In America, pernicious, thin-skinned, militant P.C. is widespread. Seinfeld no longer plays American colleges because of it and Bill Mahar opines often as well. In too many "retail" universities, there needs to be more fracturing

Budget and Auxiliaries alum here. B&A is a boring-sounding organization which is the primary income sheet profit-center, which rakes in slightly more than tuition; SMC is balance sheet (aka investment) management. Stanford is unlike

People whom get outside and actually examined "suspicious behavior" may be shocked to find normal, harmless people and that it was their own hobgoblins of their minds criminalizing people based on nothing more than their own fears

Wow, this is incredibly stupid: conflating http and https with minor errors. It should show half a lock icon and half of a page icon, diagonally-split to indicate mixed/unsecured content. Globbing the two together creates false comfo

Read the article: looks like a light-curing printer, which prints 2 dimensions at a time instead of 1.

What kind of NT drivers (USB, Storage, what)? What kind of Linux kernel modules? I've worked on storage drivers for Linux (2.6), Mac (10.6+ - 10.8) and Windows. What like Nt vs Zw? Are you fucking serious? Do I need a badge and cert

The two current biggest issues with thermoplastic 3D printers are: - electricity usage: heating a baseplate, feed head and mechanical effort of moving a massive apparatus bazillion^3 times. - speed (or lack thereof) of moving one or two hea

It's the same principle, I tried it. KeyCue lets you perform the action by interacting with the semi-transparent HUD and has themes to make adjustments. 20 € is crazy high for modern app pricing, definitely not at an optimal supply-de

A designer failed if help is needed. usually holds for relatively-straightforward apps and real-world designs. The issue where clear, succinct documentation is needed is complicated, enterprise applications which have expert interfaces.

Visa to China sounds like a winner: Never had to do that myself, but it seems arcane, shady magic that some friends from Hong Kong know how to perform whenever we needed to go. There are plenty of these infrequent, but non-zero, official

Crows went into my mechanics shop, got up on a toolbox and stole a recently opened bag of in-shell sunflower seeds, without being seen, and had a sunflower seed-opening party in the back parking lot. (I arrived to pick up a vehicle to find

Oh god. Reminds me of simulated processor pipeline stages (VHDL, etc.), which tend of have a huge amount of state. I'm no Fortran expert. Were there no composite types (i.e., structures or tuples) at the time or other reasons to do t

I am. The point is to show Fortran 90 evolved a lot, which is indeed, a good thing. Remember, F66 was influenced by Speedcoding which was, in turn, influenced by assembly, because practical, high-level languages were still in the learning

Dude! You did already all that hard work; make some $$, gain more freedom, while it's hot. If the cost of making another example (parts, time, skill) can be made sufficiently below (say 30-50%) of a reasonable sale price, it may be

You missed the boat and went off on a strawman fallacy based on a fundamental misunderstanding: Microsoft OS code and libraries, are implemented not just in C/C++/some asm but are also implemented in CLR languages. All that leg

Higher viscosity filler fluid and/or a ferro-binding compound to dampen the "springy" vibrations and ferro "spikes"? Btw: Comes off a labor of love and insanely-awesome attention to design and detail. Outstanding.
