Here's how I like to think about it. Tech salesmen (especially enterprise software salesmen) are just like car salesmen. Now which commission would you like to receive: mattel matchbox car or BMW? This makes sense, because it's

Hmm, well the last time I did this was to get information for designing Intel Atom into an embedded system- this was ~2019 (I work for a small design firm). I remember you had to sign up for a premier account, sign a CNDA, then ask them to

>What Wikipedia doesn't immediately convey is that XML is horribly complex So for example, namespaces can be declared after they are used. They apply to the entire tag they are declared in, so you must buffer the tag. Tags can be

I just used the Raspberry-PI V to bring up the PCIe interface on a Lattice Certus-Pro NX "Versa" board, it's very convenient. What's cool is that the Raspberry-PI V is just fast enough to run modern desktop software, inc

No that won't do. You need someone else to prepare the body: you know... rigorous workouts for strength and physique. Ideally the person is an excellent cage fighter and has the reflexes of a top-tier video gamer.

This seems to refer to separate advanced schools vs. advanced classes that most in the US would be familiar with. One analog in my area (Boston) is perhaps METCO, where ambitious students in impoverished districts can be bussed to wealthier

Altered Carbon used alien magic, the way this works in the real world will be far worse: Brain transplants. First, many poor people will need to be used as guinea pigs (a la the Sun King's anal fistula). Then once it works.. well som

Google didn't have inline ads until 2010, but they did have separate ads nearly from the beginning. I assume ads will be inline for OpenAI- I mean the only case they could be separate is in ChatGPT, but I doubt that will be their larg

Another way to look at this: how much solar do you need to synthesize 1 MWh of methanol ("e-methanol") from water, which is only ~54 gallons (200 liters)? Actually you need 135 gallons since the generator is likely 40% efficient

Is it more or less dangerous than the alcohol? Alcohol: mouth and throat, laryngeal, esophageal, female breast, colorectal, stomach, and liver cancer. PFAS: testicular cancer... Nope to PFAS!

Well there is another issue: trust in the dollar is waning, so central banks have been buying gold. If Trump messes too much with the fed's independence, this can only get worse.. One source theorizes that his admin. is doing this n

The new thing that YouTube Premium includes is the one button press to skip over "commonly skipped parts of the video"- typically the in-video promotions. This just showed up last week on my nVidia shield connected to my TV. So

I never had Action!, but I did try Deep Blue C for the Atari 800. One issue was lack of brackets in the character set.. I think it used $( and $) instead. https://www.atariarchives.org/APX/showdocs.php?cat=20166 There

Yes, check out BYD's hybrids. The petrol engine is 46% efficient, which is pretty damn amazing. This is more efficient than most power plants (combined cycle plants are better- but most power plants are not combined-cycle). So what is

On the private symbol issue... there is probably a solution to this already. You can partially link a bunch of object files into a single object file (see ld -r). After this is done, 'strip' the file except for those symbols ma

CRTs are very forgiving- 512x342 vs x384 would have made very little difference. You could still get square pixels by minor adjustments to vertical and horizontal size. My question is what is the htotal and vtotal times in pixels and lines

I had to do this in the 80s when I made a mistake that resulted in the file being erased. The fun doesn't begin until you start debugging it. Actually this happened twice: once, someone else's code but I had the listing. Another
