You're the second person to ask that. Can I ask why you think Juarez would work? Not trying to be mocking, just curious if its a regional thing that explains it or something else. That Warez = wares with a Z for cool factor was self ev

I consider the demoscene style, tracker produced music a distinct genre from "chiptune". To me chiptune is mostly about recreating the sound and feel of vintage console games from the 80's and early 90's. Producers put a

Those aren't general purpose compute devices. But the legislation shouldn't compel Apple to support arbitrary software. Simply to not prevent its use on the hardware they sell. So T2 has to go. Just like how the upcoming right to

Beating the integrated graphics in an i7 is nothing, especially on the older chips. Intel integrated has never been about performance. It really isn't saying much when comparing to the 10th gen chips. They use the old Iris graphics. Ap

You can easily achieve this with a thermostat wired to the compressor. Its fully hardware based, analog and is perfectly capable of maintaining a specified temp range. This is how it was done for decades and it worked fine.

My assumption on this site is that most people talk from the perspective of devs. So I assume your experience with Microsoft's documentation is also on the dev side of things. I can't speak to that, I'm a sys admin so I have

Calling it the collapse of science is definitely hyperbole, science is a method of falsification, it can't "collapse". What is at risk is established academia and society's trust in the institution. The replication crisi

Scientific processes =/= scientific method The problem is with the business of science. Processes are very much a business concept that most adults can understand. We develop new processes every day Furthermore it was used plural so it

They didn't at any point say the scientific method. And I'm pretty sure that's intentional because there is nothing inherently wrong with the scientific method. The problem is with the processes we have built around modern ac

Science has also been used to justify some pretty terrible things. And that is their point, humans are the corrupting force here. Taking a framework and then using it to justify whatever they want. The scientific method is not uniquely immu

Being prepared for emergencies is prudent. And most contingencies require the same basic preparations and planning. A store of non perishables, water and a way to purify more, a good rifle and ammo, clothes for adverse conditions, perhaps a

Pierre Spray is also a luddite who vehemently rejects the concept of a multirole fighter. The F-16 he advocated for is not anywhere close to the actual F-16. If it were up to him the USAF fighter force would consist of low tech pure dogfigh

Can we just stop using browsers as a framework for desktop applications? That's not what they are meant for. Electron and everything like it is the ultimate expression of developer laziness.

I have a 1989 marked Model M I still use. Its all original. I have to use a PS/2 to USB dongle but it still works great.

It sounds to me like you have used one particular kind of mechanical keyboard. What you describe sounds a lot like either a buckling spring like the Model M or a clicky tactile switch like the Cherry MX Blue. One of the cool things about me

The fact that you called it sideloading just shows how successful Apple has been in warping people's perception of it over the years. Installing the software you want on your compute device isn't sideloading. Its just installing s

They are definitely gimped to prevent you from using them in weapons. GPS receivers are the same way. Non Military units wont work outside of certain parameters.

That's not the sense I'm getting at all. Oh im sure there are those involved who fit the description. But for most, it isn't about making money at all. Its about financial warfare with "the man". The overwhelming ma

ISA's are to hardware what API's are to software. They simply provide a spec to conform to. ISA's say little to nothing about the hardware implementation itself. That's the real value and something that every firm that h

AR500 and any steel ballistic armor is a liability. It may stop the bullets, or maybe it wont. You cant be sure its not NIJ certified. But even if it did AR500 has the bad side effect of making the bullet fragment, the bits them flying perp

It's the whole maximum paperclip problem with automation. There is a limit in how much you want to automate a task or else you end up with major unintended consequences. You would think we would have gotten wise to this problem by now

I want it to be thick enough to allow for proper cooling so the laptop doesn't immediately throttle as soon as it boosts. That requirement would pretty much allow for everything else anyways.

You could get CRTs back in the day that were higher than 1080p with over 100hz refresh rates. I think some of the Trinitons went even higher res. It's only in the last few years that LCDs have caught up.

This line of thinking is similar to what happened in the deep south before the civil rights movement. Private businesses didn't want to serve African Americans and the excuse given was its their right to refuse service. Except when all
