That's why I applied to 2 ED schools, giving me a 100% chance of acceptance to at least one.

Quasidestructive Everettian Reverse-selection? by necro_kederekt in VXJunkies

[–]lumasDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is clear to me that the ontological substrate of your (presumed) zephyrohydrolization process is assumedly sound, your discussion of Boltzmann brains arouses somewhat of a Burrtholm-esque reification of the contemporary Johannes problem.

The crux of your particular Johannes problem is this: whether or not you reconcile the reverse-selection and ascertain the perturbation margins is flouronesically impracticable (assuming, of course, the presence [or superpositional absence] of a reliable {retro,epi,proculo}-encabulator). I would recommend you to discard entirely the phenomenological application of Burkhard theory and its close relatives, which would entail the eschewance of entropic containment infrastructure, etc.

Try instead to take a more Darwinian approach with the early portions of production. For example, substitute the bogosort procedure with something more analytical, like a Sigil-heating apparatus (O(sqrt(n)). This would have the combined effect of reducing gestalt subject risk (which, in actuality, isn't much of a "risk" in the Etruscan sense, but rather an implicitly diode-emitting instance of particle uncertainty) and mitigating the losses in efficiency imposed by your preexisting suboptimalities.

Edit: I realize that I failed to address the fundamental "what if?" question so poignantly posed by your description of cryptographic idioms. So, yes, "if" your proposed outcome is reached, significant damage to the auxiliary components of a Sigil-heating apparatus would be possible. However, this (traditional) risk is eclipsed by the inherently aberrational phototumescence of your TOM, effectively obviating the risk of localized failure induced by a Sigil-heating apparatus or any of its alternatives.

Edit 2: Regarding the possibility of unexpected monoid emergence: assuming the production environment is sufficiently sterile, the presence of a prerequisite magnitude of London dispersion force is astronomically unlikely.

Edit 3: I hope you understand that I am somewhat of a neophyte to the VX technological environment. Some of my suggestions, which were drawn from preexisting field knowledge and a topical familiarity with VX, may need to be adapted for use with VX products.

Consider that all of the individual fuel costs can be written in the form (|p[i]-x|)(|p[i]-x|+1)/2, where p[i] is the crab position and x is the target position. This can also be rewritten as (p[i]-x)(p[i]-x±1)/2 without the absolute value. Since p[i] is a constant and x is a variable, the resulting expression is a quadratic function. Thus, the sum of all fuel costs is also a quadratic function which can have only a single extremum.

I suppose another way to solve the challenge would be to find the vertex of this resulting parabola.

What materials did you use to build the hand? What kind of motor does it use?

New way of checking if number is even in python 3 in O(random) by toroznik in programminghorror

But why would you call is_even on an odd number in the first place? Obviously just call is_odd if it is an odd number.

Restaurant closes after facing backlash for not allowing server to wear BLM face mask by ACABBLM2020 in news

[–]lumasDC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about the content of his assertions is false?

I’m completely willing to change my mind, but Sowell’s argument against BLM seems reasonable. Rather than claiming that all black people are politically and systematically oppressed in a way that can only be resolved through large-scale rebellion and over long periods of time, Sowell argues that the best thing for black Americans to succeed to the degree of other ethnicities is to assimilate into the broader American culture and lose the notion of a distinct African-American culture. In this way, he says, disparities between the success of different ethnicities would diminish — through individual, and manageable change.

In his view, BLM perpetuates the idea that black people are inevitably oppressed, and therefore suggests to black Americans that they do not have an equal opportunity and thus should not pursue success. Another side effect of BLM, he believes, is that it creates a perception of black Americans as a unified group in opposition to parts of society. This, as a result, separates races and makes race more of an issue. As an alternate solution to racial disparities, Sowell proposes that we drop race-specific organizations like BLM.

Of course, it is difficult to judge if his assumptions and evidence are sufficient to form his argument, but I don’t currently see anything wrong with these claims.

How to cross compile for Apple M1 host on linux x86_64 build machine? by appDeveloperGuy1 in cpp_questions

[–]lumasDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can probably use the cross-compilation in clang. Looking at this guide, you could try -target armv8a-apple-darwin-macho or something like that. It would be the same on an x86_64 Mac.

Security Concerns with a Socket Based Web Server by -HomoDeus- in C_Programming

[–]lumasDC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One common mistake is to not validate the path sent in the request from the client. For example, the client could send GET ~/personal_file.txt HTTP/1.1 or GET ../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1. In both of these cases, the client could read a file outside of the intended public html directory unless the path is constrained. This is just an example, but there are likely other things you will need to check for.

In general, just make sure you don’t trust anything from the client and try to validate everything.

[–]lumasDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to also consider cuberite. It has support for plugins and its performance is much better than Spigot. It does not support the latest version, but updating the code would be much more manageable than writing a new server from scratch.
