Where to walk is also a cultural thing. In many places in Asia, groups of people don't form lanes, but walk "through" each other. A bit like how in some places there is less of a reliance on traffic rules, instead people watc

The upcoming "Bluetooth Low Energy Audio" standard should improve call quality. I haven't seen any devices implementing it yet, though. I'm not inclined to buy another pair of Bluetooth headphones with the microphone qua

In this specific case, going outside would help reduce exposure to aerosolized saliva. Imagine people at a bar. The smokers would stand outside in the cold, smoking, while the non-smokers inside are warmer but at higher risk of catching an

I agree it would be nice to fix this in the kernel instead, but as the article said, it might not be possible due to compatibility constraints. The fact that the logind developers came to a different solution than you, after spending much m

I'm sure most countries would like to think they are taking an evidence-based approach. A lot of the evidence is not very clear though, there are many unknowns. If you think you understand all the mechanisms, just listen to one of the

I'm not going to disagree with you here. In politics, multiple positions need to be taken into account, and angry voters are to be avoided. The pressure on the car industry is still huge, though. The new average emissions target for

My Garmin watch has a thermometer, a heart rate sensor and an oxymeter. Temperature is only recorded during activities, and as it's measured inside the watch the value is somewhere between body and environment temperature. Unless envir

Real engineering is about compromises. In this case, relatively short numeric meeting ids allow users to dial in via plain old phone lines. If my meeting guests had to enter a UUID via their phone keypad, they would probably skip the meetin

Most of the videoconferencing tools support the state-of-the-art Opus codec. If people are not using headsets though, echo cancellation is required, and that can seriously mess with the audio quality. Gamers use high-quality headsets with g

Test kits made by TIB Molbiol cost EUR 2.50 per patient. One kit can be used for 96 patients (or up to twice that number if diluted), so cost of work is spread over quite a few people. Their estimate for a reasonable price is EUR 10.00 incl

Not entirely true with regards to the question. Yes, Java is interpreted and JITed, but on the bytecode level. When compiling sources to bytecode, line number information is written to class files.

I measure CO2 at home. When the meter hits ~1000ppm, I open all windows until the level is below 500ppm again. Otherwise they stay closed to keep humidity in. My office has forced ventilation, the level there is usually around 700ppm all da
