I think every national health service does something similar (minus the ambulance fee generally), but that might be too incredible for the Americans to believe?

This is such an American take. If you're unhappy with the wait time then get private insurance and go to a private doctor, just like you would in the US. But if you're too poor for that, at least you get something in six to twelve

Generally if you get turned away at the destination then the airline is liable for taking you away, so they won't let you fly unless they're sure that you will be accepted at the destination country.

I've been using proportional fonts for programming for more than thirty years. Makes things much easier to read and it's only a problem where people try to make patterns out of the code

I think this is looking at what OOP has become (as implemented by systems and programming languages that don't care a wit about what OO was meant to be) rather than what Alan Kay described. If you think about something like a web serve

You're misinterpreting what I said. I said that your ability to defend yourself and your family with a gun was hypothetical. I can see that you like to think of yourself as a rational thinker about this, but you're refusing to ans

This of course plays into the fear US gun advocates have of any attempt to remove their gun rights. If it were to happen though, then maybe as a prepper type with a house and lands in the woods you'd stand a chance against an armed mob

I have had a gun pointed at me, and I've been where guns have been fired in anger around me. I'm kind of surprised to hear somebody in America think it's a likely enough thing to happen to be worth the obvious societal cost o

This comes across a lot like you're saying that your personal feeling of safety for you and your family is worth more than the actual safety of innocent schoolchildren who are being mass murdered.

This is what makes securing this stuff so hard when you don't have proper review. What seems like a good idea from one perspective opens up another gaping hole somewhere else. Off the cuff suggestions for improving UX in secure flows j

I think you're thinking of upgrading the 486sx which didn't have the on die coprocessor. That did disable the old chip as you basically replaced it with a 486dx

One big reason is that when you add two samples together, if you overflow a signed int that's UB, but if you go over 1.0 on a float it's just business as usual. This means you can do a ton of audio processing and only have to deal

It's essentially the same everywhere, but these large planes are flying IFR not VFR and so they rely on the separation service provided by ground control. Ground control isn't allowed to provide separation service to VFR flights (

So when generating a private key, is any 256 bit random sequence good (it gets reduced down to the 252 bits available) or do you have to check you didn't pick one of the 2^4 keys that aren't valid? (Actually, is 2^4 even the right

by KayEss 5y ago
Does that imply that there are some 256 bit patterns that aren't valid private keys, or does the 2^255 - 19 not describe the private key space?

SOCKS is very easy to implement. You could probably knock this together in pretty much any language in little more than the time it takes you to read the SOCKS docs and how to set up the server side TLS connection.
