But then, temporary become permanent because either the task never complete or because people just forgot. It's always when the problems start to appear that the temporary privileges are finally revoked.
In my case the problems were mostly due to incompetence, but sometimes a malicious action happens...
That doesn't seem even remotely useful in practice.
- he is from neighboring DRC, not Ugandan;
- based on his description of his travels, he lives in the overwhelmed Kyaka II camp, and was probably recently displaced due to the M23 campaign;
- he was probably already enrolled in the course before being displaced, so a young full-time student, probably not even aware of how the system work in his origin country.
My bet is that he just said to ship it to a drop location in Kampala and that he would find a way to get there to retrieve it.
In the end, the Hubris was probably not on OP's side, but on Django's side, thinking he could get a laptop shipped to him while avoiding entirely the camp's organization. Although he did manage it after all...
For comparison, in mathematics I learned to read all the symbols in french, and only learned their english equivalent much later, so it feels uneasy for me when i read their english version. So it is clearly a matter of habit that took its root when you learned reading.
The fact that the author achieves only a 3 to 6 times speedup on a processor running at a frequency 857 faster should have led to the conclusion that old optimizations tricks are awfully slow on modern architecture.
To be fair, execution pipeline optimization still works the same, but not taking into account the different layers of cache, the way the memory management works and even how and when actual RAM is queried will only lead to suboptimal code.
It was apparently his first time in this school, and he was not prepared for the controversy that happened due to his (controversial) stance on the scientific method. He ended up calling us names, and privileged kids (that part was 97% true, but not entirely true...).
It's only after his death that many articles praising him appeared. I guess people capitalize on its notoriety rather than on whatever bullshit he wrote...
What it says it that the statue should have been in bronze, but is instead in "ferrous metal" and must have been replaced around september 2005.
Anyway, the idea was that the golden one was not buried, only a "pass-out" one.
The bronze owl was to be exchanged with the precious metal one. In the french news, they specifically mentioned that the bronze one was found.
If you think about it, it makes more sense. The co-founder was given the rights to the original treasure hunt because he is the owner of the valuable owl. He is the one who financed the whole thing.
From what I've seen during my travels, there are lot of variations for foosball tables. Each countries seem to have their own variations.
The problem is the Seine phreatic zone, which starts usually between 15 to 25m below the surface. Some GRS galleries are actually completely inundated and others have a level of water that varies between the seasons.
In order to have some metro going underneath the Seine river, they had to freeze it first. It is not an easy task, so there must be a real advantage to going under the Seine.
Wikipedia is good for finding secondary source, and then primary sources by following the links.

I've been a developer for embedded systems in the telecom industry for nearly two decades now, and I had never met anyone using something else than "cycles" or "symbols" until today... Except obviously for the mean RTT US<->EU.
For the user hostility, there argument was that people who dislike the new behavior do not have telemetry enabled, and thus they do not deserve to have the features they want. It's quite ironic considering firefox main advantage is their privacy oriented model...
- Inflated incidence response, probably help for asking more budget
- "real-life situation" field training
In any case, I wouldn't say the terrorism comes directly from the police, but from the stalkers. The police might benefit from the situation, however.
> "hybrid solutions make implementations even more complex".
> If the words are taken purely at face value then they're clearly correct
The argument here is that the complexity is mostly due to the adding of new algorithm, not the hybridization. It goes on to argue that the added complexity due to the hybridization itself is negligible, especially considering the level of security provided.
That's wrong on many levels. Bold and stupid "hacks" committed by teenagers using SE tend to get a lot of traction, because it is both bold and stupid. This hasn't changed. But "back then" there was much more than that...
The only people using linters at that time was because it was forced by regulation (like automotive, aeronautics, ...)
Your interpretation of the goal is also valid, but not in a cryptography context, for example.
I arrived a few months after that, so someone tried to explain to me but either my memory is wrong or the explanation was flawed.
The management had to chime in and sometimes threatened people with punishment if they continued participating to the reply-all storm.
If you ignored the conversation you may not have seen it, but most reply-all storm ended up with someone saying something the line of "we don't care about your wallet".
Anyway, asking people to stop hitting the reply-all button is far from being the latest reply-all on these kind of things...
The reason why you may think it has been suppressed as a conspiracy theory is probably because the people pushing the more for it actually use conspiracy theory patterns. In reaction, report about these loud yeller providing out-of-context, with often ridicule arguments, are dismissed as conspiracy theories.
There is nonetheless some objective reports a lab leak hypotheses and how improving lab security is important to prevent this kind of things either way.
I'm not sure to follow you here. The TYPE modes are ASCII, IMAGE, EBCDIC and Local byte size. The "binary mode" being Image and "text mode" being ASCII in current FTP clients.
The IMAGE mode is the one that actually transfers file as they really are without any changes. The other 3 formats are actually used for character conversion, with an additional parameters to specify telnet or ASA conversion, and even changing the byte size in case of L.
In the end, the "text mode" is the one that will tend to corrupt your file (thanks to the CR/LF, LF/CR, LF discrepancy between the 3 major desktop OS).
Always choose TYPE IN (Image Non-print) by default!
