If it's possible to lock someone inside a car — which is a really terrible feature, by the way — then how long before some car's AI flips out and drives off a bridge — into a river — with passengers inside...and locks the doors shut?
I am really sick of people misusing the word algorithm.
Reuters did not build an algorithm. They devised an algorithm and then built a system based on that algorithm.
Algorithms are methods... processes... ways of doing things. Algorithms are not implementations. Algorithms are the conceptual steps, not the manifestation of those steps.
No, they aren't. "ppi" here doesn't stand for "points per inch"; it stands for "pixels per inch."
There are always 72.27 points per inch. Always. (Unless you're using PostScript, in which case there are 72 points per inch.) So "small points-per-inch fonts" is essentially meaningless, and is not what they meant.
The way that I deal with idiotic requirements like this is to append a four digit date in MMYY format to the end of the PW, and just update to the current date. So if I am required to update a PW this month, the new PW will be clownhorsepenisstaple0916.
[...] Hence mobile phones and point and shoot often have lenses with effective apertures of f/1.3 Certainly the largest you're likely to find is f/2-2.8ish.
Actually, f/2 and f/2.8 are smaller apertures than f/1.3.
transcoding from one loss codec to another -> *facepalm 1*
I don't know why you would facepalm that. You can take H.264 video that was encoded with RF18 and re-encode it as H.265, also at RF18, and the results are indistinguishable.
I can't draw a circle these days because it takes 8 pages of boilerplate copied from Stack Overflow, 3 frameworks, 5 template languages, a JSON definition, 2 serialization layers, a virtualization layer and p-code transforms for optimal runtime.
Ah. I mis-remembered. Thank you for the correction. Yes, I encountered some code once that a coworker had written which had indentation like 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x20 0x20 0x20 0x20. I wanted to pour coffee on his keyboard. God, that shit is awful to deal with. Spaces are for alignment, not indentation.
When? The disks I'm thinking of came as a removable platter with a published capacity of initially 2.4 MB (or what would now be called mibibytes), increasing with later models to 4.8 MB.
I was confused. I was thinking of machines like the IBM 305 RAMAC, which stored 5 million 6-bit characters (which is only about 3.75 MB).

You've completely missed the point. The point isn't misuse of the word "build"; it's misuse of the word "algorithm."

1PB = 1,000 (or 1024) TB, I meant to say...Stupid typos.
Sorry, but 1 PB = 1000 TB.
1 PiB = 1024 TiB.
Bing it and find out.
Please don't say that.
They sold for $22 each, in lots of 1.000.
Why did they quote you a lot size expressed in 3-digit floating-point precision?
Ooo, I member Pepperidge Farm!

because come Wednesday morning, we'll have a woman in the white house.
I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I believe we won't have a woman in the White House (serving as President) until January 20, 2017.
I remap mine to Control. As God intended.
What the fuck does NASA have to do with any of this? Space-X for the win.
Then they're doing it wrongly. :)

How is this different from just giving -server on the command line when invoking the JVM?
IBM is also getting into cyber in a big way. I hear that the cyber is really big this year.
It may be a scam and be laughed upon, but if the technology matures, it will become more and more useful and at one point your view is obsolete.
i.e.: If you strike this down now, it will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
64bit or 128 bit would take much longer, and slow down nearly everything.
FTFY.
Slowdown is a noun. Slow down is the verb you wanted.

Microsoft is cancer.
I think TFA has the cause and effect backwards.
Huh? I think The Force Awakens had the cause and effect just right.
For example, the original shows are post-race, post-feminist, ...
Were they? I don't remember any female starship captains, except the sexy Romulan babe in "The Enterprise Incident."
Correction: Megapixels are pretty meaningless above about 8MP.
The difference between 2MP and 3MP is still huge and always will be.

Back then, the term mibibyte hadn't been invented, but yes, when they were referred to as 4.8 it was a binary and not a decimal unit.
I believe you mean mebibyte, not mibibyte.
