They swapped out MIT [0] for BSD-3 just five months ago, which doesn’t seem to have been announced at all. Nixpkgs still has the 0.6.5 release as MIT, and 0.6.6 is in the AUR as MIT as well. I wanted to be on the dev’s side here. CLA’s can

That deconstruction pattern wouldn't be valid since it can only use `..` once per list. Very cool stuff though, thanks!

The "5.8% more likely" statistic would be in comparison to the population rate, not the subgroup who aren't overweight or obese. That group would have a 1-(1-.78)/(1-.736) or 16% reduction in hospitalization rate in comp

I would describe that heuristic as Bayesian, since the subject evaluates the prior evidence for each option, and then chooses the one with the most supporting information, instead of considering the options' logical or mathematical pro

NNs are not binary -- they're fundamentally analog, so for classification problems, they produce probabilities that a test case is in each possible class. A binary "X/not-X" test often comes from applying a threshold to

Sure, it's a useful feature, but my password manager (1Password) already does it. I'm OK with testing out this extension regardless, but wouldn't be if I wanted to limit my data use like the post's author.

That post isn't explicitly about a Firefox Monitor extension, and I could only find this rollout to US users mentioned on 3rd party websites. Those posts include BugZilla links, but they're restricted. I can easily disable Pocket,

Sometimes it would misjudge an avoidable crash, though. When an accident includes a vehicle in front, the middle car is oftentimes liable for following too closely. It might seem logical, but that "safe acceleration" could cause a

I think the consequences of this would be too significant for Tesla to silently implement. Given an unavoidable rear crash, it could cause a multi-car accident and increase the collision's severity relative to braking.

This library does more than "random" testing: when it finds a failure, it will try to reduce the input (called "shrinking") to report a minimal example. Here are some similar tools for other languages: http://

This is solved by the union-based filesystem (AUFS) that Docker uses. You start with one minimal rootfs like you describe, given in the "base" image, then when you install sshd you get copy-on-write semantics. So the sshd containe

This could encourage people to use an encrypted messaging program that is closed-source, has a large attack surface, and that might not be patched if a flaw is found. So they do have some incentive to get people to use iMessage over somethi
