The photograph example has local hidden variables. The quantum version doesn’t, but nothing has ruled out non-local hidden variables. Locality is a nice property we want the universe to have, but the universe doesn’t have to obey our desires.
Selling products below cost is legally anticompetitive behavior. Anticompetitive behavior is only illegal for monopolists, which Valve aren’t. But they have been accused and sued, part of why those suits haven’t lead to them being declared a monopoly is because they don’t engage in enough anticompetitive practices. So adding anticompetitive practices would be extremely risky for Valve.
That’d be anticompetitive and would be used against them in lawsuits. By Epic, who use anticompetitive exclusivity agreements & subsidise giveaways, but aren’t in a dominant market position so it’s totally not hypocritical.
Not exactly a datastructure alone, but bitslicing is a neat trick to turn some variable-time operations into constant-time operations. Used in cryptography for “substitution box” (S-box) operations, which can otherwise leak secrets via data-dependent timing variations.
The datastructure side of it is breaking up n words into bits and interleaving them within n variables (usually machine registers), so that the first variable contains the first bit from each word, the second variable the second bit, etc. It’s also called “SIMD within a register”.
there are actually plenty of reasons to NOT want any kind of bi-directional data transfer between your device and the TV
I’ve got bad news for you about HDMI then…
My field (cryptography) is unlikely to run into this, despite having some advanced math. There’s just not that much use for anything in 2D, and abstract algebra doesn’t bother with things as mundane as “numbers”.
And cap insurance profits & executive compensation instead of premiums. A cap on premiums makes insurance non-viable even for a non-profit if the risk is too high, while a cap in profits lets it be valued appropriately. The cap on executive compensation is needed because without that they’d raise premiums excessively & pay themselves the extra instead of accumulating that as company profit for their stock price.
DoH & DoT still leak the domain name (and of course IP address) you’re connecting to. The domain name leak can be solved by Encrypted Client Hello but that’s still a draft and not turned on for many servers.
I’dv deleted the default, it’s never come back.
Yes, it’s a fancy way to save a tab. I just leave the tab open. Not a feature I want, so not something I want them to waste limited development time on. It’d be nice if it were through the bookmarks interface, so booarks could save state & history the way tabs do, but that’s not what’s proposed so I’d rather not have this. PWAs are a workaround to make up for the limitations of bookmarks.
PWAs were a feature I marked “want least”. I don’t like a cluttered home screen, I’d much rather just use bookmarks.
Except Alpine & those based on it, which uses Linux but not GNU libc or GNU coreutils or GNU BASH… Just musl libc & Busybox. I.e. the entire subject of this thread is one of the non-GNU Linuxes.
Yes, I listed sysvinit for that reason. And Musl instead of glibc. GNU is optional in a Linux distro, except for the kernel’s use of a GNU license.
Sure, I should have gone further.

He’s the only person in both the Country and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. He was a Rock musician, not just a country one.
You can do that with a single line. It’s a closed, flexible tube with a pressure sensor. Effectively a crude scale. It measures the weight on the axle. Semi trucks weigh a LOT more than passenger vehicles, even ridiculous pickups.
A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.
Swap files are useful if you are still on EXT4 or similar. If you’re using ZFS or BTRFS or BCacheFS, they have no benefits.
I always knew Mondrian was painting cow production machines.
