"Attempt" may be an understatement, as it worked. We hat this experiment set up in one of our lecture halls once a year. They had to fence off the area and it had to relax for days, but we were able to replicate the measurement du

Could you explain why? A JTAG master seems easily bit-bangable unless you require high data rates?

Regarding people, I'd guess that this is mostly caused by cognitive dissonance between the size of the own carbon footprint and the need to decarbonize. Resolving that dissonance would require either to accept that decarbonization is n

However, crossing the autobahn on foot is actually forbidden (§ 18, Absatz 9, StVO), so there is a "jaywalking" law in Germany that probably helps reducing pedestrian deaths on the highway.

The odd part is that this is not just for fun. For many physicists when I was at CERN, a C++ REPL was a commonly used tool to interactively debug analyses to such a degree that many never compiled their code. Back then, I believe, it was so

Every employment contract in Germany I've ever seen explicitly removes the asymmetry, extending the notice period for the employee to the notice period for the employer.

The contract is for Germany, where you generally cannot, as you have essentially cancelled the contract. You would need a new contract, which requires the other party to consent. This is not legal advice.

That being said, the role is in Germany, where it is, to a limited degree, possible to sue for damages resulting from not honoring the notice period. It is also common to add an additional limited a priori damage value into the contract. No

In general, you have a very valid point, but how many lines of code do we need to build the normal sudo if you are generously adding stuff we don't compile into the binary? Compiler, tools, some machine with some userspace and kernel f

Same here. I'm maintaining a script which generate a file, sets up a loopback device and dmcrypt, then mounts the resulting map. Every of these operations but the mount can be done in a way that the kernel will remove them once they&#x

It is quite understandable that something as critical when it comes to file storage takes a while to be adopted and being tested on less important data first. I'd say this reflects positively on IT. A nice (and lone) data point regardi

It's most interesting that the current sea level rise is mostly due to thermal expansion of the water, not the melting ice. When learning about sea level rise in school, the focus was definitely on the latter.

The article's math is fine, but it completely omits that in E = mc^2, m is the relativistic mass, i.e. the rest mass m_0 * gamma? They even perform the exercise of extracting gamma there. If m is interpreted as the relativistic mass, t
