I opened this earlier, and it linked to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2NI6t2r_Hs&feature=youtu.be... -- I think a moderator may have 'fixed' it in a really silly way.

None of those are really credible, and "90% certain" doesn't really fit with the level of knowledge you're describing about the other supposed cases.

No, not really. I'm not saying anything about what these things ought to have been called in a perfect world (though I think it actually fits pretty well). I'm observing that they've been called by this name for a while, so e

Would "purely functional data structures" float your boat? I suspect the idea is to tie in with the idea of '(purely) functional programming', which is where these will shine. In any case the term '(purely) function

There was no editorializing here by the poster of this article, but given recent news I have to suspect it's obliquely a claim that there may be certain incentives at play in the recent reporting of the SuperMicro issue ( https:/&

It's a subtle nuance that people often get wrong, though -- or they may be speaking in a dialect like British English, where 'want' (plural subject) is used for corporate entities. (I admit the latter is unlikely for an Ameri

You may need to restart emacs after adding those lines to your config. Creating a fresh frame also seems to work, if you use daemon mode.

As far as speed-of-evolution, it is worth understanding that the slower speed is at least partly a by-product of different goals. This talk, "Stewardship: The Sobering Parts" by Brian Goetz, is informative and well worth the watch

This is possibly ok, actually. Java 9 and 10 have been released; Java 11, the next long-term-support release, has a release date of September. So this applies if you're on a 5-year-old version of Java and choose to run Java 8 rather th

Suppose that a machine succeeds fast, not fails fast. Say a machine's job is to run N things on its input, and the identities of these N things are picked up from configuration somewhere. One machine gets a corrupted config somehow,

Depends on how far away the signal came from. 10^9 light years away, and your .98c attackers won't be here for 20 million years. Even 10000 light years away, you have 200 years to play with. Though it's likely pretty hard to get a

You don't really need to encrypt - just one-way hash. (Though if you count that as 'encryption' for this purpose, okay.)

From what I've read in the past (and this is borne out by the article you've linked), you wouldn't necessarily use AKS if you need determinism, because there are other deterministic algorithms with worse asymptotics that perf

Very interesting. Cancellation semantics of promises have bugged me for a while. Looks promising (no pun intended). If can make a suggestion--a cookbook of promise interop might be worth adding. There's a fundamental incompatibility, g

YouTube is a bit smarter these days: they defer playback until the tab first gets focus. So you have to pause at most as many videos as there are separate windows, not tabs. I believe Chrome is not nearly as smart as it could be about defer

Have you tried clicking the 'HD' button in the lower right? You can step down the video quality to 380p. Does that help? The default is 'auto', which I'd expect to be fine, but if it picks up settings from Vimeo, yo
