You are looking for the Magic SysRq Key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key - Alt+SysRq+u remounts all filesystems readonly. Looks like some of the Magic SysRq Keys are disabled by default now in new Ubuntus

Any link to a YARP vs ROS comparison? Seems like it is solving the same problem, figuring out device messaging and interoperability?

Summary: VBR encodes videos with a variable bit-rate throughout the video. By fingerprinting many videos, recording the bitrate at different parts of the video, they can make a guess at what you are watching by looking at the size of the st

(Tangent: The Dallas of >3 years ago had a good CoL. Everything has gone up $100k+ since and it's still going... Those same houses are 400k now. And new homes have tiny lots.)

Yeah but couldn't they stick some 'yes, please cache the source, I am debugging' option in about:config? Then it only takes up space when someone needs it.

Yes, the article still gives good advice for SQL Server. I was meaning in the more general sense - Oracle hadn't released 12c yet, Postgres was at 9.2, MariaDB just released 10.0. Lots of changes in the other DBs to make them more comp

No - since the metric used in the article is in terms of licensing-$, not a technical reason. > "SQL Server Enterprise Edition goes for about $7,000 per CPU core – not per processor, but per core. A two-socket, 6-core-each server r

You need better sync than ~1 microsecond to do time-of-arrival localization for Wi-Fi style signals, though... since RF waves travel at around 1 ft per nano second. Ultra-Wideband devices can get this synchronization though, and can be use

Probably not, Sprint doesn't have the greatest coverage, especially not in 'the boonies of rural Oklahoma.' That's a pretty neat trick though... (tax deductible, unlimited wireless hotspot for $500/year!)

There's probably not a huge risk running it cooler, but I would definitely try to learn the correct way to save time. I have always tried to explain it like this: the idea is that the iron gets both areas to above the melting point of

Why can't it be both? Isn't "investing" in the stock market also gambling? Bitcoin is a pretty great investment asset actually, since there is a finite, limited supply, and any sum can be transferred nearly instantaneous

Lithium-Ion technology is pretty well-understood at this point. Just remember that there are 10s or 100s of Billions of Li-Ion batteries around the world, and having a single one fail catastrophically is still enough to make headlines...

I don't think you can write a DLL/dylib in D to work with Python, since D has a GC (actually, it looks like maybe use of the GC can be worked around with some careful programming in D. Still, the D runtime itself may conflict.) Fr
