There's also a long delay between any actions taken and the actual effect on infection rates, and especially hospitalisation and death rates, which makes analysing it even more tricky.

While this is a very interesting study, it absolutely cannot show that masks are or are not effective at reducing covid transmission. There are so many confounding factors, the results are basically meaningless. The most obvious confounding

That's something different. I don't see why so many different OSes have a problem with a window that is not raised having focus.

Fanless implies low power. The problem with low power is that it doesn't market itself well, because it implies a weak CPU. The biggest marketing claim that laptops tend to have is how fast their CPU is, and that's what most peopl

I used to get a call every two months from a service I actually use, to arrange their next delivery. The first thing they ask is for my date of birth and address so I can pass their security checks. Each time, there has been a really awkw

Agreed, pop is probably the wrong word. But if the demon core incidents are anything to go by [0], then I can well imaging an unsuspecting worker putting one more block of U238 onto a stack, and feeling a sudden wave of heat and seeing a fl

Please don't try to store 600kg of U238 in a 1.11 cubic-ft container. That's just asking for it to go pop. Fissile material like that needs to be spread out, to prevent any one lump becoming supercritical. See https://e

To solve (2), install earlyoom. The problem gets bigger the more RAM you have. The OOM killer runs far too late in my opinion, and earlyoom just gets it to trigger before that point where the system becomes silly.

I also think that doctors tend to dumb-down and downplay the actual truth of the effectiveness of treatments. Partly because for the majority of patients, being told that a treatment is realllyyy good can actually make it more effective, by

The simple and easy Java way to do it is to just bundle everything into a Jar. Then it really is a single file "environment". Then you only have the problem of different Java versions rejecting the jar file because it is too new

A friend is a very good university lecturer in physics, and a pacifist. He isn't particularly please about the fact that a decent number of his students will turn the particular lessons he teaches towards the production of weapons.

Unless you have a telescope with an extremely wide aperture, then no this sensor doesn't help. Pixels that small mean it is diffraction-limited if the telescope has an aperture of F/1.0. That's plausible in the most funky of

Yes, it means that i'll be diffraction-limited, even if the lens is F/1.0. It'll be diffraction-limited for red light around F/0.9. It's possible to make lenses that open, but hard. That's why camera phone lens

It's more the case that the wider the aperture, the more the thing needs correcting for aberrations. A fixed focal length prime lens is much easier to correct than a zoom lens, because all the aberrations can be optimised down in the d

The weather seal may not have been breached. If you put your camera together in a nice warm house, then it would have trapped warm moist air inside it. When you carried it in the cold, the moisture in the air would have condensed. Best advi
