The author seems to focus a lot on having 64 bit versions of the editors. I'm wondering what's the downside of using a 32 bits in the case of a console text editor? I doubt that it's because you could theoretically need to lo

One answer to that is not to bear children. I'm half serious. The arguments for and against are both pretty valid. On one hand children raised with positive values and a sense of moral duty to their fellow humans may be able to shift o

What a load of hogwash... The effect of lockdown is very clear on the graphs of new cases and deaths: the rate of increase slows down, peaks then falls fairly rapidly as the lockdown is kept in place. Places where measures were relaxed too

These tiny isolated DC to DC converters are amazing. When you think that they can withstand kV, some for minutes at a time, it's pretty impressive engineering, all in a tiny form-factor that still manages to be highly efficient and avo

For simple projects, EasyEDA is basic but simple to use and free. Nice feature is that sending your boards to JLCPCB is a click away as well as ordering some parts from LCSC as they are all the same company and many components are already d

But he still has a point. Pushing all manners of unreliable tests will makes matters worse for everyone. Any test will need a very high degree of reliability or you’ll end up with large numbers of people being quarantined for nothing or, wo

That's a pretty narrow definition of loyalty. You are assuming that it's just a thing bought with money. You can be loyal to the values that your company represent or the values you expect it to hold. A company that behaves callou

The Maxim's MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818[1] are pretty good as well in that you don't need RC filters for each input, so less components needed to debounce inputs. [1] https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en

It's a shame that for every heart-warming story of people being selfless there are ten of people being selfish. In times like theses, fraternity and some humility are probably some of the most valuable traits that can help communities

They are too dependent on government sponsorship. 80% of their funding comes from the US government in some shape. I would imagine that a project of that importance deserves to be able to be self-sufficient. A US$2M budget/year is not

You have to be kidding. They were correct in threatening a doctor who reported what he saw (facts) to retract his statements as being _false_? The local government didn't want to believe in the threat and wanted very much to keep any n

It's a bit reductive to call it "the editor for VBA macros", it's like calling Visual Studio a "template editor" because you get a set of template files when you create a new project. The purpose of VBE is to b

Apple really dropped the ball on this and the argument they make (thing about all of the old accessories!) is pretty moot for the consumer. I want all phone to standardise on USB-C. No adapter for Apple, no exception. The point is not just

Most of these requirements are perfectly reasonable and i don’t see any that are technologically difficult to implement unless you underlying business model relies on selling user data without regards, in which case, good riddance.
