Well, do the hard work when drywall comes off for any reason. That should have been done for at least 10 years now, but somehow many lack the foresight/suffer from broken incentives (put in data wiring when you have the opportunity, an

Tetris doesn't seem impractical for analytical joins, though? Granted, it needs a good datastructure; I'm waiting for a friend to find time to discuss options there. I'm firmly of the belief that beyond-wcoj is a question of

To be fair, much potential of such a memory model (notably, where the data dependency of pointer-chasing (and anything else where an earlier load is used to compute a later load's address) doesn't force a matching order of when th

Do you have any further information on how/if there are "practical" ways to get custom maskless VLSI there? Due to the practical limitations on "direct" reticle size for maskless lithography, you already need reticl

Did you forget about adjustable pitch propellers? We have managed to use human-scale ones even to synthesize low-frequency audio by building a sealed room and putting a reverse-thrust-capable one on the only opening of that room (besides a

Yes, you can sequester your exhaust as limestone. Or as soda. There are no other ways that are affordable enough to be feasible, and don't cause giant energy consumption/pollute the air with smelly chemicals. Unless you live in a

Get some wash-off spray-on chalk (essentially spraypaint that won't survive the next rain, because it's made to disappear when hit with rain/a hose). That should give you sufficiently uniform surface emmissivity to deal with

Oh, we bundle the deposit to the can, and trying to trick the machine into accepting something that doesn't actually have the deposit on it would be fraud (you'd get caught if you'd do it at a scale where it'd be worth t

Samsung 980 Pro, the original, does that when sufficiently empty, to offer around iirc 10% nominal capacity of SLC-mode write buffer (given they are TLC, that would be around 30% of the NAND).

Aluminium melts at temperatures that, as far as ovens are concerned, can be classified as "tame". Sure, the oven needs to be built heat-resistant, but a melting point of just 660C allows things like uncooled structural steel to be

Strange. We had the tech in the 90's, they were called camcorders. We had it in the 00's, they were called point-and-shoot cameras. I know around 2010 Canon's point-and-shoot cameras, at least some compact stylish consumer on
