Which is funny b/c I remember around 2008-2010ish, my 'has every game console but might play a PC game once in a while' friend went on a tirade about how Expansion packs for PC games were the reason DLC was so prevalent. [1]

FBOW Navy as well as AF/Army (At least in Europe and parts of Oceania) provide power protection that may or may not contribute to economic prosperity.

Maybe it should be, though? I sometimes wonder how much value ML provides vs a proper sort function for anything but advertising.

Because the typing is still dynamic, I'd wager. In .NET you can have `dynamic` objects with arbitrary properties/methods/etc (although you are of course going to run the risk of runtime errors rather than compiler errors.) Th

Around here, a notable number of Garbage trucks are LPG or some variant [1]. Having driven a Hybrid 'Truck' (really more of a ute[2]) for just under a year, I can say that EV plows will likely show their deficiencies when you need

IFF you are LAN->LAN or even DC->DC, NoDelay is usually better nowadays. If you are having to retransmit at that level you have far larger problems somewhere else. If you're buffering at the abstracted transport level, Same.

Which is a bit of a shame IMO. I'm a bit of an apologist for windows 8.1 and the 'Start Screen', even if the Store and WinUI apps were kinda gross. Sure, the start screen was a whole screen rather than a bar. But it was easy

I think all of the supply chain shortages from events of the last 3 years has caused a bit of a push-back on long supply chains and to some extent globalism. Given their auto and tech industries (they do have fabs after all), having a local

ECC Corrects 1 bit errors and detects 2 bit errors. It does not handle all hardware failures however. An actual bad chip may fall into a different category, I think that's when technologies like Chipkill[0] might come into play. [0] -

Not sure if it's what he means, but in my experience 'High density' refers to less chips for a given capacity. When I used to sling PC hardware, as memory densities increased, you would run into things like 'This Motherb

If there is one sin here it's that Microsoft waited so long to do so while giving it little to no care in the meantime. AvaloniaUI and Uno have been around for YEARS now, and could have used this announcement earlier to get more inerti

There's different options for different things. You have: - EEPROM for low/medium frequency of update, small size, persistence - NAND flash for low/medium frequency of update, semi-arbitrary size, persistence - eDRAM variants

The housing market is also seeing a downturn. Interest rates have gone up substantially this year, and companies in that sector are definitely feeling the burn.

Probably also counting each model year, e.x. if all Civic LX trims from 2012-2022 can have this done, that probably counts as '10 models'.

Additionally Satellite and Microwave links aren't new technology and are likely used by both sides of military for communication, so there's probably some existing value in making sure you're hitting the right thing.
