This is a proof-of-concept. Sure, the conditions are ideal, but this is the first time anyone has made this work at all. Of course they're not going to start with a $20 digicam and a dimly-lit room.

For example in the first few sentences he started referring to Maxwell's equations in very familiar terms (something like "we all know about Maxwell's equations already...") This, incidentally, is exactly like going to

I found a deer tick on myself earlier this summer. Even though it is "not possible" that I was infected in the 12-24 hours it was attached, I insisted on treatment. Three weeks of amoxicillin is not that bad. Chronic Lyme is.

Looking at the single review they link to on the site[1], it looks like the major speedup is due to internal response caching, high concurrency comes from non-thread-bound connection pooling, and there are a few other niceties relating to N

It refers to the fact that there are many syntactically-equivalent ways to express the same code. Slide 11 shows expressions that evaluate to the same thing.

The ambiguity of Markdown formats has been nothing but a minor pain to me. It makes it harder to search for syntax advice, that's for sure, and 99% of us casual users are doing just that. I am excited for a well-documented, standard M

SSDs are usually deployed in order to reduce (basically eliminate) random seek time, when compared to a platter hard drive. Ironically, this tends to make less of an impact in a column store, because a column store optimizes data arrangeme

I am left wondering what's novel/patent-worthy about a VHF power converter. It sounds like an incremental improvement on current systems (which typically operate in the 100kHz-1MHz range), and the link in the Kickstarter doesn&#x

No, there is no requirement for both sides to meet. Police serve the citizens. That's how public service goes. Their job is hard. They deal with assholes the likes of which most of us never see, they get shot at and kicked and punch

That's the attitude police departments prop up and justify every time they close ranks around officers who commit this kind of misconduct, instead of feeding the bad cops to the dogs and maintaining high standards of public service. Is

Assuming the parent is talking about equal maximum amplitude of the sine and square waves, the square wave RMS voltage will be sqrt(2), or 1.4, times the sine wave RMS voltage. And since power is proportional to voltage squared, the square
