Is PWM for varying the brightness of each pixel separately, or for adjusting the brightness of the entire screen? How are these two implemented generally on modern screens? Are PWM and FRC complementary or does one supersede the other? You

For cellular on laptops and tablets to become standard, the networks should stop charging us extra for another device. I wish I could just be charged for each gigabyte of data without regard to which device is using it, just like Google Dri

Does this mean that the R, G and B values of any pixel is either 0 or 1 at any given instant? And how is it different from FRC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate_control

Interesting perspective. But that's often not the case: In India, Ola competes with Uber, Amazon with Flipkart, and so on. Some people say that network effects will lead to winner take all, but if I can get an Uber in 5 minutes and an

You're right that what happened in Iceland hurt Iceland. But I was addressing the more general point of why the Icelandic taxpayer should insure depositors from other countries. > it’s illegal to murder someone regardless of the per

Can you give me a link where I can read the entire Windows 10 source code, make changes I want, and create a build, and redistribute it to people who already have a license? I only came up with https://www.microsoft.com/en-u

> How did Iceland’s financial laws allow a local bank to take deposits so big the entire country can’t insure it. Why not? Shouldn't Icelandic law protect Icelandic residents?

Even shared source would be great. You can see the code, you can audit it for security or privacy issues, disable parts you don't like and distribute modified versions to people who already have a licensed copy of Windows. That won&#x2

What if you use an ion drive or other propulsion that uses less fuel, and run it for years or decades? Yes, it generates little thrust, but won't it add up over long timescales?

Not the OP, but I found that PT has too much friction to create a task. Trello is much easier -- just type and press enter, then type another task and press enter, without even touching the mouse. I found that the friction of PT made me rem

It's enriching to see how needs are different for an organisation that's not building software, but using software to build something else.

We can control polluting vehicles by imposing a pollution charge, or even banning them from some roads. Or by limiting them to only one lane. I was trying to think in an idealistic or "from first principles" way as opposed to the

Pedestrians will also have a shorter walk if roads are straight, won't they? And, unlike cars, which can easily drive a kilometer or two further with no strain, pedestrians and cyclists are sensitive to this.

People are responding this way because there are contradictory reports out there. Some sources, like the one I linked to and Apple's T2 security document, say you can run Linux without mentioning that you need an external drive. Have y

According to https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/11/apple-t2-chip-cant-boot-... you just have to turn off the extra security.

Huh? You can absolutely grant software of your choosing permission to access the built in storage. How else does Windows or Linux on Mac work?

You disable Gatekeeper and thus run run any app without having an account with Apple.

Thanks, but iOS supports neither CUDA, OpenCL, Vulkan nor TBB. It's only Metal and higher-level frameworks like Core Image for GPU, and vImage for SIMD image manipulation.

Oh, which one? I was under the impression it uses only Nvidia GPUs (CUDA) on desktop.

As an iOS engineer, I remember reading that OpenCV is a few TIMES slower than alternatives like Core Image. I wish OpenCV made use of the GPU and vector hardware on phones. Is there an alternative to OpenCV that does?
