I don't buy that. Engaging content is engaging content. Math is boring everywhere. You can push on trends at the edges, but there's no way Douyin is going to succeed, even in the PRC, as a social virtue nag.

I love editing files in /etc ending in conf! Some are pseudo-INI (OpenSSL), some are pseudo-XML (Apache2 and friends), some are some kind of unholy amalgamation between C and YAML (nginx, dhcp daemons), others are some kind of TOML derivative (systemd, NetworkManager) and there's also some diet JSON in there! Netplan uses YAML, of course, though JSON will probably also parse. It's always a fun adventure to reverse engineer these file formats.

Of course, most important files contain whitespace separated lines of configuration of which the meaning is only clear if you read the comments above it (cron, fstab, crypttab) or secretly bash scripts (GRUB config and many other files in /etc/default).

Then there's user configuration stuff. Sure, HKLM vs HKCU is kind of weird, but the user configuration structure in the Linux home directory is an argument against intelligent design. ~/.config, ~/.programname, ~/.local or ~/snap/<name>/current/<randomfile>? Roll the dice and find out! You may be able to find the setting you're looking for in the DConf Editor but if you can't find it there, grep and prayer is your best bet.

The Windows registry may be the result of a flawed execution, but I'll take it over the mess in Linux any day. Sadly, the registry has fallen out of fashion in Windows so now managing random configuration files somewhere in %USERPROFILE% (if you're lucky and the programmer hasn't hardcoded C:\Users\<username> as a path) just like on Linux. By the way, who needs the "hidden" FS flag anyway? Just start the filename with a period and pretend the ls-bug-dressed-up-as-a-feature for hiding files and folders is a standard every platform sticks to!

Border Wallets is built using BIP39, and is designed to make memorising and transporting seed phrases across borders more secure and much easier for people.

Secure grid generation is provided by the Entropy Grid Generator tool, and the wallet(s) users create with it can be used in conjunction with existing backup methods if desired for when this solution needs to be invoked. We cover various use cases on our website, which also includes a full video demo which is easy to follow.

As for grid storage, there are several options for that:

1. Physical print

2. Digital storage

3. Encrypted digital storage (native encryption is a feature within the tool)

4. Recovery phrase for deterministic grids using 12 words - which provides an additional layer of security against evil maid (or border guard) attacks, as well as the option for decoys

5. Gridception (explained on our website)
I used to not have a banking app too but my bank made me ;-(

They started to require to type my own account password into websites to be able to pay via credit card! Incredible but true. As this was of course completely unacceptable I resisted for as long as I could. But at some point I had to use my credit card on a website with no other option (it was for a collective present, I couldn't select another website; I could not participate but that would have been incredibly rude and unkind).

It's not too horrible though. The app is much less bad than I expected.

I've got one. I use it only for writing. It's been great for that because it's terrible at everything else. It is essentially a modern-day word processor for me. I can work for hours and hours unplugged and if I need to do a bit of research, I can without having to pull out my distraction machine (phone).
A point being overlooked by article and commenters: the records in the registry probably use in the order of 10-100 bytes each, while every actual file takes up at least around 1024 (EDIT: maybe more like 4096?) bytes. Putting tiny 'files' into a special format is a no-brainer on the older computers that existed when the Registry was first created. I am assuming this was one of the motivations to create the Registry in the first place, to save space.
I've still got my 701 4G (it was my daily driver from 2008 to 2016) - I've had to replace the keyboard and power supply and upped the RAM to 1Gb.

A Django tutorial I used a while back used Vagrant in its workflow. I abandoned the tutorial due to Vagrant being so buggy and finicky. It didn't work due to what I assume was dependency mismatches.
Control theory person here. In the linear case resulting "system" is a linear time-invariant system. That's the standard state space system that you can convert and obtain a transfer function. But from a higher order transfer function, through partial fraction decomposition you can always write it as a sum of simple lead-lag and second order filters. So the distinction in the post and also discussion here is kind of orthogonal semantics. What NASA did was to "extend" the kalman filter for nonlinear cases (actually their extension was also not so big but if it works it works). In short every linear system can be written as a sum of trivial components such as low pass/notches/anti-notches etc. This is in fact how you implement higher order controllers real time.

The MIMO distinction is also not super important. Since you can also have MIMO low pass filters. The real difficulty is obtaining the coefficients of these filters and hopefully find the best ones. That's where you start getting into the optimality and the real contribution of these tools. But as a side-effect you must assume that the noise is Gaussian otherwise you lose much of the niceties of the theoretical guarantees. This is basically the biggest control theoretical disadvantage of kalman filters and the reason why other domains keep rediscovering it while in control it is "kinda, sorta" falling out of grace.
Meilisearch is nice for tiny indexes, but it’s extremely slow at indexing and it’s not really comparable to elastic or manticore when it comes to larger datasets and requirements beyond the most basic use cases.

Normally I'd agree, but isn't "culture" basically by definition a common subset? Race and ethnicity are born into and I cannot do anything about it. Culture though is explicitly a descriptor of common traits one can generalize about.

Either way. I hail from a particular (different) country and I will make fairly confidently proclamations about cultural every-day ingrained corruption there. I have explicitly, consciously and purposely changed my culture as I vehemently disagreed with common negative traits of my previous and original culture.

can't you just use index finger on the sensor?
Yes, you are correct - you need to store your grid and you can do that via a physical print, digital storage (including a native encryption option), and a recovery phrase for deterministic grids (12 words). The latter provides the means to storage the grids in the same way you would a normal seed phrase, but with an added layer of security against evil maid attack. The provides the ability to use a decoy too. Gridception is also an option, explained on our website.

Obviously though that is being eroded away by Instagrams lack of confidence and insistence to fight TikTok, which I also find strange I mean yeah its a vertical feed of video but really why you go to it is really different for why you go to IG, TikTok has more in common with YouTube than IG.

In the era that these formats were started it was fairly commmon to treat your file format as a dump of memory. It wasn't about preventing competitors from reading it. It was more about the speed of loading it and the lower overhead.

This was before the landscaped had changed so much that the security implications of a format you didn't parse before loading it and the hardware landscape had changed so much that there was no longer a detectable performance hit on parsing a format before loading it.

You had interchange formats which were designed to be used between systems and had a defined parseable formats but if your format was meant to be used by you system alone and not shared then it was believed that a memory dump was strictly faster and better for the the user experience.

We've since learned a whole about why that is not a good idea but it wasn't always obvious in the before times.

Yes, the modern equivalent book might be (for example) Practical Professional Cookery by Cracknell & Kaufmann. 928 pages of pure text. Not a single illustration or photo.

Its a fabulous reference book. But certainly not for the noob, it requires comfort both in the kitchen and the style of recipe presentation.

The recipes are not quite as extremely terse as those in the 100 year old book. The ingredients are presented with their weights. But the method descriptions remain short and to the point, basically bullet-point one or two phrase statements.

How far can you go by train in 5h?
I agree with the premise "you don't have nils running rampant because of type safety" but the reality "Swift apps are not crashing randomly" is far from the truth.

Right now, I have a research project using Swift Charts and it definately "crashes randomly" partially because Charts expects a subset of type-safe values and does not communicate which subset except by chucking EXC_BAD_ACCESS with no usable error.

Sure, that's example of a beta framework. However, SwiftUI is the proposed Swift-y replacement to Objective-C's UIKit and is loaded with examples of "the type system we moved to should catch this but can't" followed by the even more common "the type system will catch this error in 11,000 years when it's finished failing to compile code on an M1".

> They will not be implementing unimplemented function signatures. In my mind, in my comments, they are library users.

I clarified in the question that I'm only asking about situations where everyone has access to all of the code. So are we assuming that the organization is structured so that only one person/team works on a class and that no-one else is supposed to touch it? Or why would the class user not write a new function that accesses the member variables? Is it because the variables are private, which tells them to look at existing functions, just like I described?

> That being said, the example given, in my eyes, is not useful.

Ok, let's do a more useful example, a string class, where we assume that `len` may never be negative (and we assume that there are other string functions defined in the same way as `truncate` to make the class more useful; I just didn't want to write them in this example).

Code 1:

class Str {
public:
char *data;
int len;
};

void truncate(Str *s) {
s->len = 0;
}

Code 2:

class Str {
char *data;
int len;
public:
void truncate();
};

void Str::truncate() {
len = 0;
}

What's the difference between these two and why is code 2 better than code 1? As I currently understand it, the difference is that in code 2 the truncate function has been forced (because of private member variables) to be added to a list of functions inside the class, which makes it easier to find the function for someone who wants to truncate the string and therefore it reduces the risk that someone implements that function again when it already exists.
Cool idea, the main problem I saw when clicking around is that the granularity of people's place of birth (all via wikipedia) is not consistent. Like, one person has my city listed, so this person "owns" the entry for the city, but 10 other people have parts of the city listed (so their wikipedia entry is more correct), so they're listed for that part of town, be it an official part or not. For some people a specific building is known (usually not a hospital), so they "only" own this building. It's a bit weird.

Writing down seed phrases exposes them to an evil maid (or border guard) attack.

Border Wallets offers a new way of storing, memorising and transporting Bitcoin seed phrases for people who:

- have difficulty/concerns with securely caching physical seed backups (evil maid attack)

- want to memorise their seed words but struggle to do so (e.g. the 15% of the global population who are dyslexic)

- want to carry their seed words with them at all times

- have limited access to trusted 3rd parties

- live in areas of conflict, war zones, etc.

- regularly travel or move around

- have no permanent fixed abode.
