What is the secondary meaning that causes people to choose the .so domain? I get .tv, .ai and finishing the spelling of a word using a ccTLD, but I never understood why people where using so (other than local businesses). Whenever I see the

Yep, I've encountered floating point flag incompatibilities when dynamically loading Borland-compiled libraries into Visual Studio compiled applications, as well as when using C++ code via Java Native Interface. It is nice that diverse

In addition, generating electricity in a large power plant is significantly more efficient than doing so on a small scale even after taking transmission loss into account. It looks like the primary advantage of a device like this is that yo

How many pieces do you typically need to play this game? The rules place no explicit limit in the size of the stack, although if a stack gets to be 8 pieces high, then it can't do anything other than leave the board, which puts an obvi

Yes the agencies will have to survey all the ways that their spending goes into research. Some of these will be obvious like NSF grants. Others will be more gray area like R&D contracts. They will have to modify the rules for each of th

Had to look that up. TVL = Total Value Locked. E.g. the code itself doesn't and can't make an effective mixer, a high volume of the money flowing through a specific mixer service is necessary.

I'm glad IP took over everything, but I wish that TCP hadn't become practically mandatory. There are some other really useful transport layer protocols, like SCTP that are great to use on a LAN, but good luck getting them to work

Wow that is a big difference on Aluminum. I was looking at the US prices myself, and my first thought was I bet I could add shifter levers on that single speed myself and save 2 grand. The EU prices make much more sense.
