Do I really have to explain the backstory here on HN? OK, the case has been made. Repeatedly. By me, my team lead, the research intern who wrote the original code ... Pro ject Management is in agreement. This Pro duct Manager refuses to a

I actually typed that at first, but then I didn't want to explain Yet Another Dialectism to a non-native speaker. :P

"this here" is redundant; "This" being something near the speaker, "here" being near the speaker. This type of redundancy is often found in rural and vernacular speech in the US. A similar redundant construct i

No one ever demonstrated a performant Flash implementation on iOS. (or any other ARM system?) IIRC, Adobe whined and stomped and gave a demo that it could run on iOS, but it didn't run well at all. And as another commenter mentions,

I'm not sure how "non-defrosting water" gets us to "hydro-electric applications." Can you elucidate?

I tend to see typedef on a pointer type to address this. typedef char * pchar; pchar var1, var2; // Now they're both pointers I'm not really a fan, but it can address the problem.

Definitely have fans. The design video[1] has a segment at 2:30 about thermal management. 1 - http://images.apple.com/media/us/macbook-pro/2016/b4a9efaa_6...

"clinton email scandal" != "dnc corruption" Also, your last sentence would be apropos had we been given GP's search terms and you rebutted with a set of terms that did indeed give the desired results.

iPhone ushered in a wave of capacitive touch smartphones. GP posits not that Tesla is the future, but that all-electric is.

After reading the article, and reading replies to you, I still have to guess whether this is a Linux kernel or something else. And I still don't understand why they don't mention this on their site. The talk of "kernel with c

Dense and high-level. Like programming languages. You take a group of machine operations and represent those with an operator in a programming language. You take a group of programming statements, expressions, etc and represent them with a

It seems you're saying that the 'fitness algorithm' filters randomness and therefore the result is 'less random.' And while I can see your point, I'm of the mind that filtered noise is just less noise. But it&#

Think of it as "cryptography in practice." And in practice, it's often broken, whether from poor implementation or design flaws.

You assume that a key pair is (publicly?) associated with an individual. I can generate a key pair, sign something (publishing the public part of the key, but not the fact that it was me owning it), then discard the key pair. How will you a

You can't have "real-time" if you have to wait for verification.

"...none of them is easier..." Subjective. However, if you can type at a reasonable speed, the terminal is faster than moving a mouse around. Now, GUI makes more sense for many things. Kinda hard to edit video without a GUI (but i

Ever heard of acid rain?

by delinka 10y ago
When there's been a drought, the flavor of the rain becomes less important when it finally arrives. Let's wait until people have satisfied their thirst to find out if the water's actually palatable.

Yes, there is a transfer of electrons from one place to another. It's not to the thing that does work, but through the thing that does work. With a battery (DC/direct current), there's a surplus of electrons available at

It is not an acronym. It is indeed an abbreviation for 'facsimile.' FAX is a common mis-rendering.

1) I guess there's an assumption around here that "My $THING" implies the owner is the creator. It is indeed an assumption. I am guilty of this assumption. However, there is no claim that this was written entirely by OP. 2) H
