Some autorouters have options to only use 45 or 90 degree traces where possible (in fact some of the examples in the link show this behaviour). In a similar vein, I'd like to see an autorouter that also cares about ground plane impedan

Ah ok. But why then doesn't the ad's embed code just contain the URL of the page it's on in the query string / POST data? The (website that shows the ad's) server knows what page it is providing.

Why don't websites just remove ad code from pages they don't want ads to appear on, instead of telling the ad server to not display it on such pages by using the referrer information? Seems like a convoluted way to solve the probl

It's unclear cough medicines work at all, and if they do, it's probably only from the soothing effect of sticky liquid in your throat. In the UK the NHS recommends just making your own lemon and honey tea in favour of buying cough

Can we try to avoid getting personal? There is evidence suggesting diabetics are more susceptible to conditions related to elevated blood-brain barrier transport. So that might not exactly translate to "dissolving", but the effect

I think we will eventually realise that all degenerative brain diseases (Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, etc.) can in some way be caused by high carbohydrate (i.e. sugar - that's what it ultimately gets broken down into)

Yes, you can do that. But if you run your own server you can configure more complex filters to handle situations where mail is flagged - discard loudly (telling sender), discard silently, move to special folder if unsure of spamminess, let

I run my own mail server, mostly for fun and to learn how it all works, but so far, after a few teething problems, it works pretty well. I don't have any critical services registered with addresses from this server; I use it for random

It's a shame how so many websites just don't function even with minimal Javascript features turned off, because that's essentially the only way to really defend against this sort of malware.

It's also interesting because Australia only has 25M people. All the others in the top 10 [1] are in countries with much larger populations. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_passenger_air_...

Then why wouldn't AMD just launch a combined chip with their own technology for both CPU and GPU?

by sleavey 9y ago
Why are AMD helping to sell a competitor's product? The article says it's strictly business, but I would have thought the quick buck made today by selling graphics chips to Intel would be outweighed by the long term benefit (e.g.

I completely agree this is a stupid system that profits mainly Elsevier and other toxic journals. But this still seems to me to be a step in the right direction compared to before, when researchers were not obliged to public their publicly-

I thought UK research councils now require open access publications, either provided by journals ("gold") or by placing manuscripts on open archives ("green"). While this typically involves grant holders paying more for

Does anyone know of a tool that draws graphs that obey angular constraints? I made a tool that drew acyclic graphs this way [1] but for graphs containing cycles it suddenly becomes a nonlinear problem that (I think) needs CAD-style geometri

I am not surprised at this ad abuse at all, and nor should you be. These devices are made and sold by companies for whom user tracking and monitoring is their main business.

Many still spend vast sums on fundraising even with healthy recurring donations - it just means they spend more on prime-time TV advertisements. Charities should not be trying to sell their services along side perfumes, car insurance and su

I think charities also become less frugal when they have many monthly subscribers. If they know they are getting a large repeat income every month, they will hire a chief executive with a big salary, and generally become inefficient with do

I love this site. In the UK there are so many old railways no longer in existence that you can find on this site. It's really interesting to see how old tunnels and paths near where you live used to be used.

I didn't realise that others also actively avoid npm. I can't really place my finger on exactly why I do, but I guess it's somewhere between the cargo-cult mentality in Javascript (which makes me associate node packages with

The name makes it sound dodgy: "dark" reminds me of "dark web" and all the negative connotations. Not great for trustworthiness which is especially important for crypto.

And I bet that by "ignore" they mean "didn't allow remote tracking images in emails to be loaded therefore stopping us from knowing if, when and where the email was viewed".

There's no way they can verify the email address you enter in the form is correct as they must give you web access to allow you to click a confirmation email! Just entering a made-up one works 99% of the time.

Not sure - I moved to GnuCash with only a few hundred transactions to import, so I did it manually. It may be possible to use the search tool to find the transactions you want to give a particular category to, and then categorise all of tho
