This varies between people - i.e. I find it uncomfortable when the font is too large, since it feels like looking at an elephant through a microscope. The more code fits on the screen, the better.

Hm. What is the point? If you are in the field, you'll know most of these terms naturally. If you aren't, then you'll just forget them after passing the exam, or whatever. Sounds like extra-thick satire to me.

Makes you wonder what else can be used. How about power draw? If you can load and unload the CPU at will, it could send detectable waves all the way out of the facility. Many designers going after EMI shielding and standard compliance compl

The real question is - can we really know that there is nothing better than CMOS? Imagine an old star that is undergoing a collapse - the matter infalls under it's own gravity, accelerating faster and faster. At some point, the matter

Well, an image is a representation of something in a way that humans can see. Whether waves, electrons or poking sticks were used doesn't change the fact of it being an image. Say, a dolphin's echolocation might let him "see&

Sigh. I wish that was literal.

Considering what goes for tv shows these days, i can anticipate problems. However, for a "common sense" grade library that might be adequate with some careful picking.

If you are talking about the sparks sprayed towards the engines, then that wasn't the ignition system. Igniting a rocket engine like that would cause the flame to travel backwards into the combustion chamber and the engine to spontaneo

Yep, should have said "one of the first". I was a kid during these times, so i don't quite remember the precise sequences, only that the onslaught worked kind of like a BS vaccine for the younger generation.

I wonder, what does quantum physics have to do with human experience and brain operation? It's a very persistent idea floating around, despite contradicting everything we know about how a brain operates. More on topic, what he misses i

Change them to US$ or Deutschmarks, invest them into all sorts of stock that were popping up - everyone got a one-time voucher with a nominal price of 10₽ that could have been used to privatize some property or could be used to buy stock in

And this was just the first in the long line of hoaxes that included the world's largest pyramid (Ponzi?) scheme and legal homeopatics, which filled the faith vacuum left followed the dissolution of the union. People had no clue that a

I was wondering how the hell does this access files, since there is a complete lack of any filesystem access in every normal browsers. TIL that in Windows .js files can be executed outside of the browser...

The real question now is, for most folk - sell the ether, buy more ether while it's cheap, or do nothing?

I wonder what determines it. I can remember first thinking about it (around the same age i figured out how to move my eyes) as a ribbon of days going around in a spiral. Eventually it settled into the ellipse/rectangle thing i describe

Don't have a good way to figure it out for an arbitrary year. The year's offset is 0 when jan 1st is a thursday (since the whole system is based on determining the day's offset wrt a thursday), i.e. 1998, 2004, 2009, 2015, an

I wonder if that can even be called synesthesia. Sounds more like how visual-oriented people would think of time. For me, it's kind of an ellipse in front. The spring is on the right, the fall is on the left, the summer is on the top,

So the key phrase is "explicitly socially acceptable"? I often see people napping in all of the above, both here in Russia, around Eastern Europe and in South America. And it's no big deal most of the times. And things like s

So, what part of this seems surprising, bad, unusual, etc from a western/USA perspective? Sleeping in public, sleeping on a train, napping whenever? The fact of time management that puts you into position that require such naps? Or som

I would guess that this is due to the jamming antenna's visibility over the horizon. You can't jam a signal in the air, all you can do is transmit a jamming signal towards where the receiver should be. And if the receiver is on th

The existing backup is the Russian GLONASS system, which many consumer chips support since the start of this decade or so, and there are two more constellations being deployed, by ESA and China. I'm not sure how you can test such thing
264.
by Artlav 10y ago
I wonder how many of the plane "GPS receivers" can pick up GLONASS as well? Most consumer units can see both networks these days, however aviation tech is known to lag a lot in such matters.

Well, i found people to be reluctant to download programs these days, so it's necessary to put them into the browser to be able to show them off efficiently. As far as i can remember, i figured from the nearby code that the opcodes are

So... Can anyone explain what is so special or interesting about this? Both the idea and the algorithms are decades old and were already used in the 80s and 90s computer games like Wolf3D and Doom.

Can't think of any. Could be November 2nd, could be February 2011, could be whatever. It's not a reference to anything i'm aware of.

Official local news: This never happened. Slightly less advertised news: This never happened, the data is from a 2011-2012 leak, and everyone from it was forced to change passwords long ago. The "33,236 times" password is actually

A lot of this is not really relevant these days, and dates back to the 90s. All the "fun" problems start later - kernel architecture, USB support, modern disks, multicore CPUs, network stack, all sorts of drivers, all sorts of fil
