The jagged line issue seems to have largely affected batches shipped in late 2020. Judging from the device serial numbers, it looks like there may have been four hardware revisions to the RM2. I have a more recent RM2 (early-February) and d

Wasn't there also an Oberon book (not mentioned on this page), describing the design of the language and OS? I remember seeing it in the university library 25 years ago.

The "week date" format (yyyy-www-d) in ISO8601 is IMHO why it's usually better to refer to RFC3339, which doesn't allow the week date format. So many people are unaware that the ISO8601 format allows "week date&quot

I think you're misreading the reference to "raw milk" -- I don't think that poster is referring to pasteurization, just the cost of TPQ quotas. For those not familiar with Canada's crazy system, farmers must own mil

It's the palmitic acid content of the butter that's usually responsible for changes in the melting point. Palm oil feedstocks do result in increased palmitic acid content of milk, see e.g.: https://www.sciencedirect.com

If it's any consolation, Erdős himself said in one famous lecture that the "God" part is irrelevant: "You don't have to believe in God, but you should believe in The Book."

RLCD is starting to pick up in some niches in China (e.g., the Hisense Q5). Its main disadvantage is that it tends to have a color cast depending on the nature of the ambient light, which e-ink doesn't, but it is cheaper and has higher

That one surprised me too. Lukas is usually pretty insightful on UI/UX issues, but I couldn't disagree more with him here. Interface behaviors that temporarily take over the whole screen, or large parts of it, leave me disoriented

They source their panels directly from the E-Ink Company, like everyone else. Dasung also has two granted (and one pending) Chinese patents for their e-ink driver board tech, which actually works pretty amazingly well.

Does anyone have a link to a good explanation of how 140% of the float can be shorted, given the restrictions that the SEC imposed on naked shorting in 2008? Is there a specific loophole that is being consistently exploited?

One way you can make sure you don't inadvertently make changes is to use assertions, similar to how you'd use assertions in a programming language. For example, you can enter a balance assertion that's identical to the month-

It seems to be at least partially in response to the blacklist of researchers/students that Anima Anantkumar prepared and circulated and then eventually retracted about three weeks ago.

That lawsuit threat is really a critical contextual element here. Having a manager who's openly threatening to sue the same company she acts as a manager for creates a host of complicated legal issues for the corporation.

It's an unusual cable in that it's bidirectional, but it's not full duplex. So there's no mic input, but you can use it for both audio input and output (e.g., plane audio jack to headphones OR iPhone to vintage car head

If latency is a concern, you can actually switch to using these via a wired (non-Bluetooth) connection as well. There's bound to be some minimal latency due to the DSP, but an order of magnitude lower than via Bluetooth.
