Genuinely curious - what experiment can be used to verify the existence of time?

We need a Linux Subsystem for Windows

This CobraHead weeder has worked well for me

Let's say "A" has a direct dependency on "B". The author of "A" knows how they use "B" and are qualified to state what versions of "B" that "A" is compatible with. Yes, some assumptions are made about "B" respecting semver. It's imperfect but helpful. If I'm writing package/app "C" and I consume "A", I'm not qualified to decide what versions of "B" to use without studying the source code of "A". Some situations necessitate this, but it doesn't scale.

As a separate thought, it seems that it would be possible to statically analyze the usage of "B" in the source code of "A" and compare it to the public API for any version of "B" to determine API compatibility. This doesn't account for package incompatibility due to side effects that occur behind the API of "B", but it seems that it would get you pretty far. I assume this would be a solution for purely functional languages.

The Art of Electronics is an incredible resource. They have a companion book which guides you through hands-on labs. I have not read it, but I trust that it would be worthwhile.

I saw that the rendering library for echarts, zrender, is managed by a GitHub org associated with Baidu

This use case feels like it’s inching towards the world of the Black Mirror episode “The Entire History of You” where people are able to revisit and scrutinize any moment of their life no matter how trivial. It seems that overriding the memory related mechanisms in our brain would fundamentally change human social behavior. In some cases, such as for the purpose of introspection, perhaps this would yield excellent outcomes. For scrutinizing others, my intuition tells me that it will do more harm than good. This is the thought experiment posed by the episode.

I suppose similar discussions were probably held around the launch of google glass.

I’ve used http://www.duckdns.org/ with a raspi for this purpose.

Recently, I had an exam through ProctorU and thought I'd try to reclaim some privacy using Windows Sandbox when I learned that they utilize TeamViewer to take full control of your computer. This was not allowed only because parts of the control panel were disabled and they couldn't verify that I had only one monitor. I used a mirror to show them my laptop and desk but that was not sufficient. Spent a lot of time that weekend just trying to take the open-book exam.

I really hope that universities will consider their students before adopting this type of software.
