There is some truth to that, but large companies do have to keep their customers at least somewhat happy, and can't quite beat them up whenever they think of switching to another supplier... although I suppose you could argue the point

There are a few cases in which the editorial board of a journal has seen the light, resigned from a traditional publisher, and restarted an essentially equivalent open access journal. It's however hard to see 1) why they would simulta

You can do deployments with dependencies by building a distribution package of your own software, using the distribution's packaging tools. The tools do work quite well. The real problem is that this only works reliably for a single

To add more detail: You can split a window into multiple subwindows, and each subwindow can show any file. If you want, you can watch different parts of the same file in different subwindows (each subwindow can be scrolled independently).

It seems that unlike in civil law countries, in common law countries such as the UK and US, a license is a separate legal category from a contract. A license can be interpreted as a contract as well, but you can make a "bare license&q

The description of the Golden Cove microarchitecture at https://www.anandtech.com/show/16881/a-deep-dive-into-intels... certainly looks promising.

Semicolon-separated "CSV" is a quirk of Microsoft Excel, which they have never fixed. I figure Microsoft would prefer that people use XLS instead of CSV.

Just use a decimal point instead. Switching the delimiters depending on locale makes it extremely impractical to use CSV for data interchange with continental European Excel users. Microsoft Excel is the only program I know that insists on

It seems there is no GPU support as such. Is it even possible to set up a 4K resolution via VESA BIOS?

Another option is https://fxtec.com/ although it doesn't seem to have a second screen on the back.

The transmission of vibrations can be reduced by putting the device on a thick rubber mat or similar. It also helps to reduce the sound inside the room, so it's not just for the neighbours' benefit.

So if installation means simply moving an application to your local disk, or specifically to the Applications folder... then how does stuff end up in ~/Library instead?

I just checked Stackoverflow terms, and it still says that all user contributions are licensed under Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0, which means that copying them to your own codebase is likely to be a copyright violation. Lots of people do

$138M revenue isn't half bad. I didn't see a product breakdown on a quick skim of the financial report. Anyone have an idea which products they are actually making money from?

GCC and clang developers already do regularly compile and test a limited number of open source packages, and investigate any newly occurring failures. For now they ignore failures if the code does not conform to standards (except for notif

There are plenty of optimizations in Linux, they just pick ones that don't break userspace. Similarly compiler writers could do optimizations without breaking user programs. Although I guess testing compiler backward compatibility w

Huh. Apparently the default Amiga Topaz font was redesigned for Kickstart ROM 2.0 without changing the name of the font. Compared to the old version, the new Topaz font does look rather generic.

Right, VLA is not just syntactic sugar for alloca, it's also syntactic sugar for accessing and passing around multi-dimensional arrays. The latter two work perfectly fine with heap-allocated arrays. In C89 the ability to pass multi-di

Also, lumber is traded globally. US buyers have been importing more lumber from Europe during COVID than before. I guess that means that the demand has been higher in the US.

At least they acknowledge that the British spelling for a computer program is "program". A decade or so ago I had a boss who insisted on "programme"...

Microsoft also provides a URL lengthener via "Advanced Outlook.com security for Office 365 subscribers". Thanks to them, any URL we send or receive by email at work turns into an unrecognizable monster. At least the links includ

Do those regulations explicitly say that the RF device is not allowed to be programmable by the user? And isn't the user legally forbidden from substantially modifying the RF behaviour in any case?

Are you willing to give your money to Microsoft? There's the Math input panel included with Windows, and Onenote has ink-to-math as an integrated feature. Of course to properly use either of them, you need a tablet computer with a dig

Just adding a penalty to the objective works. Another alternative is to consider a two-dimensional lexicographic objective (total constraint violation, actual objective), so that reducing constraint violations is always preferable, and the

There are a few CPUs, for which the official assembly language is based on algebraic expressions: instructions look like "R1 = R2 * 4", or "R4 = R1 AND R3". See for example the SHARC instruction set: https://f

If the volume of feasible space is small, the optimizer may have considerable trouble finding the feasible region(s) in the domain. The simple solution is to use a penalty function instead, i.e. add a term like M*max(0, 1-(a+b)) to the obj

That could be solved by a "configure" script that translates its arguments to ones that cmake will understand. And it seems it's such a good idea that someone has already made one: https://github.com/Richard-

It seems that the arrangement is a win-win for both sides. By the time the 5nm fab is in operation in 2024, it will be old tech for TSMC, since they are planning to have 3nm in high-volume production and 2nm already in risk production. Th
