this link is now hammered because of cloudflare. hard day for the internets.

there has to be some missing information on how he found the area of water that fully consumed exactly that amount of oil as it simply doesn’t make sense without that. for instance…

This is one of those “so cool yet so silly” brainstorms that I’m grateful someone was audacious enough to entertain. I’m both relieved and saddened that it never came to fruition. …

Most SO answers were non-answers or word salads. Thankfully one of you added an answer explaining that the cursor is already straight given that it must be visible from the graphic…

I was sure to read “the forces of vim have invaded our headquarters and now hold our CEO hostage.”

Hard agree. Civil & mechanical engineering have a culture and history of blameless analysis of failure. Software engineering could learn from them. See the excellent To Engineer is…

Technically I think so, so there’s a tiny bit of faith for RSA but absolutely none for primality in general https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test

> If you just make up a number claim it’s prime and nobody disputes it You can test if a number is prime in polynomial time, much faster than a sieve. There’s no need to test every…

No. The backups have their own secrets and no relationship to one another. You register them as distinct keys with each app.

There’s no need to carry both keys. Leave one in a secure location. Carry the other.

Use a calendar app. It parses and translates appointments into local time as an essential part of its existence.

Algorithms do not shun creativity. They are born creatively. But they do set a high bar for new contributions. You either beat the existing complexity or you don't . If you can imp…

This is close to home. Our approach to DevOps for ML Data is to use S3 as the git core and build immutable datasets and models on top of S3 object versioning. I wrote the piece bel…

The question one must ask: where were the chances of zoonosis greatest (where did people have the most contact with relevant animals)? and everything else falls into place

The reported dosage is less than half what the Chinese Government recommends (500mg x 2 (BID)). So it's possible that they didn't hit the effective dose. https://medium.com/@balaji…

Not quite. Abstraction layers like min.io support versioning. More importantly, Quilt manifests only require a "fully qualified physical key" that points to the data. In theory, th…

Here is an example of the "Irish Setter" query: https://open.quiltdata.com/search?q=irish%20%2B%20setter You would type "irish + setter" in the search box.

You can do that :) See here for search syntax https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/... (there is a faint link under the big search bar). Let us know how that…

Good questions. First, services like open.quiltdata.com and Amazon's Registry of Open Data cover the S3 costs for public data. So that's one incentive. Second, the cost of cloud re…

The package landing page is essentially that: a list of all of your datasets. This is constructed from the special s3://.quilt/* directory. Since a Quilt manifest is a list of keys…

That is an interesting idea. What kind of performance could we expect, especially in the federated case of searching multiple buckets? Elastic has sub-second latency (at the cost o…
