Read closely. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed in a separate drone strike, two weeks after his father's death. The real target of that second drone strike is currently unknown.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that Snowden used GPG in his communication with Greenwald. At least some people inside the NSA seem to regard it as secure.

Not true. With the exception of CSU perhaps, every party with a seat in the Bundestag either has internally passed its own concept for a basic income or is discussing the idea: [1] http://www.die-linke-grundeinkommen.de/Word

That's worldwide sales while the article seems to compare against USA sales (but forgets to mention this).

It's the same agency that does http://www.nerd-zone.com/ , which seems to be partially funded by public money. Edit: The agency also has a word mark on "Nerd Zone", both seem to be motivated by this: http://www.nerd-zone.com/hackathon .

Disallowing self-signed certificates doesn't improve security of unencrypted connections, but it increases security of all connections using SSL/TLS. It doesn't make you more secure (you don't have strong authenticity in any of those cases)

If you compare it to the number of dreams people have around the world each night, it probably is rare. But then, it's not that difficult to learn and you also find quite a lot of people whose dreams are usually lucid without really being a

Similar studies have been conducted by LaBerge and others for decades now. I did a brief search and found two examples: One that measured EEG for clenching hands (in 1986!) and one that measured cardio-vascular activity for performing squat

Well, it depends on the hard drives you're using, and the exact access pattern, but sequential access to disk can be even faster than random access to RAM.[0] This of course doesn't really matter to average Joe, since he has little influenc

Nice analogy. From a technical standpoint, however, access patterns often make a bigger difference than the type of your storage device. The difference between sequential access on disk and sequential access on SSD isn't nearly as big as ra

Apple has had Darwin on ARM processors for quite some time. It's called iOS. The cited project was porting Darwin to a certain ARMv5 chip. I don't know a lot about the ARM architecture, but from what I understand the original iPhone was alr

You're right. I am still referring to that particular part of your blog post: >> So that’s the only case I can think of where Python >> completely throws away the value of a lambda function.
24.
by martin_k 15y ago
The value of the lambda is the generator object. How else could you call list() on it if it was thrown away?
25.
by martin_k 15y ago
Yes, but I think this is cleared up if you consider that calling a generator function does not execute its body, but return generator object. It doesn't really matter if it's a lambda or a regular named function.
26.
by martin_k 15y ago
As i said, f() returns a generator object in this case. So you're calling list on a generator that yields None once, the result of which is a list that contains None. If you change the `yield` to `yield "foobar"`, list(f()) will get you `["
27.
by martin_k 15y ago
You're right, it isn't. The presence of yield makes the return value of f() a generator object. The function body is not executed initially. When you call .next() on the generator object execution starts and runs until it hits the first yie

by martin_k 15y ago
I'm not sure, why you think the value of the lambda function is thrown away. The lambda function returns a generator object. The function body of a generator is generally not executed until you call .next() on it, so that's why you don't ge
