>Seriously underestimated Seems to be the rule of thumb with climate apocalypse now. There really is no precedence justifying a conservative/reactionary stance on climate change. This won't play itself out somehow. We need proa

Fish is awesome, but it lacks features and shortcuts of bash/zsh, and it's sometimes hard to translate things. It's also quite buggy IME. Great out of the box experience. Tho, I wouldn't recommend it to new CLI users.

I wish the wiki had a bit more redundancy and TL;DRs. Way too often you are "required" to understand some related issue completely to follow "the arch way". Problem is, this stacks indefinitely. IMO premises should be ex

I don't know... This year I lost all hope for Germany's future. This goes beyond VW. Until now, I kinda thought everything is going to be alright, Germany is a rich country and all. I wasn't aware of the extend of moral corru

That's not the argument tho. You liking Apple's ecosystem doesn't mean they aren't anticompetitive. And really your point is kind of... weird. It's not like you don't have to go out of your way to get third-par

The new Siemens offshore turbines put out up to 16MW. This has blown me away. Tho, they are scary machines and I get uncomfortable looking at them (like single balcony on a huge wall kind of uncomfortable). Aesthetically the vertical ones a

I think offshore wind farms have been proposed to protect the US from hurricanes. So apparently they substantially decrease wind energy.

I think in Germany it fails, because reporting positive tests fails. Nobody doubts, if the app was promoted and reporting working flawlessly, it would hugely contribute to managing the spread.

Could you elaborate or link a source. I have a hard time believing acting on lethal blood oxygen levels somehow does not apply if infected with SARS2.

Neither extrem weather events, nor pandemics are expected to be freak events in the coming years. SARS1 was a warning shot. I don't think pandemic monitoring and response preparation are a that expensive, even if you use them just once

I imagine for semi-criminal actors, injecting code or "accidentally" using systen data, are still two different scenarios. I mean, state actors could also just follow you around, or place agents as friends and family... so why bot

Also, isn't x86 ISA just a translation layer today? I thought on the metal, there is a RISC like architecture these days anyway.

Because with Linux excitement can change things. What are you gonna do if you miss something in iOS/macOS? The right people can in principle make anything work in Linux but with macOS you are left praying Apple decides your use case i

Thanks for jumping in with way more info than I could provide. I love how the DNA language, much unlike spoke words, is in close relation to physical properties of the world. There really is some exciting magic in the interception of biolog

I was actually about to write the net benefit bit, but decided against for avoiding some knee jerk reaction of the HN crowd, drowning the argument XD

I don't think your comment your comment is a fitting response as I clearly stated this is about the general, theoretical stance, where you can't make assumptions about either the alphabet, nor the text. As I recognized, introducin

As a German, I don't see VW getting it together rapidly. Germany doesn't get life in #Neuland. VW and most of the German industry are respective leaders in some niche by being good at through mechanical engineering IP. Electrical

Yes, for the looks, but this was based on old Intel.

Yes ofc. I was making a theoretical argument. Assumptions about the data or hardware matter in practice, but they are not relevant for the theoretical exploration.

What?! I got that book somewhere. That's hilarious, I didn't expect that. Now I have to read it.

Thanks for the insights! Still I think ebooks are a different product. At least in my head. I have a different emotional relationship with a physical book. The information within isn't in competition with the endless a "wealth&quo

(I am no expert at all!) I mean yes of course in specific scenarios certain assumptions can be made. E.g. for UUIDs you probably better off exploiting the fixed length pattern too. But for the general/theoretical case these intuitions

Also that thinking about string matching problems isn't good for my mental health. I had horrible nightmares on the road to my O(m) good suffix rule. Very hard not to go a little mad over iterating countless ideas and string matching s

Yes, I am not contesting or anything, but my example shows how the original BC and GS rules don't protect you from quadratic worst case complexity either. That's my point, it's not easy to do sub-quadratic worst case search.

I think in the general case, random strings, long patterns do not improve average performance. Or rather nothing will change, once the pattern length exceeded the expected value for the alphabet used. E.g. for a simplified DNA alphabet, ext

Just to nuance the nuance... We do not have an alternative to petrol based plastic for our current economy. Yes, we can make plastic from non-fossil biomass, but it's energetically feasible to replace petrol based plastics. We don&#x27
