I can recommend https://www.widelands.org/ Don't ask me how many hours I wasted with that, just to experience the wuselfactor. The mission is also quite fun. Another good timewaste…

China now has a lot of donors for plasma with antibodies. That's why they can stop the shutdown and start tracing outbreaks and treating patients.

I replaced a handwritten lexer of a proprietary PDF library with a re2c generated lexer. Besides fixing a bunch of dormant bugs, the resulting lexer was much faster. Also the state…

Are Tesla employees compensated with some kind of shares?

Things I don't understand about the US ... why does not most advanced western nation not have a socially fair health care system. E.g. in germany, the price of health care is propo…

While the words in the articles are public domain, the bits in the files are not. So to free the articles, you have to take the bits, turn them into the words and then encode those…

I think it's more unfortunate that some people have to work at all while sick.

boosts quality varies I've seen parts that weren't much better then someones lib on github, because essentially that's what boost is.

Remember that WebGL is also a security nightmare. Shaders are fed to the GPU driver. The driver contains a compiler and compiles the shaders into the GPU specific ISA. The GPU that…

I think it's not profitable. I work in Berlin and commute to work by public transport every day. You currently pay 60EUR if you get caught and I get checked at least twice a week. …

Increasing the ISO is just a multiplication of the raw sensor value - it doesn't lead to more noise - it just makes it visible to the human eye. Also on my DSLR I can see all kinds…

It's not that simple. Some years ago I used an analog TV card tuned to an empty channel that was giving seemingly white noise and captured frames to generate entropy. I only used t…

The Nintendo Switch is basically a nVidia Jetson TX1 (4xA57@1GHz) with some additional parts and a nice plastic packaging. That's comparable to a RasPi 3 except for the GPU. The co…

Most bigger US cities look and feel like Disneyworld compared to Berlin (including SF). Yet, you are much safer there. Dirt is not the problem.

I bought an AMD card for my Linux desktop this year, because they have better open source drivers then nVidia :) Before that, I bought nVidia or Intel. It's a good feeling to run w…

If you want to see this in action, just visit the CCC event. People regularly manage to DoS (or just overload, I don't know) even the DHCP servers. So at some point all you will ge…

OSX gets it right? Yeah, by delaying many security updates. I admit though when they do updates, you barely notice.

Your are right, of course. Maybe what I wanted to express was more like this: TP-Link has a sloppy attitude towards the security of their stock firmware. It might work, but it is f…
