Cool! What do you use it for?

Not sure about other OSes, but I occasionally use a Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch (CTH-470) on Linux, and I have it set up to do exactly that. It's really easy to configure it with the KDE settings plugin thingy, but I think that just tal

15W (and even 4.5W) sound like enough for charging stuff like controllers, headphones and whatever other small battery-powered devices one has. (Also, do devices like that actually respect that 900mA thing, assuming they're capable of

What is the purpose, then?

Maybe some NaOH? Not deadly, but would certainly be very unpleasant to have explode in your face.

That's half-true for the running costs (if you ignore material wear, like tires and stuff). But the manufacture of cars (and stuff in general) and the gathering of materials (read: mining) for that costs a lot of energy and, more impor

But don't let good be the enemy of better either. I think it's important to realize that "People will always use cars" and "We can and should reduce car usage" are not contradictory. We need to both offer and i

I'm not saying that borrowing protocols are the _only_ way to get memory-safe programs. But aside from that, yes exactly. How memory management in C/C++/... works is not inherently safe, otherwise we wouldn't have all th

And you can use `unsafe` in Rust, code up all sorts of memory-unsafe stuff and have it blow up in your face. In both cases, it should be clear to you that you are behaving in a possibly dangerous manner, that you should know what you'r

That slightly annoyed me too! > How many of us chortled at fat Augustus Gloop getting stuck in that pipe, or winced at the idea of witches posing as cashiers, or smiled deviantly at the vision of a ‘tremendously flabby’ old lady? And we

Hm. To me, it seems that the article could have been quite a bit more differentiated. I agree that it's ridiculous to avoid using the word/color "black". On the other hand I don't see a problem with for example usin

I think there might be a misunderstanding here: The analogy works precisely in that you can't plug in anything dangerous because the electrical codes make it so that dangerous things don't exist , and because circuit breakers pro

Why do people view relationships and dating as some kind of optimization game where the only goal is to maximize some reward function, and assume that everyone does the same and also that every woman wants a rich guy? Reading texts like thi

German has similar singular pronouns to English, with "he", "she" and it corresponding directly to "er", "sie" und "es". (Not trying to make any point here, just thought it might be useful f

Getting updates and not having a notch are in no way contradictory requirements.

If you care enough about something to write a blog about it, that means at the very least one person cares about your blog. And, like, that's enough. Also, once there are other people who care about your stuff, they most likely just wo

Isn't there a big difference between what Australia is doing and those prohibitions? I think one of the main reasons those went so terribly is that people were already used and/or addicted to drinking/smoking, so of course th

If you have a devive you can send crypto with, you almost certainly have a device you can use online banking with. Also, I don't really see how this is really relevant, it really sounds like a "But Sometimes" issue, where som

They aren't like any other citizen, because they use a really, really huge amount of energy. If they did use as little energy as any other citizen, there wouldn't be a problem. If anything, you'd have to compare them to huge

No, because there wouldn't be much benefit to being able to regulate murder. (Also, I don't really think that that'd really work in terms of public approval.)

I mean... That's not a very strong or interesting statement to make. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of mafias that did less bad than <insert your least favourite dictator here>.

Regarding weather and climate: Those aren't the same thing. Maybe you could compare it to dice. It's very hard to predict on what number a dice is going to land. But if you throw it a lot of times, you'll eventually start to

I'd try using another power supply, ideally one that has a ground connection.

Have you ever/recently been in a situation where you had to that? Did it go as smoothly as that?
