When you consider alternate past timelines, you have to choose some model: is space-time elastic so that a change will be automatically fixed gradually through time? is causation effective immediately, leading to possible paradoxes (killing

The point is that WWII may still have happened without Hitler. However, it may have avoided some genocide. Of course, it's just speculation, we won't rewrite the past.

To be clear, this article was previously posted on HN [1] but the original title is misleading and I think that the content is relevant. For this reasons, I posted it again with a more specific title. [1] https://news.ycombinator

I did not know that programming had been influenced so directly by white papers, and by Dijkstra himself (even Firefox autocorrection knows him!). I had heard about his reaction to GOTOs but it seemed more of a rant than an actual proposal.

Initially, Tor and I2P only pass information from one node to another while obfuscating it. At either end, you can now what the information is, but you do not know where it went through. It's basically a tunnel that goes somewhere . I

To make it clearer: the article compares several implementations of libc for systems. On a desktop, the most common one is eglibc. uClibc is the implementation you will find on µClinux, a common version of Linux for embedded systems. Note:

If you are a true warrior from the old times, keep playing on Normal. But don't feel shame on switching to Easy, this is already a true challenge.

No, it's great to load a multi-megabyte page full of Javascript for your application-oriented website, in particular when you are looking for reading a few (kilo-)bytes. I think every website should be growing towards an application wi

Great, I have finally beaten the game on Easy and now there will be one more version to play? This game game is horribly difficult (DF is more complicated, but not that difficult) but this is what make it great. Losing your well-crafted car

From the way the question was phrased, I think this is precisely for learning how to do such things. You still need to start somewhere, and as long as you know you should not take inconsiderate risks, you can screw up sometimes and learn fr

Don't. More specifically, if you truly care for anonymity, you won't be using a plain DNS+Web site. Instead, you should go for Freenet [1] or a Tor-hosted website [2]. [1] https://freenetproject.org/ [2] https:&#
