I assume they always "knew" the drive was not working and the real exercise was to find why the measurements failed? Which makes this finding interesting because they can design for better experiment next time?

Intel was unable to improve their fabrication process year after year, while promising to do so repeatedly. Now, they have been practically lapped twice. Apple has a somewhat specific use case, but their cpus have significantly better perfo

One of the demos had a nipple in it. Probably got flagged by an algorithm.

I think the three major OSes are now sufficiently different that calling any of them “better” than the others is meaningless. All three have issues but they are in different places. And many of the things people complain about are just diff

Is this different from the ctrl+[ ctrl+space ctrl+b ] workflow? as those are not mentioned.

Do most users block images? I doubt it (but I have no data). I'd assume that most users use web clients, and very few if any web clients block images by default.

My bad, I have been conflating aGPS and WPS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system Still, phones do use hotspot location databases for positioning.

Nearby wifi hotspot location is the base for aGPS. Without it it would be slower and eat up more battery.

The general case would be to have text written in the same paragraph align well. To me that encompasses same baseline, same x height, and in the case of mixing scripts same cap height (in case of CJK). Basically “do what I mean”. I understa

That doesn’t solve the need of: “I have two different fonts and want to display them having the same size”. And also “I want to center a piece of text inside a box”. Both of which are basically impossible these days without special casing f

It definitely has its place. The problem is mostly that you have to actually change your code to debug it, and then remember to change it back.

Shame on the people that make interesting hobby projects without citing everybody that ever influenced them.

Thanks! I hope there will be more endeavors like this.

Interesting, do you have a link or a name of the initiative to search for?

I was mainly refreshing the pages of as many vendors I’ve found and overpaid. I wonder if Steam, GOG and Epic could somehow pool and make a “gamer certificate” to skip ahead of scalpers and miners. Nvidia seems to try to brick the drivers o

I agree that when walking on a shared road one must be on maximum alert.

by yoz-y 6y ago
I think that's a bit too much, it's reasonable to expect that cars will stay on the road. It's the interfaces that are dangerous.

When riding my bicycle I am just appalled at how almost suicidal many pedestrians are. Not only it's par for the course to not look around, it somehow became normalized to cross the street in a diagonal facing AWAY from incoming traffi

Yeah, that's also my takeaway. I've also ran into this when debugging stuff inside the Dev Tools console, but it's not really an issue when writing code.

Do they have to enter the modern world and compete with the modern languages? Personally, I’d like them to focus on shell scripting and tool making. (But that’s what I use Perl for, so of course I’d say that)

Yep, Fortuneo is the one still having sane security. There might be others but when I was bank-shopping I haven't found one.
802.
by yoz-y 6y ago
I believe security should optimise for the threat levels on the order of importance. No.1 is password reuse, which is what password managers solve.

Yes, if not explicitly then by their actions definitely. E.g.: there is only a single bank in France that hasn't switched to a stupid 6-8 digit system where you have to click buttons that appear in random order. Before then they often

I have little faith site developers care about password managers. Many even try to block them from working due to some perceived notion that they are insecure.

I had a shower thought the other day. When playing games it's often quite normal to lean left, right, back in the heat of the moment. (The good old falling out of a chair in the heat of the moment). It would be nice to have some sort o

From eastern Europe, everybody swore but not openly in school during class.

I too wonder. One thing that I found quite interesting when moving to France was how casual everybody, even high school teachers, was with swearwords.

Chopstick are better suited for eating noodle shaped noodles. However in China there is a lot of variation on that form and also there are many shapes of filled pasta.

That 2. contradicts the common knowledge that it is impossible to make the right amount of pasta.
