$45 is a pricey slowcooker; the last two I bought were $10 and $30 respectively - the latter has a removable ceramic container. A quick check for what's in stock at the local WalMart shows only 2 out of the 13 available running more th

Don't pick a fixed value for the batch size; render until your time is exhausted and then wait for the next batch. Yes, this'll be slower overall, but you ensure that the app stays responsive regardless of device or CPU availabili

There are hundreds of duplicates for some questions: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9686/what-is-the-mo... ...often, with slightly different terms used. So there's a very good chance a given search

There's a longer answer here than I have time to compose, but the summary is simply that we long ago abandoned the idea that A Big Rewrite was a good idea. Instead, we've been making numerous small tweaks to how Area51 operates, a

If you're interested in this, post a question on Meta Stack Exchange; I can pull numbers if you have a concrete idea of you want data for.

That's the kicker though: how bad is "good enough"? If I ask Google for a donut shop and can pick the one that has devil's food chocolate donuts, who cares if Yelp would've given me better reviews; the basic infor

The GPU use is perhaps the most interesting here... Marc Gravell wrote a series of articles about it: http://blog.marcgravell.com/2016/05/how-i-found-cuda-or-rewr...

Nostalgia is funny that way. D'you remember how crappy 1988 was? Of course not. Maybe, maybe you remember some good stuff, but anything lousy probably either gets forgotten or attributed to something else. In 20 years, you'll be

If memory serves, WOW64 translates system calls and allows 32-bit apps/APIs to interoperate with 64-bit apps/APIs. Which is still a pretty good trick, at least when it works.

I wish. We've been doing this for 5-6 years now, and it hasn't. Quite honestly, if we could get rid of the worst 20% of questions instantly, life would be a lot better for the remaining 80%... But, identifying those 20% when often

FWIW, you don't have to create an account to answer questions on Stack Overflow. We'll encourage you to do so, because it generally makes things easier... But if you want to just enter an email address (can be fake) and some sort

Funny you mentioned "keyword stuffing"... Came across a related sub-thread on reddit earlier today [1], where a bunch of folks were trash-talking one of the top answerers in the [java] tags for his efforts in marking duplicates an

The big problem with programmers.se is that the scope is woefully misunderstood. It started out as that "opinions" site everyone thinks would be such a great idea, and within days it became apparent that the same folks who like di

The big issue here is that you're identifying duplicate questions (which is helpful!) but don't have the reputation yet to mark them as duplicates. So you have answers that are essentially calling them out as duplicates, but won

This has pretty much always been true in my experience; if you're really determined to learn something in depth , you gotta go past page 1 of the search results and look for the folks who've spent years writing about some obscure

Starvation does not require famine. Quite possible for there to be plenty of food created, but withheld from those who need it. Possible, and common. Reading further in your link, I find: > Some 300 million children go to bed hungry ever

Was just at Ace Hardware picking up carriage bolts yesterday... They were right next to the prominently-labelled lag screws. I'll probably keep calling them lag bolts too.

Meh. Mayonnaise is mostly emulsified oil anyway. The egg helps emulsify it and adds a bit of flavor, but it ain't like you're eating much egg on your sandwich or salad. Which is fine; oil is tasty. I'm sure Just Mayo tastes f

You can actually find a few of these questions floating around marked as "wiki answer" and locked to prevent the otherwise inevitable flood of duplicate answers. Problem is that most people don't want to maintain these list

Images aren't exactly a core requirement; if someone else can handle that without a significant down-side, then why not free up people to work on other things?

To be clear, Stack Exchange buys image hosting from Imgur; images are hosted on a separate domain and don't get any of the cruft folks are complaining about here. This relationship has been in place for years and has been mostly pain-f

Fwiw, hair dryers for dogs or horses can easily hit or exceed $400 for a solid professional model (one that moves a lot of warm but not hot air efficiently to dry the coat quickly without undue damage to skin). IF this manages to accomplish

All this hate for Android's crappy work-around, and none for the asinine UX implemented by wifi providers that make such a work-around necessary in the first place? There's no good, universal solution here, short of never connecti

I have a G3 like the GP... Unlocked, with latest nightly (Marshmallow) builds of Cyanogenmod. Pretty painless. You can argue that Google and the OEMs should be making these upgrades easier and more widely available... And they should... But

Well, it'd be foolish to assume that someone doesn't have multiple reasons for making a dramatic change in their life. It'd also be foolish to assume that most of those reasons are any of our business. Robert is an amazing gu
