Java class files (compiled Java) can be decompiled. Unless they ran the code through an obfuscator or something in the android dev cycle does that automatically (I don't know), you can get the full source with full variable names, more

I'm not sure how this is a 1-bit interface. It seems like it's '1 bit per minute'. If you arbitrarily choose a unit to use 1-bit to realize, you can build almost anything. For example even the highest end '24-bit

Looks like she's just using the Peltier effect to power some LEDs. I doubt the flashlights would work well, if at all, at room temperature but would be useful in a cold climate.

Was about to write the same thing, in addition you probably need to increase: net.inet.tcp.win_scale_factor To something higher than the default of 3, 5-8 should work.

The list of things that "can be fatal" is massive. 1 person dying does not instantly make an activity particularly dangerous.

I thought of a simpler, or at least more relatable, analogy: Most people have been around a cell phone which was near an audio speaker and heard it make those awful snap and pop sounds. It doesn't make sense initially that you would he

If my guess is correct, it would be a problem in the design of the output transceiver circuit on the RMP's motherboard, assuming the cable and receiver in the display are built to spec. Could be an IC issue, could be the impedance cont

Just a guess: The patterns in the examples seem to be horizontal, meaning the raw (pre 'cable encoding', usually 8b/10b) bit pattern of the display output would be repetitive . It wouldn't be out of the question that a

I'm not sure perfect voice recognition is actually the problem. I think I have pretty solid voice recognition capabilities myself yet the cognitive load to determine what it is that someone wants is still high.

There is some support via a plugin [0] for JetBrains Idea. I also wouldn't be surprised to see JetBrains put some internal effort into supporting Go, from what I've heard Idea is pretty popular within Google and they just switched their A

Frankly, I hope they do drive developers away from google code. Every time I run into a project using google code to host they start off in the red in my assessment. Google code is a mess, it's always been a mess, I avoid it as much as I

I've had DLNA devices for years and dealt with constant failures in various ways, AirPlay just works and changed the way I used my AV setup completely. Only a personal experience but I have heard plenty of complaining from friends as well.

They also have a bad track record of supporting other companies technologies which, at least for me, makes convergence impossible. If they don't support AirPlay and can't play content from an iTunes library, I'll still need an Apple TV.

Even well made electrolytic caps are often the shortest lifespan components in a design, so yes, they are still a problem. But this was also a poorly chosen electrolyte.

Minor nit pick: "The second, and this probably goes without saying, is that data is actually stored in the compilation using hexadecimal. " It's stored in binary, your just using an editor that displays the hexadecimal representation.

That is not a valid workaround as it applies transparency to the text as well, not just the background. I see no "rampant layering violation" here as the goal is not a transparent window, but rather a transparent background, big difference.

Pretty bad. It's battery powered and has a 4 inch driver in a tiny enclosure. Even with the boundary gain from being in the corner it won't be loud enough to amount to much in a space that size. You'd also have to figure out how to get i
