https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory#P... It turns out they intentionally drain a bit of the storage capacitor, and amplify that weak signal. Some of that amp…

In my personal projects, I've used it to insert/delete transactions in a ledger. I wanted to be able to update/query the account balance fast. Like the article says, "fold operatio…

> Rather than downloading our dataset in one complete download, they insist on loading all of MusicBrainz one page at a time. Is there a standard mechanism for batch-downloading a …

Are we sure that the base reveals nothing about the factors if n is composite? I have never seen a proof of that. Usually, zero knowledge proofs also require a prover who knows the…

This article is not about the API contract of the hash function, or the abstraction it provides. If you are just trying to hash things, you don't need any info here. It's very much…

I still don't see the settings. Can anyone help?

The hash functions used for these purposes are usually not cryptographic hashes. They are "perceptual hashes" that allows for approximate matches (e.g. if the image has been scaled…

Kind of? Keep aside quantum mechanics for a second. In any classical experiment that has random outcomes, would you say that the probability distribution is a property of a single …

Constant depth circuits can solve everything? I feel like I missed some important part of circuit complexity. Or this is BS.

This is like online reviews. If you selectively take positive or negative reviews and somehow censor the rest, the reviews are worthless. Yet, if you report on all the ones you fin…

I have been donating a few hundred dollars to Mozilla every year (or at least most years) for the last 7 years. It's not much, but I might stop that donation now.

I didn't get from the article: are they better than all traffic signals, or signals with unprotected left turns? And what's a good vs. bad turnabout like? I have had to go through …

I just found this setting in mobile, but I don't know if it's the same feature: Settings > Data Collection > Marketing

I'm interested in attending these in my area (SF South Bay). How should we discover similar meetups? Is there a place we should subscribe to?

This reminds me of the difference between micro-benchmarks vs real programs. I would always include extracts from real texts of a few different types (novels, lists, technical writ…

Thanks for the actual paper they published

I'm not OP, but I had no idea KDE had that built in. I'll have to check for something analogous in my xfce config when I'm back at my laptop. Thanks!

> [...] other algorithms may require the sort of induction one gets with constructive proofs to sufficiently verify. There is an art to this which will lead to style changes in C a…

What's the common tool people use these days for manipulating json in an awk-like manner?

Even the CDs these days will often refuse to play without an internet connection.

It might vary from state to state. Here in California it's pretty inconsistent. Anecdotally, in Virginia it was almost always there for every product.

For one, it's really close to the upper end of how massive a neutron star can be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolman%E2%80%93Oppenheimer%E2%... says the limit is around 2.01 to 2…

The idea is that you can pick up cargo, fuel, and rocket-building minerals directly from Mars.

I haven't kept up in recent years. Who are the better competitors these days?
