That isn't the case with some of the ones that I have on hand. This "128GB" stick is "128GB" as a multiple of 1,069,285,120. Presumably, it's 128GiB less an allocation of spare blocks and the filesystem overhea

Consistency would be better, whichever way was chosen (base 2 or 10). Although even with base-10 being used all around, I might still end up explaining why an 8 billion byte file won't fit on an 8 billion byte USB key, while a disk ima

I'd consider a byte to be like a mole: it's the base unit that we actually use, and it's proper to apply an SI prefix to, but it's defined as a specific multiple of a smaller unit (8 bits vs 6.02 * 10^^23 particles). &qu

And everything is much better when we've got the illusion of agreement, rather than knowing what the assholes actually think. It's much more important to provide consequences when we disagree.

I think that's where the need for balance comes in. Lead them to how to find the answer, and provide guidance on how to interpret it...but if they want to be spoon-fed, tell them to go somewhere else. I start out by showing them how to

Perfection is a nice strawman to argue against. "Mostly perfect" is harder to argue against. In addition, there's an implied "for my purposes" attached to the end of the statement. Nothing is "perfect", an

That's about right, I think. Mine started with Java (because the school was heavily supported by Sun). Some more advanced courses went into other styles of programming (Prolog for logic programming, Lisp for functional, ARM+MIPS assemb

Looks like 30-50ms, after pausing on a bunch of the frames (the last number is in hundredths of a second). That makes it look like it may just be 1 frame behind (video at 720p, recording at 30fps, 33ms per frame). Later in the demo video, s

This is what I was thinking. When I started on my first project, there was already some documentation of the core classes in our codebase, what they do, how they interact, etc, and it was incredibly useful to me as a new college grad. It ga

You can build closed and proprietary software on top of GPL software (for certain definitions of "on top of"), as long as any changes to the GPLed software are released as source, and LGPLed software is only linked to dynamically.

I remember doing some radix conversions before college, but with no particular emphasis on base-16. The same material in CS courses mainly focused on bases 2, 8, 10, and 16, of course.
