Do you, or anyone else here, have any experience with using a slide duplicator on a macro lens with a digital camera, DSLR, for 25 mm slide duplication? Especially I wonder if you've got advice on picking a useful level of resolution w

As other's have mentioned, the lies about WMD where rather quickly dispelled, and doesn't compare to moon landing conspiracy. As far as I understand the WMD fraud was successful insofar that the administration was able to use it a

Yes, regularly. Some archaic code has a surprising longevity. Personally at least once per month I end up with a case where I wonder why some code was implemented or for what purpose. Context that is rarely documented in the source code, bu

As a swede this is a bit embarrassing to me. I have a few friends who's bought into this completely, and of course bought the book. All without even a hint of critical thinking. It is hard to tell your friends they've been conned.

Can anyone now give a reasonable ETA for the HTTP/3 RFC:s? I see that the WG charter has one milestone in May 2020, and Daniel Stenberg of curl has mentioned early 2020 before. In addition, AFAIU, both Chrome and Firefox have implement

I fail to find any specific references to these policies forbidding use of executables not embedded in the apk. Not saying it's wrong, it's just news to me. Does it apply only to apps published via Google Play? (edit) Never mind,

Is it possible for the states they traveled through to revoke their drivers licenses? I mean they've presented ample evidence that they've intentionally exceeded speed limits on average over the entire route.

Thanks for the example video! I note that the example skipped one crucial step, to scan for available devices. Scanning and enumerating available devices, and selecting a device, is a step where potentially sensitive information is exposed.

If an extending class does not implement a method which is implemented by its super class, a call to that method on a instance of the extending class will invoke the super class' implementation of the method. The super class implementa

At work we're migrating to openjdk obviously. But I'm curious what is the cost of a commercial Oracle JDK license? Is the price per server, per cpu/core, per users? Anyone got a ballpark figure?

Having both a renewable and sustainable sourcing of biofuels is important, and EU actors have a obligation to the world to improve. That said, SCHiM's statements makes it sound like the EU is currently burning the world for the sake of

That argument is skipping straight to the "Profit!" point. A somewhat distant Star Trek future where resources are distributed evenly among all. I'd like that to happen, but I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile the a

Where will your money, which you have to have to buy the incredibly cheap things or services, come from when you do not have a job any more? We already have a job market where a significant number of people have become permanently unemploya

Well it isn't as black and white as you're painting it. It is correct that sometimes law enforcement are obliged to enforce laws they as a group or as individuals do not agree with. On the other hand law enforcement are not oblige

Technically Mattermost is very interesting. Unfortunately I cannot figure out their licensing scheme and business model. The license file mentions several licenses: AGPL, Apache 2, and the MIT license. They seem to apply separate licenses t

With bluetooth you need to consider radio interference between the sensor and the main device. In my experience that increases complexity of the sensor, and is something you largely can avoid with a module that has a physical interface to t

If you look beyond the fun poking and focus on the facts, you'll still find that the trickle down economic policy your argument imply simply doesn't work. https://psmag.com/the-imf-confirms-that-trickle-down-econom

Another option is to perform a sleep study at home. You borrow a wearable device that records your sleep quality, breath, ECG, etc. You wear it over night, then turn it in for analysis. Common symptoms of sleep apnea are if you're regu

Wikipedia is quick to point out that there isn't any scientific support for "adrenal fatigue". What else in your comment is non-fact based? Please don't bring pseudoscience to HN, thanks! https://en.wikipedia.

Yes, we're all simply unfit sloths, standing up is physically demanding and that's why standups must be short. :) Seriously though, my impression is that standing up encourages brevity in other ways. Standing implies that the meet

I do not know about in general but where I work we physically stand up during daily standups. My impression is that the standing up part really works too. We usually get quite restless when the meeting exceeds the allotted 10 minutes. Of co

It is of course good to be aware, but legacy Android versions shouldn't be a show stopper for modern TLS. For general web browsing, I'd expect that both Chrome and Firefox are installable on Android 2.3 and bundle their own TLS li

While CPython 3.x is rock solid and shipped years ago - no argument there - both Pypy and Jython still lacks stable Python 3.x releases. That's a major migration pain point. It is hard trying to introduce Python 3 at a place that has s
