It sounds like they're sticking something in a small cavity and covering it. Like a filling. Minus the drilling.
My computer certainly does more than the one 27 years ago did, in the senses of operations it performs in a second, capacity of data storage, increased intercommunication options, increased selection of devices that I…
So, if the new advice is to avoid "processed foods", what set of characteristics about processed foods make them bad? Is there a specific pattern? High in triglycerides? Preservatives? Artificial colors and flavors? Out…
The code running on the CPU isn't the only thing the computer is doing in that one second, the X86{,_64} opcodes we could capture aren't necessarily exactly what the CPU is doing, and code being run by extra controllers…
I don't think it's trespassing for the players to be at Kijkduin, just problematic to have people there in those numbers. The players may be making individually-acceptable choices, and it's just the collective behavior…
Agreed. Ditto for most of Europe. Everyone should standardize on YMD. Lexical sorting and least-to-most specific times make the most sense.
I see people complain about the low power of the Pi3...then I think about how I went through college with a slower computer than that, and how the people over the previous 30 years had even slower machines to use (if…
That's the point. They're saying that those 85% of self-made American millionaires aren't as "self-made" as they claim. Like me: I could talk about starting with almost nothing in my bank accounts, getting a job,…
But IME is distinct from "Intel TXT & UEFI Secure Boot" ("this"'s referent). > Intel didn't force [Intel TXT & UEFI Secure Boot] upon the consumers is true. Both of those things can be disabled on most hardware. In…
It sounds like you operate how I usually do; the communication cost outweighs the benefits of collaboration, and it ends up being a tiring and frustrating experience. I've seen pair teams working correctly, though. Each…
All of my joystick ports were on sound cards. As for the IDE controller, a lot of computers in the late 80s and early 90s only had one IDE channel, and it was pretty common to buy a sound card and CD-ROM at the same…
Ghostery hid it from me, but it had a button for "play one time" that worked perfectly. It sounds a little like a scratchy cello.
I understand the feeling. Mobile phones are great for what they give you, but also great because they're just crappy enough to push you to use a more comfortable solution when one's available. It's great to have a Swiss…
Twirrim is stating that "ignoring the smart stuff" doesn't necessarily mean buying a dumb TV, and that they buy a smart TV, ignore a bunch of the TV's features, and replace them by using a separate set-top box.
But it doesn't have to be that way, even if it is right now. I wish there were a way to explicitly signal "I bought this Smart TV as a dumb display, and I'm using smart features, just not the ones provided by the TV".…
You may be talking about two different situations. "r-w" might be thinking about a build style where compilation just uses the versions of libraries available on the system, rather than going to the package manager on a…
It needs a microSD for the stuff in the /boot partition (kernel+devicetree files+firmware blobs+bootloader), but everything else should be able to live on an external USB device. USB+ethernet both use the same…
No, but the GPU actually contains a non-ARM general-purpose processor. I think we're in the very early days of knowing how to program for it.
This looks like the source for a Linux Mali-400/450 driver: http://malideveloper.arm.com/?modals=mali-400450-linux-kerne... I haven't really examined it, though. Maybe there's also a binary blob loaded into the GPU…
People overreact. When I saw that, I sighed and went on with my day. I consider unsolicited advertisements an unconditional negative, and for Mozilla to say that they included them because they think I'd like to see…
I've got a lot of side projects like this one. The programming I do at work has a solid purpose. It's relaxing to work on something that isn't strictly necessary, as long as it satisfies my curiosity. I like reading…
> for having fun there are many better ways There's no accounting for taste. Building something like this sounds a lot more fun to me than most programming projects that I hear other people talk about as "fun". What…
Why is everything a "product"? Why does everything have to be marketed? Why does there have to be a need for something, for it to be built and to be noteworthy? This looks like a cool personal project, built by the…
A subset of the tiles are paid advertisements. "Completely harmless" depends on your point of view. Personally, if I have a choice, I'll opt for the browser that doesn't show me "sponsored content" on first boot, just…
