The facial recognition can tell my kids apart better than I can (with just the cropped face; other context makes it obvious which kid is which).

Commercial power nearly always pays a monthly charge based on the peak deliverable power. However, the utility rates are regulated, and the regulators allow the power companies to charge customers more to recoup any capital expenditures. P

(S)ATA or PCI to DRAM adapters were widely available until NAND became cheaper per bit than DRAM, at which point the use for it kind of went away. IIRC Intel even made a DRAM card that was drum-memory compatible.

You can fit a fuse in the body of a NEMA 1-15 connector; outdoor Christmas lights, for example do this.

Then use a 6A charger? Assuming it's 2x the voltage of the US that's the same power as a 12A charger would be in the US, and I get plenty of charging at 16A (which is the maximum continuous load on a 20A circuit)

IMO it should be illegal to sell an unfused extension-cord. That would solve like 95% of the issues that get blamed on extension cords.

How can the GC be precise when C and C++ allow casting between pointers and integers?

Which is one reason why robust antitrust enforcement is necessary, yet most of the antitrust laws on the books have barely been enforced since the late 70s.

The need for better parallel machine AMMs is particularly noticeable when writing lock-free data-structures. I often learn more by just looking at the disassembly of the compiler output on diverse architectures than I do from reading the m

Many Boomers may have heard something along the lines of "Many kids in Japan are starving and would love to have that food" even, bringing this somewhat full-circle.

One comedy (I think State and Main ) had something like "Only 2 animals were harmed in the production of this film" as a joke in the credits.

Okay, than a traditional setjmp/longjmp implementation is zero-overhead because I don't care about space or time!

Exceptions in C++ are never zero-overhead. There is a time-space tradeoff for performance of uncaught exceptions, and G++ picks space over time.

I have listened to that song probably 100s of times and always heard "checks," so I just learned something new about that song. Thanks. Maybe less embarrassing than talking about Rock the Cashbar by The Clash (though that one w

They make hotswap bays that fit in 5.25" drive bays, and you can find NOS towers that have the necessary number of drive bays. There are also 3d-printale cases where you buy a SATA backplane and screw it in. It doesn't solve your

The ampersand implies that a value will be written to to me (though it's slightly more complicated because many ABIs are inefficient with structs passed-by-value so it's occasionally used for efficiency there as well).

Definitely not because the law would apply e.g. to someone who lives in a different state, but loads the site while physically in Mississippi.

C also has a (granted very small on Unix) runtime[1]. On windows the C runtime is a bit larger, since windows processes get a single string for their arguments, which must be parsed into argc/argv. As far as "you have to also dyn

As soon as you move to "C with classes and the STL" you've now also bought into exceptions, as the STL is not even remotely ergonomic with exceptions disabled.

Indeed it doesn't mean it's slow, I was just questioning the "record" part.

Not the problem the author is pointing out (otherwise paying extra for an M2<->SATA adapter would be stupid). It's that the price of a SATA hard drive with capacity > 4TB is more (sometimes a lot more) than the price of an
