Ban the stop and go hell of rush hour. Cars rolling at freeway speed without stopping pollute way less than drivers stuck behind idiots who can't just go forward down the road at the speed limit. The human suffering and ecological imp

TL;DR we'd have to switch away from Ethernet (802.3) entirely. Even Jumbo frames are vulnerable to silent corruption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_frame#Error_detection It was a good decision at the time,

Office could freely continue to support their old proprietary formats if they wanted. In an ideal world a converter would generate E.G. a 1200 PPI render of each page, then compare it to a similar render as provided in the nearest rendition

Rush hour impact should be part of the road score. I am amazed Seattle is rated higher than an F in that respect. 405 south of Bellevue is TERRIBLE.

Weren't those reasons effectively...? 'special case everything we ever used to do in office so everything renders exactly the same' Instead of offering some suitable placebo for properly rendering into a new format ONCE with

The header is new, but what's it working with on the server side? Were there any other considerations for the selection of the value? Though in contrast to that, sometimes the criteria is just that a given number of bits aren't u

I wouldn't say you are wrong, but I would also postulate. The smallest, simplest, 'useful' (in terms of useful enough that lots of devs did good work with it and thus it might also be 'popular') ASM sets are probabl

I was lucky enough to have it as part of my college literature course. I had a choice of Greek classics or SciFi and, though I'm missing a TON of Greek classic context these days I do not regret reading ANY of the scifi books! IMO it

Tech broke a LOT and was HUGE back then. Think of it more in terms of value out of the utility. It was valuable enough to do it even with that cost. Luckily tech improved a lot, so now many more things are possible for much less capitol.

It would honestly be nice if airports had 'phone booths' like I've seen in high tech companies. Think 1 person sized meeting rooms in larger spaces. One door on the pod opens, there's a seat and a small desk inside. E

I haven't worked on a system that limited (not even OpenWRT routers) since a dev board in college. The experience I had there might be your best bet for something productive. That board came with a 'limited C-like compiler'

Another solution might be UNIONS that would have __membership verification__ including things like citizenship (which country(ies) are they a citizen of?), skills tests and training, etc. Just like competition requires 5+ similarly sized en

When will CRC32c (also used in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame#Frame_check_seq... ), MD5, etc get removed? Sure they aren't supported for _security_ use, and should not be used by anything new. Howe

Please remember to take the statements posters make in the best possible light. My interpretation of such is that they're sick of voters who expect a double standard. Don't do something ''I'' don't like w

Many systems log samples at an intervale of one sample per second. I could easily envision a transition event where a bump or brush of something sufficiently toggles one switch and then a fraction of a second later the other.

I tend to (more easily) remember things that frustrate me but I overcome. Annoyance is a real factor in it.

I think they've over-corrected from the two digits are enough truncation that was common in computers between the 1950s and ~2000. It started to become less common then, but the phase out is arguably still going or stalled until things

What sort of _technical_ solution might exist to this problem? Likely __hightly__ targeted mobile device alerts. Localize to cell tower and maybe even quadrant and issue warnings like "You are in a flood plane that might experience a

I think the others have been proven correct. It _is_ too early. It would have been better maintained in one of the other staging branches to brew and also possibly as a patch-set that could be added atop the vanilla branch.

Sunk cost fallacy and a burning (literal) desire to have small artistic things. That's probably also the reason the connector was densified so much, and clearly, released with so VERY little tolerance for error human and otherwise.

I don't think you could compete with the exact same product... the advantage of scale would still give Apple more than sufficient edge. However if you happened to like E.G. Apple's screen, or camera, or another component that was

Laws need to be revised to make it easier to remix off the shelf components. I argue, default compulsory license fees should be a feature of copyright and patent. A 'reasonable' cap to the maximum it costs to reuse an existing de

Wouldn't it be nice if buying a space launch vehicle were like purchasing a car, instead of (a military) aircraft? For that same matter, maybe that's part of what went wrong with the aircraft manufacturing business in America. Th
