Some information about the Toyota cases: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_... page 14 is especially interesting. And more technical information:…
There are still some mornings where one has to move to stage 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z-9RCuV0Lg
This did not help in my case. I have 3 DisplayPort 1.2 monitors, and half of the open windows get still tossed around randomly when the monitors wake from sleep, or when the whole PC wakes from sleep.
I just disable the windows update service under "Services" and re-enable once every two weeks (and run the Windows Update GUI to click "search for updates" or what's it called) to keep everything up-to-date. Has worked…

One example: when the usb cable is yanked under macosx while a serial port is open, 50% of the time macosx crashes, and sometimes the crash occurs randomly up to 2 hours later.
I don't see a problem with the sentence "Much of aging comes from a misunderstanding of the effect of comfort - a disease of civilization". I read it like this: people think comfort is good and healthy and prolongs…
I started with zx-spectrum and was also very happy with whatever was there :) But baby steps towards moving pictures that are indistinguishable from reality.. Eh, I'm just very picky. Ever noticed that the top side of a…
Yes, there is. I have side-by-side 60Hz and 120Hz monitors, and window dragging for example on the 120Hz one is much much smoother (I had to buy a gaming mouse, because most normal mice won't update at more than 100Hz I…
Use the home button triple-click trick for night reading. http://lifehacker.com/5957534/invert-your-phones-colors-for-... Another thing that really helps is f.lux for iphone: http://justgetflux.com/ios.html But this…
A lot of people will be able to tell the difference. For example I routinely try to read pdf books on my iphone 4 ibooks (without zoom), but it's hard because there are not enough pixels!…
But what is a perfect market? What if misleading the consumers brings in the most money? If it was possible to somehow find out and compare the environmental impact of manufacturing things we can buy, I'm sure our…
Replying to myself. Using mkfifo is not necessary: import os, sys, time, subprocess, fcntl sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0) read_fd, write_fd = os.pipe() fcntl.fcntl(read_fd, fcntl.F_SETFL,…
I'm using the mkfifo method on linux/macosx: import os import sys import time import subprocess # turn off stdout buffering. otherwise we won't see things like wget progress-bars that update without newlines. sys.stdout…

One sunny day I went outside and tested glossy and matte lcd side-by-side. I had the same results as described here: http://netwalker.nl/2007/07/28/glossy-vs-matte/ Glossy was better. (lcd panels were from different…

Has anyone tried the Shangri-La Diet? Seems too simple not to try it. From wikipedia: "The diet itself consists of taking 100–400 calories in the form of extra-light (not extra-virgin) olive oil or sugar water per day,…
