Except most targets won't modify their Firefox.

Microsoft could add the software to Defender's database of signatures. Or just probably revoke your certificate.
enedil··on 0.999...= 1
Yes, exactly, .666...7 means a number that has 6 at each decimal position and 7 for index k, where k is greater than any natural number. This exactly is .666... (just as parent commenter explained).
enedil··on 0.999...= 1
Why this is an issue, when 0.9999... is exactly 1?
enedil··on UTF-8 Everywhere
I'm Polish and I have just tangential knowledge of Czech language. Sorry for confusion.
enedil··on UTF-8 Everywhere
Yeah, but in Czech it's "č".
enedil··on Bored? How about trying a Linux speed run?
I'm using Linux on MacBook for three years now and it feels just as comfortable as on macOS.

In fact, if you change URL from /j/CONFERENCE_NUMBER to /wc/join/CONFERENCE_NUMBER you won't be needing to wait for that link.
enedil··on Show HN: A “living” Linux process with no memory
Sure, I'll just be giving you half your wage with each coming hour.
enedil··on Math Symbols Explained with Python
Yes, except you learn maths at school, while you don't commonly learn music theory.
enedil··on Crafting Interpreters: Superclasses
Off-point. Lambdas are different, in the sense that with such functions you 1) need to think about the closure of the function 2) might need to reconsider what part of memory will be executable (you certainly don't want an executable heap). The change here is in the other direction - you remove a feature that is easily swapped with a builtin, which is implemented in terms of other already existing language features.

Good that there is a stack recursion limit in Python.

No, division just isn't a total function.
enedil··on LPE and RCE in OpenBSD OpenSMTPD
That's an odd example, but you can do it in OCaml:

match (a, b) with | (1, 1) -> 1 | (1, 0) -> (fix b); 1 | _ -> 0

enedil··on O(n^2), again, now in Windows Management Instrumentation
You have your point.
enedil··on O(n^2), again, now in Windows Management Instrumentation
It's a subset, but also a superset.
enedil··on O(n^2), again, now in Windows Management Instrumentation
That is wrong, because quadratic means that the variable is in the base, while exponential will tell you, that the variable is in the exponent (just as the name tells).

> East Asians in the world do have a higher average IQ than all the white people in the world

citation needed

> some fact about all white people > basing on it, assesing statement about Americans

Americans are not all white people (in fact, many of them are not white), so you can't make statistical statements based on that.

enedil··on 16-inch MacBook Pro
That's not macOS, I'm using Linux on my MacBook for two years now and it feels pleasurable to use the touchpad just as it was before.
enedil··on Messages via JSON
Yes, sorry for the lack of scrupulosity. Of course, it might happen it suffices to change one byte, especially that this byte can be at any position.
enedil··on Messages via JSON
It can be done with any byte. In CRC, you encode your input to a polynomial somehow, take an agreed-upon polynomial (dependent on the type of CRC, not the input data) - call it P. Compute the remainder of the input when divided by P, encode it, and that's CRC. So to get any desired CRC, you just need to solve a linear equation (in quite a lot variables, but it doesn't really matter). All in all, it's really easy.
enedil··on Messages via JSON
Quick and honest question: are you the author? You respond to lots of comments in the name of author, that's a rather surprising level of care about a niche piece of software.
enedil··on Messages via JSON
There's another problem, if the author tells us that this is crc, while it's a MAC (not particularly strong tbh), it shows that we, as developers and users, cannot trust that cryptographic decisions of the author are of any consideration. For reference, crc is not a signature, its full name is "cyclic redundancy check", which is a really simple mathematical operation, that computes a specific remainder that comes from polynomial long division (of polynomials decided from the message). It is not any kind of cryptographic signature and given a string, it's crc and target crc, we can find another string that differs in one byte only, that has the target crc, all of this in time faster than computing whole original crc.
enedil··on China attacks Apple for allowing Hong Kong crowdsourced police activity app
If you can voice out your opinions only if they agree with the supported policy, then it's hard to tell that it's legitimate Chinese opinion. You are standing before a giant selection bias.

That's a game, an exercise for several nights
enedil··on Regex Crossword
That's just foolish - you don't need passwords of any kind. In fact you don't need accounts. You can just store cookies, accessible from this browser only, which tells you what have you solved.
enedil··on WTF – A personal information dashboard for your terminal
That's because Safari disregards this option, as it is hostile towards users.

I don't have access to iOS devices, but this happened on 3 different Android phones. It wasn't on setup though.
enedil··on Sites using Facebook ‘Like’ button liable for data, EU court rules
Are you in Europe? I am and recently I was asked this exactly question out of blue, and I was given 5 options (if I recall correctly).
