before long we'll all have to have to run six or seven different hyper-situational vscode forks, all incompatible with different sets of extensions, having separate subscriptions to the same underlying foundation models
You also may need to run fstrim inside WSL to make all the free space actually compactible
they cannot. they do not have persistent memory.
there's literally no way to implement this on ethereum, smart contracts can't store secrets, all of their state is public.
i mean, if you're talking about how convenient is to shop there it kind of is? Doesn't matter if I'm technically close to a place if I gotta take a long detour to actually arrive.
Our system is already structured in a way to incentivize actually reinvesting and doing stuff with that money instead of adding it to one's personal hoard -- think that but enough to actually be effective
sorry, I meant provisioned.
As far as I know (could be wrong) it doesn't even listen to any network ports until its provisioned
i don't think anyone has found a machine yet where AMT is enabled out of the box either
this requires humans to be able to generate and remember passwords with decent entropy
It's worth noting that a lot of attacks that seem hard to pull off get sooner or later packaged up in ways that people with remarkably little knowledge about computers much less computer security can use them.
An old roommate of mine had a friend that found it funny to change my wallpaper while I was out of my apartment. I didn't find it as funny so I set login passwords.
At some point it started happening again, and I eventually figured out my system had a bootkit on it that made it always accept a certain password. This wasn't a guy who knew what a bootkit was, conceptually, but managed to find one and instructions for how to install it.
Yes. A JSON Object is not an ATM Machine.
well, matter for what? For building software that seems to work, sure, no. But for being able to speak to its capabilities -- or even know what they are, especially in the case of distributed systems it's definitely important.
this is why so many of the new DB offerings have docs that are either misleading or wrong -- often the doc writers or even the devs themselves don't know what invariants their system can guarantee and assume several that it can't.
map takes a function and returns a function that takes a list and returns a list. It has a type like: (a->b) -> [a] -> [b] (I take a function from type a to type b and return a function from list of a to list of b)
define
double_list_elements = map (*2)
and
double_list_elements [1, 2, 3, 4]
gives you [2, 4, 6, 8]
Or is it more like you pass the multiply function the first operand (2 in this case) and it returns a function multiply-by-2 which you pass the second operand
This is exactly it. You can literally write:
multiply_by_2 = (*) 2
Wow.
[EDIT]
The responses that amounted to "You did nothing wrong!" "We don't need to talk about this!" were what made the thread heated -- outside of that it was just a couple of posters realizing they made an incorrect assumption, what need was there to _debate_ that?
You're here fighting against the _grave injustice_ that someone ... felt a little bad about an assumption they made?
Having that "oh shit" moment isn't a bad thing. Realizing that these assumptions aren't necessarily true is important -- If you just subconsciously know computer people are dudes exclusionary behavior is really hard to notice.
It's snake oil -- entropy isn't "depleted" in any meaningful way; once your kernel PRNG has accumulated enough entropy that you'd be comfortable using it to generate a crypto key it is not going to cease being suitable for that just because you continue asking it for random numbers.
It's not possible for the pool to hide what chain it is working on from its miners. If you're connected to the ES-pool when it is working on the mainline chain and you see it start working on top of a block that is not on the main chain, that's a good indicator that it is a block ahead of the main chain.
If you see it work on top of yet another block that is not published, it's probably two ahead, and so on.
You of course, can't just connect and immediately know, but if you watch the pool (as a miner) you can figure it out.

The receiver device runs a scaled-down Chrome browser with a receiver application that receives data over Internet Protocol and transmits it to the television via HDMI.
A while back I put together a doodad to collect and plot this sort of data over reddit (both as a whole and at a subreddit level), see http://reddalyzr.com/#/all The banner is there as I built it as a demo/dogfooding app.
Right now it only has a few days worth of data in it as the database backing it got blown up earlier this week.
You can make Shamir's secret sharing redundant if you are worried about that.
You could make say, 6 USB drives, any 3 which can recovery your wallet. As long as no more than -half- fail you would then be fine. And you can set either number as high or low as you like, of course.
And it's not like wear leveling should come in to play if you aren't actually writing to them.
In both of these cases you can get google to do what you prefer by typing "define" in front.
"define ford" shows a dictionary definition of ford before all results, "define stack overflow" shows a link to wikipedia before all results.
Unless you're on C++11 you'll be required to shove a space in there to get it to compile anyway ;)
I wonder if there's anyone else in my boat..
None of the 360 exclusives are really interesting to me. I've never played a Halo or Gears of war game. A lot of the PS3 exclusives -do- interest me, I'd played the previous games in a few of the series on the PS2.
But I own a 360, and not a PS3. And I don't really feel like getting a PS3 at this point, being so late in the cycle, and owning the 360 version of -most- of the games I play.
Not as such. The connection itself can be accepted and put into a queue on a different thread than the one that serves the request. This means that only the actual number of requests concurrently being fulfilled (cached value is being retrieved from ram or storage, or is being written to the socket) is limited by the amount of kernel threads. With that in place that number doesn't really even have to be that high to handle lots of concurrent load.
Incidentally if you copy the game folder to a friend who has actually bought it, say you've all bought a game for a LAN party, but not all of you have good connections at home, that -does- work, which has proven super convenient for me on more than one occasion.
I don't see why not. That's the wrong place to draw the line.
If there is no penalty for trying to board a plane while with lookalike dangerous items, then there is nothing to deter one from "probing" the screening for weaknesses, and the system is worthless.
Should be aware of possible confusion with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastry_(DHT)
I think expecting end-users to know or care about the implementation detail of a memory-mapped file is even sillier than all the other silly expectations floating around this thread.
