These machines were originally designed to carry equipment in combat situations. I think the New SpotMini could also be suitable for this (though we'll probably see when they release more information about this). It also seems a lot mo

I interpret that as meaning the difference between using stream copy and re-encoding videos when converting between different formats. For instance, the user might upload an H.264 video as an MP4 file. Streaming services generally won'

As others have mentioned, it would be impossible to 'game' the system in that way, unless there's something fishy going on. Perhaps these people are re-selling the lottery tickets. I can imagine there are ways to earn a lot o

It makes sense when you're dealing with real numbers, which I think is what he's getting at. It only falls apart when you try using the operator with other types.

There's a theory[0][1] that it's mostly down to aesthetics. It looks visually more pleasing that way when split into three groups of four numbers: I, II, III, IIII (consisting of I only) V, VI, VII, VIII (consisting of I a

I agree. MPV is very customisable, and it's great to have a video player that works just how you want it, regardless of the system you're using. EDIT: Yeah, I was just pointing out the fact that, if you're using MPC-HC, then

Isn't MPC-HC for Windows, and Brew for macOS? MPV is indeed a good alternative, though.

"Gyaru" is simply how "gal" is pronounced in Japanese, so it's an inconsistency in translation. However, kogyaru and ganguro are different styles. Gyaru is effectively a superset of the two, as well as some other st

There are plugins, but having to find and install one is an extra step that I think a lot of people don't take. It's far different than being able to link to a PDF file and having it instantly display in the browser. As far as I&#

Plain HTML isn't so good if you want to include images in your document or have multiple pages. You end up making the user download a whole bunch of files if they want a copy of the document. The great thing about EPUB is that all the

There's no easy way to tell, as far as I know. Some books will mention they're DRM-free in the description, but that's not always the case. There are DRM-free books with no such indication until you've actually purchased

I'm not too sure in what context you're referring to, but I'll assume you're asking for reasons why you might want to delay updating software. One reason might be because of regression, when an update introduces a bug th

That's probably it. The Twitter.app, Facebook.app, Snapchat.app, etc. would all still have their own icons, of course. But you could just hide those away in a folder.

As I alluded to in another comment, I distinctly remember seeing a web page on the BBC website explaining that this is a cost/resources issue. Apparently the capability to display an advert-free version used to be there, but it proved

Yeah, it really sucks that those of us in UK are blocked from accessing parts of the BBC website whilst everyone else can. (It's essentially down to the fact that the BBC aren't allowed to display adverts — which feature on the we

It looks like you might have designed this website with Weebly. If so, Weebly serves several JavaScript files to the user, which combine to a rather large file size. I'm not sure there's much you can do about that, though, other t

I'd definitely like to hear the other side of the story. It's hard to get a proper sense of the situation with just a single viewpoint.

For example, I previously tended to use a bottom-up approach to development. However, SICP showed me the benefits of what it calls "wishful thinking" with a more top-down approach. It also helped me finally 'get' functio

All three questions use a combination of kanji and hiragana. To me, the average number of strokes per character in all three questions look about the same. The second question does use quite a lot of kanji with lots of strokes, but so do th
