I don't understand the need for a large phone. If I need a large screen, I just use my laptop or desktop. Moreover, without a proper keyboard I mostly just read a tad bit of text. You don't need a massive screen for that.

Yay a small phone. Oh it's tied to only Verizon, and costs 350 dollars... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/10/palm-rises-from-the-...

The front page can be hit or miss. New can have a lot junk, but I will say lately, have found more interesting stuff on like page 2, 3 and new. Although I tend to go quite a few pages in.

Keep mind water is much more dense than air. Also air is easily compressed compared to liquids. So the higher density of water means it can transfer more inertia onto objects. Moreover, it has higher drag than air.

20 Years? That sounds good from a business stand point? However, I guess how much of your friendship suffer during how much of that?

Honestly, under ideal conditions probably a while. Outside of that not long would be my guess.

Intel is not having the best of time for this year and a bit of last year. AMD is on too of their game, intel's process shrink is not work as hoped, and meltdown a more severe form of spectre. Plus now supply issues.

The google has been as of late though; It makes me wish the company does not have many birthdays. It's kinda sad.

You can always generate a new key pair though. I don't necessarily mean a cert signed by a CA. More akin to use a key pair for SSH.

I honestly wish sites would use client side certs or auth via a private key.

Honestly, I hate how many 2FA systems want you to use a phone number. There are other ways that are much better.

Yea some FPGAs could do that.

I agree the EE community as whole is not bad. I would say though companies that hire EEs tend be more secretive than mainly software companies.

Yea a list of pointers can be handy. However, if the code managing this list is receiving duplicate pointers this sounds like an other problem. If it's newly allocated memory it should probably be submitted to this list on creation. If

Harvard architectures might be an other example that's not really strange. You can have two different pointers with the same value. However, why are we trying to compare data and instruction pointers? They are pointers for different ty

I agree, but I would not consider hashing pointers a common tool or technique. I would say treating pointers as integers is a more common approach. Heck the STD library has some support for that as well. So any sane compiler for even a wack

Why would one need to hash pointers? Seems like a bad idea and data strutures made of pointers like trees are pretty well behaved.

I don't understand the need for the sudden change. Like sure Linus could be blunt and direct. Like I understand some people would not expect that, but if I was being dumb I could understand someone calling what I did idiotic, brain-dea

New discovery? I noticed this many years ago when cooking just a tinny bit of food in the droplet and you see the food roll around inside. Maybe I should have written a paper, cool pictures though. I guess maybe it's more surprising to

Well it's not perfect, but can you give some idea. Some times removing code and adding back a small chunk of code can be helpful. That would give only a negative LOC, so yes it has problems. However, it's definitely one those thin

I really hate the current system of CAs. Google may act trust worthy, but I personally don't trust them. Same can be said of other CAs.

I would not say ancient, but yea GCC 6 is getting old. I know GCC has had additional optimizations added since then. Although, I am curious how GCC 7+ was breaking binary compatibility? Calling convention, name mangling what?

With the current Copyright law plus other proposed things, do they not think about consequences...

Wait they just gave on GCC's because they could not get linker optimizations working... However, they are surprised Clang with linker optimizations was faster than GCC without...

It's not impossible to write, but just extremely hard for anything that is not trivial. For example take function that takes a byte as an input and has byte as an output. Moreover has no external or internal state. You can run through

Honestly, can we just stop writing java-script. Even better remove java-script from webpages. Oh wait that boat sailed a while ago. That aside I don't see what's the problem is with cross compiling to an other language. Other than

It's fine enough for radio communications. I doubt someone is going to use this to listen an orchestra performance. Moreover, it's mono channel audio.

I did say the following above: "Since something in public domain can be resold, and the secondary users of that may never know the source code exists." I am quite aware of that issue. All I was saying any license other than public
