If you're going to teach a class, I'd recommend going out of your way to give each student a Pi 3 Model B+. The additional ports means that the device can be useful as a general-purpose computer outside of class (just hook up a ke

It might not just be pride. There are probably a set of values that underlie your friends' opinions. If you can find out what they are, it may help you find some common ground to start a productive conversation. If you understand their

During the transition to LTE, T-mobile did something similar -- they updated phones to report HDSPA+ as "4G".

That sounds like l10n gone seriously wrong -- maybe they literally wrote something like translation_helper(0) in that header which translates to Monday in $asian language and Sunday in English.

Operationally, every major tech company has some sort of mechanism for removing software it doesn't like from end-users' devices. Apple, Google (with Google Play Protect), and Microsoft (with Windows Update). If you don't,

The Boeing 787 is now about nine years old. I wonder how much of this is operator proficiency triggering latent bugs (aka, "pilots got too good at pushing buttons quickly"). The bugs in the Therac 25 were only discovered after the

As far as I can tell, "well-being" specifically refers to the 14-item version of the "Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale", which contains items like "feeling useful" and "dealing with problems well&q

The GTA is also generally leading north america in adoption of dedicated rights-of-way for buses, such as the mississauga transitway and the bus lanes for Viva. Train-like travel times, with bus-like frequency and construction times.

A lot of the discussion around transit-oriented development in norcal is around putting higher density around existing train stations, but BART and Caltrain are already at capacity during rush hour. I feel like San Francisco and Mountain Vi

Well, of course the client behavior is under-specified -- sometimes the client is a human constructing a URL to download a .deb in a web browser over a corp-approved proxy, and then hand-installing the package with `deb -i`, bypassing all t

There's probably an actual software rewrite in there somewhere, too. Like, for dual-redundant shutdown routines or something.

I imagine building a new plant -- even to replace an existing one -- would be a politically uphill battle. There are plenty of folks who consider coal or natural gas to be "more renewable" or "more green" than a nuclear

If I recall correctly, at one point, the network interface was used as a source of entropy. Then someone demonstrated that sending the right sequence of network packets to a machine would let you control the key that got generated. So they

It's not clear to me that the control group drank 500ml of boiled water. If they're drinking cold tap water, it could be that the act of boiling the water yields the desired effect. If they're drinking bottled water (and if t

PuTTYgen, being a Windows application, assumes that a mouse is connected and prompts the user to move the mouse to generate entropy during key creation. By comparison, ssh-keygen documents the SSH_USE_STRONG_RNG environment variable -- but

Is municipal red tape at all a factor in PG&E's under-maintenance of its lines and equipment? I feel like CEQA lawsuits and municipal planning codes and committees are given as reasons why we don't have denser housing and more

Also add: - years of racism (then: buses are only for white people. now: buses are only for poor people of color, and thus should not be funded.) - a history of destruction happening primarily in neighbourhoods of ethnic minorities (e.g. th

The problem is that two municipalities (one on each side of the bay) voted down the measures that would have funded the regional transit agency. Thus, the train lines stop at the borders of these two municipalities, and there are two other

Device drivers don't usually need to be updated unless the driver interface changes (i.e. when you update the Linux kernel) or the driver needs to be updated to accommodate quirks of new software (i.e. graphics drivers and new video ga
