> If the need continues to exist until the year 2000, then that machine is still satisfactory. Funnily enough Melbourne Metro used C64 systems well into the 2000s for displaying timetables.

Any source that radiates low energy photons at sufficiently high flux density will inevitably cause tissue damage. For example, green light from a 5 mW laser is fairly safe, but green light will cause serious damage from a 20 W laser source

But then if there is a vuln in the industry standard system, then all cars will be affected.

So long it's deployed on laptops by default, probably not.

The optimistic outlook is that science is an integral part of human progress, technological or otherwise. The implication is here is that even if there is a lot rubbish papers out there, they will be weeded out, because progress demands pra

Because they are useful!

I liked its simplicity. It was an efficient app designed for one purpose and did it well.

Not unique to C++, but strongly enforced. Work groups that standardise new C++ features is very reluctant to make any breaking changes.

I'd argue not breaking old code has precedence over zero cost abstraction.

C++ lambdas are effectively callable objects, basically an anonymous class with an implicit operator(...) built in. They can capture other objects by value, which means those objects' lifetime is tied to the lambda object itself. When

Why do lambdas need garbage collection? What does GC offer that RAII can't solve?

4 W of power is nuts. Less than most LED light bulbs we have in the house.

Simple question: what is the "ground truth"? If you author an image on Display A and save its colours, then how does Display B know to render colours correctly that looks consistently with Display A? You have two options: 1.) Tag

Not only that, but you can use TGA to write 16-bits per channel, which is very useful for raw data, or linear RGB colour spaces.

Looks like a fun project. I should get back in to FPGA tinkering. Last time I played with one was about 20 years ago. I wonder if the development environment has improved since then?

Figma is just awful. They do everything they shouldn't from a perspective of building a rendering engine for graphics design. Not only that, but the endless round trips of assets to the server is so unnecessary when everything could be

I think the main differentiator here is operating big enough reactors that could be used to enrich practical quantities of nuclear material.

What's your point though?

There is also a manga and anime, called Planetes, which is about salvaging and removing debris: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes

Counter argument against the black hole hypothesis includes the lack of powerful x-ray activity where the black hole should be. Also, its size would be quite unusual, which in that case could be a primordial black hole, which in itself is t

Those things look awesome. What's cost of getting one of these?
