Personally, I don't like operating systems that train users to enter login credentials while using the system as this increases the chance of someone capturing those credentials via spoofing. I used to think Firefox trying to protect t

"Beginnings of a USB device driver." I would love to be able to run the manufacturer's program for a data logger and a pulse oximeter under wine. Hopefully this is what they are aiming for (maybe I should try it already?).

I am disabled and have played a bunch of games (DRM-free only, via GOG or Humble Bundle) and I can confirm that Unity games are extremely common, including on tiny 2d games, visual novels, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if over 5 of 8 g

I was curios about Falcom since they have such consistently good games. I couldn't find a detailed lists but it sounds like most Falcom games (Including recent Ys games) use their own custom engine called the "Yamaneko Engine&quo

In that case they should return book results also, which are usually the highest quality.

One thing I've found (after others mentioned it here) is that Google seems to reward impatience when trying to solve captchas. Going faster and making more mistakes and not waiting for loading images seems to help convice the algorith

I agree most of American history is charged and comparing civil wars makes sense, but I would add that much of the US government interaction with the first nations seems generally comparable as well. The history of Oklahoma, boarding schoo

They enrolled people "in excellent general health" intending to observe Ramadan and did the fasting over Ramadan. I didn't read the whole study but I don't see the evidence that subjects had a disrupted circadian clock

I also find many of the discussions helpful, however when the language used becomes particularly charged it is harder to pick out the helpful parts of the discussion and it discourages many people from contributing. Even if it is still hel

The last post I saw on this topic was horrible with a bunch of people with, I'm guessing, no expertise and no opinion on the topic a month ago certain that the CDC had made an epic mistake. My sense is that coronavirus discussions in

It is good to have that exception. Here in Portland, Oregon they are saying that the main issue is that finding long term housing, normally in short supply here, is now almost impossible.

Pierre Gloor's book The Temporal Lobe and Limbic System has an excellent discussion of this pages 316-318. I'll try to type it in by hand and stick it on pastebin later since it is unfortunately a rare out of print book (Google

I do agree with your main point that the author should have discussed Lifeline. The specific Lifeline mobile plans that are $10/month require use of the provided device (or in some cases a very limited number of specific alternative de

I've had that and a major issue is that the $10/month covers both phone and internet, not just internet. The combined plan I had was supposed to include 500MB per month internet but I'm fairly sure hot-spot was not enabled a

This is a major advantage of NetBSD's Rump kernels that are used for automated testing. Some people have tried doing the same for Linux but I'm not sure if any such efforts are still in progress.

The word community can be used in a huge variety of ways. The aiksaurus headings are simulation, town meeting, sharing, society, body. In many uses it just means place. In some sense pushing back against any particular usage of a word wit

This reminds me, I was suprised to learn that ECGs can measure breathing (well, not the least expensive ones but most). If breathing is enough then an ECG might be one of the better ways for anyone who doesn't need CPAP and there are

I suspect keeping a sleep log is more accurate than most other methods, particularly for anyone who has had a chance to calibrate estimation with a sleep study. One exception might be trackers with electrodes like Dreem (I have not tried i

That is an interesting study but your summary isn't accurate. Over half of those digestive symptoms are anorexia not what would usually be called GI distress. 41 of the 99 with digestive symptoms had more specific GI issues, mostly d

Arguably it might be better to include a limited, space-optimized vector image format (something like HVIF, Haiku Vector Icon Format[0]) along with text rather than try to enumerate emoji, although there are also advantages to the current a

Thanks for providing context. From the links provided by the other poster with knowledge of this university it sounds like similar interactions with riot police have happened a number of times.
