He made it known that he had a preference about the usage of his library that wasn't codified in the license, while also acknowledging the rights he had granted by using the license he did. He may or may not have had reasons for making

> But downstream didn't demand anything. As you described above, they damanded a conversation about why he was making the request he did. They couldn't just acknowledge that he had a request and choose to respect it or not when

I get the feeling that the demand to have such a conversation, at the whim of downstream, is a significant part of the burden the author wished to avoid. At least it would be for me in his position. I may express a preference and desire not

I completely agree with you. Though as a Minnesota resident, a 32F low temp operating bound is hilariously ludicrous. "Well below" -20F would be the expectation here. I'm sure Canadians would extend that to well below -40.

Nobody subscribes to magazines today. The entire consumer electronics market today can barely support one and a half brick and mortar chains (Best Buy and Micro Center). Yet I can get commercially produced PCBs of my own design for less t

The WHO and CDC have had their head in the sand for 60 years when it comes to airborne pathogens. They have only acknowledged aerosol transmission of covid in the last couple weeks. It was physicists who had to figure out why they were doma

It's a good joke. Unfortunately Sanderson's writing style is really incompatible with Rothfuss and Martin's. Also, he has his own epic series that will occupy him for another 20 years.

Same universe -- the Cosmere. But we really are talking about "universe" here. Different planets (galaxies?) that know nothing about each other, just happen to share some laws of nature (and some mysterious characters that seem to

I was curious what information an isopropyl alcohol chart would contain. This IPA makes more sense.

Even though I disagree with that perspective, it has no bearing on the fact that Firefox had already dislodged IE from a dominant browser position before Chrome even appeared on the scene.

Mozilla killed IE. Google swept in after Firefox did the hard work. (Ab)used their search monopoly to drive Chrome ads.

This is the first thing I wanted to know too. From raspberrypi.org: > Are you planning to make RP2040 available to customers? > We hope to make RP2040 broadly available in the second quarter of 2021.

I don't use Chrome, so I don't know what Chrome profiles are like. But Firefox also has profiles. Launch it with the -P option to open the profile manager and create additional profiles, besides the default one. Each profile is an

I had three FW900s that I got used around 2007. One from Craigslist and two from a liquidator. The liquidator ones had taken a bit of a beating. The craigslist one was great except for a couple inch diameter splotch of tinted image in one c

It doesn't help that many retail computers have imbalanced specs, trying to sell to people looking for the highest number on a specific component (and sacrificing every other component for cost) rather than offering a well-balanced sys

The trouble with finding BIFL products is that by the time it is old enough to know that it is BIFL, the product has been severely cost reduced and if you bought a new one it would no longer be BIFL. Sigh.

I've been meaning to get one forever too and now I go looking and they're quite difficult to find (new, retail). I guess Nintendo hasn't shipped any new stock in some time.

Reddit has regressed in this area. It now appears like an email is required for signup (even though you can leave it empty and click next). It probably deters people from creating accounts.

The disadvantage of this arrangement, which may not be obvious until you try it, is the delay in switching time. You have to wait for the monitor to re-sync on the new signal and for the USB to enumerate on the new host. I guess most people

In theory, Rust can completely replace C for AVR development. Based on what shepmaster said, certain Rust features may not work yet. I'm also a Rust newbie. This article is a great intro to Rust for microcontrollers (but it's for

The new "next gen" Jira projects remove all the features, but the experience is just as bad. Seems to be a fundamental Jira problem.

I never used a coin pocket in my life until I got a car with proximity entry & ignition. Now I wish I didn't buy these shorts that lack coin pockets.
