Light from the sun contains a much greater number of wavelengths (and different depending on time of day) than that from the backlight; it's not the same.

Wouldn't this be similar to how weights for individual terms in a interpolation polynomial can change when adding a new point, while it still (to some approximation at least) captures all the old?

Switched to a Dvorak keyboard layout, although I did so before it got chronic (meaning pain without typing), on an ergonometric keyboard. Also started using the mouse with the left hand, despite having (a fairly strong) right-hand affinity.

Not GP, but I think what they find disturbing is that Adobe could block a plugin running on their computer, either by the plugin being timebombed, or by it checking in with a mothership.

Correct. Back in the days, it used to be that you could run Fortran 77 code through f2c and then compile with gcc using the assume-no-aliasing option, and you would get roughly the same performance as if you compiled with f77.

A variant of this is to mandate that every header #define a documented symbol, and then have a #ifndef guard for this around the inclusion of the header.

This is so true. We should patch setuptools to easily be able to create deb/rpm in addition to wheels so that open-source projects could easily host PPAs of packages.

I wonder if, instead of having two different layouts and changing between them, an alternative would be to put all the navigation keys at fifth level and above, and then hijack the Kanji modifier to switch to them, or maybe pretend you'

Kernel-wise, there isn't much common code between OS/2 and NT. Windows NT 3.1 is more like VMS with the Windows graphical subsystem ported on top of it. But yes, running OS/2 was fun days, much better than Windows 3.11 (if yo

No, you are not misinformed. Both RDP and X11 can send both drawing commands and bitmaps. However, as /u/moonchild says, only older programs seems to be sending drawing commands directly. Newer programs want to be fancy and uses t

NX was fine in the 3.5.x series, but the client is wonkish from 4.x (and out?). X2Go is based on the same (open-source) underlaying library, and seems to be better. At least in my opinion, and maybe in others here too since nobody apparentl

If this happens often enough to be a nuisance, you could try to install it as a preload substitute for an official layout (for instance en-US), or have the admin guys put the Registry settings in an AD group policy.

No need, because it is simply untrue: Electric vehicles can charge on anything from 1-ph 8A 240V, to 3-ph 32A 400V, all of which can easily be provided by common urban household wiring.

But since UDF reserves the first 2 KB, you can put a partition table on your medium, and let the first partition start at sector 0. Usually partition programs complain about this, but the file system driver lets it pass.

There used to be a bug in the Linux version of the filesystem that prevented partitions of above 70MB or so to be created (shortints FTW!); however, that is fixed now. Far worse is it that there is no good, unencumbered (looking at you CDDL
