> QR Code does have the advantage that it's easier to read by imaging software than UPC-A or EAN-13, due to the targeting patterns in the corners. That could increase the speed of …

Curiosity did get the better of me and you seem to be spamming every fucking forum so WTH. The longest time it took for anything was waiting for the file to download. The rest of t…

It looks like you got lucky and this proprietary format is nothing more than standard MIDI file concatenated together with perhaps some additional data that you are able to ignore …

> It feels a bit like the error correction exists mainly so you can embed fancy logos in your QR code Absolutely not the case. QR codes, like most 2D matrix codes were designed for…

Sure, but GP stated wrt traffic patterns, "This is independent of whether the approach is IFR or VFR." which is not the case. For IFR, as was the case here, the LH was looking to e…

Aerodrome traffic circuit is the ICAO term for traffic pattern, which is it what it is called in the US (it may be in the glossary but the point is that manual uses "traffic patter…

A significant performance degradation due to normal use of the instruction (FSRM) not otherwise documented is a correctness problem. Especially considering that the workaround is t…

Not obvious. Seems like if it can be corrected with microcode just have people use updated microcode rather than litter the kernel with fixes that are effectively patchable softwar…

56k was not relevant for point to point communicating between arbitrary points on the network though. 56kbps dial-up worked in an asymmetric fashion with a fully digitally connecte…

"Fast-forward to 1962. Ma Bell begins using T-1s to connect its switching centers. T-1s are a digital communications link, not analog. The entire phone network goes digital. In a m…

It's really nothing at all like that. TTYs are the core interface of all terminals in *nix including the one you would use in any X11, Wayland or other graphical environment, those…

No, what they are referring to: you could actually just exit Windows entirely, or just skip booting into it and what you would be left at is a plain real mode DOS environment. From…
