When all we have are the most used words, it can be easier to show what something is by showing what it isn't instead. :)

"one way that a group of things can be lined up one after the other, which is different than any of the many other possible ways you could have lined them up instead"

It's an IPv4 address expressed as a 4-byte integer instead of four separate decimal octets. 172.217.23.110 is an IP belonging to Google.

172<<24 + 217<<16 + 23<<8 + 110 = 2899908462

I rarely add links on mobile so I'd forgotten that was still an issue, my use case is mostly searching/browsing my own existing bookmarks

> I’d much prefer just being able to use the site on mobile

When's the last time you tried that? Sometime in the past year ish (can't remember exact dates), it got updated to scale properly on narrow screens, and I've had no problem using it on mobile since then.

Easy: Embracer Group is far more than "one studio", check out their list of subsidiaries (admittedly not every one of these makes video games): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embracer_Group#Subsidiaries

I think you replied to the wrong comment when you wrote this, as the parent comment didn't mention bluetooth?

Nope, server is accepting connections but isn't sending anything in response to requests:

  $ curl -v http://reactos.aaron.cc/
  *   Trying 136.244.80.24:80...
  * Connected to reactos.aaron.cc (136.244.80.24) port 80 (#0)
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  > Host: reactos.aaron.cc
  > User-Agent: curl/7.79.1
  > Accept: */*

(no response within 60 seconds)

I do not know for sure either way, but my assumption is that it would be different if you must create a user account and in the process agree to terms of service that prohibit scraping.

The link in the first half of the sentence you quoted, leads to a Cloudflare page that has lots of info which may answer your question.

"Cloudflare Area 1 is a cloud-native email security platform. It crawls the Internet to stop phishing"

and also

"Proactively hunt for attacker infrastructure and campaigns with our massive-scale phish indexing."

and also

"Scans the Internet for attacker infrastructure, sources, and delivery mechanisms to stop phishing attacks days before they hit the inbox."

That isn't Gitlab saying those are the requirements for being "open-source", it's just their requirements for who they are willing to give a generously large amount of free services to.

I think it's quite fair to say you're not going to give free services out to open source projects that are seeking to fundraise beyond covering their costs.

The person in the comments said the period is only ~233k, which is correct, because you are always taking modulo 233280. But it's also easy to verify experimentally:

  let state = 6, iters = 0;
  do {
    state = (state * 9301 + 49297) % 233280;
    iters++;
  } while(state !== 6);
  console.log("period is", iters, "iters");
  //period is 233280 iters

If you instead took modulo 2^32, I believe the period would indeed be the maximal period, according to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator#...

In OP's case, it sounds like the issue submitter is already being pushy and demanding.

Gloves can get caught in moving machinery. If your hand is inside the glove, your hand, arm, or maybe your whole body might also get violently yanked into that machine along with the glove.

The article puts a lot of weight on the use of pre-existing technology in a new mode for making deep bore holes, and glosses over the engineering challenges that have yet to be solved ("transmitting a clean beam and having it operate at a high energy density without breakdown").

I'm not equipped to judge how difficult those problems will be to overcome in practice. Obviously this would be very cool if it bears out, but it's hard to tell if it will.

VISA was trying to have themselves removed from the lawsuit before trial even happens, but this ruling is where the judge lays out why the plaintiff has both standing and a possible cause of action against them and therefore why they must be included in the lawsuit.

> Clojure brings all the XML pain of Java dependencies

You don't have to use pom.xml for Clojure projects. The default, included-with-the-clojure-cli support to define your dependencies in deps.edn makes dependency management extremely simple

  ;deps.edn
  {:deps {org.postgresql/postgresql {:mvn/version "42.4.0"}}}

In many large cities, there's shorter-than-a-week minimum notices for street closures. For example in DC, no-parking permits have to be posted at least 72 hours in advance.

If you are going out of town for longer than that amount of time, you either need to find somewhere you can pay to park your car, or you need to get a neighbor or friend to check in on it periodically and move it if there's a sign.

This responsibility is the only cost of using public space to store your car, aside from a nominal annual vehicle registration fee. Seems fair to me.

Yep

I would imagine that Amazon either won't let you refund this (since it's basically a gift card), or if you try to refund it and return an opened package your refund will get denied.

No need to specifically invalidate the code inside to stop you from doing refund fraud.

The FPGA dev boards I worked with in a college course circa 2009 had a couple of PowerPC cores thrown in as a bonus, with a whole system for being able to interface between CPU and FPGA: https://www.xilinx.com/content/dam/xilinx/support/documents/...

It's not even the first time this little bit of the sky has been imaged by one of our space telescopes, but that makes the image no less beautiful.

It's really cool to see all the additional, older galaxies visible in JWST's infrared which were not previously visible to Hubble!

The format of the uncompressed files matters just as much in terms of bit error resilience.

Compression or not, you can always use an additional tool to produce and store extra parity data which can be used to both correct and repair bit errors, which seems like the correct answer for digital archival.

Also those images in that supplementary PDF are unredacted, with a separate oval superimposed over the face.

The 7th digit is a checksum digit, as previously noted. So only 6 "free" digits so a million is correct.

They may have been making a coy reference to nuclear winter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter)

If they wanted to balance these concerns they could always split the photo in half and send half before, half after.

I believe that replacement is Logback [1] + SLF4J, according to the intro section on Wikipedia's log4j article [2]

The audit discussed in the article was "several years" after 2011. The document I linked discusses, on page 17, a 2012 GAO report on 21 large NASA projects and discusses how its cost overruns are affecting other programs, which could be motivation to can the project or otherwise give the impression it will "never get off the ground"

I brought it up because it more closely fit GP's "2012" timeline and shows that even before the audit in the article, there was good reason to doubt the future of the mission.
