This is a pretty big philosophical question. There's no universal answer, just opinions. Your conclusion is not the obvious one for everybody. What happens if you have an identical copy down to the atom. Totally impossible to disting

Pretty much exactly what you expect given than promiscuity is not taboo in the gay community. All in all, HIV just isn't a problem anymore. It's on the same sort of threat scale as any other STD. Even if you're infected, you

Yeah, for a production model you'd likely see the chamber dropped down to a reasonable height, and whatever is in the pedestal can be hidden behind an adjacent wall or under the floor or something. There's no real reason it needs

Sorry, the first time I looked, the hamburger menu opened off-screen above the button, which hid all but the last link. I just assumed it only had the one option. The very prominent "get started" buttons unceremoniously drop you a

No pricing information without first providing an email and creating an account on what appears to be a third-party website. Hard pass. I'm not giving you and your 1,736 partners my info before you tell me what you want.

I just built a new PC with 64GB for just this reason. With my workloads, the 32GB in my work laptop is getting cramped. For an extra $150 I can double that and not worry about memory for the next several years

Disappointing that "rust lol" is the top option in the poll, and none of the other options are about usability or utility. No one gives a single shit what language the thing is written in. What users care about is how monstrously

Why would you want 2fa on your router? You really should never expose the management interface to WAN, it should be locked down to only your local network. If you for some reason absolutely need to manage it remotely, that's why we hav

Honestly, guest WiFi should be a one-click adventure, not a weeks-long trawl through dozens of outdated wiki pages and forum posts from years ago. Pretty much anything other than the most very basic configuration is unduly difficult. While

They're all Samsung. The Gear S3 was utterly useless due to the bespoke OS they immediately abandoned, the Note 10 was bloated as hell, un-rootable, and would forcibly restart to apply 30-minute updates while I was using it to show som

The first puzzle is pretty cool, I had no idea C# can do that. For the second, the given answer is definitely cheating. On the other hand, I definitely had no idea any of that existed. IMO it'd have been cleaner to 'simply'

Core problem solving skills. Debugging, triaging, fault-finding. The thing that makes me a good programmer is my ability to consume a bunch of code, model the program in my head, and analyze likely faulting paths. The code is secondary. Y

If all you're doing is pairing headphones, sure. Developing anything at all against the windows Bluetooth stack is abject misery. It's fundamentally broken. Many API calls are not implemented or just don't work. Several just

I don't think the other comments in this thread are at all correct. This is not a hard problem to solve and these comments vastly overcomplicate it. You need two things: 1) a processor which can present HID devices OR a Bluetooth ad

No, not with any useful degree of granularity. The electrical contacts aren't directly driven by the mechanical switch, they mostly rely on their own spring tension to make the connection. The mechanical part simply separates them. By

It extremely depends on how old the thing is. Generally the older they are, the more power they take. Machines were not efficient back then. I have a poweredge from 2015 or so. Dual Xeon processors and all. It tops out at 500W absolute max.

That's pretty much exactly how the video game industry worked when the C64 was new, so yes. There was a time when a single developer could produce a game for essentially free, sell a few hundred copies, and feel good about it.

The tape market is highly price-fixed and innovation-restricted. Intel has more or less of a total monopoly in this space. It's essentially LTO or go home. Your one and only option is enterprise grade hardware at enterprise prices. Eve

Lead acid batteries, especially very old ones, actually consume water. The electrolyte is sulphuric acid diluted in pure water. When the battery is charging, some of the water is electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Modern lead acid d

Licenses often are not respected by business. Businesses also tend to demand free support in perpetuity without ever once contributing anything be it money or code. Viewed this way, businesses are just using open source as free labor.
