Forward-Backward algorithm before there were all sorts of resources and explanations on how it works online. The wikipedia page for it explains it well.

Not even dual boot. Just depending on the password/pattern entered, log in as a different user. It's possible to do in Android as an app. I've been meaning to write one, but it see…

Also Northgard - the other game by this developer - had a pretty dull story unfortunately. Ideally it would be someone like David Gaider doing the story.

What about the people under 18 who I assume could take the poll and also people who didn't go to vote but took a few seconds to take the poll on Telegram? Also what about all the b…

Wouldn't this be different since we know the maximum number and the distribution? The solution wouldn't be to still skip 1/e if you got something like googol - 1 on the first try.

Same with Russian (Yandex does an OK job). But https://www.deepl.com is pretty amazing in my experience for the languages it's available for.

There is lots of corruption and bureaucracy and lawsuit-avoidance driven construction. Right now the cost of constructing subway stations in NYC is the highest in the world. https:…

It would be quite laborious to figure out "normal" user traffic patterns and then adjust to those. You would have to collect data on a bunch of users and then shape your own traffi…

I just tried hotbot and it seems to be better for programming-related questions than duckduckgo. I wonder if they use mostly Google for the backend.

Why? Because they had a code exec vuln in 2017? On the CoyIM site it says: "Not yet audited. Do not use for anything sensitive."

Regarding SMS interception, you can do it with every other messenger that uses this technique, which is basically every messenger that doesn't use passwords. Regarding the nonce at…

Problem with such use of statistics is that we underestimate black swan events. Humans are intuitively better at it. For example, it would be impossible to predict something like 9…

Look up Stumbleupon on google trends. Tons of users left immediately after their redesign.

It might be that people enjoy living without children for as long as possible in the current western economic/cultural climate. This age might keep increasing because those who try…

The way i see it you are basically describing south Brooklyn with the 30k/square mile. Something like Bensohurst ( https://www.google.com/maps/@40.620487,-74.0093661,3a,75y,20... )…

Yes, because they try to strip the binaries as much as possible so that the file size is smaller. If you compile a regular "hello_world.c" with gcc -O3, the size is 8 kb. You can d…

Awesome. I hope I'm wrong and I'm looking forward to trying out your approach!

The reason simple hello world apps are marked as malware by AI-based engines is that small programs tend to be malware. There are probably close to no hello world programs in their…

Having worked on a machine learning-based AV for several years, I'd like to point out that the dataset choice here is extremely important and they seem to have a pretty small one c…

Toolbar thing is my fault. And violent monkey seems like a good alternative. With tree style tabs I didn't realize there is a CSS hack to remove the top tabs.

These are good. Thanks. Weird that the only way to get to that menu is through a toolbar that's not visible by default.

Firefox keeps getting less and less usable for me. I'm considering switching to chrome for the first time in a while. Things that bother me on desktop developer edition: * no usabl…

Wire has crazy usability issues after sending a few hundred messages. Clients just freeze up and crash. Another issue is centralized metadata collection. I know it's open source, b…

To provide a counterpoint, I think it's great the way it is in this respect. I don't want any of these features and wouldn't want others to use things like HTML signatures.

Yes, I'm on a fast network and using a newish Android device. It's mostly the rendering performance. All I want is to get to the mailbox quickly. I've never wanted to use the timel…
