Lithography is one of many steps, but probably the most important one. You use it to expose a photoresist to create a mask for further processing. After exposing the photoresist you need to develop it, remove either the exposed or unexposed

For submarine cables there are two things here. The first is lower attenuation which allows for fewer amplifiers along the route making it overall cheaper. The second is lower latency. There have been cases where high frequency trading peop

No, at least in Erlang a variable is assigned once, you can then match against that variable as it can't be reassigned: NotFound = 404, case Status of NotFound -> "Not Found"; _ -> "Other

It's c, but not the same c as in air or vacuum. The same applies in optic fibers. They're both around two thirds of the speed of light in vacuum.

I don't agree with this. Not hitting pedestrians should not just be an afterthought. Of course the car should recognise the stop sign, but there are cases in which stop signs are obstructed or missing, and in those cases pedestrians sh

Yes, but for DRIE you need plasma so you ionise it.

Here's one that is only kind of mentioned, there are actually different altitudes. If you use ADS-B data you will only get the barometric altitude which is not calibrated to the ground pressure level. For example if you watch ADS-B dat

If it's not a completely new library written exclusively around templates, such code currently accepts strings and will most likely continue to accept strings for backwards compatibility.

It's not how all synths work, probably the most famous FM synth the DX-7 never had a filter, additive synths don't really need filters either, but for a subtractive synth this would be unthinkable. And the general architecture of

More notes or voices playing than the player has fingers is quite common, a note doesn't stop just because you let go of the key. Sometimes you want it to ring out so most synthesizers handle that case. Some even let you configure the

In theory yes, because you wouldn't need to copy the data, in practice it depends on the API and you might end up copying data from RAM to RAM. If the API doesn't allow you to simply pass an address to the GPU then you need to all

BEAM can't preempt native code, that's why NIFs should either be fast/low-latency to not excessively block the scheduler or be put in what's called a dirty scheduler which just means to run it in a separate thread.
