4G Was amazing before everyone switched and it got overloaded. I remember being astonished to get better download speeds on my phone than my wired home internet when it first came out.

Blinking used to be accomplished by XORing the pixels with '1'. The nice thing is it doesn't use any memory to restore it since you just XOR a second time to get what you had back.

Seems an uncharitable interpretation. I would regard that more as a guide to the type of news they want their reporters to focus on - and what their audience wants to read. As far as corporate goals go its actually pretty specific and mea

The fare recovery of New York City Transit is 47%, so the true cost to the taxpayer would be $912/resident/year using your numbers. The numbers are higher still if you scope to residents over 18.

If a corporation pays less than a living wage then the state is a net subsidizer of their employees. Its not fair we have Walmart employees on welfare for example.

Long before the industrial revolution. Horse manure and slaughter runoff were huge sources of disease in cities even before coal smoke took over the air.

They produced a few low volume 10nm laptop parts so they could say 10nm has finally shipped. They can’t produce enough volume to move their whole product line over.

Just an anecdote but anyone I saw leave around that age had been @ msft in the 90s and was wealthy enough to stop working long before. Most had pretty colourful BillG stories.

Almost all the progress made was necessary to support modern C++ standards, although it is nice they enabled it in the C compiler. They haven't added any C only features in a very long time.

Munich has very strict limits on vertical height so that cathedral spires aren't drowned out by the buildings. On the edge of the city you do see some taller office buildings but not in the core, and certainly not to the extent you wo

I wish we hd float hardware that tracked epsilon for you. Floats would be two values with epsilon being updated on each operation. Then a comparison would take epsilon into account instead of just a bit match.

TN allows for no immigration intent and can be rescinded any time you cross at the whims of the border guard. Most US companies will transition a Canadian to an H1-B and then a green card as quickly as feasible.

Your mainstream explanation isn't correct. This only applies when a court replaces an existing precedent - a relatively rare occurrence. Police shouldn't be expected to anticipate the court's change of heart ahead of time.

Spending on external training is $83bln [1]. Internal training program spend is an order of magnitude higher. Let alone salaries. That is a lot of spending that could be transitioned to robotics if humans become too costly. 1: https:/

A major reason open source projects use GitHub is the social network features. It really helps you build traction and get noticed. Regardless of what you may think of it the trending page does indeed drive further traffic which drives ado

46 megabits at 3.34µs per kilometer[1], however error correction brings that way down. Regardless 1KM of fibre is quite substantial, we're talking densities far lower than even 70s technology. Worse if you try to up the cable length

The speed of light works against you in that case. Even at the incredible 14Thz line rate achieved here, 1km of fibre can have ~146kbits bits in flight at a time.

Seems like the OS could solve it easily by trapping on undefined operation exceptions and retrying on the big core. If it still works simply mark the process as big core only.
