recalling "when" each memory I was using was formed. I could not tell AT ALL if

I thought this might be a Simon Roper video! I really enjoy his deep, humble and creative views on these topics, even though he still describes himself as only an enthusiast. Speaking of creative, check out his "A London Accent from t

Actually, it does in fact "show" lat/long in the Search field. But there is no way to copy it to the clipboard! The field is replaced with the resolved address as soon you touch the field in any way. You have to, and I can&#x

It's a disappointing experience, isn't it? You can only get a raw lat/long if Maps can't generate an address. If it does, you're out of luck for lat/long -- it's gone from the UI as far as I can see.

I remember seeing a Japanese designer, possibly current or ex-Sony, talking about a Walkman. They were saying (via subtitles) something along the lines that that the device needed to feel like something you wanted to hold, regardless of wh

Presumably there's something special about ro.boot.vbmeta.digest that would prevent a malicious ROM from lying about it? As in the ADB protocol being served by literal ROM code?

My question was on the money after all -- this appears to have been the property being exhibited. Presumably the downvoter was a co-author.

A bit confused, sorry. Second sentence was a joke. But if the effect is real, it is a very strong claim and it does indeed deserve replication by people not financially vested in a positive result. And if it's cobblers, that also tell

Literally sponsored by the makers of Febreze™. When the LK99 mania has subsided, I'm looking forward to this being replicated by disinterested parties.

Hang on, wouldn't a sliver of any magnetic material behave like this within a moving magnetic field? This replication is a fail, yes?

If we assume it isn't superconductivity, is the amount of diamagnetism still novel/interesting if not a world changing?

(caveat: I may be running on old tarsnap company info but) I must say, the ONLY thing that has ever made me shy away from seriously using tarsnap was the prospect of an unexpected Colin Percival outage. i.e. key person risk. I'm gues
