Hibernate eventually began posing trouble for a few reasons. Firstly, as memory sizes increased, the time to hibernate became longer as you had to entirely serialize memory to disk. Secondly, the number and types of peripherals were tricky

It's a combination of factors. First, as the other replies mentioned, there are preservatives and stabilizers in supermarket breads. Also, any bread in a plastic bag won't go stale as quickly, but it can grow mold due to the pre

My family owned and operated a full service bakery. That means they did everything from breads, to cookies, to cakes, to weddings and special orders, as well as seasonal favorites. Being a baker is hard . Your staff has to be there nearly

Hibernate is a tricky term that doesn't mean the same thing to all people. The working definition I use is all state is dumped from memory to disk and then retrieved upon startup. Sadly Hibernate is very complicated and has largely bee

My grandfather was a HAM radio operator (KB2SX) and ran at least one ham radio group. My experience with him was that he'd go on nightly, or semi-nightly, and meet virtually with other HAM radio operators. He wanted me to take a HAM te

This isn't an apt comparison. Late fees are a designed to de-incentivize a certain behavior. We have little data on how effective it is, but we know it has costs both for implementation and its effects on patrons. Let's take anoth

I want to disagree with you on the timeline issue, but I think 14 years was probably chosen for it not to be too economically disruptive. I live both in NYC part of the time and in Vancouver part of the time and I see a lot more hybrid and

It's funny because I don't think you're lacking citations in your argument; but I think that people aren't asking you the right questions either. Different work environments would certainly facilitate different kinds of

It's understandable to take this perspective; it's the perspective a CFO might need to take, but it leaves out a bunch of things. At one company I was at we had a lack of computer storage for our developers to work. They were cons

It's not copyleft compatible. You can't write GPLed software in it, and that's by design.

I really enjoy Artemis, and it was my first bridge simulator, and it's no exaggeration to say that you basically invented an entire genre of video game. We played Artemis in the NYC Board Game group, connecting multiple bridges togethe

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think Artemis is prettier, but the gameplay of EE is far superior. By prettier, I mean the visuals, the models, the music, etc.

I only evaluated Free/Libre OSes, even if they have binary blob drivers. LuneOS is defunct as far as I can tell. It would have been great if the whole Firefox OS thing had worked out, but it didn't :(

The HOA or landlord can modify the terms, but they're disincentivized to do so. The reason that both HOAs and landlords disallow outdoor clothes drying is that it's seen as an eyesore. People associate clotheslines full of clothes
