a) I don't know, it was a guess from experience. b) Sometimes people cry 'ad hominem' after any statement that refers to the debating party ('you') and I wanted to avoid that.

The attraction for me is not about portability, it's about having a better language to write CMD script. Even when you know you have Python available sometimes you still need to glue things together with CMD.

I was yearning for something like this literally just last night. Still am, tempted to give it a try.

As I recall it was Intel driving the soft power button with the ATX standard, it was used to support the low power sleep modes. I don't think it had anything to do with knees :-)

How is this different than taking two independent bits with < 1 bit entropy and XORing them together to combine their entropy? (up to a max of 1 full bit)

I like how it has that big ass orange clunking power switch front and center as if to say "this is absolutely the most important switch on the machine". The exact antithesis of today's smartphones designs.

Twitter is the poster child for dumping Ruby. Even if Rails is God's gift to CRUD app prototyping at some point you have to ask if building a tech stack on something that is going to fail hard as soon as you get popular is providing a

Well there's also the effect that new money flowing into the stock market as a whole ends up chasing a finite set of stocks thus tending to raise prices.

While I agree that 2^32%85 produces a minuscule bias, there's this thing called base 64 that interoperates pretty well with arbitrary byte strings.

I ran the numbers based on the public data and it came out that the Foxconn factory had a suicide rate similar to a Caribbean island country such as the Bahamas.

Intel has always sold predictable, stable products. But the rate of increase in the core value delivered by their primary product line has slowed dramatically.

Proportional to the square of current (amperage). Or alternatively, inversely proportional to the square of voltage.

VC funding mechanics and technical architecture don't have the wide human interest as medical scientist. Everybody has a body after all. So a larger proportion of medical topic articles for non-doctors get written to be consumed by lea

Yes. Be sure to jump straight into the most modern C++ practices and avoid thinking of it like C (with all its focus on non-type-safe pointer manipulations). Other people have other opinions, of course. Care most about the opinion of your b

C gives you very very little in the way of tools to create and manage abstraction. Some programmers love this and for some projects it may be appropriate. But is a reason so many large native codebases go with C++. The language provides som

Yeah, that will catch a lot of direct shorts and opens but some problems just don't show up until the device has been thermally cycled and baked in for a few thousand hours of usage. It's also possible that there was another probl

The recent 'Panama Papers' leak shows that it is indeed practical to steal 2.6 TB of data.

If you are wondering "How could an isolation transformer ever get past QC with abraded or nicked insulation?", you might find this video interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEJn74Z3wHk

Clearly they need to be doing A/B testing to determine their optimum pricing.
