Wouldn't a partial explanation for the correlation be that if a relative dies earlier in the semester or over the summer the student may not mention it because they don't need accommodation?

Qt5 has JavaScript all over the place. JavaScript is the language used for the QML declarative GUI system, which is encouraged as the graphical basis for new Qt applications. That is based on QScriptEngine (based on V8) which is also usable

If github opensource all of their stuff, this still wouldn't prevent issues like this for the projects that want to use a hosted service instead of hosting it themselves, and many projects don't want to host these services them se

I'm happy to see the news, but now I'm also very curious what the Dell Edge Gateway 5000 is.

I expect that for general development use, FreeBSD in a VM performs better with UFS than it does with ZFS, especially in low memory VMs. That is probably why the vagrant images don't use it by default. You might need to just create a

The season that recently ended reformatted the show somewhat. They removed the B team this allowing Jamie and Adam much more time to show the process. I thought it was a large improvement, even though I had liked the co-hosts.

There is the TYAN GN70-BP010, although they state it isn't for production use.

It is entirely possible that they do use ObjC and Swift on Linux.

Their backers may not have asked for DRM support, but they did ask for supporting services that require DRM, such as Netflix. I participated in the kickstarter. What I am interested in is less a physical product and more an open platform, b

They also sometimes reduce features. For instance, I use one of their 30" monitors, and while I think it is a good deal and it looks good, it has an inferior stand, only a Dvi input (no displayport or HDMI) and it doesn't support

I thought that CoLinux was actually running Linux as a service in the NT microkernel (like MkLinux on Mach), rather than just an executable compatibility layer.

You can even use MinTTY with cmd.exe (and probably powershell) for dramatically improved user experience. And, you can also find MinTTY standalone separate from the burden of cygwin. I got it from the msys project.

Installing ffmpeg and convert on Windows (without cygwin even) is trivial. It looks like PowerShell even has kill (as an alias to Stop-Process) and ps (as an alias to Get-Process). I don't like PowerShell, but I certainly wouldn't

Comcast and Verizon like to combine them as well in the US. Of course, we have more cable companies and phone companies than those two, but I'm less aware of what they deliver.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

This is why I'm hoping for the Matchstick project to work out. Some apps that work with ChromeCast already just work with Matchstick. They recently posted about trying to get supported for DRM requiring apps like NetFlix. There shoul

Supposedly the audio out on the B+ and A+ is dramatically better. I haven't bought one of the new ones to make my own judgement yet though.

Do you have to connect the HDMI out to anything for that to work?

#3 seems like it could even be a legitimate optimization. #4, If they did a SRAM write, then a EEPROM write and only raised an error when the EEPROM write failed, your suggestion would seem plausible, but since they do an SRAM write, then r

The Python library cgkit already supports Aqsis, Pixie, and 3Delight, by the way. Cycles is also free, open source, and cross-platform, and Cycles seems to be both further ahead than either Aqsis or Pixie and moving faster. However, it cou

I used to play flac files on my Octane (300 MHz,1 CPU). Given how little load it caused, I'd expect it to work well on a O2 180mhz r5k. Perhaps you are using an older still iris machine though? While just about any device can play .wa

All versions of the MacBook Air appear to have upgradable storage, even though none of them have upgradable RAM. I base that on MacSales.com offering storage upgrades for all 5 generations of MBA.

I am sad that serial ports are disappearing from PCs, but I am glad that parallel ports are gone. They were such a horrifying GPIO interface, and yet their presence meant that every open project used them by default, and if they didn'

That must be an Australian issue because on eBay and in local stores, it is still $10ish.
