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…
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…
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…
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'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…
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, 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…
Note that the walled city is just a small part of Kowloon district. The famous Kai Tak Airport was also in Kowloon (now converted into an event space), where airliners flew scarily close to buildings on final approach.…
My multiple experiences with ChatGPT hallucination, even at minimum temperature, leaves me preferring a web search answer. Just last week, jq hallucinated three different jq syntaxes that failed to parse. That being…
More likely, it goes back to the origins of our 7-day week. The ancient Romans had an 8-day week. Our 7-day week comes from the Jewish calendar, where supposedly the world was created on a Sunday, and the final day of…
You'd be hard pressed to find anything absolutely toxin-free. Many toxins have non-linear effects, negligible at very low doses, so there are advantages to diversification. Even if you could find a handful of foods that…
The heavy lifting is done by GPG in a subprocess, taking information on stdin or outputting the decrypted data on stdout. The rest is just generating the passwords, organizing the encrypted files, and perhaps…
Yea, the wife came to me in a bit of a panic that her Facebook account got hacked. I tried logging in to FB to check if I had been unfriended, and I also got errors indicating my password was incorrect. My FB password…
One thing that seems not widely understood is that the assumption of normal or log-normal distributions in stochastic calculus is like the assumption of linearity in most engineering fields. It's known to be incorrect,…
