My assumption (in your example) was actually that with PIC, func2 would return the address of the real func1 and a hypothetical 'func1();' would call a stub that calls the real func1. On OS X, this is true. On Linux, func2 returns the addre

There are some rarer instruments where you almost have to, for instance a bass sax. You aren't going to find one for under several thousand even in bad condition, and if you buy new it's hard to find somewhere to try one model, let alone co

Rephrasing beambot, some of the algorithms employed use knowledge of the next frame (or two or five) to filter the current frame. So for those it doesn't matter whether you use a FPGA, DSP, ASIC, commodity processor, whatever to do the filt

> And no, the signals are rarely converted to YCbCr 4:2:2 internally but for the absolute cheapest and crappiest of processors. Tell that to Sony, Samsung, LG, etc. who all do it by default (outside of game/PC modes) across most (all?)

ATSC only allows 4:2:0 in MPEG-2 (ATSC A/53 part 4 section 6.1.3) or H.264 high profile (which is restricted to 4:2:0). I'm admittedly not familiar with other countries, but I would be incredibly surprised if any of them allowed 4:2:2.

Some? Practically every encoded video intended for end-users is 4:2:0 (and certainly everything in HDTV, Blu-ray, and DVD.) I meant mainly for consoles, computers, and subtitles (though for subtitles it also depends on your DVD player) so I

Another fun thing with processing that most people don't realize: almost all TVs will internally convert the input signal to YCbCr 4:2:2 for all this processing. Even though data is practically always transmitted as 4:4:4 over HDMI, and has

How is graphical aliasing not signal aliasing? I've always thought it was, but then all my signal processing knowledge comes from image processing and not EE courses.

Probably. At the very least, I think that if you have user-hostile advertising you instantly lose any right you had to complain about adblock.

The issue is not the existence of advertising. The issue is (primarily for me) the new wave of popup ads that don't let you view the content until you find the 30x30 pixel close area. And secondly the sites where ads have become more import

It's still an extra click. Most of the time I just close the window - the web is big enough that if you're desperate enough to use such scummy ads (or beg for survey results?!?) then your content likely isn't worth reading.

This has a TI AM3358 sporting a Cortex-A8 and SGX 530, Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835 sporting an ARM11 and Broadcom GPU. There's obviously more differences as well, but the better ARM CPU alone could be worth it depending on your purp

Not particularly. If anything, it's a case study in how the older / more popular an online public community gets, the worse the average content quality gets. Also, pretty sure there hasn't been forced anonymous in years.

'extern inline' isn't a dubious C99 construct; it's well defined what it means. The problem is that the 'extern inline' gcc extension means something else, and is enabled by default unless you specify -std=c99

In addition to breaking strict aliasing and alignment as other have pointed out, your first example also assumes little endian and won't work on big endian architectures. Just don't do it unless it's a quick hack that you absolutely know yo

One thing I don't see pointed out much is how the iPhone is just about as wide as iPods with a docking connector (dating back to 2003 with the 3rd gen.) Specifically, the original iPhone was 1.1 mm narrower than iPods, and iPhone 4 is 3.2 m

The hostname returned from DHCP doesn't affect the computer name in Sharing. What causes the (2) and such to be appended is if mDNS finds a record for whatever the computer's trying to use. I don't really have an idea for why this is happen

You don't even need to cycle MAC addresses; just send DHCPDECLINE messages for any address the server gives. DHCP requires that any address that elicits that response from a client MUST be marked unavailable, and provides no provision for i
