Most dimensions here look like a designer draw curves that looked good, and the person creating the drawing told their CAD software "put a reference point every 0.5mm of this curve". The mold manufacturer will ignore…
Rates for human drivers are currently at the correct level for insurance companies to pay for damage and make some profit. If autonomous cars result in less damage than humans, their insurance price will be cheaper than…
I should not have to install a browser plug-in to opt out of Google analytics (that's what proposed as an opt-out option in the privacy policy). Where's the "reject non-essential cookies" button?
> A lot of datasheets are inaccessible without signing an NDA Only for very high-end stuff, where just designing the board around the chip needs a team of engineers.
Any company doing consultancy in electronics. You're going to have to pay for the time an electronics engineer spend on understanding what you want to do and reviewing your design, plus the consultancy's margin.
I discussed with people working on aircraft components, and my understanding is that weight is a constant obsession for them. Propose a new system to Airbus/Boeing, and the first question they'll ask is "how much does…
I tried three times on my 5-year-old phone. First time got stuck at 90% loading. Second time the tab crashed at 90% loading. Third time Chrome itself crashed once loading finished.
"Translating the datasheet into protocol <X>", is the essence of writing a hardware driver. Also my experience with hardware is that the datasheet is often incomplete or misleading. Most of the time is spend fiddling…
I've known several people on visas in my european country. They don't need to go out of the country to apply for renewal.
French would use "piratage [informatique]" (roughly "digital piracy"). However, "hacker" is used to name the person committing the crime.
Lots of comments here blaming the bad state of toilets on homeless people doing drugs. They're not the only issue. In France, toilets on highways are often disgusting. French highways have stupid-high tolls, so these…
To avoid that, the code should have ways to override default ports or paths for testing. Then, when testing, ask the OS for a free port or temporary file, and tell the tested code to use that instead of its default.…
Now define exponentiation by a non-integer.
I agree, and it's kind of sad that getting simple, clear communication is exceptional.
Obnoxious cookie banner with no "reject all" button. Too bad, it sounded interesting.
Sure if they use strait closures the same way Trump uses tariffs, everyone will try to not use it. But if they just collect fees that are cheaper than alternatives, ships will keep on going through.
For me, the main reason that I'm against all high-tech voting solutions is that a less-than-gifted citizen must be able to check that, at least for their polling station: - Their vote, and everyone else's, was counted…
The term you're looking for is "color space". Depending on what you want to do there's CIE XYZ (maps spectrum of color to a 3 component vector by integrating the spectrum multiplied by three functions), CIE Lab*…
My anecdotal experience is yes, most spam calls come from french numbers.
I had been having the same feeling, and the same doubts. Then I went on a trip abroad and there the Mars bar tasted _exactly_ how I remember it from my childhood (I think it was in Romania, but I'm not sure). So I think…
Sounds like something that could be solved by an ambient light sensor.
Isn't all bot traffic ultimately initiated by a human? Someone plugged the computer in and gave it instructions. It may result in one http request or billions of them, but the human is still the initiator.
Kind of like airplane boarding. The ideal algorithm would be to make people board from back to front, and from window to aisle. However, people are not disciplined enough to strictly sort themselves, they won't all take…
This is a mistake that shouldn't happen. It means that someone commiting crimes could trivially hide and get the wrong person accused by using homoglyphs [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoglyph
No one went to jail when my grandparents died. Stop spreading lies.
