Such an approach might also provide a neater solution to the infinite time-slots problem mentioned in the article.

Not true. The verifiability policy only really came into effect in 2006 ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-July/050... ) - five years after Wikipedia started.

I've run into this issue with jeans. They develop holes around the crotch six months after buying a new pair. A decade ago I'd buy jeans and they'd last years. Unfortunately my waist line has since increased and none of those

It's and old joke but: You can enclose a larger area by having the farmer take 4 pieces of fencing, constructing a square around himself, and defining him to be outside the fence.

My understanding is that the lines don't have the signalling infrastructure required to run trains that close together.

We considered doing something like this on a project once but we had concerns about performance. How much latency does your API proxy add in for responses with thousands of tokens? Additionally we found that this broke any sort of database

Mitchell & Webb did a sketch on this over ten years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E It's worth a listen.

Just an FYI. In Star Trek at least the warp system works like this: warp-1 is the speed of light and it then increases exponentially with warp-10 being infinite velocity. Source: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Warp_

This is actually very similar to a question I was asked when interviewing to read Maths at Oxford. In the Oxford version, your brother and you are also playing a game. You have a 2-dimensional block of chocolate with a poison piece somewher

Funnily enough I was looking into this stuff recently as I was wondering what would prevent Niantic from showing adverts in Pokemon Go. Imagine playing outside a Starbucks and getting a notification that Costa is nearby and offering a disco

There have been quite a few cases where malicious actors have been able to convince phone companies to forward sms messages to other numbers via social engineering to defeat this type of 2FA.

On the positive side you might end up with a Culture type situation where it's impossible to blackmail anyone due to it not being possible to verify the authenticity of any evidence.

I've worked places where we will always deploy a feature request to an ephemeral environment. I find quite a lot of bugs are actually caught by this. But I've never deployed a feature branch into production like the blog post sugg

That's true but it would seem like there would be other disadvantages to. For example, when do you do testing? If we test as soon as the pull request is opened, we know that master is going to change a lot between now and when we final

I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on deploying feature branches to production before merging them. I've generally followed more of a git-flow approach [1]. This seems to have the advantage that multiple feature b

I know what you're getting at but to be fair that probably is a slightly trickier question than it seems. You need to factor in how absorbent the walls are (are you using unfinished drywall?), what colour the walls currently are (Is it

Cambridge does this as well and I can't say I was a fan. In mathematics, three years of learning ends up being evaluated through five three-hour exams administered over the course of a week. All it takes is one to fall ill for that wee

What prevents me from adopting XMPP for my team is the lack of push notifications to my phone. I don't want to have an app constantly maintain a connection and slowly drain my battery.

The 64GB HDD on the Chromebook is quite limiting too though. (Especially if you develop with multiple virtual machines.) I suppose you could use an external hdd but that seems bulky and I'm not sure it would be as quick. I might try an

This definitely isn't the norm in my experience. I have friends in many of the magic and silver circle law firms in London. All of them have shared private offices for their junior staff and individual offices for the senior staff.
