As a non-American, how would they be able to enforce something like this? Is it related to the HTTP specification? What stops me from encrypting things?

TL;DR So the answer is just it's for backwards compatibility with MySQL 3? I was kind of hoping for more.

On the other side of the thought process, if you are interested in ways to completely ignore p-values, multivariate stats is a good candidate, and is rather pedagogically well suit…

> transcribe solos Do you mean learn other people's songs from sheet music, or do you mean write down, from the sheet music, the same song again on blank sheet paper? Edit: Or do y…

It is sometimes possible to write code to alter your CSVs to retain the strings. The first thing would be to write them as: entry1,"0123456789",entry2 rather than entry1,0123456789…

This I think is pretty much exactly how I think it should be. Half sounds decent. But... I don't live in the US. We pay tax and received no services in return.

I think one answer is tax cuts for charity. If I can give my tax money to someone of my choosing, I think it may incentivise people to feel better about where the money is going. T…

RE: minor-keyed This is an interesting topic for me personally, and the way I experience it is like this: The starting point to a musical scale, classically, is major. Minor is the…

Polish Mazurka is kind of reminiscent of a 3/4 time Tango, so I think there is already an implicit cultural link.

I think that somewhere between 2006-2013 was something of a quality age for MacBooks. The issues that came, like the keyboard, or lack of repair DIY ability coincided with the adve…

I've had an idea for a while, coming from a developing continent, that it would be good to have an alternative for students where they can start working when they are doing an adva…

Is it still done via actual downloads? It's very easy for script kiddies to do that. I would have expected a bit more sophistication, like hidden URLs in emails that autoresolve, a…

Could you elaborate?

One should be careful to confound people's carelessness or complacency with a right to exploit people. I also don't think the people being ransomwared are the same people who try t…

Interesting article, but I would say this is squarely from the perspective of the less technical people involved: lawyers, prosecutors, management types, apart a little bit from Ar…

Thanks, this answers my question. In some developing countries you could have power cuts of over 10 hours.

From what I can tell, this is intraspecies competition. In Southern Africa, we have a situation whereby not all woodpecker species can peck the holes from start to end. The ones wh…

CD players are a more legacy example of hardware doing magic, in this case, a whole lot of XORs. [1] [1] https://youtu.be/fBRMaEAFLE0?t=651 "Free with every CD, a Cray supercompute…

What happens when you get a power cut? Or, assuming you are from a well functioning country, what would happen and how would you restart?

That's why there were those "illegal" t-shirts with the RSA algorithm printed out in Perl. But I have a more pragmatic approach. If nuclear launch codes were written out on t-shirt…

I've heard a lot recently about Jane Street. Do you know a lot about them? I was curious to know their background in more detail and generally what kind of company it is, or the ge…

I think the simple way of passive resistance is calling it "Microsoft GitHub".

For all the comments about how you have to switch to Google every other search: Try writing out more words that explain what you are looking for. This always works for me. If it do…
