Is 60GHz not part of the standard now? Only a matter of consumer hardware support.

The dude on their phone is not comparable to the an AV carrying a family of 5 unpredictably veering into a concrete divider. One is negligent, the other has done nothing and could have done nothing, they only trusted the system. How do you

Statistically, yes, but I think people can be afraid of the lack of direct accountability for AVs. A distracted/drunk driver, for example, is something easy to attribute cause and blame to. And you're not afraid of the car, you&#x

Your usage of errno can cause failure on success if errno was set any time before the call to fflush. Might need a bump to v3 for robustness...

Interestingly the article says: Peek and her team found that muscle repair after injury was greater when mice were active or awake compared to when they were inactive or resting. It seems sleep alone isn't the most important factor.

That's not quite what's shown in that PDF...All oils tested showed signs of instability when heated, but EVOO was the most stable. But EVOO still had an increase in trans-fats, for example, when heated. Furthermore, in the conclus

In your example, if you exercise, you can have the pizza as well as the sandwich. This can be significant, because suppose you have those 300 surplus calories 3x/week minus the exercise (not unreasonable, a small snack here and there,

I've noticed that people tend to have varying differences in their mental map of organization. If you view a codebase as largely monolithic with only a few states such as previous/backup, current, and future/editing, the addi

If you set the SSID and password identical for both bands, the clients should prefer to negotiate the optimal band. I just checked and all clients save for some legacy devices on my OpenWRT router are on 5GHz. So I'm now wondering for

What you describe is a software limitation in the TV's video player if it doesn't have an option to loop. Right now, I can open up a video in Firefox, say a VP8 WebM, and there's a right-click option to loop it. Every notewor

by paavoova 7y ago
Looping is up to the video player, not the format or container. What "video formats" have looping as metadata? Gifs only have a loop flag so static images can be displayed instead of looped indefinitely as video.

Apple is also a member of MPEG LA, and has refused to adopted VP9. With AV1 perhaps they changed their tune and/or had no choice industry wise.

by paavoova 7y ago
Well not if users force VP9 using something like youtube-dl and pipe to a compatible player. But I looked it up and the reason Apple refuses to adopt VP9 is not so arbitrary but rather because they're part of MPEG LA, with HEVC being t

by paavoova 7y ago
But why is this tolerated, for lack of a better word? There's no barrier to adding support, a decoder ships with ffmpeg. Youtube has been serving webm/vp9 video for years, so does that mean VP9 Youtube is unavailable on Apple plat

You can do this with plain zip files as Python can unpack and execute in-memory. But you have to extract non-Python code such as C libraries at runtime somewhere so the OS can link them. I would be interested to know how the packagers you m
