    Clearly they are referring to the years 1029 and 1032 (decimal). I just want to know what calendar system they're using...

    This comment really assumes you know the acronym LLM

    One specific example: many languages use randomized seeds in builtin dict/map types, leading to randomized iteration order.

    Sarcastic replies can be fine. Sarcastic replies when you clearly didn't read the article are just annoying.

    Nationally yes, but states can do it independently (piecemeal).

    Top-2 is a primary system, not a voting system. When combined with (essentially a generalized version of) FPTP you get most of the same problems.

    Or actually radical: switch from our terrible first-past-the-post voting system to - say - ranked choice (or one of many alternatives; they're almost all better than fptp) and then…

    The answer depends on the specific CRDT algorithm in use. For complex data structures like the ones behind collaborative text editing your intuition that the updates end up looking…

    It is probably an error message on a very unlikely failure path / assertion. Those sorts of messages are effectively just comments.

    I looked at a bunch a while back and found this to be a nice middle ground with a usable mobile interface: https://floorplancreator.net/ Paid version can export to DXF (AutoCAD)

    To this specific point, SCIFs ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_info... ) are (allegedly) protected by faraday cages.

    A bit of a tangent, but board members (and company officers) do not in general have a specific duty to maximize shareholder profit. They have a duty of care (think carefully about …

    > Psuedo-RNGs typically use an algorithm (such as a hash) which is very hard to reverse. Note that this is only necessarily a property of Cryptographically Secure PRNGs. Some PRNGs…

    I don't know much about Lagrange points specifically, but it sounds like this one is an "unstable equilibrium". Even if you could park on exactly the right point, any tiny force (c…

    There is a `git mv` command that means "rename". Git could (even with its current data model) explicitly annotate commits with this intent, but doesn't. I don't know how useful tha…

    Fiduciary duty does not mean "must make money at the expense of all other considerations".

    > Brigade has a duty to its investors to fight tooth and nail to keep this money What kind of duty? Not a legal one, I think.

    Check out zerotier; I've been looking at similar p2p techniques and ZT does a good job of packaging them all up with a relaying fallback.

    Sounds familiar, but Xcode does actually provide a bunch of CLI tools...
