That seems to be the position of the Supreme Court of Canada, who ruled in 2015 that it would be cruel for the government to prevent Gloria Taylor (and others like her) to seek assistance ending her suffering (Carter v Canada). As part of t

The United States demanded that Canada extend copyright to life + 70 years. Justin Trudeau and Christina Freeland acquiesced when they signed the USMCA. The deadline for implementation is January 2023, thus Tolkien's works will not be

Car seats are now designed for children up to 120 lbs. I was blown away when I saw that rating. An adult woman may very well be less than that. I'm an adult male of average height and I only exceed that limit by twenty pounds!

A password is something you know, but password reset is a bypass for that factor. They could drop the option of password reset and thereby eliminate that vulnerability, but I presume they don't because that would inevitably result in p

That looks like a pretty light jacket. I might wear that kind of thing skiing, but I'd want something heavier for in-town. A heavier jacket is nice because it's a pain to put on and take off a lot of layers just for a short trip o

In Qt, those sorts of input interactions are mostly handled through virtual function calls, not signals. You're basically referring to QWidget::mouseMoveEvent. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qwidget.html#mouseMoveEvent

I've been curious if video codecs could be repurposed to store voxel data. Most approaches seem to use image stacks, but there's inherently going to be a lot of redundancy from slice to slice. I'm sure a purpose-built format

Spent fuel will remain toxic forever. Uranium and plutonium are heavy metals. They will have to be treated as dangerous substances from now until the end of time, much like lead or mercury.

I've convinced that the real problem with submodules is basically the UI. In particular, the defaults are terrible. You can ask it to block pushing if there are unpushed submodule commits with: git config push.recurseSubmodules c

The Alaskan panhandle was the subject of a border dispute between Canada and the United States. The UK adjudicated and it was decided in favour of the US. It was a very unpopular decision in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/

The first LotR movie released when I was in grade nine. IIRC, of the 14 students in our class, 11 started reading the books after the movie. Of those, maybe 4 finished. The boredom of Tom Bombadil was the cause of a lot of the dropouts.

I was hired by AMD to work on ROCm in 2020. I'm not exactly an unbiased source, but IMO it has improved significantly. There's a number of working frameworks and Blender was recently ported [1]. Just be sure to choose appropriate

Isaac Newton clearly defies this theory. He dedicated a significant portion of his time to exploring religious ideas that practically made him a heretic. He would have had a lot less conflict with the church if we was just an atheist going

The Blender OBJ loader was incredibly inefficient. Blender used something like two orders of magnitude more RAM than necessary, so even a small model would take gigabytes. It was basically useless for any model of even modest complexity. Wo

That sounds reasonable. Until the rules of perspective were understood, artists were mostly quite poor at drawing realistic scenes. It wasn't until 1415 that the rules of perspective were thoroughly described, and the discovery dramati

The taxi that picked me up at the Munich train station didn't start the meter. When we arrived at the hotel, the driver demanded a fee which seemed quite high for the short distance we travelled. I don't speak German and had been

It seems that SHA512t256 is another name for SHA-512/256. It's a shame that the initialization is different from SHA-512, as it would have been very useful to be able to convert a SHA-512 hash into a SHA-512/256 hash.

Compiler Explorer does have GPU options, actually. It has well-established CUDA support and I have been meaning to help add HIP support.
