    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that scheme will protect you from at most one erasure. Fail D1 and P1 There's no way to recover D1s data since P2 has no data from D1 in it.

    I have a Pinephone, and I can tell I've been really conditioned by Androids flow. Haven't quite figured out the UI yet, but I'm going to put KDE on it and see if my desktop muscle …

    The $799 Librem isn't in the same marketplace as the $200 Pinephone. I can't see Pine64 charging $799 for a very very long time.

    Why do you care? And why is that any business of yours?

    This algorithm basically works when the number of elements to compute the median for is at least as large as the true median, and you've a fairly normal distribution of element val…

    To get a rough idea of the numbers if this was a rail gun and accelerating linearly: 1G is 32 feet/second 32 feet /second is ~22 mph They're accelerating to 5000mph so they need to…

    I don't think it can be broken down so simply. It's clear that the constitution has provisions specifically covering this (ex: 4th amendment), so the Federal courts at least have a…

    Yep, that makes a lot of sense. Skia appears to be BSD licensed which is good. Not having used either, are the capabilities of Skia a superset of Cairo?

    IMO 10.5 was peak OSX. Every other later one has smacked me upside the head with something going wrong.

    What made those computers cool was that you could do things with them than you could NOT do with the run of the machine. Yes, today is a bit boring, but we've all got super compute…

    I like the Xerox Workcenters. Speaks PCL + Postscript, can netcat a job to it. Automatically shows up in CUPS and Windows, and has a full duplex scanner to boot. I got mine for 400…

    Mass does not change. But the effective pressure on the tires is as if the weight (which can be defined as the force required to support something) is indeed higher.

    The only reason an Ekranoplan can't fly higher is it's wings don't generate enough lift out of ground effect. Load a 747 up high enough, and it too wouldn't be able to get out of g…

    From a pure engineering standpoint, you're correct. But after starting my own company I have a different opinion: The idea that any work is "Worth doing" more than 10 minutes ahead…
