> x86 is notable in that you can cause a branch or jump without calling a branch or jump instruction. I'm curious what you are referring to here. Are you talking about CMOV? Or INT/SYSCALL/SYSENTER? Or just the ability…
It's because they have the "American dream" of rising to the top. https://youtu.be/xxD9nGL3NLY
Not disputing this, but the UX of navigating to a bank's website using Chrome on XP and getting redirected to a "Download Chrome" link when there isn't a newer version for your OS isn't a great experience either.
Or just turn off javascript for the site, and the paywall doesn't happen.
Less effective at cooling, more effective at dehumidifying (it seems there is a presumption that dehumidification is roughly linear with operating time.)

For N=104, if you look at the PDF and zoom in, you can see the blue circles have a line rather than a dot. Admittedly, it is hard to see why the blue circles do not have enough freedom to move slightly away and become…

That might be true, but the reason for this recommendation is because botulism spores can exist in honey and the systems (mostly gut bacteria, from what I understand) of infants are not developed enough to deal with it,…

The paper talks about dynamic networks where nodes are being added or removed. If m and k are fixed, does it set an effective upper bound on the number of nodes? How do you address the possibility of multiple nodes…
If you have array @foo in perl, $#foo is the index of the last element of the array, which is just the size of the array -1. So if @foo is undefined, $#foo is -1. Using a variable instead of 'foo' is a symbolic…
It is much older than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell,_book,_and_candle I believe in contemporary use it has become associated with witches, and I have seen it used as a general "occult" reference.
The popularity of lobster is generally attributed to it being canned and served on the railroads (thinking that they could get away with serving cheap meat to customers in the midwest unfamiliar with it) and then people…
Calculator is interesting in that there is a physical button on (many) keyboards to open it. Ironically enough, I encountered a bug with the Windows 10 calculator that caused it to crash upon opening: the window would…
I remember getting a free polo shirt with the AltaVista logo embroidered on it. I don't recall the specific circumstances that led to being sent a shirt, and I wore holes in it so I no longer have it, but it really was…
