Second to last point: > While some recommendations include using a paper towel to turn off the faucet after hands have been rinsed, this practice leads to increased use of water an…

Agreed, but most I2C busses only have 2 or 3 devices on them. There are some boards with 16 or so devices on the same bus, but much more than that and you'd better hope you can eit…

I really don't like I2C. Yes, in principle it's pretty simple, but if you consider NACKS, slaves holding SCK low, what happens if your master resets while the slave is trying to se…

An important part: > This is an observational study, and as such, can’t establish cause. And the researchers caution that the number of included studies was small and their methods…

You can still use the Uint32/Uint8/... types. While performance can vary from system to system, the range should be the same on all reasonable platforms.

Not really, the C++ macro provides information about which source file the statement was generated from, as well as color coding.

Not all of the Greek letters seem to be in the database: a search for "Psi" doesn't reveal ... \psi ...

I was thinking about that too. Although any form of delivering automatically executing code is just another attack vector. It's macro's all over again.

I wonder when we can start using this function without running the risk that our bosses/clients Excel doesn't support this function. Lots of people still use Office 2007 and 2010, …

The details of this also vary based on where you're at. In the US, neutral is bonded to earth at every house I think. In Europe, neutral is only bonded to earth at a local power st…

€1.3 per litre, so that's $5.53 per gallon.

Electricity is still cheaper than gas, but electricity in many European countries these days is at least 30 cents per kWh (and rising every year), instead of the 15 cents you menti…

As a general indication, the average software developer in the UK earns about 45k$, while the average in the US is more like 60k$ (source: payscale). The averages for London and Si…

How about the fact that a software developer in Silicon Valley earns much more, up to twice as much as one in London? Before taxes that is.

That's strange. The patch that allows it to work has only existed for less than a year. Tmux apparently passes file descriptors over unix domain sockets, which isn't supported by C…

Nothing at all. It's a concept created using VFX[1]. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/10/german-crosswalk-lets-opp...

You'll definitely pay much less in taxes than you would in Belgium.

There's a simple SecureContent (or something like that) flag that can be set by developers; this disables the screen recording.

You were right until very recently. If I recall correctly, tmux used to send file descriptors over sockets, something which isn't supported by cygwin. Pretty recently someone made …

To be fair, the engine doesn't look particularly big or heavy, a person will probably do fine as an engine hoist.

Looks like a gastric bypass.

You are of course right, but I'm not sure if people in the US ordering over the internet actually pay sales tax on devices ordered from the google play store. It might depend on wh…

I did something similar. I moved some files around between a university computer and an SFTP mount (mounted through the ubuntu UI). When I leave those computers, I always execute "…

On the Play store probably, which doesn't sell physical devices here.

700€ for the 5S and 600€ for the 5C.
