Even more impressive are IMO the current songs people compose on the SID. This guy is an artist in the true sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpnGDHo0Bg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI5d6Y0Fzl4 Yes

If you behave lawful, you'll create one single tracking history for everything tied to your real life person. If you don't, you apparently can get away with stuff like that AND on top of that you won't create a single, cohe

Oh you are right. It actually _does_ have a time shift. I take back what I said and assert the opposite! Thanks for the explanation.

I see, thanks. But that rather sounds like the buoy itself is switching modes? From the look of all the plots, even the far-away ones, it rather looks to me like they have been remotely switched into event mode (with that 15s stuff being pl

The spike corresponds to about 15min delay between the quake at 9:31 UTC. But some kind of spike visible in all stations at that time, even very far away ones, like Mendocino bay . Honestly, this looks to me rather like some bad data due t

At least the time stamps in the plots seem to correspond to current time in GMT.

by onnoonno 9y ago
But that doesn't fit the data, either. The buoys all report something around the 9:45ish GMT mark. And 1500m/s would mean you reach Mendocino bay in California only about now or so. But have a look at the plot: https://

What I don't get is that nearly all the buoys that have that moving icon "Tsunami alert" show some excitation at the ~9:45GMT mark. But I would of course expect the buoys that are farther away to only show some kind of peak w

I have easily more than 100 firefox crashes for each kernel crash, and I guess that is similar for other people(?) So I think the session restore is almost always used in a case where firefox crashed, but the system is fine.

I think versatility and the absolutely easy on-ramp are Python's killer app. The 'absolute noob' can start writing simple python code after 5min of introduction (you can start using it like BASIC), while the 'senior dev&

Are you sure? Bonnie++ has byte-wise and block-wise tests. Yes, the byte-wise tests are CPU bound (as expected), but I have not seen that for the block-wise tests on any machine so far?

Well, but then that simply is a choice , isn't it? I would not expect to be paid in full if I work part-time - why should that be true if I would be a woman?

FTA: > But the argument that “life choices” made by women are the real reason behind the gap is, in itself, an absurd oversimplification. Sure, many women choose to stay home or cut back their hours after having children. But many others

In a way, message passing using the usual way, methods, means TWO messages are passed: The parameters and the return value. I think that obscures the better parts of the OOP view quite a bit.

Ah, thanks. I am still a bit lost though: What are they going to brute-force then, if there's no such security enclave?

Wait a bit... So you say that they actually store the keys on the external NAND instead of the supposed-to-be-very-secure crypto parts of the CPU? They apparently have secure memory to store the PIN. It sounds unlikely that they have not en

Yes, it looks like the real problems occur (as also mentioned in his post) whenever encountering self-modifying code. I wonder whether it would be possible to detect and then either pattern match or manually resolve those cases of self-modi
