Yes you could argue that China is paying a higher cost now, but their goal is to protect and nurture their own industries so that those industries can dominate the world later on. It's like South Korea in the 1960's and later from

Yeah it does, Australia. That's the prime example of fewer guns = fewer deaths.

It could, but in a way it's currently acting like import tariffs but for the Internet. It's making it easier to create and run a local clone of an international company than to import the international company's services to u

I don't buy that argument. Each platform has similar but different functions for doing all common things, the graphics API's are converging on a similar design as well. To make it clear, the main platforms for more AAA-like titles

Perhaps. I should take a look at the monitor configuration and see if there's a setting I can change. Something like "monitor power button puts monitor to sleep" rather than "monitor power button turns power off to monit

Essentially the house should function regardless if the Internet is connected or some random server is reachable.

Disabling wake from USB is not a good idea given I have a USB keyboard and mouse. Essentially this is a convenience thing, it used to work perfectly fine, then they added HDCP to make things less convenient. Like I said, I'd be fine if

I leave my PC running 24/7 pretty much, so at night I want the monitors turned off so it doesn't illuminate the whole living room (which I can see from the bedroom - it is a small apartment). I used to turn them off with the butto

What I had learnt from investigating this issue is: * It's been a problem since at least 2012 * HDMI cables have an active-low connection pin, therefore it's easier to fool the video card into thinking the monitor is still connect

That's because a lot of the pilots at BA are more senior as they have been at the job for longer and don't need to retire any time. A lot of the pilots at the cheaper carriers are more junior and earlier on in their careers, mainl

The main thing that has pissed me off with technologies like DisplayPort and HDMI is that I cannot actually turn my monitors off when I'm not using my computer. With DVI I could turn the monitors off and the desktop and applications wo

My comparison was running a Formula 1 team to making Video Games. Not playing them as an e-sport. Of course competing in a sport in real life is far different to doing so in a video game.

So basically more or less allowed, but you're being a dick for doing it. There might be laws against it actually, since the other person does not explicitly consent to being filmed, and it's not a public space.

Video games that are a culmination of decades of engineering, artistic, and design philosophy. Millions of dollars spent, and many thousands of man hours put into each version delivered. Not quite as much as F1 but do not underestimate the

Last I heard Australia was getting rid of some media ownership restrictions. I think one reason is the dismal performance of media companies in Australia.

This looks like just Notepad.exe supporting UTF-8 without having a byte order mark at the start of the file.

Try and figure out why it takes so long to build and see if the process can be streamlined. If it's the link time that is taking that long then consider splitting the projects up into DLLs so that it's reduced or eliminated. (I as

No, the operator is like the same operator in Ruby. You define an operator<=> for one or two types and then whenever you use one of the normal comparison operators in code (say a < b), the compiler replaces it with a<=>b <

Facebook probably knew because she was logged in to it on her work computer, where she was also searching for and reading project management websites. Since every website has a like button it means that Facebook can correlate the two.

I think it's not so much keeping this sort of information a secret, it has never really been a secret as anyone with some motivation could find out these things. The big thing these days with computerisation and the Internet is it is m

The engine has engineering effort in it since the late 1990's since some of the code is that old. (I say this because I remember learning from the mod SDK back in the day, and I've looked into what it is now). So almost 2 decades

To me that base did not seem like it was designed that way. If it had been the base would be much bigger in area so that far more force would have been required to tip it. Any structural engineers want to take a look?

Yeah, based on the title I was expecting a single exe file (with themes and supporting directories) which would be more of a turn key solution.

As I replied to an earlier sibling comment, Richard Branson tends to invest and distribute the Virgin name to a lot of companies, like a bigger angel investor that also helps with branding and marketing. Also a lot of them end up going nowh

Isn't that because the freight companies are the ones that actually built, own, and operate the tracks? If Amtrak or another passenger company owned the tracks, their trains would get priority.

I think Branson gets into almost everything, like a bigger form of an Angel investor. In that regard it makes sense to use the brand and money to make many small seed stage investments.

Just as a thought experiment, could the promotion of these "hyperloop" projects be a clever political ploy to misdirect/divert attention and prevent a viable high speed rail network from being built? Elon's main business

After being used to Visual Studio, where the project and solution files are not a 1-1 match to the file system, I used Eclipse (or some other Java IDE) and found to my shock that when I remove files from the project it also deletes them fro
