It sounds like they're sticking something in a small cavity and covering it. Like a filling. Minus the drilling.

My computer certainly does more than the one 27 years ago did, in the senses of operations it performs in a second, capacity of data storage, increased intercommunication options, …

So, if the new advice is to avoid "processed foods", what set of characteristics about processed foods make them bad? Is there a specific pattern? High in triglycerides? Preservati…

The code running on the CPU isn't the only thing the computer is doing in that one second, the X86{,_64} opcodes we could capture aren't necessarily exactly what the CPU is doing, …

I don't think it's trespassing for the players to be at Kijkduin, just problematic to have people there in those numbers. The players may be making individually-acceptable choices,…

Agreed. Ditto for most of Europe. Everyone should standardize on YMD. Lexical sorting and least-to-most specific times make the most sense.

I see people complain about the low power of the Pi3...then I think about how I went through college with a slower computer than that, and how the people over the previous 30 years…

That's the point. They're saying that those 85% of self-made American millionaires aren't as "self-made" as they claim. Like me: I could talk about starting with almost nothing in …

But IME is distinct from "Intel TXT & UEFI Secure Boot" ("this"'s referent). > Intel didn't force [Intel TXT & UEFI Secure Boot] upon the consumers is true. Both of those things ca…

It sounds like you operate how I usually do; the communication cost outweighs the benefits of collaboration, and it ends up being a tiring and frustrating experience. I've seen pai…

All of my joystick ports were on sound cards. As for the IDE controller, a lot of computers in the late 80s and early 90s only had one IDE channel, and it was pretty common to buy …

Ghostery hid it from me, but it had a button for "play one time" that worked perfectly. It sounds a little like a scratchy cello.

I understand the feeling. Mobile phones are great for what they give you, but also great because they're just crappy enough to push you to use a more comfortable solution when one'…

Twirrim is stating that "ignoring the smart stuff" doesn't necessarily mean buying a dumb TV, and that they buy a smart TV, ignore a bunch of the TV's features, and replace them by…

But it doesn't have to be that way, even if it is right now. I wish there were a way to explicitly signal "I bought this Smart TV as a dumb display, and I'm using smart features, j…

You may be talking about two different situations. "r-w" might be thinking about a build style where compilation just uses the versions of libraries available on the system, rather…

It needs a microSD for the stuff in the /boot partition (kernel+devicetree files+firmware blobs+bootloader), but everything else should be able to live on an external USB device. U…

No, but the GPU actually contains a non-ARM general-purpose processor. I think we're in the very early days of knowing how to program for it.

This looks like the source for a Linux Mali-400/450 driver: http://malideveloper.arm.com/?modals=mali-400450-linux-kerne... I haven't really examined it, though. Maybe there's also…

People overreact. When I saw that, I sighed and went on with my day. I consider unsolicited advertisements an unconditional negative, and for Mozilla to say that they included them…

I've got a lot of side projects like this one. The programming I do at work has a solid purpose. It's relaxing to work on something that isn't strictly necessary, as long as it sat…

> for having fun there are many better ways There's no accounting for taste. Building something like this sounds a lot more fun to me than most programming projects that I hear oth…

Why is everything a "product"? Why does everything have to be marketed? Why does there have to be a need for something, for it to be built and to be noteworthy? This looks like a c…

A subset of the tiles are paid advertisements. "Completely harmless" depends on your point of view. Personally, if I have a choice, I'll opt for the browser that doesn't show me "s…
