For the record: let squares: Vec = numbers.iter().filter(x => x >= 0).map(x => x * x).collect(); is not valid Rust, but this is: let squares: Vec = numbers.iter().filter(|&&x| x >=…

yes, because watching molecules is easy…right?

Issue with unconstrained template-based approaches: Only static dispatch is possible which means, the compiler has to duplicate the procedure for all actual type-combinations and a…

You seem to be the only one here pathologising ADHD.

There is also another term for this: ADHD. Even though ADHD does not really have anything to do with attention, it is more of a motivation-issue, which can led to starting new, pro…

And he is talking about the diesel effect. This implies the presence of an oxidiser like oxygen. Yes, CH₄ + 2 H₂O does react to CO₂ and 4 H₂, but not under high pressure and it is …

KOH is not soap, it is used in the production of soap and KOH will make your skin to soap. Destroying anything organic by cooking it in strong lye at 120 °C with quite polar solven…

Asbestos is a silicate…

RSA is bad, because developers do not implement it as specified and ECC is good, because most developers will not implement it themself, because they do not understand ECC and ther…

So, a RegEx (melody syntax) to RegEx (unspecified syntax) compiler? I mean, the syntax is nice, but 1. please specify which kind of regular expression it compiles to, 2. are those …

Do you like teapots? Fine, let us talk about the teapot currently orbiting the sun on the opposite side, so small, we cannot see it, but it is obviously there, ancient books and th…

Very interesting, but irrelevant for most of us.

Btw. as you can see in the figure about blood type distributions, »I am more likely to have a common blood type than a rare one"« is actually false. It is more likely to have any o…

Too many predictions with too many assumptions and too little data.

Someone reinvented ResearchGate and aRxiv, but made it worse?

This was actually a somewhat significant reason I shared this article. (^.^)

…and might descend from Loki ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lokiarchaeota#Evolutionary_sig... )

The number of CVEs is for the most part a function of how-often-does-someone-look-at-it and only for a tiny part a function of safety. If I remember correctly, sometime ago a lot o…

And where is the advantage then to have a `call syscall_wrapper` over `mov rax, syscall_number; syscall` if the ROP was able to return just before the call?

https://lwn.net/Articles/806776/ says, system-call-origin verification is for mitigation of ROP. ROP is (always?) a result of stack buffer overflows, which are a result of bad prog…

Except for Baden-Württemberg, which has tuitions for non-EU-students (1.5k€ per semester afaik), it is irrelevant whether you are German, EU-citizen or from somewhere else. The onl…

or Germany, where the only cost you might have is for the public transport ticket or something like that, and even this is often optional…I am actually curious why there are not so…

Long time ago, I used PureBasic. It was easy to write simple GUI-applications with a bit of network stuff. But some day I had an issue and had to look at the assembly-output (it us…
