Right. He was criticizing the version where one subroutine might jump into the middle of another subroutine. That sort of thing can make safely modifying the second subroutine require knowing if any of its labels are used elsewhere in the p

Most people do have some things to hide. I think people would be extremely upset if police started buying real time access to GPS data from your phone in order to more efficiently locate speeding cars (instead of setting up post somewhere a

Sure states may have that rule, but it is totally legal to go to a state that does not have the rule, buy some glasses and bring them back. (Or to buy online from a state that does not have the rule). Neither the FDA nor FTC at the federal

The fundamental idea of carbon pricing is that businesses right now have basically no disincentive to spewing out as much CO2 as they want, except possibly for angering a relatively small amount of people who care strongly about the environ

RFID and NFC are complicated. At the high end of NFC communication you have the basically the same chips used in smartcards (like payment cards/sim cards/etc) running with limited power, but theoretically able to run all the same

There were plenty of areas that already required 10 digit dialing prior to this due to past area code overlay changes. This list adds a bunch more areas. I have to wonder how many places are left that still allow 7 digit dialing? On a cell

Realistically, at that stage, the origin of the virus was far less important than the other research. If the narrative that it was an accidental lab leak took hold (even if that really is the case), China would likely cease all cooperation

I'd also think they could probably test the spin up to high RPMs on earth in a vacuum chamber, which would seem to be a good idea. It seems strange that they don't sound like they are planning that. It would seem weird that they w

Nothing in this injunction prevents Apple from requiring that if apps offer purchase options they must also offer IAP as an option. I'm certain that even if the injunction were to go into force, Apple would continue to require that. Ap

Such a system would very much compete with deposits in banks, given that savings account interest rates are already effectively zero. So why would a person give their money to a bank instead of keeping it in their DigitalDollars wallet? The

True, but there is more to it then that, as even the B cells that leave the bone marrow are not hyper specific and capable of targeting multiple different antigens (they are still "naïve B cells"). The second level of differentiat

No real argument about that. I certainly feel it is a bit misleading that the main number only applies to sequential access bursts, and that there is a fairly short burst length limit too, making sustained throughput at the quoted rate infe

by jsmith45 5y ago
It does mention it is DDR5-7200. So 7200 MT/s in burst mode. Of course the other timing numbers are arguably also pretty critical, and we don't have any information about that.

Hm.. I would have thought getting to DirectX9 would be easier, as directx9 still had some support for the fixed function pipeline. What I'm sure you were getting at is a proper conversion to DX9 making use of the shader based pipeline.

It is based on the Energy Star energy consumption criteria. The formula is: 365*24/(1000)*weighted_average_power_consumption (the division appears to be due to using unitless formulas, and wanting a result value in kWH). The weighted a

One flaw with the analogy is that a pretty significant portion of suicides (successful or attempts) are impulsive. Many people who attempt it have literally no idea they will when they wake up that morning. A 2001 University of Houston stud
