Yes, it's pretty much sure HP-UX, you can see it in banners several times throughout booting. Also this thing being made by HP using HP custom hardware you can be quite sure that it runs HP's Unix. Since this device is still not r

You just confused Eugenics with Euthanasia which are completely different things. Eugenics is reproductive control on a very high level, and may go even as far as governmental control on procreation. Aside the ethical problems with Eugenics

My approach as a physicist doing fundamental research is: I put a mental black box around the device. I don't want to know how it looks like and what it does internally. To me it's just a box into which some quantum numbers go in

I responded on Reddit with a link to my litheweb (the sources still say picoweb throughout it. I yet have to rename-refactor it). https://github.com/datenwolf/litheweb Lithweb is developed network API agnostic and requ

Actually the most sensible thing would be to just use UT1 for wall clock time. The deviation of a UT1 second to TAI second (`d/dT UT1(T) - T` where `T = TAI time`) is small enough that your average time signal distribution system (NTP,

Or, you could just run your computers wall display clock on UT1, which is effectively UTC with the leap seconds "smeared" over half a year. The deviation from the UT1 second to the UTC second is less than the precision most comput

I don't really understand why this page reports the received power in kW? This will inevitable result all reported power levels be some 10^-p with p > 3. Also Watt is not a very useful unit here. You want something like dB(mW) which

I wonder if this principle can also be applied to nucleons. Protons and neutrons are each made up of 3 quarks. And there are some troubles in pinning down the radius of the proton. If Efimov scales apply to nucleons, this would imply that t

If I may speculate about why those ICs were destroyed, then I'd wager on, that the decision about which ICs to destroy was not made by an engineer, but by some overseeing manager who went through a number of PowerPoint slides (like the

True, but it's a single API you can ideally use across a multitude of platforms. That's a huge step forward compared to the plethora of APIs you have/had to deal with: WGL, GLX/X11, AGL, Cocoa, Carbon, etc. From a user s

You'd need access to the Windows OpenGL ICD DDK which is one of the few things Microsoft doesn't hand out freely and without signing a NDA (unless the situation somehow changed withing the past few years). OTOH the ICD API should

Actually it's not that a simple matter as simple output voltage clipping. Most audio amplifiers are AC coupled and only the AC parts of a signal actually carry power. So it would be perfectly possible to have a sine signal with its sam

The sad this is, that this whole specification is centered about the classical stacked window management paradigm and the assumption, that one window can be placed at only one screen at a time. However given modern compositing WM methods it

And… you got your nitpickery wrong. A C null pointer is just 0. The exact definition in the statement is "a null pointer is a integral constant expression with value 0". There are some stddef.h which cast it to a void*, but technically that
