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

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

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 h

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

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_li

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 inco

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 necessaril

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 sui

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

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

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.

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

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 m

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 s

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.
