There is, it's the "Vacuous Truth", generally any affirmation about elements of the empty set is true. It's very useful as it allows you to convert any statement "All elements of x are Y" in "No element in

A few very religious people, but I don't think any of those had traction to get that into law in the US recently.

There's never a 'point' buying Apple regardless of light/heavy use. You buy Apple if you think it's the best OS/hardware combo, you don't if you prefer otherwise. Even light use will benefit from long batt

Where suffer means "not be lazy, implement the assembly for your primitives in a lib, optimize it as best as you can without compromising security, do not let the compiler 'improve' it"

Cameras are cheap, eyes are expensive. Ok, the Vision pro cameras are probably very expensive (mostly because I doubt you can just switch them with new ones). Maybe put a bag over it and a Pi camera on the outside? Can you live-stream to a

While the formal concept of applying a function that calls itself may be more familiar to someone trained in classic mathematics, everyone is somewhat familiar with while loops, from basic life things like 'while hungry, eat' or &

I imagine the idea they were proposing is ~most energy being locally generated, 48v should be fine from solar panels to batteries. But I can't see that working on denser cities, or factories, or less sunny climates.

Want the experience of a lightbulb from 100 years ago right now? Buy a 220v lamp and use it in a 110v circuit. It will be much dimmer, a lot more orange/yellow, and last for decades.

Move some (but not all) memory on package? NUMA is not easy but it's an option.

Didn't really fail, GeForce Now is still available and working well. Stadia was abandoned by Google but worked really well for the ones that had good internet and lived close enough to the data-centers. The bad part is needing to live

Are there Japanese characters missing in UTF-8? They should be added ASAP. I know there's a weird Chinese/Japanese encoding problem where characters that kind-of look alike have the same character id, and the font file is responsi

r/homelab will have a field-day getting those nodes up, some people will want just one for practicality, some people will want at least a couple and a IB switch just for the novelty of it.

Not even that, I'm not a civil engineer, but it looks pretty hard to add a ton of concrete without really helping a skyscraper, but I could add a few thousand lines of code without improving a system one bit, and even more lines to mak

Many modern architectures have crypto extensions, usually to accelerate a few common algorithms, maybe it would be good to add a few crypto-primitives instructions to allow new algorithms?

For one device it works well, but when you get a bunch, I find it simpler to use one Pi (actually now a Lenovo m920q, it could be a Pi, I just needed a bit more power for other stuff) with the tunnels and make it talk to all the iot stuff.

Actually the installation guide for arch asks you to use `genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab` which basically copies over whatever was mounted at the live environment (taking off the /mnt), I'm pretty sur

It's literally click in the share icon and choose "Share over QR". The device then will do the "run a server with the file, create the QR Code for access, display it". Your mum has no need to learn how to run it, ju

Is it really a problem? An ESP8266 (which is not the most efficient thing, but is very cheap) uses about 0.5W while transmitting, much less most of the time. For reference, I have some smart outlets that I measured using a while ago, pullin

NACS supports either one or two phases for AC charging which would be used in most home chargers. A really high power charger would use DC with the AC/DC conversion happening before (and that could be from a three-phase source)

I use it, mostly for C++, a bit for Python, a ton of configuration languages. There are dozens of us in the company, but only me in my team. The most popular editor around is VSCode. There's not a lot of extra friction to use Emacs, t

Not OP, but Fossil is a bit more than just a VCS, it has built-in wiki, bug-tracker and a bunch of other stuff. And it keeps everything in a single file so it's pretty easy to copy around out-of VCS flows. This app uses the built-in w

Is WiFi failure something that happens? I've never seen one. I did upgrade a few cards (in one to go from B to G, in other from N to AC), and I replaced a few broadcom cards with intel ones to get better Linux support, but I don'

On the other hand, considering we are talking about kids breaking laptops, this failures are much more random, a brand new laptop is not that much more likely to survive a fall than an old one.
