Regular expressions in formulas. (Preferably Perl-style.) Golfing around with LEFT and MID and LEN and RIGHT gets old after a while, and I believe that regular expressions are much easier to explain to someone than the aforementioned nested

C doesn't have that either. Most commonly people just do a linear search. If you have a bigger array you can either use a library or roll your own almost-hash table-kinda-thing. It's not that complicated to roll your own because y

There's quite a few companies doing this where I live (Japan), e.g., https://change-x.jp/equipment . One important clause I saw was that the ownership of the panels automatically transfers back to the operating company

The source code appears to be inside the .tic files, after a short binary header. To save you some time, if you can't figure out the controls for some demos, try the scroll wheel. You can also press Esc inside demos and get some kind o

I've only seen the Sinclair ZX81. If the ribbon cable is similar (and it sure looks similar from a cursory image search) you should be able to fix the keyboard with just two electronics-related items, a multimeter with continuity mode

I have a 2nd gen Prius. You can generally use the EV button to prevent the motor from turning on. Perhaps unrelated, but when turning on the engine for the first time in a while the Prius will burn gas to heat up the engine. You can prevent

I personally don't like how it's possible to store data on my device without me being able to access the data. Also most of the time these keys are used for DRM. So... good IMO.

People shouldn't have to be experts in this stuff either just to put up a website somewhere, or worse keep up with every new ruling.

Just be careful with -D, as it is relatively easy to accidentally make it possible for other computers to use your computer as a proxy too. By default, GatewayPorts in the sshd config is set to 'no', which will prevent this from h

Your policy is blocking ptrace from processes that don't seem like they should need ptrace (very few processes need ptrace). So why would Firefox need ptrace? Some cursory googling suggests that ptrace is used for plugins and by the cr

Rule #1 of Google usage: turn off results based on search history. Think about it, how could that possibly improve your search results when you search for something you have never searched for before? I (sort of) remember the day that was a
