I think it is great that microsoft has a diversity policy and is making clear to everyone there that it matters. It is quite ham-handed, but that is kind of the default in corporations of that size. I can imagine the frustration having to d

The current frontpage story about Dvorak layout for the iPhone triggered me to search online if someone implemented a single handed chording keyboard. It turns out someone has! For me, having a chording keyboard on the phone itself is the k

This depends per country. But be aware that if you sell them, the buyer buys the right to generate electricity using fossil fuel, and sell them as if they are green/renewable. If your intent is to accelerate the transition to renewable

For curiosity: how are they sorted? Are hiragana/katakana symbols considered equivalent?

It would be very coincidental when both fail the same day due to shoddy workmanship.

And in that calender, February is the last month, which makes it the logical month for adjusting leap years.

Not necessarily. After the transform, there are more runs of characters, but it could be that this comes at the expense of recognizable patters (like common words) in the input. It likely helps simple compression algorithms more than sophis

It works the other way too: If a politician objects to FAANG privacy violations, they should not introduce laws that allow such violations themselves.

I don’t particularly like crypto but I don’t think we need to rehash the same debate again. Isn’t it interesting to hear what this guy is going to do? Passing judgement does not improve the conversation.

An easy question to ask: “would it be fine to add or remove an arbitrary number of leading zeroes?” If no, don’t put it in a number field.

That is expected to a degree: the revised colors are less saturated because some white is blended in. The point is that they stand out more against a black background. Is that also your observation?

If you know assembly, Pascal took away a lot and gave little in return, and it was verbose. I worked on a 80x25 monitor so the verbosity was annoying. Only functions could return values, but they were not guaranteed to be pure. No early ret

My intuition was indeed trained a long time ago. In terms of memory use, the current choice is likely optimal. But I have a hard time believing that doing an or operation on two sets of sorted numbers will be as fast as the same for two bit

It looks a bit too simplistic: Blocks with up to 4k items are stored as sorted lists. Having to insert in a sorted list up to 4k items seems very expensive to me.

I suppose it helps that truth is self-consistent? You could write articles explaining a flat earth model but that would introduce many ad-hoc arguments that violate other observations and confirmed physics phenomena.

The problem lies therein that JBIG2 has a compression factor, that is controlled by people who have an incentive to increase it, where few people know what it actually does. And how much testing is really done when is changed? Will the test

This just forbids developers to write their own browser engine. It is OK to use the iOs provided webbrowser as a control in your app.

Or Moonbeam? Replica? WBTC? acceptableRoot()? I don’t get any of this. If I get it correctly, Web3 would use crypto technology to let you buy a digital costume that get to wear both while playing fortnite and on Facebook when chilling onlin

Perhaps we were unlucky. Fyi: the standard iPhone warranty does not cover water damage (and it was just a spill, not submerged). Found out the hard way.

I appreciatie your engagement. But as an engineer, be aware that many of your colleagues mostly want to please their boss, and have a hard time imagining any disability. If accessibility is not on the organization’s radar, the best strategy

There’s probably multiple reasons why DICOM does not support PNG. Most compression formats in DICOM are those published as official standards in the JPEG family from ISO. The original JPEG from ‘92 already included a Lossless mode which su
