I agree - the authors of this paper don't seem to know anything about how rope is made. Having said that... the tool does look like it could be used for processing and weaving fibres together. As for "making a rope in…
Agreed. I would offer a PDF version of the project's readme file as a demo. OP: this is important. There are a million tools to generate PDF files, most of them don't produce nice looking PDFs.
> Every proton would have the energy of a baseball I wonder if you could capture that energy and use it to generate thrust. Most of the energy is coming from your thrust so it'd be a lossy process however if you're able…
The title of this post is wrong. This isn't about the 737-MAX, it's about a new sub-model which currently only exists as a prototype and is undergoing a lengthy test and certification process. AFAIK it's scheduled to…
Fujitsu's didn't prosecute anyone or send anybody to jail. All they did was write software that had bugs in it. If you look at the version history of any software, you'll find it's full of bug fixes. Writing software…
They're not that hard to extinguish, you can just wait for them to stop burning on their own. Which is generally how car fires are also extinguished. The good news is EV fires take a long time to burn through the fuel,…
If you used the top row more often, you wouldn't need to look down...
I'm doing it, though I haven't written anything up. Happy to share my opinion though, with a bit more experience than you have. The databases I'm working with are pretty small - ballpark 4MB of data per "tenant". So, I…
I feel like there must be better options than resistive heating to melt the snow. For example instead of a separate visor for each light, use a single visor that covers all three lights. And maybe angle the whole thing…
I'm pretty sure it's "we will figure that out later".
Or, you could just put them on the roofs of existing buildings. I mean, that's where you need the power right? All you need then is a grid so you can off load excess power (you're going to have a lot of excess power, if…
> the program is in control of the main event loop, user input is handled as part of program flow Is that supposed to be a good thing? I don't want to write an event loop - I'll probably screw it up and introduce bugs.…
If Meta does that, they will be creating their own walled garden next to the Apple one. Meta won't allow pirated software and malware to run rampant on their own store.
Ma Bell, at it's peak, was arguably biggest company in the entire world. The new comglomerate of "baby bells" isn't even the biggest Telco provider in the USA, let alone the biggest company in the USA... let alone the…
Who says I'm using their tools? I might build my app using Electron or GTK. I don't think Apple can have a requirement to use their proprietary tools. That would be anti-competitive. If they want to make money off the…
> I think Apple has a good claim that this is a factual statement that is used as a security warning I would hope that the technical protections protecting user data apply to all apps and not just apps that come from…
I don't know anything about GridFTP - but there's a huge difference between verifying if files were "transferred correctly" and verifying that files were transferred without being tampered with by a malicious party. MD5…
Because compression is robbing Peter to pay Paul. It saves money on storage, but costs money in compute. And a lot of data is already compressed (images, etc) so might increase your compute cost without any storage…
As a primary last resort there should be a printed paper backup of the database, but it's a snapshot of ticket sales that at this point would be an hour old, and there's always a rush of last minute writes to the…
> However, would you really change your approach if PostgreSQL could be upgraded by a minor version without any downtime? Dunno. I wasn't so much answering the "who wouldn't use Postgres" question, I was more answering…
Because when it doesn't work, they'll get an error message, and then they will try to figure out how to fix the error message. These aren't tech savvy people. You don't hire an IT person to stand at a door scanning a…
I run a service that sells theatre tickets and, far more critically, a service to check if a ticket is valid or not. Tickets are checked, by scanning a QR code, as people walk though the door. Not only do people hate…
Why charge $10, when you can charge $10 per month? But seriously, Beeper does have server side components. They're just optional ones. If you don't pay, you don't get those features.
Having built similar software, at a smaller scale, I think you're massively overestimating the complexity of shopify. At it's core, what they provide is (largely) read only set of products, and a (largely) append only…
For the benefit of everyone else reading this discussion who doesn't speak Swedish... here's what I got from a good (paid) translation service: "Force majeure typically refers to war, riots, fire, natural disasters…
