    I worked in phishing detection. This was a common pattern used by attackers, although .exe are blocked automatically most of the time, .html is the new malicious extension (often h…

    It's entirely a myth that unsafe is needed to get speed boosts in Rust. Usually, the standard library, as well as other crates, offer optimal performance without resorting to unsaf…

    Genuine question: How do we know the organic compounds seen by Rosetta do not come from Earth and were not brought by Rosetta itself?

    Nitpicking: surjective functions do not relate to unicity of ouptuts; you'd rather talk about non-injective functions. I agree with your point, though. (surjective != non-injective…

    Recently I've tried an approach where I send two documents when asked for a CV: - a "classic" CV which describes education, skills, work experience, and "miscellaneous" projects (l…

    Nice demo! Feature request: I'd like to see the people talking, like display sentence of a random pair of agents, every 10 sec e.g. That way I would feel immersed into users discus…

    One could argue that as a name, `go` is not optimal either, yet it seems the community has worked around it pretty well.

    I use them all the time (I've switched them on by default in .vimrc) while editing C++ code. Extremely, extremely helpful to get the structure of a file at a glance. For example, i…
