No, not at all. Just don't be really poor. They had 12 kids in 15 years, so 0.8 kids per year. A new Toyota Yaris Sedan is 16,000 MSRP. So paying sticker price on a new Toyota, you'll average 12,800 per year. That is nothing compa

I don't even really demand that ads be blocked. Ultimately you can't do that, due to paid product placement. It would be like blacking out the Reese's Pieces in the movie ET. I just want stuff throttled. I mean everything, no

Almost all types of cheese are not orange, but almost all cheese is orange. The orange varieties are very popular. Here in the USA, "orange cheese" usually refers to Cheddar, which is almost always orange. It has nothing to do w

My dad eats the stuff. Seriously, rat poison is an FDA-approved medication that is used to prevent blood clots. The dose makes the poison. If you get too much, you become a hemophiliac. So it's fine when diluted.

You have provided a fine example of why Celsius is bad when you think "Oh, it is three quarters of the way to boiling". No, 75 degrees C is not. Your calculation: 75/100 giving 0.75 which is "three quarters" Proper

Rankine is even better. (like Fahrenheit plus 459.67°) You get the same step size as Fahrenheit, so you can adjust your house temperature without a decimal. (some of us care) It is also good enough for industrial food processing without tha

PCI isn't x86, and x86 isn't PCI. PCI itself, for example in a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip, can do store buffering and read prefetches. The PCI specification lays out what you must to to suppress this. There are at least 5 different se

Yep. The slide is completely wrong. It is showing low-level architecture details that would be 100% identical between the two cases. Volatile changes nothing on that list. Volatile just makes sure the compiler bothers. Otherwise, a pair of

That note at the end about Linux is missing a link to the Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt document. Basically, don't use volatile. Here, with your choice of formatting: https://github.com/torvalds&#x2

Even on x86, even with the C11 memory model, you can still get burned by transaction reordering as the MMIO passes through bridges. Plain old PCI can do this.

Lack of consistent samples is far worse without General MIDI. You could get a flute switched with a snare drum.

Doesn't that encourage waste? You seem to have decided that a certain portion of income will just be blown on random stuff. I go with double-approval. You could call it a veto system. Both must agree before spending. There is pre-appro

When someone slashes a Rembrandt: The replacement paint need not be absurdly toxic mercury compounds. The backing might best be supported by something modern, such as a glass fiber mat. Likewise with buildings, we can get the old style with

You could get good sound out of the Atari, as Alternate Reality did, with vibrato and note bending and more. https://youtu.be/dABvjB_0o0w?t=140 (skipping past the first 140 seconds, because I think the emulator is not doing

The disconnect is a temporary issue. Evolution will quickly replace the desire for sex with a desire for children, or will give us traits that make successful use of birth control unlikely. There is no stronger selection pressure.

If it really isn't about the money, she can volunteer. As long as she gets no pay (including no benefits) there shouldn't be a problem. It is still strange to me. If she would do the laundry and cooking while you work, then the ti

That steel truss is not a long way from completely replacing the roof structure with a modern solution. If anything it is more a departure from the original, which stood alone without help. It's not even an option for Notre Dame, becau

We sure do. In the old recipe, we replace the margarine with butter. We always replace the passenger pigeon, typically with chicken, but there may be higher-quality substitutes. If you want to paint in the style of Rembrandt, you can do tha

With many people, the opposite is the case. Work interferes with the relationship. Suppose work is 8 hours per day, but there is also 8 hours of housework. If you split evenly, which isn't normal, that gives 12 hours per person with yo

I find it weird that there would be serious consideration for anything other than a durable clone of the original. I'd faithfully copy the exterior, switching the material to something that will last. The obvious choice is a good-quali

It's just prioritization. From the available team members (American citizens of all types) the companies are expected to choose those with the most merit. It makes perfect sense if you want your team members to perform well and receive

You need to check the hands. Korea is the country that breaks hand scanners. By that I means the sort of biometric measurement devices used for secure entry to doors. Korean hands are pretty much identical.

Well, how else did the sensor come to be broken? Aside from a bird strike the possibilities are just as unlikely. There could be sabotage. There could have been an impact with the passenger boarding equipment. Somebody cleaning or painting

There are problems, but the fact that "95% of our criminals plead guilty, without trial" provides no evidence of it. Consider these possible explanations: a. We only arrest the guilty. Of those, 95% are remorseful and willing to a

I know that moving stack variables to the data section is in fact an optimization that is in use by commercial compilers. It works fine with function pointers. There are two possible answers to the problem of a compile-then-link workflow in

That is only so you can shoot targets and vermin. You are not permitted to kill a person who intrudes into your home. Also, what about a pistol, carried on your person as you go about your day? Here in the US it is generally possible to do

The density difference is due to physical support for impact resistance. The jawline difference also relates to impact resistance. It seems that evolution accounts for men getting punched more often.
