All the cells in the solitary confinement wing of the prison where he's incarcerated (La Santé in the middle of Paris) are exactly the same. Due to safety considerations the inmates don't have common utilities like showers or dini

This is disinformation. The tribunal didn't rule he didn't personally benefit. It ruled that he conspired to corrupt the leaders of Lybia to steal money from the Lybian people and fund his electoral campaign. In my book becoming p

No, as he explains in the video, this is not a stroboscopic technique, the camera _does_ capture at 2 billion fps. But it is only a single pixel! He actually scans the scene horizontally then vertically and sends a pulse then captures pixel

What this really means is that there are few configuration options, that it works mostly out of the box, and that it fits the tastes and needs of the developer. I can't really fault open source devs for that, it's a way to conserv

I'm surprised to learn that it is surprising that eels are fish. I mean, they live in water, they have fins, they're generally fish-shaped... What's more surprising is their incredible life cycle and reproductive journey. I&#

Client certificates have existed for basically as long as encryption. Passkeys are more than that, and that is a crucial point. They allow to verify the identity of the signing device, and allow access only if the device is "legitimate

What backward compatibility are we talking about here? Backwards compatibility of images will be fine, backwards compatibility of decoders might be impacted, but the article says the major image viewers (browsers) and image editors alre

Yeah I understand the need for an university to make the news once in a while, and the fact that this made the front page here proves the effectiveness of the method, but the terms "Passively Harvest" and "Defies Physics&quot

A real throwback, I remember using JFreeChart back in 2006 or so. Looks like the design hasn't changed a bit since then. That's thanks to Java's backwards compatibility ethos I suppose ...

Hum I'm definitely not the target for this but I don't see the value to obfuscate all the info in an UUID, I'd have kept things simple and stored things into an URL fragment, that way it's possible to operate client-side

Yes, using the analogy used in the article, programmers are not the students trying to learn how to drive, they are the professional engineers and mechanics that build and maintain the cars. They don't need teaching, they need technica

Well you can't really trust an LLM to give you reproducible output every time, you can't even trust it to be faithful to the input data, so that's nice to have a standard format now. And for like a millionth of the computing

I had the same reaction as you. And that's for 4 simultaneous clients, too, for a single client you get 3159 ops/s (from https://dicedb.io/benchmarks/ ). I'm not too familiar with in-memory databases in g

To give a voice to both sides, Brother denies it made any of the alleged firmware changes. Also Louis Rossman's source for his claims is a Reddit post from 2022. Source : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0

Interesting article but that feels like wasted effort for what is probably the most bare-bones calculator app out there. The Android calc app has the 4 operations, sin cos tan ^ ln log √ ! And that's it. I think most people serious abo

I learned electronics as a kid from a kit that used a water analogy to describe things. The transistor was described as a vane across a large water canal, connected with a hinge to a smaller vane in a smaller water canal, which allowed it t

Is 100k somehow a small number? How many of them are working on YouTube? To prioritize an issue and not another is a deliberate act, and YouTube has had problems in Firefox for years.

I'm not a mathematician so please bear with me here, but I think a problem stems from the fact that the set of reals is "infinite". So, whatever interval you choose, there are infinitely more reals outside the interval as ins

Sure but that forces you to group options in ways that don't always make sense discursively and push some alternatives down the tree, and we all know that arguments that are near the root get the most attention.

Looks good, finally a language-supported way to remove thousands of unnecessary Exceptions and null-checks. But the nullness-narrowing automatic conversions feel wrong. From the proposal : String? id(String! arg) { return arg; } St
