There is a newly released tablet with transreflective LCD and front light: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/world-s-first-color-rlcd-... I got one on kickstarter a week ago, so I am still in the experimenting phase w

The Merriam-Webster definition tends towards a vehicle being something with a power source (something where the power source is not manual/manus/human) capable of moving other things. That would include any sort of powered chair,

Oops, yeah, that was a calculator fail. It should have been about $6k/year, but I dropped a factor of 1k. Which is still not much, but a bit more sensible.

$10 billion is roughly $6 per homeless person per year in California. How much are you expecting this one free cup of coffee per quarter to accomplish?

I didn’t look at their implementation, but in general, strings don’t have to be aligned so you can only peek one byte at a time looking for the end, besides not wanting to annoy valgrind and other similar UB detection tools by reading past

Those are still very hard to get for a random hash, and GitHub I think warns (or blocks?) you if you try to push a hash with a known vulnerability.

This seems a fun direction of thought. So does it cease to become a vehicle as soon as someone sits in it, and resume its functionality as a vehicle as soon as it is abandoned?

More recent standards also fixes several issues with C++11 atomics, like the template definition for store/swap conversions were mis-specified, so they did not work, and atomics were not defined to be compatible with C11 and now are go

Does that end up moving high bits into the low bits? That could possibly be very helpful for all sets of strings, since the equality test will start with the first byte, so it could better to have the rotr on the hash so that the hash is le

Probably only at night when things are calm enough it activates that measurement, or if blood oxygen levels drop for long enough. I am unsure whether the change in blood oxygen would be detectable though—has anyone seen that measured based

I am probably not the target audience, but it would be cool to have some more descriptive text there, and an about or FAQ page to tell more about what it can do and what it knows or doesn’t know in the databases it has access to

Sounds like an argument for liburing more. That also is supposed to let the kernel share buffers and reduce syscalls, but does come with a mechanism for handling errors without terminating the process

setjmp and longjmp are not normally compiler builtins, just some library functions. They are quite different also from the __builtins that you mention, sometimes in quite surprising ways. Actually compilers are very buggy when you use these

My wife requires that we have cutlery pointing in both directions, in two neatly sorted piles, to optimize space usage and look good. But we also sort into the drawer not the dishwasher (I have to sort at least once, so it seems faster to m

Some machines, even very cheap ones, have an indicator light for the cycle finished. Some just show if the cycle is finished and so it indicates if someone has opened the door since then, but better ones keep that indicator lit until the ne

I don’t know about grocery stores in your area, but I can easily find egg cartons with 2-3x price differences sitting next to each other in my city. Most people (the median) buy the cheapest. But the average cost of sale is slightly higher

For me, it was the history data. I could check if it snowed in the last couple days in a new location and whether it melted yet. With most weather apps, the furthest back I can see is midnight, which does not even answer the question of whe

As does yours. But you are using an economic trick to hide it from yourself. See the "Save More Tomorrow" plan by Nobel Laureate Thaler and Sunstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_(book)#cite_ref-21 It i

That sounds like just a difference of semantics and accounting of the same notion. In net, your suggestion also results in $1k moving from google to the open source. Although that is modulo tax implication differences, since open source pro

Just curious, but are you referring to the recent Canadian study that showed people who self-selected for vaccination may also be associated with being safer drivers? https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(22)00822-1

In case they don't answer, I would guess they are referring to VAERS data, and some random guy who once claimed it underreports everything by 40x. This is not logistically plausible (where would you hide 40x more patients than expected

What he is saying is not true. The large vaccine trials have always been about testing the effectiveness at combating disease directly (measuring rates of reported illness or hospitalization), with antibody titers used as a quick secondary

I agree it is good we keep funding studies to try to better understand and predict the effects of the vaccines. What would it mean to feel like we have a good understanding though? How would we quantify "god"? We have observed tha

I would agree with klipt: why were so many influential figures allowed to spread disinformation based apparently on misunderstanding mathematics, the scientific process, and just caring about general health and welfare? It was said once tha

We can estimate from excess death statistics that this is basically a non-risk for most people. Unlike getting ill with COVID, which we can also estimate from excess death statistics is a notable risk factor for most people.

My understanding was that it is not about the bag, but where it tends to end up afterwards. Trash bags mostly end up in landfills, where they do no harm. Grocery bags by contrast have a higher tendency to be mis-identified as recyclable and

That feels an awkward way to word that claim, since both of those outcomes have mathematically zero chance of being true literally (interpreted as points), or less than 5% total chance of being true (interpreted as areas) I think the conver

Right, the parent post was making the same point: the article claims to have shown a lack of statistical correlation, but all they did was show that their study lacked the ability to detect correlation. It is a subtle movement of a few word
