It's not so much about class but whether or not your already a felon. Most of the arrests you see on those shows are people out on parole or with massive rap sheets. Going from no criminal record to your first is a huge change of circ

> police forces seem to treat a positive result as sufficient cause for an arrest My impression from watching too much COPS and LivePD is that police don't really see arresting people as that serious, "They'll be out in fe

I’m not sure about the Windows ORG, but office always made time for dev led architectural improvements. Back in the old days it was called Milestone Zero. I’d be absolutely shocked if Windows didn’t have a similar process.

That would be like equating to car as “not much different than the wheel”. Computers are neat but finding applications for them is non-trivial.

Records don't have infinite bandwidth either. I'd actually love to see a comparison of vinyl vs digital reproducing a triangle wave, it would be a lot more illuminating than blindly quoting Shannon Nyquist.

The craziest part is these were built over very long periods of time spanning multiple generations. Inter-generational cooperation is just something I can't imagine happening today.

My take on the windows ME fiasco was the company's primary interest had shifted to getting NT (Windows 2000 later XP) ready and ME was a stopgap.

Saves them money on packaging costs. Wire bonding isn't free.

That may be obvious if your used to USB, but it's actually quite a leap otherwise. An explanation in your original post would have gone a long way.

Microsoft had a great system until the mid 2010s. Testers did an amazing job preventing crap from making it to customers. Developers simply don't make good testers. Unfortunately they decided to follow everyone else and destroy this

They successfully argued the ratings where their opinions and therefore first amendment protected. They have no duty to be accurate or even unbiased.

We don’t have any smart weapon system with kill authority that doesn’t have a human in the loop. Perhaps we should solve it for stationary sentry guns or missiles before complicating it with a flight platform. Thats not to say we will never

This is standard jargon for investors. The charge is to the company and a hit directly to their earnings. Similar wording can also be used with respect to debt that will never be collected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

A real adversary would have the comm links jammed immediately and these drones would all be paperweights. Autonomous drones are more interesting and perhaps possible in the next generation. But we’re not quite there yet - especially with ki

You should find something that your interested in. My first project was Mixxx because I was interested in DJing. This doesn't have to be hobby related, it can be something that satisfies an intellectual curiosity. Contributing to OSS

Many freeways around Toronto use concrete and according to the MTO it is cheaper. But the deciding factor appears to be the number of trucks passing the stretch of road. Concretes durability under weight more than offsets the decay from wea

The problem TSX is attempting to address is bus traffic from those exact lock instructions you mention. These work OK for the relatively small core counts of today but won't scale to hundreds of cores. TSX brings hardware supported op

TSX can provide very important speedups where there aren't adversarial workloads sharing memory. Your web browser shouldn't be using it, but I think turning it off globally doesn't make much sense. Unlike hyperthreading use

Only the implicit TSX has been disabled. You can still use xbegin/xend/xabort. They had an additional mode that would transparently convert many spinlocks into transactions without code changes - that is now gone.

Intel tends to push new technology into laptop chips first while AMD does the opposite. This is merely a business decision on the part of AMD to play to their strengths. Right now you can get a 10nm Intel part in a laptop but not for the de

All your arguments of safety are even more applicable to index funds since you actually own a slice of the entire market rather than just being merely correlated as you are with your house.

I could maybe understand this for the home edition but people pay extra for Pro. The whole point is to not spend 30+ minutes removing crap. Also those registry fixes frequently get reverted by updates. It’s happened to me multiple times. E

I know its not the point of the quote, but I can't believe I'm the only one who feels less comfortable in a made bed. Tightly tucked sheets feel so constricting.
