It's extra tough to know what to do on that situation if you don't know the provenance of the timestamp, because there are some programs that output timestamps formatted like a POSIX TZ, but with the opposite sign convention.

I never noticed that that guy's name is "Chesley". I wonder how often he gets people thinking that's a typo for "Chelsey" or something of that nature.

I want advocating switching the main time zone selector over to a text box that says, "Enter a valid POSIX time zone string", I was suggesting that at the bottom of the list of selectable time zones (which you only reach generally

Something like a proper authentication protocol would be useful for sure, but I would bet good money that the government would roll out some weird homebrew nonsense that would be compromised in hours. Not to make the perfect the enemy of th

The problem to me seems like they are only offering political / locational zones. It does not seem like it would be a significant step backwards to offer an option to set your time zone to a manual fixed offset, which is all the people

I think you have this exactly backward. Learning during college is a side effect. You are paying for the degree mostly as a costly signal. If you want to learn but don't care about a degree, there are much better and cheaper ways than

I liked TeX for typesetting my thesis, but I feel like, looking back, it would be nearly impossible to convert my document to a reflowable format. Not sure what can be done about that if you want nice typesetting in a fixed size environment

Well, I don't need it now because I'm off Windows permanently, and I would use Python 3.x even if I were, but it's good to know that something like this is available. I was sorta wondering if the situation had changed since I

Last time I tried doing this, it was very unclear to me if there was a way to download the VS compiler without giving an email address or logging in or something to Microsoft. In the end, this was one of the big drivers that pushed me over

Why do you need to patent them rather than just publish the idea? One there is prior art you can't get a patent in an idea (simplifying).

Is there no UI notifying you that a user's keys have changed in Signal? If so, the central server would need to send compromised keys on day 1, which would be detectable when you check the key signature.

The researchers generally pay money, often thousands of dollars, to the journals in order to publish their work there. I have literally never heard of a situation where a researcher makes money by charging for access to their research.

Well, my point was that maybe moving the guy (and no other people) was not an option that would solve the issue. In no circumstance do I think someone be forced to move like that.

I do agree, but it may be that the only open seats were also next to women.

I generally use spaces (in Python) to make up the difference when aligning. If you switched the tab size a bunch of visually indented code would become a complete mess.

If the government of China really wants to attract tech entrepreneurs, I think the great firewall is going to be a real problem. I wonder if they'll use a model akin to the old "special economic zones" where in certain high t

Does an IPFS system allow you traverse the revision tree? I think the ideal system would be one with a canonical identifier plus a content / version based identifier, so that if, for example, there is a retraction, you will know that b

Not saying that this wasn't racially motivated, but aren't a huge proportion of people who use these check cashing places minorities? Looks like the store employee was black, too, based on the image. It's definitely messed up

That wouldn't really help much, because then a bot owner just needs to solve one CAPTCHA, receive the "I'm not a robot" cookie, then hand it over to their bot.

I think the bigger problem with these generic names is that they are hard to search for and crowd the search space. Go is a common enough word that you'll need to search for `"SoundCloud Go"`, since `SoundCloud Go` will bring

I agree that there are easier modes of movement than bipedal motion, but to some extent bipedal motion is useful because human environments are designed for human-like motion. That said, cats and dogs seem to do just fine.
