As a non-native speaker, I think there are some classes of errors like confusing homophones that native speakers are much more likely to make, e.g. "could of", their/there/they're, or even the above-mentioned its&

These privacy forks generally lag behind upstream by at least a few weeks, thereby providing enormous attack surface in unfixed bugs. They're terrible for security. Chromium is just too large and fast-moving for a small team to maintai

Except two of those numbers are off by three orders of magnitude. Caffeine's LD50 is 150-200 milli gram/kg, Glyphosate is at 2-5.6g/kg (in rats). These numbers are completely meaningless, though, because LD50 is not the corr

rooting their phone is not something a security-conscious person would do, either. Edit: maybe I should have explained my position. There are a few security issues with rooting a phone, e.g.: - rooting usually requires unlocking the bootloa

Why are you baffled? It's no secret that Nvidia's linux drivers cause problems and that Intel's tend to be very good. For the record, I had a really bad time with Nvidia hardware and their drivers on Linux, and the whole Op

If you haven't replaced your lighting system in the last ten years, now might be a good time to buy LEDs. They have improved in reliability, colour spectrum (warm white), and price. Incandescent bulbs are no longer sold in the EU. All

They're both very good now. Sometimes the error messages of one are clearer than the other's, sometimes it's the other way around. If I don't immediately find the cause in a long templatey error, I'll just check the

That's unrelated. The lights need to be able to connect, not your browser. It's not about having a website where you can download a new image, it's about having the lights download a new firmware image. What browsers do or

Figure 2 shows the floor plan; there's a large 256x256 8-bit matrix multiplication unit taking up nearly 1/4 of the die area, and the rest of the chip seems designed to feed it as quickly as possible. It operates at 700MHz and can

Again you single out Lithuania, completely ignoring that most European countries have a homicide rate that is 2–4x lower than that in the US. Let's just check a few: France 1.2, Germany 0.9, UK 0.9, Italy 0.8, Spain 0.7, Poland 0.7, Au

Note that if you're very explicit about v not changing in the C++ code, like so: const long w = v; for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { sum += w; callback(); } ...then clang++ generates the following:

Pretty sure I'm not. The 0.58/100k figure for the Netherlands includes all gun deaths, too. Washington, NY, has a population of <64k people. Yet its gun homicide rate is still 58% higher than that of the Netherlands. And that

I'm sorry, but the lowest group for that US graphic you linked is higher than the number of the Netherlands (0.58 gun deaths, 0.29 of which are homicides, both per 100k). The lowest groups are 2-7 and 0.5-1.4, respectively, both of whi
