Can you explain what rule this is? I'm highly curious as to what rule can solve all derivatives, and it might be useful for me.

"7 bits" versus "half of 8 bits" are two slightly different things. One has a padding, the other does not. So the file size for a 7 bit encoding would be slightly smaller than an 8 bit one.

Can you use Photoshop filters to do this, or are there more professional programs to do so?

As a curiosity, how many bits were gained (rather than lost) when the second and third characters obtaining a death note were entered? (female and male respectively) Do the bits of entropy add on, or does it not matter at all?

I had the same thing happen to me. I realized it was because I stopped reading regularly. Before, I would used to read at least 1-2 novels (100-200 pages per book) a day. And during that time period, I had an awesome vocabulary and I could

It's impossible to delete your account with Godaddy, that's probably what he's referring to.

I play violin, so although I'm not illiterate in reading music, I find that when I look at a piece, I cannot immediately understand what the melody sounds like until I actually play it. I have trouble switching from different keys between p

It'd be nice if it was possible to search up an exact song based on the melody. Sometimes I remember a melody but I can't remember what song it came from, and it drives me nuts trying to find it.

So does this mean using biginteger for small numbers could require almost 30x more memory?

Aside from the bigger companies, I can see why some of the smaller ones wouldn't want to do this, like the restaurants or his vet. Most of the time they just hired someone to create the website, and be done with it. They don't know how to i

The purpose of the visibility feature was for positioning purposes. Determining player position is not a trivial task, and the information is not unnecessary, it was an engineering generalization that made certain game features easier to de

Well, that was what the author of the article was trying to tell us, wasn't it? Don't give marks and they'll be intellectually curious. Anecdote: I was really good at school at a young age, and I would get easy 80s in all my classes, so I n

From the title I thought "give 100%" meant putting in your full effort, rather than the mark you got. Maybe change it to something less ambiguous?

I almost laughed out loud at the part "Have you ever invented a programming language? :-)" Off topic: It annoys me when people go "Oh you don't know this person? But they're so famous!" because not everyone knows all the famous people in ev

Though the main problem if someone breaks into your system, the first person you'd suspect is your SSH buddy, because there is a possibility of them using a public machine to log in. Who would want to carry the burden of being your first su

Depending on the design, some would require some sort of ugly hack and a lot of testing to get it to work in all browsers consistently. Sure, anything is possible on the web, but it'll probably require flash or use a fixed position layout.

No, it was done in C#, and even if it was in C, it's not worth the trouble to preprocess the code anyway. The assignment answers were usually simple but short. Something like sorting a linked list using insertion sort. If you have no idea h

In my university programming class, we submitted assignments using turnitin, the same software you saw in the screenshot. We were allowed to see how much of our programs matched other people's programs, and where it was copied from. Scores

Personally, it usually doesn't cross my mind to remap the keys when I make simple games, because I'm so busy thinking about all the logic to actually make the game work. If the game is particularly simple, it's not worth my time to make a s

Leaving medicine to doctors is not the same as leaving politics to politicians. One has far stricter requirements than the other. Not everybody can become a doctor. But almost anybody, from teachers to movie stars, can run for politics. The

The difference between stories and technical papers is that stories leave the conclusion for the ending and technical papers put the ending at the beginning. The article seems to share a bit of both.

I imagine it's because iPads also fall under the category of iOS.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you say it's the other way around. Can you elaborate on this? EDIT: Oh, you've edited your comment

It's not incorrect. At the bottom of the blog post, they explore different ways to "trick" people trying to look at the fingerprints If that weren’t enough, my friend actually brainstormed a couple of other ways to improve the password. li

Wouldn't this be a crazy bandwidth hog? If I typed in multiple search terms, and didn't load any of my results, it would have automatically downloaded everything for no reason.

But how would you quantify the amount of learning that you've actually retained? Would it not be through some sort of question-answer based system on the material that you've covered, and using a weighted scale for each question depending o

I'm asian, and my method of studying is the similar to the one in the article. But a couple of months ago, to my horror, my own father advised me to use that tactic. (trying to figure out the exam answers in advance using previous exams) I

Except apple advises you not to use reference counting when trying to debug. So when reference counting doesn't work, you still have to go back and manually count the references yourself...
