However, looking at the Pentium Overdrive pinout the extra row of pins doesn’t seem to be at all essential. There is a number of extra power points and some signalling pins to supp…

In Canada you can still buy that over the counter. You get id-ed and they keep a record of your purchases, but since it's now generic pills it is now much cheaper than it was befor…

"Viable" as in "you have no other choice sometimes". This forces you to deal with 3 libraries each with their own quirks, pitfalls and incompatibilities. Sometimes you even deal wi…

That is the nature of captchas by design. 2000s captchas can probably be solved by off the shelves OCR.

My take on that is that it's up to the kernel maintainers to unban them. If they end up the investigation with: "Yeah, that was bad but we won't do anything about it", it's unlikel…

If they really care about being banned, they'll have no choice but to follow thorough

This indeed looks like a FUD statement, implying that they can have an infinite amount of potential vulnerabilities. Realistically though, writing parsers that do not yield control…

It seems to be a retaliatory measure against this: > When Cellebrite announced that they added Signal support to their software, all it really meant was that they had added support…

We live in a society (many of us) where "low calory food" is synonym of "healthy". I think it's one of the ultimate modern luxury, to look for food that will yield little energy fo…

China showed a few years ago that blasting satellites with missiles is neither subtle or sustainable. This kind of thing could be weaponized much more efficiently

Russia announced the abandonment of the su-57 yesterday. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/russi...

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/facts-and-figures It is possible that code itself is not that complex, but the interaction between all modules certainly has a high level of complexity…

The code base for the International Space Station is probably also VERY complex

This is a critical part to consider in "current" fusion research. Most of it rely on the deuterium / tritium fusion which will probably require a classic nuclear plant to generate …

Wow, dropbox made it long and annoying to give them less money. Verdict : I love it!

You have a bunch of nice images. Are those taken with "standard" microscopes? Also you mentioned a background in metrology. How do you inspect something a few atoms thick?

This article is from September

Claim 5 is a bit puzzling to me : A key feature of the plasma magnet is that the diameter of the magnetosphere increases as the density of the solar wind decreases as it expands aw…

a shared_ptr would probably also be a better choice if the ptr should go through several nodes of the pipeline

So it seems that even music has its own kind of numerologists

You can also go to the Bell Center to see the Canadiens too. It's just a bit trickier to get around.

What's wrong with webpage design? Having a web page about images you want to show actually showing whole images isn't cool anymore?

This is my favorite part of Montreal. When it's -20C outside, having access to everything without going outside is good city planning http://montrealvisitorsguide.com/reso-undergro…

A slim jim worked because the wires holding the lock were exposed inside the door. An extremely cheap fix was to wrap those with a metal cylinder. I was under the impression that t…

If you had a large choice of ISPs, then Net Neutrality wouldn't be required. It would come by default as the client could move from a restrictive ISP to a less restrictive one. Sin…
