I tried Python remote debugging from IntelliJ (14) and found that the needed debug-eggs are not included with the plugin (they are only in PyCharm kit). Not sure if it's a licensing issue or a bug - the option for Python remote debug i

That's not an i7, it's a MacBook Air really low-power CPU. And it's not quad core, it's dual core + HT (i7 4650U [1]). A "real" mobile i7 quad has twice the performance, and a "real" desktop i7 is abo

Time to move on. I mainly used Picasa Web Albums because of its seamless integration with the Picasa Desktop Application. I guess the integration will not work with Photos. Photos is mobile-oriented to the point that is almost useless on de

There are zippers that cannot be closed like that - the zipper keys lock is fixed on the bag[1]; you can open it with a pen, but you cannot close it again - so you can see that it was tampered with. [1] https://www.youtube.com&#x

It still is an algorithm problem if you don't compress the intermediate files (or you compress them with an algorithm that does not help your processing).

The great thing is that it doesn't use SMR. I have an 8TB SMR from Seagate and its write performance is bad and variable, much like the pre-TRIM SSDs. It's ok if you write a lot of stuff and then just read it (you can get >100M

One thing: please add the tested card size to the table, as in some cases there are speed differences between card sizes in the same family.

I saw a lot of this splicing type in old military radio transceivers ("portable" for a given value of portable - usually some kind of backpack weighting ~30Kg - and the batteries were in another backpack). That splicing works for

It probably contains already-written scripts that invoke curl. Re-usability is a plus :).

In theory, yes. In practice, you get ~20% more bandwidth and almost no improvement in application performance.

As I remember, this is by design - better to have the cable break than the socket (as it was with miniUSB).

The slow upload is also a way to limit the backup size. I currently back up >4TB on CrashPlan and it took a few months of 24/7 upload.

The banding is mostly caused by color compression rather than device support. 99.99% of the content one usually sees is compressed, and many times it's a second compression over something already compressed (I don't know any &quot

Not different than most current offers on laptops, the keyboard still looks horrible for programming[1]. Fn keys shared with Home/End/PgUp/PgDwn, Up/Down arrows sharing a key. I guess they call it "slick", I ca

The soldered memory also tends to cost the end-user double than exactly the same memory that is user-replaceable. Just because they can charge more for the "upgrade".

In the HDD market there are actually just two companies: WD and Seagate. There are other brands (Toshiba, HGST) but these are not completely independent (HGST is owned by WD, Toshiba still exists mostly because WD feeds it with technology w

It would be interesting to know if the number of CPU types we have right now is because of hardware issues (binning) or just plain market segmentation. Because many of the features could be enabled in software/firmware, I think they co

For a while some of the Xeon E3s were the thing to buy, as they were sold at lower prices than the equivalent i7 CPUs (Xeons with 4 cores+HT and lots of cache were sold at the same price as the quad or dual+HT i5s), but this was "fixed

The images probably needed this homogenization because they don't match 100%, being taken from slightly different places and angles (so you not only get different framing but also parallax issues).
