    Counter-counterexample: your algorithm was too naive. The original song was much more interesting: A sine wave at a single frequency, but with rhythmic volume swells from nearly in…

    For the most part the MAC just looks for another signal on the wire (another train on the same section of rail) and when it looks clear, starts transmitting (driving). As you can i…

    Easy, affix the tag to the item with a blockchain so you know it cant be removed or tampered with.

    They are different things, but you can use both to protect you from the rain, and an umbrella does that more efficiently than a toaster. The drawback is that the umbrella doesn't g…

    I just checked since I’ve never heard it played with that Bb7 in bar 4... I’ve got one of the old unlicensed editions and it has the “right” changes, Cm7 / Cm7 / Fm7 / Fm7. Some of…

    Their CEO should have no issue with his testimony being run through Proctorio's software and being charged with perjury if it's flagged as suspicious

    Yeah, they're only equal when your f(t) = 0 for all t < 0. Otherwise they can be quite different, because the integral limits differ. In an undergrad engineering context you're oft…

    I think the whole point is that there is no code (firmware or otherwise) driving the switch. I guess it depends on your threat model, but if you don't trust apple's hardware or fir…

    Hah, having parameters like --vga-cable-length --ambient-temperature --psrr would be fun though
