When buying used car seats, remember to check the "use before" date that is marked on it. They only claim to achieve the designed strength/protection for a number of years. At least in Europe.

Not having used sam, but having used Linux since the 90s, why is "lines" quoted? Do text files not consist of lines, in sam?

That is a popular counter-argument against many things, but if we have visible (dare I say concrete) evidence that Roman concrete structures in seawater are still here, while now there's like a whole field of infrastructure/constr

It is simply measured in Kelvin. Kelvin is the standard unit for temperature, 0 Kelvin is the absolute zero point. Each step is the same size as a degree Celsius, but there are no "degrees". Edit: remove assertion that the scale d

The AVR microcontroller architecture, perhaps most widely known from Arduinos, is from Norway [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_microcontrollers#History

That sounds fantastic. It would be awesome if it had some kind of external trigger, since the very low weight and small size means it should be very easy to integrate into other things (model train, drone, r/c car, robot, whatever). I

I think the article doesn't consider those to be scaling, which was slightly confusing.

Classic nit pick triggered by at least some national tech pride: Axis Communications [1] is from Sweden. Founded in 1984, they are pretty cool. Edit: added missing word. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_Communi

Okay, but it would be more helpful if you provided some actual arguments against the technology.

Thanks, that was really good and with amazingly convincing detail of the technical things. Wow! Now: scared. Eh. The most jarring thing (to me) on a quick perusal was the idea that a programmer would walk to a Peet's coffee in another

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I'm not a native speaker of English, but pretty sure that the word "tic" [sic] is not what you want. Look into apostrophes [1]. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27_(dis

Yes but that is a very limited third button. You cannot do chording (e.g. left+middle buttons together) using that approach. Some specialized applications use chording. Edit: spelling because phone.

I thought this was interesting, although of course I agree with many commenters' take that the lack of reference to the "old-school" ARM where everything was conditional is odd. I got curious about how RISC-V handles this, bu

Yeah, perhaps even more when they wrote said implementation. :) Nothing against WalterBright, I just thought it was funny to use your own compiler as a referene like that. I don't quite understand the point, is forward references to un

That was in 2019. It has probably tripled by now, and/or the SoC is unobtainium. Mumble.

Good point, thanks! I guess the RPi's special relationship with Broadcom is shining through a bit there, or something.

I realized I had no idea what actual platform these were (I'm old enough to remember longing for one of these but never had one back in the day). It's powered by the NEV V20 [1] processor, which is a 16-bit chip that is code and p

That is horrible if true (I find it hard to believe that US military personnel is trained to use "tactical" hand signals when trying to communicate with the general public). However, it says that the policy is to first hand signal

This is awe-inspiring and almost scary, it's pretty much beyond my understanding how much data these systems are meant to process. What is also beyond me is how someone at Nvidia thinks that the label sequence "1.00E+2; 1.00E+3; 1

Sometimes an "existence proof" works to kick off new projects inspired by the thing being shown off. The core idea here would seem to be a UI library optimized for e-ink, that uses TypeScript to do the actual UI:s but then relies

Very interesting, I love these deep-dives into the beloved 8-bit machines of the (my) past. Meta: I was going to say something fun/snarky about the humor in a retro-computing page using Python 2.x code, but the page is from (2019) whic

So there are filters that simply collect CO2 by trapping the molecules directly? Wow, TIL.

This seems to be like the classic wxWidgets [1], i.e. it's an API that wraps the underlying platform's default toolkit. So on Windows it uses Windows' native controls, in Linux it seems to use GTK, and so on. That means that
