Man, as a C# dev, I'd kill for a single exe output. The binary being only 40MB is an absolute fantasy. We have a project at work, it's nothing crazy, mostly shuffling data from one pipe to another, maybe a few thousand lines of

You're being an unnecessary dick. Long compile times are annoying and affect productivity. Some people are really sensitive to this type of disruption and it gets very difficult to stay in flow when the only thing you can do is sit a

That's more or less what we have now. Slide rules and computers are linear systems which can compute nonlinear functions. The problem is that computing anything takes time and must be a linear set of instructions executed in series (mu

Part of the problem is that public libraries also generally lend DVDs et al for free. If your local library is well funded, most new titles appear on shelves pretty quickly after release. The target demographics of people who can't aff

The gesture recognition sounds incredibly interesting. I work with vision based band tracking, and performance really isn't good enough for my application. I wonder what kind of resolution you can reasonably achieve? Is it good enough

I had to do a similar thing with my T530. I wanted to upgrade to a WiFi 6+Bluetooth card. The built in Bluetooth adapter is very old, I think v4.2. It's also a finicky module with a mezzanine connector, and it's nestled deeply int

The usual line that Lenovo gives is that this is for FCC reasons. The argument goes that the laptop is FCC certified as an entire unit, and changing the WiFi card technically invalidates this. This is quite plainly nonsense. Every other man

Yeah, a purely resistive network will be linear in all respects (discounting thermal and related drift). A network of transistors operating below saturation makes much, much more sense. It's really directly analogous to how we compute

This is about sesame. Last year or so, the FDA changed the rules about sesame as an allergen. Some bakeries then decided to just slap "may contain traces of sesame" on everything so they didn't have to pay the cost of actuall

Somewhere around 2005-2008. I was a teenager and got really serious about my computer so I saved my lawn mowing money to buy a staggering 400GB(!) Seagate. The drive was always a secondary bulk storage drive that just kept moving into each

I run a cloud backup service. Cloud backups are good for you, the user. Therefore, I have the right and moral obligation to break into your computer and upload all of your data to my own servers without your knowledge or consent.

It was less that they wanted to do layoffs and more that they tried to force him to layoff people with no warning, no discussion, no questions allowed and to take full and complete responsibility for said layoffs that he had no knowledge

Do a fresh install with a new Microsoft account. Click on all the taskbar widgets and scroll through the start menu. It's inexcusably egregious.

The concept of holes is important, but it doesn't have much practical use. It typically only comes up when you're discussing the physics of how semiconductors work, or doing similar electron-level analysis of a component. It'

The main way that inductors function is by storing energy in a magnetic field, exactly analogous to the way capacitors store energy in an electric field.

Experimentation brings knowledge, not understanding. Franklin did not understand electricity, but merely observed it. It wasn't until we discovered the electron proper and Maxwell did his work that we-- anyone-- understood electric

We need to bite the bullet and start building out district heating systems. Use waste heat from industry, use heat directly from nuclear sources, build solar concentrators with huge thermal batteries. There's no shortage of available h

Free markets work for people with power and wealth. Free markets do not work for people who need insulin to survive, for one example. The free market failed so spectacularly that we had to introduce legislation to regulate the insulin mar

What audacity to try and pull a move like this so publicly. It's incredible that there are people so stupid as to think they can just get away with anything. The complaint seems pretty cut and dry, this was clear violation of federal l

This is a remarkably privileged take. Maybe you can go about daily life and relationships with no major hurdles, but plenty of us have gone though a lifetime of suffering to barely scrape through daily life on our own. Even more cannot li

Partly, but the main effect is simply the different neurology. Neurotypical people actually get a kind of high from amphetamines, whereas ADHD people just get balanced. The drug just has a fundamentally different effect on people with ADHD.

How do you propose blocking a port between the cable network and your modem? You'd have to build your own custom firmware that doesn't acknowledge upstream firmware update requests. AFAIK, they can/will kick you off the netwo

Lithium ion is a bad choice for a UPS. You ideally want your battery at 100% charge all the time so you have full backup capacity when you need it. Lithium ion cells hate this and will quickly lose most of their capacity, rendering the UP
