I'm pretty sure they were trying to avoid that exact spoiler by hiding the fact they were talking about the null set. Spoiler alert: do not read parent comment.
It's psychoactive, but not euphoric. Promoting wakefulness is a psychoactive property.

Vastly under-estimating the magnitude of the task is how the crazy things get done. Christopher Columbus wasn't unique in believing the world was round, he was rather unique in his vast under-estimation of the distance…
Thanks for this. I initially went with xfs back when there were license and quality concerns with zfs on Linux before btrfs was a thing, and moved to btrfs after btrfs was created and matured a bit. These days, I think…
But if you have a single board computer with 1 GB of RAM and several TB of ZFS, will it just be slow, or actually not run? Granted, my use case was abnormal, and I was evaluating in the early days when there were both…
How are the memory overheads of ZFS these days? In the old days, I remember balking at the extra memory required to run ZFS on the little ARM board I was using for a NAS.

> AFAIK the ObjC compiler can do this step even during compilation so that no method string names are included in the binary, but I'm not sure. That would be possible for static binaries, but I don't see how that would…
Taiwanese or the family having emigrated from mainland China prior to the PRC adopting pinyin (which includes possibly prior to the Chinese civil war).
As long as it survives an autoclave and doesn't leave behind any debris in the site, it seems fine.
It was a collaborative algorithmic optimization exercise. There wasn't a "right" answer I was looking for. If they noticed something I hadn't, that would have been great. Collaborative algorithmic optimization has been…
The problem with Hypercard is that it used an extremely restricted subset of English constructions. Once you got used to the limitations, it was fine, but could be very frustrating for users learning what sorts of…
I used to ask how to find the 10th percentile value from an arbitrarily ordered list as an interview question. Most candidates suggested sorting, and then I'd ask if they could do better. If they got stuck, I'd ask them…
I think it would stabilize via a combination of electron capture and positron emission converting most of the protons into neutrons.
Don't forget electron capture and positron emission converting some of those protons into neutrons.
Disclaimer, I work for a market-neutral fund, and have close friends high up in prop shops. Presuming all strategies have a curve of diminishing marginal returns as assets under management increase, you would not expect…
I didn't mean to imply that. What I meant to imply is that at the beginning of their appointed hour, they tune in to see if they have a message that day/week.
I'm not aware how to get byte-for-byte identical source out of a Java class file or .NET assembly. Last I checked, Java AoT compilation precluded runtime re-optimization, though I presume they've fixed that by now. Last…
If your hash map uses open addressing, instead of a sparse array of pair<key, value>, you can have a vector<pair<key,value>> and a sparse array holding offsets into the vector. Depending on the sizes of keys, values,…
I've long dreamt of a system that compiles to native code, but stores a compressed SSA form (similar to SafeTSA or LLVM bitcode) in the binary for efficient runtime re-optimization based on profiling, somewhat similar…
According to the Matt Blaze article, the Radio Havana numbers station sends 3 messages per hour. At the start of the transmission, three 5-digit message identifiers are sent for the 3 messages to be transmitted. My…
Yes, but it seems I mixed up some details between the disappearance of Gui Minhai and the disappearance of his colleague Lee Bo. Gui Minhai was last seen in Thailand who showed up on Chinese TV asking Sweden not to…
Yes, in North Point, right over the Wellcome near the MTR station. It was also right near the pedestrian overpass to the Chun Yeung Street Wet Market. (The overpass was covered when I moved in, but one morning the…
Not just the Kowloon Walled City, but other locations in Hong Kong inspire lots of cyberpunk scenes. After living in Hong Kong for a few years, I re-watched Ghost in the Shell and was surprised to recognize the final…
