Was it really sold to the taxpayers? Were taxpayers ever really asked whether they want it?

This is an interesting subject. I wish I knew and understood more, so I can eat less meat and eat more healthily. My problem is that I’m Chinese and I live in Hong Kong. I’ve lived many years in Montréal before but I never picked up any “We

I’m thinking Microsoft’s SQ2 or other Qualcomm chips might end up in a laptop first (Surface Pro X doesn’t count as a proper laptop), then desktop soon after. (Complete speculation though)

And now that's a proprietary authoring tool, again. Back then, one of the arguments against Flash was that it was closed and proprietary, both authoring- and runtime-wise. Browsers nowadays are arguably open-source runtimes, but we sti

Yeah, Amway and Tupperware are weird. I don’t really get why they have to be MLM. Many years ago, my family bought a lot of Amway and Tupperware stuff. They were high quality wares that can last a lifetime even through some abuse. We happil

We should be thankful that they don't DRM their food so you can warm only KFC food in the KFConsole.

Do you consider Mikrotik enterprise grade? Because that’s what I use at home. Specifically, I use this: https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_5hacq2hnd_in It’s not AX, but still does N and AC over 5Ghz nonetheless.

The switches and cards might be the "easy" part, those are solvable by throwing money at them.. The tough part is the Cat6a or higher cabling. If I understand correctly, properly terminating Cat6a to a spec-conforming level is ha

A bit of rant, but the observations in the article just confirm what I have felt about WiFi in the past decade. > When I tested the Compute Module 4's onboard WiFi 802.11ac chip, I got up to around 80 Mbps, even when using an extern

I think the lesson is that if you take the chance, then there is a chance. If you don't take the chance, then there is no chance.

Here’s my lazy take: the best governing body to start petitioning about this is probably the EU. If I remember correctly, they already have some of the most consumer-friendly laws on the planet, e.g. w.r.t. planned obsolescence.

I love the idea. Can you write up a contributing guide so we can contribute word packs? It would also be useful to categorise such word packs by language (there's no reason this can't be used for Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, etc.). E

And did you know that rice cookers can be used not only to cook rice or congee? They are also very good at reheating all kinds of bread, in a way that you simply can't achieve in a conventional oven. Just stick your baguette or whateve

I suppose it's because they now "test" using virtualized hardware. So even if chkdsk runs during their tests, it's running on a virtualized disk, not a real SSD. Honestly, I'd pay money so they bring back the test

Or he could be betting on the customs officers not knowing Yves Tanguy. He could just claim that it’s a random cheapish painting he bought as a gift, especially since it’s unsigned and undated. In contrast, everybody knows what a gold bulli

Does anybody know how old Terence Eden is? He doesn't look all that young. I'm surprised that he has chosen to do his MSc now, assuming it will be a MSc related to computer science . Somehow, I've always been under the impre

So what does that say about the relative strengths of the players between chess.com and lichess.com? That chess.com has the more elite players from lichess.com and so the lichess.com players are weaker on average than the chess.com players?

The cynical side of me thinks that SolarWinds is only going to get a slap on the wrist for the recent security breach news. They’re too big to fail, especially during this ongoing pandemic. Sounds like a good time to pick up some SolarWinds

The book Blue Ocean Strategy basically brings up a similar concept. When running a business, you need to think of the bigger purpose your potential customers try to fulfill by spending money. Say you're a high-class italian restauran

I kinda like this analogy. Coding competitions are also like F1 races in that the problem space usually is very well-defined and very narrow. You'll only run in this track, you know pretty much exactly who your opponents are, you know

Can you define cheating? Does looking on Stack Overflow for solutions to real life job problems count as cheating? (That was a partly rhetorical question. My point is that what is considered cheating in coding competitions is pretty much no
