I'd keep quiet about that if I were you! The tree of liberty might be looking a bit peaky...

I think university was the first time I'd been anywhere with numbered rooms that were arranged in a structured fashion, though even that wasn't entirely consistent and many buildings seemed to have mostly named rooms. After the wa

At some point while I was growing up, I found out that American streets were often numbered rather than (as is traditional in the UK) named. Then at some point, a few years later, I discovered that they weren't random, and were actuall

It isn't, the point is just that you need 1 dongle for this now, and you'll need 1 dongle for it with USB-C. This isn't making stuff better, but it isn't making stuff worse. (Well, OK... it is making stuff worse, becau

But you already have to connect a bunch of dongles and wires if you're using it at a desk... Personally I find myself almost always using my laptop in one of 3 ways: - on my lap, in front of the TV, on dining table, etc. - no dongles o

I'm not the same person, but I'll never turn down a chance to moan about Xcode ;) The main problems I had with it when I was using it, mainly Xcode 4/5/a bit of 6: - super- lame extensibility support - there was basical

In fact the An255 can carry 250,000kg... (My initial complaint was just with the units mismatch. But, as is often the case, this is just the tip of the iceberg. My rule of thumb remains in force: any time an article mixes up metric/imp

Any time they don't translate between units, or mix different types together, I assume the writer is not only functionally innumerate, but also just repeating what somebody else has told them to say... Also note that (according to Wiki

Hmm... green for one implies red for the other, is what I meant to say... Maybe I should have added a disclaimer: I am not your driving instructor

Good point. That's probably a better tip, given that you can do the same thing with text.

When there's no junction, you don't, and in all cases green for traffic implies green for people - but not vice versa. At a crossroads traffic must be blocked in both directions for it to be safe to cross. A red light for traffic

Fine in this case; not so good for paper.pdf or setup.exe! It's not the end of the world, just a minor annoyance, of a type I'd seen before, that (having 5 free minutes while in the middle of something) I felt moved to comment on.

I don't appear to be able to put the debugger windows wherever I want in VSCode, let alone create additional ones... so I'd say that VSCode isn't really a substitute :(

In April I downloaded VSCode version 1.something, or whatever, and got VSCode-darwin-stable.zip. And now, today, I download VSCode version 1.5, and get... VSCode-darwin-stable.zip. Two files with the same name. Of course, Firefox renames th

This package suffers from what I like to call the paper.pdf problem - very different files, rather uselessly (although not entirely illogically) given identical file names: ~/Downloads % md5 VSCode* MD5 (VSCode-darwin-stable(

This is going back a few years now, but I'm pretty sure NULL was valid to read from the Wii's CPU (though not write, I don't think). It was where the product code was stored, as I recall - so every now and again you'd fi

For short runs, any fixed-cost warmup/cooldown periods might dominate - a latency/throughput tradeoff kind of affair. (I am just shooting my mouth off and have no idea whether that's the case here.) As for how to do it, I&#x2

I think the point is that he's spent $79,000 on the car, which appears to be glossed over somewhat when calculating the TCO. What does T stand for, after all? The price of the car absolutely must be included.

It's a proxy for the UK's equivalent of the culture wars... that's the long and the short of it. Nobody really gives two craps about the EU one way or the other ;)

This distinction isn't really understood in the UK either, at least not as far as I've ever seen. If your car drives all 4 wheels, it has 4 wheel drive - no, seriously! - and you just have to know what its limitations might be. AW

Do you disable the compiler warnings just in case it reports something that isn't a bug? Probably not. The same applies here. Just because it's a (not very thinly veiled) advert, doesn't mean you should automatically dismiss
