This is analogous to astro-photography problems with keeping stars as points rather than as blurred lines in long exposures. If you think about it, if a long exposure at night has a static landscape but moving stars, the IBIS equivalent wou

Around '92 I was working for a software house that was having a clear out, and picked up a radius pivot monitor and graphics card, and added it to my Mac IIcx. The Mac was already old and slow by that time, but I was running Emagic Log

I thought this was a security fix? Let's say I find a problem in ssh, I don't update it, call it 'newssh' and tell people to use an alias to point ssh to newssh do i? I just fix the app.

Maybe you've not understood. I'm asking, why does it have different options? Is there a reason for that? If not, make it compatible, so a drop in replacement. Otherwise we're just spamming new commands at people, and the old

Let's assume for a moment that it is lower risk than sudo (which is the problem is it addressing), why isn't it also called 'sudo', designed to behave the same as the thing it is replacing, so that anyone (and any script

The useful metric with these sorts of things is to ask yourself, when was the last time you tried something that you didn't like? For expensive experiences, say, going to the theatre, it's hard to see shows you don't think yo

I recognised Jeff on the tube on the way to a computer exhibition at some point in the 80s. I was just a pimply youth, but he was really charming and happy to have a chat. Made my day!

I think these 4/3rds camera were dismissed by armchair photographers in the early years because of the sensor size, and I think these pixel shift type features were added so that they could add a higher resolution mode to the headline

From my perspective, I agree that it's not a feature that I look for in a camera, but i'm a street and portrait photographer, so the sorts of things I shoot aren't the sorts of things that I have either the time for, or that

Yeah, i'm restoring a Compucorp 625 at the moment, which was made in 1978 and is Z80 based - not a bad run! I guess we should really applaud the Intel 8080 for starting this, but probably the brilliance of the Z80 was simplifying the e

Except that we're really running AMD's x64 ISA, not Intel's, so this moat concept doesn't really fit with the reality. Intel clearly thought x86s days were over when they started their 64 bit Itanium effort, and then qui

Two approaches that spring to mind would be to run VSCode on the Mac rather than Visual Studio - you might find it's decent enough and does what you need. If you need the full Visual Studio experience, then another option would be the

Yes, windows/arm64 runs all arm64 binaries out the box. Looking at my jenkins windows/arm64 CI machine, i'm running x64 java, but that's it. If you want to build apps to run with support for x64, there is a special Arm64

Just like to point out that RNNs have internal state which isn't captured in this view, so yes, lots of NNs can be considered this way, but not all. It's the DSP equivalent of FIRs vs IIRs.
