The reports at 6abc (from AP) and at nbcphiladelphia say merely "Philadelphia native". She was born July 23, 1928 in Philadelphia [1] and moved from there to D.C. at age ten [2]. […

I wouldn't overlook the distinctions between them. This kind of policy against Jews was a "quota", specifically "numerus clausus". Participation from a specific minority is prohibi…

Let's consider which are the hard parts of verifying that remote code is safe. Useful verifiers exist. Coq is a state-of-the-art verifier for a large class of propositions. It hasn…

Which wiki engine do you have in mind? There certainly is revision control in MediaWiki, Confluence, and others. Granted, I wouldn't use those in place of a source code revision co…

> Who would have guessed Except for not being a dog, such a spider is anticipated in Goethe's little poem «Annonce» (Advertisement): A little dog is sought that never barked nor bi…

I think there's something relevant going on with search optimization, or if you prefer, marketing and advertising. A Wikipedia user who is somewhat active just now is using mention…

You can use 7zip to archive, compress, and AES-256 encrypt. You can also use GnuPG or openssl to encrypt a file or a disk image. Lately I took a look at actual filesystems for cros…

I agree. A counterargument is that you're inherently taking advantage of the processor(s) and the operating system, not to mention, ha ha, every single component and factor that yo…

Or you can go on to implement all the toy lambdas in all the toy lambdas, simultaneously. * [The Mystery of the Tower Revealed: A Non-Reflective Description of the Reflective Tower…

I applaud your point that harassment is largely a clear violation of norms, not a gradation on a spectrum of relaxed behavior. May I respectfully take issue though with the turn of…

I like Common Sense Media. I didn't think I would like any media monitor for parents, but I think this one provides enough depth of information to put decisions into parents' hands…

I agree more would be better, but aren't there several now, such as the Free Software Foundation, the Software Freedom Conservancy, and the Apache Software Foundation?

Can someone explain why GPG in the person of Werner Koch isn't substantially funded under FSFE? My first thought was the Software Freedom Conservancy. The only reasons I see for th…

In the Python portfolio I'd mention matplotlib. Then Sage (sagemath.org) just dazzles me. It's a grand integrated environment using Python with lots of math/stat software built in …

I went through this in depth when I spent more time playing at writing a Lisp interpreter. I appreciate that these two features are crucial. 1. In the Python code of the interprete…

Interesting question. I have no idea. I suggest you shop it around as a new "Ask HN" question and as a question on security.stackexchange.com.

There's a very clear exposition and implementation in the book and code library _The Stanford Graphbase_. It's reasonably simple for the computer. It's not so simple for the algori…
