Gaddafi criticized Islamic fanatics; he was basically a good guy in the Middle East.

Let's assume that parameter are all the same size and put on a stack. If you know that you are an M-parameter function being called, and you want to tail cal an N-parameter functio…

OK. So I put the slider into a random middle location. Then I zipped it back all the way left as fast as I could. Still not up to competitive speed cubing level! Shucks, golly, gee…

Classic letter writing is dread, acrimony and gin.

Don't forget good old relays.

> Why do CPU vendors implement a mode that cannot be controlled by the user? Devil's Advocate: can you control every transistor in a good old Z80? Of course, that's not where the g…

Not if it is to be 22 nF. To make a 22 nF capacitor using a pair of copper pours separated by a 1.6 mm thick old school two-layer PCB, we would need something like 10 square feet! …

Nobody uses nF in, say, digital, where the only caps are power supply filter caps and bypass/decoupling caps next to ICs. It's not customary to call a 0.1μF bypass cap 100 nF. If s…

Another way to reduce ambiguity is to omit the suffix (unless it's p for picofarads) and let it be deduced from the numbers and symbols. 47 -> 47nF (if next to plain double bar sym…

nF is used a fair bit in audio circuits. Nanofarad-range capacitors, typically from 1 to 100 nF, often appear in filtering circuits. From time to time, values down to around 300 to…

The temperature stability looks fantastic, but it has a voltage coefficient for capacitance which is worse than film caps. From datasheet: > Voltage That is significant: over just …

My joints may be inflexible, but at least I can't be misfolded!

I wouldn't call this a Pareto Frontier, but simple isolines through a 2d function. There are weight x rep combinations that have a e1rm of 80kg, 85kg, 90kg, and so on. These are ju…

In the formula given in the Definition, what is the point of including the y'' /= y' condition, given that y'' >- y'? Could a solution ever Pareto-dominate itself? If we know that …

Maybe the secret is in what you print?

My name is LUCA I'm your distant ancestooor I have some news for you Yes, they think life came once before

> But how wide is the minus sign? It depends on the font size, maybe it’s hard to predict. If you use a real minus sign, and not an ASCII hyphen, it should be the same width as the…

I smell Buridan's ass. :)

Bus cycles can be arbitrarily long on any processor that has memory cycles with a hand shake requiring an ack, with no timeout. E.g. we can build a board around a MC68000 where we …

Yes; it is not relevant whether the dominating solution is in the set or not. It is a fact that the solutions in the front dominate all those not in the front, but the weakest stat…

Compiler should be called Bud. Made an error? Hold your beer, Bud's got your back: the Bud Wyzer compiler!

The way it's written is misleading. The Pareto front solutions are all dominators of the non-solutions, but not dominators of each other. For A to dominate B, A has to be at least …

A kind of Pareto domination criterion is used in C++ for determining overload resolution: which function overload gets the call. The objectives are matching arguments to parameters…

I think it's impossible for it not to be poorly implemented because the gesture is inherently ambiguous (or becomes so when you overload it). I think what "poorly implemented" actu…
