Please stop having "you said he said" discussions. If someone clarifies their position that they meant to say something else than you read, please accept it in good faith and don't see this as an invitation to hark back to th

Spoken like someone who has truly zero understanding of how RAM usage relates to performance. Repeat after me: high data locality reduces the amount of cache misses, which drastically reduces memory latency, and is only achievable through s

I perfectly understand anti namespace conflict clauses. Luckily this is usually already done in practice when open-source projects are forked. mplayer -> mplayer2 -> mpv, ffmpeg -> libav, openoffice -> libreoffice, etc.

I've gone the other way. I'm using mouse gestures so that I can control my browser with a minimum of mouse travel, making keyboard shortcuts obsolete. Rocker gestures (hold left then click right and vice-versa) control my history,

Given the ridiculous complexity of our biological systems, it would be of course very naive to assume that there's no interaction. But nearly everything in our environment interacts with our biology. And for almost all of those inter

I feel it's pretty obviously per exposed tissue. It's not so much that your mass affects your resistance to it, but that the radiation needs a certain density to cook your hands.

Why not? For HDR you need two things: high bit depth and a transfer function to match. H.264 supports both 10-bit video and at the very least the Hybrid-Log Gamma function. H.264 also supports the Rec.2020 wide gamut colour space so I don&#

I've long held the opinion that Airbus had no choice but to build the A380. The 747 was a hen with golden eggs and gave Boeing an entrenched position from which they could play advantage in other market segments. Killing the hen, even

Just because two businesses are close doesn't mean licenses are transferable. If the photographer gave his permission to use the picture for self-promotion (or even simply decided not to complain about it), that doesn't give them

Not at all. My 4K laptop came with some sort of Bayer-filter-like subpixel arrangement. The LOTR image looks like this when you zoom in with a camera: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuqJE-mWoAA5VD2.jpg

Notepad++ here is obviously a substitute for any "normal" Win32 application. If you can run np++, you can run many/most Windows applications, obviously discounting stuff that generally doesn't play well with Wine even on

Yeah it's a bullshit argument. 2FA is a very cheap solution to a problem that could end up very expensive. If you can afford to (securely!) store account information and have a login infrastructure, 2FA is a minimal amount of effort

If even non-technical users can point out flaws in your product, consider it flawed.

That is actually a really good point. At the end of the day there are many, many kernels out there and only Linux, BSD, and NT scale from all the way at the bottom to all the way at the top. I actually even recall my scepticism when MS anno

>The most amazing aspect of all this is that the core of Windows, its kernel, remains virtually unchanged on all these architectures and SKUs. Is that really such an exciting concept? Maybe I have a poor understanding, but I've been

None of which I missed. I'm a poweruser in most of my computer interactions, but e-mail isn't one of them. I actually really liked Inbox's restricted feature set.

You can't. You can only measure acceleration (with an accelerometer). If you get zero acceleration, you're in an inertial frame of reference and for all intents and purposes in zero gravity. Newtonian physics says you're tech

I would consider "misconceptions" which are irrelevant to the point being made to be the exact definition of pedantry. It detracts from the point being discussed, often is centered around some or other strict definition of a word,

Which is exactly the point. Translation is a real-world problem. You need to actively go into the real world, find problem cases, make your translation software translate it, make your own translation, compare the translations, teach your s

The Economist is definitely a high-brow, low-fluff, high-density publication. I love it. Articles are usually short enough that you can get through them in a just a minute and they have a good graphics department that makes clear, readable

No, you're not just "archiving". Besides the point that archiving itself is already in a legal grey zone, at the very least it has the defence that it presents the website unmodified, in exactly the same state for no other pu

So in effect Redis has moved from a traditional community project (by the community, for the community—where RedisLabs is part of that community) to a please-do-my-work-for-me project (by the community, for RedisLabs). RedisLabs is about to
