Kind of frustrating because of how buggy it is. Sometimes your line doesn't draw filled pieces (there will be holes), the keys don't respond quickly or predictably enough to drive in single-width corridors. Random artifacts or peo

If shouting works... couldn't the typical LOUD data center noises of other machines and AC, also cause disk latency? I know vibration affects hard drives, but (AFAIK) data center drives are mounted on anti-vibration mounts for exactly

My literal point was that China _is_ affecting our elections RIGHT NOW. So any discussion of election interference should include ALL nations that are doing it. NK and China both directly interfered in our 2016 election: http://w

I'll tell you right now. There is ABSOLUTELY discrimination against older workers. Even though most workers these days don't stay at companies for more than 5-10 years, if a worker is "too old" they think they'll be

I freakin' love it. I could write pages about each of the features I use and how applicable they are. C++ is (literally) around a decade behind D, and takes the best features D already had... for ten years or longer. Better templates.

That's really strange. Because most/all modern systems build statistics about your battery as it charges and drains, to predict the life left. Without those statistics they'd have no idea how long it will last because it chan

Well, digital protocols CAN be designed to degrade. Why the digital FM standard doesn't do that, I'm at a loss. There are definitely progressive codecs. Hell, look at JPEG (which uses Wavelets). Older kids will remember waiting fo
