That is assuming the NSA doesn't send developers into OSS environments to insert cleverly obfuscated and plausibly deniable vulnerabilities. OSS is spread pretty thin in many areas. Some products you would think would have a team of tens of developers have more like 4, and there is a good probability there will be a deficiency in either expertise or time.
Great one more four-letter IT acronym on top of the pile of Réseaux IP Européens and RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation. People should just name their stuff creatively and screw the acronyms. Just call it "Bruce" or something.
it might have an advantage in forcing lazy programmers with no concept of 'code etiquette' to write semi-readable code as indentation is forced by syntax.
Since the "density" is measured in defects per lines of code, I siggest that Python mandate an extra line return between all lines. Then they could half their defect density. Done.
It's endemic to science as well. A lot of material made for general public consumption feels the need to wrap all science/math subjects in a human interest story. The result ends up being more about the people involved than about the subject matter itself.
Judging from the "usefulness" of math-related articles on Wikipedia, which immediately descend into obscure minutia at the cost of comprehensibility, I'm thinking a model where professional educators, rather than either professional mathemeticians or laypeople, review and approve changes might have some benefits. We'll see how that works out. Hopefully they will have responsive project administators, because considering I found two potentially confusing things on the first two pages of Chapter 1 of the book, I expect the starting quality of the product is about average. Which would be OK except that math texts tend to suck on average. If they just dumped it on github without manpower to back it up, though, it won't improve very fast.
I'm glad they are experimenting with this route, but what's missing in developing educational materials, other than a dirth of graphics talent, is actually testing the materials on students to find out what materials actually work. This is done by teachers during the course of their jobs, but in a mostly uncontrolled and nearly anecdotal level. An organized scientific approach to evaluating course materials is sorely lacking. It's not ethically challenging like drug testing, since you can always remediate after a bad lesson.
I think its entirely appropriate that the dictionary keep track of "widely used tech terms" like... uh... twerking? Goddamn I must be in the wrong field of tech!
An explanation is fairly easy: rapid recovery from brain damage and use of redundant signalling pathways during impairment.
Not that I personally ascribe to the camp who considers an idea of a "soul" to be somehow unscientific, for some definitions of the term, but this is quite frameable as an evolutionary advantage. Also note that not all features of an evolved being necessarily have to be advantageous because random crap can persist in a genome for quite some time before a advantageous trait comes along that needs that particular peice of genomic real-estate.
Funny, but I actually was bummed to notice this option. I thought closing a tab would free its resources. Apparently they just stick around and use RAM anyway.
It's hypothetically possible that ISPs might be influenced to route traffic to physically pass through a NOC where taps are in place, the extra hops causing latency.
Though I do think OP is jumping the gun just a bit.
Paratrace (or whatever its descendents might be called these days) might yield a bit more accurate information. Both rely on interim hops playing by ICMP rules. Many of the highly utilized hops have at least throttled ICMP responses to conserve CPU, so you need to be careful to not just firehose test packets.
OP might probably calm down and remember not to attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. A simple change in fragmentation, buffering depth, or the ever misguided per-flow fairness AQM that pops up from time to time could have drastic effects on an SSL tunnel.
You're pulling your punches. USB was a completely half-ass standard to start with, and then was continually modified with half-ass frankenstein additions to provide features that were already in competing bus technologies, once its designers finally had to admit that those features were actually useful.
Anyway it is not much of a surprise that things can slip in the USB area. There are only a few developers who are both talented enough to work do it right and also have the patience for wasting their talent making the dung sculptures that USB stacks always turn out to be.
(Personally I think the better path would have been to just use CAT5 UTP with ethernet signalling but a frame protocol that would just shut down a port if it detected you plugging normal ethernet into the bus. Then all the ports could have been bios-configurable for either peripheral or network use.)
Probably about that much, but the phenominon is not limited to excercise equipment. Stuff seems to accumulate on any surface left unused for more than an hour.
Here's an fact: for many it is not trivial to change careers. It is even less trivial to do so without losing your underwater house and going through bankruptcy in the process.
Not being a "Fat Ass" myself, I personally think everyone who goes around verbally abusing obese people is a pindick.
But then, not being a puny pindick myself, I actually make friends, some of which are in fact obese, so I can see how a stupid pindick would be limited by their own assinine personality and never get the same perspective I have had,
And there's issue of cattle being given hormones to stimulate growth/milk production; hormones that will be present in the issue we consume.
Some are, but you shouldn't just assume it.
Hormone analogues are scarier. They've already started to ban BPA-producing plastics in food containers in some countries. U.S. will probably be last to do so, because we suck at getting corporations to do anything even remotely helpful to humanity as a whole.
So if you want to reduce your weight, either put less mass in, or make sure more mass goes out.
And don't complain that my version is an useless oversimplification
Your version is an useless oversimplification
At least not without explaining why your version is not. Especially given that the whole story is about the claim that it is. By people who most probably know more about the subject than you do.
Funny you should mention that, because thiose very same people seem to be suggesting that other ways to lose weight might be things like avoiding BPA or other such chemicals, changing your intesinal flora, not using artificial light, or being treated for a virus or bacteriological infection (unfortunately probably an untreatable one at this point in time.)
No, it isn't. Telling such a person to do something is not going to make them do it. Firstly because they are very likely too depressed to respond, or remember the hell that hapenned to them the last time they tried to follow the advice of some jerk who thinks just because it worked for him it will work on everyone else too.
Stop trying to make a compicated issue simple. It just is not. Maybe you cannot wrap your brain around it, but other people can and just showing up to say "it's simple" and saying some trite thing doesn't help those other people discuss the matter any better.
ALL DIETS involve calorie restrictions. Low-fat diets, low-carb diets, Mediterranean diets, all-kelp diets, etc., they ALL involve reducing calorie intake as the fundamental first step in the diet program.

Things were better when he was young. There were tons more fools willing to take risks for you.

How many pecs do you have? TWO? I have THIRTEEN!
Wait another few decades and then you'll understand, yungun.
What fun would it have to cause a zombie apocaplyse with wimpy, undermuscled zombies? Much better if all the zombies are ripped.

Yay. Sweeping generalizations based on a reality TV show. Thanks for lowering the bar even further.

This statement is demonstrably false.
