    Wanna learn how traefik _really_ works? I summarized my two days of learning to configure traefik for simple web-services, multiple hostnames, and more advanced configurations. Plu…

    Because you're in an exam, and you cannot really draw a straw. So you have to choose a number randomly, and pretend you chose the short straw if it's a 0. And then hope you're the …

    True - nowadays, `Eight Megabytes Always Continuous Swapping` is a feature, not a bug...

    Failure is relative - perhaps they decided that there is still some hope. At least I would switch regularly between "oh, let's give it up" and "no, there is still hope" :) Perhaps …

    Point 2 is a simplification that borders on wrong: you don't "wrap around if it's too big" - the point operation will always cross the curve (except for the zero point)! You "wrap …

    Wow - this is a really good description of Bitcoin. Similar to the tweet that said "Whenever I read 'decentralized', I think 'unregulated'."

    That looks awesome! Do you have any evaluation of the speed? is this based on a paper? is there more documentation?

    In Switzerland there was a vote 2 weeks ago about whether we want to support a law to reduce CO2 output by our population. The law was very clear how the money would be spent: impr…

    Did you consider something like the following to speed up the calculation? This method can go forward _really_ fast. Not sur e if it can also go backward... https://pzemtsov.github…

    You might be right for single-casual illnesses like a broken leg, CoVid-19, Tuberculosis, and others. But it's a whole other thing when it comes to more complex illnesses. Having b…

    Chrome seems to compile before it runs it. Only Firefox takes some lines before it runs it as fast as Chrome. Now I wonder why it takes so long to do the JIT? I always thought that…
