How do register windows differ from register renaming? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_renaming

It’s a noise generator. It’s funky and having a noisy interface adds to the appeal for me.

This worked well on iOS Safari. Nice job! At the end I wanted to know the distribution of other users’ preferences.

chowyuncat | 5 years ago | on: Woman may have tried to sell Pelosi computer device to Russians, FBI says

Imagine the use of the word deplorable to describe certain people. This would be then used in an election campaign to favor an opposition candidate who would vote against Russian sanctions.

It’s an information leak. Who knows what attackers can learn about the host via this channel. Why leak it unless you have to?

chowyuncat | 5 years ago | on: As Joe Rogan’s platform grows, so does the media and liberal backlash – why?

Alex Jones is a terrible human being. Rogan is another con man in Jones’ vein, and the fact that they’re friends should tell you that Rogan isn’t a good person, either. Nobody who chooses to amplify Jones can be considered a decent person.

Because the police have committed crime on video and not been prosecuted.

This is funnily related to the Win9x crash on fast CPUs.

ED-209 was a killer class.

That first graph has no meaning without some granularity. Plot success of school against actual funding. It could easily represent 9 schools with 1000 per student and one school with 9000000 per student and result in 90 percent failing schools.

Unbelievable exploitative. Thanks for researching. I came here while reading the print edition hoping for a clarification.

chowyuncat | 6 years ago | on: In Hong Kong, one protester pulls off his mask and defines a movement

Jail, torture, and death followed by organ extraction.

Gettysburg wins if you use this metric.

chowyuncat | 7 years ago | on: Best Display for Programming? (2017)

I think this falls apart on Mojave. I use 27" Cinema Displays that are noticeably less readable even with the various font smoothing settings. Perhaps I haven't found the right combination.

chowyuncat | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why and how is Gartner Inc. still relevant?

I’ve heard it claimed that those in leadership use it to justify the purchase of a product. Sort of a “nobody ever got fired for buying what Gartner recommended.”

chowyuncat | 7 years ago | on: Why Did Facebook Fire Palmer Luckey? It Had Something to Do With Trump

Do you believe the current administration is also deserving of incarneration?

chowyuncat | 7 years ago | on: Apple's T2 Will Block Linux from Booting

Some Linux bootloaders such as RHEL's are signed by Microsoft to avoid having to manually enter a new trusted cert into the EFI.

chowyuncat | 7 years ago | on: Shrinking Machine Learning Models for Offline Use

For a security product deployment of the model over the internet is a significant cost. Hundreds of thousands of machines in an enterprise may need to be updated at once. These machines may not have an easy way to accelerate the evaluation of the model, either, making feature reduction important for CPU work as well.
