I don't follow AoC but I think Eric Wastl is awesome because he used to transcribe anime music (or someone with the same name). (E.g., search for 'eric wastl haibane renmei')

I suggested rr at one point but I think we already blew our time budget (the customer pays us by the hour). I'll read up on the chaos mode, never heard of it. Thanks!

Funny, I have an unsolved bug sort of in this area that I have never managed to reproduce. (I don't use C++ normally so that may hinder my efforts a bit? I'll try and read the article to see if that helps a bit.) I have exactly on

(I don't know how much you know about electronics so sorry if I'm stating the obvious here) 9V batteries sound and look like they should last long, but putting 6 1.5V batteries in series should last much longer. 9V batteries have

Great, stupid lawsuits, exactly what the world needs. The bank's lawyers took the wrong approach, IMO. The law (as quoted in the article) says: > The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue dela

I guess there's a large variety of reasons why cars break down. Maybe I'm just lucky(?), but all the actually expensive problems I had with my car so far had very little to do with the fact that it's a hybrid car. Rust, punct

NTSC color requires a precise frequency, but if you're fine with just black and white, you can generate NTSC B&W using an Arduino Nano (16 MHz 8-bit processor) and a couple resistors and crocodile clips and an RCA cable. (PAL B&amp

Is it safe to just leave the panels in the sun without letting them convert sun energy into electricity? If connecting into the grid isn't possible you could maybe attempt to charge batteries that you then take home and use there. Woul

I was looking to buy parallel EEPROMs (DIP) a couple days ago and found they were pretty expensive and mostly unavailable. I was wondering if that's because this type of IC is rather niche these days, or whether it's due to what&#

Hmm, plenty of other architectures to go to if ARM gets hard to license, IMO. In fact, there are already plenty of people using RISC-V who would have otherwise used ARM. Not sure if it's even beneficial for the semiconductor industry h

Yes, it does. -O0 executes the loop as coded. (0.6s on my machine) -O1 executes the loop faster. (0.152s on my machine) -O2 and beyond just figure out the result and are equivalent to one strtol + printf. So what's different between -O

I got one about 2.5 months ago. (Called "Novete" in the US, AINX in Japan -- names in other countries may vary.) It works pretty well, but there's no pre-wash cycle. "Finish" tabs sometimes left behind a thin oil fi

This is in fact a kei car (or a mini car, AFAICT that category doesn't exist yet) if you decide to register it in Japan. Kei car means: 660 cc engine or less (most likely moot if it's an EV), length 3.4 m or less, width 1.48 m or

I see it uses SelfieSegmentation and then OpenCV's BoxFilter. Do these automatically use CUDA/OpenCL when available, or does that need special setup? Would it be possible to avoid the conversion to RGB? (This forum thread says it&

Not too familiar with ARM CPU names, but apparently this is a 16 nm chip from 2016. Hrm. The product itself doesn't appear to be particularly new either; their YouTube video is from March 31, 2020 ( https://www.youtube.com&#x

Going a bit off-topic here, but I can't be the only one who doesn't know what these numbers mean... So, what do these numbers mean? NVidia? Sep 17 2021? $405? (Current price appears to be 220.68) Also I can't find NVDA anywhe

The following is just my opinion, and I'm not that hard-set in case anyone has any nice arguments. Generally, when you (for example) use GANs to learn from (copyrighted) images and generate new images, I see no reason why those new ima
