What he did was awesome, and the complete silence from the organizers is such a laff, I think they are so effing embarrassed lol

I hope you don't do drugs though because you'll see a completely different side of cops (see what's happening in Norway and Sweden these days)

And in Norway the police had to be told to quit strip searches, "squat and cough", searching homes, and other invasive practices just for catching someone with a joint. They have never been allowed to use means so disproportional

Data structures and algorithms IS computer science. The other things you mention are on top of that again. IMO. But I know CS now is apparently not what it was in the 90's and 00's

Well yes, and in the U.S. that "least cost" is slave labor. It doesn't have to be, though. Do you think the EU/western Europe has lower worker efficiency even though we have a five-day week, four or five weeks vacation t

Thanks, rewatching Phenomena's "Enigma" proper was a good thing to do at 07:50 before heading off to work, and the emulator did a fine job :)

That's what I told my boss when he asked what printer to get for the office. "Just get the cheapest b/w Brother, they just work forever." Had one at the pub I worked at that printed daily reports and inventories for year

Yeah until I got balanced jack-to-XLRs for the Focusrite to the monitors, the cables were insanely affected by EMI from my GPU. Whenever it did more than move windows around (i.e. starting a game, playing a video) it noised out like crazy.

Also the reason bass heavy tracks are always first on the album. Not enough room for those huge valleys towards the center; needle will skip a lot.

If you know you have to recompress and want to reduce unneccessary artifacts, you do. But beware that uncompressed video in 8 bpc (not HDR) 1080p @ 30 fps is 1,5 Gbps so you'll need 1,3 TB to store your 2-hour capture :)

by porbelm 4y ago
Well a 1080p stream at 30 fps would be 1,5 Gbit/s -- a little outside the spec of most people's internet tubes. And 4K UHD at 30 fps would be around 5 or 6 gigabit. It helps to capture the Netflix stream uncompressed to remove the

Perhaps HBO Max only uses L3 for all content then?

by porbelm 4y ago
Well if you have the Find My Device functionality enabled, not being able to turn off Bluetooth (and WiFi) is a good thing, since a thief cannot disable location deriving and reporting features by turning them off.

Yeah on the system most of the local papers use over here, the full content is not even loaded for non-subscribers. It used to be, so removing the blur div worked, but now only the headline, byline and lead text are visible :( Guess they ca

Yeah, first thing reinstalling a computer was a clean format, copy the CD to C:\WIN.CD\ and install from there. That way, it never asked for the Windows CD when installing drivers or functionality later -- that functionality always read whe

Very close to the key I had memorised, but now forgotten; although mine had RQ2D3 in the second part and something else at the last part (I think. But am positive about RQ2D3)

Well it goes real noisy like NEERRRRRERERRRRRERRRRERRRRwarblewarblewarble and something gets hit. I thought it knew where it wasn't but that's the Tomahawk. The Sidewinder just knows where thing is. That's the extent of my kn

That's why you do industrial espionage though; take advantage of all the R&D done by someone else, so most of the pitfalls are overcome and a lot of the testing is done. Like knowing what kinds of alloys turned out not to work and

Does it not do Fn+ArrowUp/Down like any other laptop without dedicated PgUp/Down keys?

Well the 3.5" shouldn't be called a floppy disk. Or it could, since the disk inside is itself floppy, as opposed to a hard drive platter. but...

The Microsoft one was VERY true, at least until the mid 2K's. Small groups with lots of middle managers, bad communication, and hatred towards the other small groups. Dunno how it is now though.

These countries also usually have bank-supplied or sponsored mobile payment apps (like Vipps in Norway) where the usual fraud protection applies. That the US is 30 years behind the times in banking is not a shock but still stupid.

Checks existing at all is just mindboggling. Most countries quit that crap thirty years ago.

Yeah, luckily those longships are extremely seaworthy. The width and lack of height make them stable, and they bend and flex with the ocean. There's a reason Eiriksson managed to cross the Atlantic and reach Newfoundland at the time, b
