Python urllib3 maintainer here. urllib3 made a change to be more RFC-compliant in December, and which fixed this issue, but that change has not been released yet. We are in the pro…

The trust dynamic is the opposite of what you think - SGX doesn't enable an enclave that protects the machine owner from the code they execute; it enables an enclave that protects …

> So... Because lists are dynamically typed and heterogeneous, does that mean the underlying C is basically a contiguous segment of memory of python object references? Yes. Every P…

For fuck's sake, "being gay" isn't even one of those classes.

The CPU itself had plenty of thermal headroom, but was overdrawing the power system - which then thermally throttled itself way more aggressively and in a less-controlled manner. T…

I'm curious to see how the "Quad Bayer" mosaic works out. Other manufacturers have tried novel filter patterns before, but nothing so far has really been able to compete. Essential…

GP is saying that since there is no license, the code is copyrighted and there is no allowable use anyone could put it to. Therefore, since you own the copyright, and did not licen…

Also, the Mac has a webcam instead of a nose hair viewer.

Having wireless providers who are able to provide landline-level speeds means that many markets will go from having one or maybe two real ISP options to having three or four. Compe…

I think it's much more arbitrary. Silverlight is on life support with support for EME/HTML5 video on most platforms, but Netflix has historically chosen to only support 1080p video…

Hardware implementations of codecs can be made that perform encode at low power if a certain level of quality/efficiency can be given up. This is already the case for AVC/HEVC on m…

When I read this one obvious explanation would be that IQ tests are designed with biased assumptions based on the cultural environments in which they were designed, and that those …

The way Oracle and VMWare bill is not bound by a technical limitation.

Plus, many of the integrated apps actually do support the platforms he's using - for example, Google syncing with the macOS Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders applications. Addition…

Um. If you're setting an alarm in the built-in clock app, it definitely works when Do Not Disturb is turned on.

I believe the PC's point is that you're leaning on "never having heard" about Apple committing compatibility fixes before as justification for that not being something they would d…

This makes sense to me - it feels like an interface somewhere in the space of Python's properties (using the @property decorator), its descriptor protocol[0] with which properties …

The three largest pools combined hold over 50% of the total hashing power, and all are based in China.

As a C novice, this makes me wonder - wouldn't templates/macros be able to serve a similar purpose to goto statements if the goal is to avoid nested calls but still share code? EDI…

One of the benefits of async code as compared to threading is a much easier to reason about data model. In comparison to threading, where shared data structures can change at any t…

I wonder if it'd be possible to do automatic detection and removal of notebook lines via an FFT (frequency domain) transform.

This is on-point. Cultured gemstone-grade diamonds started becoming viable in the early '10s, and manufacturers were careful to provide better value than mined gemstones but not ov…

The processing is key; the prime example for me is peach jam, where if you just chop the fruit up, you end up with peach suspended in mostly-clear gel. If, on the other hand, you b…

Butter handling is key in my own chocolate chip cookies, I've found. Let it soften too much, or overbeat the batter, and you'll end up with Frisbees. Ideally you want to cream the …
