Rationalism doesn't involve doing math, but _role-playing_ like you're doing math. There's lots of talk about updating priors and bayes; but in practice a lot of stuff isn't that quantifiable without running scientific s

See this is why I once used moon-viewing-ceremony-seperated-values (MVCSV). The Moon Viewing Ceremony emoji was unlikely to show up in my dataset, and not only is the emoji visible, it's quite visually pleasing.

C++ is a very slow moving language. There are various rumblings about making it memory safe, but if we get a proper memory safe C++ it'll probably be in the '30s.

Hello, Your example paper has omitted non-English characters in the names of anyone who gets cited. Look especially at citation [5], where a lot of the authors have European characters in their names which get omitted. There is also possibl

You are quoting Jia Tan [1]. The malicious actor wrote that comment when deliberately breaking the check in the first place. Fixing headers or extra tests would not have prevented this, as there is no indication the headers were broken in t

I used a similar technique in a university class. We were doing a Connect 4 bot tournament, and I wanted mine to be as optimized as possible. But in the end I spent all my time playing around with bitwise operations, so had no time left to

He's using the word as meaning "insert", not the JS function. He is saying he inserted a new row into a database to get admin access to a dashboard. 'splice" means to join two things as if by weaving them together.

So this is pure speculation, but more people should be aware of parser differentials (same thing as that email thing the other day) so let me say what I mean... Hypothetically say a website has an internal service to index posts for keyword

Besides windows.open I'd wonder if iframes could also be vulnerable if they launch in the same process. Chrome and Firefox both support Out-Of-Process Iframes as part of their security setup; though I'm not sure if Firefox has it

Be careful, since at least Chrome may choose a different charset if loading a file from disk versus from a HTTP URL (yes this has tripped me up more than once). I've observed Chrome to usually default to windows-1252 (latin1) for UTF-8

The Dreamcast wasn't competing against the Playstation 1, the Sega Saturn was. And price and game library aside it had the hardware to back it up. You can see this in gameplay videos of, say, Nights into Dreams or Tomb Raider. If anyth
