I wouldn't say it's wrong. My preference, however, is creating a fixup commit and using rebase to squash it into the old one. Edit: A sibling comment mentioned "git history fixup" …

Is it really not ELF? The file starts with the \x7FELF magic, but I'm not by my laptop to see what `file btry` outputs.

You might want to take a look at differential privacy. It takes an unintuitive amount of noise to make the system useless. You also need to account for how "easy" it is to de-anony…

I'd like to draw a parallel to carpentry: A carpenter uses tools to shape wood into furniture. Each tool in the toolbox has different uses, but some are more efficient than others.…

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to, but one avenue to implement AI is genetic programming, where programs are manipulated to reach a goal. Lisp languages are great for t…

That would be cool. I read somewhere that a black hole with the mass of the moon will absorb about as much cosmic radiation as it emits Hawking radiation. This is a fine line betwe…

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention OpenASIP [0], which not only helps you define the architecture, but also provides RTL synthesis and a working (if not always useful) compi…

Can anyone explain why the ID of the div is modified?

I think the issue here is that the server would have to store a copy of the register per peer, as it can't calculate which one is the most recent. Using FHE allows the server to ho…

This sounds like the "only following orders" argument. _If_ developers _collectively_ were to quit jobs that don't line up with their morals and ethics, we _might_ see a change. I'…

You may want to look at Lua[0]. It's often used as an embedded scripting language in larger projects (and games), has good performance, is memory safe, and is extensible in the sam…

I happen to be taking a Team Lead course, and forming habits came up yesterday. 21 days weren't mentioned explicitly, the time frame was "a few weeks". We were given 6 criteria whe…

Is this a real issue? SCTP runs over IP, so unless your talking about firewalls and such, the support should be there. Edit: a quick search showed that NAT traversal is an issue (o…

But then you can't tell the difference between 0.12 and 0.00012. Unless you're suggesting to use the strings "0" and "00012", at which point you could just use a byte string with t…

Not a professional mathematician, but you have the benefit of set operations mapping to functions you're familiar with. For example, set union becomes the max function.

I heard this phrase in college and it stuck: "when all you have in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail".

When my daughter is standing, I tell her to sit down. When she slouches in her chair, I tell her to sit up. (I'm American, and curious if British have similar/differing expressions…

Amazing summary, Jeremy! One nitpick is regarding the double-CRT: you are referring to the RNS encoding, when the original paper[0] uses the term to talk about how polynomials are …

Good point, but HTML already has a workaround by using strings: ... Now, I'm not a JS developer, so my opinion shouldn't count for much, but that looks like a much less usable stan…

This is a somewhat generally accepted theory. (I don't have sources handy, though.) What makes modern matzah hard is the flour/water ratio. When more water is added, the bread is a…

Very cool stuff! I haven't done much C development lately, so I'm curious how often `strcpy` and `strcat` are used. Last I checked they're almost as big no-nos as using goto. (Yes,…

Well, if we're going to nitpick, light has zero rest mass[0], but does have mass while in motion. This is how solar sails can work, since they use the momentum from the photons. [0…
