Large mouse pads. Growing up playing first person shooters has wired my mind to a degree that it's difficult to overcome the muscle memory. This makes mouse acceleration terribly frustrating. Fortunately, using a track pad with mouse a

Considering what an average (casual) climber can achieve in a lifetime the hardest moves on the route would be very difficult but doable. But the route as a whole is probably out of reach, it requires a tremendous amount of endurance. For a

Asking the real questions! But on a more serious note, I find that I'm able to push myself significantly harder when I am able to get myself into the right mental state. This may look like hyping myself up before working out or working

Thank you! For years I've tried to figure out how to chain the Python ternary operator while maintaining readability, and here it is!

With a DSP core it often gets even better, the bit shift might be free. Say you have the instruction ACC = ACC + P << PM, that could compile to a single instruction, if you're not writing assembly directly. Additionally if you&#x

I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the problem, do you think you could explain why this is bad? Or maybe just point me in the right direction? Thanks!

The keyboard on the 9510 is not the same part number as on the 9500 but the layout is the same. The only difference I remember is that the power button / fingerprint reader on the 9510 can be pressed, otherwise the layout is the same.

Slightly off topic, how'd you get used to the Cmd key? I've tried but I hate it. It's like I'm doing yoga with my hands, bending my thumb while reaching over it with my index finger. The ctrl key tethering my pinky gives

The global menu was a reasonable idea for its time. It seems it's main selling points are that it's easy to find and requires less precision with a pointing device. It seems to work well when you have one, maybe two windows open.

It becomes a bit of a transport density problem. A semi does not take up much more room than the cargo it's transporting (if fully packed) but a blimp needs to be significantly larger to carry the same amount. They're big, slow, a

ITAR restrictions come to mind but I'm not sure if they're the same. For example, if I were to produce a gyroscope with sufficient accuracy the U.S. government can legally prevent me from selling it to foreign entities. Sure my pr

How does something like this generally work? Is it as simple as sanctions and/or tariffs?

Wow, that's quite the list! Why was such a bad (overly simplistic?) implementation allowed into a standard library?

Hm, never thought of it like that. I was caught off guard by the change when it was implemented, and was frankly quite annoyed. My suspicions were the same as the author's, that the reasons were likely insincere. But I never made the l

The horrendous load time was one of the reasons I stopped playing GTA Online. But at this point I don't think I'll ever pick it up again. Cool fix, nonetheless!

Yup, most MOSFETs will have no trouble running at 125C! The power supplies in some of our products occasionally run at 180C, without heat-sinking. But these aren't designed to last as long as a motherboard VRM. In general cooler is bet

I can second this! The TB16 works alright after updating it to the newest firmware, but still has it's quirks. For example, my mouse lags / cuts out briefly, now and then (I plug it in direct). The TB19 I use when working from hom

As far as I understand it, you cannot re-sell (rent) processing time on a gaming card from Nvidia for machine learning tasks. This is why you don't see Google and Amazon offering virtual machines with gaming cards. However if you'

I don't have a great answer for you but I'll give it a shot. It sounds like you're trying to get from a basic understanding of analog circuits to understanding the makeup of a simple processor (e.g. the Z80). The general prog

Maybe don't discount the Technion so easily. All of the professors are fluent in English as is most of the student body. There are many graduate students who start studying there without knowing Hebrew.

Most of our developers either have a degree unrelated to programming or hold no degree. Of our top three programmers, two are dropouts and one has a degree in physics. Two of them started with us having dropped out undergrad (unrelated), an

Some of us still write assembly now and then, even if it is for embedded systems and not x86. I found this interesting!

A similar evolution in shoe technology revolutionized rock climbing. The first purpose built climbing shoe entered the market around 1935, then around 1980 the first "sticky" climbing shoes appeared. Today we have shoes like the

Oh, that makes more sense! 4 * 300V * 2.3A = 2.76kW It looks like it's totally doable with those cables! But if they're running 300V DC through there... may as well just run 120Vac. The only benefit I see is that they can detect f
