+1 to all these points. A couple of related issues that cause me frequent problems... - In addition to detecting when monitors are removed, detecting when they are there from the start. If I have a monitor plugged in at boot, it is general

Out of several dozen different uses of laser pointers, I've only ever been able to (easily) see perhaps 3 or 4 of them, plus another small portion if focusing entirely on the game of spot-the-laser-pointer. It's related to my colo

There are a few other things that could also impact results. Looking at the experimental design, there could be a good 25% uncertainty in the results because of how it's done at such a high level. Rough up-to values for various things

You can have an impact on power consumption at a range of levels. From choosing appropriate algorithms, to switching to different data types, to changing compiler flags. Add together a few of these 'easy' 5-10% energy savings and

Indeed - it probably isn't ideal. I'd tested a number of sort algorithms (bubble, insertion, quick, merge, counting), so also testing the sort function from stdlib seemed like a logical continuation. It was done rather quickly, so

Some work I was doing over the summer indicates that the optimal datatype depends on the algorithm you're using. qsort() can get 15% better performance with uint64_ts than uint32_ts (sorting identical arrays of 8 bit numbers represente

Depending on how the extension developer feels future development may pan out, requesting access to all websites is the only reasonable way to do it. With how the update system works[1], when requesting new permissions the extension is disa
