The "inverted-online-lecture-followed-by-guided-work-in-class" is the method that Salman Khan of Khan Academy fame pioneered. This was the first time technology was truly leveraged to make a leap in instruction efficiency. Salman

Bob Colwell used to write a column for IEEE Computer (IIRC) that was just awesome reading.

If you can't actually show it from concrete evidence, then your certainty may actually be an illusion. I have worked with busy-beaver devs who created as many issues as they fixed, in effect making no impact to the quality of the produ

How old are you roughly? The reason I ask is that the eye lens yellows with age and transmits less blue and violet through. So colors that would look blue-green to a younger eye would look more green to an older one.

Tesla already does this. You can reboot the user screen while driving the car. Everything works but the only negative thing I've noticed is that you get no indication of turn signals working (they're flashing).

v = function_call(); // inspect v in debugger but it's 'unused' to the compiler. At least this is how it works in C and C++.

The article didn't mention the static pressure of the fan. Typically, for a "suck" type fan, you want higher static pressure and there are fans which are designed expressly for this.

I suspect the anti-acids they gave you along with the antibiotics helped heal the esophagus.

As far as I can tell, the build quality is the same: fully metallic enclosure with printed keys unlike the double-injection molded ones on the HP originals. The DM41X was released with just one font, one emulating the segmented 'font&#

You're thinking of _2001: A Space Odyssey_, which even though it was written simultaneously with the movie, had quite some deviations from it.

I wonder if there is an alternate optical solution using a macro lens. Use an even backlight and a dedicated macro lens to take a digital picture of the negative and postprocess. This is essentially what the Hasselblad scanner seems to be d

Pro-biotics in pill form are dubious at best. Even yogurts available in stores have been pasteurized for longer shelf life (not to speak of the loads of sugar added). Vegetables from the cruciferous family, like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflow

I always thought for a superb, tasty package of nutrition, eggs were ridiculously cheap. Now that more producers are getting into the free-range business, prices have naturally (no pun intended) risen. However, the recent bird-flu epidemic

I'm not an Ada expert but I suspect any exception implementation would require a runtime of sorts.

It's pretty clear by now that the intake of high amounts of fructose, refined carbohydrates and packaged foods has resulted in obesity. The much maligned fat in a healthy diet was never the culprit. The Chinese on a rice diet were neve

Thanks for this, Debbie Downer. This was all I needed to brighten my day.

"trimming the fat" - this is such an unfortunate phrase. In evolutionary terms, fat is what let species survive lean periods.

I had the option of paying $3,000 for FSD back in 2018, declined, and am still convinced that was the right decision. Have no real complaints about EAP, apart from its phantom braking issues, which seem to have improved with time. I suspect

Oberon was a mostly successful experiment in minimalism. Once when I was surprised by a compile error that I didn't think was correct, it didn't take me too long to pinpoint the line in the Oberon compiler source (written by Wirth

Just nitpicking but the 'Turing test' can only be failed, not passed, which is quite apt given another problem associated with Turing: the halting problem.

Didn't expect to see whataboutism and Islamophobia on this site but I guess I should have low expectations from those supporting Modi and his fascist regime.

A cast does not yield an lvalue in C (in C++ it can, if it is to a reference type). See: http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html#3.3.4 Footnote 36.

If you want a "real", no-compromise EV, there really isn't any alternative to Tesla. For me, the killer feature was a supercharging network. Without it, you have an expensive toy unless you are just going to potter around tow

Compiler dev at MSFT. As others said, W/L balance is an actual thing at MSFT but your pay will depend on whether you are coming fresh into MSFT or have been there a while. In the latter case, you are probably being underpaid 2x but in
