Yeah. Due to this topic I actually thought "oh, good idea, I should automatically download my whole Google data once every month; better safe than sorry". Then I realized that this might get me banned, because actual bad actors pr

This depends a lot on your SO and your relationship to her/him/them. Given exactly the pretext from the blog post: I can easily think of a past relationship where I'd totally agree with you (very distrustful person who coul

If Google built such a product, you'd probably find it on their graveyard. So it's best to be careful and not antagonize them; because always remember: You only have one digital life, so keep your head down and don't blow it.

Judging only by that article, I'd say: Not generally. Its described as inhibiting REM sleep, not sleep or sleepiness in general. Ask a doctor to help you figure this out. Wild guess, as a random layperson on the internet with no formal

Yeah, there is only so much that's possible on the language side. Though static analysis in compilers can catch some instances of some problems. But looking up your name, I guess you probably already knew that :) I'd love to see h

Properly researching this isn't totally new. A decade ago we had a student of "sports science" in our peer group, and his advice for goal-driven diets was invaluable for some. I sometimes feel like in the past, previous gener

Sometimes a well placed "placement new" is enough. Memory pools are also nice, but at least for my work we ditched them again once the Windows allocator became faster. (I can count the times I did either of these on one hand, but

I think that's draw of the luck with 0xdeadbeef vs 0x0. I had a case once were it would have made no difference, and I discovered it when there was no initialization in another platform, and all of a sudden we got random results for so

Now that you say it, I might have lost an image once? Maybe our usage is just to basic; it's a tool for voice/video calls/meetings and some basic chatting. We can't even attach files anymore because our company doesn&#x2

I never experienced any crashes, and neither can I recall a team mate complaining about that . Bugs I encountered: 1. Opening the link to a scheduled meeting opens the browser (good), but then clicking the "open in teams" and con

You are of course right, 48kWh/d/person is what the article is all about (& I'm perfectly aware of that). But as GP[0] replied to GGP > 2 kWh/day seems crazy low I was under the impression that he was actually p

I can only second this. Especially regarding the 1st Shapiro book: We had an advanced seminar that was essentially "read and discuss the essays in the book". We were about 6 people, including the (excellent) professor. It was very

I was just wondering how to do that without using 'unsafe' rust. 1. Dereferencing raw pointer is unsafe; but maybe not necessary? 2. `int main (void) { int a = 1; int b = 0; int &ref = a; ref = b; return b; }` 3. union access

If you aimed to reduce your heat requirements further you can either improve the insulation or reduce your living space (or add a person to improve efficiency :P). For comparison, we're currently working on our home (bought last year a

Not a rust dev, but shouldn't this be solvable using generics? At least I'm pretty sure I could construct a double linked list with a sane API using only references in C++ with templates. I would have used inheritance to create a

That'd be really funny. Chess then became all about making a good move, but not too good, lest it may accidentially match with a chess engine and get you disqualified. The meta would then to put the opponent in a spot with only one via

It's often faster to search the number on Google instead of typing it from a sheet of paper. Plus with some companies I often feel like they don't want you to call them, so they hide the number on their website behind some AI that

Germany: I got my 19" network rack from a local electrician's overstock. He said 10" is much more popular for a lot of small installations at home or small businesses these days; hence he was eliminating some 19" stock.

Great idea! Though in several instances it essentially repeats the submission title (which isn't too bad, but maybe you can instruct it to extend from the title?). I laughed at this one, you might want to take a look at it: > The ar

The alternative (or an engineering trade off!) can be doing the opposite: Only care for on-axis sound, and while at it put most of the energy on the axis to reduce energy of reflections. Drawback: Works best with one or at most two listener

I honestly believe crossover design is overrated these days (for DIY). It was a necessity in the past, but today we have cheap amps and great DSPs. "The age of the active speaker" I'd call it. The smallest ADAU145x can do the

Urgs, this reads like an ad. You can replace COBOL with another language (e.g. s/COBOL/Perl/g) and it doesn't change much: > I had no experience with COBOL^W Perl before [my current] job, and I was surprised at how qu

If you use a second amp, why bother with the O2 at all? Or do you have the integrated ODAC? I've built the O2 as well, and loved it, since for the first time I could drive the HD650; it even has enough power to properly use them on a f

Around here essentially all car lights are regulated. This mostly helps with people installing such crap. Though I once discovered the inverse issue at the rear end of the car in front of me: Whoever thought a brake light should be a faint,

Depends on the USB DAC, and maybe/probably the PC. I don't have/hear interference with my current setup. I did have the issue with another DAC; IIRC I put an RC filter into the USB cable power lines (or did I just add an R in

I never really liked wearing headphones as well. I've setup my room such that I can use the big stereo speakers plus a decent mic (Samson Go Mic) for voice chats. However, Sennheiser HD650 are a pleasure to wear. Even for longer period

The prediction is deterministic, so you can adapt to it and "beat" it every time. Though intuitively and without looking at the implementation, I obviously am not a good adversary: Lowest I reached was 43% after ~50 inputs, stoppe
