Just take a look at the Lifebook U937/938. Thinner and lighter than the Air, but has 1xUSB-C, 2xUSB-A, SD, HDMI and even RJ45(!). All the while sporting a 15W TDP CPU and slotted RAM. (And yes, battery life is good as well.)

Always with the hyperbole. How would you feel if your laptop suddenly increased 2mm in thickness but didn't gain any weight? Most people wouldn't even notice the difference if you didn't point it out to them.

No. "bind variables" are Oracle 101. Everyone else calls them "query parameters".

This makes sense when the price for discovery itself is very high compared to putting it into use. In many fields (especially IT/software/algorithms), the discovery/invention often isn't the main part of work (especiall

Although Novartis and Kite brought them to market, aren't - from what I've read in several papers (correct me if I'm mistaken) - the vast majority of clinical trials in this area still publicly funded? (NIH/NCI grants)

It was different per country. In the UK, tape was quite dominant, but at least here in Austria, the 1541 was far more common. AFAIK it was the same in Germany.

What's even more infuriating in such a case: even many businesses are missing until you zoom way in. On desktop, I've resorted to use gmaps with 50-60% browser zoom to get it to show a bigger part of the map at full zoom while st

How would you interpret the GPL in above situation? Intuitively I'd thought something similar, but IANAL and could be completely wrong, of course :)

Considering the original EBU R 128 standard recommendation is -23 LUFS, these still seem to be crazy numbers to me. :)

Sheesh, do I really have to spell this out? No, I never talked about "preventing each and every single case of homelessness." Yeah, there's people on the street here in Vienna as well. There's enough harsh situations, of

Sorry, I'm honestly not sure I understand how your comment relates to mine. I'm talking about the gig economy from a workers perspective.

As someone coming from a country whose government sucessfully provides several means to prevent these kinds of scenarios, the idea of seeing this as a fundamentally good thing frankly strikes me as absurd.

They had no choice, really? Oh, give me a break. AMD was basically in the same position when they started Mantle (at about the same time, no less.). They chose differently. Now we have Vulkan. No thanks to Apple.
