VM formats are easier to migrate than the actual software they run. On the other hand this is a valid concern for containers.

I find Blender quite handy when it comes to (randomized/parameterized) generation of 3D objects for the purpose of rendering, although I've only done really simple things. However the API, while in Python (which is good), feels ve

What you asked for is whether `await` is idempotent. No it isn't. The "argument" to `await` is a Promise, and the "return value" of it is the resolved value of the Promise (i.e. `Promise#then`). EDIT: I missed the

I am curious what's there to stop a kid from starting a Jupyter notebook (or even Mathematica with all the FullSnakeCaseNames) and firing away? Sure it isn't complex at least wrt. the basics (pun intended)?

Can anyone familiar with battery internals explain what are some of the likely causes that make such mass-produced consumer product go dangerous? Are they intrinsic to the working principle of the cells?

While some (if not most) of the practices sound laughable or downright (Nigerian-scam-ish) fraudulent by Silicon Valley standards, they are brutally effective at siphoning revenue from the huge rise of technically-illiterate new smartphone

It's basically a minimal system module around a RT5350, a MIPS-based SoC (hence OpenWRT?). Reminds me of ESP8266 in its not-so-ubiquitous days...

I find this (Apple directly competing with apps on its platform) mentally disturbing as it reminds me of 15 years ago when Internet Explorer 4 was sued ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor... .

IIRC the entire input polling/NKRO issue can be solved by simply switching from USB2.0 FS (aka USB1.1) to HS, which requires a more powerful keyboard/mouse controller.

The game is capable of accepting a much higher APM than Korean pro players are capable of pulling off even at peak. IMHO the AI should be subject to an APM limit (e.g. sliding window).

How I wish I had this information during my job hunt! Knowing what the employer (who picked you for interview) plans to pay you up front is an important bargaining advantage.

Exactly what I thought when I read the article. The proponents wanted to ban a class of semantics but instead chose to ban a relevant but totally different class of syntax . (can't help rewriting to follow the style)

Do you use TrackPoint? If you do, these drivers are inevitable. Considering how fragile and inconsistent across models and versions they are I'd say good luck. Nice coinage: "TPCRAP.EXE"
