Yes, if I remember correctly, any n-ary number system is equivalent and you can translate any proof between them. It's just easier to work in one or another system.

S3 is basically a database. You can store everything there and interact with it via SQL with Athena, for example. I could see utilizing all of Amazon's "infinitely scalable" services to build very simple and powerful software

In many places it's considered parking, legally, anytime you stop and place the car in park.

by lambda_obrien 6y ago
It's not common for it to be legal except in very specific situations. I don't know if it's American, but they do it here a lot in dense cities for deliveries. It's not a true parking, like for hours, it's for runni

No, literally youtube had ads which just said things like, "does your kid hate it when youtube has commercials? Does it annoy you when they scream because of that? Pay us to remove them!" It works be one thing to advertise a servi

I would pay, except youtube had these ads that are like, " hate being annoyed by ads? Pay us!" Fuck youtube.

The personal data itself should not be logged but the event itself should be logged with lots of details that aren't private info.

Always log important events with a timestamp and save them as long as possible. It saved me more than once in similar situations with several threads.

And why should the home I paid for be auctioned by the government? How is that fair for anyone but the wealthy? You're saying that only the rich can stay in one place, everyone else has to move to the middle of no where or risk losing

What I'm saying is this specific article seemed to be trying to point at the pieces which could be seen as racist or sexist or whatever. I'm saying this is art and saying it sucks is one thing, but this is another kind of takedown

That's one way to look at it, sure. Another is that it's the wild west and normal people will get bankrupt.

Only in 2021 can a man go from art sensation to what appears to be on his way to being cancelled inn like 3 days. I don't care, personally, but man oh man this year isn't gonna be much more normal than last. I actually think it&#x

So by your accounting, if I purchase a home in Stockton, CA right now, then in 40 years when I'm old and can't afford the taxes on my lifelong home because Stockton is huge then, I'm to be kicked out for a more productive use

I'll have to take a look at freebsd, does anyone have a good reference to the differences in a bsd versus Linux?

And people here wonder why I think weapons research is immoral! It's because it doesn't just stay a military weapon. If you research weapons, they'll be used on innocents, no matter what. Your research into targeted weapons o

That's pretty much me, I told my wife if I put up the finger to wait and try again in 15 minutes, unless it's my son's daiper or whatever, then I'll happily take the loss of context. I also found that functional programm

It's a video game, so maybe give them some slack. We're not talking a SolarWinds breach here.

> There are a lot of objections to working outside of work, even if that work is for yourself. Many of them are valid. I only write for people like me, who have the energy and desire to make this work but have been lacking a guide. I tho

It's hard enough to understand a codebase, but if a language was like Haskell for instance (you can enable certain extensions in Haskell with a flag at the top of a file), you could have a line at the top of a file defining that this f

Moral would be not killing other humans for power, resources, etc. I'm comfortable with my beliefs, and I understand your position as well. I personally understand the need for a military, but there are some weapons I wouldn't hav

I run NoScript and I basically only browse hn these days, literally. Half the links here don't work, either, so I usually don't even read those. Twitter is a wasteland for me. I've accepted it, and I enjoy being an antisocial

That's the exist everyone gives: "everybody else is doing it" It's still immoral.

I think researching this stuff today is pretty immoral. If you're creating shit like this, you're inventing the next land mine. Stop it.

I don't get why a language can't have both 0 and 1 based indexing, just set it as a compiler flag or something. They are a homomorphism, it's not hard to add or subtract one.
