Debian testing is currently still like that. MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 needs to be set before firefox uses wayland.

The detectors themselves, to reduce thermal noise. It is not uncommon to cool down sensitive detectors, for example, in electron microscopes, the x-ray detectors are typically cooled down below -40 Celsius.

Especially for non-production code, setting the bar to 'is it a net improvement?' makes code review quite a bit shorter. When it has become 'is it perfect?' then nothing gets done anymore. For re-factorings, do one kind

With the side-effect that if one is vaccinated with the Janssen vacin, one cannot enter Austria. But also, in the Netherlands, booster shots for those people are not available. So quite a few people are now prohibited from entering Austria

Or even without the chilling. CRT televisions had zeolite as vacuum pump as well. They kept vacuum for up to decades.

The drawback is that it does require 3 times interpolation. With neares-neighbour interpolation that is not obvious from the example, but it's there. Each interpolation step causes loss of resolution and the multiple passes might in pr

In semiconductor-industry related companies, I've seen the departments continuing to exist, but the expected time-to-market for R&D decrease from 10 to 5 to 3 years. With an expected product launch in 3 years, it's effectively

Good point. Windows COM did not follow your suggestion, leading to all sorts of awkwardness in applications that have compute- and ui-threads and share objects between the two. Object destruction becomes non-predictable and can hold up a U

Because it's a scientific instrument and there's surprisingly little science value in capturing the other visible-light wavelengths.

LG's Hom-Bot series do, it has a usb port onto which it can store the generated map of obstacles. There might be others as well.

Well said. The agile/scrum methodologies in practice pushes people to do this: sprint, sprint, sprint.

The salary is typically 10% higher than the other big companies in the area (Philips, NXP and Thermo Fisher). Your expectations about early retirement are probably not met by what they offer.

You have to clock your hours there and are pushed to take time off for any overhours you have made. On the other hand, customer escalations are expected to be handled relatively quickly.

My NAS does btrfs snapshotting of the Synchthing folder. So I have an up-to-date backup of my phone pictures, laptop files and can go back in time if I accidentally delete something.

The routing of OSMAnd+ is limited to a few hundred kilometers. On holidays I do do longer trips. OrganicMaps should still have the contraction-hierarchy routing which scales better for longer distance routing.

On the other hand, solar panels on the roof are also taking off. That's probably not enough for heating, but might be for everything else.

With Conan, vcpkg ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/all-vcpkg-enterprise-... ) things are getting better. For personal projects, vcpkg with manifests is a breeze to use.

The phase matters as well if some parts are captured out of the focal plane. Even if reconstruction is possible, it might amplify the noise by a substantial amount.

For me, with Firefox and uBlock origin, it does not autostart. Maybe that's a workaround for you to.

The one beginners often miss: What output do you expect? Ask this yourself before starting the debugger. Without this, it is very easy to glance over the point where things go funny.

Even for vector math, there are subtle differences, such as the numerical precision of the hardware reciprocal, leading to different implementations for x/y. The Eigen library did recently combine most SSE and AVX code paths, however:

There are counter examples. For example, data processing as part of a measurement application: If allocating the data fails, the application should abort that, but keep running to allow further control and let the user reduce e.g. the sampl
