The company I worked for in the early 80’s was in the market for a CAD system, and they all had constraint systems in the UI, and showed them in the demos.

I attended the Long Beach and Laguna Seca races in 1995. Nothing in common with ovals except they were closed loop, just like Monte Carlo.

It’s true that the POTUS is subject to the US courts. But I think it is fair to read TFA as a lament about an unwise assumption that is broader than “Biden wouldn’t have done certain things.” The organs of the EU should protect EU interests

My college required its graduates to pass a minimal swimming test. Just enough swimming ability to give a potential rescuer some extra time to effect the rescue, rather than have us go straight to the bottom of the sea. We all took a test i

In the last “big” shop I worked in, we were cross-compiling all production code. Each target device had an SDK that came with a GCC and a kernel tarball, inter alia. We had a standard way to set these up. We used C++03 for years. We decided

Argentina is a deeper example. A mfr can/could build a plant in Tierra del Fuego and avoid tariffs. But it has been cheaper to fly to Manhattan and buy your iPhone than to buy whatever cellphones are available in Buenos Aires.

Some Americans do think that the Electoral College is not that democratic. I live in one of the states that belongs to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

DIRECTV had a box that had integrated satellite tuning and EPG. I don’t know what happened to that service, but my guess is the service ended around the time you found the HDDs available? TiVo had a few experimental features and NBC helped

I used to work at a place where this happened, but it was our testers, and they mostly did it during breaks. After we developers found out, we’d also do it to hone our code. But obviously this input doesn’t resemble valid input.

When you get dental X-rays, the technician aligns the instrument and leaves the room to push the button that triggers the image capture. Another problem to solve though, is ignoring the E-M radiation from small life forms that may be in the

Starbucks allows you to order from home, and drive to the store. The ones I go to usually have my Americano waiting for me when I get there. Starbucks also seems to allow store managers to shut down app orders if the store is too busy. McDo

I don’t think TECO is inherently bad for this size of file. What might be tough is, if anything were compute-bound, and the processor were loaded down with other jobs, you could have the usual timeshare-related problems. If you wanted to lo

The old Chrysler manufacturer had a Plymouth division with a set of Fury models so I was ready chuckling before I clicked through. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Fury

I don’t remember if there are instructions for putting any value of parity as such into the spare bit.

On the DEC-10 the word size is 36 bits. There was (an option to include) a special set of instructions to enable any given byte size with bytes packed. Five 7-bit bytes per word, for example, with a wasted bit in each word. I wouldn’t be su

I read this notion a while ago, perhaps in IEEE Spectrum or something. I didn’t use the terms very much because I didn’t hear them.

I have been a Rams fan twice. I saw them defeat the Browns in a preseason game that benefited some charity (Fearsome Foursome era). It took place at the Coliseum. A blocked Browns punt sent the ball into the Browns end zone to settle the ga

I had some friends from 1st-6th grade, then when I went to middle school, I started from scratch. The reason was I moved out of parochial Catholic school to public school. The group off friends I made starting in middle school was a little

The algorithm has done well by me. It brought me Davie504, Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili playing Rhapsody in Blue, ICEPEAK, Ningen Isu, Rock Fujiyama, a Hungarian choir singing Metallica, and Donner Pass railroad/snowplow porn.

It doesn’t seem like the documented hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough revenue for the complexity of the operations. What am I missing?

Quiet quitting does not make the position legally vacant, such that the employer knows they need to fill it. The employer has to notice that the employee is not performing, and then replace that employee. Those steps are often harder than y
