It appears the exam was online for the first year, and was administered by Pearson Vue, the same Pearson responsible for MyMathLab and others. I can't say I'm surprised that the system crashed, given that. Pearson software is just

That or simply timing issues. The center core should be faster than F9 is when it's coming in for landing, so if the compensation for that wasn't worked out quite right (possibly due to extra weight in addition to the velocity dif

Well, in a true utopia it'd be unnecessary, because no one would hack the cars. Which would be nice, but... unlikely. In any case, I agree that it's unlikely unless there's a severe disaster related to OTA updates, but it&#x2

That's true, you certainly don't. Honestly, it's true of any car - if something looked like a PT Cruiser (to pick a stereotype) but did what I wanted far better than anything else, I probably would have gotten despite the ext

To be fair, the older Odysseys were really damn ugly. Newer ones are slightly better, but not amazing. Of course, interior wins over exterior every time, but I do admit to some confusion as to why anyone bought the old ones.

There's a very simple update mechanism for any car (or anything that doesn't get put in space or dropped to the bottom of the ocean, really). Recalls. They're expensive, annoying, etc. But they're safe (or safer, at leas

Evidently blocking math is probably not okay. However, mining is useless without a way to send it back out to the network. I doubt ads need networking capabilities - so just prevent that bit. That should do it, as far as I can tell.

This only works if EVs can be charged easily, everywhere. That is not currently the case, and given that I currently see no planning around this, I don't expect it to be the case by 2025 either. I briefly (very briefly) considered eith

That doesn't mean it's an improper fix. Intel's corporate inability to handle potential fallout does not change that the right/proper fix is to enable security by default. The only improper thing is that we need this fix

But that'd still be vulnerable. The issue isn't that you can read whatever was in/got brought into cache, the issue is that you can tell which part of the cache got evicted and infer values based on that.

I'm no chip designer, but maybe a 'small' speculation cache which allows quick moving to the real caches might be better just in terms of less cache needs. If there's not enough space then you can't speculate farthe

The 'Textual Luna' section mentions language interop/FFI. However, nothing I can find elsewhere mentions anything on it. I understand that it's 'coming soon', but what does 'soon' mean in this case? N

OT: Do dark but high-contrast themes have the same issues? I ask because, just to reduce eye strain in the other direction, I avoid bright screens where possible. Probably a side effect of often doing things late or even at normal times dur

As a Canadian: what's bad about Canadian customs/border crossings? Can't say I've ever had a problem, but then I'm also a citizen, which may make things different.

IMO this is very dependant on the theatre. The ones here have fancy seating, better sound, 3D, etc. For many movies, it's very much a better experience. If you're watching the bog-standard 2D version of the latest comedy film? Yea

Still works. Whether X has any elements is irrelevant, as sizeof doesn't evaluate the expression. Instead, it returns the size of the static type of the expression.

While we don't read letter by letter, this does still require some left-right scanning for longer words. In texts (or languages - German?) with many long words, this would be an issue. The initial method seems to do the best job of not

That's my understanding as well. The ship moves really slow by comparison to the rocket, not much useful moving it can do - it just stays in place despite waves and weather.

Keyboard buffers are decidedly not on the physical keyboard. The keyboard might have a very small one, but the IRQ is triggered on every input. The buffer in question is, for a tty, a driver-level buffer that holds on to the data until some

Out of curiosity, what does your SB have the dedicated GPU in the keyboard? I haven't had any issues with my SB falling back on the display, (the keyboard is nice and heavy on mine) so I'm wondering if it's the graphics card

The logo looks very much like a koi fish to me, though I'm not sure I could articulate why. Though I think the color makes it salmon-y enough to pass muster.

Looks like it has some form of git support, via libgit2. Dependency chain for that is probably where it came from.

I'm on a surface book, but have a similar issue. OneNote is the best I've found, but my issues are a few things: - Something about how changing color works doesn't quite feel right. - I can't shuffle pages around, overl
